DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES




Section 8.01     Defaults Defined.




The following shall be “Defaults” under this Agreement and the term “Default” shall mean, whenever it is used in this Agreement, any one or more of the following events:





(a)      Failure by the Company to pay any amount required to be paid under Section 4.02(a) or (d) hereof.





(b)      Failure by the Company to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part to be observed or performed, other than as referred to in Section 8.01(a) hereof, for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied shall have been given to the Company by the Issuer or the Trustee, unless the Issuer and the Trustee shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, the Issuer and the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted by the Company within the applicable period and diligently pursued until such failure is corrected.





(c)      The dissolution or liquidation of the Company, except as authorized by Section 2.02 hereof, or the voluntary initiation by the Company of any proceeding under any federal or state law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, arrangement, reorganization, readjustment of debt or any other form of debtor relief, or the initiation against the Company of any such proceeding which shall remain undismissed for sixty (60) days, or failure by the Company to promptly have discharged any execution, garnishment or attachment of such consequence as would impair the ability of the Company to carry on its operations at the Project, or assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or the entry by the Company into an agreement of composition with its creditors or the failure generally by the Company to pay its debts as they become due.





(d)      The occurrence of a Default under the Indenture.





The provisions of subsection (b) of this Section are subject to the following limitation:  if by reason of force majeure the Company is unable in whole or in part to carry out any of its agreements contained herein (other than its obligations contained in Article IV hereof), the Company shall not be deemed in Default during the continuance of such inability. The term “forcemajeure” as used herein shall mean, without limitation, the following:  acts of God; strikes or other industrial disturbances; acts of public enemies; orders or restraints of any kind of the government of the United States of America or of the State or of any of their departments, agencies or officials, or of any civil or military authority; insurrections; riots; landslides; earthquakes; fires; storms; droughts; floods; explosions; breakage or accident to machinery, transmission pipes or canals; and any other cause or event not reasonably within the control of the Company.  The Company agrees, however, to remedy with all reasonable dispatch the cause or causes preventing the Company from carrying out its agreement, provided that the settlement of strikes and other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within the discretion of the Company and the Company shall not be required to settle strikes, lockouts and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or parties when such course is in the judgment of the Company unfavorable to the Company.




16




Section 8.02     Remedies on Default.




Whenever any Default referred to in Section 8.01 hereof shall have happened and be continuing, the Trustee, or the Issuer with the written consent of the Trustee, may take one or any combination of the following remedial steps:





(a)      If the Trustee has declared the Bonds immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.02 of the Indenture, by written notice to the Company, declare an amount equal to all amounts then due and payable on the Bonds, whether by acceleration of maturity (as provided in the Indenture) or otherwise, to be immediately due and payable as liquidated damages under this Agreement and not as a penalty, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable;





(b)      Have reasonable access to and inspect, examine and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other tax returns of the Company during regular business hours of the Company if reasonably necessary in the opinion of the Trustee; or





(c)      Take whatever action at law or in equity as may appear necessary or desirable to collect the amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under this Agreement.





Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall be paid into the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture.





Section 8.03     No Remedy Exclusive.




Subject to Section 9.02 of the Indenture, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer or the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given under this Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  In order to entitle the Issuer or the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required in this Article.  Such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Owners of the Bonds, subject to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all covenants and agreements herein contained.




Section 8.04     Agreement to Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses.




In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement and the Issuer should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of payments required hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the Issuer the reasonable fee of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by the Issuer.





Section 8.05     No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver.




In the event any agreement contained in this Agreement should be breached by either party and thereafter waived by the other party, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
