WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the State Commerce Act, constituting Connecticut General Statutes, Sections 32-1a

development of recreation facilities to promote tourism, provide and maintain employment and tax
revenues, and promote the public welfare, (3) for the development of commercial and retail sales
and service facilities in urban areas to provide and maintain construction and permanent employment
and tax revenues, to improve conditions of deteriorated physical development, slow economic growth
and eroded financial health of the public and private sectors in urban areas and to revitalize the
economy of urban areas, and (4) for assistance to public service businesses providing
transportation and utility services in the State, and that the availability of financial assistance

remain or locate in the State and to provide industrial, recreation, urban and public service
projects; and

purposes which would constitute it as an economic development project, recreation project, urban
project, public service project or health care project, and any real property improvement
reasonably related thereto, and (2) a project may also include or consist exclusively of machinery,
equipment or fixtures; and

     WHEREAS, the Act provides that the Authority shall have power to determine the location and
character of, and extend credit or make loans to any person for the planning, designing, acquiring,
improving and equipping of, a project which may be secured by loan, lease or sale agreements,
contracts and other instruments, upon such terms and conditions as the Authority shall determine to
be reasonable, to require the inclusion in any contract, loan agreement or other instrument of such
provisions for the construction, use, operation, maintenance and financing of the project as the
Authority may deem necessary or desirable, to issue its bonds for such purposes, subject to the
approval of the Treasurer of the State, and, as security for the payment of the principal or
redemption price, if any, of and interest on any such bonds, to pledge or assign such a loan, lease
or sale agreement and the revenues and receipts derived by the Authority from such a project; and

     WHEREAS, by resolution adopted on April 18, 2007, in furtherance of the purposes of the Act,
the Authority has accepted the application of The Connecticut Water Company (the “Borrower”) for
assistance in the financing of various capital projects located in the State of Connecticut; and

 

 

     WHEREAS, the Borrower currently owns certain existing facilities within certain municipalities

area; and

     WHEREAS, the Authority has by a further resolution adopted on October 17, 2007 authorized the
issuance of not to exceed $15,000,000 principal amount of its Water Facilities Revenue Bonds (The
Connecticut Water Company Project — 2007A Series) for the purpose of providing funds for the
Projects; and

     WHEREAS, pursuant to such resolution the Bonds (as hereinafter defined) are to be secured by
an Indenture of Trust of even date herewith, by and between the Authority and U.S. Bank National
Association, as Trustee; and

     WHEREAS, the Bonds shall be special obligations of the Authority, payable solely from the
revenues or other receipts, funds or monies to be derived by the Authority under this Agreement or
the Indenture and from any amounts otherwise available under the Indenture for the payment of the
Bonds; and

     WHEREAS, the Authority proposes with the proceeds of the Bonds to make a loan to the Borrower
and the Borrower proposes to borrow such proceeds from the Authority for the purpose of financing
the acquisition, construction and installation of the Project; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrower acknowledges that the Authority is providing financing for the Project
in furtherance of the Authority’s corporate purposes under the Act, that the accomplishment of
these purposes is dependent upon the compliance of the Borrower with its covenants contained in
this Agreement, that the Authority has a resulting beneficial interest in the Project, and that the
Borrower’s use of and interest in the Project as provided hereby are in furtherance of the
discharge of a public purpose; and

     WHEREAS, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (the “DPUC”) has approved the
issuance of the Note;

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual representations, covenants
and agreements herein set forth, the Authority and the Borrower, each binding itself, its
successors and assigns, do mutually promise, covenant and agree as follows (provided that in the

thereof and neither the State nor any municipality thereof shall be liable on any obligation so
incurred, but any such obligation shall be payable solely out of the revenues or other receipts,

of and interest on the Bonds.

     (5) The execution and delivery of the Bonds, the Indenture and the Financing Documents

indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement or other agreement or instrument to which
the Authority is a party or by which the Authority is bound, or, to the knowledge of the

by the Indenture, or which, in any way, would adversely affect the validity of the Bonds, or
the validity of or

by this reference incorporated in this Agreement as though fully set forth herein.

     Section 2.2. Representations by the Borrower. 

     The Borrower represents and warrants that:

     (1) The Borrower has been duly incorporated and validly exists as a corporation under
the laws of the State of Connecticut, is not in violation of any provision of its
certificate of incorporation or its by-laws, has corporate power to enter into and perform
the Financing Documents, and by proper corporate action has duly authorized the execution
and delivery of the Financing Documents.

     (2) The Financing Documents constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Borrower, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except to the extent that
such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy or insolvency or other laws affecting
creditors’ rights generally or by general principles of equity.

     (3) Neither the execution and delivery of the Financing Documents, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated thereby, nor the fulfillment by the Borrower of or compliance
by the Borrower with the terms and conditions thereof is prevented or limited by or
conflicts with or results in a breach of, or default under the terms, conditions or
provisions of any contractual or other restriction of the Borrower, evidence of its
indebtedness or agreement or instrument of whatever nature to which the Borrower is now a
party or by which it is bound, or constitutes a material default under any of the foregoing.
No event has occurred and no condition exists which, upon the execution and delivery of any
Financing Documents, constitutes an Event of Default hereunder or an Event of Default
thereunder or, but for the lapse of time or the giving of notice, would constitute an Event
of Default hereunder or an Event of Default thereunder.

     (4) There is no action or proceeding pending or, to the knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against the Borrower before any court, administrative agency or arbitration board
that may materially and adversely affect the ability of the Borrower to perform its
obligations under the Financing Documents and all authorizations, consents and approvals of
governmental bodies or agencies required in connection with the execution and delivery of
the Financing Documents and in connection with the performance of the Borrower’s obligations
hereunder or thereunder have been obtained.

     (5) The execution, delivery and performance of the Financing Documents and any other
instrument delivered by the Borrower pursuant to the terms hereof or thereof are within the
corporate powers of the Borrower and have been duly authorized and approved by the board of
directors of the Borrower and are not in contravention of law or of the Borrower’s
certificate of incorporation or by-laws, as amended to date, or of any undertaking or
agreement to which the Borrower is a party or by which it is bound.

-10-

 

     (6) The Borrower represents that it has not made any commitment or taken any action
which will result in a valid claim for any finders’ or similar fees or commitments in
respect of the transactions described in this Agreement other than the fees to various
parties to the transactions contemplated hereby which have been heretofore paid or provided.

     (7) The Project is included within the definition of a “project” in the Act. The
Borrower intends the Project to continue to be an authorized project under the Act during
the Term of this Agreement.

     (8) All amounts shown in Schedule D of the Tax Regulatory Agreement are eligible costs
of a project financed by bonds issued by the Authority under the Act, and may be financed by
amounts in the various Accounts of the Project Fund under the Indenture. None of the
proceeds of the Bonds will be used directly or indirectly as working capital or to finance
inventory.

     (9) The Project is in material compliance with all applicable federal, State and local
laws and ordinances (including rules and regulations) relating to zoning, building, safety
and environmental quality.

     (10) The Borrower intends to proceed with due diligence to complete the Project

be obtained, all necessary material approvals from any and all governmental agencies
requisite to the Project, and has also obtained or will cause to be obtained, all material
occupancy permits and authorizations from appropriate authorities authorizing the occupancy
and use of the Project for the purposes contemplated hereby. The Borrower further
represents and warrants that it will complete the Project, or cause the Project to be
completed, in accordance with all material federal, State and local laws, ordinances and
regulations applicable thereto.

     (11) The availability of financial assistance from the Authority, among other factors,
has induced the Borrower to locate the Project in the State. The Borrower does not
presently intend to lease the Project.

     (12) The Borrower will not take or omit to take any action which action or omission
will in any way cause the proceeds of the Bonds to be applied in a manner contrary to that
provided in the Indenture and the Financing Documents as in force from time to time.

     (13) The Borrower has not taken and will not take any action and knows of no action
that any other person, firm or corporation, has taken or intends to take, which would cause
interest on the Bonds to be includable in the gross income of the recipients thereof for
federal income tax purposes. The representations, certifications and statements of
reasonable expectation made by the Borrower in the Tax Regulatory Agreement and relating to
Project description, composite issues, bond maturity and average asset economic life, use of
Bond proceeds, arbitrage and related matters are hereby incorporated by this reference as
though fully set forth herein.

on behalf of the Borrower, has entered into negotiations with any person for the purpose of
undertaking any borrowing concurrently with or subsequent to the issuance of the Bonds and
to be secured wholly or partially by a lien or encumbrance on the Project or any part
thereof, and the Borrower has no present intention of undertaking any such borrowing.

     (17) The Borrower will use all of the proceeds of the Bonds to finance the Project
Costs.

terms of this Agreement, the Authority agrees to make a loan to the Borrower from the proceeds of
the Bonds in the amount of $15,000,000 and the Borrower agrees to borrow such amount from the
Authority.

     (B) The loan shall be made at the time of delivery of the Bonds and receipt of payment
therefor by the Authority against receipt by the Authority of the Note duly executed and delivered
to evidence the pecuniary indebtedness of the Borrower hereunder. As and for the loan the
Authority shall apply the proceeds of the Bonds as provided in the Indenture on the terms and
conditions therein prescribed.

     (C) On or before the Business Day immediately preceding each due date for the payment of the
principal of or interest on the Bonds, until the principal or Redemption Price, if any, of and
interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have
been made in accordance with the Indenture, the Borrower shall make loan payments to the Trustee
for the account of the Authority in an amount which, when added to any moneys then on deposit in
the Debt Service Fund and available therefor, shall be equal to the amount payable on such due date
with respect to the Bonds as provided in Section 5.3 of the Indenture, including amounts due for
the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds. In addition, the Borrower shall pay to
the Trustee, as and when the same shall become due, all other amounts due under the Financing
Documents, together with interest thereon at the then applicable rate as set forth herein in
Section 6.2(G). The Borrower shall have the option to prepay its loan obligation in whole or in
part at the times and in the manner provided in Article VIII hereof.

     (D) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any amount at any time held in the
Principal and Interest Account of the Debt Service Fund by the Trustee pursuant to this Section
shall be credited against the next succeeding loan payment obligation of the Borrower as provided
in subsection 3.1(C) hereof. If, on any due date for payments with respect to the Bonds, the
balance in the Debt Service Fund is insufficient to make such payments, the Borrower agrees
forthwith to pay to the Trustee by no later than 11:00 a.m. on such due date the amount of the
deficiency. If at any time the amount held by the Trustee in the Debt Service Fund shall be
sufficient to pay or provide for the payment of the Bonds in accordance with Section 12.1 of the
Indenture, the Borrower shall not be obligated to make any further payments under the foregoing
provisions.

     Section 3.2. Other Amounts Payable. (A) The Borrower hereby further expressly agrees
to pay to the Trustee as and when the same shall become due, (i) an amount equal to the initial and
annual fees of the Trustee for the ordinary services of the Trustee rendered and its ordinary
expenses incurred under the Indenture, including fees and expenses as Paying Agent and the
reasonable fees and expenses of Trustee’s counsel, including fees and expenses as registrar and in
connection with preparation and delivery of new Bonds upon exchanges or transfers, (ii) the

the reasonable fees and charges of the Trustee for extraordinary services rendered by it and
extraordinary expenses incurred by it under the Indenture, including reasonable counsel fees and
expenses, and (iv) reasonable fees and expenses of Bond Counsel and the Authority for any future
action requested of either.

     (B) The Borrower also agrees to pay all amounts payable by it under the Financing Documents at
the time and in the manner therein provided.

-13-

 

     (C) The Borrower agrees to pay all Rebatable Arbitrage (and penalties, if any) due to the
United States of America pursuant to Section 148 (f) of the Code.

     (D) The Borrower also agrees to pay directly to the Authority on the date of issuance and
delivery of the Bonds and on the second anniversary date of the date of issuance and delivery of
the Bonds and each anniversary date thereafter, a fee equal to 1/8th of 1% of the principal amount
of the Bonds Outstanding, such fee to be payable without notice, demand or invoice of any kind at
the Authority’s address as set forth herein or at such other address and to the attention of such
other person, or to such account as the Authority may stipulate by written notice to the Borrower.

     Section 3.3. Manner of Payment. The payments provided for in Section 3.1 hereof shall
be made by any reasonable method providing immediately available funds at the time and place of
payment directly to the Trustee for the account of the Authority and shall be deposited in the Debt
Service Fund. The additional payments provided for in Section 3.2 shall be made in the same manner
directly to the entitled party or to the Trustee for its own use or disbursement to the Paying
Agents, as the case may be.

     Section 3.4. Obligation Unconditional. The obligations of the Borrower under the
Financing Documents shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any defense or any rights
of setoff, recoupment or counterclaim it might otherwise have against the Authority or the Trustee.
The Borrower will not suspend or discontinue any such payment or terminate this Agreement (other
than in the manner provided for hereunder) for any cause, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of
consideration, failure of title, or commercial frustration of purpose, or any damage to or
destruction of the Project, or the taking by eminent domain of title to or the right of temporary
use of all or any part of the Project, or any change in the tax or other laws of the United States,
the State or any political subdivision of either thereof, or any failure of the Authority or the
Trustee to perform and observe any agreement or covenant, whether expressed or implied, or any
duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with the Financing Documents.

     Section 3.5. Securities Clauses. The Authority hereby notifies the Borrower and the
Borrower acknowledges that, among other things, the Borrower’s loan payments and all of the
Authority’s right, title and interest under the Financing Documents to which it is a party (except
its rights under Sections 6.2, 6.4, 7.2(A)(2) and 7.3 hereof) are being concurrently with the
execution and delivery hereof endorsed, pledged and assigned without recourse by the Authority to
the Trustee as security for the Bonds as provided in the Indenture.

     Section 3.6. Issuance of Bonds. The Authority has concurrently with the execution and

proceeds of sale of the Bonds shall be applied as provided in Articles IV and V of the Indenture.

     Section 3.7. Effective Date and Term. (A) This Agreement shall become effective upon
its execution and delivery by the parties hereto, shall remain in full force from such date and,
subject to the provisions hereof (including particularly Articles VII and VIII), shall expire on
such date as the Indenture shall be discharged and satisfied in accordance with the provisions of
subsection 12.1(A) thereof. The Borrower’s obligations under Sections 6.2 and 6.3 hereof, however,
shall survive the expiration of this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of such Sections.

     (B) Within 60 days of such expiration the Authority shall deliver to the Borrower any
documents and take or cause the Trustee, at the Borrower’s expense, to take any such reasonable
actions as may be necessary to effect the cancellation, release and satisfaction of the Indenture
and the Financing Documents.

ARTICLE IV

THE PROJECT

     Section 4.1. Completion of the Project. (A) The Borrower agrees that it will
undertake and complete the Project for the purposes and in the manner intended hereby and by the
Borrower’s application for assistance to the Authority and that it will cause such improvements to
be made to the Project as are necessary for the operation thereof in the manner herein provided.

     (B) The Borrower may modify, alter and amend the plans for the Project from time to time and
at any time, provided that such modifications, alterations and amendments do not materially impair
the operation of the Project as water facilities under the Act and provided that no material
modifications, alterations or amendments shall be made unless the Borrower shall have theretofore
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment, modification
or alteration and the expenditure of amounts from the Project Fund in connection therewith will not
cause interest on the Bonds to be subject to federal income taxation, together with any written
representations or certifications of fact made by or on behalf of the Borrower upon which such
counsel has relied in rendering such opinion.

     (C) The Borrower affirms that it shall bear all of the costs and expenses in connection with
the preparation of the Financing Documents and the Indenture, the preparation and delivery of any
legal instruments and documents necessary in connection therewith and their filing and recording,
if required, and all taxes and charges payable in connection with any of the foregoing. Such costs
and all other costs of the Project shall be paid by the Borrower in the manner and to the extent
provided in the Indenture.

     (D) The Borrower hereby agrees that in order to effectuate the purposes of the Financing
Documents, it will make, execute, acknowledge and deliver any contracts, orders, receipts, writings
and instructions with any other persons, firms, or corporations and in general do all things which
may be requisite or proper, all for the purpose of carrying out and completing the Project. The
Borrower will use its best efforts to complete the Project, or cause the Project to be completed,
with all reasonable dispatch. If for any reason the completion of such work is delayed, there
shall be no liability on the part of the Authority and no diminution in or postponement of the
payments required in Section 3.1 hereof to be paid by the Borrower.

     (E) The Borrower has obtained or shall obtain all necessary material approvals from any and
all governmental agencies requisite to the undertaking and completion of the Project and in
compliance with all federal, State and local laws, ordinances and regulations applicable thereto.
Upon completion of the Project, the Borrower shall obtain all material required permits and
authorizations from appropriate authorities, if any be required, authorizing the operation and uses
of the Project for the purposes contemplated hereby, where failure to obtain such approvals,
permits and authorizations would have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated
hereby.

     (F) The Borrower covenants that it will take, or cause to be taken, such action and institute
such proceedings within its power and authority as shall be necessary to cause and require all
contractors and material suppliers to complete their contracts diligently in accordance with the
terms of the contracts, including, without limitation, the correcting of any defective work.

     (G) Upon the occurrence of a default by any contractor or subcontractor or supplier under any
contract made by it in connection with the Project, the Borrower will promptly proceed, to the
extent it deems appropriate in the circumstances, either separately or in conjunction with others,
to exhaust the remedies of the Borrower against any such contractor or subcontractor or supplier
for the performance of such contract.

