give notice by Mail of an adjustment to a different Rate Period or the continuation of a Term Interest Rate Period to the Owners not less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such Rate Period. Such notice shall state (A) that the
interest rate on the Bonds will be adjusted to a different Rate or, in the case of a Term Interest Rate Period, will continue to bear interest at a Term Interest Rate (subject to the Company’s ability to rescind its election as provided in
Section 2.07 hereof), (B) the effective date of such adjustment or continuation, (C) that such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date, (D) the procedures for such mandatory purchase, (E) the purchase
price of such Bonds on such effective date (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof), and (F) that the Owners of such Bonds do not have the right to retain their Bonds on such effective date. 
 (g) Adjustments Subject to Compliance With Credit Facility Agreement. The Bonds shall not be adjusted from one Rate Period to a different Rate
Period unless any applicable conditions precedent to such adjustment specified in the Credit Facility Agreement (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing) have been satisfied. 
 Section 2.03. Daily Interest Rate. During each Daily Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the
Daily Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on each Business Day for such Business Day. The Daily Interest Rate shall be the rate determined by the 

  

 -19- 








 
Remarketing Agent (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded
under then-prevailing market conditions) to be the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof. If the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Daily Interest Rate for any day by 9:30 a.m., New York, New York time, the Daily Interest Rate for such day shall be 100% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. The Remarketing Agent
shall notify the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent of each Daily Interest Rate on the date of the determination thereof by written notice communicated by electronic mail, by facsimile or by other means acceptable to the
Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.04. Weekly Interest Rate.
During each Weekly Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Weekly Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than the first day of such Weekly Interest Rate Period and thereafter no later than Tuesday of each
week during such Weekly Interest Rate Period, unless any such Tuesday shall not be a Business Day, in which event the Weekly Interest Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than the Business Day next preceding such Tuesday. The
Weekly Interest Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market
conditions) to be the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. If the Remarketing Agent
shall not have determined a Weekly Interest Rate for any period, the Weekly Interest Rate shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. The first Weekly Interest Rate determined for each Weekly Interest Rate Period shall apply to the period
commencing on the first day of such Weekly Interest Rate Period and ending on the next succeeding Tuesday. Thereafter, each Weekly Interest Rate shall apply to the period commencing on each Wednesday and ending on the next succeeding Tuesday, unless
such Weekly Interest Rate Period shall end on a day other than Tuesday, in which event the last Weekly Interest Rate for such Weekly Interest Rate Period shall apply to the period commencing on the Wednesday preceding the last day of such Weekly
Interest Rate Period and ending on such last day. The Remarketing Agent shall notify the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent of each Weekly Interest Rate on the date of the determination thereof by written notice communicated by
electronic mail, by facsimile or by other means acceptable to the Company, the Trustee, and the Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.05.
Term Interest Rate. (a) Determination of Term Interest Rate. During each Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Term Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day
selected by the Remarketing Agent, but not more than 60 days prior to and not later than the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period. The Term Interest Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on such date as being the
lowest rate (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market conditions) which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds
on the effective date of such Term Interest Rate Period at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, provided however, that if, for any reason, a Term Interest Rate for 

  

 -20- 








 
any Term Interest Rate Period shall not be determined or become effective, then (A) in the event the then-current Term Interest Rate Period is for one
year or less, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period and (B) in the event the current Term Interest Rate Period is for more than one year, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically
adjust to a Term Interest Rate Period of one year and one day; provided, however, that if the last day of any successive Term Interest Rate Period shall not be a day immediately preceding a Business Day, then such successive Term Interest
Rate Period shall end on the first day immediately preceding the Business Day next succeeding such day or, if such Term Interest Rate Period would end after the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds, the next succeeding Rate Period shall
be a Term Interest Rate Period ending on the day prior to the final maturity date of the Bonds; provided further that in the case of clause (B) above, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to
the end of the then-effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds will adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period. If the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of a Daily Interest Rate Period described in clause (A) above is
not determined as provided in Section 2.03(a) hereof the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of such Daily Interest Rate Period shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. If a Term Interest Rate for any such Term Interest Rate
Period described in clause (B) above is not determined as described in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(a), the Term Interest Rate for such Term Interest Rate Period shall be 110% of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore
published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent, or, if the Remarketing
Agent is the Trustee, determined by the Company, as the most comparable to The Bond Buyer). The Remarketing Agent shall notify the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent of each Term Interest Rate on the date of the
determination thereof by written notice communicated by electronic mail, by facsimile or by other means acceptable to the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent. 
 (b) Automatic Adjustment to Daily Interest Rate Period or Continuation of Term Interest Rate Period. If, by 15 days prior to the end of the
then-current Term Interest Rate Period, the Trustee shall not have received notice of the Company’s election that the Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate, a Weekly Interest Rate, a Term Interest Rate or a Flexible Interest Rate,
(A) in the event the then-current Term Interest Rate Period is for one year or less, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period and (B) in the event the current Term Interest Rate Period is for
more than one year, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Term Interest Rate Period of one year and one day, provided however, that if the last day of any successive Term Interest Rate Period shall not be a day
immediately preceding a Business Day, then such successive Term Interest Rate Period shall end on the first day immediately preceding the Business Day next succeeding such day or, if such Term Interest Rate Period would end after the day prior to
the Maturity Date, the next succeeding Rate Period shall be a Term Interest Rate Period ending on the day prior to the Maturity Date; provided however, that in the case of clause (B) above, if the Company delivers to the Trustee a
Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the end of the then-effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds will adjust to a Daily Interest Rate Period. If the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of a Daily Interest Rate
Period described in clause (A) above is not determined as provided in Section 2.03(a) hereof, the Daily Interest Rate for the first 

  

 -21- 








 
day of such Daily Interest Rate Period shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. If a Term Interest Rate for any such Term Interest Rate
Period described in clause (B) above is not determined as described in the first sentence of this Section 2.05(a), the Term Interest Rate for such Term Interest Rate Period shall be 110% of the most recent One-Year Note Index theretofore
published in The Bond Buyer (or, if The Bond Buyer is no longer published or no longer publishes the One-Year Note Index, the one-year note index contained in the publication determined by the Remarketing Agent, or, if the Remarketing
Agent is the Trustee, determined by the Company, as the most comparable to The Bond Buyer). 
 (c) Successive Term Interest Rate
Periods; Alternate Optional Redemption Provisions. At the same time that the Company elects to have the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate or to continue to bear interest at a Term Interest Rate, the Company may also elect that such
Term Interest Rate Period shall be automatically renewed for successive Term Interest Rate Periods each having the same duration as the Term Interest Rate Period so specified; provided however, that such election must be accompanied by a
Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such continuing automatic renewals of such Term Interest Rate Period. If such election is made, no Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel shall be required in connection with the commencement of each
successive Term Interest Rate Period determined in accordance with such election. Further, at the same time that the Company elects to have the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate or continue to bear interest at a Term Interest Rate, subject
to the provisions of Section 4.02(c) hereof the Company may also specify to the Trustee optional redemption prices and periods different from those set out in Section 4.02 hereof during the Term Interest Rate Period(s) with respect to
which such election is made. 
 (d) Consecutive Term Interest Rate Periods. At the time the Company so elects an adjustment to or
continuation of a Term Interest Rate Period, the Company may specify two or more consecutive Term Interest Rate Periods. 
 Section 2.06. Flexible Interest Rate. (a) Determination of Flexible Segments and Flexible Interest Rates. During each Flexible Interest Rate Period, each Bond shall bear interest during each
Flexible Segment for such Bond at the Flexible Interest Rate for such Bond as described herein. Each Flexible Segment and Flexible Interest Rate for each Bond shall be the Flexible Segment and Flexible Interest Rate determined by the Remarketing
Agent. Each Flexible Segment for any Bond shall be a period of not less than one nor more than 270 days (subject to any limitations set forth in the Remarketing Agreement), determined by the Remarketing Agent to be, in its judgment, the period
which, together with all other Flexible Segments for the Bonds then outstanding, is likely to result in the lowest overall net interest expense on the Bonds; provided however, that (A) any such Bond purchased on behalf of the Company and
remaining unsold in the hands of the Remarketing Agent as of the close of business on the effective date of the Flexible Segment for such Bond shall have a Flexible Segment of one day or, if such Flexible Segment would not end on a day immediately
preceding a Business Day, a Flexible Segment of more than one day ending on the day immediately preceding the next Business Day and (B) each Flexible Segment shall end on a day which immediately precedes a Business Day and no Flexible Segment
shall extend beyond the final maturity date of the Bonds. 
  

 -22- 








 The Flexible Interest Rate for each Flexible Segment for each Bond shall be the rate determined by the
Remarketing Agent (based on an examination of Tax-Exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market conditions) no later than the first day of such Flexible Segment
(and in the case of a Flexible Segment of one day, no later than 12:30 p.m. New York, New York time, on such date) to be the lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price
(without regard to accrued interest) equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. If a Flexible Segment or a Flexible Interest Rate for a Flexible Segment is not determined or effective, the Flexible Segment for such Bond shall be a Flexible
Segment of one day, and the interest rate for such Flexible Segment of one day shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. The Remarketing Agent shall notify the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent of each Flexible
Interest Rate and Flexible Segment on the date of the determination thereof by written notice communicated by electronic mail, by facsimile or by other means acceptable to the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Paying Agent. 
 (b) Special Provisions for an Adjustment From Flexible Interest Rates. If at any time during a Flexible Interest Rate Period, the Company elects,
pursuant to Section 2.02(e) that the Bonds shall no longer bear interest at Flexible Interest Rates and shall instead bear interest as otherwise permitted under this Indenture, the Company shall notify the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent,
the Provider and the Remarketing Agent of such election by Mail and shall instruct the Remarketing Agent to determine Flexible Segments of such duration that, as soon as possible, all Flexible Segments shall end on the same date, not earlier than
the day that would permit the notice required by Sections 2.02(f) to be given, and such date shall be the last day of the then current Flexible Interest Rate Period. Upon the establishment of such Flexible Segments, the day next succeeding the last
day of all such Flexible Segments shall be the effective date of the Rate Period elected by the Company. The Remarketing Agent, promptly upon the determination thereof, shall give written notice of such last day and such effective dates to the
Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Paying Agent. 
 Section 2.07. Rescission of Election.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company may rescind any election by it to adjust to or, in the case of a Term Interest Rate Period, continue a Rate Period pursuant to Section 2.02(e) hereof prior to the effective
date of such adjustment or continuation, by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent prior to such effective date. At the time that the Company gives notice of rescission, it
may also elect in such notice to continue the Rate Period then in effect; provided however, that if the Rate Period then in effect is a Term Interest Rate Period, the subsequent Term Interest Rate Period shall not be of a different duration
than the Term Interest Rate Period then in effect unless the Company provides to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel prior to the expiration of the then-current Term Interest Rate Period. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission
prior to the time the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the Bonds of the change in or continuation of Rate Periods pursuant to Section 2.02(f) hereof, then such notice of change in or continuation of Rate Periods shall be of no force
and effect and shall not be given to the Owners. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the Bonds pursuant to Section 2.02(f) hereof of an adjustment from any Rate Period other than
a Term Interest Rate 

  

 -23- 








 
Period in excess of one year or if an attempted adjustment from one Rate Period (other than a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year) to another
Rate Period does not become effective for any other reason, and if the Company does not elect to continue the Rate Period then in effect, then the Rate Period for the Bonds shall automatically adjust to or continue in a Daily Interest Rate Period
and the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Owners of the Bonds. If the Trustee receives notice of such rescission after the Trustee has given notice to the Owners of the Bonds pursuant to Section 2.02(f) hereof of an adjustment
from a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year to another Rate Period (including a Term Interest Rate Period of a different duration), or if an attempted adjustment from a Term Interest Rate Period in excess of one year to another Rate
Period (including a Term Interest Rate Period of a different duration) does not become effective for any reason and if the Company does not elect to continue the Rate Period then in effect, then the Rate Period for the Bonds shall continue to be a
Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration as the immediately preceding Term Interest Rate Period, subject to the second proviso contained in Section 2.05(a); provided that if the Company delivers to the Trustee a Favorable Opinion
of Bond Counsel prior to the end of the then-effective Term Interest Rate Period, the Rate Period for the Bonds shall be as directed by the Company in writing. If a Daily Interest Rate for the first day of any Daily Interest Rate Period to which a
Rate Period is adjusted under this Section 2.07 is not determined as provided in Section 2.03(a) hereof, the Daily Interest Rate for the first day of such Daily Interest Rate Period shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index.
The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of each such automatic adjustment to a Rate Period pursuant to this Section 2.07 to the Owners in the form provided in Section 2.02(f) hereof. 
 Notwithstanding the rescission by the Company of any notice to adjust to or from or continue a Rate Period, if notice has been given to Owners pursuant
to Section 2.02(f), the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory purchase as specified in such notice. 
 Section 2.08. Form of
Bonds. The Bonds and the certificate of authentication to be executed thereon shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as are permitted or
required by this Indenture. Upon adjustment to a Term Interest Rate Period, the form of Bond may include a summary of the mandatory and optional redemption provisions to apply to the Bonds during such Term Interest Rate Period, or a statement to the
effect that the Bonds will not be optionally redeemed during such Term Interest Rate Period; provided that the Registrar shall not authenticate such a revised Bond form prior to receiving a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel that such Bond
form satisfies the requirements of the Act and of this Indenture and that authentication thereof will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
 Section 2.09. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of its Mayor and attested by the manual or facsimile
signature of the City Clerk. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Registrar for authentication by it. In case any officer who shall have signed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have
been authenticated or delivered by the Registrar or issued by the Issuer, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall be as binding upon the Issuer as though those
who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers of the 

  

 -24- 








 
Issuer. Also, any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as on the actual date of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers
although on the nominal date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer. 
 Only such of the Bonds as shall bear thereon a
certificate of authentication in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, manually executed by an authorized signatory of the Registrar, shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and such
certificate of the Registrar shall be conclusive evidence that the Bonds so authenticated have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and are entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 
 Upon authentication of any Bond, the Registrar shall set forth on such Bond (1) the date of such authentication and (2) in the case of a Bond
bearing interest at a Flexible Interest Rate and not registered in the book-entry system pursuant to Section 2.15 hereof, such Flexible Interest Rate, the last day of the applicable Flexible Segment, the number of days comprising such Flexible
Segment and the amount of interest to accrue during such Flexible Segment. 
 Section 2.10. Transfer and Exchange of
Bonds. Registration of any Bond may, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture, be transferred at the Principal Office of the Registrar, upon the books of the Registrar required to be kept pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2.11 hereof, by the Person in whose name it is registered, in person or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender of such Bond for cancellation, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a form approved by the
Registrar, duly executed. The Registrar shall require the payment by the Owner of the Bond requesting such transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid and there shall be no other charge to any Owners for any such transfer.
Whenever any Bond shall be surrendered for registration of transfer, the Issuer shall execute and the Registrar shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond or Bonds of the same tenor and of Authorized Denominations. Except with respect to Bonds
purchased pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 hereof, no registration of transfer of Bonds shall be required to be made for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the date on which the Trustee Mails any notice of redemption, nor shall
any registration of transfer of Bonds called for redemption be required, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part. 
 Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same tenor and of Authorized Denominations. The Registrar shall require the payment by the Owner of the Bond requesting
such exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange, and there shall be no other charge to any Owners for any such exchange. Except with respect to Bonds purchased pursuant to Section 3.01 and
Section 3.02 hereof, no exchange of Bonds shall be required to be made for a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding the date on which the Trustee provides notice of redemption in accordance with Section 4.05 hereof, nor shall any
exchange of Bonds called for redemption be required, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part. 
 The Issuer, the
Registrar, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Registrar or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name the Bond is registered as the owner thereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes,
whether or not the 

  

 -25- 








 
Bond be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Registrar, the Trustee, any paying agent nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 Section 2.11. Bond Register. The Registrar will keep or cause to be kept at its Principal Office sufficient
books for the registration and the registration of transfer of the Bonds, which shall at all times, during regular business hours, be open to inspection by the Issuer, the Trustee, the Provider, the Remarketing Agent and the Company; and, upon
presentation for such purpose, the Registrar shall under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register the transfer or cause to be registered the transfer, on said books, Bonds as hereinbefore provided. 
 Section 2.12. Bonds Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Issuer, upon the request and
at the expense of the Owner of said Bond, shall execute, and the Registrar shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and number in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Registrar
of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and delivered to the Company. If any Bond issued hereunder shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be
submitted to the Issuer, the Company and the Registrar, and if such evidence shall be satisfactory to them and indemnity satisfactory to them shall be given, the Issuer, at the expense of the Owner, shall execute, and the Registrar shall thereupon
authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond the Registrar may
pay the same without surrender thereof). The Issuer may require payment of a reasonable fee for each new Bond issued under this Section and payment of the expenses which may be incurred by the Issuer and the Registrar. Any Bond issued under the
provisions of this Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the Issuer whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of this Indenture with all other Bonds secured by this Indenture. 
 To the extent permitted by law, the provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen Bonds.

