 (d) Interest. The Bonds shall bear
interest from and including the Dated Date until payment of the principal or the redemption or purchase price thereof shall have been made or provided for in accordance with the provisions hereof, whether at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise,
at the rate or rates per annum determined pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof. Interest on the Bonds shall be paid on each applicable Interest Payment Date and at maturity or prior redemption or purchase for the period commencing on the immediately
preceding Interest Payment Date (or if no interest has been paid thereon commencing on the Dated Date) to but excluding such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if, as shown by the records of the Trustee, interest on the Bonds shall be in
default, Bonds shall bear interest from the last date to which interest has been paid in full or duly provided for on the Bonds or, if no interest has been paid or duly provided for on the Bonds, from the Dated Date thereof. Each Bond shall bear
interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Bonds on the date on which such principal became due and payable. During any Daily Rate Period, Weekly Rate Period or Flexible Rate Period, interest on the related Bonds shall be computed upon
the basis of a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable, for the number of days actually elapsed. During any Term Rate Period or any Auction Rate Period of greater than 180 days, interest on the Bonds shall be computed upon the basis of a 360-day year,
consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months. During any Auction Rate Period of 180 days or less, interest on the Bonds shall be computed upon the basis of a 360-day year for the number of days actually elapsed. 
  
 (e) Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds received by the Issuer from the
sale of the Bonds in the amount of $74,531,250 ($75,000,000 par amount of Bonds, less discount of $468,750) shall be deposited with the Trustee, who shall forthwith deposit such proceeds to the Refunding Account, created pursuant to this Section.

  

 16 

 The Trustee shall create a separate account, designated the Refunding Account (the “Refunding
Account”), into which the Trustee shall deposit the amount specified in the above paragraph. Upon the deposit of such amount, the Trustee, acting as Escrow Agent for the Refunded Bonds pursuant to an Escrow Agreement of even date herewith,
shall hold such amount for redemption of the Refunded Bonds pursuant to the Escrow Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.03. Determination of Rate Periods and Interest Rates. In the manner hereinafter provided, the term of the Bonds will be divided into consecutive Rate Periods during which all Bonds shall bear
interest at the Daily Rate, the Weekly Rate, the Flexible Rate, the Term Rate or the Auction Rate, as the case may be. The initial Rate Period with respect to the Bonds shall be a Term Rate Period commencing on the Dated Date and ending on the
Maturity Date, during which Term Rate Period the Bonds shall bear interest at a fixed rate of 5% per annum. The Bonds may not be adjusted from the initial Term Rate Period to a Daily Rate Period, a Weekly Rate Period, a Flexible Rate Period or a
Term Rate Period ending prior to the Maturity Date except in accordance with Section 2.03(c)(ii) below and Section 5.14 of the Agreement. The Bonds shall bear interest at the rate or rates per annum established from time to time in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 (a) (i)
Determination of Daily Rate. During each Daily Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Daily Rate, which shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent not later than 10:00 a.m., New York time, on each Business Day for such Business
Day. The Daily Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the lowest interest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof (without regard to accrued interest); provided, however, that (1) with respect to any day which is not a Business Day, the Daily Rate shall be the Daily Rate determined for the immediately preceding Business Day, and (2) with respect to any
other day for which the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Daily Rate, the Daily Rate for such day shall be 105% of the most recent TBMA Swap Index. In no event shall the Daily Rate exceed the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate
per annum then permitted by applicable law. The Remarketing Agent shall provide the Trustee with immediate telephonic notice by noon New York time (promptly confirmed in writing) of each Daily Rate, as so determined; provided, however that no such
notice need be given if the Daily Rate so determined is the same Daily Rate for the immediately preceding day. 
  
 (ii) Adjustment to Daily Rate. The Borrower, by written direction to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the
Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, may elect that all (but not less than all) of the Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Daily Rate, which
shall be a Business Day not earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day after the date of such direction (or such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees), and shall be (1) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, the day
immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period or on 

  

 17 

 
any day on which the Issuer at the direction of the Borrower would be permitted to redeem such Bonds pursuant to, and at the redemption price described in,
Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Period, either the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Period or the day immediately following the last day of the last Flexible
Segment for each such Bond in the then current Flexible Rate Period all as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(d)(iv) hereof, and (3) in the case of an adjustment from an Auction Rate Period, the day immediately following the end of the
then-current Auction Rate Period; (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period having a duration in excess of one year, be accompanied by (1) a form of opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment (i) is authorized or
permitted by the Act and this Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of such Bonds and (2) written evidence of compliance with the terms of Section 5.14 of the Agreement; and (C) specify the Remarketing Agent for the
Bonds. During each Daily Rate Period commencing on the date so specified or determined (provided that the requirements of clause (B) above have been met on such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the succeeding
Rate Period, the interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be a Daily Rate. 
  
 (iii) Notice of Adjustment to Daily Rate. Except with respect to an adjustment to a Daily Rate Period from a Flexible Rate, the Trustee shall give notice of an adjustment to a Daily Rate Period to Owners of
such Bonds, by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than twelve (12) days prior to the effective date of such Daily Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to a Daily Rate (subject to
receipt of the opinion of Bond Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (a)(ii) if required, and to the Borrower’s ability to rescind its election as described in Section 2.03(g) hereof), (2) the effective date of such Daily
Rate Period, (3) except with respect to an adjustment to a Daily Rate Period from a Weekly Rate Period, in which case the requirements of this subsection (3) shall not apply, that all such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective
date, and (4) the procedures of such purchase and the payment of the purchase price. 
  
 (b) (i) Determination of Weekly Rate. During each Weekly Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Weekly Rate, which, in
the case of the first Weekly Rate determined for each Weekly Rate Period, shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. New York time on the first day of such Weekly Rate Period and, thereafter, no later than the Business Day
preceding each Wednesday during such Weekly Rate Period. The Weekly Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the lowest interest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bonds on the effective date of such
rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof (without regard to accrued interest); provided, however, that if the Remarketing Agent shall not have determined a Weekly Rate for any period, the Weekly Rate for such period shall be the
same as 105% of the most recent TBMA Swap Index. In no event shall the Weekly Rate exceed the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate per annum then permitted by applicable law. The first Weekly Rate determined for each Weekly Rate Period shall
apply to the period commencing on the first day of such period and ending on the succeeding Tuesday. Thereafter, each Weekly Rate shall apply to the period commencing on each Wednesday and ending on the 

  

 18 

 
succeeding Tuesday; provided, however, if a Weekly Rate Period shall end on a day other than Tuesday, the last Weekly Rate for such Weekly Rate Period shall
apply to the period commencing on the Wednesday preceding the last day of such Weekly Rate Period and ending on such last day. The Remarketing Agent shall provide the Trustee with written notification on the first day of each Weekly Rate Period of
each Weekly Rate as so determined. 
  
 (ii)
Adjustment to Weekly Rate. The Borrower, by written direction to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, may elect that all (but not less than all) of the Bonds
shall bear interest at a Weekly Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to a Weekly Rate, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than the 15th day after the date of such direction (or such shorter period of
time to which the Trustee agrees) and shall be (1) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period or on any day on which the Issuer at the direction of the
Borrower would be permitted to redeem such Bonds pursuant to, and at the redemption price described in, Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible Rate Period, either the day immediately following the last day of the
then current Flexible Rate Period or the day immediately following the last day of the last Flexible Segment for each such Bond in the then-current Flexible Rate Period, all as determined in accordance with Section 2.03(d)(iv) hereof and (3) in the
case of an adjustment from an Auction Rate Period, the day immediately following the end of the then-current Auction Rate Period; (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period having a duration in excess of one year, be accompanied by (1)
a form of opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment (i) is authorized or permitted by the Act and this Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of such Bonds and (2) written evidence of compliance with the
terms of Section 5.14 of the Agreement; and (C) specify the Remarketing Agent for the Bonds. During each Weekly Rate Period commencing on the date so specified or determined (provided that the requirements of clause (B) above have been met on such
date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the succeeding Rate Period, the interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be a Weekly Rate. 
  