-16-

 

     (H) The Borrower will have good and marketable title in fee simple to the Project Realty to be
owned by it subject only to Permitted Encumbrances, sufficient for the purposes of this Agreement.

     Section 4.2. Payment of Additional Project Costs by Borrower. In the event that
moneys in the Project Fund are not sufficient to pay Project Costs in full, the Borrower shall
nonetheless complete the Project, or cause the Project to be completed, and shall pay that portion
of the Project Costs as may be in excess of the moneys available therefor in the Project Fund and
shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Authority or from the Trustee or from
the holders of any of the Bonds, nor shall it be entitled to any diminution of the amounts payable
under the Financing Documents.

     Section 4.3. Completion Certificate. The date of completion of the Project shall be
evidenced to the Trustee by the certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Borrower stating
that the Project has been completed in accordance with the Agreement and in accordance with the
plans and specifications therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such certificate shall state (1)
that it is given without prejudice to any rights of the Borrower against third parties which exist
at the date of such certificate or which may subsequently come into being, (2) that it is given
only for the purpose of this Section and (3) that no person other than the Trustee or the Authority
may benefit therefrom.

     Section 4.4. No Warranty Regarding Condition, Suitability or Cost of Project. Neither
the Authority, nor the Trustee, nor any Bondholder makes any warranty, either expressed or implied,
as to the Project or its condition or that it will be suitable for the Borrower’s purposes or
needs, or that the insurance required hereunder will be adequate to protect the Borrower’s business
or interest, or that the proceeds of the Bonds will be sufficient to complete the Project.

     Section 4.5. Taxes. (A) The Borrower will pay when due all material (1) taxes,
assessments, water rates and sewer use or rental charges, (2) payments in lieu thereof which may be
required by law, and (3) governmental charges and impositions of any kind whatsoever which may now
or hereafter be lawfully assessed or levied upon the Project Realty and the Project Equipment or
any part thereof, or upon the rents, issues, or profits thereof, whether directly or indirectly.
With respect to special assessments or other governmental charges that may lawfully be paid in
installments over a period of years, the Borrower shall be obligated to pay, or cause to be paid,
only such installments as are required to be paid during the Term.

     (B) The Borrower may, at its expense and in its own name, in good faith contest any such
taxes, assessments and other charges and payments in lieu of taxes including assessments and, in
the event of such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges or payments in lieu
of taxes, including assessments so contested to remain unpaid, provided either (1) prior written
notice thereof has been given to the Authority and the Trustee and reserves satisfactory to the
Authority are maintained during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom, or (2) such
contest is conducted in full compliance with Connecticut General Statutes Chapter 203 unless, in
either case, by nonpayment of such taxes, assessments or other charges or payments, the Project or
any part thereof will be subject to loss or forfeiture, and as a result thereof a lien or charge
will be placed upon any payment pursuant to this Agreement or the value or operation of the Project
Realty and the Project Equipment will be materially impaired, in which event such taxes,
assessments or other charges or payments shall be paid forthwith. Nothing herein shall preclude
the Borrower, at its expense and in its own name and behalf, from applying for any tax exemption
allowed by the federal government, the State or any political or taxing subdivision thereof under
any existing or future provision of law which grants or may grant such tax exemption.

     Section 4.6. Insurance. (A) The Borrower shall insure the Project Realty and the
Project Equipment against loss or damage by fire, flood, lightning, windstorm, vandalism and
malicious mischief and other hazards, casualties, contingencies and extended coverage risks in such
amounts and in such

-17-

 

manner as is customary with companies in the same or similar business, and shall pay when due
the premiums thereon. In the event of loss or damage to the Project Realty or Project Equipment,
the Net Proceeds of any insurance provided under this subsection shall be applied to the manner set
forth in Article V hereof. Any excess proceeds of insurance remaining after application as
required by this Section shall be paid to the Borrower, but only if the Borrower is not in default
under this Agreement. If the Borrower is in default under this Agreement, such amounts shall be
applied as provided in Article VIII of the Indenture. At least ten days prior to the expiration of
any policy required under this Section the Borrower shall furnish evidence satisfactory to the
Authority and the Trustee that such policy has been renewed or replaced.

     (B) The Borrower further agrees that it will at all times carry public liability insurance
with respect to the Project Realty and the Project Equipment in a minimum amount of $5,000,000 with
provisions for a deductible amount not in excess of five percent of the amount of coverage
thereunder. In the event of a public liability occurrence, the Net Proceeds of the insurance
provided under this subsection shall be applied to satisfy or extinguish the liability.

     (C) As an alternative to the hazard insurance and public liability insurance requirements of
subsections (A) or (B) above the Borrower may self-insure against hazard or public liability risks
if (1) self-insurance is the Borrower’s customary method of insurance against such risks in similar
circumstances, and (2) the Borrower maintains self-insurance reserves adequate and available to
meet such risks. Amounts available under any such self-insurance arrangement upon the occurrence of
an insured event shall be applied in the same manner as the Net Proceeds of any insurance
maintained pursuant to such subsections would have been applied.

     (D) The insurance coverage required by this Section may be effected under overall blanket or
excess coverage policies of the Borrower or any affiliate and may be carried with any insurer other
than an unauthorized insurer under the Connecticut Unauthorized Insurers Act. The Borrower shall
furnish evidence satisfactory to the Authority or the Trustee, promptly upon the request of either,
that the required insurance coverage is valid and in force. The Borrower shall also give the
Trustee not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of the expiration of any insurance
coverage required by this Section then in effect.

     Section 4.7. Compliance with Law. The Borrower will observe and comply with all
material laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, and orders (including without limitation those
relating to zoning, land use, environmental protection, air, water and land pollution, wetlands,
health, equal opportunity, minimum wages, worker’s compensation and employment practices) of any
federal, state, municipal or other governmental authority relating to the Project Realty and the
Project Equipment except during any period during which the Borrower at its expense and in its name
shall be in good faith contesting its obligation to comply therewith.

     Section 4.8. Maintenance and Repair. At its own expense, the Borrower will keep and
maintain the Project Realty and the Project Equipment in accordance with sound utility operating
practice and in good condition, working order and repair, will not commit or suffer any waste
thereon, and will make all material repairs and replacements thereto which may be required in
connection therewith. Nothing in this Section 4.8 shall (1) apply to any portion of the Project
beyond its useful or economic life or (2) apply to the use and disposition by the Borrower of any
part of the Project in the ordinary course of its business.

     Section 4.9. Disposition of Project Realty by Borrower. (A) The Borrower shall not
sell, assign, encumber (other than Permitted Encumbrances), convey or otherwise dispose of its
interests in the

-18-

 

Project Realty or any part thereof during the Term without the prior written consent of the
Authority, except as permitted hereby.

     (B) The Borrower may, however, grant such rights of way or easements over, across, or under,
the Project Realty as shall be necessary or convenient for the operation or use of the Project
Realty, including but not limited to easements or rights-of-way for utility, roadway, railroad or
similar purposes in connection with the Project Realty, or for the use of the real property
adjacent to or near the Project, and owned by or leased to the Borrower, but only if such
rights-of-way or easements shall not materially or adversely affect the value and operation of the
Project. In addition, the Borrower may sell or assign, or cause to be sold or assigned, a portion
of the Project Realty or development rights in the Project Realty to the State, a municipality
within the State or a conservation organization, but only if such sale or assignment shall not
materially or adversely affect the value or operation of the Project.

     (C) In the event the Authority consents to any disposition of the Borrower’s interest in the
Project Realty, the proceeds of the disposition shall be deposited in the Redemption Account of the
Debt Service Fund for the redemption of the Bonds under the Indenture. No conveyance or release
effected under the provisions of this Section shall entitle the Borrower to any abatement or
diminution of the amounts payable hereunder or under the Note, or relieve the Borrower of the
obligation to perform all of its covenants and agreements under the Financing Documents.

     Section 4.10. Leasing of the Project Realty and the Project Equipment. The Borrower
may not lease the Project Realty or the Project Equipment to any person during the Term of this
Agreement without the prior written consent of the Authority. No lease shall relieve the Borrower
from primary liability for any of its obligations hereunder, and in the event of any such lease the
Borrower shall continue to remain primarily liable for payment of the applicable amounts specified
in Article III hereof and for performance and observance of the other agreements on its part herein
provided to be performed and observed by it to the same extent as though no lease had been made.

     Section 4.11. Project Equipment. (A) The Borrower shall have the right to install,
operate, use, remove and dispose of the Project Equipment in the normal and ordinary course of its
business operations, and shall not be required to replace any item of Project Equipment which is
discarded or sold for scrap. The Borrower shall not, however, either in one transaction or a
series of transactions sell, convey, transfer, remove or otherwise dispose of more than 20% by
value of the Project Equipment without prior notice to and the consent of the Authority, unless
such Project Equipment is replaced by property of similar value and utility.

     (B) The Borrower shall maintain with the Trustee separate and reasonably detailed descriptions
of each item of property constituting the Project Equipment. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Project Equipment list appended hereto at the date of execution and delivery of this Agreement
shall be modified to the extent required by this Section in connection with any disbursement for
Project Equipment from the Project Fund and any replacement of material items of Project Equipment
under this Section or under Section 5.2 hereof.

     Section 4.12. Borrower Contribution. The Borrower agrees to deposit with the Trustee
on the date of issuance of the Bonds a contribution in the amount of $312,375.00 (which will be
applied to the payment of certain costs and expenses incurred in connection with the issuance,

amount shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Project Fund established pursuant to Section 5.1 of
the Indenture.

or reconstructured, the Project Realty and Project Equipment to substantially its condition
immediately prior to such event or to a condition of at least equivalent value, regardless
of whether or not the proceeds of any and all policies of insurance covering such damage or
destruction, or the amount of the award or compensation or damages recovered on account of
such taking or condemnation, shall be available or sufficient to pay the cost thereof;

     (2) At its own cost, replace or relocate, or cause to be replaced or relocated, the
Project Realty and Project Equipment at its site in such fashion as to render the
replacement or relocated structures, improvements and items, machinery, equipment or other

making such repairs, restorations, reconstructions, replacements or relocations, or to reimburse
the Borrower, the Authority or the Trustee for payment therefor from time to time as provided in
the Indenture or (2) if prepayment of the loan is then permitted and the Borrower exercises its
option to prepay the loan, in the Redemption Account of the Debt Service Fund and applied to the
payment of the Note and redemption of the Bonds.

     (B) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (A) of this Section, any insurance or
condemnation proceeds attributable to improvements, machinery, equipment and other property

destruction thereof.

event the Borrower is not the surviving, resulting or transferee corporation, as the case may be,
such corporation (i) is a solvent corporation either organized under the laws of or duly qualified
to do business as a foreign corporation subject to service of process in the State and (ii) assumes
in writing all of the obligations of the Borrower herein, and under the Note.

     Section 6.2. Indemnification, Payment of Expenses, and Advances. (A) The Borrower
agrees to protect, defend and hold harmless the Authority, the State, agencies of the State,
members, servants, agents, directors, officers and employees, now or forever, of the Authority or
the State (each an “Authority Indemnified Party”), the Trustee and the Paying Agent, agents,
directors, officers and employees, now or forever, of the Trustee and the Paying Agent (each an
“Indemnified Party”), from any claim, demand, suit, action or other proceeding and any liabilities,
costs, and expenses whatsoever by any person or entity whatsoever, arising or purportedly arising
from or in connection with the Financing Documents, the Indenture, the Bonds, or the transactions
contemplated thereby or actions taken thereunder by any person (including without limitation the
filing of any information, form or statement with the Internal Revenue Service, if applicable),
except for any willful and material misrepresentation, willful misconduct or gross negligence on
the part of the Indemnified Party or the Authority Indemnified Party or any bad faith on the part
of any indemnitee other than an Authority Indemnified Party.

     The Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless any Indemnified Party against any and all
claims, demands, suits, actions or other proceedings and all liabilities, costs and expenses
whatsoever caused by any untrue statement or misleading statement or alleged untrue statement or
alleged misleading statement of a material fact contained in the written information provided by
the Borrower in connection with the issuance of the Bonds or incorporated by reference therein or
caused by any omission or alleged omission from such information of any material fact relating to
the Borrower or the Project required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements made therein in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
misleading.

     (B) The Authority and the Trustee shall not be liable for any damage or injury to the persons
or property of the Borrower or its members, directors, officers, agents, servants or employees, or
any other person who may be about the Project due to any act or omission of any person other than
the Authority or the Trustee, respectively, or their respective members, directors, officers,

-21-

 

fees and expenses, expenses or damages incurred because of any investigation, review or
lawsuit commenced by the Trustee or the Authority in good faith with respect to the Financing
Documents, the Indenture, the Bonds and the Project and the Authority or the Trustee, as the case
may be, shall promptly give written notice to the Borrower with respect thereto.

     (D) All covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Authority and the
Trustee contained herein shall be deemed to be the covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements
and obligations of the Authority and the Trustee and not of any member, director, officer or
employee of the Authority or the Trustee in its individual capacity, and no recourse shall be had
for the payment of the Bonds or for any claim based thereon or hereunder against any member,
director, officer or employee of the Authority or the Trustee or any natural person executing the
Bonds.

     (E) In case any action shall be brought against one or more of the Indemnified Parties based
upon any of the above and in respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Borrower, such
Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Borrower in writing, enclosing a copy of all papers
served, but the omission so to notify the Borrower of any such action shall not relieve it of any
liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section 6.2. In
case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the
Borrower of the commencement thereof, the Borrower shall be entitled to participate in and, to the
extent that it shall wish, to assume the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such
Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Borrower to such Indemnified Party of the Borrower’s
election so to assume the defense thereof, the Borrower shall not be liable to such Indemnified
Party for any subsequent legal or other expenses attributable to such defense, except as set forth
below, other than reasonable costs of investigation subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party
in connection with the defense thereof. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ its
own counsel in any such action, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense
of such Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of counsel by such Indemnified Party has been
authorized by the Borrower, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there
may be a conflict of interest between the Borrower and the Indemnified Party in the conduct of the
defense of such action (in which case the Borrower shall not have the right to direct the defense
of such action on behalf of the Indemnified Party); or (iii) the Borrower shall not in fact have
employed counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party to assume defense of such action.

     (F) The Borrower also agrees to pay all reasonable or necessary out-of-pocket expenses of the
Authority and the Trustee in connection with the issuance of the Bonds, the administration of the
Financing Documents and the enforcement of its rights thereunder, including without limitation the
costs of preparation and distribution of closing transcripts relating thereto.

     (G) In the event the Borrower fails to pay any amount or perform any act under the Financing
Documents, the Trustee or the Authority may pay the amount or perform the act, in which event the
costs, disbursements, expenses and reasonable counsel fees and expenses thereof, together with
interest thereon from the date the expense is paid or incurred at the prime interest rate publicly
announced from time to time by the Trustee as a commercial bank plus 1% shall be an additional
obligation hereunder payable upon demand by the Authority or the Trustee.

     (H) The Borrower shall defend, indemnify, and hold the Authority, its agents, members,
officers and employees, and the Trustee and its agents, directors, officers and employees, harmless
from and against any claims, demands, penalties, fines, liabilities, settlements, damages, costs,
or expenses of whatever kind or nature, known or unknown, contingent or otherwise, related to or in
connection with the Project, arising out of, or in any way related to, (i) the presence, disposal,
release, or threatened release of any hazardous materials, asbestos, petroleum or petroleum
by-products which are on, from, or affecting the soil, water, vegetation, buildings, personal
property, persons, animals, or otherwise, except in

-22-

 

compliance with all applicable federal, State and local laws or regulations; (ii) any personal
injury (including wrongful death) or property damage (real or personal) arising out of or related
to hazardous materials, asbestos, petroleum or petroleum by-products; (iii) any lawsuit brought or
threatened, settlement reached, or government order relating to such hazardous materials, asbestos,
petroleum or petroleum by-products and/or (iv) any violation of laws, orders, regulations,
requirements or demand of government authorities or any policies or requirements of the Authority
which are based upon or in any way related to such hazardous materials, asbestos, petroleum or
petroleum by-products including, without limitation, reasonable attorney and consultant fees,
investigation and laboratory fees, court costs, and litigation expenses. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Borrower shall have no obligation to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the
Authority or the Trustee or their respective agents, members, officers or employees under this
Section 6.2(H) in the event and to the extent that any such claims, demands, penalties, fines,
liabilities, settlements, damages, costs or other expenses arise out of or result from the willful
misconduct or gross negligence of the Authority or the Trustee or their respective agents, members,
officers or employees. The provisions of this paragraph shall be in addition to any and all other
obligations and liabilities the Borrower may have to the Authority or the Trustee at common law,
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     (I) Any obligation of the Borrower to the Authority under this Section shall be separate from
and independent of the other obligations of the Borrower hereunder, and may be enforced directly by
the Authority against the Borrower, irrespective of any action taken by or on behalf of the owners
of the Bonds.

     (J) The obligations of the Borrower under this section, notwithstanding any other provisions
contained in the Financing Documents, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and shall be
recourse to the Borrower, and for the enforcement thereof any Indemnified Party shall have recourse
to the general credit of the Borrower.