 Section 2.13. Bonds; Limited Obligations. The Bonds, together with premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall
be limited and not general obligations of the Issuer not constituting or giving rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer nor any charge against its general credit or taxing powers nor an indebtedness of or a loan of credit thereof within the
meaning of any provision or limitation of the State Constitution or laws, shall be payable solely from the Revenues and other moneys pledged therefor under this Indenture, and shall be a valid claim of the respective Owners thereof only against the
Bond Fund, the Revenues and other moneys held by the Trustee as part of the Trust Estate. The Issuer shall not be obligated to pay the purchase price of Bonds from any source. 
 THE BONDS SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO
CONSTITUTE A DEBT, LIABILITY OR GENERAL OBLIGATION OF THE ISSUER, THE
STATE OR OF ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, OR A 

  

 -26- 








 
PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE
ISSUER, THE STATE OR OF ANY SUCH POLITICAL SUBDIVISION, BUT SHALL BE
PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE REVENUES AND PROCEEDS PROVIDED THEREFOR. THE ISSUER
SHALL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY THE SAME NOR INTEREST THEREON EXCEPT
FROM THE REVENUES AND PROCEEDS PLEDGED THEREFOR, AND NEITHER THE FAITH
AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE ISSUER, THE STATE OR
OF ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE
PRINCIPAL OF OR THE INTEREST ON THE BONDS. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture, the Bonds, the Agreement or any other related documents, against any past, present or future officer, elected official agent or employee of the Issuer, or any incorporator, officer, director or member of any successor corporation, as
such, either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law or equity, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and all such liability of any such incorporator,
officer, director or member as such is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of any of the Bonds. 
 Section 2.14. Disposal of Bonds. Upon payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest represented thereby or
transfer or exchange pursuant to Section 2.10 hereof or, replacement pursuant to Section 2.12 hereof, any Bond shall be canceled and such Bond shall be disposed of by the Registrar in accordance with its customary procedures and the
Registrar shall provide evidence satisfactory to the Company of such cancellation and disposition. 
 Section 2.15. Book-Entry
System. (a) Unless otherwise determined by the Issuer, the Bonds shall be issued in the form of a single certificated fully-registered Bond, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, or any successor
nominee (the “Nominee”). The actual owners of the Bonds (the “Beneficial Owners”) will not receive physical delivery of Bond certificates except as provided herein. Except as provided in paragraph
(d) below, all of the outstanding Bonds shall be so registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar, and the provisions of this Section shall apply thereto. 
 (b) With respect to Bonds registered on the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of the Nominee, the Issuer, the Company, the Paying
Agent, the Registrar, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or the Beneficial Owners. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent,
the Registrar, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to DTC, any DTC Participant or any Beneficial Owner with respect to (1) the accuracy of the records of DTC, the Nominee or any DTC Participant with
respect to any ownership interest in the Bonds, (2) the delivery by DTC or any DTC Participant of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (3) the payment to any DTC Participant or Beneficial Owner of
any amount with respect to principal or purchase price of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds. The Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent may treat and consider the person in whose name
each Bond is registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar as the owner and 

  

 -27- 








 
absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of principal purchase price, premium and interest with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of giving
notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and premium if any, and
interest on, the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Owners, as shown in the registration books kept by the Registrar, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to
fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than an Owner, as shown in the registration
books kept by the Registrar, shall receive a certificated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Indenture. 
 (c) The Issuer, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee shall execute and deliver to DTC a letter of representations in customary form
with respect to the Bonds in book-entry form (the “DTC Representation Letter”), but such DTC Representation Letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of the foregoing paragraph (b) or in any other way impose upon the
Issuer, the Trustee or the Paying Agent any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having interests in the Bonds other than the Owners, as shown on the registration books kept by the Registrar. The Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the
Paying Agent shall take all action necessary for all representations of the Issuer in the DTC Representation Letter with respect to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent and the Paying Agent to be complied with at all times, including but not limited
to, the giving of all notices required under the DTC Representation Letter. The Trustee and Paying Agent are hereby authorized by the Issuer to enter into the DTC Representation Letter. 
 (d) DTC may determine to discontinue providing its services with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the
Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law. The Issuer, with the consent of the Company, may terminate the services of DTC with respect to the Bonds. Upon the discontinuance or termination of the services
of DTC with respect to the Bonds, unless a substitute securities depository is appointed to undertake the functions of DTC hereunder, the Issuer, at the expense of the Company, is obligated to deliver Bond certificates to the Beneficial Owners of
such Bonds, as described in this Indenture, and such Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of the Nominee, but may be registered in whatever name or names Owners
transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 
 (e) Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Bond is registered in the name of the Nominee, all payments with respect to principal or purchase price of or, premium if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such
Bond shall be made and given, respectively, in the manner provided in the DTC Representation Letter. Owners shall have no lien or security interest in any rebate or refund paid by DTC to the Paying Agent which arises from the payment by the Paying
Agent of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, the Bonds in immediately available funds to DTC. 
  

 -28- 








 (f) So long as any Bond is held in book-entry form a Beneficial Owner (through its DTC Participant) shall
give notice to the Trustee to elect to have its Bonds purchased, and shall effect delivery of such Bonds by causing such DTC Participant to transfer its interest in the Bonds equal to such Beneficial Owner’s interest on the records of DTC to
the Trustee’s participant account with DTC. The requirement for physical delivery of the Bonds in connection with any purchase pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 hereof shall be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the
Bonds are transferred by DTC Participants on the records of DTC to the Trustee’s participant account. 
 Section 2.16. Credit
Facility Provisions. So long as the Credit Facility shall be in effect, the Trustee, Registrar and Paying Agent shall observe the following provisions respecting the Credit Facility: 
 (a) During such time as a Credit Facility is in effect, the Trustee shall draw upon the Credit Facility in accordance with its terms in an
amount which, together with moneys referred to in Section 6.03(c)(i) and 6.03(d)(i) hereof, will be sufficient, together with any moneys then on deposit in the Credit Facility Fund, to pay, on any Bond Payment Date, principal of and interest on
the Bonds. The Trustee shall draw moneys under the Credit Facility in accordance with Section 3.06(c) hereof and in accordance with its terms to ensure timely payment thereof to the extent necessary to pay to the Trustee the purchase price of
Bonds delivered or deemed to be delivered to the Trustee in accordance with Sections 3.01 or 3.02 hereof. In no event shall the Trustee draw upon the Credit Facility to make any payment of principal or purchase price of or interest on Pledged
Bonds or Bonds held of record by or, to the extent that the Company notified a Responsible Officer of the Trustee in writing of such ownership, on behalf of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Company. 
 Immediately following a drawing under the Credit Facility and not as a condition to such drawing, the Trustee shall give telephonic,
electronic mail or facsimile notice to the Company that such a drawing under the Credit Facility was made. 
 (b) If at any
time there shall cease to be any Bonds Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall promptly surrender the Credit Facility then in effect to the Provider thereof in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Indenture for cancellation. Following a
Change of Credit Facility, the Trustee shall promptly after such Change surrender the Credit Facility which has been changed to the Provider thereof, in accordance with the terms thereof and of this Indenture, for cancellation; provided, however,
that the Trustee shall only surrender such Credit Facility after all draws on such Credit Facility pursuant to Section 3.02(c) hereof have been honored by the Provider thereof. 
 (c) In the event Bonds are to be purchased pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iii) hereof due to a Change of Credit Facility, the notice of
mandatory purchase shall be given by the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.08 hereof. If, prior to the fifth day next preceding the date fixed for a mandatory purchase pursuant to Section 3.02(a)(iii) hereof, subsequent to the giving of
such notice pursuant to Section 3.08 hereof, the term of the existing Credit Facility shall have been extended or the Company notifies the Trustee that 

  

 -29- 








 
the delivery of an alternate Credit Facility or the termination of the then existing Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Agreement shall not
occur, then the Trustee shall give notice of such extension of the term of the existing Credit Facility or that the delivery of an alternate Credit Facility or the termination of the then existing Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.07 of the
Agreement shall not occur, which notice shall specify (w) that the notice of a Change of Credit Facility has been given, (x) that subsequent to the giving of such notice the term of the existing Credit Facility has been extended or the
Company has notified the Trustee that delivery of an alternate Credit Facility or the termination of the existing Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Agreement shall not occur, (y) the date that the term of the Credit Facility
will expire and (z) that the mandatory purchase for which notice was given will not occur. Such notice that the term of the Credit Facility has been extended or that the Company has notified the Trustee that delivery of an alternate Credit
Facility or the termination of the then existing Credit Facility pursuant to Section 4.07 of the Agreement shall not occur, shall be given by the Trustee by Mail to the Owners of the Bonds not more than five days following such extension or the
receipt by the Trustee of such notice from the Company. 
 (d) The Trustee shall not sell, assign or otherwise transfer the
Credit Facility or any interest in the Revenues except to a successor Trustee hereunder and in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility or the Agreement, as the case may be. 
 (e) While a book-entry system is in effect for the Bonds, the Trustee shall give written notice of a Change of Credit Facility to DTC at
least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of the Change of Credit Facility. In the event that notice cannot be given within such twenty-day period, the Trustee shall provide such notice as soon as practicable. 
 (f) If the Credit Facility then in effect shall be an insurance policy, in addition to those rights granted the Provider under this
Indenture, the Provider shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility, and to evidence such
subrogation (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the Registrar shall note the Provider’s rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Registrar upon receipt from the Provider of
proof of the payment of interest thereon to the Owners, and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Registrar shall note the Provider’s rights as subrogee on the registration books of the Issuer maintained
by the Registrar upon surrender of the Bonds by the Owners thereof, together with proof of the payment of principal thereof. 
 Section 2.17. CUSIP Numbers. The Issuer in issuing the Bonds may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Owners; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed
only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by 

  

 -30- 








 
any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Issuer or the Company will promptly notify the Trustee and the Registrar of any change in any CUSIP number(s).

 Neither the Issuer, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any
Bond, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any such document may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and that neither the Issuer, the Registrar
nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracy in such matters.

shall have been delivered to the Trustee, and the former Owner of such Bonds shall have no claim under this Indenture or otherwise, for any amount due with
respect to such Bonds other than the purchase price thereof. 
 Section 3.04. Remarketing of Bonds by Remarketing
Agent. (a) Whenever any Bonds are subject to purchase pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof, the Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and use its best efforts to remarket such Bonds to be so purchased, any
such remarketing to be made at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the purchase date. The Company may, with the consent of the Provider, direct the Remarketing Agent from time to time to cease and
to resume sales efforts with respect to some of or all of the Bonds. 
 (b) The Remarketing Agent shall continue its efforts to remarket any
Pledged Bonds without the Provider having tendered such Bonds, and any failure to timely pay principal of and interest on such Pledged Bonds to the Provider shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder. Upon the remarketing of Pledged Bonds,
the Remarketing Agent shall immediately provide telephonic notice, promptly confirmed in writing, of such remarketing to the Company and the Provider and electronic mail or facsimile notice to the Trustee, specifying in said notice the aggregate
principal amount, the purchase price (which shall include any accrued interest), the purchase date and the purchaser thereof, and thereupon the Trustee or the Provider, whichever has possession of such Bonds, shall, subject to

purchased pursuant to Sections 3.01 and 3.02 hereof from the date notice is given of redemption pursuant to Sections 4.02 and 4.03 hereof through the date of such redemption shall not be remarketed unless the Person buying such Bonds has
been given notice in writing by the Trustee that such Bonds are to be redeemed. Furthermore, in addition to the requirements of the preceding sentence, if the Bonds are subject to redemption pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof, the Person buying
such Bonds shall also be given notice in writing by the Trustee that a Determination of Taxability has occurred and that such Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof.

 Section 3.09. Pledged Bonds. If a beneficial interest in a Bond is purchased with moneys drawn under the Credit Facility pursuant to
the provisions hereof, that beneficial interest shall be designated on the books of the Remarketing Agent as a Pledged Bond until released as herein provided. Provided there is no Event of Default under this Indenture, the Remarketing Agent
shall use its best efforts to remarket beneficial interests in Pledged Bonds. If the Remarketing Agent remarkets any beneficial interest in a Pledged Bond, the Remarketing Agent shall give notice by electronic mail or facsimile to the Provider of
such remarketing, and shall direct the purchaser of such beneficial interest to transfer, by 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the purchase date, the purchase price of such remarketed beneficial interest to the Trustee for deposit into the

request the Provider promptly advise the Trustee and the Company of amounts that remain due and owing to the Provider pursuant to the Credit Facility Agreement as a result of a draw on the Credit Facility. Upon receipt by the Trustee of such
purchase price and written notice (which may be given by electronic mail or facsimile) from the Provider of the reinstatement of the Credit Facility, such Pledged Bond shall be considered released from the pledge to the Provider. The Trustee shall
immediately transfer such purchase price to the Provider upon receipt thereof to the extent that amounts remain due and owing the Provider pursuant to the Credit Facility Agreement as a result of a draw on the Credit Facility and give all required
notices, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. If moneys remain on deposit with the Trustee in the Custody Account after payment is made to the Provider of all amounts due and owing to the Provider in accordance with the preceding
sentence, such moneys shall be paid to, or upon the order of, the Company. 
 If the Bonds are no longer held in a book-entry only system and
a Bond is purchased with moneys drawn under the Credit Facility, hereunder, that Bond shall be delivered to and held by the Trustee in the Custody Account. Any Bond so delivered to the Trustee shall be registered in the name of the Company, or, at
the request of the Provider, in the name of the Provider or its nominee, and shall thereafter constitute a Pledged Bond until released as herein provided. Provided there is no Event of Default under this Indenture, the Remarketing Agent shall use
its best efforts to remarket Pledged Bonds. If the Remarketing Agent remarkets any Pledged Bond, the Remarketing Agent shall give notice by electronic mail or facsimile to the Provider of such remarketing and shall direct the purchaser of such
Pledged Bond to transfer, by 12:00 noon, New York, New York time, on the purchase date, the purchase price of such remarketed Pledged Bond to the Trustee for deposit into the Custody Account. The Trustee shall immediately give notice by electronic
mail or facsimile to the Provider of the receipt of the purchase price for such Pledged Bond, which notice shall also request the Provider promptly advise the Trustee and the Company of amounts that remain due and owing to the Provider pursuant to
the Credit Facility Agreement as a result of a draw on the Credit Facility. Upon receipt by the Trustee of such purchase price and written notice (which may be given by electronic mail or facsimile) from the Provider that the Credit Facility has
been reinstated, such Pledged Bond shall be considered 

  