 (iii) Notice of Adjustment to Weekly Rate. Except with respect to an adjustment to a Weekly Rate
Period from a Flexible Rate, the Trustee shall give notice of an adjustment to a Weekly Rate Period to Bondholders by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than twelve (12) days prior to the effective date of such Weekly Rate Period. Such
notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to a Weekly Rate (subject to receipt of the opinion of Bond Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (b)(ii), if required, and to the Borrower’s
ability rescind its election as described in Section 2.03(g) hereof), (2) the effective date of such Weekly Rate Period, (3) except with respect to an adjustment to a Weekly Rate Period from a Daily Rate Period, in which case the requirements of
this subsection (3) shall not apply, that all such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date and (4) the procedures of such purchase and the payment of the purchase price. 
  

 19 

 (c) (i) Determination of Term Rate. During each Term Rate Period (which shall be
at least 180 days in duration), such Bonds shall bear interest at the Term Rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on a Business Day selected by the Remarketing Agent, but not more than sixty (60) days prior to the first day of such Term Rate
Period. The Term Rate shall be the rate determined by the Remarketing Agent on such date, and filed on such date with the Trustee and the Borrower, by written notice or by telephone promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing, as being the
lowest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bonds on the effective date of such Term Rate at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided, however, that if, for any reason, a Term Rate for any Term Rate
Period shall not be determined or become effective, then the Rate Period for such Bonds shall automatically adjust to a Daily Rate Period. If a Daily Rate for the first day of any such Daily Rate Period is not determined as provided in Section
2.03(a)(i) hereof, the Daily Rate for the first day of such Daily Rate Period shall be 105% of the most recent TBMA Swap Index. In no event shall any Term Rate exceed the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate per annum then permitted by
applicable law. 
  
 (ii) Adjustment to or
Continuation of Term Rate. The Borrower, by written direction to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, may elect that all (but not less than all) of the Bonds
shall bear, or continue to bear, interest at a Term Rate, and if it shall so elect that such Bonds shall bear or continue to bear, interest at a Term Rate, then the Borrower shall determine the duration of the Term Rate Period during which the Bonds
shall bear interest at such Term Rate. As a part of such election the Borrower may elect not to provide a Liquidity Facility, as provided in Section 4.04(f) hereof. As a part of such election the Borrower also may determine that the initial Term
Rate Period shall be followed by successive Term Rate Periods and, if the Borrower so elects, shall specify the duration of each such successive Term Rate Period as provided in this paragraph (ii). Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date
of each Term Rate Period, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than the 15th day after the date of such written direction (or such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees) and shall be (1) in the case of an adjustment from a Flexible
Rate Period, either the day immediately following the last day of the then current Flexible Rate Period or the day immediately following the last day of the last Flexible Segment for such Bond in the then-current Flexible Rate Period, all as
determined in accordance with Section 2.03(d)(iv) hereof, (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period or any day on which the Issuer at the direction of
the Borrower would be permitted to redeem such Bonds pursuant to, and at the redemption price described in, Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof and (3) in the case of an adjustment from an Auction Rate Period, the day immediately following the end of the
then-current Auction Rate Period; (B) specify the last day of such Term Rate Period or, if successive Term Rate Periods shall have been designated, the last day of each such Term Rate Period (which shall be for each Term Rate Period either the date
immediately preceding the final maturity date of the Bonds, or a day which both immediately precedes a Business Day and is at least 180 days after the effective date thereof); (C) unless the adjustment is from a Term Rate Period of equal duration,
be accompanied by a form of opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment (1) is authorized or permitted by the Act and 

  

 20 

 
this Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of such Bonds, which opinion of Bond Counsel described in clause (C) above, if
required, must be delivered on the effective date of such adjustment and (D) with respect to the continuation of a Term Rate Period, specify the Remarketing Agent for the Bonds on the effective date of such continuation. Notwithstanding the stated
date of termination of any Term Rate Period, the Borrower may elect to cause an adjustment to any other Rate Period as of any date on which the affected Bonds are subject to redemption pursuant to Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof. 
  
 If, by the fourteenth (14th) day prior to the last day of any Term Rate
Period, the Trustee shall not have received notice of the Borrower’s election that, during the succeeding Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate, a Flexible Rate, a Term Rate or an Auction Rate, the succeeding
Rate Period of such Bonds shall be a Weekly Rate Period until the interest rate on such Bonds is adjusted to another Rate Period, and the Bonds shall be subject to purchase pursuant to Section 4.02. 
  
 (iii) Notice of Adjustment to or Continuation of Term
Rate. Except with respect to an adjustment to a Term Rate Period from a Flexible Rate, the Trustee shall give notice of an adjustment to (or the continuation of) a Term Rate Period to Owners of such Bonds, by first class mail, postage prepaid,
not less than twelve (12) days prior to the effective date of such Term Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to, or continue to be, a Term Rate (subject to receipt of the opinion of Bond
Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (ii), if required, and to the Borrower’s ability to rescind its election as described in Section 2.03(g) hereof), (2) the effective date and the last day of such Term Rate Period, (3)
that the Term Rate for such Term Rate Period will be determined on or prior to the effective date thereof, (4) how such Term Rate may be obtained from the Remarketing Agent, (5) the Interest Payment Dates after such effective date, (6) that all such
Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date, subject to the provisions of Section 4.04(f), (7) the procedures of such purchase and the payment of the purchase price and (8) the redemption provisions set forth in Section 3.01
hereof which will apply during such Term Rate Period. 
  
 (d) (i) Determination of Flexible Segments and Flexible Rates. During each Flexible Rate Period, each Bond shall bear interest during each Flexible Segment for such Bond as described herein. Different Flexible Segments and Flexible
Rates may apply to different Bonds at any time and from time to time. The Flexible Segment for each such Bond shall be a period of at least one day and not more than 270 days ending on a day that immediately precedes a Business Day, determined by
the Remarketing Agent to be the period which, together with all such other Flexible Segments for all Bonds then Outstanding, will result in the lowest overall interest expense on the Bonds over the succeeding 270 days. The Flexible Rate for each
Flexible Segment for each Bond shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York time on the Business Day preceding the first day of such Flexible Segment (and in time to enable the Remarketing Agent to give to the
Trustee the notice required by Section 4.04(c) hereof) to be the lowest interest rate which would enable the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bonds on the effective date of such rate at a price equal to 100% of the 

  

 21 

 
principal amount thereof. If a Flexible Segment or a Flexible Rate for a Flexible Segment is not determined or effective, the Flexible Segment for such Bond
shall be a Flexible Segment of one day, and the Flexible Rate for such Flexible Segment of one day shall be 105% of the most recent TBMA Swap Index. In no event shall the Flexible Rate for any Flexible Segment exceed the lesser of 12% per annum or
the maximum rate per annum then permitted by applicable law. The Remarketing Agent shall provide the Trustee with facsimile or telephonic notice of each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate, as provided in Section 4.04(c) hereof. 
  