     Section 6.3. Incorporation of Tax Regulatory Agreement; Payments Upon Taxability. (A)
For purpose of this Section, the term owner means the Beneficial Owner of the Bonds so long as the
Book-Entry System is in effect.

     (B) The representations, warranties, covenants and statements of expectation of the Borrower
set forth in the Tax Regulatory Agreement are by this reference incorporated in this Agreement as
though fully set forth herein.

     (C) If any owner of the Bonds receives from the Internal Revenue Service a notice of
assessment and demand for payment with respect to interest on any Bond (except a notice and demand
based upon the assertion that the owner of the Bonds is a Substantial User or Related Person), an
appeal may be taken by the owner of the Bonds at the option of either the owner of the Bonds or the
Borrower. In either case all expenses of the appeal including reasonable counsel fees and expenses
shall be paid by the party taking such appeal, and the owner of the Bonds and the Borrower shall
cooperate and consult with each other in all matters pertaining to any such appeal, except that no
owner of the Bonds shall be required to disclose or furnish any non-publicly disclosed information,
including, without limitation, financial information and tax returns.

     (D) Not later than 180 days following a Determination of Taxability, the Borrower shall pay to
the Trustee an amount sufficient, when added to the amount then in the Debt Service Fund and
available for such purpose, to retire and redeem all Bonds then Outstanding, in accordance with
Section 2.4 of the Indenture.

-23-

 

     (E) The obligation of the Borrower to make the payments provided for in this Section shall be
absolute and unconditional, and the failure of the Authority or the Trustee to execute or deliver
or cause to be executed or delivered any documents or to take any action required under this
Agreement or otherwise shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation under this Section.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Indenture, the Borrower’s obligations
under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the Indenture.

     (F) The occurrence of a Determination of Taxability shall not be an Event of Default hereunder
but shall require only the performance of the obligations of the Borrower stated in this Section,
the breach of which shall constitute an Event of Default as provided in Section 7.1 hereof.

     Section 6.4. Public Purpose Covenants. (A) The Borrower covenants that it will
operate the Project for the purposes and in a manner consistent with its application for assistance
to the Authority. The Borrower further covenants and agrees that it will, throughout the term of
this Agreement, (1) comply with all applicable laws, regulations, ordinances, rules, and orders
relating to the Project as provided in the Financing Documents, (2) maintain the Project in
accordance with the Financing Documents, (3) not cause or permit the Project to become or remain a
public nuisance, (4) not allow any change in the nature of the occupancy, use or operation of the
Project which is substantially inconsistent with the Borrower’s application for assistance to the
Authority, except that the Borrower may, after notice to the Authority, permit any such change
which does not disqualify the Project as authorized projects under the Act as in effect on the date
hereof, and (5) except as permitted hereunder, not sell, assign, convey, further lease, sublease or
otherwise dispose of title to the Project without the prior written consent of the Authority.
Nothing in this Section is intended to require the Borrower to operate the Project in such manner
as, in the good faith judgment of the Borrower, shall materially and adversely impair the use and
operation of the Project.

     (B) A breach of any covenant contained in this Section shall constitute an Event of Default
but, in order to relieve the Authority of the consequences of unanticipated failure of
consideration, shall permit only the exercise by the Authority of the remedies provided in Section
7.3 hereof.

     Section 6.5. Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments. The Authority and the
Borrower agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be
executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements hereto and such further instruments as may
reasonably be required for correcting any inadequate or incorrect description of the Project Realty
or Project Equipment or for carrying out the intention of or facilitating the performance of this
Agreement.

     Section 6.6. Covenant by Borrower as to Compliance with Indenture. The Borrower
covenants and agrees that it will comply with the provisions of the Indenture with respect to the
Borrower and that the Trustee and the Bondholders shall have the power and authority provided in
the Indenture. The Borrower further agrees to aid in the furnishing to the Authority or the
Trustee of opinions that may be required under the Indenture. The Borrower covenants and agrees
that the Trustee shall be entitled to and shall have all the rights, including the right to enforce
against the Borrower the provisions of the Financing Documents, pertaining to the Trustee
notwithstanding the fact that the Trustee is not a party to the Financing Documents.

     Section 6.7. Assignment of Agreement or Note. (A)  The Borrower may not assign its
rights, interests or obligations hereunder or under the Note except as may be permitted pursuant to
Section 6.1(B) hereof.

-24-

 

     (B) The Authority agrees that it will not assign or transfer any of the Financing Documents or
the revenues and other receipts, funds and monies to be received thereunder during the Term except
to the Trustee as provided in this Agreement and the Indenture.

     Section 6.8. Inspection. The Authority and its duly authorized agents shall have (1)
the right at all reasonable times, and upon notice sufficient to permit the Borrower to take
actions necessary to comply with any security regulations then in effect at the Project, to enter
upon and to examine and inspect the Project Realty and the Project Equipment and (2) such rights of
access thereto as may be reasonably necessary for the proper maintenance and repair thereof in the
event of failure by the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Authority
and the Trustee shall also be permitted, at all reasonable times, to examine the books and records
of the Borrower with respect to the Project Realty and the Project Equipment.

     Section 6.9. Default Notification. Upon becoming aware of any condition or event
which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or the passage of time would constitute, an Event
of Default, the Borrower shall deliver to the Authority and the Trustee a notice stating the
existence and nature thereof and specifying the corrective steps, if any, the Borrower is taking
with respect thereto.

     Section 6.10. Covenant Against Discrimination. (A)  The Borrower in the performance
of this Agreement will not discriminate or permit discrimination against any person or group of
persons on the grounds of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, sexual orientation,
marital status, physical or learning disability, political beliefs, mental retardation or history
of mental disorder in any manner prohibited by the laws of the United States or of the State.

     (B) The Borrower will comply with the provisions of the resolution adopted by the Authority on
June 14, 1977, as amended, and the policy of the Authority implemented pursuant thereto concerning
the promotion of equal employment opportunity through affirmative action plans. The resolution
requires that all borrowers receiving financial assistance from the Authority adopt and implement
an affirmative action plan prior to the closing of the loan. The plan shall be updated annually as
long as the Bonds remain Outstanding.

     Section 6.11. Covenant to Provide Disclosure. The Borrower hereby covenants and
agrees that it will execute, comply with and carry out all of the provisions of the Disclosure
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, failure of the Borrower to
comply with the provisions of the Disclosure Agreement shall not be considered an Event of Default
hereunder; however, the Trustee may, subject to the provisions of Article IX of the Indenture (and,
at the request of the underwriter for the Bonds or the Holders of at least 25% aggregate principal
amount in Outstanding Bonds, shall), or any Bondholder or Beneficial Owner may take such actions as
may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandamus or specific performance by court
order, to cause the Borrower to comply with its obligations under this Section 6.11. For purposes
of this Section, “Beneficial Owner” means any person which (a) has the power, directly or
indirectly, to vote or consent with respect to, or to dispose of ownership of, any Bonds (including
persons holding Bonds through nominees, depositories or other intermediaries), or (b) is treated as
the owner of any Bonds for federal income tax purposes.

     Section 6.12. Negative Pledge. During the term of this Agreement, except for
Permitted Encumbrances, the Borrower will not permit, create, assume or suffer to be created or to
exist any mortgage, lien, security interest, or encumbrance of any kind upon, or pledge of, any of
the Borrower’s properties of any character, including real, personal, tangible and intangible
properties and revenues, now owned or hereafter acquired, to secure any indebtedness without
providing that the Bonds have the same security.

ARTICLE VII

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

     Section 7.1. Events of Default. Any one or more of the following shall constitute an
“Event of Default” hereunder:

     (1) Any material representation or warranty made by the Borrower in the Financing
Documents or any certificate, statement, data or information furnished in writing to the
Authority or the Trustee by the Borrower in connection with the closing of the Bonds or
included by the Borrower in its application to the Authority for assistance proves at any
time to have been incorrect in any material respect when made.

     (2) Failure by the Borrower to pay any interest, principal or premium, if any, that has
become due and payable with respect to the Bonds.

     (3) Failure by the Borrower to pay any amount, other than principal, interest or

or any other amount due and payable pursuant to the Financing Documents and the continuance
of such failure for more than thirty (30) days.

     (4) Failure by the Borrower to comply with the default notification provisions of
Section 6.9 hereof.

     (5) The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under Section 8.1(A) of the Indenture.

     (6) Failure by the Borrower to observe or perform any covenant, condition or agreement
hereunder or under the Financing Documents (other than the Disclosure Agreement) (except
those referred to above and except as provided in Section 6.3(F) hereof with respect to the
occurrence of a Determination of Taxability which, in and of itself, shall not constitute an
Event of Default hereunder but shall require only the performance of the obligations of the
Borrower stated in Section 6.3(F) hereof, the breach of which shall constitute an Event of
Default hereunder) and (a) continuance of such failure for a period of sixty (60) days after
receipt by the Borrower of written notice specifying the nature of such failure or (b) if by
reason of the nature of such failure the same cannot be remedied within the sixty-day
period, the Borrower fails to proceed with reasonable diligence after receipt of the notice
to cure the failure.

     (7) The Borrower shall (a) apply for or consent to the appointment of a receiver,
trustee, liquidator or custodian or the like of itself or of its property, (b) admit in
writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, (c) make a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, (d) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or (e)
commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws of the United States of America
or file a voluntary petition or answer seeking reorganization, an arrangement with creditors
or an order for relief or seeking to take advantage of any insolvency law or file an answer
admitting the material allegations of a petition filed against it in any bankruptcy,
reorganization or insolvency proceeding; or corporate action shall be taken by it for the
purpose of effecting any of the foregoing; or if without the application, approval or
consent of the Borrower, a proceeding shall be instituted in any court of competent
jurisdiction, seeking in respect of the Borrower an adjudication in bankruptcy,
reorganization, dissolution, winding up, liquidation, a composition or arrangement with
creditors, a readjustment of debts, the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator or
custodian or the like of the Borrower or of all or any substantial part of its assets, or
other like relief in respect thereof under any bankruptcy or insolvency law, and, if such
proceeding is being contested by the

-26-

 

Borrower in good faith, the same shall continue undismissed, or pending and unstayed,
for any period of 75 consecutive days.

     (8) Failure by the Borrower to make when due any payment of principal or interest
required under the provisions of any loan agreement (after the expiration of any applicable
grace periods) to which the Authority and the Borrower are parties.

     Section 7.2. Remedies on Default. (A)  Except as provided in Section 6.4(B) hereof,
whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred, the Trustee, or the Authority where so provided
herein, may take any one or more of the following actions:

     (1) The Trustee, as and to the extent provided in Article VIII of the Indenture, may
cause all amounts payable under the Financing Documents to be immediately due and payable
without notice or demand of any kind, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and
payable.

     (2) The Authority, without the consent of the Trustee or any Bondholder, may proceed to
enforce the obligations of the Borrower to the Authority under this Agreement.

     (3) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or in equity it may have to collect the
amounts then due and thereafter to become due, or to enforce the performance or observance
of the obligations, agreements, and covenants of the Borrower under the Financing Documents.

     (4) The Trustee may exercise any and all rights it may have under the Financing
Documents.

     (B) In the event that any Event of Default or any proceeding taken by the Authority (or by the
Trustee on behalf of the Authority) thereon shall be waived or determined adversely to the
Authority, then the Event of Default shall be annulled and the Authority and the Borrower shall be
restored to their former rights hereunder, but no such waiver or determination shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     Section 7.3. Remedies on Public Purpose Default. (A) If the Borrower shall default in
the performance of any of the covenants contained in Section 6.4 hereof, and in the event that such
default shall also constitute an Event of Default under Section 7.1 hereof, such Event of Default
shall continue for thirty (30) days without the Trustee or Bondholders instituting the remedial
steps provided for in subsection 7.2(A)(1) hereof or subsection 8.1(B) of the Indenture, then, in
either case, the Authority may send a notice to the Trustee calling for the acceleration of all of
the Borrower’s obligations under the Financing Documents and for the redemption of all of the Bonds
then Outstanding. Any such notice shall set forth in reasonable detail the default by the Borrower
giving rise thereto and shall specify the date upon which (1) notice of Bond redemption is to be
given by the Trustee (which shall be not less than one hundred twenty days from the date of the
Authority’s determination notice) and (2) the redemption of the Bonds is to occur (which shall be
at least thirty (30) days after notice of redemption is given by the Trustee). Within thirty (30)
days following receipt of the notice, the Trustee shall forward a copy thereof to the Borrower and
each registered Bondholder, together with a copy of Sections 6.4 and 7.3 of this Agreement.

     (B) If, within sixty (60) days after the mailing of notice by the Trustee to the Borrower and
the Bondholders, the Trustee receives no objection (as hereinbelow provided) to such redemption,
the Trustee shall give such notice and effect the acceleration of the Borrower’s obligations and
the redemption of all Outstanding Bonds in accordance with the Authority’s notice and pursuant to
Section

-27-

 

2.4(F) of the Indenture. If, however, the Borrower or any Bondholder disputes the existence
of such Event of Default, the Borrower or such Bondholder shall mail a notice to the Authority and
the Trustee containing a statement of such person’s belief with respect to the claimed default.
The receipt of such notice by the Trustee shall serve to suspend the proceedings for redemption of
Bonds initiated by the Authority’s notice of default.

     (C) If upon receipt of such notice from the Borrower or any Bondholder, the Authority
determines to affirm its earlier determination, either the Borrower or any Bondholder shall have
the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin the proceedings for
the redemption of such Bonds, and during the pendency of any such action the redemption proceedings
shall be suspended. Neither the Authority, the Borrower nor any Bondholder shall be responsible
for any costs, fees, expenses, or reasonable counsel fees incurred by any other party in connection
with any such action, other than the Trustee (whose costs, fees and expenses shall be paid by the
Borrower). In the event the Authority is successful in such a proceeding, and a final judgment is
rendered which is not appealable or appealed within sixty (60) days thereafter finding the Borrower
in default under Section 6.4 hereof, the Trustee shall, promptly upon receipt of notice from the
Authority of the entry of the decision, give notice of the redemption of all Outstanding Bonds
under Section 6.3 of the Indenture, and redeem all such Bonds upon the date fixed for redemption in
the notice (which shall be no more than thirty-five (35) days after the notice is given). In the
event the Borrower or such Bondholders are successful in such a proceeding, and a final judgment is
rendered which is not appealable or appealed within sixty (60) days thereafter finding the Borrower
not to be in default under Section 6.4 hereof, all proceedings for the redemption of Bonds
commenced under this Section shall be terminated. No such judgment, however, shall prejudice the
exercise of the Authority’s rights under this Section upon the occurrence of such subsequent
failure of performance under Section 6.4 hereof.

     (D) Within fifteen (15) days of the date the Trustee gives notice of any redemption of Bonds
pursuant to Section 7.3(B) above and subject to the last sentence of Section 7.3(B) above, the
Borrower shall pay as a final loan payment a sum sufficient, together with other funds on deposit
with the Trustee and available for such purpose, to redeem all Bonds then Outstanding under the
Indenture at 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the redemption date.
The Borrower shall also pay or provide for all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses of the
Trustee and any Paying Agent accrued and to accrue through the date of redemption of all such
Bonds.

     (E) Nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to prevent the Authority or the Borrower
from seeking equitable relief if it asserts or disputes, as the case may be, the existence of an
event of a public purpose default.

     Section 7.4. No Duty to Mitigate Damages. Unless otherwise required by law, neither
the Authority, the Trustee nor any Bondholder shall be obligated to do any act whatsoever or
exercise any diligence whatsoever to mitigate the damages to the Borrower if an Event of Default
shall occur.

     Section 7.5. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Authority or the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies but
each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every remedy given under

ARTICLE VIII

PREPAYMENT PROVISIONS

     Section 8.1. Optional Prepayment. (A)  The Borrower shall have, and is hereby
granted, the option to prepay its loan obligation at any time, and from time to time, on or after
December 1, 2012 and to cause the corresponding optional redemption of the Bonds pursuant to
Section 2.4(A) of the Indenture at such times, in such amounts, and with such premium, if any, for
such optional redemption as set forth in the form of the Bond, by delivering a written notice to
the Trustee in accordance with Section 8.2 hereof, with a copy to the Authority, setting forth the
amount to be prepaid, the amount of Bonds requested to be redeemed with the proceeds of such
prepayment, and the date on which such Bonds are to be redeemed. Such prepayment must be
sufficient to provide monies for the payment of interest and Redemption Price in accordance with
the terms of the Bonds requested to be redeemed with such prepayment and all other amounts then due
under the Financing Documents. In the event of any complete prepayment of its loan obligation, the
Borrower shall, at the time of such prepayment, also pay or provide for the payment of all
reasonable or necessary fees and expenses of the Authority, the Trustee and the Paying Agent
accrued and to accrue through the final payment of all the Bonds. Any such prepayments shall be
applied to the redemption of Bonds in the manner provided in Section 6.2 of the Indenture, and
credited against payments due hereunder in the same manner.