 -39- 








 
released from the pledge of the Provider. The Trustee shall transfer such purchase price to the Provider upon receipt thereof to the extent that amounts
remain due and owing to the Provider pursuant to the Credit Facility Agreement as a result of a draw on the Credit Facility and give all required notices, in accordance with the terms of the Credit Facility. If moneys remain on deposit with the
Trustee in the Custody Account after payment is made to the Provider of all amounts due and owing to the Provider in accordance with the preceding sentence, such moneys shall be paid to, or upon the order of, the Company. The Trustee shall deliver
the remarketed Pledged Bonds to the purchasers thereof in accordance with Section 3.06(a)(i) hereof. 
 To the extent amounts are due
and owing to the Provider under the Credit Facility Agreement, the proceeds of the remarketing of Pledged Bonds (or beneficial interests therein) shall be deposited into the Custody Account and held by the Trustee for the account of, and solely for,
the Provider, shall not be commingled with any other moneys held by the Trustee, as appropriate, and shall be paid over immediately to the Provider. 
 On each Interest Payment Date prior to the release of Pledged Bonds (or beneficial interests therein) held by the Remarketing Agent or by the Trustee, the Trustee shall (i) if the Bonds are held in a book-entry
only system, cause the Remarketing Agent to notify DTC that the Remarketing Agent has waived payment on such Interest Payment Date with respect to such Pledged Bonds, and that the Trustee shall be paying the Provider with respect thereto directly
from the Bond Fund, and (ii) whether or not the Bonds are held in a book-entry only system, apply moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund to the payment of the principal of and interest on such Pledged Bonds through direct transfer thereof to the
Provider (receipt of which payment shall promptly be acknowledged by the Provider by notice by electronic mail of facsimile to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent). Under no circumstances shall the Trustee either (i) draw on the Credit
Facility or use moneys in the Credit Facility Fund for purposes of making any payment with respect to Pledged Bonds, or (ii) apply moneys on deposit in the Bond Fund for transfer to DTC in payment of any Pledged Bond. 
 It is recognized and agreed by the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee that each Pledged Bond (or beneficial interest therein) is held for the benefit of
the Provider pursuant to the terms of the Credit Facility Agreement. 
 If any Bonds constitute Pledged Bonds due to a failure in remarketing
such Bonds on a mandatory tender date, the Remarketing Agent shall be entitled to determine a new Daily Interest Rate, Weekly Interest Rate or Flexible Interest Rate with respect to such Bonds, as appropriate (under the conditions and subject to the
limitations provided above), effective on such date as the Remarketing Agent is able to remarket such Pledged Bonds in whole. Such new rate with respect to such Bonds shall be established by the Remarketing Agent in its sole judgment having due
regard for prevailing financial market conditions at the lowest rate which will permit the Pledged Bonds to be sold at a price of par plus accrued interest to such delivery date. The determination of a new Daily Interest Rate, Weekly Interest Rate
or Flexible Interest Rate with respect to such Bonds, as appropriate, by the Remarketing Agent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Provider and the Owners of the Bonds.

 ARTICLE IV 
 REDEMPTION OF BONDS 
 Section 4.01. Redemption of Bonds Generally. (a) The Bonds are subject to redemption if and to the extent the Company is entitled or required to make and makes a prepayment pursuant to Article VIII of the
Agreement. Except as specifically provided in Section 4.03 hereof, the Trustee shall not give notice of any redemption under Section 4.05 hereof unless the Company has so directed in accordance with Section 8.01 of the Agreement;
provided that the Trustee may require prepayment of Loan Payments under Section 4.01 of the Agreement in the case of mandatory redemption. 
 Section 4.02. Redemption Upon Optional Prepayment. (a) The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole or in part, and if in part by lot, at any time at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date, upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Company stating that any of the following events has occurred and that the Company therefore intends to exercise its
option to prepay the payments due under the Agreement in whole or in part pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Agreement and thereby effect the redemption of Bonds in whole or in part to the extent of such prepayments: 
 (i) the Company shall have determined or concurred in a determination that the continued operation of the Plant is impracticable,
uneconomical or undesirable for any reason; or 
 (ii) all or substantially all of the Plant shall have been condemned or
taken by eminent domain; 
 (iii) the operation of the Plant shall have been enjoined or shall have otherwise been prohibited
by, or shall conflict with, any order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or of any federal, state or local regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body; 
 (iv) unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall have been imposed upon the Company in respect of all or a part of the Pollution
Control Facilities or the Plant including, without limitation, federal, state or other ad valorem, property, income or other taxes not being imposed on the date of the Agreement, as well as any statute or regulation enacted or promulgated after the
date of the Agreement that prevents the Company from deducting interest in respect of the Agreement for federal income tax purposes; or 
 (v) all or substantially all of the Project shall be transferred or sold to any entity other than an affiliate of the Company. 
 (b) The Bonds shall be subject to redemption in whole, or in part by lot, prior to their maturity, following receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee of a written notice from the Company 

  

 -41- 








 
pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Agreement and upon prepayment of the Loan Payments at the option of the Company, as follows: 
 (i) While the Bonds bear interest at a Flexible Interest Rate or Rates, each Bond shall be subject to such redemption on the day next
succeeding the last day of each Flexible Segment for such Bond at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. 
 (ii) While the Bonds bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate or a Weekly Interest Rate, the Bonds shall be, with the consent of the
Provider, subject to such redemption on any Business Day at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. 
 (iii) While the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate, the Bonds shall be subject to such redemption (1) on the day next
succeeding the last day of each Term Interest Rate Period at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and (2) either (A) on the redemption dates and
at the redemption prices specified by the Company pursuant to Section 4.02(c) hereof or (B) during the redemption periods specified below, in each case in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal
amount) hereinafter indicated plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date: 
  

			
	 LENGTH OF
TERM
 INTEREST RATE PERIOD
	  	 REDEMPTION DATES AND
PRICES

	Greater than or equal to 11 years	  	At any time on or after the first day of the calendar month following the tenth anniversary of the effective date at 102% declining 1% annually to 100%
		
	Less than 11 years	  	Not redeemable

 (c) With respect to any Term Interest Rate Period, the Company may specify, pursuant to
Section 2.05(c), redemption provisions, prices and periods other than those set forth above; provided however, at the time of such specification, the Company shall provide Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such changes in
redemption dates and prices. 
 Section 4.03. Redemption Upon Mandatory Prepayment. The Bonds shall be subject to
mandatory redemption in whole on any date from amounts which are to be prepaid by the Company under Section 8.03 of the Agreement, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued, if any, to the
redemption date within one hundred eighty (180) days following a Determination of Taxability; provided that if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the redemption of a specified portion of the Bonds outstanding would
have the result that interest payable on the Bonds remaining outstanding after such redemption would remain Tax-Exempt, then the Bonds shall be redeemed in part by lot (in 

  

 -42- 








 
Authorized Denominations), in such amount as Bond Counsel in such opinion shall have determined is necessary to accomplish that result. 
 Section 4.04. Selection of Bonds for Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for redemption the Trustee shall
select the Bonds or any given portion thereof to be redeemed, from the outstanding Bonds or such given portion thereof not previously called for redemption, by lot. For the purpose of any such selection the Trustee shall (to the extent practicable)
assign a separate number for each minimum Authorized Denomination of each Bond of a denomination of more than such minimum; provided that, following any such selection, both the portion of such Bond to be redeemed and the portion remaining
shall be in Authorized Denominations. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Company in writing of the numbers of the Bonds or portions thereof so selected for redemption. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Pledged Bonds shall
be redeemed prior to any other Bonds. 
 Section 4.05. Notice of Redemption. (a) The Trustee, for and on
behalf of the Issuer, shall give notice of the redemption of any Bond by Mail, postage prepaid, not less than fifteen (15) nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date, to the Owner of such Bond at the address shown on the
registration books of the Registrar on the date such notice is mailed and to the Remarketing Agent, any Provider, Moody’s, S&P, the Securities Depositories, one or more of the Information Services and the Company Mortgage Trustee;
provided, however, that failure to duly give notice by Mail to any Owner shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of Bonds in respect of which no such failure has occurred. While the Bonds are held by DTC as Owner
of the Bonds, notice of redemption shall be given to DTC in accordance with the DTC Representation Letter or in accordance with the requirements of DTC instead of being given by Mail. Notice of redemption to the Securities Depositories and the
Information Services shall be given by registered mail. Each notice of redemption shall state the date of such notice, the date of issue of the Bonds to be redeemed, the redemption date, the redemption price, the place of redemption (including the
name and appropriate address or addresses of the Paying Agent), the source of the funds to be used for such redemption, the principal amount, the CUSIP number (if any) of the maturity and, if less than all, the distinctive certificate numbers of the
Bonds to be redeemed and, in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Each such notice shall also state that the interest on the Bonds designated for redemption shall
cease to accrue from and after such redemption date and that on said date there will become due and payable on each of said Bonds the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, interest accrued thereon, if any, to the redemption date and the premium,
if any, thereon (such premium to be specified) and shall require that such Bonds be then surrendered at the address or addresses of the Paying Agent specified in the redemption notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, failure by the Trustee to give
notice pursuant to this Section 4.05 to the Company Mortgage Trustee or to any one or more of the Information Services or Securities Depositories or the insufficiency of any such notices shall not affect the sufficiency of the proceedings for
redemption. Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Bond or to the Company Mortgage Trustee shall not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Bonds in respect of which no such failure has occurred.

 (b) With respect to any notice of optional redemption of Bonds in accordance with Section 4.02 hereof, unless, upon the giving of
such notice, such Bonds shall be deemed to have 

  

 -43- 








 
been paid within the meaning of Article VIII hereof, such notice may state that such redemption is conditioned upon the receipt by the Trustee, on or prior
to the date fixed for such redemption, of Available Moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds to be redeemed. In the event such Available Moneys are (i) not so received, (ii) no longer
sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds or (iii) no longer considered Available Moneys, in each case, on the redemption date; the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a
reasonable time thereafter give notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such redemption will not take place. 
 (c) The Trustee shall also provide the notice with respect to the Bonds to be redeemed as required by Section 3.05(a) hereof. 
 Section 4.06. Partial Redemption of Bonds. Upon surrender of any Bond redeemed in part only, the Registrar shall exchange the Bond redeemed for a new Bond of like tenor and in an Authorized Denomination without
charge to the Owner in the principal amount of the portion of the Bond not redeemed. In the event of any partial redemption of a Bond which is registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC may elect to make a notation on the Bond certificate
which reflects the date and amount of the reduction in the principal amount of said Bond in lieu of surrendering the Bond certificate to the Registrar for exchange. The Issuer, the Company and the Trustee shall be fully released and discharged from
all liability to the extent of payment of the redemption price for such partial redemption. 
 Section 4.07. No Partial Redemption
After Default. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in Section 9.0l(d) hereof) of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, there shall be no redemption of less than all of the Bonds at the time Outstanding. 
 Section 4.08. Payment of Redemption Price. For the redemption of any of the Bonds, the Issuer shall cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund, solely out of the Revenues and any other moneys constituting the Trust
Estate, and which if the redemption is being made pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, constitute Available Moneys, an amount sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest to become due on, the Bonds called for redemption on
the date fixed for such redemption; provided, however, that if the redemption is being made pursuant to Section 4.03 hereof and a Credit Facility is in effect and such Credit Facility consists of a direct pay letter of credit, then the
deposit to the Bond Fund shall consist solely of amounts drawn under such letter of credit. The obligation of the Issuer to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Bond Fund or any fund in Article
VIII hereof available for and used on such redemption date for payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and accrued interest on, the Bonds to be redeemed. The Trustee shall apply amounts as and when required available therefor in the Bond
Fund or Credit Facility Fund to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds. 
 Section 4.09. Effect of
Redemption. Notice of redemption having been duly given as aforesaid, and moneys for payment of the redemption price being held by the Trustee if such redemption was conditioned thereon, the Bonds so called for redemption shall, on
the redemption 

  

 -44- 








 
date designated in such notice, become due and payable at the redemption price specified in such notice, interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall
cease to accrue, said Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Owners of said Bonds shall have no rights in respect thereof except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof, without
interest accrued on any funds held to pay such redemption price accruing after the date of redemption. 
 All Bonds fully redeemed pursuant
to the provisions of this Article IV shall be canceled upon surrender thereof to the Paying Agent, which shall upon the written request of the Issuer, deliver to the Company a certificate evidencing such cancellation. 
 ARTICLE V 
 GENERAL COVENANTS; CREDIT FACILITY; AND 
 ADDITIONAL COLLATERAL 
 Section 5.01. Payment of Bonds. (a) The
Issuer covenants that it will promptly pay or cause to be paid the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, every Bond issued under this Indenture at the place, on the dates and in the manner provided herein and in the Bonds, provided
that the principal, premium if any, and interest are payable by the Issuer solely from the Revenues, and nothing in the Bonds or this Indenture shall be considered as assigning or pledging any other funds or assets of the Issuer other than the
Trust Estate. 
 (b) Each and every covenant made herein by the Issuer is predicated upon the condition that the Issuer shall not in any
event be liable for the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, or for the payment of the purchase price of the Bonds, or the performance of any pledge, mortgage, obligation or agreement created by or arising under
this Indenture or the Bonds from any property other than the Trust Estate; and, further, that neither the Bonds nor any such obligation or agreement of the Issuer shall be construed to constitute an indebtedness or a lending of credit of the Issuer
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision whatsoever, or constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing power. 
 (c) For the payment of interest on the Bonds, the Issuer shall cause to be deposited in the Interest Account or the Credit Facility Fund on or prior to
each Interest Payment Date, solely out of Revenues and other moneys pledged therefor, an amount sufficient to pay the interest to become due on such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that the obligation of the Issuer to cause any such
deposit to be made hereunder shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Interest Account available on the Interest Payment Date for the payment of the interest on the Bonds. 
 (d) For payment of the principal of the Bonds upon redemption, maturity or acceleration of maturity, the Issuer shall cause to be deposited in the
Principal Account or the Credit Facility Fund, on or prior to the redemption date or the maturity date (whether accelerated or not) of the Bonds, solely out of Revenues and other moneys pledged therefor, an amount 

  

 -45- 








 
sufficient to pay the principal of the Bonds; provided, however, that the obligation of the Issuer to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder
shall be reduced by the amount of moneys in the Principal Account available on the redemption date or the maturity date (whether accelerated or not) for the payment of the principal of the Bonds; and provided, further, that the obligation of
the Issuer to cause any such deposit to be made hereunder shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent of the corresponding payment made by the Provider to the Trustee under the Credit Facility (unless the Credit Facility shall be an
insurance policy, in which case such obligation of the Issuer shall not be deemed to be satisfied and discharged). 
 Section 5.02. Performance of Covenants by Issuer; Authority; Due Execution. The Issuer covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions
contained in this Indenture, in any and every Bond executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder and in all of its proceedings pertaining thereto. The Issuer represents that it is duly authorized under the Constitution and laws of the State to
issue the Bonds and to execute this Indenture, to execute and deliver the Agreement, to assign the Agreement and amounts payable thereunder, and to pledge the amounts hereby pledged in the manner and to the extent herein set forth. The Issuer
further represents that all action on its part for the issuance of the Bonds and the execution and delivery of this Indenture has been duly and effectively taken, and that the Bonds in the hands of the Owners thereof are and will be valid and
binding limited obligations of the Issuer. 
 The Issuer shall fully cooperate with the Trustee and with the Owners of the Bonds to the end
of fully protecting the rights and security of the Owners of any Bonds. 
 The Issuer represents that it now has, and covenants that it shall
use its best efforts to maintain, complete and lawful authority and privilege to enter into and perform its obligations under this Indenture and the Agreement, and covenants that it will at all times use its best efforts to maintain its existence or
provide for the assumption of its obligations under this Indenture and the Agreement. 
 Except to the extent otherwise provided in this
Indenture, the Issuer shall not enter into any contract or take any action by which the rights of the Trustee or the Owners of the Bonds may be impaired and shall, from time to time, execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further
action as may be reasonably required to carry out the purposes of this Indenture. 
 Section 5.03. Immunities and Limitations of
Responsibility of Issuer; Remedies. Without limiting the obligation of the Issuer to perform its covenants and obligations hereunder: 
 (a) The Issuer shall be entitled to the advice of counsel and shall be wholly protected as to action taken or omitted in good faith in reliance on such advice. 
 (b) The Issuer may rely conclusively on any communication or other document furnished to it hereunder and reasonably believed by it to be
genuine. 
 (c) The Issuer shall not be liable for any action: 
  