 (ii) Adjustment to Flexible Rates. The Borrower, by
written direction to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, may elect that all (but not less than all) of the Bonds shall bear interest at Flexible Rates. Such
direction shall (A) specify the effective date of the Flexible Rate Period during which such Bonds shall bear interest at Flexible Rates, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day after the date of such direction (or
such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees), and shall be (1) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period or any day on which the Issuer at the
direction of the Borrower would be permitted to redeem such Bonds pursuant to, and at the redemption price described in, Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof and (2) in the case of an adjustment from an Auction Rate Period, the day immediately following the
end of the then-current Auction Rate Period; (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period having a duration in excess of one year, be accompanied by (1) a form of opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment (i) is
authorized or permitted by the Act and this Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of such Bonds and (2) written evidence of compliance with the terms of Section 5.14 of the Agreement; and (C) specify the Remarketing
Agent for the Bonds. During each Flexible Rate Period commencing on the date so specified or determined (provided that the requirements of clause (B) above have been met on such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of
the succeeding Rate Period, the interest rate borne by the Bonds shall be a Flexible Rate. 
  
 (iii) Notice of Adjustment to Flexible Rates. Except with respect to an adjustment to a Flexible Rate Period from a Flexible Rate
Period, the Trustee shall give notice of an adjustment to a Flexible Rate Period to Bondholders, by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than twelve (12) days prior to the effective date of such Flexible Rate Period. Such notice shall state
(1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to the Flexible Rate (subject to receipt of the opinion of Bond Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph (ii), if required, and to the Borrower’s ability to rescind its
election as described in Section 2.03(g) hereof), (2) the effective date of such Flexible Rate Period, (3) that all such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such effective date and (4) the procedures of such purchase and the payment of the
purchase price. 
  
 (iv) Adjustment from
Flexible Rates. At any time during a Flexible Rate Period, the Borrower may elect that the Bonds shall no longer bear interest at Flexible Rates and shall instead bear interest as otherwise permitted under this Indenture. The 

  

 22 

 
Borrower shall give written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer and the Remarketing Agent of such election
and shall specify the Rate Period to follow with respect to such Bonds upon cessation of the Flexible Rate Period and instruct the Remarketing Agent to (1) determine Flexible Segments of such duration that, as soon as possible, all Flexible Segments
shall end on the same date, not earlier than the fourteenth (14th) day (or such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees) after the date of such written notice from the Borrower, and upon the establishment of such Flexible Segments the day
succeeding the last day of all such Flexible Segments shall be the effective date of the Rate Period elected by the Borrower; or (2) determine Flexible Segments that will best promote an orderly transition to the succeeding Rate Period to apply to
such Bonds, beginning not earlier than the fourteenth (14th) day (or such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees) after the date of such written notice from the Borrower. If the Borrower elects the alternative in clause (2) above, the
day succeeding the last day of the Flexible Segment for each such Bond shall be, with respect to such Bond, the effective date of the new Rate Period elected by the Borrower. The Remarketing Agent, promptly upon the determination thereof, shall give
written notice of such last day and such effective dates to the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer and the Trustee. During any transitional period from a Flexible Rate Period to the succeeding Rate Period in accordance with
clause (2) above, the provisions of this Indenture shall be deemed to apply to such Bonds as follows: such Bonds continuing to bear interest at Flexible Rates shall have applicable to them the provisions hereunder theretofore applicable to such
Bonds as if all Bonds were continuing to bear interest at Flexible Rates and such Bonds bearing interest in the Rate Period to which the transition is being made will have applicable to them the provisions hereunder as if all such Bonds were bearing
interest in such Rate Period. 
  
 (e) (i) Determination of
Auction Rate. During each Auction Rate Period, the Bonds shall bear interest at the Auction Rate, determined pursuant to Exhibit C, Auction Procedures, attached hereto. 
  
 (ii) Adjustment to Auction Rate. The Borrower, by written direction to the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, and the Remarketing Agent, may elect that all (but not less than all) of the Bonds shall bear interest at an Auction Rate. Such direction shall (A) specify the effective date of such adjustment to an
Auction Rate, which shall be a Business Day not earlier than the fifteenth (15th) day after the date of such direction (or such shorter period of time to which the Trustee agrees) and shall be (1) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate
Period, the day immediately following the last day of the then current Term Rate Period or on any day on which the Issuer at the direction of the Borrower would be permitted to redeem such Bonds pursuant to, and at the redemption price described in,
Section 3.01(A)(3) hereof, and (2) in the case of an adjustment from a Daily Rate Period, a Weekly Rate Period or a Flexible Rate Period, an Interest Payment Date on which interest is payable for the Daily Rate Period, Weekly Rate Period or Flexible
Segment from which the adjustment is to be made; (B) in the case of an adjustment from a Term Rate Period having a duration in excess of one year, be accompanied by a form of opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such adjustment (i) is
authorized or permitted by the Act and this Indenture and (ii) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of 

  

 23 

 
such Bonds and (C) specify the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealer appointed by the Borrower for the Bonds in accordance with Appendix D. During each Auction
Rate Period commencing on the date so specified or determined (provided that the requirements of clause (B) above have been met on such date) and ending on the day immediately preceding the effective date of the succeeding Rate Period, the interest
rate borne by the Bonds shall be an Auction Rate. 
  
 In the event of an adjustment to an Auction Rate Period, the Auction Rate Period commencing on the effective date of such adjustment shall expire on and include the initial Auction Date (as defined in Exhibit C hereto). The initial Auction
Date (which shall be the day of the week on which Auctions (as defined in Exhibit C hereto) will generally be conducted) shall be determined by the Borrower on or prior to the effective date of such adjustment to an Auction Rate Period. The Auction
Rate for the initial Auction Rate Period shall be determined by the Broker-Dealer (as defined in Exhibit C) for the Bonds on or prior to the effective date of such adjustment to an Auction Rate Period as the lowest rate which, in the judgment of
such Broker-Dealer, is necessary to enable the Bonds to be remarketed on such effective date at a price (without regard to accrued interest) equal to the principal amount thereof. After the initial Auction Rate Period, each Auction Rate Period shall
be determined in accordance with Exhibit C hereto. For any other Auction Rate Period that is not an initial Auction Rate Period, the Auction Rate shall be the rate of interest determined in accordance with Exhibit C hereto. 
  
 (iii) Notice of Adjustment to Auction Rate. Except
with respect to an adjustment to an Auction Rate Period from a Flexible Rate, the Trustee shall give notice of an adjustment to an Auction Rate Period to Owners of such Bonds, by first class mail, postage prepaid, not less than twelve (12) days
prior to the effective date of such Auction Rate Period. Such notice shall state (1) that the interest rate on such Bonds will be adjusted to an Auction Rate (subject to receipt of the opinion of Bond Counsel referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph (ii) if required, and to the Borrower’s ability to rescind its election as described in Section 2.03(g) hereof), (2) the effective date of such Auction Rate Period, (3) that all such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on such
effective date and (4) the procedures of such purchase and the payment of the purchase price. 
  
 (f) Determinations Binding. The establishment and determination by the Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent, as applicable, of each Daily Rate, Weekly Rate, Term Rate, each Flexible Segment and Flexible Rate
and each Auction Rate shall, absent manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Trustee, the Issuer, the Borrower and the Bondholders. 
  
