such initial delivery date, (b) is after a Record Date and before the subsequent
Interest  Payment  Date,  in which  case  interest  shall be  computed  from the
subsequent  Interest  Payment Date, or (c) is an Interest Payment Date, in which
case interest shall be computed from such authentication date; provided, that if
interest on the Bonds is in default,  Bonds  shall bear  interest  from the last
date to which interest has been paid.  The principal of,  redemption or purchase
price and premium,  if any, and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in lawful
currency of the United States. The principal of and redemption or purchase price
and premium,  if any, on the Bonds shall be payable at the  principal  corporate
trust  office of the  Trustee  upon  presentation  and  surrender  of the Bonds.
Payments  of interest on the Bonds shall be mailed to the persons in whose names
the Bonds are registered on the register of the Trustee at the close of business
on the Record Date next preceding each Interest Payment Date; provided that, any
Holder  of a Bond or Bonds in an  aggregate  principal  amount  of not less than
$500,000  may,  by prior  written  instructions  filed with the  Trustee  (which
instructions  shall  remain  in  effect  until  revoked  by  subsequent  written
instructions),  instruct that  interest  payments for any period be made by wire
transfer  to an  account  in  the  continental  United  States  or  other  means
acceptable  to the Trustee.  Bonds shall be numbered from 1 upward as determined
by the Trustee and shall contain the designation "R."

         (c) Delivery.  Upon the execution and delivery of this  Indenture,  the
Issuer shall  execute and deliver the Bonds to the Trustee and,  upon receipt by
the Trustee of the  following,  the Trustee  shall  authenticate  the  principal
amount of Bonds  specified in the Issuer's  authorization  and request,  and the
Trustee  shall  deliver the Bonds to the  purchaser or purchasers as directed by
the Issuer:

 Indenture,  the Escrow  Agreement and the Tax  Regulatory

         (iii)    confirmation that the Trustee has received the original, 
executed Letter of Credit from the Bank;

         (iv) an  authorization  and  request  from the Issuer to the Trustee to

initial purchaser or purchasers upon payment to the Trustee,  for the account of
the Issuer, of the purchase price for such principal amount of Bonds;

         (v) an Opinion of Bond Counsel for the Bonds, addressed to the Trustee,

have been validly authorized, executed and issued under the law of the State and
this Indenture has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer;

         (vi) an opinion of Counsel to the Bank  addressed  to the  Trustee,  or
upon which the  Trustee  may rely,  to the effect that the Letter of Credit is a
binding  and valid  obligation  of the Bank and is not  subject to  registration
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

         (vii)    Internal Revenue Service Form 8038 completed by the Issuer

Agreement and the Note have been duly authorized,  executed and delivered by the
Company and are enforceable against the Company, subject to usual exceptions for
matters relating to bankruptcy and equitable principles.

         (d)  Disbursement.  On the date of issuance  of the Bonds,  the Trustee
shall  disburse  all of the  proceeds  derived  from the  issuance of the Bonds,
together  with  sufficient  equity money  provided by the Company,  to the Prior
Bonds Trustee as Escrow Agent under the Escrow Agreement in order to provide for
the  defeasance  in full of the Prior Bonds.  All  additional  moneys  should be
deposited in the Bond Fund and shall be applied as set forth in Section 4.04.

         Section 2.02.  Interest on the Bonds.  The Bonds shall bear interest as
herein  provided from the date thereof until paid in full.  The Bonds will be in
the  principal  amounts,  shall bear interest and shall mature on September 1 in

                  Year                        Principal                Interest

                  1997                       $ 20,000.00                4.200%
                  1998                         25,000.00                4.400
                  1999                         25,000.00                4.500
                  2000                         25,000.00                4.600
                  2001                        160,000.00                4.700
                  2002                        170,000.00                4.800
                  2003                        180,000.00                4,900

                  2005                        205,000.00                5.100
                  2006                        215,000.00                5.200
                  2007                        230,000.00                5.300
                  2012                      1,380,000.00                5.750

         Interest  accrued on the Bonds shall be paid on each  Interest  Payment
Date (or,  if such day is not a Business  Day, on the next  succeeding  Business
Day),  commencing  on March 1,  1997.  The  amount of  interest  payable  on any
Interest  Payment  Date shall be computed  on the basis of the actual  number of
days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, whichever may be applicable.

         Section 2.03.  Execution and Authentication.  The Bonds shall be signed
on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or  facsimile  signature of the Mayor of
the Issuer,  and the seal of the Issuer  shall be  impressed or imprinted on the
Bonds by  facsimile  or  otherwise,  and  attested  by the  manual or  facsimile
signature of the Recorder of the Issuer.  If any officer whose signature is on a
Bond no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Bond,
the Bond shall  nevertheless  be valid.  Also, if a person signing a Bond is the
proper officer on the actual date of execution,  the Bond shall be valid even if
that person is not the proper officer on the nominal date of action.

         A Bond shall not be valid for any purpose under this  Indenture  unless
and until the Trustee  manually signs the certificate of  authentication  on the
Bond,  and such  signature  shall be conclusive  evidence that the Bond has been
authenticated under this Indenture.

         Section 2.04. Bond Register. The Trustee shall keep a register of Bonds
and of their  transfer and  exchange.  Bonds not held under a book-entry  system
must be presented at the  principal  corporate  trust  operations  office of the
Trustee for registration,  transfer and exchange,  and Bonds may be presented at
that office for payment.

         Section 2.05. Registration and Exchange of Bonds; Persons Treated as 
Owners; Book-Entry System.

         (a) Bonds may be  transferred  only on the register  maintained  by the
Trustee.  Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond to the Trustee,  duly endorsed
for transfer or accompanied by an assignment  duly executed by the holder or the
holder's  attorney  duly  authorized  in  writing  and in either  case,  with an
appropriate  guarantee of signature  conforming to the requirements of Exhibit A
hereto,  the Trustee  shall  authenticate  a new Bond or Bonds in an equal total
principal amount and registered in the name of the transferee.

         Bonds may be exchanged for an equal total principal  amount of Bonds of
different Authorized  Denominations.  The Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
Bonds that the  Bondholder  making the exchange is entitled to receive,  bearing
numbers not then outstanding.

         The Trustee  shall not be  required  to  transfer or exchange  any Bond
during the period  beginning  15 days before the  mailing of notice  calling the
Bond or any  portion of the Bond for  redemption  and  ending on the  redemption
date.  Bonds subject to redemption  may be  transferred or exchanged only if the
Trustee provides the new holder thereof with a copy of the notice of redemption.

         The holder of a Bond as shown on the  register of the Trustee  shall be
the  absolute  owner of the Bond for all  purposes,  and  payment of  principal,
interest  or purchase  price shall be made only to or upon the written  order of
such holder or the holder's legal  representative;  provided that interest shall
be paid  to the  Person  shown  on the  register  as a  holder  of a Bond on the
applicable Record Date.

         (b) The Trustee may  require  the  payment by a  Bondholder  requesting
exchange or  registration  of transfer of any tax or other  governmental  charge
required to be paid in respect of the exchange or  registration  of transfer but
shall not impose any other charge.

         (c) The Trustee may make appropriate arrangements for the Bonds (or any
portion  thereof)  to  be  issued  or  held  by  means  of a  book-entry  system
administered  by DTC with no physical  distribution  of Bonds made to the public
(other  than  those  Bonds,  if any,  not held under  such  book-entry  system).
References in this Section  2.05(c) to a Bond or the Bonds shall be construed to
mean the Bond or the Bonds that are held under the  book-entry  system.  In such
event,  one Bond of each maturity shall be issued to DTC and  immobilized in its
custody.  A book-entry  system shall be  employed,  evidencing  ownership of the
Bonds in  Authorized  Denominations,  with  transfers  of  beneficial  ownership
effected  on the records of DTC and the DTC  Participants  pursuant to rules and
procedures established by DTC.

         Each DTC  Participant  shall be credited in the records of DTC with the
amount of such DTC  Participant's  interest in the Bonds.  Beneficial  ownership
interests  in the Bonds may be  purchased  by or through DTC  Participants.  The
holders of these beneficial  ownership interests are hereinafter  referred to as
the  "Beneficial   owners."  The  Beneficial  Owners  shall  not  receive  Bonds
representing their beneficial  ownership  interests.  The ownership interests of
each  Beneficial  Owner  shall  be  recorded  through  the  records  of the  DTC
Participant from which such Beneficial  Owner purchased its Bonds.  Transfers of
ownership  interests in the Bonds shall be  accomplished by book entries made by
DTC and, in turn, by DTC Participants  acting on behalf of Beneficial Owners. SO
LONG AS CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE FOR DTC,  IS THE  REGISTERED  OWNER OF THE BONDS,
THE  TRUSTEE  SHALL  TREAT  CEDE & CO.  AS THE ONLY  HOLDER OF THE BONDS FOR ALL
PURPOSES  UNDER  THIS  INDENTURE,  INCLUDING  RECEIPT  OF ALL  PRINCIPAL  OF AND
INTEREST ON THE BONDS,  RECEIPT OF NOTICES,  VOTING AND  REQUESTING OR DIRECTING
THE TRUSTEE TO TAKE OR NOT TO TAKE, OR CONSENTING TO, CERTAIN ACTIONS UNDER THIS
INDENTURE.

         Payments of principal,  interest and purchase price with respect to the
Bonds,  so long as DTC is the  only  owner  of the  Bonds,  shall be paid by the
Trustee directly to DTC or its nominee,  Cede & Co. as provided in the Letter of
Representation  dated as of September 1, 1996 from the Issuer, the Company,  the
Trustee to DTC (the "Letter of  Representation").  DTC shall remit such payments
to  DTC  Participants,  and  such  payments  thereafter  shall  be  paid  by DTC
Participants to the Beneficial owners. The Issuer, the Company,  and the Trustee
shall not be responsible or liable for payment by DTC or DTC  Participants,  for
sending  transaction  statements or for  maintaining,  supervising  or reviewing
records maintained by DTC or DTC Participants.

         In  the  event  that  (1)  DTC  determines  not to  continue  to act as
securities  depository  for the  Bonds or (2) the  Company  determines  that the
continuation  of the book-entry  system of evidence and transfer of ownership of
the  Bonds  would  adversely  affect  its  interests  or  the  interests  of the
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, the Issuer shall, at the request of the Company,
discontinue  the  book-entry  system with DTC. If the Trustee  fails to identify
another  qualified  securities  depository  to replace  DTC,  the Trustee  shall
authenticate and deliver replacement Bonds in the form of fully registered Bonds
to each Beneficial Owner.