 -46- 








 (i) taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within its discretion
or powers hereunder, or 
 (ii) in good faith omitted to be taken by it because such action was reasonably believed to be
beyond its discretion or powers hereunder, or 
 (iii) taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is
governed hereunder, or 
 (iv) omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of any direction or instruction required
hereby for such action; nor shall it be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment made by it in good faith. 
 (d) The Issuer shall in no event be liable for the application or misapplication of funds or for other acts or defaults by any person, except its own officers and employees. 
 (e) When any payment or consent or other action by it is called for hereby, it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence (if
any) as it may require in support thereof. 
 (f) The Issuer shall not be required to take any remedial action (other than the
giving of notice) unless reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it is furnished for any expense or liability to be incurred thereby. 
 (g) As provided herein and in the Agreement, the Issuer shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for its expenses reasonably incurred or advances reasonably made, with interest at a rate per annum equal to the rate of interest
then in effect and as published in the Wall Street Journal as the composite prime lending rate for domestic commercial loans, in the exercise of its rights or the performance of its obligations hereunder, to the extent that it acts without
previously obtaining indemnity. 
 (h) No permissive right or power to act which it may have shall be construed as a
requirement to act, and no delay in the exercise of a right or power shall affect its subsequent exercise of that right or power. 
 Section 5.04. Defense of Issuer’s Rights. The Issuer agrees that the Trustee may defend the Issuer’s rights to the payments and other amounts due under the Agreement, for the benefit of the Owners of the
Bonds, against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. The Issuer covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such indentures supplemental hereto and such further
acts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, transferring, pledging, assigning and confirming to the Trustee all and singular the rights assigned hereby and the amounts pledged hereby to the payment
of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds. The Issuer covenants and agrees that, except as 

  

 -47- 








 
herein and in the Agreement provided, it will not sell, convey, assign, pledge, encumber or otherwise dispose of any part of the Trust Estate. 
 Section 5.05. Recording and Filing; Further Instruments. (a) The Issuer and the Trustee shall cooperate with the Company
in the Company’s filing and recording of all documents, notices and financing statements related to this Indenture and to the Agreement which are necessary, as required by law, in order to perfect the lien of this Indenture in the Trust Estate.
Concurrently with the execution and delivery of the Bonds and in accordance with the requirements of Section 5.04 of the Agreement, the Company shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of counsel (i) stating that, in the
opinion of such counsel either (A) such action has been taken, as set forth therein, with respect to the recording and filing of such documents, notices and financing statements as is necessary to perfect the lien of this Indenture in the Trust
Estate, or (B) no such action is necessary to perfect such lien, and (ii) stating the requirements for the filing of continuation statements or other documentation or notices in order to maintain the perfection of the lien of this
Indenture in the Trust Estate. 
 (b) The Issuer shall upon the reasonable request of the Trustee (which request the Trustee is not required
to make), from time to time execute and deliver such further instruments and take such further action as may be reasonable (and consistent with the Bond Documents) and as may be required to effectuate the purposes of this Indenture or any provisions
hereof, provided however, that no such instruments or actions shall pledge the general credit or the full faith of the Issuer. 
 Section 5.06. Rights Under Agreement. The Agreement, a duly executed counterpart, of which has been filed with the Trustee, sets forth the covenants and obligations of the Issuer and the Company, including
provisions that, subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds and prior to the payment in full or provision for payment thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Agreement (except as expressly provided therein) may not be effectively amended,
changed, modified, altered or terminated without the concurring written consent of the Trustee, as provided in Article XII hereof, and reference is hereby made to the Agreement for a detailed statement of such covenants and obligations of the
Company, and the Issuer agrees that the Trustee in its name or (to the extent required by law) in the name of the Issuer may enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Company under and pursuant to the Agreement, whether or not the
Issuer is in default hereunder. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Trustee in enforcing the obligations of the Company to pay or cause to be paid all amounts payable by the Company under the Agreement. 
 Section 5.07. Arbitrage and Tax Covenants. The Issuer will not take or fail to take any action that would impair the exclusion
of interest on the Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes. The Issuer further will not knowingly act or fail to act so as to cause the proceeds of the Bonds, any moneys derived, directly or indirectly, from the use or investment
thereof and any other moneys on deposit in any fund or account maintained in respect of the Bonds (whether such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds or from other sources) to be used in a manner which would cause the Bonds
to be treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, or which would otherwise adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
  

 -48- 








 Section 5.08. No Disposition of Trust Estate. Except as permitted by this
Indenture, the Issuer shall not sell lease, pledge, assign or otherwise encumber or dispose of its interest in the Trust Estate and will promptly pay (but only from the Revenues) or cause to be discharged, or make adequate provision to discharge,
any lien or charge on any part thereof not permitted hereby. 
 Section 5.09. Access to Books. All books and
documents in the possession of the Issuer relating to the Revenues and the Trust Estate shall at all reasonable times be open to inspection by such accountants or other agencies as the Trustee may from time to time designate. 
 Section 5.10. Source of Payment of Bonds. The Bonds are not general obligations of the Issuer but are limited obligations
payable solely from the Revenues. The Revenues have been pledged and assigned as security for the equal and ratable payment of the Bonds and shall be used for no other purpose than to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the
Bonds, except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in this Indenture or the Agreement. 
 Section 5.11. Credit
Facility. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall take action under the Credit Facility, in accordance with the terms and subject to the coverage thereof, to the extent necessary in order to cause amounts in respect of the principal of,
interest on and, if applicable, the purchase price of the Bonds to be payable by the Provider pursuant to the Credit Facility to the Owners of the Bonds. The Trustee shall not sell, assign, transfer or surrender the Credit Facility except as
described in Section 2.16 hereof and, in the case of First Mortgage Bonds that constitute a Credit Facility, except as described in Section 5.12 hereof. 
 Section 5.12. First Mortgage Bonds. In the event that the Trustee shall hold First Mortgage Bonds, whether delivered as a Credit Facility or as Additional Collateral, the Trustee shall observe the
following provisions respecting the First Mortgage Bonds: 
 (a) No Transfer of First Mortgage Bonds. The Trustee shall
not sell, assign or transfer any First Mortgage Bonds except to a successor trustee under this Indenture. First Mortgage Bonds may be held by and registered in the name of the Trustee’s nominee, for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds,
without violating the provisions of the preceding sentence, provided that such nominee is under the control of the Trustee and that the ability of the Trustee to perform its obligations hereunder will not be adversely affected thereby.

 (b) Voting of First Mortgage Bonds. The Trustee shall, as the holder of any First Mortgage Bonds, attend such
meeting or meetings of bondholders under the Company Mortgage or, at its option, deliver its proxy in connection therewith, as related to matters with respect to which it is entitled to vote or consent. So long as no Event of Default of which a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge shall have occurred and be continuing, either at any such meeting or meetings, or otherwise when the consent of the holders of the first mortgage bonds issued under the Company Mortgage is
sought without a meeting, the Trustee shall vote as the holder of any First Mortgage Bonds, or shall consent with respect thereto proportionately with the vote or consent of the holders of all other first mortgage bonds of the Company then
outstanding 

  

 -49- 








 
under the Company Mortgage, the holders of which are eligible to vote or consent. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding: 
 (i) the proportionate votes or consents of the holders of first mortgage bonds (other than the First Mortgage Bonds) shall be exclusively
evidenced for purposes of this Section 5.12(b) by a Bondholder’s Certificate (as hereinafter defined) delivered to the Trustee; the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to make any other determination of such proportionate votes or
consents or to verify the accuracy of any Bondholder’s Certificate; and the Trustee shall have no duty or obligation to vote or consent with respect to the First Mortgage Bonds unless and until it shall have received a Bondholder’s
Certificate; 
 (ii) the Trustee shall not vote as such holder in favor of, or give its consent to, any amendment or
modification of the Company Mortgage which, if it were an amendment or modification of this Indenture, would not be described in Section 12.01 hereof (and the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on an opinion of counsel to the Company or an
opinion of Bond Counsel as to whether or not such amendment or modification of the Company Mortgage is described in Section 12.01 hereof) without (A) the prior consent and approval, obtained in the manner prescribed in Section 12.02
hereof, of Owners of Bonds which would be required under said Section 12.02 for such an amendment or modification of this Indenture and (B) the consent of the Provider (unless an Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing); and

 (iii) this Section 5.12(b) shall not apply to any vote or consent of bondholders under the Company Mortgage with
respect to any matter if and to the extent that the instrument establishing the First Mortgage Bonds as a series under the Mortgage (and the terms of such series) shall provide that the holder of the First Mortgage Bonds shall be deemed to have
voted or consented with respect to such matter in a manner specified in such instrument. 
 For purposes of this
Section 5.12(b), “Bondholder’s Certificate” means a certificate signed by the temporary chairman, the temporary secretary, the permanent chairman, the permanent secretary, or an inspector of votes at any meeting or
meetings of bondholders under the Company Mortgage, or by the Company Mortgage Trustee in the case of consents of such bondholders which are sought without a meeting, which states what the signer thereof reasonably believes will be the proportionate
votes or consents of the holders of all first mortgage bonds (other than the First Mortgage Bonds) outstanding under the Company Mortgage and counted for the purposes of determining whether such bondholders have approved or consented to the matter
put before them. 
 Any action taken by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Section 5.12(b) shall be
binding upon the Issuer and the Owners of Bonds. 
  

 -50- 








 (c) Surrender of First Mortgage Bonds. The Trustee shall surrender any
First Mortgage Bonds to the Company Mortgage Trustee only in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.07(a), Section 4.09(d) or Section 4.10(b) of the Agreement. 
 (d) Notice to Company Mortgage Trustee. In the event that a payment on any First Mortgage Bonds shall have become due and payable
and shall not have been fully paid, the Trustee shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company Mortgage Trustee signed by its President, a Vice President, a Senior Trust Officer or a Trust Officer, specifying, with respect to principal of such
First Mortgage Bonds, the principal amount of First Mortgage Bonds then due and payable and the amount of funds required to make such payment and, with respect to interest on such First Mortgage Bonds, the last date to which interest has been paid
and the amount of funds required to make such payment. In the event that the Trustee shall have received written notice pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Agreement to the effect that any Bonds are to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.02 or
Section 4.03 hereof, the Trustee shall forthwith give notice thereof to the Company Mortgage Trustee specifying the principal amount, interest rate and redemption date of Bonds so to be redeemed. Any such notice given by the Trustee shall be
signed by its President, a Vice President, an Assistant Vice President or an Assistant Treasurer thereof. The Trustee shall incur no liability for failure to give any such notice, and such failure shall have no effect on the obligations of the
Company on any First Mortgage Bonds or on the rights of the Trustee or of the Owners of Bonds. 
 Section 5.13. Additional
Collateral. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall take action under any Additional Collateral, in accordance with the terms thereof and at the expense of the Company, to the extent necessary in order to cause amounts in respect of the

hereby established with the Trustee to make arbitrage payments as contemplated by the Tax Certificate. The Trustee shall deposit such amounts into the Rebate Fund and pay such amounts from the Rebate Fund as it shall be directed by an Authorized
Company Representative. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for calculating the amount of arbitrage rebate with respect to the Bonds. 
 Section 6.02. Disposition of Bond Proceeds and Certain Other Moneys. In accordance with the direction contained in Section 3.03 of the Agreement, simultaneously with the initial authentication and delivery of
the Bonds: (i) there shall be deposited with the Prior Trustee in the Prior Bond Fund and used for the purpose of the Refunding of the Prior Bonds, an amount equal to $17,000,000, representing the principal proceeds received from the sale of
the Bonds, and (ii) there shall be deposited into the Interest Account the accrued interest on the Bonds, if any, from the Issue Date to the date of the initial authentication and delivery of the Bonds. 
 Section 6.03. Deposits into the Bond Fund; Use of Moneys in the Bond Fund. (a) The Trustee shall deposit into the
Principal Account of the Bond Fund (i) payments made by the Company pursuant to the Agreement in respect of principal of or premium payable on the Bonds, including any payments of principal of and premium, if any, on Additional Collateral,

may be, with other moneys in the Principal Account. 
 (b) The Trustee shall deposit into the Interest Account of the Bond Fund
(i) payments made by the Company pursuant to the Agreement in respect of interest on the Bonds, including any payments of interest on Additional Collateral, (ii) moneys drawn under or paid on the Credit Facility to pay interest on the

 (c) Except as provided in Sections 6.04, 6.05, 9.10 and 10.04 and Article VIII hereof and in the Tax Certificate, moneys in the Principal Account of the Bond Fund shall be used solely for the payment of principal of and premium if any,

 (i)
Available Moneys; 
 (ii) Moneys drawn under the Credit Facility; and 
  

 -52- 








 (iii) Any other moneys paid by the Company pursuant to the Agreement or any other moneys
in the Bond Fund; 
 provided, however, that if the Credit Facility then in effect consists of a direct pay letter of credit, the Trustee shall apply
moneys drawn under the Credit Facility prior to the application of moneys from any other sources. In the event that any principal payment by the Company pursuant to the Agreement is on deposit in the Principal Account on a Bond Payment Date but does
not constitute Available Moneys, or is received by the Trustee subsequent to such Bond Payment Date, and the Trustee has paid principal of the Bonds from the source described in clause (ii) of this paragraph, the Trustee shall, subject to
Section 9.10 hereof, transfer to the Provider on (or as promptly as practicable after) such Bond Payment Date or the date of receipt, if different, the amount of such principal of Bonds paid from such source and not reimbursed to the Provider
under the Credit Facility Agreement as certified in writing to the Trustee and the Company by the Provider. 
 (d) Except as provided in
Sections 6.04, 6.05, 9.10 and 10.04 and Article VIII hereof and in the Tax Certificate, moneys in the Interest Account of the Bond Fund shall be used solely to pay interest on the Bonds when due. The Trustee shall at all times maintain accurate

 (iii) Any other moneys paid by the Company pursuant to the
Agreement or any other moneys in the Bond Fund; 
 provided, however, that if the Credit Facility then in effect consists of a direct pay letter of
credit, the Trustee shall apply moneys drawn under the Credit Facility prior to the application of moneys from any other sources. In the event that any interest payment by the Company pursuant to the Agreement is on deposit in the Interest Account
on a Bond Payment Date but does not constitute Available Moneys, or is received by the Trustee subsequent to such Bond Payment Date, and the Trustee has paid interest on the Bonds from the source described in clause (ii) of this paragraph, the
Trustee shall, subject to Section 9.10 hereof, transfer to the Provider on (or as promptly as practicable after) such Bond Payment Date or the date of receipt, if different, the amount of such interest on Bonds paid from such source and not
reimbursed to the Provider under the Credit Facility Agreement, as certified in writing to the Trustee by the Provider. 
 The Trustee shall
identify appropriate sources of moneys and apply such moneys to pay principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds as and when required by the terms of this Indenture. 
 Section 6.04. Bonds Not Presented for Payment of Principal. In the event any Bonds shall not be presented for payment when the
principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity or at the date fixed for redemption thereof or the acceleration of maturity or in the event that any 

  

 -53- 








 
interest thereon is unclaimed, if moneys sufficient to pay such Bonds or interest are held by the Trustee, the Trustee shall segregate and hold such moneys
in trust (but shall not invest such moneys), without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of Owners of such Bonds who shall except as provided in the following paragraph, thereafter be restricted exclusively to such fund or funds for the
satisfaction of any claim of whatever nature on their part under this Indenture or relating to said Bonds or interest. Such Bonds which shall not have been so presented for payment shall be deemed paid for any purposes of this Indenture. 