     (B) The Borrower shall have, and is hereby granted, the option to prepay its loan obligation
in full at any time without premium if any of the following events shall have occurred, as
evidenced in each case by the filing with the Trustee of a certificate of an Authorized
Representative of the Borrower to the effect that one of such events has occurred and is
continuing, and describing the same:

     (1) The Project shall have been damaged or destroyed to such extent that (a) the
Project cannot be reasonably restored within a period of six (6) months from the date of
such damage or destruction to the condition thereof immediately preceding such damage or
destruction, or (b) the Borrower is thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from
carrying on its normal operation of the Project for a period of six (6) months from the date
of such damage or destruction.

     (2) Title to or the temporary use of all or substantially all of the Project shall have
been taken or condemned by a competent authority, which taking or condemnation results or is
likely to result in the Borrower being thereby prevented or likely to be prevented from
carrying on its normal operation of the Project for a period of six (6) months.

     (3) A change in the Constitution of the State or of the United States of America or
legislative or executive action (whether local, state, or federal) or a final decree,
judgment or order of any court or administrative body (whether local, state, or federal)
that causes this Agreement to become void or unenforceable or impossible of performance in
accordance with the intent and purpose of the parties as expressed herein or, imposes
unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities upon the Borrower with respect to the Project
or the operation thereof.

     (4) The operation of any of the Project shall have been enjoined or shall otherwise
have been prohibited by any order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or of any local,
state, or federal regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body for a
period of not less than six months.

     (5) Changes in the economic availability of raw materials, operating supplies or
facilities necessary for the operation of the Project or technological or other changes
shall have occurred which the Borrower cannot reasonably overcome or control and which in
the

-30-

 

Borrower’s reasonable judgment renders the Project unsuitable or uneconomic for the
purposes herein specified or any tax shall be levied upon payments due under the Note in an
amount which the Borrower in its reasonable judgment believes imposes an unreasonable burden
upon the Borrower.

In any such case the final loan payment shall be a sum sufficient, together with other funds
deposited with Trustee and available for such purpose, to redeem all Bonds then Outstanding under
the Indenture at the redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest
to the redemption date and all other amounts then due under the Financing Documents, and the
Borrower shall also pay or provide for all reasonable or necessary fees and expenses of the
Authority, the Trustee and Paying Agent accrued and to accrue through final payment for the Bonds.
The Borrower shall deliver a written notice to the Trustee, with a copy to the Authority,
requesting the redemption of the Bonds under the Indenture, which notice shall have attached
thereto the applicable certificate of the Authorized Representative of the Borrower.

     In addition, the Borrower may prepay all or a portion of its loan obligation in order to
preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of
Section 2.4(G) of the Indenture.

     Section 8.2. Notices of Prepayment. To exercise any options granted in this Article,
or to consummate the acceleration of the loan payments as set forth in this Article, the written
notice to the Trustee shall be signed by an Authorized Representative of the Borrower and shall
specify therein the date of prepayment, which date shall be not less than thirty-five days nor more
than ninety days from the date the notice is mailed. A duplicate copy of any written notice
hereunder shall also be filed with the Authority by the Borrower.

     Section 8.3. Mandatory Prepayment on Taxability and Receipt of Request for Redemption of a
Deceased Holder’s Bonds. The Borrower shall pay or cause the prepayment of all or a portion
of its loan obligation, as circumstances and the provisions of Section 2.4 of the Indenture shall
warrant, following (i) a Determination of Taxability in the manner provided in Section 6.3 of this
Agreement, and (ii) receipt by the Trustee of a request for redemption of a deceased owners’ Bonds
in accordance with Section 2.4(D) of the Indenture.

ARTICLE IX

GENERAL

     Section 9.1. Indenture. (A) Monies received from the sale of the Bonds and all loan
payments made by the Borrower and all other monies received by the Authority or the Trustee under

expressed and specified in the Indenture and in the Bonds and as provided in this Agreement.

     (B) The Borrower shall have and may exercise all the rights, powers and authority given the
Borrower in the Indenture and in the Bonds, and the Indenture and the Bonds shall not be modified,
altered or amended in any manner which adversely affects such rights, powers and authority or
otherwise adversely affects the Borrower without the prior written consent of the Borrower.

     Section 9.2. Benefit of and Enforcement by Bondholders. The Authority and the
Borrower agree that this Agreement is executed in part to induce the purchase by others of the
Bonds and for the further securing of the Bonds, and accordingly that all covenants and agreements
on the part of the Authority and the Borrower as to the amounts payable with respect to the Bonds
hereunder are hereby declared to be for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds
and may be enforced as provided in the Indenture on behalf of the Bondholders by the Trustee.

     Section 9.3. Force Majeure. In case by reason of force majeure either party hereto

particulars of such force majeure in writing to the other party within a reasonable time after
occurrence of the event or cause relied on, the obligations of the party giving such notice, other
than the obligation of the Borrower to make the payments required under the terms hereof or of the
Note, so far as they are affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended during the continuance
of the inability then claimed which shall include a reasonable time for the removal of the effect
thereof, but for no longer period, and such parties shall endeavor to remove or overcome such
inability with all reasonable dispatch. The term “force majeure”, as employed herein, means acts

control of the party claiming such inability. It is understood and agreed that the settlement of
existing or impending strikes, lockouts or other industrial disturbances shall be entirely within
the discretion of the party having the difficulty and that the above requirements that any force
majeure shall be reasonably beyond the control of the party and shall be remedied with all
reasonable dispatch shall be deemed to be fulfilled even though such existing or impending strikes,
lockouts and other industrial disturbances may not be settled and could have been settled by
acceding to the demands of the opposing person or persons.

     Section 9.4. Amendments. This Agreement may be amended only with the concurring
written consent of the Trustee and, if required by the Indenture, of the owners of the Bonds given

the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement to the extent
that any of the provisions hereof relate to or provide rights to the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to the provisions thereof, payments hereon are to be
made at the corporate trust office of U.S. Bank National Association in Hartford, Connecticut, or

     THIS INDENTURE OF TRUST, made and dated as of December 1, 2007, by and between the CONNECTICUT
DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, a body corporate and politic constituting a public instrumentality and
political subdivision of the State of Connecticut, and U.S. BANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, a national
banking association organized, existing and authorized to accept and execute trusts of the
character herein set out under and by virtue of the laws of the United States of America, with a
corporate trust office located in Hartford, Connecticut, as Trustee,

WITNESSETH THAT:

     WHEREAS, the State Commerce Act, constituting Connecticut General Statutes, Sections 32-1a
through 32-23zz, as amended (the “Act”), declares that there is a continuing need in the State (1)
for industrial development and activity to provide and maintain employment and tax revenues and to
control, abate and prevent pollution to protect the public health and safety, (2) for the
development of recreation facilities to promote tourism, provide and maintain employment and tax
revenues, and promote the public welfare, (3) for the development of commercial and retail sales
and service facilities in urban areas to provide and maintain construction and permanent employment
and tax revenues, to improve conditions of deteriorated physical development, slow economic growth
and eroded financial health of the public and private sectors in urban areas and to revitalize the
economy of urban areas, and (4) for assistance to public service businesses providing
transportation and utility services in the State, and that the availability of financial assistance
and suitable facilities are important inducements to industrial and commercial enterprises to
remain or locate in the State and to provide industrial, recreation, urban and public service
projects; and

     WHEREAS, the Act provides that (1) the term “project” as used therein means any facility,
plant, works, system, building, structure, utility, fixture or other real property improvement
located in the State, and the land on which it is located or which is reasonably necessary in
connection therewith, which is of a nature or which is to be used or occupied by any person for
purposes which would constitute it as an economic development project, recreation project, urban
project, public service project or health care project, and any real property improvement
reasonably related thereto, and (2) a project may also include or consist exclusively of machinery,
equipment or fixtures; and

     WHEREAS, the Act provides that the Authority shall have power to determine the location and
character of, and extend credit or make loans to any person for the planning, designing, acquiring,
improving and equipping of, a project which may be secured by loan, lease or sale agreements,
contracts and other instruments, upon such terms and conditions as the Authority shall determine to
be reasonable, to require the inclusion in any contract, loan agreement or other instrument of such
provisions for the construction, use, operation, maintenance and financing of the project as the
Authority may deem necessary or desirable, to issue its bonds for such purposes, subject to the
approval of the Treasurer of the State, and, as security for the payment of the principal or
redemption price, if any, of and interest on any such bonds, to pledge or assign such a loan, lease
or sale agreement and the revenues and receipts derived by the Authority from such a project; and

     WHEREAS, by resolution adopted on April 18, 2007, in furtherance of the purposes of the Act,
the Authority has accepted the application of The Connecticut Water Company (the “Borrower”) for
assistance in the financing of various capital projects located in the State of Connecticut; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrower currently owns certain existing facilities within certain municipalities
in the State and at this time requests assistance in the design, acquisition, installation,
improvement and construction of certain facilities consisting of water treatment and storage
facilities, transmission and distribution mains, service lines, meters, hydrants and pumping
equipment for the purpose of supplying safe potable water to the general public within the
Borrower’s service area; and

 

 

     WHEREAS, the Authority has by a further resolution adopted on October 17, 2007 authorized the
issuance of not to exceed $15,000,000 principal amount of its Water Facilities Revenue Bonds (The
Connecticut Water Company Project — 2007A Series) for the purpose of providing funds for the
Project; and

     WHEREAS, the Authority has determined that the issuance, sale and delivery of the Bonds, as
hereinafter provided, is needed to finance the cost of the Project, and concurrently herewith the
Authority and the Borrower have entered into a Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2007,
providing for a loan by the Authority to the Borrower for such purpose in an aggregate amount equal
to the principal amount of the Bonds; and

     WHEREAS, the Connecticut Department of Public Utility Control (the “DPUC”) has approved the
issuance of the Note; and

     WHEREAS, the Bonds shall be special obligations of the Authority, payable solely out of the
revenues and other receipts, funds or monies derived by the Authority under the Agreement or the
Indenture and from any amounts otherwise available under this Indenture for the payment of the
Bonds; and

     WHEREAS, the Bonds are to be originally issued as fully registered bonds and such Bonds and
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be endorsed thereon shall be in substantially the
following form, with appropriate variations, omissions and insertions as permitted or required by
this Indenture, to wit:

MATURITY DATE: December 1, 2037

INTEREST PAYMENT DATES: June 1 and December 1

INTEREST RATE: 5.00%

REGISTERED OWNER: CEDE & CO.

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $15,000,000.00***

CUSIP NUMBER: 207900 CC3

     CONNECTICUT DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY (the “Authority”), a body corporate and politic constituting
a public instrumentality and political subdivision of the State of Connecticut (the “State”), for
value received, hereby promises to pay to the REGISTERED OWNER or registered assigns, on the
MATURITY DATE, solely from the sources and in the manner hereinafter provided, upon presentation
and surrender hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America, the PRINCIPAL AMOUNT and in
like manner to pay interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof until the Authority’s
obligation with respect to the payment of such sum shall be discharged. Interest shall be payable
(computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) from the most recent
INTEREST PAYMENT DATE, to which interest has been paid or duly provided for or, if no interest has
been paid, from the DATE OF THIS BOND at the INTEREST RATE per annum, payable semi-annually on the
INTEREST PAYMENT DATES until the date on which this bond becomes due, whether at maturity or by
acceleration or redemption. From and after that date, any unpaid principal will bear interest at
the same rate until paid or duly provided for.

     Payment of Principal and Interest. The principal and premium, if any, of this Bond is
payable to the REGISTERED OWNER hereof but only upon presentation and surrender of this bond at the
corporate trust office of U.S. Bank National Association, as Paying Agent (with its successors, the
“Paying Agent”). Interest is payable by check or draft mailed by the Paying Agent to the
REGISTERED OWNER of this bond (or of one or more predecessor or successor Bonds (as defined
below)), determined as of the close of business on the applicable record date, at its address as
shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent. If any payment, redemption or
maturity date for principal, premium or interest shall not be a Business Day then the payment
thereof may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on the specified payment date and no interest shall accrue for the

-3-

 

period after the specified payment date. Payment shall be in any coin or currency of the
United States of America, which, on the respective dates of payment thereof, is legal tender for
the payment of public and private debts.

     The record date for payment of interest is the fifteenth day of the month immediately
preceding each INTEREST PAYMENT DATE, provided that, with respect to overdue interest or interest
payable on redemption of this bond other than on an INTEREST PAYMENT DATE or interest on any
overdue amount, the Trustee (as defined below) may establish a special record date. The special
record date may be not more than thirty (30) days before the date set for payment. The Paying
Agent will mail notice of a special record date to the registered owners of the Bonds (the
“Bondholders”) at least ten (10) days before the special record date. The Paying Agent will
promptly certify to the Authority and the Trustee that it has mailed such notice to all
Bondholders, and such certificate will be conclusive evidence that such notice was given in the
manner required hereby.

     Authorization and Purpose. This bond is one of an authorized issue of Bonds of the
Authority in the aggregate principal amount of $15,000,000 designated: Water Facilities Revenue
Bonds (The Connecticut Water Company Project — 2007A Series) (the “Bonds”) which are issued for the
purpose of providing The Connecticut Water Company (the “Borrower”), a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Connecticut, with funds for the purpose of financing
various capital improvements constituting a portion of the Borrower’s existing water system (the
“Project”), and paying necessary expenses incidental thereto. The Bonds are issued pursuant to the
State Commerce Act, constituting Connecticut General Statutes, Sections 32-1a through 32-23zz, as
amended, a resolution adopted by the Authority on October 17, 2007 and an Indenture of Trust, dated
as of December 1, 2007 (which Indenture as from time to time amended and supplemented is herein
referred to as the “Indenture”), duly executed and delivered by the Authority to U.S. Bank National
Association, as trustee (with its successors, the “Trustee”), and are equally and ratably secured
by and entitled to the protection of the Indenture, which is on file in the office of the Trustee.

     Pledge and Security. Pursuant to the Indenture, the Authority has assigned to the
Trustee all of its right, title and interest in and to a Loan Agreement, dated as of December 1,
2007, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time (the “Agreement”), between the
Authority and the Borrower, and the Note evidencing the Borrower’s obligations under the Agreement
(except for certain enforcement and indemnification rights which are reserved in the Indenture),
including all rights to receive loan payments sufficient to pay the principal and premium if any,
of and interest and all other amounts due on the Bonds as the same become due, to be made by the
Borrower pursuant to the Agreement. The Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which
the Authority will provide for the financing of the Project and under which the Borrower will use
and occupy the Project and the Borrower will make loan payments to the Authority in such amounts as
are necessary to pay the principal of, premium if any, and interest on the Bonds. Reference is
hereby made to the Indenture for the definition of any capitalized word or term used but not
defined herein and for a description of the property pledged, assigned and otherwise available for
the payment of the Bonds, the provisions, among others, with respect to the nature and extent of
the security, the rights, duties and obligations of the Authority, the Trustee and the owners of
the Bonds, and the terms upon which the Bonds are issued and secured, and the holders of the Bonds
are deemed to assent to the provisions of the Indenture by the acceptance of this bond.

     Event of Default. In case any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
principal amount of this bond together with accrued interest may be declared due and payable in the
manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.

     General Optional Redemption. The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity
from time to time pursuant to the Indenture at the option of the Authority, which option shall be
exercised at the

-4-

 

direction of the Borrower, as a whole or in part on any date on or after December 1, 2012, at
a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
redemption date.

     Extraordinary Optional Redemption. In addition, at the option of the Authority, which
option shall be exercised upon the giving of notice by the Borrower of its election to redeem Bonds
following completion of the Project in accordance with the Indenture or its intention to prepay
amounts due under the Agreement, the Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at a
Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of
redemption (a) in part, on any date, to the extent that excess Bond proceeds are transferred to the
Redemption Account from the Project Fund in accordance with Section 5.2(F) of the Indenture, or (b)
as a whole, on any date, if any one or more of the events of casualty to or condemnation of the
Project or change in law or certain economic events affecting the Project specified in subsection
8.1(B) of the Agreement shall have occurred, as evidenced in each case by the filing of a
certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Borrower.

     Mandatory Taxability Redemption. In the event of a Determination of Taxability, the
Bonds shall be redeemed on any day selected by the Borrower that is not more than 180 days after
the occurrence of such Determination of Taxability as provided in the Indenture, at the Redemption
Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of
redemption. Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less than forty-five (45)
days prior to the redemption date the Borrower delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than all of the
Bonds will preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding subsequent
to such redemption.

     Redemption (or Purchase) by the Borrower in the Event of Death of a Beneficial Owner.
Unless the Bonds have been declared due and payable prior to their maturity by reason of an Event
of Default, the Representative (as hereinafter defined) of a deceased Beneficial Owner (as
hereinafter defined) who has owned (or whose estate has owned) the Bonds for a period of at least
six months prior to any request for redemption, has the right after December 1, 2009, to request
redemption prior to stated maturity of all or part of such deceased Beneficial Owner’s interest in
the Bonds, and the Borrower will redeem (or will cause the Authority to redeem) the same subject to
the limitations that the Borrower will not be obligated to redeem (or cause to be redeemed), during
the period from December 1, 2009, through and including December 1, 2010, (the “Initial Period”),
and during any twelve-month period which ends on and includes each December 1 thereafter (each such
twelve-month period being hereinafter referred to as a “Subsequent Period”), (i) on behalf of a
deceased Beneficial Owner any interest in the Bonds which exceeds $25,000 principal amount (the
“Individual Limitation”) or (ii) interests in the Bonds exceeding $300,000 in aggregate principal
amount (the “Annual Limitation”). A request for redemption may be initiated by the Representative
of a deceased Beneficial Owner at any time and in any principal amount.