         THE  ISSUER,   THE   COMPANY  AND  THE  TRUSTEE   SHALL  NOT  HAVE  ANY
RESPONSIBILITY  OR  OBLIGATIONS TO ANY DTC  PARTICIPANT OR ANY BENEFICIAL  OWNER
WITH RESPECT TO (i) THE BONDS;  (ii) THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS  MAINTAINED  BY
DTC OR ANY DTC  PARTICIPANT;  (iii) THE PAYMENT BY DTC OR ANY DTC PARTICIPANT OF
ANY  AMOUNT DUE TO ANY  BENEFICIAL  OWNER IN  RESPECT  OF THE  PRINCIPAL  OF AND
INTEREST ON THE BONDS; (iv) THE DELIVERY OR TIMELINESS OF DELIVERY BY DTC OR ANY
DTC  PARTICIPANT OF ANY NOTICE DUE TO ANY  BENEFICIAL  OWNER THAT IS REQUIRED OR
PERMITTED  UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS  INDENTURE TO BE GIVEN TO BENEFICIAL  OWNERS;
(v) THE SELECTION OF BENEFICIAL  OWNERS TO RECEIVE  PAYMENTS IN THE EVENT OF ANY
PARTIAL REDEMPTION OF THE BONDS; OR (vi) ANY CONSENT GIVEN OR OTHER ACTION TAKEN
BY DTC, OR ITS NOMINEE, CEDE & CO., AS OWNER.

         In the event that a  book-entry  system of  evidence  and  transfer  of
ownership  of the  Bonds is  discontinued  pursuant  to the  provisions  of this
Section,  the Bonds shall be delivered  solely as fully registered Bonds without
coupons in the  Authorized  Denominations,  shall be lettered  "IR" and numbered
separately  from 1  upward,  and  shall  be  payable,  executed,  authenticated,
registered, exchanged and canceled pursuant to the provisions hereof.

         (d) The Trustee  shall not be limited to utilizing a book-entry  system
maintained by DTC but may enter into a custody  agreement with any bank or trust
company  serving as custodian  (which may be the Trustee serving in the capacity
of custodian) to provide for a book-entry or similar method for the registration
and registration of transfer of all or a portion of the Bonds.

         SO LONG AS A BOOK-ENTRY  SYSTEM OF EVIDENCE OF TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP OF
ALL THE BONDS IS  MAINTAINED  IN  ACCORDANCE  HEREWITH,  THE  PROVISIONS OF THIS
INDENTURE RELATING TO THE DELIVERY OF PHYSICAL BOND CERTIFICATES SHALL BE DEEMED
INAPPLICABLE  OR BE  OTHERWISE  SO  CONSTRUED  AS TO GIVE  FULL  EFFECT  TO SUCH
BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM.

         Section 2.06. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, Destroyed or Undelivered Bonds.

         (a) If any Bond is mutilated,  lost,  stolen or destroyed,  the Trustee
shall authenticate a new Bond of the same denomination for any mutilated,  lost,
stolen or destroyed  Bond if there is delivered to the Trustee at its  principal
corporate  trust  operations  office,  (1) in the case of a mutilated Bond, such
mutilated  Bond and (2) in the  case of any  lost,  stolen  or  destroyed  Bond,
evidence  of such loss,  theft or  destruction  reasonably  satisfactory  to the
Issuer,  Bank,  Trustee  and  Company,  together  with  an  indemnity  from  the
Bondholder,  reasonably satisfactory to them. If the Bond has matured and if the
evidence and indemnity  described  above have been  provided by the  Bondholder,
instead  of issuing a  duplicate  Bond,  the  Trustee,  with the  consent of the
Company,  shall pay the Bond  without  requiring  surrender of the Bond and make
such requirements as the Trustee deems fit for its protection,  including a lost
instrument  bond.  The  Issuer,  the  Company  and the  Trustee  may  charge the
Bondholder their reasonable fees and expenses in this connection.

         (b) Every new Bond  issued  pursuant  to this  Section  2.06  shall (i)
constitute an  additional  contractual  obligation  of the Issuer  regardless of
whether,  in the case of (a) above,  the  mutilated,  lost,  stolen or destroyed
Bond, and (ii) be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture  equally and
proportionately with any and all other Bonds issued and outstanding hereunder.

         (c) All Bonds shall be held and owned on the express condition that the
foregoing  provisions  of this  Section 2.06 are  exclusive  with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed Bonds and, to the
extent  permitted  by law,  and  shall  preclude  any and all other  rights  and
remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or
other investment securities without their surrender,  notwithstanding any law or
statute to the contrary now existing or enacted hereafter.

         Section  2.07.  Cancellation  of Bonds.  All Bonds  paid,  redeemed  or
purchased,  either at or before maturity, shall be delivered to the Trustee when
such payment,  redemption or purchase is made, and except as otherwise  provided
herein  shall be  canceled.  Whenever a Bond is  delivered  to the  Trustee  for
cancellation  (upon  payment,  redemption,  defeasance  or  otherwise),  or  for
transfer,  exchange or replacement pursuant to Section 2.05 or 2.06, the Trustee
shall  safeguard  such  Bond  for  such  period  of time as may be  required  by
governmental  regulations and thereafter  promptly cancel the Bond and prepare a
certificate of destruction therefor.

         Section 2.08.  Temporary  Bonds.  Until  definitive Bonds are ready for
delivery,  the Issuer may execute and the Trustee shall  authenticate  temporary
Bonds  substantially  in the  form of the  definitive  Bonds,  with  appropriate
variations.  The Issuer  shall,  without  unreasonable  delay,  prepare  and the
Trustee shall authenticate definitive Bonds in exchange for the temporary Bonds.
Such exchange shall be made by the Trustee  without  charge to the  Bondholders.
Temporary  Bonds shall not otherwise be eligible for transfer or exchange  under
Section 2.05.

         Section 2.09.  Additional Bonds.

         (a) At any time while the Issuer is not in default under this Indenture
and subject to the approval and  execution of a  supplemental  Indenture  making
appropriate  provisions  therefor in  accordance  with Section  10.01 hereof and
subject to receipt by the Trustee of the documents  listed below, the Issuer may
issue one or more series of Additional  Bonds for the purpose of providing funds
to be used,  with any other available  funds,  for the purpose of (i) paying the
cost of all improvements,  restoration,  repairing, rebuilding,  rearranging and
replacements  of the Project or any part thereof by the Company  pursuant to, or
(ii) refunding all or part of any prior series of Bonds,  or any  combination of
the  above.  Each  series of  Additional  Bonds  shall be issued  pursuant  to a
supplement  to this  Indenture.  Unless  otherwise  provided  in a  supplemental
Indenture,  all such Additional Bonds shall be in substantially the same form as
the Bonds, but shall be of such denominations, bear such dates, bear interest at
such rates, have such maturity dates,  redemption dates and redemption premiums,
contain an appropriate series  designation,  and be issued at such prices all as
approved by Company.

         The Trustee shall  authenticate and deliver such Additional  Bonds, but
only upon receipt of the following:

         (1)      A certificate of the Issuer, signed by its President, that it 
                  is not in default under this Indenture.

         (2)      A   certificate   of  the   Company,   signed   by  a  Company
                  Representative  approving  the  issuance  and  terms  of  such
                  Additional  Bonds  and  that it is not in  default  under  the
                  Agreement.

         (3)      A certified  copy of a resolution or resolutions of the Issuer
                  authorizing  a)the  execution and delivery of the amendment to
                  the Agreement  referred to in  subparagraph  4 of this Section
                  2.09,  (b) the  execution  and  delivery  of the  supplemental
                  Indenture  referred to in  subparagraph 5 hereof,  and (c) the
                  issuance,  award,  execution  and delivery of such  Additional
                  Bonds.

         (4)      An  original  executed  counterpart  of an  amendment  to  the
                  Agreement  providing,  among other things,  for increasing the
                  amounts  payable by the Company  thereunder to include payment
                  of  principal  of,  premium,  if  any,  and  interest  on such
                  Additional Bonds.

         (5)      An original executed counterpart of a supplemental Indenture
providing for the issuance of such Additional Bonds.

         (6)      Evidence of the consent of the Bank to the issuance of such 
                  Additional Bonds.

         (7)      An opinion of Counsel that the  amendment to the Agreement and
                  a new  promissory  note  each  has been  properly  authorized,
                  executed,  and  delivered  by Company,  that the  supplemental
                  Indenture  has  been  properly   authorized,   executed,   and
                  delivered  by the  Issuer,  and  that  such  amendment  to the
                  Agreement,  new promissory  note, and  supplemental  Indenture
                  (assuming in the case of the  supplemental  Indenture,  proper
                  authorization  and  execution  and  delivery  thereof  by  the
                  Trustee),  are valid and binding and enforceable in accordance
                  with their  respective  terms,  except as same is  affected by
                  laws affecting  creditors' rights and the enforcement  thereof
                  generally and except to the extent that the remedy of specific
                  performance and other equitable remedies are always within the
                  discretion  of  the  Court,  and  that  the  amendment  to the
                  Agreement  and  the  supplemental  Indenture  have  been  duly
                  recorded in every necessary  recording  office and appropriate
                  financing  statements  have been filed in all  filing  offices
                  where such filing shall be necessary;

         (8)      A written  opinion of Nationally  Recognized Bond Counsel that
                  the issuance of such Additional Bonds has been duly authorized
                  by the  Issuer  and  will  have no  adverse  effect  upon  the
                  exemption  from Federal  income taxes of interest on the Bonds
                  or any other then outstanding series of Additional Bonds.

         (9)      A  request  and  authorization  by the  Issuer,  signed by its
                  President,  to the Trustee to  authenticate  and deliver  such
                  Additional  Bonds upon  payment to the Trustee for the account
                  of the Issuer of a specified sum.

         (b) When the requirements of subsection A of this Section have been met
to the  reasonable  satisfaction  of the Trustee and when the  Additional  Bonds
shall  have been  executed  and  authenticated  in the manner  required  by this
Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver such Additional Bonds but only upon payment
to the Trustee of the purchase price of such Additional Bonds.

         (c) The  proceeds  of all Bonds  issued  under the  provisions  of this
Section  (other than  refunding  Bonds) shall be deposited with the Trustee in a
special  fund  appropriately  designated  and held in trust for the  purpose  of
paying the costs for which such  Additional  Bonds were issued to finance except
that any accrued interest  received on the sale of such Additional Bonds and any
amount  authorized for the payment of interest  during any period of acquisition
and  construction and for a reasonable  period  thereafter shall be deposited to
the credit of the Bond Fund (i.e., in the designated  subaccount  therein).  The
proceeds of all  refunding  Bonds  issued under the  provisions  of this Section
shall be deposited with the Trustee in a special  escrow account  pledged solely
to the  payment of the  principal  of,  premium,  if any,  and  interest  on the
refunded Bonds,  except that the accrued  interest  received on the sale of such
Additional Bonds may be deposited instead in the Bond Fund.

thereafter are subject to optional redemption in whole or in part at any time on
any  date on or after  September  1,  2006  (less  than  all of the  Bonds to be

         NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS INDENTURE TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT
SHALL  PROCEEDS OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT BE USED TO PAY THE  REDEMPTION  PRICE OF
BONDS CALLED FOR REDEMPTION PURSUANT TO SECTION 3.01(a).