 (g) Rescission of Election; Automatic Adjustment. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the Borrower may rescind any election by it to adjust to or, in the case of a Term Rate Period, continue a Rate Period pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), (b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii) or (e)(ii) hereof prior to the
effective date of such adjustment or continuation by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent prior to such effective date. At the time
the Borrower gives notice to rescind any election by it to adjust to, or in the case of a Term Rate Period, 

  

 24 

 
continue a Rate Period pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(ii), (b)(ii), (c)(ii), (d)(ii) or (e)(ii) hereof, it may also elect to continue the then effective Rate
Period; provided, however, if the Rate Period then in effect is a Term Rate Period, the subsequent Term Rate Period shall not be of different duration than the Term Rate Period then in effect unless the Borrower, prior to the expiration of the
then-current Term Rate Period, provides to the Trustee and the Issuer an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the continuation in a Term Rate Period of a different duration does not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the affected Bonds.
If the notice of such rescission does not become effective for any reason, and the Borrower does not elect to continue the Rate Period then in effect, the Rate Period shall automatically adjust to or continue in a Daily Rate Period. If a Daily Rate
for the first day of any Daily Rate Period to which a Rate Period is adjusted under this Section 2.03(g) is not determined as provided in Section 2.03(a)(i) hereof, the Daily Rate for the first day of such Daily Rate Period shall be 105% of the most
recent TBMA Swap Index. The Trustee shall immediately give written notice of each such automatic adjustment to a Rate Period pursuant to this Section 2.03(g) to the Owners in the form provided in Section 2.03(a)(iii) hereof. 
  
 Notwithstanding the rescission of any notice to adjust or continue a Rate
Period, if notice has been given to Bondholders pursuant to Section 2.03(a)(iii), (b)(iii), (c)(iii), (d)(iii) or (e)(iii), the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory purchase as specified in such notice. 
  
 (h) Liquidity Provider Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Indenture, including any provision of this Section 2.03 relating to the determination of interest rates on the Bonds, but subject to Section 5.14 of the Agreement, any Liquidity Provider Bond shall bear interest at the rate, payable at the
times and in the manner, specified by the related Liquidity Facility. 
  
 (i) Bank Bonds. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, including any provision of this Section 2.03 relating to the determination of interest rates on the Bonds, but subject to Section 5.14 of the Agreement, any Bank
Bond shall bear interest at the rate, payable at the times and in the manner, specified in the related Reimbursement Agreement. 
  
 Section 2.04. Ownership, Transfer, Exchange and Registration of Bonds. The Issuer shall cause books for the registration and for the
transfer of the Bonds as provided herein to be kept by the Trustee, which is hereby constituted and appointed the Registrar and transfer agent for the Bonds. The Issuer shall prepare and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall keep custody of,
a supply of unauthenticated Bonds duly executed by the Issuer, as provided in Section 2.05 hereof, for use in the transfer and exchange of Bonds. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to complete such forms of Bonds as to principal amounts
and registered owners, in accordance with the provisions hereof, in effecting transfers and exchanges of Bonds as provided herein. 
  
 Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the Principal Office of the Trustee, duly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Trustee shall date and execute the certificate of authentication on and deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Bond or Bonds duly executed by the Issuer of Authorized Denominations and for a like aggregate principal amount.

 Any Bond or Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Trustee for a new Bond or Bonds of like
aggregate principal amount in Authorized Denominations. Upon surrender of any Bond or Bonds for exchange, the Trustee shall date and execute the certificate of authentication on and deliver a new Bond or Bonds duly executed by the Issuer which the
Bondholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 
  
 Except
in connection with the remarketing of any Bonds, the Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange any Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Bond or portion thereof for redemption, nor during the period of ten days preceding the
mailing of such notice of redemption. 
  
 Except as provided in
Section 4.03, hereof, the person in whose name any Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Bond shall be made only to
or upon the written order of the registered Owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such payments shall be valid and effective to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond
to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. 
  
 The Issuer and the
Trustee shall require the payment by the Bondholder requesting exchange or transfer (other than an exchange upon a partial redemption of a Bond) of any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or
transfer, but otherwise no charge shall be made to the Bondholder for such exchange or transfer. 
  
 Section 2.05. Execution of Bonds. The Bonds shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature
of the Chairman of its Board of Commissioners and its Treasurer and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Clerk or Deputy Clerk. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Trustee for authentication by it. In case any officer who shall
have signed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or delivered by the Registrar or issued by the Issuer, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and
issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall be as binding upon the Issuer as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers of the Issuer. Also, any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Issuer
by such persons as on the actual date of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers although on the nominal date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer. 
  
 Section 2.06. Authentication. No Bond shall be valid for any
purpose until the certificate of authentication on such Bond shall have been duly executed by the Trustee, and such authentication shall be conclusive proof that such Bond has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and that the
Owner thereof is entitled to the benefits of the trust hereby created. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by it if manually signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, but it
shall not be necessary that the same signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder. 
  

 26 

 Upon authentication of any Bond, the Trustee shall set forth on such Bond (1) the date of such
authentication and (2) if the Bonds are not Book-Entry Bonds, in the case of a Bond bearing interest at a Flexible Rate, such Flexible Rate, the day succeeding the last day of the applicable Flexible Segment, the number of days comprising such
Flexible Segment and the amount of interest to accrue during such Flexible Segment. 
  
 Section 2.07. Form of Bonds. The Bonds and the certificates of authentication to be executed thereon shall be in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, with such appropriate variations,
omissions and insertions as are permitted or required by this Indenture, or such other form as may be approved by the Issuer. 
  
 Upon adjustment to a Term Rate Period, the form of Bond may include a summary of the mandatory and optional redemption provisions to apply to the Bonds
during such Term Rate Period, or a statement to the effect that the Bonds will not be optionally redeemed during such Term Rate Period, and a statement indicating the applicable Term Rate and the duration of the applicable Term Rate Period, provided
that the Registrar shall not authenticate such a revised Bond form prior to receiving an opinion of Bond Counsel (a copy of which shall also be delivered to the Issuer) that such Bond form conforms to the terms of the Act and of this Indenture and
that authentication thereof will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of such Bonds. 
  
 Upon delivery of Bond Insurance for the Bonds, the form of the Bonds may include a summary of the terms of the Bond Insurance, provided that the Registrar shall not authenticate such a revised Bond form prior to
receiving an opinion of Bond Counsel (a copy of which shall also be delivered to the Issuer) to the effect that such Bond form conforms to the terms of the Act and of this Indenture and that authentication thereof will not adversely affect the
Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
  
 Section 2.08. Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Bonds. In the event any Bond or temporary Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Trustee may authenticate a new Bond duly executed by the Issuer of like date and denomination as that mutilated, lost,
stolen or destroyed; provided that, in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there shall be first furnished to the Trustee evidence of
such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee, together with indemnity to the Issuer and the Trustee satisfactory to them. In the event any such Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a duplicate Bond, the Trustee on behalf of the
Issuer may pay the same without surrender thereof. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Owner of such Bond with their reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Trustee in connection with the issue of
replacement Bonds, but nothing in this Section shall be construed in derogation of any rights which the Issuer, the Borrower or the Trustee may have to receive indemnification against liability, or payment or reimbursement of expenses, in connection
with the issue of a replacement Bond. 
  
 If, after the delivery
of such new Bond, a bona fide purchaser of the original Bond in lieu of which such new Bond was issued presents for payment or registration such original Bond, the Trustee shall be entitled to recover such new Bond from the person to whom it was
delivered or any person taking therefrom, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Trustee or the Issuer in
connection therewith. 
  

 27 

 Each duplicate Bond delivered in accordance with this Section, except as otherwise provided herein, shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to the benefit and security of this Indenture to the same extent as the Bond in lieu of which such duplicate Bond was delivered. 
  
 All Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the
foregoing provisions are, to the extent permitted by law, exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies. 
  