     The Borrower may, at its option, redeem (or cause to be redeemed) interests of any deceased
Beneficial Owner in the Bonds during the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in excess of the
Individual Limitation. Any such redemption, to the extent that it exceeds the Individual
Limitation for any deceased Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the
Annual Limitation for such Initial Period or such Subsequent Period, as the case may be, or for any
succeeding Subsequent Period. The Borrower may, at its option, redeem (or cause to be redeemed)
interests of deceased Beneficial Owners in the Bonds, during the Initial Period or any Subsequent
Period in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the Annual Limitation. Any such redemption, to
the extent it exceeds the Annual Limitation shall not reduce the Annual Limitation for any
Subsequent Period. Upon any determination by the Borrower to redeem (or cause to be redeemed)
Bonds in excess of the Individual Limitation or the Annual Limitation, Bonds so redeemed shall be
redeemed in the order of the receipt of Redemption Requests (as hereinafter defined) by the
Trustee.

-5-

 

     A request for redemption of an interest in the Bonds may be initiated by the personal
representative or other person authorized to represent the estate of the deceased Beneficial Owner
or by a surviving joint tenant(s) or tenant(s) by the entirety or the trustee of a trust (each, a
“Representative”). The Representative shall deliver a request to the Participant (hereinafter
defined) through whom the deceased Beneficial Owner owned such interest, in form satisfactory to
the Participant, together with evidence of the death of the Beneficial Owner, evidence of the
authority of the Representative satisfactory to the Participant, such waivers, notices or
certificates as may be required under applicable state or federal law and such other evidence of
the right to such redemption as the Participant shall require. The request shall specify the
principal amount of the interest in the Bonds to be redeemed. The Participant shall thereupon
deliver to the Depository a request for redemption substantially in the form attached as Appendix B
to the Indenture (a “Redemption Request”). The Depository will, on receipt thereof, forward the
same to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain records with respect to Redemption Requests
received by it including date of receipt, the name of the Participant filing the Redemption Request
and the status of each such Redemption Request with respect to the Individual Limitation or the
Annual Limitation. The Trustee will immediately forward a copy of each Redemption Request it
receives, together with the information regarding the eligibility thereof with respect to the
Individual Limitation or the Annual Limitation with the Borrower. The Depository, the Authority,
the Borrower and the Trustee may conclusively assume, without independent investigation, that the
statements contained in each Redemption Request are true and correct and shall have no
responsibility for reviewing any documents submitted to the Participant by the Representative or
for determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the interest in
the Bonds to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized
to request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner.

     Subject to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation, the Borrower will, upon
receipt of a Redemption Request, redeem (or cause to be redeemed) the interest of such deceased
Beneficial Owner in the Bonds on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30 days
following receipt by the Borrower of the Redemption Request from the Trustee. If Redemption
Requests exceed the aggregate principal amount of interests in Bonds required to be redeemed during
the Initial Period or during any Subsequent Period, then such excess Redemption Requests will be
applied in the order received by the Trustee to successive Subsequent Periods, regardless of the
number of Subsequent Periods required to redeem such interests. The Borrower may, at any time,
notify the Trustee that it will redeem (or cause to be redeemed), on the next interest payment date
occurring not less than 30 days thereafter, all or any such lesser amount of Bonds for which
Redemption Requests have been received but which are not then eligible for redemption by reason of
the Individual Limitation or the Annual Limitation. Any Bonds so redeemed shall be redeemed in the
order of receipt of Redemption Requests by the Trustee.

     The price to be paid by the Borrower for the Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption
Request is 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of
payment. Subject to arrangements with the Depository, payment for interests in the Bonds which are
to be redeemed shall be made to the Depository upon presentation of Bonds to the Trustee for
redemption in the aggregate principal amount specified in the Redemption Requests submitted to the
Trustee by the Depository which are to be fulfilled in connection with such payment. The principal
amount of any Bonds acquired or redeemed by or at the direction of the Borrower other than by
redemption at the option of any Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner pursuant to this
section shall not be included in the computation of either the Individual Limitation and the Annual
Limitation for the Initial Period or for any Subsequent Period.

     For purposes of this section, a “Beneficial Owner” means the Person who has the right to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a Bond and the right to receive the proceeds
therefrom, as well as the interest and principal payable to the holder thereof. In general, a
determination of beneficial

-6-

 

ownership in the Bonds will be subject to the rules, regulations and procedures governing the
Depository and institutions that have accounts with the Depository or a nominee thereof
(“Participants”).

     For purposes of this section, an interest in a Bond held in tenancy by the entirety, joint
tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single Beneficial Owner and the
death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the death of a
Beneficial Owner. The death of a person who, during his lifetime, was entitled to substantially
all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner of an interest in the Bonds will be deemed the death of the
Beneficial Owner, regardless of the recordation of such interest on the records of the Participant,
if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant. Such interests shall be
deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, community property or other similar joint ownership
arrangements, including individual retirement accounts or Keogh [H.R. 10] plans maintained solely
by or for the decedent or by or for the decedent and any spouse, and trust and certain other
arrangements where the decedent has the right to receive all or a portion of the income and such
person has substantially all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner during such person’s lifetime.

     In the case of a Redemption Request which is presented on behalf of a deceased Beneficial
Owner and which has not been fulfilled at the time the Borrower gives notice of its election to
redeem the Bonds, the Bonds which are the subject of such pending Redemption Request shall be
redeemed prior to any other Bonds.

     Any Redemption Request may be withdrawn by the person(s) presenting the same upon delivery of
a written request for such withdrawal given by the Participant on behalf of such person to the
Depository and by the Depository to the Trustee not less than 60 days prior to the interest payment
date on which such Bonds are eligible for redemption.

     The Borrower may, at its option, purchase any Bonds for which Redemption Requests have been
received in lieu of redeeming (or causing the redemption of) such Bonds. Any Bonds so purchased by
the Borrower shall either be reoffered for sale and sold within 180 days after the date of purchase
or presented to the Trustee for redemption and cancellation. The Trustee shall have no duty to
monitor or enforce the Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph.

     During such time or times as the Bonds are not represented by a Global Security and are issued
in definitive form, all references in this Section to Participants and the Depository, including
the Depository’s governing rules, regulations and procedures shall be deemed deleted, all
determinations which under this section the Participants are required to make shall be made by the
Borrower (including, without limitation, determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the
Beneficial Owner of the interest in the Bonds to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the
Representative is duly authorized to request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial
Owner), all Redemption Requests, to be effective, shall be delivered by the Representative to the
Trustee, with a copy to the Borrower, and shall be in the form of a Redemption Request (with
appropriate changes to reflect the fact that such Redemption Request is being executed by a
Representative) and, in addition to all documents that are otherwise required to accompany a
Redemption Request, shall be accompanied by the Bond that is the subject of such request.

     Optional Public Purpose Redemption. If the Borrower fails to perform its obligations
under Section 6.4 of the Agreement, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity as a
whole on any date at the option of the Authority in accordance with Section 7.3 of the Agreement,
at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
date of redemption.

-7-

 

     Extraordinary Optional Redemption Without Premium to Preserve Tax Exempt Status of the
Bonds. The Bonds shall be subject to extraordinary optional redemption by the Authority, at
the direction of the Borrower, in whole or in part on any date at a Redemption Price equal to 100%
of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption,
and without premium, if the Borrower shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Authority an
opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Authority substantially to the effect that
(i) a failure so to redeem the Bonds (or the relevant portion thereof) may adversely affect the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the holders pursuant to Section 103 of
the Code, and (ii) redemption of Bonds in the amount set forth in such opinion (but in no smaller
amount than that set forth in such opinion) would permit the continuance of any exclusion so
afforded under Section 103 of the Code.

     Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. If less than all of the Outstanding Bonds are to
be called for redemption, the Bonds (or portions thereof) to be redeemed shall be selected as
provided in the Indenture.

     Notice of Redemption. In the event this bond is selected for redemption, notice
(which notice may state that it is subject to the receipt of the redemption moneys by the Trustee
on or before the date fixed for redemption and which notice shall be of no effect unless such
moneys are so received on or before such date) will be mailed no more than forty-five (45) days nor
less than thirty (30) days prior to the redemption date to the REGISTERED OWNER at its address
shown on the registration books maintained by the Paying Agent. Failure to mail notice to the
owner of any other Bond or any defect in the notice to such an owner shall not affect the
redemption of this bond.

     If this bond is of a denomination in excess of five thousand dollars ($5,000), portions of the
principal amount in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000) or any multiple thereof may be
redeemed. If less than all of the principal amount is to be redeemed, upon surrender of this bond
to the Paying Agent, there will be issued to the REGISTERED OWNER, without charge, a new Bond or
Bonds, at the option of the REGISTERED OWNER, for the unredeemed principal amount.

     Notice of redemption having been duly mailed, and moneys for the redemption having been
deposited with the Paying Agent, this bond, or the portion called for redemption, will become due
and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price from and after the date fixed
for redemption, interest on this bond (or such portion) will no longer accrue.

     Transfer of Bonds. This bond is transferable by the REGISTERED OWNER, in person or by
its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Paying Agent, upon surrender of this
bond to the Paying Agent for cancellation. Upon the transfer, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized
denominations of the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee at the same
office. This bond may also be exchanged at the office of the Paying Agent for a new Bond or Bonds
in authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount without transfer to a new
registered owner. Exchanges and transfers will be without expense to the owner except for
applicable taxes, fees or other governmental charges, if any, and a sum sufficient to pay the cost
of preparing and delivering each new Bond issued upon such transfer. The Paying Agent will not be
required to make an exchange or transfer of this bond (a) during the fifteen (15) days preceding
any date fixed for selection for redemption if this bond (or any portion thereof) is eligible to be
selected for redemption or (b) if this bond is selected, called or being called for redemption in
whole or in part, except in the case of a bond to be redeemed in part, the portion not to be
redeemed.

     Amendment of Indenture. The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Authority
and the rights of the owners of the Bonds at any time by the Authority with the consent of the
owners of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding
thereunder. Any such consent shall be

conclusive and binding upon each such owner and upon all future owners of each Bond and of any
such Bond issued upon the transfer thereof, whether or not notation of such consent is made
thereon. The Indenture also permits the amendment thereof by the Authority but without the consent
of the owners of the Bonds for certain specified purposes.

     Limitation on Bondholder Enforcement Rights. The owner of this bond shall have no
right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture, to institute action to enforce the provisions and
covenants thereof or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect
thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.

     Special Obligations of the Authority. This bond and the issue of which it forms a
part are special obligations of the Authority, payable solely out of the revenues or other
receipts, funds or moneys of the Authority pledged under the Indenture and from any amounts
otherwise available under the Indenture for the payment of the Bonds. Neither the State nor any
municipality thereof shall be obligated to pay the principal or redemption price, if any, of or
interest on this bond and neither the faith and credit nor taxing power of the State or any
municipality thereof is pledged to such payment. The Bonds do not now and shall never constitute a
debt or liability of the State or any municipality thereof or bonds issued or guaranteed by either
of them within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory limitation.

     Estoppel Clause. This bond is issued pursuant to and in full compliance with the
Constitution and laws of the State. 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 issuance
of this bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as
required by law and that the issuance of this bond and of the issue of which it forms a part,
together with all other obligations of the Authority, do not exceed or violate any constitutional
or statutory limitation.

     NEITHER THE AUTHORITY, THE TRUSTEE NOR ANY PAYING AGENT WILL HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR
OBLIGATION TO PARTICIPANTS, TO INDIRECT PARTICIPANTS OR TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER WITH RESPECT TO (I)
THE ACCURACY OF ANY RECORDS MAINTAINED BY DTC OR ANY SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY, ANY

personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance hereof.

     (F) Book-Entry Only System for the Bonds

     (1) The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), New York, New York shall act as securities
depository for the Bonds. One fully registered bond in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC. Notwithstanding any provision
herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.3(F) and the Representation Letter (as
defined below) shall apply with respect to any Bond registered to Cede & Co. or any other nominee
of DTC, New York, New York, while the Book-Entry Only System (meaning the system of registration
described in paragraph (2) of this Section 2.3(F)) is in effect. DTC is a limited-purpose trust
company organized under the New York Banking Law, a “banking organization” within the meaning of
the New York Banking Law, a member of the Federal Reserve System, a “clearing corporation” within
the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, and a “clearing agency” registered pursuant to
the provisions of Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. DTC holds securities that
its participants (“Participants”) deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the settlement among
Participants of securities transactions, such as transfers and pledges, in deposited securities
through electronic computerized book-entry changes in Participants’ accounts, thereby eliminating
the need for physical movement of securities certificates. Direct Participants (“Direct
Participants”) include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing
corporations, and certain other organizations. DTC is owned by a number of its Direct Participants
and by the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the American Stock Exchange, Inc., and the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. Access to the DTC system is also available to others such
as securities brokers and dealers, banks, and trust companies that clear through or maintain a
custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly (“Indirect
Participants”). The Rules applicable to DTC and its Participants are on file with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

     (2) The Bonds in or to be in the Book-Entry Only System shall be issued in the form of a
separate single authenticated fully registered Bond in substantially the form provided for in this
Indenture (a “Global Security”). Any legend required to be on the Bonds by DTC may be added by the
Trustee or Paying Agent. On the date of original delivery thereof, the Bonds shall be registered
in the registry books of the Paying Agent in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository
Trust Company as agent for the Authority in maintaining the Book-Entry Only System.

     WITH RESPECT TO BONDS REGISTERED IN THE REGISTRY BOOKS KEPT BY THE PAYING AGENT IN THE NAME OF
CEDE & CO., AS NOMINEE OF DTC, THE AUTHORITY, THE PAYING AGENT, THE BORROWER AND THE TRUSTEE SHALL
HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY OR OBLIGATION TO ANY PARTICIPANT (WHICH MEANS SECURITIES BROKERS AND
DEALERS, BANKS, TRUST COMPANIES, CLEARING CORPORATIONS AND VARIOUS OTHER ENTITIES, SOME OF WHOM OR
THEIR REPRESENTATIVES OWN DTC) OR TO ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER (WHICH MEANS, WHEN USED WITH REFERENCE TO
THE BOOK-ENTRY ONLY SYSTEM, THE PERSON WHO IS CONSIDERED THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE BONDS PURSUANT
TO THE ARRANGEMENTS FOR BOOK ENTRY DETERMINATION OF OWNERSHIP APPLICABLE TO DTC) WITH RESPECT TO
THE FOLLOWING: (A) THE ACCURACY OF THE RECORDS OF DTC, CEDE & CO. OR ANY PARTICIPANT WITH RESPECT
TO ANY OWNERSHIP INTEREST IN THE BONDS, (B) THE DELIVERY TO OR FROM ANY PARTICIPANT, ANY BENEFICIAL
OWNER OR ANY OTHER

-24-

 

PERSON, OTHER THAN DTC, OF ANY NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO THE OTHER PERSON, OTHER THAN DTC, OF ANY
NOTICE WITH RESPECT TO THE BONDS, INCLUDING ANY NOTICE OF REDEMPTION (WHETHER MANDATORY OR
OPTIONAL), OR (C) THE PAYMENT TO ANY PARTICIPANT, ANY BENEFICIAL OWNER OR ANY OTHER PERSON, OTHER
THAN DTC, OF ANY AMOUNT WITH RESPECT TO THE PRINCIPAL OR PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS.

     The Paying Agent shall pay all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
only to or upon the order of DTC, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully to
satisfy and discharge the Authority’s obligations with respect to the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than DTC
shall be entitled to receive an authenticated Bond evidencing the obligation of the Authority to
make payments of principal and premium, if any, and interest pursuant to this Indenture. Upon
delivery by DTC to the Paying Agent of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to
substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., the words “Cede & Co.” in this Indenture shall
refer to such new nominee of DTC.

     The Authority, the Borrower, the Trustee and the Paying Agent shall be entitled to treat the
registered owner of a Bond (initially, DTC or its nominee) as the absolute owner thereof for all
purposes of this Indenture and any applicable laws, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary
received by any of them. So long as all Bonds are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee or
any qualified successor, the Borrower and the Paying Agent shall cooperate with DTC or its nominee
or any qualified successor in effecting payment of the principal of, redemption premium, if any,
and interest on the Bonds by arranging for payment in such manner that funds for such payments are
properly identified and are made to DTC when due.

     (3) Upon receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent of written notice from DTC to the effect
that DTC is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities, the Authority shall issue and
the Paying Agent shall transfer and exchange Bonds as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts and
in authorized denominations, and whenever DTC requests the Authority, the Paying Agent and the
Trustee to do so, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Authority will, at the expense of the
Borrower, cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (A) to arrange
for a substitute bond depository willing and able upon reasonable and customary terms to maintain
custody of the Bonds or (B) to make available for transfer and exchange Bonds registered in
whatever name or names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall designate.