         (b) Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. (i) The Bonds maturing September
1,  2012  are  subject  to  mandatory  sinking  fund  redemption  prior to their
scheduled maturity,  on September 1, 2008, and on each succeeding September 1 to
and  including  September 1, 2012, or if any such date is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding  Business Day, without premium, at a redemption price of the
principal amount thereof with interest accrued to, but excluding, the redemption
date, in the following principal amounts:

                                                                       Principal
                  Year                                                  Amount

                  2008                                                 $245,000
                  2009                                                  260,000
                  2010                                                  275,000
                  2011                                                  290,000
                  2012 (Maturity)                              310,000

         (ii) At its  option,  to be  exercised  on or before  the 45th day next
preceding any such sinking fund redemption  date, the Issuer,  or the Company on
behalf of the Issuer, may:

                  (x)      deliver to the Trustee for  cancellation  Bonds in 
                  any  aggregate  principal  amount  desired to be credited
                  against the Issuer's sinking fund redemption obligations; or

                  (y)  instruct  the  Trustee,  to credit  against the  Issuer's
                  sinking fund  redemption  obligations  any Bonds that prior to
                  such date have  been  redeemed  (otherwise  than  through  the
                  operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Trustee and
                  not  theretofore  applied as a credit against any sinking fund
                  redemption obligation.

         Each Bond so delivered or previously  redeemed shall be credited by the
Trustee at 100% of the principal  amount  thereof  against the obligation of the
Issuer on such sinking fund  redemption  dates.  Any excess over such obligation
shall  be  credited  against  future  sinking  fund  redemption  obligations  in
chronological  order,  and the  principal  amount of the Bonds to be redeemed by
operation of the sinking fund shall be accordingly reduced.

         (c) Mandatory Redemption on Determination of Taxability.  The Bonds are
also  subject  to  mandatory  redemption  at a  redemption  price  equal  to the
principal amount thereof with interest to, but excluding, the redemption date in
whole (or in part as provided  below),  without  premium,  on the first day of a
month  within  180  days  after  the  Company  receives  written  notice  from a
Bondholder or former  Bondholder or the Trustee of a final  determination by the
Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent  jurisdiction that the interest
paid or to be paid on any Bond is or was  includable  in the gross income of the
Bond's owner (other than an owner that is a  "substantial  user" of the Facility
or a  "related  person"  within the  meaning of Section  147(a) of the Code) for
federal income tax purposes (a "Determination  of Taxability"),  or if such date
is  not  a  Business  Day,  on  the  next  succeeding   Business  Day.  No  such
determination   will  be  considered  final  unless  the  Bondholder  or  former
Bondholder involved in the determination gives the Company,  the Trustee and the
Bank prompt written notice of the  commencement of the proceedings  resulting in
the determination and offers the Company,  subject to the Company's  agreeing to
pay all  expenses of the  proceeding  and to  indemnify  the holder  against all
liabilities that might result from it, the opportunity to control the defense of
the  proceeding  and either the Company does not agree within 30 days to pay the
expenses,  indemnify the holder and control the defense or the Company  exhausts
or chooses not to exhaust  available  procedures  to contest or obtain review of
the  result of the  proceedings.  Fewer  than all the Bonds may be  redeemed  if
redemption  of fewer than all would result in the interest  payable on the Bonds
remaining  outstanding  being not  includable  in the gross  income for  federal
income tax  purposes of any holder.  If fewer than all Bonds are  redeemed,  the
Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed by lot as provided in Section 3.03
or by such other  method  acceptable  to the  Trustee as may be  approved  in an
opinion of Bond Counsel.

         (d) Mandatory  Redemption on  Expiration  or  Termination  of Letter of
Credit Without Extension or Providing a Substitute  Letter of Credit.  The Bonds
are subject to mandatory  redemption,  in whole without  premium at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the  principal  amount  thereof  plus  accrued and unpaid
interest  thereon to, but not including,  the  redemption  date, on the Interest
Payment  Date that next  precedes by at least 14 days the stated  expiration  or
termination  date of the Letter of Credit or, if such  Interest  Payment Date is
not a Business Day, on the next succeeding  Business Day, unless by the 15th day
prior to such Interest Payment Date the Company provides to the Trustee, and the
Trustee has accepted,  (1) evidence that such Letter of Credit has been extended
or (2) a  Substitute  Letter  of  Credit  to be  effective  on or  prior to such
Interest Payment Date.

         Section  3.02.  Redemption  Date.  The  redemption  date of Bonds to be
redeemed pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in Section 3.01(a) shall
be a date  permitted by such clauses and  specified by the Company in the notice
delivered pursuant to the preceding  Section.  The redemption date for mandatory
redemptions  shall be as specified in Section  3.01(b)  through (d), as the case
may be, or determined by the Trustee consistently with the provisions thereof.

         Section  3.03.  Selection of Bonds To Be Redeemed.  Except as otherwise
provided in this Section  3.03,  if fewer than all the Bonds are to be redeemed,
the Trustee shall select the Bonds to be redeemed by lot or such other method as
it deems in its sole  discretion to be fair and  appropriate.  The Trustee shall
treat each holder of Bonds as the owner of one Bond for  purposes  of  selection
for  redemption  and shall select Bonds for redemption by lot (1) from among the
holders of less than $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount,  provided that if
there are no such holders,  or if, after  selection from among such holders such
selection has not resulted in redemption of a sufficient  amount of Bonds,  then
(2) from among the holders of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate  principal  amount
of Bonds.  No portion of a Bond may be redeemed that would result in a Bond that
is smaller than the then permitted  minimum  Authorized  Denomination.  For this
purpose,  the Trustee shall consider each Bond in a denomination larger than the
minimum  denomination  permitted  by the Bonds at the time to be separate  Bonds
each in the minimum  denomination.  Provisions of this  Indenture  that apply to
Bonds  called  for  redemption  also  apply  to  portions  of Bonds  called  for
redemption.

         Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Indenture, there shall
be no  redemption of less than all of the Bonds if there shall have occurred and
be continuing an Event of Default.

         Section 3.04. Notice to Trustee; Notice of Redemption.

         (a) If the Company  wishes  that any Bonds be redeemed  pursuant to the
optional  redemption  provisions in Section  3.01(a)  hereof,  the Company shall
notify the  Trustee  and the Bank in writing of the  applicable  provision,  the
redemption  date,  the  principal  amount  of Bonds  to be  redeemed  and  other
necessary  particulars.  The  Company  shall give such  notices at least 40 days
before the redemption date.

         (b) For Bonds being redeemed pursuant to Subsections (a) through (c) of
Section 3.01,  the Trustee  shall prepare and send notice of each  redemption to
each  Bondholder  whose  Bonds are being  redeemed,  the Company and the Bank by
first-class  mail  at  least  30 days  but not  more  than 60 days  before  each
redemption.  If the Bonds are being held under a book-entry system  administered
by DTC and less than all of the Bonds are called  for  redemption,  the  Trustee
shall prepare and send notice of such redemption to each such  Beneficial  owner
at the time and in the manner provided in this Section 3.04(b). The notice shall
identify  the Bonds or portions  thereof to be redeemed  and shall state (i) the
type of redemption and the redemption  date,  (ii) the redemption  price,  (iii)
that the  Bonds  called  for  redemption  must be  surrendered  to  collect  the
redemption price,  (iv) the address at which the Bonds must be surrendered,  (v)
that  interest  on the  Bonds  called  for  redemption  ceases  to accrue on the
redemption  date,  (vi) the CUSIP number of the Bonds and (vii) any condition to
the redemption.

         The procedure  for  redemption  of Bonds  pursuant to 3.01(d)  shall be
identical  except that notice shall be sent at least 7
days before each redemption.

         With respect to any Bonds to be redeemed  that have not been  presented
for  redemption  within 60 days after the redemption  date, the Trustee,  at the
expense of the Company, shall prepare and the Trustee shall give a second notice
of redemption  to the holder of any such Bonds that have not been  presented for
redemption,  by  first-class  mail,  within  30 days  of the end of such  60-day
period.

         Failure  by the  Trustee  to give any  notice of  redemption  as to any
particular  Bonds will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any
Bonds in respect of which no such  failure has  occurred.  Any notice  mailed as
provided in the Bonds will be  conclusively  presumed to have been given whether
or not actually received by any holder.

         Section 3.05. Payment of Bonds Called for Redemption. Upon surrender to
the  Trustee,  Bonds  called for  redemption  shall be paid as  provided in this
Article at the redemption price provided for in this Article.  On the date fixed
for redemption,  notice having been given in the manner and under the conditions
hereinabove provided,  the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall
be due and payable at the  redemption  price  provided  therefor,  plus  accrued
interest to such date. On such redemption date, if moneys  sufficient to pay the
redemption  price of the Bonds to be redeemed,  plus accrued interest thereon to
the date fixed for  redemption,  are held by the Trustee,  interest on the Bonds
called for  redemption  shall  cease to accrue;  such  Bonds  shall  cease to be
entitled  to any  benefits  or  security  under this  Indenture  or to be deemed
outstanding;  and the  holders  of such  Bonds  shall  have no rights in respect
thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof,  plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption.

         Section 3.06. Bonds Redeemed in Part. Upon surrender of a Bond redeemed
in part, the Trustee shall authenticate for the holder a new Bond or Bonds equal
in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              PAYMENT OF BONDS AND
                                CREATION OF FUNDS

         Section  4.01.  Payment of Bonds.  The Trustee shall make payments when
due of principal of and interest on Bonds  (including upon the redemption of the
Bonds as described in Article III hereof):

         (a)      first, from Available Moneys held by the Trustee in the Bond 
                  Fund; and

         (b)      second, from moneys drawn by the Trustee under the Letter of 
                  Credit and deposited in the Bond Fund;

         (c)      last, from any other moneys available to the Trustee.

The proceeds of investments of any moneys in any of these categories may be used
to the same extent as the moneys invested could be used.

         Section  4.02.  Creation of Bond Fund.  There is hereby  created by the
Issuer and ordered  established  with the Trustee a trust fund to be  designated
"City of Beckley, West Virginia/Beckley Health Care Corp.: Bond Fund." The money
and securities in such fund shall be held in trust by the Trustee and applied as
herein  provided and, until such  application,  the money and securities in such
Fund shall be subject to a lien and charge in favor of the Bondholders.

         Section 4.03. Payments into Bond Fund.  There shall be deposited into 
the Bond Fund, as and when received:

         (a)      all moneys received from a drawing under the Letter of Credit;

         (b)      all payments specified in section 4.1 of the Agreement; and

         (c) all other moneys  received by the Trustee under and pursuant to any
of the provisions of the Agreement  (other than Sections 4.1(b) and 5.6 thereof)
that are required or that are  accompanied by directions that such moneys are to
be paid into the Bond Fund.  To the extent that moneys  described in (a), (b) or
(c) above would not constitute Available Moneys at the time of such deposit, the
Trustee  shall  create  separate  subaccounts  in the Bond Fund in which  moneys
described in each of such (a), (b) and (c) above shall be held until such moneys
constitute  Available Moneys. The Trustee shall create a separate  subaccount in
the Bond Fund for, and shall not commingle  moneys  described in Section 4.01(a)
with, any other moneys  hereunder.  So long as any of the Bonds issued hereunder
are Outstanding the Issuer shall deposit, or cause to be paid to the Trustee for
deposit  in the Bond Fund for its  account,  sufficient  sums  from the  amounts
derived from the  Agreement  promptly to pay when due the principal of all Bonds
(whether at maturity, upon redemption or acceleration or otherwise), interest on
the  Bonds  and the  purchase  price of the  Bonds as the  same  become  due and
payable,  except that all payments  shall be limited as provided in Section 2.01
and the Issuer makes no  representation  or warranty  that the amount  deposited
will be adequate to make all payments when due.