 Section 2.09. Temporary Bonds. Pending preparation of
definitive Bonds, or by agreement with the purchasers of all Bonds, the Issuer may issue and, upon its request, the Trustee shall authenticate, in lieu of definitive Bonds, one or more temporary printed or typewritten Bonds in Authorized
Denominations of substantially the tenor recited above. Upon request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Bonds in exchange for and upon surrender of an equal principal amount of temporary Bonds. Until so exchanged, temporary
Bonds shall have the same rights, remedies and security hereunder as definitive Bonds. 
  
 Section 2.10. Cancellation and Disposition of Surrendered Bonds. Whenever any Outstanding Bond shall be delivered to the Trustee for transfer, exchange or cancellation pursuant to this Indenture, upon
payment of the principal amount represented thereby, or for replacement pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, such Bond shall be promptly canceled and disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its ordinary customs and practices. 
  
 Section 2.11. Use of Certain Moneys in the Bond Fund Upon
Refunding. In the event that refunding bonds shall be issued by the Issuer to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on all or any portion of the Bonds, the net proceeds of the refunding bonds remaining after payment of expenses incident
to the refunding shall be deposited by the Issuer into the Bond Fund as provided in Section 6.03 hereof. All moneys remaining in the Bond Fund on the date of the refunding to be used to pay interest on the bonds to be refunded shall be held, as
collateral for the payment of the bonds to be refunded, by the Trustee, in trust for and on behalf of the Bondholders to be refunded, together with the portion of the proceeds of the sale of the refunding bonds so deposited and any investments or
reinvestments of such proceeds, in one or more separate subaccounts in the Bond Fund irrevocably in trust for the respective holders of bonds to be refunded, and upon defeasance of the bonds to be refunded as provided in Article VIII hereof shall be
held, invested and used as provided in Article VIII hereof. Investment income or profit on any such investments or reinvestments shall remain in the Bond Fund. 
  

Section 2.12. Delivery of the Bonds. Upon or at any time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate the Bonds and deliver them to the applicable Initial Purchaser as directed by the Issuer as hereinafter in this Section provided. 
  

 28 

 Prior to the delivery by the Trustee of any of the Bonds there shall be filed with the Trustee:

  
 (1) A copy of the Resolution, duly certified
by the Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the Issuer, authorizing issuance of such Bonds. 
  
 (2) Original executed counterparts of the Agreement, this Indenture, the Tax Certificate and the Initial Financial Guaranty Insurance
Policy. 
  
 (3) A request and authorization to
the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, signed by the Chairman and the Clerk or Deputy Clerk of the Issuer and acknowledged by the Borrower, to authenticate and deliver the Bonds pursuant to Section 2.14 hereof, registered in the names and in the
Authorized Denominations specified to the Trustee by the applicable Initial Purchaser, upon payment by such Initial Purchaser to the Trustee of the sum specified in such request and authorization for deposit in the Refunding Account, plus accrued
interest, if any, on the Bonds to the date of delivery. 
  
 Section 2.13. Book-Entry System. (a) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, any Bond may be authorized and issued as a Book-Entry Bond. 
  
 (b) For all purposes of this Indenture, the Owner of a Book-Entry Bond shall be the Securities Depository therefor and
neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent nor the Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to the beneficial owner of such Bond or to any direct or indirect participant
in such Securities Depository, except as expressly provided in this Indenture. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent nor the
Registrar shall have any responsibility or obligation to any such participant or to the beneficial owner of a Book-Entry Bond with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of the Securities Depository or any participant with respect to any
beneficial ownership interest in such Bond, (ii) the delivery to any participant of the Securities Depository, the beneficial owner of such Bond or any other person, other than the Securities Depository, of any notice with respect to such Bond,
including any notice of the redemption or purchase thereof, or (iii) the payment to any participant of the Securities Depository, the beneficial owner of such Bond or any other person, other than the Securities Depository, of any amount with respect
to the principal, redemption price, if applicable, or purchase price of, or interest on, such Bond. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent and the Registrar may treat the Securities
Depository therefor as, and deem such Securities Depository to be, the absolute owner of a Book-Entry Bond for all purposes whatsoever, including, but not limited to, (1) payment of the principal, redemption price, if applicable, or purchase price
of, and interest on, such Bond, (2) giving notices of redemption or purchase and of other matters with respect to such Bond, (3) registering transfers with respect to such Bond as permitted hereby and (4) except as expressly provided in this
Indenture, giving to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent or the Registrar any notice, consent, request or demand pursuant to the Indenture for any purpose whatsoever. The Trustee,
acting as Paying Agent, shall pay the principal or redemption price, if applicable, of, and interest on, a 

  

 29 

 
Book-Entry Bond, and the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, shall pay the purchase price of a Book-Entry Bond, only to or upon the order of the Securities
Depository therefor, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to satisfy fully and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to such principal or redemption price or purchase price, and interest, to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (d) of this Section 2.13, no person other than the Securities Depository shall receive a Bond or other instrument evidencing the Issuer’s obligation to make payments of the principal,
redemption price or purchase price thereof, and interest thereon. 
  
 (c) The Issuer, by notice to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Registrar, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent and a Securities Depository, may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and shall, at the
written direction of an Authorized Borrower Representative, terminate the services of such Securities Depository with respect to the Book-Entry Bonds for which such Securities Depository serves as securities depository if the Issuer determines that
(i) the Securities Depository is unable to discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Bond or (ii) a continuation of the requirement that all of the Bonds issued as Book-Entry Bonds be registered in the registration books of the Issuer kept
by the Trustee in the name of the Securities Depository is not in the best interests of the beneficial owners of such Bonds or of the Issuer. 
  
 (d) Upon the termination of the services of a Securities Depository with respect to a Book-Entry Bond pursuant to clause (ii) of subsection (c) of this
Section 2.13, such Bond no longer shall be restricted to being registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the name of a Securities Depository. Upon the termination of the services of a Securities Depository with respect to a
Book-Entry Bond pursuant to clause (i) of subsection (c) of this Section 2.13, the Issuer may, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, and shall, at the written direction of an Authorized Borrower Representative, within ninety (90) days
thereafter appoint a substitute securities depository which, in the opinion of the Issuer, is willing and able to undertake the functions of Securities Depository under this Indenture upon reasonable and customary terms. If no such successor can be
found within such period, such Book-Entry Bond shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the registration books of the Issuer kept by the Trustee in the name of a Securities Depository. In the event that a Book-Entry Bond shall no longer
be restricted to being registered in the registration books of the Issuer kept by the Trustee in the name of a Securities Depository, (i) the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon presentation and surrender of the
Book-Entry Bond, Bond certificates as requested by the Securities Depository so terminated of like principal amount, maturity and interest rate, in Authorized Denominations, to the identifiable beneficial owners in replacement of such beneficial
owners’ beneficial ownership interests in such Book-Entry Bond and (ii) the Trustee shall notify the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent and the Borrower that the Bonds are no longer restricted to being registered in the registration books of
the Issuer kept by the Trustee in the name of a Securities Depository; provided, however that such registration shall not be terminated by the Issuer or the Borrower without an opinion of Bond Counsel confirming that such termination of registration
will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of any Bonds. 
  