Any moneys which the Trustee shall segregate and hold in trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for
two years (subject to applicable escheat laws) after such principal or interest has become due and payable shall be paid by the Trustee to the Company upon request of an Authorized Company Representative to the Trustee, (i) be paid to the
Provider to the extent of the amount, if any, certified in writing by the Provider to the Trustee and the Company to be payable under the Credit Facility Agreement, and (ii) the balance, if any, shall be paid by the Trustee to the Company if
consented to in writing by the Provider. After the payment of such unclaimed moneys to the Company or the Provider, the Owner of such Bond shall look only to the Company for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid to the
Provider and/or the Company, and the Company shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such money, and all liability of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Provider with respect to such moneys shall thereupon
cease. 
 Neither the Company nor the Issuer shall have any right, title or interest in or to any moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section. The Trustee shall not be liable to the Issuer or any Owner for interest on funds held by it for the payment and discharge of the principal, interest, or premium on any of the Bonds to any Owner. 
 Section 6.05. Payment to the Company. After the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate and all
covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to the Owners shall have ceased, terminated and become void and shall have been satisfied and discharged in accordance with Section 6.04 and Article VIII hereof, and all fees, expenses
and other amounts payable to the Registrar, the Paying Agent, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Provider and the Issuer pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or the Credit Facility Agreement shall have been paid, any moneys remaining in
the Bond Fund and the Rebate Fund shall be paid to the Company upon request of an Authorized Company Representative, other than any unclaimed moneys held pursuant to Section 6.04. The Trustee may conclusively rely on certificates of the
Remarketing Agent and the Provider as to the amount of any fees, expenses and other amounts owing to them. 
 ARTICLE VII

 INVESTMENTS 
 Section 7.01. Investment of Moneys in Funds. Subject to Section 5.07 hereof and the provisions of the Tax Certificate, moneys in the Bond Fund and the Rebate Fund may be invested and reinvested in Investment
Securities. Such investments shall be made by the Trustee 

  

 -54- 








 
as specifically directed and designated by the Company in a certificate of an Authorized Company Representative. Each such certificate shall contain a
statement that each investment so designated by the Company constitutes an Investment Security and can be made without violation of any provision hereof or of the Agreement or of the Tax Certificate. The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on each
such certificate or advice and shall incur no liability for making any such investment so designated or for any loss, fee, tax or other charge incurred in selling such investment or for any action taken pursuant to this Section that causes the Bonds
to be treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code. No investment instructions shall be given by the Company if the investments to be made pursuant thereto would violate any covenant set forth in
Section 5.07 hereof or the provisions of the Agreement or the Tax Certificate. The Trustee may act as principal or agent in the acquisition or disposition of investments. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss on any investment made
in accordance herewith. The Trustee shall not invest any cash held by it hereunder in the absence of timely and specific written direction from the Company or the Provider. The Issuer and the Company acknowledge that regulations of the Comptroller
of the Currency grant the right to receive brokerage confirmations of the security transactions as they occur, at no additional cost. To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer and the Company specifically waive compliance with 12 C.F.R. 12 and
hereby notifies the Trustee that no brokerage confirmations need be sent relating to the security transactions as they occur. 
 Moneys in
the Credit Facility Fund, including money provided pursuant to a draw on the Credit Facility to pay the purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 3.02 hereof and proceeds of Remarketed Bonds shall be held uninvested.

 Section 7.02. Conversion of Investment to Cash. As and when any amounts so invested may be needed for
disbursements from the Bond Fund or the Rebate Fund, the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold or otherwise converted into cash to the credit of such fund. As long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Company shall have the right to designate the investments to be sold and to otherwise direct the Trustee in the sale or conversion to cash of such investments (otherwise, the Provider shall have the right to make such designations
and give such directions; provided, that if, at the time there is no Provider or a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall sell or otherwise convert into cash all such investments and hold such cash
uninvested in the applicable fund or funds); provided that the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively assume the absence of any Event of Default unless it has notice thereof within the meaning of Section 10.05 hereof. 
 Section 7.03. Credit for Gains and Charge for Losses. Gains from investments shall be credited to and held in and losses shall
be charged to the fund or account from which the investment is made.

 ARTICLE VIII 
 DEFEASANCE 
 If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid to the
Owner of any Bond secured hereby the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest due and payable, and thereafter to become due and payable, upon such Bond or any portion of such Bond in an Authorized Denomination thereof, such Bond or portion
thereof shall cease to be entitled to any lien, benefit or security under this Indenture. 
 If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid the
principal of, and premium if any, and interest due and payable on, all Outstanding Bonds, and thereafter to become due and payable thereon, and shall pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Issuer, including any necessary and
proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent, then, and in that case, the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the Trust Estate shall thereupon cease,
terminate and become void. In such event, the Trustee shall assign, transfer and turn over the Trust Estate to the Company and any surplus in the Bond Fund and any balance remaining in any other fund created under this Indenture shall be paid to the
Company upon the request of an Authorized Company Representative, other than any unclaimed moneys held pursuant to Sections 3.06(d) and 6.04. The Trustee may conclusively rely on certificates of the Remarketing Agent and the Provider as to the
amount of any fees, expenses and other amounts owing to them. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the principal of and interest due on any Bonds shall be paid by the Provider pursuant to the Credit Facility and the
Provider has not been reimbursed for such payment or arrangements satisfactory to the Provider for such reimbursement have not been made, such Bonds shall remain Outstanding for all purposes, shall not be defeased or otherwise satisfied and shall
not be considered paid by the Issuer, and the assignment and pledge of the Trust Estate and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer to such Owners shall continue to exist and shall run to the benefit of the Provider and the
Provider shall be subrogated to the rights of such Owners. 
 All or any portions of Bonds (in Authorized Denominations) shall, prior to the
maturity or redemption date thereof, be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of this Article VIII and for all purposes of this Indenture when: 
 (a) in the event said Bonds or portions thereof have been selected for redemption in accordance with Section 4.04 hereof, the Trustee shall have given, or the Company shall have given to the Trustee in form
satisfactory to it irrevocable instructions to give, on a date in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.05 hereof, notice of redemption of such Bonds or portions thereof; 
 (b) there shall have been deposited with the Trustee moneys, which constitute Available Moneys or moneys drawn on the Credit Facility, in
an amount sufficient (without relying on any investment income) to pay when due the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest due and to become due (which amount of interest to become 

  

 -56- 








 
due shall be calculated at the Maximum Interest Rate unless the interest rate borne by all of such Bonds is not subject to adjustment prior to the maturity
or redemption thereof, in which case the amount of interest shall be calculated at the rate borne by such Bonds) on said Bonds or portions thereof on and prior to the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be; provided,
however, that if such payment is to be made upon redemption pursuant to Section 4.02 hereof, such payment shall be made from Available Moneys; 
 (c) in the event said Bonds or portions thereof do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding 60 days, the Issuer at the direction of the Company shall have given the Trustee in form satisfactory
to it irrevocable instructions to give, as soon as practicable in the same manner as a notice of redemption is given pursuant to Section 4.05 hereof, a notice to the Owners of said Bonds or portions thereof and to the Provider that the deposit
required by clause (b) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Article VIII and stating the maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be
available for the payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, said Bonds or portions thereof; 
 (d)
the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Provider shall have received written evidence from Moody’s, if the Bonds are then rated by Moody’s, and S&P, if the Bonds are then rated by S&P, that such action will not result in a
reduction, suspension or withdrawal of the rating; and 
 (e) the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, Moody’s, if the Bonds
are then rated by Moody’s, S&P, if the Bonds are then rated by S&P, and the Provider shall have received a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such deposit. 
 In the event the requirements of the next succeeding paragraph can be satisfied, the preceding paragraph shall not apply, and the following two
paragraphs shall be applicable (the final two paragraphs of this Section shall apply in either case). 
 Any Bond shall be deemed to be paid
within the meaning of this Article VIII and for all purposes of this Indenture when: 
 (a) payment of the principal of and
premium if any, on such Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date is by reason of maturity or acceleration or upon redemption as provided herein) either (A) shall have been made or caused to be made in
accordance with the terms thereof or (B) shall have been provided for by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee in trust and irrevocably set aside exclusively for such payment (1) moneys, which shall be Available Moneys or moneys drawn
under the Credit Facility, sufficient to make such payment, and/or (2) Government Obligations purchased with Available Moneys or moneys drawn under the Credit Facility and maturing as to principal and interest in such amount and at such time as
will insure, without reinvestment, the availability of sufficient moneys to make such payment; provided, however, that if such payment is to be made upon redemption pursuant to 

  

 -57- 








 
Section 4.02 hereof, such payment shall be made from Available Moneys or from Government Obligations purchase with Available Moneys; 
 (b) all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Provider, the Paying
Agent and the Registrar pertaining to the Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made shall have been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee, the Trustee being able to conclusively rely on certificates of
the Remarketing Agent and the Provider as to the amount of any fees, compensation and expenses owing to them; and 
 (c) an
opinion of an independent public accountant of nationally recognized standing, selected by the Company, to the effect that such moneys and/or Government Obligations will insure, without reinvestment, the availability of sufficient moneys to make
such payment, and a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel with respect to such deposit shall have been delivered to the Trustee. At such times as a Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond shall no longer be secured by or
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the purposes of registration and exchange of Bonds and of any such payment from such moneys or Government Obligations. 
 The foregoing provisions of this paragraph shall apply only if (x) such Bond is to mature or be called for redemption prior to the next date upon which such Bond is subject to purchase pursuant to
Section 3.01 and 3.02 hereof; and (y) the Company has waived, to the satisfaction of the Trustee, its right to adjust the interest rate borne by such Bond. 
 No deposit under clause (a)(B) of the preceding paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such Bonds as aforesaid until: (i) proper notice of redemption of such Bonds shall have been previously given in accordance
with Section 4.05 hereof, or in the event said Bonds are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding 60 days, until the Company shall have given the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable
instructions to notify, as soon as practicable, the Owners of the Bonds and the Provider in accordance with Section 4.05 hereof, that the deposit required by clause (a)(B) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bonds are deemed to
have been paid in accordance with this Article VIII and stating the maturity or redemption date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the principal of and the applicable redemption premium, if any, on said Bonds, plus interest
thereon to the due date thereof; or (ii) the maturity of such Bonds. 
 Moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article VIII
shall not be withdrawn or used for any purpose other than, and shall be held in trust for, the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on said Bonds or portions thereof, or for the payment of the purchase price of Bonds in
accordance with Section 3.03 hereof; provided that such moneys, if not then needed for such purpose, shall to the extent practicable, be invested and reinvested in Government Obligations maturing on or prior to the earlier of
(i) the date moneys may be required for the purchase of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.03 hereof or (ii) the Interest Payment Date next succeeding the date of investment or reinvestment, and interest earned from such investments shall be
paid over to the Company, as received by the Trustee, free and clear of any 

  

 -58- 








 
trust, lien or pledge. If payment of less than all the Bonds is to be provided for in the manner and with the effect provided in this Article VIII, the
Trustee shall select such Bonds or portion of such Bonds in the manner specified by Section 4.04 hereof for selection for redemption of less than all Bonds in the principal amount designated to the Trustee by the Company. 
 Notwithstanding that all or any portion of the Bonds are deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Article VIII, the provisions of this Indenture
relating to (i) the registration and exchange of Bonds, (ii) the delivery of Bonds to the Trustee for purchase and the related obligations of the Trustee with respect thereto, (iii) replacement of mutilated, lost, destroyed or stolen
Bonds, (iv) payment of the Bonds from the moneys deposited as described in this Article and (v) payment, compensation, reimbursement and indemnification of the Trustee, shall remain in full force and effect with respect to all Bonds until
the Maturity Date or the last date fixed for redemption of all Bonds prior to maturity and, in the case of clause (v), until payment, compensation, reimbursement or indemnification, as the case may be, of the Trustee. 
 ARTICLE IX 
 DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES 
 Section 9.01. Events of
Default. Each of the following events shall constitute and is referred to in this Indenture as an “Event of Default”: 
 (a) a failure to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any of the Bonds when the same shall become due and payable at maturity, upon
redemption or otherwise, subject, however, to Section 3.04(b) hereof; 
 (b) a failure to pay an installment of interest
on any of the Bonds, which failure shall continue for a period of (i) 60 days after the date upon which such interest has become due and payable if the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate, or (ii) two Business Days after the date
upon which such interest has become due and payable if the Bonds bear interest at a Flexible Interest Rate, a Daily Interest Rate or a Weekly Interest Rate, subject, however, to Section 3.04(b) hereof; 
 (c) a failure to pay an amount due in respect of the purchase price of Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01 and Section 3.02 hereof
after such payment has become due and payable; 
 (d) a failure by the Issuer to observe and perform any covenant, condition,
agreement or provision (other than as specified in Section 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b) and Section 9.01(c)) contained in the Bonds or in this Indenture on the part of the Issuer to be observed or performed, which failure shall continue
for a period of 90 days after written notice, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, shall have been given to the Issuer and the Company by the Trustee by registered or certified mail which may give such notice in its discretion
and shall give such notice at the written request of the Owners of not less than 33-1/3% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, 

  

 -59- 








 
unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Owners of a principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal amount of Bonds the Owners of which requested
such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; provided however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Owners of such principal amount of Bonds, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Issuer or the Company on behalf of the Issuer within such period and is being diligently pursued; 
 (e) an “Event of Default” under the Agreement; 
 (f) if the Trustee holds First Mortgage Bonds or Additional Collateral, a “Completed Default” as such term is defined in
Section 65 of the Company Mortgage or an event of default under the Company Mortgage applicable to the Additional Collateral; or 
 (g) the Trustee’s receipt of written notice (which may be given by facsimile) from the Provider of an event of default under and as defined in the Credit Facility Agreement and stating that such notice is given
pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Indenture and directing acceleration. 
 If on the date on which payment of principal of, interest on or
other amount in any respect of the Bonds is due, sufficient moneys are not available to make such payment, the Trustee shall promptly give telephonic, electronic mail or facsimile notice of such insufficiency to the Company (in the case of
telephonic notice, given to the person at the telephone number provided for in Section 3.06(c) hereof). 
 Section 9.02.
Acceleration; Other Remedies. (a) If an Event of Default described in Section 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b), Section 9.01(c), Section 9.01(f) or Section 9.01(g) hereof or an Event of Default described in
Section 9.01(e) hereof resulting from an “Event of Default” under Section 7.01(a) or Section 7.01(c) of the Agreement (to the extent that the Trustee shall have received written notice or be deemed to have notice
pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.05 hereof) has occurred and has not been cured or waived, then (i) the Trustee may, with the consent of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing) or
(ii) the Trustee shall (A) upon the written direction of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing), (B) upon the written request of the Owners of not less than 33-1/3% in principal amount of the
Bonds then Outstanding and with the consent of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing), or (C) if the Trustee then holds First Mortgage Bonds, upon the acceleration of the First Mortgage Bonds pursuant to
the provisions of the Company Mortgage, by written notice by registered or certified mail to the Issuer, the Company and the Provider, declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable and, during the period the Credit Facility is in effect, with
accrued interest on the Bonds payable on the Bond Payment Date fixed pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 9.10 hereof, anything in this Indenture or in the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee shall give notice thereof to
the Issuer, the Company, the Remarketing Agent and the Provider and shall give notice thereof by Mail to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds, and the Trustee shall as promptly as practicable draw moneys under the Credit Facility to the extent available
thereunder, in an 

  