         Section 4.04. Use of Moneys in Bond Fund. Except as provided in Section
4.06,  moneys in the Bond  Fund  shall be used  solely  for the  payment  of the
principal  of and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and payable
whether at maturity,  upon redemption or otherwise and for the purchase price of
the Bonds as the same shall become due, and the Trustee  shall make such payment
in accordance  with the  provisions of the Bonds and this  Indenture;  provided,
however,  that to the extent such principal,  interest or purchase price is paid
with  proceeds  of a drawing  under the Letter of Credit and the Parent does not
reimburse the Bank directly,  the Trustee shall promptly reimburse the Bank from
funds on deposit in the Bond Fund.

         Section 4.05.  Custody of Bond Fund. The Bond Fund shall be held in the
custody  of the  Trustee  but in the  name  of the  Issuer.  The  Issuer  hereby
authorizes  and directs (a) the  Trustee to withdraw  sufficient  funds from the
Bond Fund to pay the  principal  of,  interest on and the purchase  price of the
Bonds as the same become due and  payable,  and to  withdraw  from the Bond Fund
funds  sufficient to pay any other amounts payable  therefrom as the same become
due and payable;  provided however, that to the extent such principal,  interest
or purchase  price is paid with proceeds of a drawing under the Letter of Credit
and the Parent does not reimburse the Bank directly,  the Trustee shall promptly
reimburse  the Bank from funds on  deposit in the Bond Fund other than  proceeds
from a drawing on the Letter of Credit.

         Section  4.06.  Moneys To Be Held in Trust.  All money that the Trustee
shall have  withdrawn  from the Bond Fund or shall have  received from any other
source and set aside for the purpose of paying any of the Bonds hereby  secured,
either at the  maturity  thereof or call for  redemption  or for the  purpose of
paying any interest on the Bonds hereby  secured,  shall be held in trust by the
Trustee  for  the  respective  Holders.  Any  money  that  is so  set  aside  or
transferred  and that remains  unclaimed  by the Holders for the escheat  period
provided by State law shall be treated as  abandoned  property,  and the Trustee
shall report and remit this property  according to the requirements of State law
and  thereafter the Holders shall look only to the  appropriate  State agency or
official  for payment  and then only to the extent of the  amounts so  received,
without any  interest  thereon,  and the  Trustee  and the Issuer  shall have no
responsibility with respect to such money.

         Section 4.07.  Payment to Company From Bond Fund. After payment in full
of the principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds, the fees, charges and
expenses of the Issuer,  the Trustee and the Bank (including  without limitation
the fees and  expenses  of  their  respective  counsel)  and all  other  amounts
required to be paid hereunder,  including payments of rebatable  arbitrage,  any
amounts remaining in the Bond Fund shall be paid immediately to the Company.

         Section 4.08. Investment of Moneys. To the extent permitted by law, the
Trustee  shall invest and reinvest  moneys held by it  representing  proceeds of
drawings under the Letter of Credit and Available  Moneys on deposit in the Bond
Fund only in U.S. Government obligations (or in a mutual fund composed solely of
U.S.  Government  Obligations)  maturing at such times as such  amounts  will be
needed for the  purposes  thereof.  Unclaimed  moneys held by the Trustee  under
Section 4.06 shall be held uninvested by the Trustee.

         The Trustee may make  investments  permitted by this Article through or
from their own bond  departments  or the bond  departments  of any bank or trust
company under common control with the Trustee.  Investments  shall be registered
in the name of the  Trustee,  or its nominee and held by or under the control of
the Trustee.  The Trustee  shall sell and reduce to cash a sufficient  amount of
investments  whenever  the  cash  held  by  them  is  insufficient.  The  Issuer
represents  that it will take no action  that  would  cause  moneys  held by the
Trustee in connection with the Bonds to be used in a manner that would cause the
Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of
the Code.

                                    ARTICLE V

                                LETTER OF CREDIT

         Section 5.01. Requirements for Letter of Credit. In order to secure its
obligations  under the  Agreement,  pursuant  to  Section  4.7 of the  Financing
Agreement,  the  Company  has agreed  (a) upon the  initial  authentication  and
delivery of the Bonds, to deliver to the Trustee the Letter of Credit, issued by
the Bank in favor of the  Trustee  and for the  benefit  of the  holders  of the
Bonds; and (b) to ensure that so long as any Bonds remain outstanding,  a Letter
of Credit shall be in effect with respect to such Bonds with terms substantially
conforming to those of the original Letter of Credit.

         Section 5.02.  Draws on Letter of Credit; Extensions.

         (a) The Trustee shall make timely draws in  accordance  with the Letter
of Credit such that timely  payment under Section 4.01 is made without resort to
the sources of payment  described in  Subsections  (b) and (c) of Section  4.01.
Such draws shall be in amounts equal to the total  principal and interest due on
redemption price, or purchase price payable with respect to, the Bonds, less the
amounts (if any)  available  under  Subsection  (a) of Section 4.01. The Trustee
shall make such draws in such a fashion as to be able to obtain by 3:15 p.m. and
to make such payment when due in accordance with this Indenture and the Bonds.

         (b) In drawing on the Letter of Credit,  the Trustee  will be acting on
behalf of the Bondholders by facilitating payment of the Bonds and not on behalf
of the  Issuer or Company  and shall not be  subject  to the  control of either.
Proceeds of draws on the Letter of Credit shall be held in the Bond Fund.

         (c) The Trustee  shall advise the Company and the Parent by telecopy or
telex on the date of each draw on the Letter of Credit of the amount and date of
such draw and of the reason for such draw.

         (d) For  extensions  of the term of the Letter of Credit,  the  Trustee
shall,  at the  direction of a Company  Representative,  but only if required to
evidence an extension of the term of the Letter of Credit,  surrender the Letter
of Credit to the Bank in exchange  for a new Letter of Credit of the Bank or the
Letter of Credit with notations thereon, as the Bank may so elect, conforming in
all material  respects to the Letter of Credit except that the  expiration  date
shall be extended. Any such extension shall be for a period of at least one year
or, if less, until the 15th day following the maturity date of the Bonds.

         Section 5.03. Substitute Letter of Credit.

         (a) At any time while a Letter of Credit is in effect  with  respect to
the Bonds,  upon at least 60 days'  prior  written  notice to the  Trustee,  the
Company may,  provide for the delivery to the Trustee of a substitute  Letter of
Credit complying with the provisions of this Indenture (the  "Substitute  Letter
of  Credit"),  which shall be effective  upon  acceptance  by the  Trustee.  Any
Substitute  Letter of Credit shall have a stated expiration date of at least one
year following the effective date thereof.

         (b) On or  before  the date of  delivery  of any  Substitute  Letter of
Credit to the Trustee,  as a condition to the  acceptance by the Trustee of such
Substitute Letter of Credit, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee:

         (i) An opinion of Counsel  addressed  to the Trustee to the effect that
(A) the Substitute  Letter of Credit is the valid and binding  obligation of the
issuer  thereof  enforceable  against such issuer in  accordance  with its terms
except insofar as its enforceability may be limited by any insolvency or similar
proceedings  applicable to the issuer or by proceedings  affecting generally the
rights  of the  issuer's  creditors  or by  general  equitable  principles;  (B)
payments of principal, interest or purchase price on the Bonds from the proceeds
of a draw on the  Substitute  Letter of  Credit  will not  constitute  avoidable
preferences under any applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency or other
similar  laws;  and (C) the  Substitute  Letter of Credit does not  constitute a
separate security  requiring  registration under any applicable federal or state
securities laws. In the case of a Substitute Letter of Credit issued by a branch
or agency of a foreign commercial bank, there shall also be delivered an opinion
of Counsel from a firm licensed to practice law in the jurisdiction in which the
head office of such bank is located,  addressed  to the  Trustee,  to the effect
that the Substitute Letter of Credit is the valid and binding obligation of such
bank, enforceable against such bank in accordance with its terms, subject to the
limitations referred to in Section 5.03(b)(i)(A) above;

         (ii)  written  evidence  that the  issuer of the  Substitute  Letter of
Credit meets the  requirements  for an issuer of a Letter of Credit as set forth
in the definition of Letter of Credit; and

         (iii) an opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect
that the  delivery  and  acceptance  of such  Substitute  Letter  of  Credit  is
authorized  under  this  Indenture  and its  delivery  and  acceptance  will not
adversely  affect the  exclusion  from gross income of the interest on the Bonds
for federal income tax purposes;

         The Trustee shall accept any such  Substitute  Letter of Credit only in
accordance with the terms, and upon satisfaction of the conditions, contained in
this Section and any other applicable provisions of this Indenture.

         (c) Not  more  than 60 days  and not  less  than 15 days  prior  to the
effective  date of the  Substitute  Letter of  Credit,  the  Trustee  shall,  in
addition  to the notice  required by Section  12.01(b),  send by  registered  or
certified  mail,  to each  holder of the Bonds,  notice of the  issuance  of the
Substitute Letter of Credit,  which notice shall include (i) the identity of the
issuer  thereof  and (ii)  the date the  Substitute  Letter  of  Credit  will be
effective.

         Section 5.04.  Enforcement  of the Letter of Credit.  The Trustee shall
hold and  maintain  the  Letter of Credit  for the  benefit of the Owners of the
Bonds until the Letter of Credit  terminates or expires in  accordance  with its
terms.

         When the Letter of Credit  terminates or expires in accordance with its
terms,  the Trustee shall  immediately  surrender it to the Bank.  Except in the
case of a  redemption  in part  pursuant  to  Article  III  hereof  or any other
reduction in the principal  amount of Bonds  outstanding,  the Trustee shall not
request that the Bank reduce the amount of the Letter of Credit. If at any time,

                             DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

         Section 7.01.  Bonds Deemed Paid;  Discharge of Indenture.  All Bonds 
shall be deemed paid for all purposes of this  Indenture when

         (a) payment of the greater of the  principal of and the maximum  amount

and interest (whether at maturity,  upon redemption,  acceleration or otherwise)
and the payment of the purchase  price of any Bond either has been  provided for
by depositing with the Trustee (A) moneys sufficient to make such payment, which
moneys  must  comply with the  provisions  of Section  4.01(b) or (c) and/or (B)
noncallable U.S. Government Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in
such  amounts and at such times as will insure the  availability  of  sufficient
moneys to make such payment without regard to the reinvestment thereof, provided
that (i) such U.S.  Government  Obligations  must be  purchased  from  Available
Moneys and (ii) the  Trustee  shall have  received  written  evidence  from each
Rating Agency,  if any, rating the Bonds that as a result of such action,  their
rating on the Bonds will not be lowered or eliminated; and

         (b) all  compensation  and  expenses  of the Issuer and the Trustee (as
well as the fees and  expenses  of their  Counsel)  pertaining  to each  Bond in
respect of which such  payment or deposit is made have been paid or provided for
to the respective satisfaction of the Trustee.