 (e) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, payment of the redemption price of a Book-Entry Bond, or portion thereof, called for redemption prior to maturity may be paid to the Securities Depository by wire transfer of
immediately available 

  

 30 

 
funds. Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, such redemption price may be paid without presentation and surrender to the Trustee, as
Paying Agent, of the Book-Entry Bond, or portion thereof, called for redemption; provided, however, that payment of (a) the principal payable at maturity of a Book-Entry Bond and (b) the redemption price of a Book-Entry Bond as to which the entire
principal amount thereof has been called for redemption shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of such Book-Entry Bond to the Trustee, as Paying Agent; and provided, further, that no such redemption price shall be so payable without
presentation and surrender unless such Book-Entry Bond shall contain or have endorsed thereon a legend substantially to the effect set forth in Exhibit A hereto (or such other legend(s) of similar content as may be determined to be necessary or
desirable by the Issuer or the Securities Depository). Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, upon any such payment to the Securities Depository without presentation and surrender, for all purposes of (i) the Book-Entry Bond as
to which such payment has been made and (ii) this Indenture, the unpaid principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding shall be reduced automatically by the principal amount so paid. In such event, the Trustee shall notify forthwith the
Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent as to the particular Book-Entry Bond as to which such payment has been made, and the principal amount of such Bond so paid, and the Trustee shall note such payment on the registration books of the Issuer kept
by it, but failure to make any such notation shall not affect the automatic reduction of the principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding as provided in this subsection. 
  
 (f) For all purposes of this Indenture authorizing or permitting the purchase of Bonds, or portions thereof, by, or for the
account of, the Issuer for cancellation, and anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a portion of a Book-Entry Bond may be deemed to have been purchased and cancelled without surrender thereof upon delivery to the Trustee of a
certificate executed by the Issuer and a participant of the Securities Depository therefor to the effect that a beneficial ownership interest in such Bond, in the principal amount stated therein, has been purchased by, or for the account of, the
Issuer through the participant of the Securities Depository executing such certificate; provided, however, that any purchase for cancellation of the entire principal amount of a Book-Entry Bond shall be effective for purposes of the Indenture only
upon surrender of such Book-Entry Bond to the Paying Agent; and provided, further, that no portion of a Book-Entry Bond may be deemed to have been so purchased and cancelled without surrender thereof unless such Book-Entry Bond shall contain or have
endorsed thereon the legend referred to in subsection (e) of this Section 2.13. Anything in the Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, upon delivery of any such certificate to the Trustee, for all purposes of (i) the Book-Entry Bond to which
such certificate relates and (ii) this Indenture, the unpaid principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding shall be reduced automatically by the principal amount so purchased. In such event, the Trustee shall immediately notify the
Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent as to the particular Book-Entry Bond as to which such payment has been made and the amount thereof and shall note such reduction in principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding on the registration books
of the Issuer kept by it, but failure to make any such notation shall not affect the automatic reduction of the principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding as provided in this subsection. 
  
 (g) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, a Securities
Depository may make a notation on a Book-Entry Bond (i) redeemed in part or (ii) purchased by, or for the account of, the Issuer in part for cancellation, to reflect, for informational purposes 

  

 31 

 
only, the date of such redemption or purchase and the principal amount thereof redeemed or deemed cancelled, but failure to make any such notation shall not
affect the automatic reduction of the principal amount of such Book-Entry Bond Outstanding as provided in subsection (e) or (f) of this Section 2.13, as the case may be. 
  
 (h) Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, in the case of a Book-Entry Bond, the Issuer shall be
authorized to redeem or purchase (by or for the account of the Issuer) less than all of the entire Outstanding principal amount thereof, and in the event of such partial defeasance, redemption, purchase or refunding, the provisions of the Indenture
relating to the defeasance, redemption, purchase or refunding of a Bond or Bonds shall be deemed to refer to the defeasance, redemption, purchase or refunding of a portion of a Bond. 
  
 (i) The Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent may enter into
an agreement with a Securities Depository for the Bonds providing for procedures for the registration, payment, tender and delivery of notices relating to the Bonds, provided that the terms of such agreement shall not be inconsistent with the terms
of this Indenture. Any such agreement may provide that (i) such Securities Depository is not required to present a Bond to the Trustee in order to receive a partial payment of principal; (ii) a Bond need not be delivered to the Trustee in order for
a tender of such Bond pursuant to Article IV of this Indenture to be effective or in order for the purchase price of such tendered Bond to be paid and that notice of tender of a Bond for purchase pursuant to Article IV hereof may be given to the
Trustee by a beneficial owner of a Bond or a direct participant of the Securities Depository; (iii) a legend with respect to the registration of the Bond in the name of the Securities Depository shall appear on each Bond so long as the Bonds are
subject to such agreement; and (iv) different provisions for notices to such Securities Depository may be set forth therein; and such provisions shall be binding on the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Tender Agent, the Remarketing Agent
and the Auction Agent for so long as such Securities Depository is the Securities Depository for Book-Entry Bonds hereunder. 
  
 Section 2.14. Delivery of the Bonds; Book-Entry System. (a) The Bonds are hereby authorized to be and shall be issued initially, subject to
the provisions of this Indenture, as Book-Entry Bonds within the meaning of and subject to Section 2.13 hereof. 
  
 (b) DTC is hereby appointed as the initial Securities Depository for the Bonds. 
  
 (c) The Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a separate single, fully registered Bond in the aggregate principal
amount thereof. So long as DTC serves as Securities Depository for the Bonds, the Owner of all Bonds shall be, and each of the Bonds shall be registered in the name of, Cede & Co. (“Cede”), as nominee for DTC. Upon delivery by DTC to
the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede, and subject to the transfer provisions of the Indenture, the word “Cede” in the Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of
DTC. So long as any Bond is registered in the name of Cede, as nominee for DTC in its capacity as Securities Depository for the Bonds, all payments with respect to the principal, redemption price, if applicable, or purchase price of, and interest
on, such Bond and all notices with respect to such Bond shall be made or given, as the case may be, to DTC as provided in the Indenture and in the representation letter of the Issuer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent and the
Auction Agent, delivered in connection with the issuance of the Bonds and addressed to DTC, as such representation letter may be amended and supplemented from time to time. 
  

 32 

 Section 2.15. CUSIP Numbers. “CUSIP” numbers may be used in issuing the Bonds
and, if so, the Trustee shall use such CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to the Bondholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

  
 ARTICLE III 
  
 REDEMPTION OF BONDS BEFORE MATURITY 
  
 Section 3.01. Redemption Dates and Prices. The Bonds shall be
subject to redemption prior to maturity in the amounts, at the times and in the manner provided in this Article III. 
  
 (A) Optional Redemption. 
  
 (1) On any Business Day during a Daily Rate Period or a Weekly Rate Period, and on the day after the last day of any such Rate Period, the
Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Issuer and the Trustee, in whole or in part, at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. 
  
 (2) On the day succeeding the last day of any Flexible
Segment, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Issuer and the Trustee, in whole or in part, at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date.

  
 (3) During the initial Term Rate Period, the
Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Issuer and the Trustee, in whole or in part from time to time, on any date on or after October 1, 2014, at a price of par plus accrued interest,
without premium. 
  
 During any other Term Rate
Period, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Issuer and the Trustee, in whole at any time or in part from time to time on any date (i) after ten years, at a redemption price of 101%
of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, and (ii) after eleven years, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest. 
  
 With respect to any Term Rate Period (other than the initial Term Rate Period), the Borrower may specify in
its notice of adjustment to or continuation of such Term Rate Period redemption prices and periods other than those set forth above for Bonds in such Rate Period not then called for redemption; provided, however, that such notice 

  

 33 

 
shall be accompanied by an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such changes in redemption prices and periods (i) are authorized or permitted by the
Act and this Indenture, and (ii) will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
  
 (4) During any Auction Rate Period, the Bonds shall be subject to redemption by the Issuer on the day following the last day of the
Auction Rate Period then in effect, at the written direction of the Borrower to the Issuer and the Trustee, in whole or in part, at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. 
  