     (4) In such event, the Borrower shall so notify DTC, the Paying Agent and the Trustee,
whereupon DTC will notify the Participants of the availability through DTC of Bond certificates.
In such event, the Authority shall issue and the Paying Agent shall transfer and exchange Bond
certificates as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts and in authorized denominations. Whenever
DTC requests the Paying Agent to do so, the Paying Agent will cooperate with DTC in taking
appropriate action after reasonable notice to make available for transfer and exchange Bonds
registered in whatever name or names and in whatever authorized denominations as DTC shall
designate.

     (5) The Authority may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through
DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and
delivered.

     (6) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any
Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond
shall be

-25-

 

made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the Blanket Letter of Representation,
dated March 29, 1995, from the Authority to DTC (the “Representation Letter”).

     (7) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any of
the Bonds outstanding are held in the Book-Entry Only System, if less than all of such Bonds are to
be redeemed upon any redemption of Bonds hereunder, the particular Bonds or portions of Bonds to be
converted or redeemed shall be selected by DTC in such manner as DTC may determine.

     Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may
comply with the provisions of the Letter of Representation or similar document required by DTC or
any successor securities depository in order to maintain the Book-Entry Only System for the Bonds.

     Section 2.4. Redemption of Bonds. (A) General Optional Redemption. At the
option of the Authority, which option shall be exercised upon the giving of written notice by the
Borrower of its intention to prepay amounts due under the Agreement pursuant to subsection 8.1(A)
thereof and the Note, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity from time to time
upon not less than 30 days’ notice in writing, as a whole or in part on any date on or after
December 1, 2012, at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption.

     (B) Extraordinary Optional Redemption. In addition, at the option of the Authority,
which option shall be exercised upon the giving of written notice by the Borrower of its election
to redeem Bonds following completion of Project pursuant to Section 5.2(F) hereof or its intention
to prepay amounts due under the Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(B) thereof, the Outstanding Bonds
shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity at the redemption price of 100% of the principal
amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption (a) in part, on any date, to the
extent excess Bond proceeds are transferred to the Redemption Account from the Project Fund in
accordance with Section 5.2(F) of the Indenture, or (b) as a whole, on any date, if any one or more
of the events of casualty to or condemnation of the Project, change in law, or certain economic
events specified in Section 8.1(B) of the Agreement shall have occurred, as evidenced in each case
by the filing with the Trustee of a certificate of an Authorized Representative of the Borrower.

     (C) Mandatory Taxability Redemption. In the event of a Determination of Taxability,
the Bonds shall be redeemed in the manner and as provided in this Indenture, at the redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of redemption
on any day selected by the Borrower, that is not more than 180 days after such Determination of
Taxability. In the case of any redemption pursuant to this subsection, the Authority or the
Borrower or any Bondholder shall deliver to the Trustee a certificate of an Authorized
Representative specifying the event giving rise to such inclusion in the gross income of the
recipient thereof and the dates which are the Tax Incidence Date and the date of the Determination
of Taxability. Such certificate shall be delivered at least ten days before notice of redemption
is required to be given. Redemption under this paragraph shall be in whole unless not less than
forty-five (45) days prior to the redemption date the Borrower delivers to the Trustee an opinion
of Bond Counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that a redemption of less than
all of the Bonds will preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding
subsequent to such redemption.

     For purposes of this Subsection C only, the owner of a Bond means the Beneficial Owner of said
Bond so long as the Book-Entry Only System shall be in effect.

     (D) Redemption (or Purchase) by the Borrower in the Event of Death of a Beneficial
Owner. Unless the Bonds have been declared due and payable prior to their maturity by reason
of an Event of Default, the Representative (as hereinafter

-26-

 

defined) of a deceased Beneficial Owner
(as hereinafter defined) who has owned (or whose estate has owned) the Bonds for a period of at
least six months prior to any request for redemption, has the right after December 1, 2009, to
request redemption prior to stated maturity of all or part of interest in the Bonds, and the
Borrower will redeem (or will cause the Authority
to redeem) the same subject to the limitations that the Borrower will not be obligated to
redeem (or cause to be redeemed), during the period from December 1, 2009, through and including
December 1, 2010, (the “Initial Period”), and during any twelve-month period which ends on and
includes each December 1 thereafter (each such twelve-month period being hereinafter referred to as
a “Subsequent Period”), (i) on behalf of a deceased Beneficial Owner any interest in the Bonds
which exceeds $25,000 principal amount (the “Individual Limitation”) or (ii) interests in the Bonds
exceeding $300,000 in aggregate principal amount (the “Annual Limitation”). A request for
redemption may be initiated by the Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner at any time and in
any principal amount.

     The Borrower may, at its option, redeem (or cause to be redeemed) interests of any deceased
Beneficial Owner in the Bonds during the Initial Period or any Subsequent Period in excess of the
Individual Limitation. Any such redemption, to the extent that it exceeds the Individual
Limitation for any deceased Beneficial Owner, shall not be included in the computation of the
Annual Limitation for such Initial Period or such Subsequent Period, as the case may be, or for any
succeeding Subsequent Period. The Borrower may, at its option, redeem (or cause to be redeemed)
interests of deceased Beneficial Owners in the Bonds, during the Initial Period or any Subsequent
Period in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the Annual Limitation. Any such redemption, to
the extent it exceeds the Annual Limitation shall not reduce the Annual Limitation for any
Subsequent Period. Upon any determination by the Borrower to redeem (or cause to be redeemed)
Bonds in excess of the Individual Limitation or the Annual Limitation, Bonds so redeemed shall be
redeemed in the order of the receipt of Redemption Requests (as hereinafter defined) by the
Trustee.

     A request for redemption of an interest in the Bonds may be initiated by the personal
representative or other person authorized to represent the estate of the deceased Beneficial Owner
or by a surviving joint tenant(s) or tenant(s) by the entirety or the trustee of a trust (each, a
“Representative”). The Representative shall deliver a request to the Participant (hereinafter
defined) through whom the deceased Beneficial Owner owned such interest, in form satisfactory to
the Participant, together with evidence of the death of the Beneficial Owner, evidence of the
authority of the Representative satisfactory to the Participant, such waivers, notices or
certificates as may be required under applicable state or federal law and such other evidence of
the right to such redemption as the Participant shall require. The request shall specify the
principal amount of the interest in the Bonds to be redeemed. The Participant shall thereupon
deliver to the Depository a request for redemption substantially in the form attached as Appendix B
to this Indenture (a “Redemption Request”). The Depository will, on receipt thereof, forward the
same to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain records with respect to Redemption Requests
received by it including date of receipt, the name of the Participant filing the Redemption Request
and the status of each such Redemption Request with respect to the Individual Limitation or the
Annual Limitation. The Trustee will immediately forward each Redemption Request it receives,
together with the information regarding the eligibility thereof with respect to the Individual
Limitation or the Annual Limitation with the Borrower. The Depository, the Authority, the Borrower
and the Trustee may conclusively assume, without independent investigation, that the statements
contained in each Redemption Request are true and correct and shall have no responsibility for
reviewing any documents submitted to the Participant by the Representative or for determining
whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the interest in the Bonds to be
redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized to request
redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner.

     Subject to the Individual Limitation and the Annual Limitation, the Borrower will, after the
death of any Beneficial Owner, redeem (or cause to be redeemed) the interest of such Beneficial
Owner in the Bonds on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30 days following
receipt by the

-27-

 

Borrower of the Redemption Request from the Trustee. If Redemption Requests exceed
the aggregate principal amount of interests in Bonds required to be redeemed during the Initial
Period or during any Subsequent Period, then such excess Redemption Requests will be applied in the
order received by the Trustee to successive Subsequent Periods, regardless of the number of
Subsequent Periods required to
redeem such interests. The Borrower may, at any time, notify the Trustee that it will redeem
(or cause to be redeemed), on the next interest payment date occurring not less than 30 days
thereafter, all or any such lesser amount of Bonds for which Redemption Requests have been received
but which are not then eligible for redemption by reason of the Individual Limitation or the Annual
Limitation. Any Bonds so redeemed shall be redeemed in the order of receipt of Redemption Requests
by the Trustee.

     The price to be paid by the Borrower for the Bonds to be redeemed pursuant to a Redemption
Request is 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued but unpaid interest to the date of
payment. Subject to arrangements with the Depository, payment for interests in the Bonds which are
to be redeemed shall be made to the Depository upon presentation of Bonds to the Trustee for
redemption in the aggregate principal amount specified in the Redemption Requests submitted to the
Trustee by the Depository which are to be fulfilled in connection with such payment. The principal
amount of any Bonds acquired or redeemed by or at the direction of the Borrower other than by
redemption at the option of any Representative of a deceased Beneficial Owner pursuant to this
section shall not be included in the computation of either the Individual Limitation and the Annual
Limitation for the Initial Period or for any Subsequent Period.

     For purposes of this section, a “Beneficial Owner” means the Person who has the right to sell,
transfer or otherwise dispose of an interest in a Bond and the right to receive the proceeds
therefrom, as well as the interest and principal payable to the holder thereof. In general, a
determination of beneficial ownership in the Bonds will be subject to the rules, regulations and
procedures governing the Depository and institutions that have accounts with the Depository or a
nominee thereof (“Participants”).

     For purposes of this section, an interest in a Bond held in tenancy by the entirety, joint
tenancy or by tenants in common will be deemed to be held by a single Beneficial Owner and the
death of a tenant by the entirety, joint tenant or tenant in common will be deemed the death of a
Beneficial Owner. The death of a person who, during his lifetime, was entitled to substantially
all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner of an interest in the Bonds will be deemed the death of the
Beneficial Owner, regardless of the recordation of such interest on the records of the Participant,
if such rights can be established to the satisfaction of the Participant. Such interests shall be
deemed to exist in typical cases of nominee ownership, ownership under the Uniform Gifts to Minors
Act or the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act, community property or other similar joint ownership
arrangements, including individual retirement accounts or Keogh [H.R. 10] plans maintained solely
by or for the decedent or by or for the decedent and any spouse, and trust and certain other
arrangements where the decedent has the right to receive all or a portion of the income and such
person has substantially all of the rights of a Beneficial Owner during such person’s lifetime.

     In the case of a redemption request which is presented on behalf of a deceased Beneficial
Owner and which has not been fulfilled at the time the Borrower gives notice of its election to
redeem the Bonds, the Bonds which are the subject of such pending redemption request shall be
redeemed prior to any other Bonds.

     Any Redemption Request may be withdrawn by the person(s) presenting the same upon delivery of
a written request for such withdrawal given by the Participant on behalf of such person to the
Depository and by the Depository to the Trustee not less than 60 days prior to the interest payment
date on which such Bonds are eligible for redemption.

-28-

 

     The Borrower may, at its option, purchase any Bonds for which Redemption Requests have been
received in lieu of redeeming (or causing the redemption of) such Bonds. Any Bonds so purchased by
the Borrower shall either be reoffered for sale and sold within 180 days after the date of purchase
or presented to the Trustee for redemption and cancellation. The Trustee shall have no duty to
monitor or enforce the Borrower’s obligations under this paragraph.

     During such time or times as the Bonds are not represented by a Global Security (as such term
is defined in Section 2.3(F) hereof) and are issued in definitive form, all references in this
Section to Participants and the Depository, including the Depository’s governing rules, regulations
and procedures shall be deemed deleted, all determinations which under this section the
Participants are required to make shall be made by the Borrower (including, without limitation,
determining whether the applicable decedent is in fact the Beneficial Owner of the interest in the
Bonds to be redeemed or is in fact deceased and whether the Representative is duly authorized to
request redemption on behalf of the applicable Beneficial Owner), all Redemption Requests, to be
effective, shall be delivered by the Representative to the Trustee, with a copy to the Borrower,
and shall be in the form of a Redemption Request (with appropriate changes to reflect the fact that
such Redemption Request is being executed by a Representative) and, in addition to all documents
that are otherwise required to accompany a Redemption Request, shall be accompanied by the Bond
that is the subject of such request.

     (E) [Reserved].

     (F) Optional Public Purpose Redemption. If the Borrower fails to perform its
obligations under Section 6.4 of the Agreement, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to
maturity as a whole on any date at the option of the Authority in accordance with Section 7.3 of
the Agreement, at the redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the date of redemption.

     (G) Extraordinary Optional Redemption Without Premium to Preserve Tax Exempt Status of the
Bonds. The Bonds shall be subject to extraordinary optional redemption by the Authority, at
the direction of the Borrower, in whole or in part on any date at a Redemption Price equal to 100%
of the unpaid principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption,
and without premium, if the Borrower shall have delivered to the Trustee and the Authority an
opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Trustee and the Authority substantially to the effect that
(i) a failure so to redeem the Bonds (or the relevant portion thereof) may adversely affect the
exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the holders pursuant to Section 103 of
the Code, and (ii) redemption of Bonds in the amount set forth in such opinion (but in no smaller
amount than that set forth in such opinion) would permit the continuance of any exclusion so
afforded under Section 103 of the Code.

     (H) Upon any redemption of Bonds there shall also be due and payable, concurrently with the
payment of the Redemption Price, interest accrued on the Bonds and all other amounts then due under
the Financing Documents.

     (I) Redemption of Bonds permitted or required by this Article II shall be made as follows, and
the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption referred to in Section 6.3 hereof in respect of
each such redemption:

mutilated Bond, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and
substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Trustee of evidence
satisfactory to the Authority, the Trustee and the Paying Agent that such Bond has been destroyed,
stolen or lost and proof of ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Authority, the Trustee and
the Paying Agent with indemnity satisfactory to them and complying with such other reasonable
requirements as the Authority and the Trustee and the Paying Agent may prescribe and paying such
expenses as the Authority, the Trustee and the Paying Agent may incur. All Bonds so surrendered to
the Trustee shall be cancelled by it. Any such new Bonds issued pursuant to this Section in
substitution for Bonds alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost shall constitute original additional
contractual obligations on the part of the Authority, whether or not the Bonds so alleged to be
destroyed, stolen or lost be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally secured by and
entitled to equal and proportionate benefits with all other Bonds issued hereunder in any moneys or
securities held by the Authority, the Trustee or the Paying Agent for the benefit of the owners of
the Bonds.

All Bonds acquired and owned by the Borrower and delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation
shall be deemed paid and shall be promptly cancelled. Bonds so cancelled shall be cremated or
otherwise destroyed by the Paying Agent, who shall execute a certificate of cremation or
destruction in duplicate under signature of one of its authorized officers describing the Bonds so
cremated or otherwise destroyed, and one executed certificate shall be filed with the Authority and

Agent may, as a condition precedent to the privilege of making such
transfer, make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental
charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer and may charge a sum

on the Bonds from the Principal and Interest Account shall be paid to the respective Paying Agents
upon receipt, and shall immediately be paid by such Paying Agents to the Bondholders.

redemption date shall be the earliest date upon which Bonds are subject to redemption from such
amounts. Any amount in the Redemption Account not so applied to the purchase of Bonds by
forty-five days prior to the next date on which the Bonds are so redeemable shall be applied to the
redemption of Bonds on such redemption date; provided that if such amount aggregates less than
$10,000, it need not be then applied to such redemption. Amounts in the Redemption Account to be
applied to the redemption of Bonds shall be paid to the respective Paying Agents on or before the
redemption date and applied by them on such redemption date to the payment of the Redemption Price
of the Bonds being redeemed plus interest on such Bonds accrued to the redemption date and all
other amounts then due under the Financing Documents in connection with such redemption.

Arbitrage (as defined in the Tax Regulatory Agreement) calculated as of the last day of the

Account and of the Rebatable Arbitrage shall be furnished to the Trustee by the Borrower in

paid over to the Borrower free and clear of any pledge or lien hereunder.

interest payment date and the amount then available in the Debt Service Fund.

     Section 5.7. Non-presentment of Bonds. In the event any Bond shall not be presented
for payment when the remaining principal thereof becomes due, either at final maturity, or at the
date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, and funds sufficient to pay any such Bond shall
have been made available to the Trustee for the benefit of the holder or holders thereof, all
liability of the Authority to the holder thereof for the payment of such Bond shall forthwith
cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Trustee to
hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the holder of such
Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds, for any claim of whatever
nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with respect to, such Bond. Funds remaining with
the Trustee as above unclaimed for six years shall be paid to the Borrower.

ARTICLE VI

REDEMPTION OF BONDS

     Section 6.1. Privilege of Redemption and Redemption Price. Bonds or portions thereof
subject to redemption prior to maturity shall be redeemable, upon mailed notice as provided in this
Article, at the times, at the Redemption Prices and upon such terms, in addition to and consistent
with the terms contained in this Article, as shall be specified in Section 2.4 hereof and in such
Bonds.

     Section 6.2. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed. So long as the Bonds are in
book-entry form, when Bonds are called, allocation shall be made by DTC or any successor securities
depository and not by the Authority or the Trustee. In the event of redemption of less than all
the Outstanding Bonds of like maturity, the Trustee shall select by lot, using such method of
selection as it shall deem proper in its discretion, the principal amount of such Bonds to be
redeemed. For purposes of this Section, Bonds or portions of Bonds which have theretofore been
selected by lot for redemption shall not be deemed Outstanding. In the event that the book-entry
system is discontinued, if less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed at the option of the
Borrower, the Bonds or portion thereof to be redeemed shall be selected by the Borrower.