         When a Bond is  deemed  paid,  it  shall no  longer  be  secured  by or
entitled to the  benefits of this  Indenture,  except for payment from moneys or
U.S. Government Obligations under (a)(ii) above.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing,  no deposit under (a)(ii) above made for
the  purpose of paying the  redemption  price of a Bond (as opposed to the final
payment  thereof upon  maturity) will be deemed a payment of a Bond as aforesaid
until (x) notice of redemption  of the Bond is given in accordance  with Article
III or, if the Bond is not to be  redeemed  within  the next 60 days,  until the
Company has given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,  irrevocable
instructions  to notify,  as soon as  practicable,  the  holder of the Bond,  in
accordance with Article III, that the deposit required by (a)(ii) above has been
made with the Trustee and that the Bond is deemed to be paid under this  Article
and stating the  redemption  date upon which moneys are to be available  for the
payment  of the  principal  of  the  Bond  or  (y)  the  maturity  of the  Bond.
Additionally,  and while the deposit  under  clause  (a)(ii)  above made for the
purpose of paying the final payment of a Bond upon its maturity will be deemed a
payment of such Bond as aforesaid, the Trustee shall mail notice to the Owner of
such Bond, as soon as practicable,  stating that the deposit required by (a)(ii)
above  has been  made  with the  Trustee  and that the Bond is deemed to be paid
under this. Article.

         When  all  Outstanding  Bonds  are  deemed  paid  under  the  foregoing
provisions of this Section and other sums due hereunder, under the Agreement are

compensation  and  indemnification,  and the Trustee without  further  direction
shall  surrender the Letter of Credit to the Bank, in accordance  with the terms
of the Letter of Credit.  Bonds  delivered  to the Trustee for payment  shall be
canceled by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.07.

         A Company  Representative shall direct the deposit,  investment and use
of the moneys and securities described in this Section such that no deposit will
be made and no use made of any such  deposit  which  would cause any Bonds to be
treated as  "arbitrage  bonds"  within the  meaning of Section  148 of the Code.
Before  accepting or using any such deposit,  the Trustee may request an opinion
of Bond Counsel as to whether such use or acceptance would cause the Bonds to be
so  treated  and that all  conditions  hereunder  have been  satisfied,  and the
Trustee may conclusively rely on such opinion with regard thereto.

         The Trustee  may  request a  certificate  of an  independent  certified
public accountant to the effect that a deposit will be sufficient to defease the
Bonds as provided in this Section 7.01.

         Section  7.02.  Application  of Trust Money.  The Trustee shall hold in
trust money or U.S.  Government  Obligations  deposited  with it pursuant to the
preceding  Section  and shall apply the  deposited  money and the money from the
U.S.  Government  Obligations  in  accordance  with this  Indenture  only to the
payment of principal of, interest on, or purchase prince of, the Bonds.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

                              DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

         Section 8.01. Events of Default.  Each of the following events shall be
an Event of Default:

         (a)      Default in the due and punctual payment of any interest on any
Bond;

         (b)      Default in the due and  punctual  payment of the  principal 
of any Bond  (whether at maturity,  by  acceleration  or
redemption, upon purchase or otherwise);

         (c)      Subject to the  provisions of Section 8.11,  default in the 
observance or performance of any other of the covenants, conditions or 
agreements on the part of the Issuer under the Indenture or in the Bonds;

         (d)  Receipt by the  Trustee  of notice  from the Bank that an Event of
Default has occurred under the Reimbursement  Agreement  accompanied by a demand
by the Bank  that the  Trustee  declare  the  Bonds  to be  immediately  due and
payable; or

         (e)      The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Financing 
Agreement.

         Section 8.02. Acceleration and Duty to Draw on Letter of Credit.

         (a) Upon the  occurrence of an Event of Default under Section  8.01(a),
(b) or (d) hereof, the Trustee shall, by notice to the Issuer, the Holders,  the
Bank and the Company, declare the entire unpaid principal of and interest on the
Bonds immediately due and payable and, thereupon, the entire unpaid principal of
and interest on the Bonds shall  forthwith  become  immediately due and payable.
Upon the  occurrence  of any other  Event of  Default,  the  Trustee may and, if
requested  by the  holders of 25% in  aggregate  principal  amount of Bonds then
Outstanding,  shall,  by notice to the  Issuer,  the  Holders,  the Bank and the
Company,  declare  the entire  unpaid  principal  of and  interest  on the Bonds
immediately due and payable and,  thereupon,  the entire unpaid principal of and
interest on the Bonds shall forthwith become due and payable; provided, however,
that  anything in this  Article  VIII to the  contrary,  so long as the Bank has
honored  all  proper  drawings  under the Letter of  Credit,  without  the prior
written consent of the Bank, the Trustee shall not have the right to declare the
principal of all Bonds and the interest  accrued  thereon to become  immediately
due and  payable  as a result of the  occurrence.of  an Event of  Default  under
Section 8.01(c) or (e). Upon any such declaration the Issuer shall forthwith pay
to the holders of the Bonds the entire unpaid  principal of and accrued interest
on the  Bonds,  but only from the  revenues  and  receipts  herein  specifically
pledged for such purpose.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default  specified
in Section 8.01 and a  declaration  of  acceleration  hereunder,  the Trustee as
assignee of the Issuer shall  immediately  exercise its right under the Note and
the Agreement to declare all  installments on the Note to be immediately due and
payable.  In the event the  Trustee  fails to  accelerate  as  required  by this
Section 8.02(a), the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds
outstanding shall have the right to take such actions.

         (b) Upon the  acceleration of the maturity of the Bonds, by declaration
or otherwise,  the Trustee shall  immediately draw upon the Letter of Credit for
the  aggregate  unpaid  principal  amount of the Bonds and all interest  accrued
thereon,  which shall be applied  immediately as set forth in Section 8.03. Upon
such acceleration, interest on the Bonds shall cease to accrue as of the date of
declaration of such acceleration.

         Section 8.03. Disposition of Amounts Drawn on Letter of Credit;
Assignment of Rights to Contest.

         (a) All  amounts  drawn on the  Letter  of  Credit  by the  Trustee  in
accordance  with Section  8.02(b)  shall be held by the Trustee in the Bond Fund
(and invested in accordance with Section 4.08), shall be applied  immediately to
the payment of principal and interest accrued on the Bonds.

         (b) The Trustee hereby assigns to the Bank all its rights to contest or
otherwise  dispute in the Trustee's name, place and stead and at the Bank's sole
election  and  cost any  claim of  preferential  transfer  made by a  bankruptcy
trustee,  debtor-in-possession  or other  similar  official  with respect to any
amount  paid to the  Trustee by or on behalf of the  Company or the Issuer to be
applied to principal of or interest on the Bonds, to the extent of payments made
to the  Trustee  pursuant to a drawing  under the Letter of Credit.  The Trustee
shall  cooperate  with and assist the Bank in any such contest or dispute as the
Bank may reasonably request;  provided,  however,  that the Bank shall reimburse
the Trustee for its reasonable  costs incurred in connection with providing such
cooperation and assistance. The Trustee shall give the Bank prompt notice of any
claim of preferential transfer of which the Trustee has knowledge. The foregoing
assignment  shall not be deemed to confer  upon the Bank any right to contest or
otherwise dispute any claim of preferential  transfer with respect to any amount
as to which there has been no drawing under the Letter of Credit. The assignment
set forth above shall in no event be  effective  until the Bank shall have first
furnished to the Trustee an  agreement to indemnify  the Trustee and the holders
of the Bonds  against any claim,  liability  or damage that they might suffer by
reason of any such contest or dispute.

         Section  8.04.  Other  Remedies;   Rights  of  Bondholders.   Upon  the
occurrence  of an Event of  Default  the  Trustee,  subject to the terms of this
Indenture,  may  proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Bondholders by mandamus or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity,
including but not limited to an action for specific performance of any agreement
herein  contained  or making a demand for  payment  from the  Company and taking
action pursuant to any other document to which the Trustee is a party.

         Upon the  occurrence  of an Event of Default,  if requested to do so by
the holders of 25% in aggregate  principal  amount of Bonds then outstanding and
if indemnified as provided in Section 9.01(d), the Trustee, subject to the terms
of this  Indenture,  shall  exercise  such one or more of the  rights and powers
conferred by this Article as the Trustee,  upon being advised by counsel,  shall
deem most expedient in the interests of the Bondholders.

         No remedy  conferred by this  Indenture upon or reserved to the Trustee
or to the Bondholders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy,  but each
such remedy  shall be  cumulative  and shall be in addition to any other  remedy
given  to  the  Trustee  or to the  Bondholders  hereunder  or now or  hereafter
existing at law or in equity or by statute.

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

         No waiver of any default or Event of Default hereunder,  whether by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 8.10 or by the Bondholders, shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent  default or Event of Default or shall impair any rights or
remedies consequent thereon.

this  Indenture  to the contrary  notwithstanding,  the holders of a majority in
aggregate  principal amount of Bonds then  outstanding  shall have the right, at
any time, by an instrument or instruments  in writing  executed and delivered to
the Trustee,  to direct the method and place of conducting all proceedings to be
taken in connection  with the  enforcement  of the terms and  conditions of this
Indenture  or  for  the  appointment  of a  receiver  or any  other  proceedings
hereunder; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in
accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.

         Section 8.06. Application of Moneys. All moneys received by the Trustee
pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article

the  collection  of such moneys and of the  expenses,  liabilities  and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee and the fees and expenses, if any, of the Issuer
in carrying out this Indenture or the Agreement,  be deposited in the Bond Fund;
provided,  however, that no proceeds from any draw on the Letter of Credit shall
be used for any purpose  other than  payment of principal of and interest on the
Bonds or purchase thereof.
All moneys in the Bond Fund shall be applied as follows:

         (a) Unless the  principal  of all the Bonds  shall have become of shall

sufficient  to pay in full  any  particular  installment,  then  to the  payment
ratably,  according  to the  amounts  due on such  installment,  to the  persons
entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference except as provided in
Section  8.13 and as to any  difference  in the  respective  rates  of  interest
specified in the Bonds;

         Second - To the payment to the persons  entitled  thereto of the unpaid
principal  of any of the Bonds  which  shall have  become due (other  than Bonds
called for  redemption  for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture), in the order of their due dates, with interest on
such Bonds at the respective  rates specified  therein from the respective dates
upon which they become due and, if the amount  available shall not be sufficient
to pay in full Bonds due on any  particular  date,  together with such interest,
then first to the payment of such interest  ratably,  according to the amount of
such  interest  due on such  date,  and then to the  amount  of such  principal,
ratably,  according  to the amount of such  principal  due on such date,  to the
persons entitled  thereto,  without any  discrimination  or preference except as
provided in Section 8.13 and as to any  difference  in the  respective  rates of
interest specified in the Bonds; and

         Third - To the extent  permitted  by law, to the payment to the persons
entitled  thereto of the unpaid  interest  on overdue  installments  of interest
ratably, according to the amounts of such interest due on such date, without any
discrimination  or  preference  except as provided in Section 8.13 and as to any

payment  of the  principal  and  interest  then due and  unpaid  upon the Bonds,
including to the extent  permitted by law  interest on overdue  installments  of
interest,  without  preference  or priority  of  principal  over  interest or of
interest  over  principal,  or of any  installment  of  interest  over any other
installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably,  according
to the amounts due  respectively  for  principal  and  interest,  to the persons
entitled thereto,  without any discrimination or privilege except as provided in

payable,  and if such  declaration  shall  thereafter  have been  rescinded  and
annulled under the provisions of this Article,  then,  subject to the provisions
of  subsection  (b) of this  Section in the event that the  principal of all the
Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section.