 (5) The Bonds shall be redeemed in whole at any time at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Borrower stating that any of the following events has occurred and that it
therefore intends to exercise its option to prepay the payments due under the Agreement in whole pursuant to Section 7.1 of the Agreement and thereby effect the redemption of the Bonds in whole: 
  
 (a) all or substantially all of the Project shall be damaged
or destroyed and it is not practicable or desirable to rebuild, repair and restore the Project; 
  
 (b) all or substantially all of the Project shall be condemned or such use or control thereof shall be taken by eminent domain so as to
render the Project unsatisfactory for continued operation; 
  
 (c) unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities shall be imposed upon the Issuer or the Borrower with respect to the Project or the operation thereof; 
  
 (d) changes that cannot reasonably be controlled or overcome in the economic availability of materials,
supplies, labor, equipment and other properties and things necessary for the efficient operation of the Project for the purposes contemplated by the Agreement shall have occurred or technological changes that cannot reasonably be overcome shall have
occurred which, in the judgment of the Borrower, render the continued operation of the Project uneconomic; or 
  
 (e) legal curtailment of the use and occupancy of all or substantially all of the Project for any reason, which curtailment shall prevent
the carrying on of normal operations at the Project for a period of three consecutive months. 
  
 (B) Mandatory Redemption. 
  
 (1) The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date not more than 180 days after the occurrence of the
following event (of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall be given notice in writing by an Authorized Issuer Representative), upon fulfillment by the Borrower of its obligation to prepay the payments due under the Agreement in accordance
with Section 7.2 of the Agreement, if, as a result of any changes in the Constitution of the State or in the Constitution of the United States of America or of legislative or administrative action 

  

 34 

 
(whether state or Federal), or by final decree, judgment or order of any court or administrative body (whether state or Federal) entered after the contest
thereof by the Borrower in good faith, the Agreement shall have become impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purposes of the parties as expressed in the Agreement. 
  
 (2) The Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date not more than 180 days after the occurrence of the following event (of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall be given notice in writing by an Authorized Issuer
Representative), upon fulfillment by the Borrower of its obligation to prepay the payments due under the Agreement in accordance with Section 7.2 of the Agreement, in the event a final determination by an administrative agency or a court of
competent jurisdiction occurs to the effect that, solely as a result of failure by the Borrower to observe any covenant, agreement or representation by the Borrower in the Agreement, the interest payable on the Bonds is no longer Tax-Exempt. No
determination by any court or administrative agency will be considered final unless the Borrower has participated in the proceeding which resulted in such determination, either directly or, at the option of the Borrower, through an Owner to a degree
it reasonably deems sufficient and until the conclusion of any appellate review sought by any party to such proceeding or the expiration of the time for seeking such review. Subject to the foregoing, Bonds will be redeemed in whole unless, in the
opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer, the redemption of a portion of such Bonds would not, in and of itself, adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of interest payable on the Bonds remaining outstanding after such
redemption. 
  
 (C) Liquidity Provider Bonds. In addition
to the foregoing provisions for the redemption of Bonds, any Liquidity Provider Bond shall be subject to redemption at the time and in the amount and at the price specified by such Liquidity Facility. 
  
 (D) Bank Bonds. In addition to the foregoing provisions for the
redemption of Bonds, any Bank Bond shall be subject to redemption at the time and in the amount and at the price specified in the Reimbursement Agreement related thereto. Without limitation of the foregoing, the Trustee will call for redemption any
Bonds secured by a Letter of Credit upon the direction of the Bank that issued such Letter of Credit requesting redemption of such Bonds and certifying that an Event of Default has occurred under the Reimbursement Agreement relating to such Letter
of Credit. 
  
 Section 3.02. Notice of Redemption.
Notice of the call for any redemption of Bonds or any portion thereof (which shall be in Authorized Denominations) pursuant to Section 3.01 hereof identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, specifying the redemption date, the
redemption price, the place and manner of payment and that from the redemption date interest will cease to accrue, shall be given by the Trustee by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Owner of each
Bond to be redeemed in whole or in part, at the address shown on the registration books, with a copy to the Tender Agent, the Bond Insurer, the Bank, and the Liquidity Provider. Such notice shall be given at least thirty (30) days but not more than
sixty (60) days prior to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that failure to duly give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not affect the validity 

  

 35 

 
of any proceedings for the redemption of Bonds with respect to which no such failure or defect occurred; provided further that no notice of redemption shall
be required for any Bonds which are otherwise subject to mandatory purchase pursuant to Section 4.02(a); and provided further that, in the case of redemption of Bank Bonds pursuant to Section 3.01(D), such notice may be given not less than five (5)
days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Upon presentation and surrender of Bonds so called for redemption in whole or in part at the place or places of payment, except as otherwise provided in Section 2.13 hereof with respect to Book-Entry
Bonds, such Bonds or portions thereof shall be redeemed. 
  
 With
respect to any notice of redemption of Bonds at the written direction of the Borrower, unless upon the giving of such notice such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the meaning of Article VIII hereof, such notice may state (if so
directed by the Borrower in writing) that such redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt by the Trustee, on or before the date fixed for such redemption, of moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on such
Bonds to be redeemed, and that if such moneys shall not have been so received said notice shall be of no further force and effect and the Issuer shall not be required to redeem such Bonds. In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a
condition and such moneys are not so received, the redemption shall not be made and the Trustee shall within a reasonable time thereafter give notice to such Owners, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were
not so received. 
  
 Any notice mailed as provided in this Section
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Owner receives the notice. 
  
 If a Bond is presented to the Trustee for transfer after notice of redemption of such Bond has been mailed as herein provided, the Trustee shall deliver a
copy of such notice of redemption to the new Owner of such Bond. 
  
 In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice may be given by the Trustee as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner (i) defeat the
effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed or (ii) give rise to any liability on the part of the Issuer, the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent
or the Auction Agent: 
  
 A. Each further notice
of redemption given hereunder may contain the information required above for an official notice of redemption plus (i) the CUSIP number of the Bonds; (ii) the date of issue of the Bonds; (iii) the rate or rates of interest borne by the Bonds; (iv)
the maturity date of the Bonds; and (v) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed. 
  
 B. Each further notice of redemption may be sent to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial
amounts of obligations of types comprising the Bonds (such depositories as of the date hereof being only The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York). 
  

 36 

 C. Each further notice of redemption may be published one time in The Bond Buyer of New
York, New York or, if such publication is impractical, in some other financial newspaper or journal which regularly carries notices of redemption of other obligations similar to the Bonds, such publication to be made at the time the redemption
notice to the Owners is required to be given as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 3.02. 
  
 D. Each further notice of redemption may be given to two of the following services selected by the Borrower and at the address provided to
the Trustee by the Borrower: 
  
 (1) Financial
Information, Inc.’s Financial Daily Called Bond Service; 
  
 (2) Interactive Data Corporation’s Bond Service; 
  
 (3) Kenny Information Service’s Called Bond Service; 
  
 (4) Moody’s Municipal and Government Called Bond Service; or 
  
 (5) S&P’s Called Bond Record. 
  
 Section 3.03. Deposit of Funds. For the redemption of any of
the Bonds, the Issuer shall cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund out of the Revenues, to the extent available therefor, moneys sufficient to pay when due the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the redemption date. 
  