     Section 6.3. Notice of Redemption. Except with respect to deceased Bondholder
redemptions as described in Section 2.4(D) hereof (the notice provisions relating to which are set
forth in the Form of Bond contained in the recitals to this Indenture), when redemption is required
or permitted by this Indenture, upon written notification of the Trustee by the Borrower of such
redemption not less than seven (7) days prior to the date on which the Trustee must give notice to
Holders as provided in this Section or the Letter of Representation among the Authority, the
Trustee and DTC (if the book entry system is still in effect), the Trustee shall give notice of
such redemption in the name of the Authority,

-41-

 

specifying the subsection of Section 2.4 hereof under which the redemption is to be made, the
numbers and amounts of the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, the redemption date and the
place or places where amounts due upon such redemption will be payable. Such notice shall further
state that on such date there shall become due and payable upon each Bond or portion thereof to be
redeemed the Redemption Price thereof together with interest accrued to the redemption date and all
other amounts then due under the Financing Documents, and that from and after such date interest
thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. Alternatively, at the option of the Authority, such
notice may state that it is subject to the receipt of the redemption moneys by the Trustee on or
before the date fixed for redemption and which notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are
so received on or before such date. Notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee in the name
and on behalf of the Authority by mailing a copy of each such notice to the registered owner of
each Bond by first-class mail postage prepaid, addressed to him at his last known address as it
appears upon the bond register, no more than forty-five (45) nor less than thirty (30) days prior
to the date fixed for redemption. Such notice shall be effective when mailed and any failure to
receive such notice shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for redemption. In the event
of a postal strike, the Trustee shall give notice by other appropriate means selected by the
Trustee in its discretion.

     Section 6.4. Payment of Redeemed Bonds. (A) Notice having been given in the manner
provided in Section 6.3 hereof, the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall become
due and payable on the redemption dates so designated at the Redemption Price, plus interest
accrued to the redemption date and all other amounts then due under the Financing Documents. If,
on the redemption date, monies for the redemption of all the Bonds or portions thereof to be
redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, and all other amounts then due under the
Financing Documents, shall be held by the Paying Agent so as to be available therefor on such date
and if notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, then, from and after the redemption
date, interest on the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and
become payable. If such monies shall not be so available on the redemption date, such Bonds or
portions thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they would have
borne had they not been called for redemption.

     (B) Payment of the Redemption Price together with interest and all other amounts then due to
the Bondholders under the Financing Documents shall be made to or upon the order of the registered
owner, only upon presentation of the Bond for cancellation or notation as provided in Section 6.6
hereof.

     Section 6.5. Notice to Authority and Borrower of Deceased Bondholder Redemption. Not
later than ten Business Days after receipt of a request for redemption pursuant to Section 2.4(D)
hereof by the Trustee, the Trustee shall give notice to the Authority and the Borrower specifying
the amount of Bonds requested to be redeemed, the amount of Bonds eligible for redemption, the date
on which such Bonds eligible for redemption shall be redeemed and the amount of funds required to
be deposited in the Redemption Account.

     Section 6.6. Cancellation of Redeemed Bonds. (A) All Bonds redeemed in full under
the provisions of this Article shall forthwith be cancelled and destroyed by the Trustee and a
certificate of destruction furnished to the Authority, and no Bonds shall be executed,
authenticated, issued or delivered in exchange or substitution therefor or for or in respect of any
paid portion of a fully registered Bond. In the event that a portion only of a Bond shall be so
called for redemption, then, at the option of the registered owner thereof if such owner is a
securities depository, such Bond may be either submitted to the Trustee for notation thereon of the
payment of the portion of the principal thereof called for redemption or surrendered for
redemption. If so surrendered, one or more new Bonds shall be issued for the unredeemed portion
hereof.

-42-

 

     (B) If there shall be called for redemption less than all of a Bond, the Authority shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such Bond, without
charge to the owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Bond so
surrendered, Bonds in any of the authorized denominations.

REMEDIES OF BONDHOLDERS

     Section 8.1. Events of Default; Acceleration of Due Dates. (A) Each of the following
events is hereby defined as and shall constitute an “Event of Default”:

     (1) Failure to duly and punctually pay (a) the interest or (b) any installment of the
principal or Redemption Price of any Bond, whether at the stated maturity thereof or upon
proceedings for redemption thereof (excluding redemptions for which a conditional notice has
been given in accordance with Section 6.3 of this Indenture in which case the failure to pay
the Redemption Price of any Bonds shall not constitute an Event of Default under this
Section 8.1(1) unless monies are on deposit with the Trustee and available to pay the
Redemption Price on the redemption date).

     (2) Failure to duly and punctually pay any amount, other than the amounts specified in
(1) above, due under the Financing Documents and the continuance of such failure for more
than thirty (30) days.

     (3) Failure to perform or observe any other of the covenants, agreements or conditions
on the part of the Authority in this Indenture or in the Bonds contained and not otherwise a
default hereunder and the continuance thereof for a period of sixty (60) days after written
notice given by the Trustee or by the owners of not less than 51% of the principal amount of
Bonds then Outstanding.

     (4) The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under any of the Financing Documents (other
than the Disclosure Agreement).

     (B) Subject to Section 6.4(B) of the Loan Agreement, upon the happening and continuance of any
Event of Default specified in subsection 8.1(A) hereof (unless the principal of all the Bonds shall
have already become due and payable), the Trustee may, and upon request in writing from the
owners of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, shall,
declare the principal of all the Bonds then Outstanding, and the interest accrued thereon, to be
due and payable immediately, and upon such declaration the same shall become and be immediately due
and payable, anything in this Indenture or in any of the Bonds contained to the contrary
notwithstanding.

     (C) The right of the Trustee or of the owners of not less than 51% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Bonds to make any declaration authorized under subsection 8.1(B) hereof with respect to
any failure under subsection 8.1(A)(1) hereof, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any
time before such declaration, all overdue installments of interest upon the Bonds and the principal
of all Bonds which shall have matured by their terms, together with the reasonable and proper
charges, expenses and liabilities of the Trustee, shall either be paid by or for account of the
Authority or provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall be made for such payment, and all other
events of default cured and waived as provided in Section 8.11 then in every such case any such
default and its consequences shall ipso facto be deemed to be annulled, but no such
annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair or exhaust any right or power
consequent thereon.

     Section 8.2. Enforcement of Remedies. (A) Upon the happening and continuance of any
Event of Default, then and in every case, but subject to the provisions of Section 9.2 hereof and
Section 6.4(B) of the Loan Agreement, the Trustee may proceed, and upon the written request of the
owners of not less than 51% in the principal amount of the Bonds
Outstanding shall proceed, to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Bondholders under the
Act, the Bonds, the Financing Documents and this Indenture,

-46-

 

and under any agreement executed
in connection with the foregoing, forthwith by such suits, actions or special proceedings in equity
or at law, or by proceedings in the office of any board or officer having jurisdiction, whether for
the specific performance of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or the Financing
Documents or in aid of the execution of any power granted therein or in the Act or for the
enforcement of any legal or equitable rights or remedies as the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights or to perform any of its duties under
this Indenture.

     (B) [Reserved]

     (C) In the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or under the Act, the
Trustee shall be entitled to sue for, enforce payment on and receive any or all amounts then or
during any default becoming, and any time remaining, due from the Authority for principal,
Redemption Price, interest or otherwise under any of the provisions of the Financing Documents,
this Indenture or of the Bonds, and unpaid, and, to the extent permitted by law, with interest on
overdue payments at the applicable rate or rates of interest specified in the Bonds, together with
any and all costs and expenses of collection and of all proceedings under the Financing Documents,
this Indenture and under the Bonds, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Trustee
or of the Bondholders, and to recover and enforce judgment or decree against the Authority, but
solely as provided in the Financing Documents, this Indenture and in the Bonds, for any portion of
such amounts remaining unpaid, with interest, to the extent permitted by law, costs and expenses,
and to collect in any manner provided by law, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     (D) Regardless of the happening of an Event of Default, the Trustee, if requested in writing
by the owners of not less than 51% in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, and furnished
with security and indemnity to its satisfaction, shall institute and maintain such suits and
proceedings as it may be advised shall be necessary or expedient to prevent any impairment of the
security under this Indenture by any acts which may be unlawful or in violation of this Indenture
or of any resolution authorizing Bonds, and such suits and proceedings as the Trustee may be
advised shall be necessary or expedient to preserve or protect its interests and the interests of
the Bondholders; but no such request shall be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of
law and of the Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the interests of the holders of Bonds not
making such request.

     Section 8.3. Application of Revenue and Other Moneys After Default. (A) All moneys
received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this
Article, after payment of the cost and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of
such moneys and of the fees, expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee and
any Paying Agent, shall be deposited in the applicable account of the Debt Service Fund and all
moneys so deposited in such Fund and available for payment of the Bonds shall be applied as
follows:

     (1) Unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have become or have been declared
due and payable:

FIRST To the payment of all amounts due under the Financing Documents, exclusive of
unpaid principal and interest on the Note;

SECOND To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of
interest then due on the Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
interest and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular
installment, then to the payment
ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment,
to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and

-47-

 

THIRD To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal or
Redemption Price, if any, of any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds
called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of
this Indenture), in order of maturity, from the respective dates upon which they become due
and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any
particular date, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal or
Redemption Price due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any
discrimination or preference.

     (2) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or have been declared due and
payable, to the payment of all amounts due under the Financing Documents, then to the
payment of the principal and interest (at the rate or rates expressed thereon) then due and
unpaid upon the Bonds without preference or priority of principal over interest or of
interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of
interest, or 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 preference.

     (B) Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such moneys
shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine, having due
regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional
moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply
such funds, it shall fix the date upon which such application shall be made. The Trustee shall
give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the
fixing of any such date, and shall not be required to make payment to the owner of any Bonds until
such Bonds shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if
fully paid.

     (C) Whenever all Bonds and interest thereon and all other amounts due under the Financing
Documents have been paid under the provisions of this Section and all fees, expenses and charges of
the Trustee and Paying Agents have been paid, any balance remaining in the Debt Service Fund shall
be paid to or upon the order of the Borrower.

     Section 8.4. Actions by Trustee. All rights of action under this Indenture or under
any of the Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the
production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relating thereto and any such suit or
proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity
of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any owners of the Bonds, and any recovery of judgment,
subject to the provisions of Section 8.3 hereof, shall be for the benefit of the holders of the
Outstanding Bonds.

     Section 8.5. Majority Bondholders Control Proceedings. The holders of at least 51%
in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, at any time, by an
instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method
and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms
and conditions of the Indenture, or for any other proceedings hereunder; but such direction shall
not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.

     Section 8.6. Individual Bondholder Action Restricted. (A) No owner of the Bonds
shall have any right to institute any suit,
action or proceeding at law or in equity for the
enforcement of any provision of this Indenture or the execution of any trust under this Indenture
or for any remedy under this Indenture, unless such owners shall have previously given to the
Trustee written notice of the happening of an “Event of Default”, as provided in this Article, and
the owners of at least 51% in principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding shall have filed a written request with the Trustee, and shall have offered it
reasonable opportunity, either to exercise the powers granted in this Indenture or by the Act or by the

-48-

 

laws of the State or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name, and unless
such owners shall have offered to the Trustee adequate security and indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee shall have refused to
comply with such request for a period of sixty days after receipt by it of such notice, request and
offer of indemnity, it being understood and intended that no owner of any Bond shall have any right
in any manner whatever by his or their action to affect, disturb or prejudice the pledge created by
this Indenture, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided;
and that all proceedings at law or in equity to enforce any provision of this Indenture shall be
instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided in this Indenture and for the equal benefit
of all owners of the Outstanding Bonds.

     (B) Nothing herein or in the Bonds contained shall affect or impair the right of any owner of
the Bonds to payment of the principal or Redemption Price, if any, of and interest on any Bond or
other amounts due under the Financing Documents at and after the maturity thereof, or the
obligation of the Authority to pay the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, of and
interest on each of the Bonds or other amounts due under the Financing Documents to the respective
owners thereof at the time, place, from the source and in the manner herein and in such Bonds
expressed.

     Section 8.7. Effect of Discontinuance of Proceedings. In case any proceeding taken
by the Trustee on account of any Event of Default shall have been dismissed, discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in every such case the
Authority, the Trustee, and the owners of the Bonds shall be restored, respectively, to their
former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies, powers and duties of the Trustee
shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

     Section 8.8. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy by the terms of this Indenture
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the owners of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive
of any other remedy, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
any other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

     Section 8.9. Delay or Omission Upon Default. No delay or omission of the Trustee or
of the owners of any Bond to exercise any right or power arising upon any Event of Default shall
impair any right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or any
acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Article to the Trustee and the owner
of any Bond, respectively, may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient by the Trustee or by the owner of the Bonds.

     Section 8.10. Notice of Default. The Trustee shall immediately mail (upon the
Trustee’s actual knowledge thereof), to each owner of the Bonds, written notice of an Event of
Default under Section 8.1(A)(1) hereof of which it has actual knowledge. The Trustee shall
promptly mail (within thirty (30) days of the Trustee’s actual knowledge thereof), to each owner of
the Bonds, written notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default under Sections 8.1(A)(2),
8.1(A)(3) and 8.1(A)(4) hereof of which it has actual knowledge. Actual knowledge means the actual
knowledge of an officer in the Trustee’s corporate trust administration department. The Trustee
shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any owner of the Bonds by reason of its failure
to mail any notice required by this Section. The Trustee shall not be required to monitor the
compliance by the Authority with the terms of this Indenture, or the Borrower with the terms of the
Agreement, except as aforesaid.

     Section 8.11. Waivers of Default. The Trustee shall waive any Event of Default
hereunder and its consequences upon the written request of the owners of 51% in aggregate principal
amount of the Bonds then Outstanding; except that there shall not be waived without the
consent of the owners of all the Bonds Outstanding (a) any default in the payment of the principal
of and Redemption Price on any

-49-

 

Outstanding Bonds at the date of maturity specified therein or (b)
any default in the payment when due of the interest on any such Bonds unless, prior to such waiver,
all arrears of interest, at the rate borne by the Bonds on overdue installments of interest, to the
extent permitted by law, in respect of which such default shall have occurred or all arrears of
payments of principal due on the Bonds when due, as the case may be, and all expenses of the
Trustee and any Paying Agent in connection with such default shall have been paid or provided for,
and in case of any such waiver, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any
such default shall have been dismissed, discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and
in every such case the Authority, the Trustee and the owners of the Bonds shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder respectively, but no such waiver, dismissal,
discontinuance, abandonment or determination shall extend to any subsequent or other default, or
impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE IX

TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENTS

     Section 9.1. Appointment and Acceptance of Duties. (A) U.S. Bank National
Association is hereby appointed as Trustee. The Trustee shall signify its acceptance of the duties
and obligations of the Trustee by executing this Indenture. All provisions of this Article shall
be construed as extending to and including all the rights, duties and obligations imposed upon the
Trustee under the Agreement and the other Financing Documents as fully for all intents and purposes
as if this Article were contained in the Agreement and the other Financing Documents.

     (B) The Trustee is hereby appointed as Paying Agent for the Bonds. The Authority may also
from time to time appoint one or more other Paying Agents in the manner and subject to the
conditions set forth in Section 9.10 hereof for the appointment of a successor Paying Agent. Each
Paying Agent shall signify its acceptance of the duties and obligations imposed upon it by this
Indenture by executing and delivering to the Authority and to the Trustee a written acceptance
thereof. The principal offices of the Paying Agents are designated as the respective offices or
agencies of the Authority for the payment of the interest on and principal or Redemption Price of
the Bonds, except that interest on all registered Bonds and the principal and Redemption Price of
all registered Bonds shall be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee located in
Hartford, Connecticut.

     Section 9.2. Indemnity. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any
suit, or to take any remedial proceeding under this Indenture, or to enter any appearance in or in
any way defend any suit in which it may be made defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of
the trusts hereby created or in the enforcement of any rights and powers hereunder, until it shall
be indemnified and provided with adequate security to its satisfaction against any and all
reasonable costs and expenses, outlays, and counsel fees and other disbursements, and against all
liability not due to its willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad faith.

     The Trustee shall be indemnified for and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense
incurred without gross negligence or bad faith on its part arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending itself
against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers
or duties hereunder. 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, if it shall have reasonable grounds
for believing that payment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not assured to it.

     Section 9.3. Responsibilities of Trustee. (A) The Trustee shall have no
responsibility in respect of the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or the security provided
hereunder or the due execution hereof by the Authority, or in respect of the title or the value of
the Project, or in respect of the validity of any Bonds authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
in accordance with this Indenture or to see to the recording or filing of the Indenture or any
financing statement (except the filing of continuation statements as provided in Section 9.13
hereof) or any other document or instrument whatsoever. The recitals, statements and
representations contained herein and in the Bonds shall be taken and construed as made by and on
the part of the Authority and not by the Trustee, and the Trustee does not assume any
responsibility for the correctness of the same; except that the Trustee shall be responsible for
its representation contained in its certificate on the Bonds. The obligation hereunder to pay or
reimburse the Trustee for expenses, advances, reimbursements and to indemnify and hold harmless the
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of all obligations
under this Indenture.