         (d) All amounts  received by the Trustee from a draw upon the Letter of
Credit shall be applied  exclusively to the payment of principal of and interest
on the Bonds.

         Whenever  moneys are to be applied  pursuant to the  provisions of this
section, such moneys shall be applied at such times and from time to time as the
Trustee  shall  determine,  having  due  regard  to the  amount  of such  moneys
available for  application  and the  likelihood of  additional  moneys  becoming
available for such  application in the future.  Whenever the Trustee shall apply
such  moneys,  it shall fix the date (which  shall be an Interest  Payment  Date
unless it shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such  application is
to be made. The Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the
deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall
not be  required  to make  payment  to the holder of any Bond until such Bond is
presented to the Trustee for  appropriate  endorsement  or for  cancellation  if
fully paid.

         Whenever  all  principal  of and  interest  on all Bonds have been paid
under the provisions of this Section and all expenses and charges of the Trustee
and the Issuer have been paid,  and all  obligations  of the Company to the Bank
pursuant  to the  Reimbursement  Agreement  have been  paid in full the  balance
remaining  in the Bond Fund shall be paid to the  Company as provided in Section
4.07.

of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the

thereto and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee may be brought
in its name as  Trustee  without  the  necessity  of joining  as  plaintiffs  or
defendants  any holders of the Bonds,  and any recovery of judgment shall be for
the equal benefit of the holders of the outstanding Bonds.

         Section 8.08.  Limitations on Suits. Except to enforce the rights given

enforcement  of this  Indenture or for the execution of any trust thereof or any
other remedy  hereunder,  unless (a) a default has occurred of which the Trustee
has been notified as provided in Section 9.05, or of which by such Section it is
deemed to have notice,  (b) such  default  shall have become an Event of Default
and the  holders  of at least 25% in  aggregate  principal  amount of Bonds then

name,  (c) such  holders  have  offered to the Trustee  indemnity as provided in
Section  9.01(d),  (d) the Trustee  for 60 days after such notice  shall fail or

holders of the Bonds  shall have any right in any manner  whatsoever  to affect,
disturb or  prejudice  this  Indenture by its, his or their action or to enforce
any  right  hereunder  except  in the  manner  herein  provided,  and  that  all
proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted and maintained in the manner
herein  provided  and for the equal  benefit  of the  holders  of all Bonds then
outstanding.

         The  notification,  request  and  offer of  indemnity  set forth in the
preceding paragraph, at the option of the Trustee, shall be conditions precedent

cause of action for the  enforcement  of this  Indenture or for any other remedy
hereunder.

         Section 8.09.  Termination  of  Proceedings.  In case the Trustee shall
have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a
receiver,  by  entry  or  otherwise,   and  such  proceedings  shall  have  been

adversely,  then.and in every such case the Issuer, the Company, the Bondholders
and the  Trustee  shall  be  restored  to  their  former  positions  and  rights
hereunder,  and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as

         Section  8.10.  Waivers of Events of  Default.  The  Trustee,  with the
written  consent of the Bank,  may waive any Event of Default  hereunder and its
consequences  and  rescind any  declaration  of  maturity  of  principal  of and

Bank,  upon the written  request of the  holders of (a) a majority in  aggregate
principal  amount of Bonds then  outstanding  in respect of which default in the
payment of  principal  and/or  interest  exists,  or (b) a majority in aggregate
principal  amount of Bonds then  outstanding  in the case of any other  default;
provided, however, that:

         (1) there shall not be waived without the consent of the holders of all
Bonds then outstanding:

         (A)      any default in the payment of the  principal of any  
outstanding  Bonds when due (whether at maturity or by mandatory
or optional redemption), or

         (B) any  default in the  payment  when due of the  interest on any such
Bonds unless, prior to such waiver or rescission:

         (i) there shall have been paid or provided  for all arrears of interest
at the rate borne by the Bonds on overdue installments of principal, all arrears
of payments of principal  when due and all expenses of the Trustee in connection
with such default, and

         (ii)  in case  of any  such  waiver  or  rescission,  or in case of the
discontinuance,  abandonment or adverse determination of any proceeding taken by
the Trustee on account of any such  default,  the  Trustee  and the  Bondholders
shall be restored to their respective former positions and rights hereunder;

         (2) no  declaration  of maturity under Section 8.02 made at the request
of the holders of 25% in aggregate  principal  amount of Bonds then  outstanding
shall be  rescinded  unless  requested by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Bonds then outstanding; and

         (3) unless the Trustee has received written evidence that the Letter of
Credit is reinstated  in full as to principal  and  interest,  there shall be no
waiver or  rescission  if the Letter of Credit shall have been drawn upon due to
the occurrence of an Event of Default.

         No such waiver or  rescission  shall extend to any  subsequent or other
default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

         Section  8.11.  Notice of  Defaults;  Opportunity  of  Company  to Cure
Defaults.  Anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding,
no  default  specified  in  Section  8.01(c)  on the  part of the  Issuer  shall
constitute  an Event of Default  until (a) notice of such default shall be given
(1) by the Trustee to the Issuer, the Bank and the Company or (2) by the holders
of 25% in aggregate  principal  amount of Bonds then outstanding to the Trustee,
the Issuer,  the Bank and the Company,  and (b) the Issuer and the Company shall
have had 30 days after such notice to correct such default or cause such default
to be  corrected,  and shall not have  corrected  such  default  or caused  such
default to be corrected within such period;  provided,  however,  if any default
specified in Section  8.01(c)  shall be such that it cannot be corrected  within
such period, it shall not constitute an event of default if corrective action is
instituted  by the Issuer or the  Company  within  such  period  and  diligently
pursued until such default is corrected;  provided, further, that the period for
corrective  action  shall not in any event  extend more than 180 days after such
notice to correct such default.

         With regard to any alleged default  concerning which notice is given to
the  Company,  the  Company  may,  but is under no  obligation  to,  perform any
covenant,  condition or agreement the nonperformance of which is alleged in such
notice to  constitute  a default,  in the name and stead of the Issuer with full
power to do any and all things and acts to the same extent that the Issuer could
do and perform any such things and acts with power of substitution.

         Section 8.12.  Unconditional  Right To Receive  Principal and Interest.
Nothing  in this  Indenture  shall,  however,  affect or impair the right of any
Bondholder  to enforce,  by action at law,  payment of the principal or purchase
price of or interest on any Bond at and after the  maturity  thereof,  or on the
date fixed for  redemption or purchase or (subject to the  provisions of Section
8.02) on the same being  declared due prior to maturity as herein  provided,  or
the  obligation  of the Issuer to pay the  principal  or  purchase  price of and
interest on each of the Bonds issued hereunder to the respective holders thereof
at the time,  place,  from the source and in the manner  herein and in the Bonds
expressed.

         Section 8.13. Bonds Outstanding.  In the event the Bonds are held under
a book entry system, the securities  depositary shall provide the Trustee,  upon
request  of the  Trustee,  the  names,  addresses  and  principal  amount of the
Beneficial Owners of the Bonds.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.14, such
Beneficial  Owners  shall be treated in all respects as the holders of the Bonds
for  purposes  of this  Article,  and the  Trustee  shall  send  notices to such
Beneficial owners as required by this Article.  Notwithstanding anything else in
this  Article  to  the  contrary,  Company  Bonds  shall  not  be  deemed  to be
outstanding for purposes of this Article and the Company as holder thereof shall
not be entitled to any rights or payments  therefor  pursuant to Sections  8.05,
8.06, 8.08 and 8.10.

         Section 8.14. Bank Deemed Holder. For all purposes of this Article VIII
(other  than  receipt of  payments),  the Bank  shall,  so long as the Letter of
Credit shall not have been dishonored  (other than for a reason permitted by the
Letter of Credit),  be deemed the holder and registered  owner of all Bonds.  As
such,  the Bank may take all actions  permitted by this Article VIII to be taken
by the holders or Beneficial Owners of the Bonds, to the exclusion of the actual
holders and  Beneficial  Owners of the Bonds;  the purpose of this  Section 8.14
being to permit  the Bank to direct the taking of  actions  and  enforcement  of
remedies  permitted  by this  Article VIII so long as the Letter of Credit shall
not have been  dishonored  (other than for a reason  permitted  by the Letter of
Credit).

         Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee.

         (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing,  the Trustee
shall  exercise  its rights and powers 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 such person's own affairs.

         (b)      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

         (i) the Trustee need  perform  only those duties that are  specifically
set  forth  in  this  Indenture  and no  others  and  no  implied  covenants  or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee, and

         (ii)  in  the  absence  of  bad  faith,  gross  negligence  or  willful
misconduct on its part,  the Trustee may  conclusively  rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed,  upon certificates
or opinions  furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture.  However,  the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to
determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

         (c) The Trustee may not be relieved from  liability for its own grossly
negligent  action,  its own grossly  negligent failure to act or its own willful
misconduct, except that:

         (i)      this paragraph does not limit the effect of (b) above;

         (ii) the Trustee  shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a  Responsible  Officer,  unless it is proved that the Trustee was
grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

         (iii) the  Trustee  shall not be liable  with  respect to any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction  received by
it pursuant to Section 8.05.

         (d) The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or
power unless it receives  indemnity  reasonably  satisfactory  to it against any
loss,  liability  or expense,  but the Trustee  may not require  indemnity  as a
condition  to  declaring  the  principal  of and interest on the Bonds to be due
immediately  under  Section  8.02 or to  drawing  on the  Letter of Credit or to
taking  action under the Letter of Credit.  The Trustee shall not be required to
give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the trust created  hereby
or the powers granted hereunder.

         (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any cash held by it
except as the  Trustee  may agree with the  Company or with the Issuer  with the

of Credit.

         (h) The Trustee shall maintain adequate records pertaining to the funds
held by the Trustee,  the  investment  thereof and the  disbursement  therefrom;

Trustee  shall not be required to advance its own funds or  otherwise  incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder.

         (i)      Every  provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to 
the Trustee is subject to all the foregoing  paragraphs of this Section.

         (j) The Trustee shall in no event be responsible  for ensuring that the
rate of  interest  due and payable on the Bonds  under this  Indenture  does not
exceed the highest legal rate of interest permissible under federal or state law
applicable thereto.

         Section 9.02. Rights of Trustee.