 -60- 








 
amount sufficient to pay principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds payable on the Bond Payment Date established by the Trustee pursuant to the last
paragraph of Section 9.10 hereof. 
 (b) The provisions of Section 9.02(a) are subject further to the condition that if, so long as
no Credit Facility is in effect, after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared to be due and payable and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
Issuer shall cause to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all Bonds, any unpaid purchase price and the principal of any and all Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of
such declaration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum then borne by the Bonds) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation
and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee and all Events of Default (other than nonpayment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration) shall have been remedied, then, in every such case, such Event of
Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment to the Issuer and the Company, and shall give notice thereof
by Mail to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds; provided, however, that no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any other Event of Default or subsequent Event of Default or impair any right, power or remedy consequent
thereon. 
 The provisions of Section 9.02(a) are further subject to the condition that, if an Event of Default described in
clause (g) of Section 9.01 hereof shall have occurred and if the Trustee shall thereafter have received written notice from the Provider (i) that the notice which caused such Event of Default to occur has been withdrawn and
(ii) that the amounts available to be drawn on the Credit Facility to pay (A) the principal of the Bonds or the portion of purchase price equal to principal and (B) interest on the Bonds and the portion of purchase price equal to
accrued interest have been reinstated to an amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon for the applicable Interest Coverage Period at the Interest Coverage Rate, then, in every such case, such Event
of Default shall be deemed waived and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission and annulment to the Issuer, the Company, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent, and, if
notice of the acceleration of the Bonds shall have been given to the Owners of Bonds, shall give notice thereof by Mail to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event
of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. 
 If the Trustee holds First Mortgage Bonds or Additional Collateral, the
provisions of Section 9.02(a) are, further, subject to the condition that any waiver of any “Completed Default” or event of default under the Company Mortgage and a rescission and annulment of its consequences (assuming that
the First Mortgage Bonds or the Additional Collateral are not otherwise to be mandatorily redeemed at the time of such waiver, rescission and annulment) shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event or Events of Default and a rescission and
annulment of the consequences thereof; provided, however, in the event that the Credit Facility has been drawn upon to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds upon acceleration, no “Completed Default” or event of
default under the Company Mortgage shall be waived unless

(in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Provider that the amounts available to be
drawn on the Credit Facility to pay (A) the principal of the Bonds or the portion of purchase price equal to principal and (B) interest on the Bonds and the portion of purchase price equal to accrued interest have been reinstated to an
amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding plus accrued interest thereon for the applicable Interest Coverage Period at the Interest Coverage Rate. The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or
annulment to the Issuer, the Company and the Provider and shall give notice thereof by Mail to all Owners of Outstanding Bonds; provided that it is deemed to have notice thereof under Section 10.05 hereof; but no such waiver, rescission
and annulment shall extend to or affect any other Event of Default or any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. 
 (c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default, then and in every such case the Trustee in its discretion, with the consent of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be
continuing) may, and upon the written request of the Owners of not less than 33-1/3% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and with the consent of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and upon
receipt of indemnity to its satisfaction (except against negligence or willful misconduct) shall in its own name and as the Trustee of an express trust: 
 (i) by mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, enforce all rights of the Owners under, and require the Issuer, the Company or the Provider to carry out any agreements with or for the benefit
of the Owners of Bonds and to perform its or their duties under, the Act, the Agreement, this Indenture, the Credit Facility and the Credit Facility Agreement, provided that any such remedy may be taken only to the extent permitted under the

 (ii) bring suit upon the Bonds; 

(iii) by action or suit in equity require the Issuer to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the Owners of Bonds;

(subject to Section 9.04) to control and direct the enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the Owners of the Bonds or the Trustee for the 

  

 -62- 








 
benefit of such Owners under this Indenture and shall be entitled to consent to any request or direction of the Owners as a condition to the effectiveness of
any such request or direction. 
 (d) The Trustee shall waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration
of acceleration of principal upon (i) the written direction of the Provider (unless a Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing) and (ii) the written request of the Owners of (A) more than a majority in principal amount
of all Outstanding Bonds in respect of which default in the payment of principal or purchase price of or interest on the Bonds exists or (B) more than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds in the case of any other Event of
Default; provided, however, that any Event of Default under Section 9.01(g) hereof may be waived only as provided in the second paragraph of 9.02(b); provided, further, that (x) there shall not be waived any Event of Default
specified in Section 9.01(a), Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c) hereof unless prior to such waiver or rescission the Issuer shall have caused to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest upon all Bonds and the principal and purchase price of any and all Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of such declaration of acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on
overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum then borne by the Bonds), (y) in the event that the Credit Facility has been drawn upon to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds upon acceleration, no Event of Default shall be
waived unless (in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Provider that the amounts available to be drawn on the Credit Facility to pay (A) the principal of the Bonds or the
portion of purchase price equal to principal and (B) interest on the Bonds and the portion of purchase price equal to accrued interest have been reinstated to an amount equal to the principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding plus accrued
interest thereon for the applicable Interest Coverage Period at the Interest Coverage Rate and (z) no Event of Default shall be waived unless (in addition to the applicable conditions as aforesaid) there shall have been deposited with the
Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee. In case of any waiver or rescission described above, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any
such Event of Default shall have been discontinued or concluded or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owners of Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
provided, further, that no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. 
 (e) Nothing herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Owner of Bonds any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting
the Bonds or the rights of any Owner of Bonds thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Owner of Bonds in any such proceeding without the approval of the Owners of Bonds so affected. 
 Section 9.03. Restoration to Former Position. In the event that any proceeding taken by the Trustee to enforce any right under this
Indenture shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Issuer, the Trustee and the Owners of Bonds shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder,


  

 -63- 








 
respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken. 
 Section 9.04. Owners’ Right to Direct Proceedings. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the
occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Provider (provided that a Provider Default shall not have occurred and be continuing) or the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, with the consent of the
Provider (provided that a Provider Default shall not have occurred and be continuing), shall have the right, by an instrument in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee and upon furnishing to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it (except
against negligence or willful misconduct), to direct the time, method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings available to the Trustee under this Indenture or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee by this Indenture;
provided that such direction shall not be other than in accordance with the provisions of law, the Agreement and this Indenture and shall not result in any personal liability of the Trustee. 
 Section 9.05. Limitation on Owners’ Right to Institute Proceedings. No Owner shall have any right to institute any suit, action
or proceeding in equity or at law for the execution of any trust or power hereunder, or any other remedy hereunder or in the Bonds, unless such Owner previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default as herein above
provided and unless the Owners of not less than 33-1/3% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have made written request of the Trustee so to do after the right to institute said suit, action or proceeding under Section 9.02
hereof shall have accrued, and shall have afforded the Trustee a reasonable opportunity to proceed to institute the same in either its or their name, and unless there also shall have been offered to the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to
it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby (except against negligence or willful misconduct), and the Trustee shall not have complied with such request within a reasonable time; and such notification, request
and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every such case, at the option of the Trustee, to be conditions precedent to the institution of said suit, action or proceeding, it being understood and intended that no one or more of the Owners shall
have any right in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the security of this Indenture, or to enforce any right hereunder or under the Bonds, except in the manner herein provided, and that all suits, actions and
proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of all Owners. 
 Section 9.06. No Impairment of Right to Enforce Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any Owner to receive payment of the principal or purchase price of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, its Bond, on or after the respective due dates expressed therein, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the respective due dates expressed therein, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent
of such Owner. 
 Section 9.07. Proceedings by Trustee Without Possession of Bonds. All rights of action under this
Indenture or under any of the Bonds secured hereby which are enforceable by the Trustee may be enforced by it without the possession of any of the Bonds, or the production thereof at the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such
suit, action or proceeding 

  

 -64- 








 
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the equal and ratable benefit of the Owners, subject to the provisions of this Indenture.

 Section 9.08. No Remedy Exclusive. Except as provided in Section 2.12, no remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Owners is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Agreement, or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute; provided, however, that any conditions set forth herein to the taking of any remedy to enforce the provisions of this Indenture, the Bonds or the Agreement shall also be conditions to
seeking any remedies under any of the foregoing pursuant to this Section 9.08. 
 Section 9.09. No Waiver of
Remedies. No delay or omission of the Trustee, the Provider or of any Owner to exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of
Default, or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article IX to the Trustee, the Provider and to the Owners, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. 
 Section 9.10. Application of Moneys. Any moneys received by the Trustee, by any receiver or by any Owner pursuant to any right given
or action taken under the provisions of this Article IX, after payment of the fees, costs and expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or its agents or counsel (provided that moneys received under the Credit Facility
for the principal of interest on the Bonds, remarketing proceeds or other moneys held for Bonds not presented for payment or deemed paid pursuant to Section 3.06(d), Section 6.04 or Article VIII hereof shall not be used for purposes other
than payment of such Bonds), shall be deposited in the Bond Fund and all moneys so deposited in the Bond Fund during the continuance of an Event of Default (other than moneys for the payment of Bonds which had matured or otherwise become payable
prior to such Event of Default or for the payment of interest due prior to such Event of Default) shall be applied as follows: 
 (a) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied (i) first, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on each Bond, with
interest on overdue installments of interest, if lawful at the rate per annum then borne by such Bond, in the order of maturity of the installments of such interest and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular
installment of interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, and (ii) 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 money is held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) with interest on each Bond at its rate from the respective dates upon which it became due and, if the amount available shall
not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal and interest due on such date, in each case to the persons entitled thereto, without
any discrimination or privilege. 
  

 -65- 








 (b) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, all such
moneys shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds, with interest on overdue interest and principal as aforesaid, without preference or priority of principal over interest or 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. 
 (c) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such
declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article then, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Section 9.10 which shall be applicable in the event that the principal of all
the Bonds shall later become due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a) of this Section 9.10. 
 Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee draw on the Credit Facility to make any payment of principal of Pledged Bonds or Bonds held of record by the Company or any payment of
interest on any Interest Payment Date on Bonds which as of the Record Date for such Interest Payment Date were Pledged Bonds or Bonds held of record by the Company. 
 Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 9.10, such moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine, having due regard to the
amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply such funds, it shall fix the Bond Payment Date upon which such
application is to commence and upon such Bond Payment Date interest on the amounts of principal and interest to be paid on such Bond Payment Date shall cease to accrue. When the Credit Facility is in effect, such Bond Payment Date may be fixed as
the date of acceleration or the first or second Business Day thereafter; provided, however, that the Bond Payment Date shall not be later than the date of acceleration unless moneys shall be available to be drawn under the Credit Facility to
pay accrued interest on the Bonds payable on such Bond Payment Date. The Trustee shall give notice of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such Bond Payment Date by Mail to the Provider and all Owners of Outstanding Bonds
and shall not be required to make payment to any Owner until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or cancellation if fully paid. 
 Section 9.11. Severability of Remedies. It is the purpose and intention of this Article IX to provide rights and remedies to the Trustee, the Provider and the Owners which may be lawfully granted
under the provisions of the Act, but should any right or remedy herein granted be held to be unlawful the Trustee, the Provider and the Owners shall be entitled, as above set forth, to every other right and remedy provided in this Indenture and by
law.

 ARTICLE X 
 TRUSTEE; PAYING AGENT; REGISTRAR; REMARKETING AGENT 
 Section 10.01. Acceptance of Trusts. The Issuer appoints The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee and Paying Agent.
The Trustee hereby accepts and agrees to execute the trusts hereby created, but only upon the additional terms set forth in this Article X, to all of which the Issuer agrees and the respective Owners agree by their acceptance of delivery of any of
the Bonds. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth herein and no implied covenant shall be read
into this Indenture. 
 Section 10.02. No Responsibilities for Recitals. The recitals, statements and representations
contained in this Indenture or in the Bonds, save only the Trustee’s authentication upon the Bonds, shall not be taken and construed as made by or on the part of the Trustee, and the Trustee does not assume, and shall not have, any
responsibility or obligation for the correctness of any thereof or for the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture, the Agreement, or any First Mortgage Bonds, or the perfection or the maintenance of the perfection of any security
interest granted hereby, or for the validity, enforceability or the priority of the lien of the Company Mortgage. 
 Section 10.03. Limitations on Liability. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform the duties required of it hereunder by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees, and shall be
entitled to advice of counsel concerning all matters of trust and its duties hereunder and shall not be answerable for the conduct of any such attorney, agent, receiver or employee if appointed by the Trustee with reasonable care, and the advice of
any such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and reliance thereon. The Trustee shall not be answerable for the exercise of any discretion or
power under this Indenture or for anything whatsoever in connection with the trusts created hereby, except only for its own negligence or willful misconduct. 
 The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Provider or the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Bonds Outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture. 
 No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. 
 The permissive rights of the Trustee to do things
enumerated in this Trust Indenture shall not be construed as a duty unless so specified herein. 
  

 -67- 








 The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an officer, director or
employee unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts. 
 The Trustee shall be under no
obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Provider or the Owners pursuant to the provisions of this Trust Indenture unless such Owners shall have offered to the
Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby, except for drawings on the Credit Facility and for declaring an acceleration of the Bonds under Section 9.02
hereof. 
 Whether or not expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Article X and shall extend to the Registrar, Paying Agents, and employees and agents of the Trustee. 
 The Trustee shall not be liable to the parties hereto or deemed in breach or default hereunder if and to the extent its performance hereunder is prevented by reason of force majeure. The term “force majeure”
means an occurrence that is beyond the control of the Trustee and could not have been avoided by exercising due care. Force majeure shall include acts of God, terrorism, war, riots, strikes, fire, floods, earthquakes, epidemics or other similar
occurrences. 
 The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured electronic
mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that, the Trustee shall have received an incumbency certificate listing persons designated to give such instructions or directions and containing
specimen signatures of such designated persons, which such incumbency certificate shall be amended and replaced whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer or the Company elects to give the Trustee electronic mail or
facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee acts upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses,
costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer and the
Company agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of
interception and misuse by third parties. 
 The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to any information,
statements or recitals in any offering memorandum or other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the issuance of these Bonds. 
 The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Bonds or the proceeds thereof or for the use or application of any money paid over by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. 
  