 - 51 - 

 

     (B) The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible because of the failure of the Authority to
perform any act required of it by this Indenture or the Financing Documents or because of the loss
of any monies arising through the insolvency or the act or default or omission of any depositary
other than itself in which such monies shall have been deposited. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the application of any of the proceeds of the Bonds or any other monies deposited
with it and paid out, invested, withdrawn or transferred in accordance herewith or for any loss
resulting from any such investment. The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the
performance of its duties hereunder except for its own willful misconduct, gross negligence or bad
faith. The immunities and exemptions from liability of the Trustee shall extend to its directors,
officers, employees and agents.

     (C) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and subsequent to an Event of
Default that has been cured, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which the
Trustee has actual knowledge (as defined in Section 8.10 hereinabove) and which has not been cured
the Trustee, subject to Section 9.2 hereof, shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in
it hereby and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would
exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; provided, that if in the
opinion of the Trustee such action might involve expense or liability, it shall not be obligated to
take such action (other than the payment of any Bonds when due from funds held under this Indenture
for the payment thereof or the acceleration of any Bonds pursuant to Section 8.1(B) hereof), unless
it is furnished with indemnity and security to its satisfaction therefor.

     (D) The Trustee shall in all instances act in good faith in incurring costs, expenses and
legal fees in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Indenture and the Agreement.

     (E) The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for the failure of the Borrower to effect
or maintain insurance on the Project as provided in the Financing Documents nor shall it be
responsible for any loss by reason of want or insufficiency in insurance or by reason of the
failure of any insurer in which the insurance is carried to pay the full amount of any loss against
which it may have insured the Authority, the Borrower, the Trustee or any other person.

     Section 9.4. Compensation. The Trustee and Paying Agents shall be entitled to
receive and collect from the Borrower as provided in the Financing Documents payment for reasonable
fees for services rendered hereunder and all advances, counsel fees and expenses and other expenses
reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee or Paying Agents in connection
therewith.

     Section 9.5. Evidence on Which Trustee May Act. (A) In case at any time it shall be
necessary or desirable for the Trustee to make any investigation concerning any fact preparatory to
taking or not taking any action, or doing or not doing anything, as such Trustee, and in any case
in which this Indenture or the Financing Documents provide for permitting or taking any action, it
may rely upon any certificate required or permitted to be filed with it under the provisions hereof
or of the Financing Documents, and any such certificate shall be evidence of such fact or protect
it in any action that it may or may not take, or in respect of anything it may or may not do, in
good faith, by reason of the supposed existence of such fact.

     (B) The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding, or in
not acting or not proceeding, in good faith, reasonably and in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture or the Financing Documents, upon any resolution, order, notice, request, consent, waiver,
certificate, statement, affidavit, requisition, bond or other paper or document which it shall in
good faith reasonably believe to be genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper board
or person, or to have been prepared and furnished pursuant to any of the provisions of this
Indenture or the Financing Documents, or

 - 52 - 

 

upon the written opinion of any attorney (who may be an
attorney for the Authority or the Borrower), engineer, appraiser, or accountant reasonably believed
by the Trustee to be qualified in relation to the subject matter. The Trustee is not required to
investigate the qualifications of any such expert.

     Section 9.6. Evidence of Signatures of Owners of the Bonds and Ownership of Bonds.
(A) Any request, consent, revocation of consent or other instrument which this Indenture may
require or permit to be signed and executed by the owners of the Bonds may be in one or more
instruments of similar tenor, and shall be signed or executed by such owners of the Bonds in person
or by their attorneys appointed in writing. Proof of (i) the execution of any such instrument, or
of any instrument appointing any such attorney, or (ii) the holding by any person of the Bonds
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture (except as otherwise herein expressly
provided) if made in the following manner, or in any other manner satisfactory to the Trustee,
which may nevertheless in its discretion require further or other proof in cases where it deems the
same desirable:

     (1) The fact and date of the execution by any owner of the Bonds or his attorney of
such instruments may be proved by a guarantee of the signature thereon by an officer of a
bank or trust company or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
to take acknowledgments of deeds, that the person signing such request or other instrument
acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness of such
execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer. Where such execution
is by an officer of a corporation or a member of an association, a limited liability company
or a partnership, on behalf of such corporation, association, limited liability company or
partnership, such signature guarantee, certificate or affidavit shall be accompanied by
sufficient proof of his authority.

     (2) The ownership of registered Bonds and the amount, numbers and other identification,
and date of owning the same shall be proved by the registry books.

     (B) Except as otherwise provided in Section 10.3 hereof with respect to revocation of a
consent, any request or consent by the owner of any Bond shall bind all future owners of such Bond
in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Authority or the Trustee or any Paying
Agent in accordance therewith.

     Section 9.7. Trustee and any Paying Agent, May Deal in Bonds and With Borrower. Any
national banking association, bank or trust company acting as a Trustee, or Paying Agent, and its
directors, officers, employees or agents, may in good faith buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of
the Bonds and may join in any action which any owner of the Bonds may be entitled to take and may
otherwise deal with the Borrower with like effect as if such association, bank or trust company
were not such Trustee or Paying Agent.

     Section 9.8. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. (A) The Trustee may resign and
thereby become discharged from the trusts created under this Indenture by notice in writing to be
given to the Authority and the Borrower and by notice mailed, postage prepaid to the owners of the
Bonds not less than sixty (60) days before such resignation is to take effect, but such resignation
shall not take effect until the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to Section 9.9 hereof
and such successor Trustee shall accept such trust.

     (B) The Trustee may be removed at any time thirty (30) days after an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing, is filed with the Trustee and signed by the owners of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding or their attorneys-in-fact duly
authorized, but such removal shall not take effect until the appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to Section 9.9

 - 53 - 

 

hereof and such successor Trustee shall accept such trust. The Trustee
shall promptly give notice of such filing to the Authority.

     Section 9.9. Successor Trustee. (A) If at any time the Trustee shall resign, or
shall be removed, be dissolved or otherwise become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a
bankrupt or insolvent, or if a receiver, liquidator or conservator thereof, or of its property,
shall be appointed, or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs, the position of Trustee shall thereupon become vacant. If the position of
Trustee shall become vacant for any of the foregoing reasons or for any other reason, the Authority
shall appoint a successor Trustee to fill such vacancy. If the Authority fails to act prior to the
date of resignation of any Trustee or within fifteen days after the position of Trustee becomes
vacant, the Trustee may appoint a temporary successor Trustee. The Authority may thereafter
appoint a successor Trustee to succeed such temporary Trustee. Within forty-five (45) days after
such appointment, the successor Trustee shall cause notice of such appointment to be mailed,
postage prepaid, to the Borrower and all owners of the Bonds.

     (B) At any time within one year after such vacancy shall have occurred, the owners of a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, by an instrument or concurrent
instruments in writing, signed by such owners of the Bonds or their attorneys-in-fact thereunto
duly authorized and filed with the Authority, may appoint a successor Trustee, which shall,
immediately and without further act, supersede any Trustee theretofore appointed. If no
appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the owner of any Bond then Outstanding or any retiring Trustee may apply to any court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such
notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. In
either event, within thirty (30) days after such appointment, the successor Trustee shall cause
notice of such appointment to be marked, postage prepaid, to the Borrower.

     (C) Any Trustee appointed under this Section shall be a national banking association or a bank
or trust company duly organized under the laws of the State or under the laws of any state of the
United States authorized to exercise corporate trust powers. At the time of its appointment, any
successor Trustee shall have a capital stock and surplus aggregating not less than $100,000,000.

     (D) Every successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor, and
also to the Authority, an instrument in writing accepting such appointment, and thereupon such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all
monies, estates, properties, rights, immunities, powers and trusts, and subject to all the duties
and obligations of its predecessor, with like effect as if originally named as such Trustee; but
such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of its successor or of the Authority,
and upon payment of the compensation, expenses, charges and other disbursements of such predecessor
which are due and payable pursuant to Section 9.4 hereof, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor Trustee all the estate, properties, rights, immunities, powers and
trusts of such predecessor, except any indemnification rights. Every predecessor Trustee shall
also deliver all property and monies held by it under the Indenture to its successor. Should any
instrument in writing from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and
certainly vesting in such Trustee, the estate, properties, rights, immunities, powers and trusts
vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee any such instrument in writing shall, on
request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority. Any successor Trustee shall
promptly notify the Paying Agents of its appointment as Trustee.

     (E) Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it
shall be a party or any company to which the Trustee may sell or transfer all or substantially all
of its corporate trust business, provided such company shall be a national banking association or a
bank or trust company

 - 54 - 

 

duly organized under the laws of any state of the United States, shall have a
capital stock and surplus aggregating not less than $100,000,000, and shall be authorized by law to
perform all the duties imposed upon it by the Indenture, shall be the successor to such Trustee,
both in its capacity as Trustee and in its capacity as Paying Agent if the Trustee is serving as
Paying Agent, without the execution or filing of any paper or the performance of any further act.

     (F) Any Trustee which becomes incapable of acting as Trustee shall pay over, assign and
deliver to its successor any monies, funds or investments held by it in the manner provided in
Section 9.9(D) and shall render an accounting to the Authority.

     Section 9.10. Appointment and Responsibilities of Paying Agent. The initial Paying
Agent shall be U.S. Bank National Association. The Paying Agent shall be entitled to the advice of
counsel (who may be counsel for any party) and shall not be liable for any action taken in good
faith in reliance on such advice. The Paying Agent may rely conclusively on any telephone or
written notice, certificate or other document furnished to it under this Indenture and reasonably
believed by it to be genuine. The Paying Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be within the discretion or power
conferred upon it, or taken by it pursuant to any direction or instruction by which it is governed
under this Indenture or omitted to be taken by it by reason of the lack of direction or instruction
required for such action, or be responsible for the consequences of any error of judgment
reasonably made by it. When any payment or other action by the Paying Agent is called for by this
Indenture, it may defer such action pending receipt of such evidence, if any, as it may reasonably
require in support thereof. A permissive right or power to act shall not be construed as a
requirement to act. The Paying Agent shall not in any event be liable for the application or
misapplication of funds, or for other acts or defaults, by any person, firm or corporation except
by the Paying Agent’s respective directors, officers, agents and employees. For the purposes of
this Indenture matters shall not be considered to be known to the Paying Agent unless they are
known to an officer in its corporate trust administration division. The Paying Agent shall not
require indemnification prior to making any payment when due of principal, premium or interest on
any Bond to be made by the Paying Agent to any Bondholder, except and unless such drawing or
payment is prohibited by or violates applicable law or any outstanding or pending court or
governmental order or decree.

     Section 9.11. Resignation or Removal of Paying Agent; Successors. (A) Any Paying
Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by the
Indenture by giving at least sixty days’ written notice to the Authority, the Trustee and the
Borrower. Any successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Authority, at the direction of the
Borrower, with the approval of the Trustee, and shall be a bank or trust company duly organized
under the laws of any state of the United States or a national banking association, having a
capital stock and surplus aggregating at least $100,000,000, and willing and able to accept the
office on reasonable and customary terms and authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed
upon it by this Indenture. The Paying Agent may be removed at any time by the Authority at the
direction of the Borrower by a written instrument filed with the Trustee and the Paying Agent. The
Paying Agent may, but need not be, the same person as the Trustee.

     (B) If the position of Paying Agent shall become vacant for any reason, or if any bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar proceeding shall be commenced by or against the Paying Agent, the Authority
shall appoint a successor Paying Agent designated by the Borrower to fill the vacancy. A written
acceptance of office shall be filed by the successor Paying Agent. The Trustee shall give notice of the
appointment of a successor Paying Agent in writing to each Bondholder. The Trustee will promptly
certify to the Borrower that it has mailed such notice to all Bondholders, and such certificate
will be conclusive evidence that such notice was given in the manner required hereby.

 - 55 - 

 

     (C) Any corporation, association, limited liability company partnership or firm which succeeds
to the business of the Paying Agent as a whole or substantially as a whole, whether by sale,
merger, consolidation or otherwise, shall thereby become vested with all the property, rights and
powers of the Paying Agent under this Indenture and shall be subject to all the duties and
obligations of the Paying Agent under this Indenture.

     The Paying Agent shall send or cause to be sent notice to Bondholders of a change of address
for the delivery of Bonds or notice or the payment of principal of Bonds.

     Section 9.12. Monies Held for Particular Bonds. The amounts held by the Trustee or
Paying Agents for the payment of the interest, principal or Redemption Price due on any date with
respect to particular Bonds, on and after such date and pending such payment, shall be set aside on
its books and held in trust by it for the owners of the Bonds entitled thereto. Such funds shall
be invested in Federal Securities at the direction of the Borrower for the account of the Borrower
or shall otherwise remain uninvested.

     Section 9.13. Continuation Statements. The Trustee shall cause all continuation
statements necessary to preserve and protect the security interest of the Trustee in the collateral
pledged by the Authority in the granting clauses hereof to be filed in the applicable State offices
so as to continue the perfected status thereof pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of the
State.

     Section 9.14. Obligation to Report Defaults. In accordance with the provisions of
Section 8.10 hereof, upon an officer in the Trustee’s corporate trust administration department
becoming aware of any condition or event which constitutes, or with the giving of notice or the
passage of time would constitute, an Event of Default under the Financing Documents or this
Indenture, the Trustee shall deliver to the Authority a written notice stating the existence
thereof and the action it proposes to take with respect thereto. Becoming aware means the actual
knowledge of an officer in the Trustee’s corporate trust department.

     Section 9.15. Payments Due on non-Business Day. In any case where the date of
maturity of interest on or principal of the Bonds or the date fixed for redemption of any Bonds
shall, in the city of payment, be a day other than a Business Day, then payment of such amount
shall be made as provided in the forms of the Bonds.

     Section 9.16. Appointment of Co-Trustee. (A) It is the purpose of this Indenture
that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or restricting the right of
banking corporations or associations to transact business as trustee in such jurisdiction. It is
recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture or the Agreement, and in particular in
case of the enforcement of either on default, or in case the Trustee deems that by reason of any
present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies
herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take
any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary
that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate trustee or
co-Trustee. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends.

     (B) In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or institution as a
separate trustee or co-Trustee, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of
action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be
exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by
and vest in such separate trustee or co-Trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such
separate trustee or co-Trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every covenant and
obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate trustee or co-Trustee shall run to
and be enforceable by either of them.

 - 56 - 

 

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

     Section 9.17. Project Description. The Trustee shall maintain in current form as an
Appendix to the Agreement a list of the property constituting the Project Realty and the Project
Equipment and, on the basis of the descriptions furnished by the Borrower pursuant to the
Agreement, shall amend the list in writing to reflect changes in the Project Realty and the Project
Equipment.

     (6) To make any other changes which do not materially adversely affect the interest of
owners of the Bonds, as evidenced to the Trustee by an opinion of Bond Counsel.

     (7) To enable the Authority and the Borrower to receive or maintain a rating on the

amendments to this Indenture as provided in Section 10.3 hereof.

     (B) Before the Authority shall adopt any Supplemental Indenture pursuant to this Section,

 - 58 -

in the principal amount or redemption price of any Outstanding Bond or the rate of interest

satisfactory to the Trustee stating that such Supplemental Indenture is authorized or permitted by
this Indenture and complies with its terms, and that upon adoption it will be valid and binding
upon the Authority in accordance with its terms. Each valid consent of a Bondholder shall be
effective only if accompanied by proof of the owning, at the date of such consent, of the Bonds
with respect to which such consent is given. A certificate or certificates by the Trustee that it
has examined such proof and that such proof is sufficient in accordance with this Indenture shall
be conclusive that the consents have been given by the owners of the Bonds described in such
certificate or certificates. Any such consent shall be binding upon the owner of the Bonds giving
such consent and upon any subsequent owner of such Bonds and of any Bonds issued in exchange
therefor (whether or not such subsequent owner thereof has notice thereof), unless such consent is
revoked in writing by the owner of such Bonds giving such consent or a subsequent owner thereof by
filing such revocation with the Trustee prior to the adoption of such Supplemental Indenture.

     (D) If the owners of not less than the percentage of Bonds required by this Section shall have
consented to and approved the execution thereof as herein provided, no owner of any Bond shall have
any right to object to the enactment of such Supplemental Indenture, or to object to any of the
terms and provisions contained therein or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the

Paying Agent and all owners of Bonds then Outstanding shall thereafter be determined, exercised and

contained therein shall be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any
and all purposes. The Trustee shall execute any Supplemental Indenture adopted in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 10.2 or 10.3 hereof; provided, however, that the Trustee may, but shall

Trustee will not materially prejudice the Trustee or the owners of the Bonds or (ii) to make any

owner of the Bonds or any other person for any action taken by it in good faith pursuant to this
Section.

     Section 11.3. Amendments of Financing Documents Requiring Consent of Owners of the
Bonds. Except as provided in Section 11.2 hereof, the Authority and the Trustee shall not

of the Financing Documents, without mailing of notice and the written approval or consent of the
owners of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding and
so affected given and procured as in Section 10.3 hereof provided. If at any time the Borrower or
a subsequent user of the Project shall request the consent of the Trustee to any such proposed
amendment, change or modification, the Trustee shall cause notice of such proposed amendment,
change or modification to be mailed in the same manner as is provided in Article X hereof with
respect to Supplemental Indentures. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of such