         (a) Subject to the foregoing  Section,  including,  but not limited to,
Sections  9.01(b)(ii) and 9.01(c), the Trustee may rely on any document believed
by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented  by the proper  person.
The Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.  Any
action  taken by the  Trustee  pursuant  to this  Indenture  upon the request or
authority  or consent of any person,  who at the time of making such  request or
authority or consent is the owner of any Bond,  shall be conclusive  and binding
upon all future owners of any Bond issued in replacement thereof.

         (b) Before the Trustee acts or refrains  from acting,  it may require a
certificate of an  appropriate  officer or officers of the Issuer or the Company
or an opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the person making such  certificate or
opinion has read such  covenant or  condition;  (ii) the nature and scope of the
examination or investigation  upon which the statements or opinions contained in
such certificate or opinion are based;  (iii) in the opinion of such person,  he
has made such  examination  or  investigation  as is  necessary to enable him to
express an informed  opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has
been complied with; and (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of
such person,  such  condition or covenant has been  complied  with.  The Trustee
shall not be  liable  for any loss or damage or action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on the certificate or opinion of Counsel.

         (c) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers  hereunder  and
perform any of its duties through agents,  attorneys or employees or co-trustees
and shall not be  responsible  for the  misconduct  or  negligence of any agent,
attorney, employee or co-trustee appointed with due care.

         Section  9.03.  Individual  Rights of Trustee,  Etc. The Trustee in its
individual or any other  capacity may become the owner,  custodian or pledgee of
Bonds and may  otherwise  deal with the Issuer,  the Bank or with the Company or
its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.

         Section 9.04. Trustee's Disclaimer.  Subject to Sections 9.01(b) and 
9.01(c):

         (a) the Trustee makes no  representation as to the validity or adequacy
of  this  Indenture  or the  Bonds,  and it  shall  not be  responsible  for any
statement  in the  Bonds  or for the  perfection  of any  lien  created  by this
Indenture or otherwise as security for the Bonds;

         (b) the Trustee may construe any of the  provisions  of this  Indenture
insofar  as same may  appear  to be  ambiguous  or  inconsistent  with any other
provision hereof,  and any construction of any such provisions hereof by Trustee
in good faith shall be binding upon the Bondholders, the Issuer and the Company;

         (c) the Trustee shall not be responsible  for the application of any of
the  proceeds of the Bonds or any other moneys  deposited  with it and paid out,
withdrawn or transferred hereunder if such application,  payment,  withdrawal or
transfer shall be made in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture;

         (d)  the  Trustee  shall  not be  under  any  obligation  to see to the
recording or filing of this Indenture,  the Agreement,  any financing statements
or any other  instrument  or  otherwise to the giving to any person of notice of
the provisions hereof or thereof; and

         (e) the Trustee shall not be under any obligation to effect or maintain
insurance  or to  renew  any  policies  of  insurance  or to  inquire  as to the
sufficiency of any policies of insurance  carried by the Company,  or to report,
or make or file claims or proof of loss for, any loss or damage insured  against
or that may occur,  or, to keep itself  informed or advised as to the payment of
any taxes or assessments, or to require any such payment to be made.

         Section 9.05. Notice of Defaults.  The Trustee shall not be required to
take  notice,  or be deemed to have  notice,  of any default or Event of Default
under this Indenture,  other than an Event of Default under Section 8.01(a), (b)
or (d), unless specifically  notified in writing at such address as set forth in
Section  12.01  hereof of such  default or Event of Default by the holders of at
least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, by the Bank, by the
Company.

         If an event  occurs  that with the giving of notice or lapse of time or
both would be an Event of  Default,  and if the event is  continuing  and if the
Trustee  has  actual  notice  or is  deemed  to have  notice  thereof  as herein
provided,  the Trustee shall mail to each  Bondholder and the Bank notice of the
event  upon  such  occurrence.  Except in the case of a default  in  payment  or
purchase of any Bonds,  the Trustee may  withhold the notice if and so long as a
committee of its Responsible  Officers in good faith determines that withholding
the notice is in the interests of Bondholders;  provided that, in any event such
notice shall not be withheld from the Bank.

         Section 9.06.  Compensation and Indemnification of Trustee.  For acting
under this  Indenture,  the Trustee  shall be entitled  to  compensation  by the
Company (which shall not be limited by any statute  regulating the  compensation
of a trustee of an express trust) of reasonable fees for the Trustee's  services
and  reimbursement of advances,  counsel fees and other expenses  reasonably and
necessarily  made or  incurred by the Trustee in  connection  with its  services
under this indenture.

         The Trustee shall be  indemnified by the Company for, and shall be held
harmless  against,  any  loss,  liability  or  expense  incurred  without  gross
negligence,  willful  misconduct or bad faith on the Trustee's part, arising out
of or in connection with the acceptance or  administration  of the trust created
by this Indenture,  including the costs and expenses of defending itself against
any claim or liability in connection  with the exercise or performance of any of
its powers or duties hereunder.

         To secure the payment or  reimbursement  to the Trustee provided for in
this Section, the Trustee shall have a senior claim, to which the Bonds are made
subordinate,  on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,  except
moneys held under  Article VII or otherwise  held in trust to pay  principal of,
interest on and purchase price of the Bonds,  and except amounts drawn under the
Letter of Credit and Available Moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund.

         Section 9.07.  Eligibility of Trustee.  Each of the initial Trustee and
any successor Trustee at the time of its appointment shall: (i) be a corporation
or national  banking  association  duly  organized  under the laws of the United
States of America or any state or territory  thereof,  doing business and having
an office in such  location  as shall be  approved  by the  Issuer,  (ii) have a
combined  capital and surplus of at least  $25,000,000  as set forth in its most
recent published  annual report of condition,  and (iii) be authorized by law to
perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture.

         Section  9.08.  Replacement  of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign and be
discharged of the trust created by this  Indenture by notifying the Issuer,  the
Bank and the Company;  provided,  however, that no such resignation shall become
effective until the appointment of a successor trustee, as hereinafter provided.
The  holders of not less than a majority  in  principal  amount of the Bonds may
remove the Trustee by notifying the removed  Trustee and may appoint a successor
Trustee with the Issuer's,  the Bank's and the Company's prior written  consent;
provided,  however,  that no  such  removal-shall  become  effective  until  the
appointment of a successor trustee, as hereinafter provided.  The Issuer may, in
its sole  discretion,  and at the  request  of the  Company  shall,  remove  the
Trustee,  but in the case where such removal is  requested by the Company,  only
after  obtaining  the prior  written  consent of the Bank.  Upon the  removal or
replacement of the Trustee for any reason, the Issuer and the Company shall give
written notice thereof to the Bank by first-class mail, postage prepaid.

         If the  Trustee  resigns or is  removed  or if a vacancy  exists in the
office of Trustee for any reason, the Issuer,  with the prior written consent of
the Bank and the Company,  shall,  at the expense of the  Company,  use its best
efforts to appoint promptly a successor Trustee.

         A  successor  Trustee  shall  deliver  a  written   acceptance  of  its
appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Issuer, the Bank and the Company.
Immediately thereafter, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by
it as  Trustee  to the  successor  Trustee,  the  resignation  or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall then (but only then) become effective,  and the successor
Trustee  shall have all the rights,  powers and duties of the Trustee under this
Indenture.  The  successor  Trustee shall notify the holders of the Bonds of its
acceptance of the trusts hereunder by first-class  mail promptly  following such
acceptance.

         If a successor  Trustee  does not take office  within 60 days after the
retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,  the retiring Trustee,  the Issuer,  the
Bank, the Company or the holders of a majority in principal  amount of the Bonds
may  petition  any court of  competent  jurisdiction  for the  appointment  of a
successor Trustee.

         If the Trustee fails to comply with Section 9.07,  any  Bondholder  may
petition any court of competent  jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         Section  9.09.  Successor  Trustee or Agent by Merger.  If the  Trustee
consolidates  with,  merges or converts into, or transfers all or  substantially
all its assets (or, in the case of a bank or trust company,  its corporate trust
assets) to, another corporation or national banking association,  the resulting,
surviving or transferee  corporation or national banking association without any
further act shall be the successor  Trustee,  provided that such  corporation or
national  banking  association  shall  otherwise  be  eligible  to serve in such
capacity under this Indenture.

         Section  9.10.  Appointment  of  Co-Trustee.  It is the purpose of this
Indenture  that  there  shall  be no  violation  of any law of any  jurisdiction
(including  particularly  the law of the State) denying or restricting the right
of banking  corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such
jurisdiction.  It is recognized that in case of litigation  under this Indenture
or the Agreement,  and in particular in case of the  enforcement  thereof upon a
default or an Event of Default,  or in case the Trustee  deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any  jurisdiction  it may not  exercise  any of the
powers,  rights or remedies  herein  granted to the Trustee or hold title to the
properties,  in  trust,  as  herein  granted,  or take any  action  which may be
desirable or necessary in  connection  therewith,  it may be necessary  that the
Trustee  appoint an  additional  individual  or  institution  as a  separate  or
co-trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends.

         In the event that the Trustee  appoints  an  additional  individual  or
institution as a separate or co-trustee,  each and every remedy,  power,  right,
claim,  demand,  cause of action,  immunity,  estate,  title,  interest and lien
expressed  or  intended by this  Indenture  to be  exercised  by or vested in or
conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in
such  separate or  co-trustee  but only to the extent  necessary  to enable such
separate or co-trustee to exercise such powers,  rights and remedies,  and every
covenant and  obligation  necessary to the exercise  thereof by such separate or
co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them; provided, however,
that no co-trustee shall be liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
such co-trustee.

         Should any  instrument  in writing  from the Issuer be  required by the
separate or  co-trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties,  rights, powers, trusts,
duties  and  obligations,  any and all such  instruments  in writing  shall,  on
request,  be executed,  acknowledged  and  delivered by the Issuer.  In case any
separate or co-trustee or a successor to either shall die,  become  incapable of
acting,  resign or be removed,  all the  estates,  properties,  rights,  powers,
trusts,  duties  and  obligations  of such  separate  or  co-trustee,  so far as
permitted  by law,  shall  vest in and be  exercised  by the  Trustee  until the
appointment of a new co-trustee or successor to such separate or co-trustee.