 -68- 








 In acting or omitting to act pursuant to the Agreement, the Tax Certificate or any other document
executed in connection herewith, the Trustee shall be entitled to all of the rights, immunities and indemnities accorded to it under this Indenture and the Agreement, including, but not limited to, this Article X. 
 Section 10.04. Compensation, Expenses and Advances. The Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall be entitled to such
compensation as shall be agreed in writing with the Company for their services rendered hereunder (not limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of the trustee of an express trust) and to reimbursement for their actual
out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) reasonably incurred in connection therewith except as a result of their negligence or willful misconduct. If the Issuer shall fail to perform any of the covenants or agreements
contained in this Indenture, the Trustee may, in its uncontrolled discretion and without notice to the Owners, at any time and from time to time, make advances to effect performance of the same on behalf of the Issuer, but the Trustee shall be under
no obligation so to do; and any and all such advances shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lesser of the Maximum Interest Rate and the rate of interest then in effect and as published in the Wall Street Journal as the composite prime
lending rate for domestic commercial loans; but no such advance shall operate to relieve the Issuer from any Event of Default. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for any claims resulting from any decision on its part not to advance funds as
permitted in the immediately preceding sentence. In the Agreement, the Company has agreed that it will pay to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, and the Registrar compensation and reimbursement of expenses and advances and certain indemnities, but the
Company may, without creating an Event of Default, contest in good faith the reasonableness of any such expenses. If the Company shall have failed to make any payment to the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Registrar under the Agreement, then each
of the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar shall have, in addition to any other rights hereunder, a claim, prior to the claim of the Owners, for the payment of their compensation and indemnitees and the reimbursement of their expenses and
any advances made by them, as provided in this Section 10.04, upon the moneys and obligations in the Bond Fund, except for moneys received under the Credit Facility, remarketing proceeds and moneys or obligations deposited with or paid to the
Trustee for the redemption or payment of Bonds which are deemed to have been paid in accordance with Article VIII hereof, or funds held pursuant to Section 6.04 hereof. 
 Without prejudice to any other rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 7.01(c) of the Agreement, the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 
 The provisions of this Section 10.04 shall survive
the termination of this Indenture and the earlier removal or resignation of the Trustee. 
 Section 10.05. Notice of Events of
Default and Determination of Taxability. The Trustee shall not be required to take notice, or be deemed to have notice (a) of any default or Event of Default, other than an Event of Default under Section 9.01(a),
Section 9.01(b) or Section 9.01(c) 

  

 -69- 








 
hereof, (b) of any Provider Default, (c) of any declaration of acceleration of any First Mortgage Bonds, or (d) any waiver of any
“Completed Default” under the Company Mortgage or any rescission or annulment of its consequences unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have been specifically notified in writing at the Principal Office of the Trustee,
Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, of such Event of Default or Provider Default by the Owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, the Issuer, the Company, the Provider or the Remarketing Agent. The Trustee may
(but is not obligated to), however, at any time, in its discretion, require of the Issuer full information and cooperation as to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein. Such inquiry shall not for the
purposes of this Section 10.05 constitute notice of any Event of Default. The Issuer shall not be required to take notice, or be deemed to have notice, of any Event of Default, other than an Event of Default of which it shall have actual
knowledge. If an Event of Default occurs after the Trustee has notice of the same as provided in this Section 10.05, or if a Determination of Taxability occurs of which the Trustee has actual knowledge, then the Trustee shall give notice
thereof by Mail to the Provider, the Remarketing Agent and the Owners of Outstanding Bonds. 
 Section 10.06. Action by Trustee. Except as provided in Section 2.16, Section 3.03 and Section 9.02 hereof and except for the payment of principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds
when due from moneys held by the Trustee as part of the Trust Estate, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to take any action in respect of any Event of Default or toward the execution or enforcement of any of the trusts hereby created, or to
institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding in connection therewith, unless requested in writing so to do by the Provider or the Owners of at least 33- 1/3
% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and, unless furnished, from time to time as often as it may require, with security and indemnity satisfactory to it (except against negligence or
willful misconduct); but the foregoing provisions are intended only for the protection of the Trustee, and shall not affect any discretion or power given by any provisions of this Indenture to the Trustee to take action in respect of any Event of
Default without such notice or request from the Owners, or without such security or indemnity. 
 Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture, in determining whether the rights of the Owners will be adversely affected by any action taken pursuant to the terms and provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall consider the effect on the Owners as if there were no Credit
Facility. 
 Section 10.07. Good-Faith Reliance. The Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider and the Remarketing
Agent, shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any resolution, notice, telegram, telex or facsimile transmission, request, consent, waiver, certificate, statement, affidavit, voucher, bond,
requisition or other paper or document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been passed or signed by the proper board, body or person or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Indenture, the Agreement, the Credit Facility Agreement or the Company Mortgage (if the Trustee holds First Mortgage Bonds), or upon the written opinion of any attorney, engineer, accountant or other expert believed, without independent
investigation, by the Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider or the Remarketing Agent, as the case may be, to be qualified in relation to the subject matter. The Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent, shall 

  

 -70- 








 
be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and rely
upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statements; provided, however, that the Trustee may, in its discretion, make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if
the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company personally or by agent or attorney. Neither the Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider nor the
Remarketing Agent shall be bound to recognize any person as an Owner or to take any action at such person’s request unless satisfactory evidence of the ownership of such Bond shall be furnished to such entity. 
 Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or
omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on its part, request and conclusively rely upon a certificate of an Authorized Company Representative
or an Executive Officer. 
 The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or
by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder. 
 Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the
authentication of any Bonds or the taking of any other action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture or the Agreement, any showings, certificates, opinions or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to those
by the terms hereof or thereof required as a condition of such action which are reasonably deemed desirable by the Trustee for the purpose of establishing the right of the Issuer or the Company to request the taking of such action by the Trustee.

 Section 10.08. Dealings in Bonds; Allowance of Interest. The Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider, or the
Remarketing Agent, in each of their individual capacities, may in good faith buy, sell own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds issued hereunder, or any bonds issued under the Company Mortgage, and may join in any action which any Owner may be
entitled to take with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. The Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider, or the Remarketing Agent, in each of their individual capacities, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be
interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the Company, and may act as depositary, trustee or agent for any committee or body of Owners secured hereby or other obligations of the Issuer or the Company as freely as if it did
not act in any capacity hereunder. 
 All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust
for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as it may agree with
the Company to pay thereon. 
  

 -71- 








 Section 10.09. Several Capacities. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the same entity may serve hereunder as the Trustee, the Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent and in any other combination of such capacities, to the extent permitted by law. For purposes of this Trust Indenture, the
Remarketing Agent shall not be deemed to be an agent or representative of the Trustee. 
 Section 10.10. Resignation of
Trustee. The Trustee may resign and be discharged of the trusts created by this Indenture by executing any instrument in writing resigning such trust and specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect, and filing the same
with the Issuer, the Company, the Registrar, the Provider, and the Remarketing Agent not less than 45 days before the date specified in such instrument when such resignation shall take effect, and by giving notice of such resignation by Mail not
less than three weeks prior to such resignation date, to all Owners of Bonds. Such resignation shall take effect on the day specified in such instrument and notice, unless previously a successor Trustee shall have been appointed as hereinafter
provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately upon the appointment of such successor Trustee, but in no event shall a resignation take effect earlier than the date on which a successor Trustee has been appointed and has
accepted its appointment and has received transfer of the rights of the Trustee under the Credit Facility. 
 Section 10.11.
Removal of Trustee. (a) The Trustee may be removed at any time by filing with the Trustee so removed and with the Issuer, the Company, the Registrar, the Provider, and the Remarketing Agent, an instrument or instruments in
writing executed by (i) the Provider, if no Provider Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing and if the Trustee has acted or failed to act hereunder in a manner that is contrary to the standard of care of the Trustee
provided for herein, or (ii) the Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding and, if no Provider Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Provider. 
 (b) The Issuer may, and, so long as no default or Event of Default is then existing under Section 7.01 of the Agreement or Section 9.01(a),
(b) or (c) of this Indenture, at the request of the Company will, remove the Trustee if (i) the Trustee fails to comply with Section 10.13(a), (b), (c) or (e) hereof, (ii) the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an
insolvent, (iii) a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property or (iv) the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

extent of the moneys held by the Trustee for such payment, the prompt payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds presented at either place of payment. The Paying Agent initially appointed hereunder is the Trustee,
and the place of payment shall be the Delivery Office of the Trustee.

shall be deemed to be the representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of any official, officer, agent, counsel or employee of the Issuer in his or her individual capacity, and neither the members of the Issuer nor any official executing the
Bonds shall be liable personally on the Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof. 
 Section 13.05. Bonds Owned by the Issuer or the Company. In determining whether the Owners of the requisite aggregate principal amount of the Bonds have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this
Indenture, Bonds which are owned by the Issuer or the Company or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company (unless the Issuer, the Company or such person owns all
Bonds which are then Outstanding, determined without regard to this Section 13.05) shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that, for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Bonds which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so disregarded. Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded
as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Bonds and that the pledgee is not the Issuer or the Company or any person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

 CITY OF FORSYTH, MONTANA (the

the Indenture) and on or prior to the related Interest Payment Date, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or unless
this Bond is registered and authenticated before the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from the Issue Date set forth above (the “Issue Date”); provided, however,
that if, as shown by the records of the Paying Agent (as hereinafter defined), interest on the Bonds (as hereinafter defined) shall be in default, Bonds issued in exchange for Bonds surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall bear
interest from the last date to which interest has been paid in full or duly provided for on the Bonds, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Bonds, from the Issue Date, until payment of said principal amount has been made or
duly provided for, at the rates and on the dates determined as described herein and in the Indenture (as hereinafter defined), and to pay (but only out of the sources hereinafter provided) interest on overdue principal and, to the extent permitted
by law, on overdue interest at the rate then borne by this Bond, except as the provisions hereinafter set forth with respect to redemption, purchase or acceleration prior to maturity may become applicable hereto. The principal of and premium, if
any, on this Bond are payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the corporate trust office in Seattle, Washington, of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., or its successors and assigns, as Paying Agent (the
“Paying Agent”). Interest payments on this Bond shall be made by the Paying Agent to the registered owner hereof as of the close of business on the Record Date with respect to each Interest Payment Date and shall be paid:

 (a) in respect of any Bond that is registered in the book-entry system, pursuant to the Indenture, in immediately available funds by no
later than 2:30 p.m., New York, New York time, and 
 (b) in respect of any Bond that is not registered in the book-entry system,

it appears on the registration books of The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as registrar (the “Registrar”) or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to the Registrar, or 
 (ii) during any Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture) other than a Term Interest Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture), in
immediately available funds on the Interest Payment Date (by wire transfer or by deposit to the account of the registered owner of this Bond if such account is maintained with the Paying Agent), 
 but in respect of any registered owner of any Bond or Bonds in a Daily Interest Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture) or a Weekly Interest Rate Period (as defined in
the Indenture) or a Flexible Interest Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture), only to any registered owner that owns Bonds in an aggregate principal amount of at least $1,000,000 on such Record Date, according to the written instructions given by
the registered owner hereof to the Paying Agent or, if no such instructions have been provided as of the Record Date, by bank check mailed by first-class mail on the Interest Payment Date to the registered owner at such registered owner’s
address as it appears as of the Record Date on the registration books of the Registrar. Notwithstanding the foregoing, interest in respect of any Bond bearing a Flexible Rate (as 

  

 A-2 








 
defined in the Indenture) shall be paid only upon presentation to The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (the
“Trustee”) of the Bond on which such payment is due. 
 THIS BOND AND
ALL OTHER BONDS OF THE ISSUE OF WHICH IT FORMS A PART
SHALL BE A LIMITED OBLIGATION OF THE ISSUER, SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE NOR
GIVE RISE TO A GENERAL OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY OF THE ISSUER OR
A CHARGE AGAINST ITS GENERAL CREDIT OR TAXING POWERS, AND SHALL NOT
CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE ISSUER OR OF THE STATE OF MONTANA,
OR A LOAN OF CREDIT THEREOF WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY CONSTITUTIONAL
OR STATUTORY PROVISION. 
 This Bond is one of the duly authorized Pollution Control Revenue
Refunding Bonds (Avista Corporation Colstrip Project) Series 2008 of the Issuer, originally issued in the aggregate principal amount of $17,000,000 (the “Bonds”), issued pursuant to proper action duly adopted by the Issuer on
December 8, 2008, and the applicable provisions of Sections 90-5-101 to 90-5-114, inclusive, Montana Code Annotated, as amended (the “Act”), and executed under a Trust Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2008, as
amended and supplemented (the “Indenture”), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee,” which term shall include any successor Trustee), for the purpose
of providing the funds necessary for the refunding of certain pollution control revenue bonds previously issued by the Issuer to finance or refinance certain pollution control facilities owned by Avista Corporation, a Washington corporation (the
“Company”). Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2008 (the “Loan Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Company, 
 This Bond and all other Bonds of the issue of which it forms a part are issued pursuant to and in full compliance with the Constitution and laws of the
State of Montana, particularly the Act, and pursuant to further proceedings adopted by the governing authority of the Issuer, which proceedings authorize the execution and delivery of the Indenture. This Bond and the issue of which it forms a part
are limited and not general obligations of the Issuer payable solely from the Revenues (as defined in the Indenture) and amounts derived under the Loan Agreement and pledged under the Indenture consisting of all amounts payable from time to time by
the Company in respect of the indebtedness under the Loan Agreement and all receipts of the Trustee credited under the provisions of the Indenture against said amounts payable, including all amounts drawn by the Trustee under a Credit Facility. No
Owner of any Bond issued under the Act has the right to compel any exercise of the taxing power of the Issuer to pay the Bonds, or the interest or premium if any, thereon. The Bonds shall not constitute an indebtedness or a general obligation of the
Issuer or a loan of credit thereof within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision, nor shall any of the Bonds constitute or give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers.

 Any term used herein as a defined term but not defined herein shall be defined as in the Indenture. 
 In the manner hereinafter provided and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the term of the Bonds will be divided into consecutive Rate Periods
during each of which the Bonds shall bear interest at the lesser of (a) Maximum Interest Rate (as defined in the Indenture) or (b) either, the Daily Interest Rate (the “Daily Interest Rate Period”), the Weekly Interest
Rate (the 

  

 A-3 








 
“Weekly Interest Rate Period”), the Term Interest Rate (the “Term Interest Rate Period”) or the Flexible Interest
Rate (the “Flexible Interest Rate Period”). Rate Periods for this Bond shall be determined in accordance with the Indenture. 
 This Bond shall bear interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of registration and authentication hereof unless it is registered and authenticated after a Record Date and on or prior to the related Interest Payment
Date, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from such Interest Payment Date, or unless this Bond is registered and authenticated before the Record Date for the first Interest Payment Date, in which event this Bond shall bear interest from the
Issue Date; provided, however, that if, as shown by the records of the Paying Agent, interest on the Bonds shall be in default, Bonds issued in exchange for Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange shall bear interest from the last
date to which interest has been paid in full or duly provided for on the Bonds, or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Bonds, from the Issue Date. Interest shall be computed, (a) in the case of a Term Interest Rate Period,
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and (b) in the case of any other Rate Period, on the basis of a 365 or 366 day year, as appropriate, for the actual number of days elapsed. The term “Interest Payment
Date” means (i) with respect to any Daily or Weekly Interest Rate Period, the first Business Day of each calendar month, (ii) with respect to any Term Interest Rate Period, any day in the sixth month following the commencement of
the Term Interest Rate Period and any day in each sixth month thereafter, and the day following the last day of a Term Interest Rate Period, (iii) with respect to any Flexible Segment, the Business Day next succeeding the last day thereof, and
(iv) with respect to any Rate Period, the day next succeeding the last day thereof. The term “Business Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or other day (a) on which commercial banks located in the cities in which
the Principal Office of the Trustee, the Principal Office of the Provider, the Principal Office of the Company, the Principal Office of the Remarketing Agent or the Principal Office of the Paying Agent are located are required or authorized by law
to remain closed or are closed, or (b) on which The New York Stock Exchange is closed. 
 The Bonds shall be deliverable in the form of
registered Bonds without coupons in the following denominations: (i) $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 in excess of $100,000 when the Bonds bear interest at a Daily, a Weekly or a Flexible Interest Rate; and (ii) $5,000 or
integral multiples of $5,000 when the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate (such denominations being referred to herein as “Authorized Denominations”). 
 As provided in the Loan Agreement, the Company may, at its option, provide for a Change of Credit Facility (as defined in the Indenture), which includes
the delivery or termination (or a combination thereof) of one or more letters of credit, bond insurance policies, standby bond purchase agreements, lines of credit, first mortgage bonds, other Company mortgage bonds or other security instruments or
liquidity devices. Also, as provided in the Loan Agreement, the Company may provide or replace Additional Collateral which includes first or other mortgage bonds or other collateral. 
 During each Daily Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate, determined in accordance with the provisions of the
Indenture by the Remarketing Agent on each Business Day for such Business Day. If the Remarketing Agent shall not have 

  

 A-4 








 
determined a Daily Interest Rate for any day by 9:30 a.m., New York, New York time, the Daily Interest Rate for such day shall be 100% of the most
recent SIFMA Swap Index. 
 During each Weekly Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at a Weekly Rate, determined in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture by the Remarketing Agent no later than the first day of such Weekly Interest Rate Period and thereafter no later than Tuesday of each week during such Weekly Interest Rate Period, unless any such Tuesday shall
not be a Business Day, in which event the Weekly Interest Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than the Business Day next preceding such Tuesday. If the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Weekly Interest Rate for any
period, the Weekly Interest Rate shall be 110% of the most recent SIFMA Swap Index. 
 During each Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds shall
bear interest at the Term Interest Rate, determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day selected by the Remarketing Agent but no more than 60 days prior to and not later than the effective
date of such Term Interest Rate Period. 
 During each Flexible Interest Rate Period, each Bond shall bear interest during each Flexible
Segment for such Bond at the Flexible Interest Rate for such Bond as described in the Indenture. Each Flexible Segment and Flexible Interest Rate shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture by the Remarketing Agent. Each
Flexible Segment shall be a period of not less than one nor more than 270 days. 
 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, if any Bonds
constitute Pledged Bonds due to a failure in remarketing such Bonds on a mandatory tender date, the Remarketing Agent shall be entitled to determine a new Daily Interest Rate, Weekly Interest Rate or Flexible Interest Rate with respect to such
Bonds, as appropriate (in accordance with the terms of, and under the conditions and subject to the limitations provided in, the Indenture), effective on such date as the Remarketing Agent is able to remarket such Pledged Bonds in whole. 