                                AMENDMENTS OF AND
                            SUPPLEMENTS TO INDENTURE

         Section  10.01.  Without  Consent of  Bondholders.  The Issuer and the
Trustee may amend or supplement  this  Indenture or the
Bonds without prior notice to or consent of any Bondholder:

         (a)      to cure any ambiguity, inconsistency or formal defect or 
omission;

         (b)      to grant to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders 
additional rights, remedies, powers or authority;

         (c)      to subject to this Indenture additional collateral or to add 
other agreements of the Issuer;

the time in effect;  to permit the qualification of the Bonds for sale under the
securities laws of any state of the United States; or to prevent the application

contemplated  by, or any of the parties to this Indenture,  the Agreement or the
Bonds;

         (e)      to provide for  uncertificated  Bonds or to make any change 
necessary to give effect to a custody agreement  pursuant to Section 2.05(d);

         (f)      to evidence the succession of a new Trustee or the appointment
by the Trustee of a co-trustee;

         (g) to make any  change to  reflect  any  provision  in the Code or the
interpretations  thereof by the  Internal  Revenue  Service  provided  that such
change does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Bondholder;

         (h)  to  make  any  change  not  materially   adversely  affecting  any
Bondholder's  rights  requested  by the  Rating  Agency in order (i) to obtain a
rating from the Rating  Agency  after the  initial  issuance of the Bonds if the
Bonds are initially issued without a rating equivalent to the rating assigned to
other securities supported by a Letter of Credit of the Bank or (ii) to maintain
any rating on the Bonds;

         (i)      to make any change not  materially  adversely  affecting any  
Bondholder's  rights to provide for or to implement the
provisions of a Letter of Credit;

         (j)      to make any change that does not materially adversely affect 
the rights of any Bondholder;

         (k) to add to this Indenture the obligation of the Trustee,  the Issuer
or the Company to disclose such  information  regarding the Bonds, the Facility,
the Issuer,  the Company or the Bank as shall be required or  recommended  to be
disclosed in accordance  with applicable  regulations or guidelines  established
by, among others, the American Bankers Association Corporate Trust Committee; or

         (l)      to provide for the issuance of Additional Bonds under Section

         Section  10.02.  With  Consent of  Bondholders.  If an  amendment of or
supplement to this  Indenture or the Bonds without any consent of Bondholders is
not  permitted by the  preceding  Section,  the Issuer and the Trustee may enter
into such amendment or supplement  without prior notice to any  Bondholders  but
with the consent of the holders of at least a majority  in  principal  amount of
the Bonds then  outstanding.  However,  without the  consent of all  Bondholders
affected,  no  amendment  or  supplement  may (a)  extend  the  maturity  of the
principal of, or interest on, any Bond,  (b) reduce the principal  amount of, or

lien of this Indenture on the property  described in the Granting Clause of this
Indenture or (g) deprive any Bondholder of the lien created by this Indenture on
such property. In addition,  if moneys or U.S. Government  Obligations have been
deposited or set aside with the Trustee  pursuant to Article VII for the payment
of Bonds and those Bonds shall not have in fact been  actually  paid in full, no
amendment to the provisions of that Article shall be made without the consent of
the holder of each of those Bonds affected.

         Section  10.03.  Effect of Consents.  After an amendment or  supplement
becomes  effective,  it shall  bind  every  Bondholder  unless it makes a change
described in any of the lettered clauses of the preceding Section. In such case,
the amendment or supplement  shall bind each  Bondholder who consented to it and
each  subsequent  holder of a Bond or portion of a Bond evidencing the same debt
as the consenting holder's Bond.

         Section  10.04.  Notation on or Exchange of Bonds.  If an  amendment or
supplement  changes the terms of a Bond, the Trustee may request that the holder
deliver  the Bond to it. The Trustee  may place an  appropriate  notation on the
Bond regarding the changed terms and return it to the holder. Alternatively,  if
the Trustee,  the Issuer and the Company  determine,  the Issuer in exchange for
the Bond shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Bond that reflects
the changed  terms.  In either  event,  the cost of placing such notation on the
Bond(s) shall be borne by the Company.

         Section 10.05.  Signing by Trustee of Amendments and  Supplements.  The
Trustee shall sign any  amendment or  supplement to this  Indenture or the Bonds
authorized  by this Article if the  amendment or  supplement  does not adversely
affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does,
the Trustee may, but need not,  sign it. In signing an amendment or  supplement,
the Trustee  shall be entitled to receive and (subject to Section 9.01) shall be
fully  protected in relying on an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment
or supplement is authorized by this Indenture and is duly  authorized,  executed
and delivered and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

         Section  10.06.  Company and Bank  Consent  Required.  An  amendment or
supplement to this Indenture or the Bonds shall not become  effective unless the
Company  and the Bank  deliver to the  Trustee  their  written  consents  to the
amendment or supplement.

         Section 10.07. Notice to Bondholders. The Trustee shall cause notice of
the execution of a supplemental  indenture to be mailed  promptly by first-class
mail to each  Bondholder at the holder's  registered  address.  The notice shall
state briefly the nature of the  supplemental  indenture and that copies thereof
are on file with the Trustee for inspection by all Bondholders.

         Section  10.08.  Opinion of Bond  Counsel  Required.  An  amendment  or
supplement to this Indenture shall not become  effective  unless the Trustee has
received an opinion of Bond Counsel  addressed to the Trustee,  the Bank and the
Company to the  effect  that the  amendment  or  supplement  will not impair the
exclusion  of  interest  on the Bonds  from the gross  income of the  recipients
thereof for purposes of federal income taxation.

                   AMENDMENTS OF AND SUPPLEMENTS TO AGREEMENT

         Section 11.01.  Without  Consent of Bondholders.  The Issuer,  with the
consent of the  Company,  may enter  into,  and the  Trustee may consent to, any
amendment of or supplement to the Agreement or the Note, without prior notice to
or consent of any Bondholder,  if the amendment or supplement is required (a) by
the  provisions of the Agreement or this  Indenture,  (b) to cure any ambiguity,
inconsistency  or formal defect or omission,  (c) to identify more precisely the
Facility,  (d) in connection  with any authorized  amendment of or supplement to
this  Indenture,  or (e) to make any change  comparable  to those  described  in

supplement  to the Agreement or the Note without any consent of  Bondholders  is
not  permitted  by the  foregoing  Section,  the Issuer may enter into,  and the
Trustee may consent to, such amendment or supplement without prior notice to any
Bondholder  but with the  consent  of the  holders  of at  least a  majority  in
principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding.  However, without the consent of
each  Bondholder  affected,  no amendment or  supplement  may result in a change
comparable to those described in the lettered clauses of Section 10.02.

         Section  11.03.  Consent by Trustee to Amendments or  Supplements.  The
Trustee  shall  consent to any  amendment or  supplement to the Agreement or the
Note  authorized  by this  Article  if the  amendment  or  supplement  does  not
adversely affect the rights,  duties,  liabilities or immunities of the Trustee.
If it does,  the Trustee  may,  but need not,  consent to such an  amendment  or
supplement.  In consenting to an amendment or  supplement,  the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive and  (subject to Section  9.01) shall be fully  protected in

         Section 12.02.  Bondholders'  Consents. Any consent or other instrument
required by this Indenture to be signed by  Bondholders  may be in any number of
concurrent  documents and may be signed by a Bondholder or by the holder's agent
appointed  in  writing.  Proof of the  execution  of such  instrument  or of the
instrument  appointing  an agent and of the  ownership of Bonds,  if made in the
following  manner,  shall be conclusive  for any purposes of this Indenture with
regard to any action taken by the Trustee under the instrument:

         (a) The fact and date of a person's signing an instrument may be proved
by the  certificate of any officer in any  jurisdiction  who by law has power to
take  acknowledgments  within  that  jurisdiction  that the person  signing  the
writing  acknowledged  before the officer the execution of the writing, or by an
affidavit of any witness to the signing.

         (b) The fact of ownership of Bonds, the amount or amounts,  numbers and
other  identification  of such Bonds and the date of holding  shall be proved by
the registration books kept pursuant to this Indenture.

         In determining  whether the holders of the required principal amount of
Bonds Outstanding have taken any action under this Indenture, Bonds owned by the
Issuer,  the  Company or any partner or  affiliate  of either  thereof  shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding; provided, however, that Bank Bonds
shall not be disregarded and shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purpose.
In  determining  whether the Trustee  shall be  protected in relying on any such
action, only Bonds that the Trustee knows to be so owned shall be disregarded.

         Section  12.03.  Notices to Rating Agency.  If applicable,  the Trustee
shall notify any Rating Agency rating the Bonds,  in writing,  of the occurrence
of any of the following events prior to the occurrence  thereof:  (a) any change
in the identity of the Trustee;  (b) any amendment or  modification of or change
to this Indenture,  the Agreement,  the Reimbursement Agreement or the Letter of
Credit;  (c) the  expiration  or  termination  of the Letter of  Credit,  or any
extension  thereof;  (d) the payment in full of the principal of and interest on
the Bonds;  and (e) the delivery of any written  opinion of  Bankruptcy  Counsel
required to be delivered under the terms of this Indenture.

         Section 12.04.  Limitation of Rights.  Nothing  expressed or implied in
this  Indenture or the Bonds shall give any person  other than the Trustee,  the
Issuer,  the Bank, the Company and the  Bondholders  any right,  remedy or claim
under or with respect to this Indenture.

         Section 12.05.  Severability.  If any provision of this Indenture shall
be determined to be  unenforceable  by a court of law, that shall not affect any
other  provision of this  Indenture;  provided,  no holding or invalidity  shall
require the Trustee to make any payment  from any source  except  those  pledged
hereunder.

         Section 12.06.  Payments Due on Non-Business Days. If a payment date is
not a Business Day at the place of payment,  then payment  shall be made at that
place on the next succeeding  Business Day, with the same force and effect as if
made on the  payment  date,  and, in the case of any such  payment,  no interest
shall accrue for the intervening period.

         Section  12.07.  Governing Law. This Indenture and the authority of the
Issuer to issue the Bonds shall be governed by and construed in accordance  with
the laws of the State,  but it is the  intention of the Issuer that the situs of
the trust  created by this  Indenture  be in the state in which is  located  the
corporate  trust  office of the  Trustee  from time to time  acting  under  this
Indenture.  The word  "Trustee" as used in the preceding  sentence  shall not be
deemed to include  any  additional  individual  or  institution  appointed  as a
separate or  co-trustee  pursuant to Section 9.15 of this  Indenture.  It is the
further  intention of the Issuer that the Trustee  administer  said trust in the
state in which  it is  located,  from  time to  time,  and that  same be for all
purposes hereunder, the situs of said trust.

         Section  12.08.  No  Liability.  No  provision,  covenant or  agreement
contained in this Indenture or in the Bonds, or any obligation herein or therein
imposed upon the Issuer, or the breach thereof, shall constitute or give rise to
or impose  upon the Issuer a  pecuniary  liability  or a charge upon its general
credit or taxing power. In making the agreements,  provisions, and covenants set
forth in this Indenture, the Issuer has not obligated itself except with respect
to the  Facility  and the  application  of the  revenues,  income  and all other
property  therefrom and the security therefor including the Letter of Credit, as
hereinabove  provided.  No official or member of the Issuer shall be  personally
liable on the  Indenture  or the Bonds,  nor shall the  issuance of the Bonds be
considered as misfeasance in office.

         Section  12.09.  Counterparts.  This Indenture may be signed in several
counterparts,  each of which shall be an original and
all of which together shall constitute the same instrument.

         Section 12.10. References to the Bank. The Bank shall have no rights to
enforce  any  provision  of this  Indenture  during any period in which it is in
default under the Letter of Credit.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer has caused this Indenture to be executed
in its name and on its behalf by the Mayor of the City of Beckley, West Virginia
and its official seal to be impressed hereon and attested by the Recorder of the
City of Beckley,  West Virginia,  and the Trustee, to evidence its acceptance of
the trust hereby  created,  has caused this Indenture to be executed in its name
and on its behalf by its duly  authorized  officers,  all as of the day and year
first above written.