At the times and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Company may elect that the Bonds shall bear interest at an interest rate,
and for a period, different from those then applicable. The Trustee shall give notice of any such adjustment to the owners of the Bonds not less than 15 days prior to the effective date of such adjustment. Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture
to the contrary, the Company may rescind any such election and the Bonds will then bear interest as provided in the Indenture. 
 During any
Daily Interest Rate Period, any Bond or portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination shall be purchased at the option of the Owner thereof on any Business Day at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest,
if any, from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of purchase to the date of purchase (unless the date of purchase shall be an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price shall be equal to the principal amount thereof) upon
(a) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee and to the Remarketing Agent at the Principal Office of the Remarketing Agent, by not later than 10:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on such Business Day, of an irrevocable

(b) except when a book-entry system is in effect for the Bonds, delivery of such Bond to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee, accompanied by an instrument of transfer thereof, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed in

 During any Weekly Interest Rate Period, any Bond or portion thereof in an
Authorized Denomination shall be purchased at the option of the Owner thereof on any Business Day at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date
of purchase to the date of purchase (unless the date of purchase shall be an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price shall be equal to the principal amount thereof), upon (a) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the
Trustee of an irrevocable written notice (which may be by facsimile or other writing), by 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on any Business Day, which states the principal amount of such Bond and the certificate number (if the Bonds are not
held in book-entry form) and the date on which the same shall be purchased, which date shall not be prior to the seventh day next succeeding the date of the delivery of such notice to the Trustee, and (b) except when a book-entry system is in
effect for the Bonds, delivery of such Bond to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee, accompanied by an instrument of transfer thereof, in a form satisfactory to the Trustee, executed in blank by the Owner thereof with the signature of
such Owner guaranteed by a member or participant in a “signature guarantee program” as provided in the form of assignment attached to such Bond, at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the date specified in such
notice. 
 Any bond or portion thereof in an Authorized Denomination shall be purchased at the option of the Owner thereof on the first day
of any Term Interest Rate Period which is preceded by a Term Interest Rate Period of equal duration at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, upon (i) delivery to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee of an
irrevocable notice in writing by 5:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on any Business Day not less than fifteen days before the purchase date, which states the principal amount and certificate number (if the Bonds are not then held in book-entry
form) of such Bond to be purchased and (ii) except when a book-entry system is in effect for the Bonds, delivery of such Bond to the Trustee at the Delivery Office of the Trustee, accompanied by an instrument of transfer thereof, in a form
satisfactory to the Trustee, executed in blank by the Owner thereof with the signature of such Owner guaranteed by a member or participant in a “signature guarantee program” as provided in the form of assignment attached to such
Bond, at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York, New York time, on the purchase date. 
 “Record Date” means (a) with
respect to any Interest Payment Date in respect of any Daily Interest Rate Period, Weekly Interest Rate Period or Flexible Segment, the Business Day next preceding such Interest Payment Date, (b) with respect to any Interest Payment Date in
respect of any Term Interest Rate Period, the fifteenth day of the month preceding such Interest Payment Date (except as provided in the following clause (c); and (c) for any Interest Payment 

  

 A-6 








 
Date established pursuant to clause (d) of the definition of “Interest Payment Date” in Section 1.01 of the Indenture in respect

 In each case in which a portion of a Bond is
purchased, both the portion so purchased and the portion of such Bond not so purchased shall be in Authorized Denominations. 
 This Bond
shall be subject to mandatory purchase at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof to the purchase date plus accrued interest, if any, to the purchase date: (a) on the effective date of any change in a Rate Period with
respect to this Bond other than the effective date of a Term Interest Rate Period which was preceded by a Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration; (b) during any Flexible Interest Rate Period, on the day next succeeding the last day of
any Flexible Segment thereof; (c) in connection with a Change of Credit Facility, as provided in Section 3.02(a)(iii) of the Indenture; (d) on the second Business Day following the day that the Trustee receives notice from the
Provider that, following a drawing on the Credit Facility on an Interest Payment Date for the payment of unpaid interest on the Bonds, the Credit Facility will not be reinstated in accordance with its terms; (e) as to any Bond, if a Credit
Facility is in effect, on the second Business Day following the day that the Trustee receives notice from the Provider directing such mandatory purchase upon the occurrence and continuance of an event of default under the Credit Facility Agreement;
or (f) as to each Bond in a Daily Interest Rate Period or a Weekly Interest Rate Period, on any Business Day designated by the Company, with the consent of the Provider and the Remarketing Agent. 
 The Bonds are also subject to mandatory purchase during any Term Interest Rate Period on a day that the Bonds would be subject to optional redemption
pursuant to Section 4.02(b)(iii) of the Indenture, at a purchase price equal to 100% the principal amount thereof plus an amount equal to any premium which would have been payable on such redemption date had the Bonds been redeemed if the
Company gives notice to the Trustee on or before the Business Day prior to the redemption date that it elects to have the Bonds purchased in lieu of redemption. If the Bonds are purchased on or prior to the Record Date, the purchase price shall
include accrued interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of purchase to the date of purchase (unless the date of purchase shall be an Interest Payment Date, in which case the purchase price shall be equal to the amount
specified in the preceding sentence). If the Bonds are purchased after the Record Date, the purchase price shall not include accrued interest. 
 BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS BOND, THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREBY AGREES THAT,
IF THIS BOND IS TO BE PURCHASED AND IF MONEYS SUFFICIENT TO
PAY THE PURCHASE PRICE SHALL BE HELD BY THE TRUSTEE ON THE
DATE THIS BOND IS TO BE PURCHASED, THIS BOND SHALL BE DEEMED
TO HAVE BEEN PURCHASED AND SHALL BE PURCHASED ACCORDING OF THE
INDENTURE, WHETHER OR NOT THIS BOND SHALL HAVE BEEN DELIVERED TO THE
TRUSTEE, AND THE OWNER OF THIS BOND SHALL HAVE NO CLAIM HEREON,
UNDER THE INDENTURE OR OTHERWISE, FOR ANY AMOUNT OTHER THAN THE
PURCHASE PRICE HEREOF. 
 The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole or in part, and if in part by
lot, at any time at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Company stating that any of the 

  

 A-7 








 
following events has occurred and that the Company therefore intends to exercise its option to prepay the payments due under the Loan Agreement in whole or
in part and thereby effect the redemption of Bonds in whole or in part to the extent of such prepayments: (a) the Company shall have determined or concurred in a determination that the continued operation of the Plant is impracticable,
uneconomical or undesirable for any reason; (b) all or substantially all of the Plant shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; (c) the operation of the Plant shall have been enjoined or shall have otherwise been prohibited by,
or shall conflict with, any order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or of any federal, state or local regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body; (d) unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall have been
imposed upon the Company in respect of all or a part of the Pollution Control Facilities or the Plant including, without limitation, federal, state or other ad valorem, property, income or other taxes not being imposed on the date of the Loan
Agreement, as well as any statute or regulation enacted or promulgated after the date of the Loan Agreement that prevents the Company from deducting interest in respect of the Agreement for federal income tax purposes; or (e) all or
substantially all of the Project shall be transferred or sold to any entity other than an affiliate of the Company. 
 The Bonds shall be
subject to redemption upon prepayment of the Loan Payments at the option of the Company, in whole, or in part by lot, prior to their maturity, as follows: 
 (a) While the Bonds bear interest at a Flexible Interest Rate or Rates, each Bond shall be subject to such redemption on the day next succeeding the last day of each Flexible Segment for such Bond at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof. 
 (b) While the Bonds bear interest at a Daily Interest Rate or a Weekly
Interest Rate, the Bonds shall be, with the consent of the Provider, subject to such redemption on any Business Day at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

 (c) While the Bonds bear interest at a Term Interest Rate, the Bonds shall be subject to such redemption (1) on the
day next succeeding the last day of each Term Interest Rate Period at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date and (2) either (i) on the redemption
dates and at the redemption prices specified by the Company pursuant to the next succeeding paragraph or (ii) during the redemption periods specified below, in each case in whole or in part, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of
principal amount) hereinafter indicated plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date: 
  

 A-8 









			
	 LENGTH OF TERM
 INTEREST RATE PERIOD
	  	REDEMPTION DATES AND PRICES
		
	Greater than or equal to 11 years	  	At any time on or after the first day of the calendar month following the tenth anniversary of the effective date at 102% declining 1% annually to 100%
		
	Less than 11 years	  	Not redeemable

 With respect to any Term Interest Rate Period, the Company may specify redemption provisions,
prices and periods other than those set forth above; provided, however, at the time of such specification, the Company shall provide a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the proposed action is not prohibited by the laws of
the State and the Indenture and will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
 The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole on any
date from amounts which are to be prepaid by the Company under the Loan Agreement, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus interest accrued, if any, to the redemption date within 180 days after the occurrence of a
Determination of Taxability; provided that if, in the Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Trustee, the redemption of a specified portion of the Bonds outstanding would have the result that interest payable on the Bonds
remaining outstanding after such redemption would remain Tax-Exempt, then the Bonds shall be redeemed in part by lot (in Authorized Denominations), in such amount as Bond Counsel in such opinion shall have determined is necessary to accomplish that
result. 
 A “Determination of Taxability” shall be deemed to have occurred if as a result of the Company’s failure to
observe any covenant, agreement or representation in the Loan Agreement, a final decree or judgment of any federal court or a final action of the Internal Revenue Service determines that interest paid or payable on any Bond is or was includible in
the gross income of an Owner of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under the Code (other than an Owner who is a “substantial user” or “related person” within the meaning of Section 103(b)(13) of the 1954
Code). However, no such decree or action will be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either
directly or in the name of any Owner of a Bond, and until conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. 
 Notice of any optional or
mandatory redemption shall be given by first-class mail not less than 15 days nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Owners of Bonds at the address shown on the registration books of the Registrar on the date such notice
is mailed. Such notice shall state, among other things, that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt of Available Moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such Bonds to be redeemed. In the event
such Available Moneys are (a) not so received, (b) no longer sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on, such Bonds or (c) no longer considered Available Moneys, in each case, on the redemption date; the
redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give 

  

 A-9 








 
notice, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such redemption will not take place. If less than all of the Bonds are called for
redemption, the Trustee shall select the Bonds or any given portion thereof from the outstanding Bonds or such given portion thereof not previously called for redemption, by lot. For the purpose of any such selection the Trustee shall assign a
separate number for each minimum Authorized Denomination of each Bond of a denomination of more than such minimum; provided that, following any such selection, both the portion of such Bond to be redeemed and the portion remaining shall be in
Authorized Denominations. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, Pledged Bonds shall be redeemed prior to any other Bonds. 
 Subject to
the limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in the Indenture, Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same tenor and of Authorized Denominations.

 This Bond is transferable by the person in whose name it is registered, in person, or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the
Principal Office of the Registrar, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in a
form approved by the Registrar, duly executed. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Bond or Bonds in Authorized Denominations, for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. 
 The Issuer, the Registrar, the Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Registrar or the Trustee may treat the person in whose name this Bond is
registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Bond be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Registrar, the Trustee, any paying agent nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 
 The Bonds are equally and ratably secured, to the extent provided in the Indenture, by the pledge
thereunder of the “Revenues,” which term is used herein as defined in the Indenture and which as therein defined means all moneys paid or payable to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer in accordance with the Loan Agreement,
including all moneys drawn under the Credit Facility and deposited in the Bond Fund and the Credit Facility Fund to pay principal of the Bonds (and premium, if any, on the Bonds if covered by such Credit Facility) upon redemption, at maturity or
upon acceleration of maturity, or to pay interest on the Bonds when due, and all receipts credited under the provisions of the Indenture against such payments; provided, however, that “Revenues” shall not include moneys held
by the Trustee to pay the purchase price of Bonds subject to purchase pursuant to the Indenture. The Issuer has also pledged and assigned to the Trustee as security for the Bonds all other rights and interests of the Issuer under the Loan Agreement
(other than its rights to indemnification and certain administrative expenses and certain other rights). 
 The Owner of this Bond shall have
no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture, or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other
proceeding with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture. 
  

 A-10 








 With certain exceptions as provided therein, the Indenture and the Loan Agreement may be modified or
amended only with the consent of the Provider (unless a Provider Default as specified in the Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing) and the Owners of not less than 60% in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding under the
Indenture. 
 Reference is hereby made to the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Credit Facility and the Tax Certificate, copies of which are
on file with the Trustee, for the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of the rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, the Provider and the Owners of the
Bonds. The Owner of this Bond, by the acceptance hereof, is deemed to have agreed and consented to and to be bound by the terms and provisions of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and the Tax Certificate. 
 The Indenture prescribes the manner in which it may be discharged, including, except as otherwise provided in the Indenture, (a) a provision that
the Bonds shall be deemed to be paid if moneys, which constitute Available Moneys or moneys drawn on the Credit Facility, sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and all necessary and proper fees, compensation
and expenses of the Trustee, the Registrar, the Provider and the Remarketing Agent, shall have been deposited with the Trustee, after which the Bonds shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes
of registration and exchange of Bonds and of delivery of the Bonds to the Trustee for purchase, and (b) a provision that, if the Bonds mature or are called for redemption prior to the next date upon which the Bonds are subject to purchase
pursuant to the Indenture, and if the Company waives its right to adjust the interest rate borne by the Bonds, the Bonds shall be deemed to be paid if (i) moneys, which shall be Available Moneys or moneys drawn under the Credit Facility,
sufficient to make such payment, and/or Government Obligations purchased with Available Moneys or moneys drawn under the Credit Facility and maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as to insure, without reinvestment,
the availability of sufficient moneys to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds and all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee and the Registrar, shall have been deposited with the Trustee,
after which the Bonds shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes of registration and exchange of Bonds and of such payment. 
 No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or upon any
obligation, covenant or agreement in the Indenture contained, against any past, present or future officer, elected official agent or employee of the Issuer, or any incorporator, officer, director or member of any successor corporation, as such,
either directly or through the Issuer or any successor corporation, under any rule of law or equity, statute or constitution or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, and all such liability of any such incorporator, officer,
director or member is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of the Indenture and the issuance of any of the Bonds. 
 IT IS HEREBY CERTIFIED, RECITED AND DECLARED that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and
be performed precedent to and in the execution and delivery of the Indenture and the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due 

  

 A-11 








 
time, form and manner as required by law, and that the issuance of this Bond and the issue of which it forms a part, together with all other obligations of
the Issuer, does not exceed or violate any constitutional or statutory limitation of indebtedness. 
 This Bond shall not be entitled to any
security or benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or become obligatory for any purpose, until this Bond shall have been authenticated by the execution by the Registrar of the certificate of authentication inscribed hereon. 
 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, CITY OF FORSYTH, MONTANA,
has caused this Bond to be executed in its name with the signature of its Mayor and attested by the signature of its City Clerk-Treasurer, all as of the Issue Date specified above.