 Section 3.04. Partial Redemption of Bonds. In case a Bond is of
a denomination larger than the minimum Authorized Denomination, all or a portion of such Bond may be redeemed provided the principal amount not being redeemed is in an Authorized Denomination. Upon surrender of any Bond for redemption in part only,
the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner thereof, without cost to the Owner, a new Bond or Bonds of Authorized Denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond
surrendered. 
  
 Section 3.05. Selection of Bonds for
Redemption. If less than all of the Bonds are called for redemption, the Trustee shall select the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, from the Bonds Outstanding not previously called for redemption, by lottery or in such other manner
as in the Trustee’s sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, in either case in Authorized Denominations provided that Bank Bonds and Liquidity Provider Bonds shall be the first Bonds selected for redemption, and provided further that
the aggregate principal amount of each Bond remaining Outstanding following such redemption shall be in an Authorized Denomination. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer and the Borrower in writing of the Bonds or portions thereof selected
for redemption, provided, however, that in connection with any redemption of Bonds the Trustee shall select for redemption any Bonds held by the Trustee for the account of the Borrower or held of record by the Borrower prior to any Bonds other than
Bank Bonds or Liquidity Provider Bonds. If, as indicated in a certificate of an Authorized Borrower Representative delivered to the Trustee, the Borrower shall have offered to purchase all Bonds then outstanding and less than all such Bonds shall
have been tendered to the Borrower 

  

 37 

 
for such purchase, the Trustee, at the direction of the Borrower, shall select for redemption all such Bonds regardless of whether such Bonds have been so
tendered. If it is determined that one or more, but not all, of the units of principal amount represented by any such Bond is to be called for redemption, then, upon notice of intention to redeem such unit or units, the Owner of such Bond shall,
except as provided in Section 2.13 hereof with respect to Book-Entry Bonds, forthwith surrender such Bond to the Trustee for (a) payment to such Owner of the redemption price of the unit or units of principal amount called for redemption, and (b)
delivery to such Owner of a new Bond or Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond. New Bonds representing the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond shall be issued to the
Owner thereof, without charge therefor. If the surrender of such Bonds is required hereunder and the Owner of any such Bond shall fail to present such Bond to the Trustee for payment and exchange as aforesaid, such Bond shall, nevertheless, become
due and payable, and interest thereon shall cease to accrue, on the date fixed for redemption to the extent of the unit or units of principal amount called for redemption (and to that extent only). Payment of the redemption price by the Borrower for
any Bonds called for redemption constitutes full and complete payment of such Bonds.

 Section 4.03. Obligation to Surrender Bonds. 
  
 The giving of notice as provided in Section 4.01 hereof shall constitute the irrevocable tender for purchase of each such
Bond or portion thereof with respect to which such notice shall have been given, irrespective of whether such Bond shall be delivered as provided in Section 4.01. The occurrence of any event specified in Section 4.02(a) hereof shall constitute the

portion thereof shall cease to bear interest payable to the former Owner thereof, who thereafter shall have no rights with respect thereto, other than the right to receive the purchase price thereof upon surrender of such Bond to the Trustee, acting
as Tender Agent, and such Bond or portion thereof shall be no longer outstanding. If such Bonds are no longer Book-Entry Bonds, the Trustee shall authenticate, register and deliver new Bonds in replacement of such Bonds or portions thereof deemed so

hereof, the Remarketing Agent shall offer for sale and use its reasonable best efforts to sell such Bonds on the date such Bonds are to be purchased at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to
the purchase date; provided that Bonds in a Term Rate Period which are then redeemable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) hereof shall be purchased at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus a premium equal to the redemption
premium, if any, that would be payable if such Bonds were to be redeemed on the date they are to be purchased, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the date of purchase. The Remarketing Agent shall not sell any Bonds to the Issuer or

Agent, as set forth in Section 4.04(e) hereof and verification by the Remarketing Agent that such Bonds conform to the instructions contained in the notice given by the Remarketing Agent to the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.04(c) hereof. 

 
 Any remarketing proceeds received by the Remarketing Agent in excess of such amounts so
transferred shall be delivered as provided in Section 4.06 as soon as practicable after the receipt thereof.

provided that moneys derived from the sources specified in Section 4.05(a) hereof in an amount equal to the purchase price therefor shall have been received by the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, by 1:00 p.m., New York time, such new Bonds shall be
delivered by 2:00 p.m., New York time; and 
  
 (ii) in the case of Bonds which are being purchased pursuant to Section 4.02(a)(i) hereof, such new Bonds shall be delivered by 4:00 p.m., New York time. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, except in connection with a mandatory tender under Section 4.02, Bank Bonds shall be
remarketed only if and to the extent that the payment of such Bonds (immediately after the remarketing thereof), whether upon tender, maturity, interest payment date, redemption, acceleration or otherwise, will be secured by the Letter of Credit
issued by the Bank, unless a Letter of Credit is no longer required to support such Bonds. 
  
 (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Indenture, upon adjustment of any Bonds to a Term Rate the Borrower may elect not to provide a Liquidity Facility and to have the provisions of this
Section 4.04(f) apply, provided that such provisions are disclosed to the purchasers of such Bonds. In such event, the Borrower shall not be obligated to pay the purchase price of Bonds subject to mandatory tender at the end of the applicable Term
Rate Period, and the following shall apply: 
  
 (i) If moneys sufficient to pay the purchase price of tendered Bonds shall not be held by the Tender Agent on the date such Bonds are to be purchased and it shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder or under the Financing Agreement
if the Bonds are not purchased upon tender on any date on which any Bond is required to be purchased (the “Purchase Date”) due to such insufficiency; and no purchase shall be consummated as of such Purchase Date and the Tender Agent shall,
after any applicable grace period, (A) return all tendered Bonds to the Holders thereof and (B) return all remarketing proceeds to the Remarketing Agent for return to the Persons providing such moneys; and such Bonds shall bear interest at a Daily
Rate equal to 10% per annum during the period of time from and including the applicable Purchase Date to (but not including) the date that all such Bonds are successfully remarketed (the “Delayed Remarketing Period”). 
  
 (ii) On each Business Day following the failed remarketing,
the Remarketing Agent shall continue to use its best efforts to remarket the Bonds in the Daily Rate Period or such other Rate Period designated by the Trustee, at the direction of the Borrower. Once the Remarketing Agent has advised the Trustee
that it has a good faith belief that it is able to remarket all of the Bonds into the designated Rate Period, the Trustee, at the direction of the Borrower, will give notice by mail to the Holders of the Bonds not later than five Business Days prior
to the last day of the Delayed Remarketing Period, which notice will state (1) that the interest rate on the Bonds will continue to be a Daily Rate 

  

 42 

 
equal to 10% per annum or will be adjusted to a Term Rate, Weekly Rate, Flexible Rate or Auction Rate on and after the last day of the Delayed Remarketing
Period; (2) that such Bonds will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the last day of the Delayed Remarketing Period; (3) the procedures for such mandatory tender; (4) the Purchase Price of the Bonds on the last day of the Delayed
Remarketing Period (expressed as a percentage of the principal amount thereof); and (5) the consequences of a failed remarketing as set forth in (i) above. 
  
 (iii) During the Delayed Remarketing Period, the Trustee may, upon direction of the Borrower, apply amounts available for redemption of
the Bonds pursuant to the Indentures to the redemption of the Bonds as a whole or in part on any Business Day during the Delayed Remarketing Period, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with interest accrued thereon
to the date fixed for redemption, without premium. 
  
 (iv) During the Delayed Remarketing Period, interest on such Bonds shall be paid to the Holders thereof on the first Business Day of each calendar month occurring during the Delayed Remarketing Period and on the last day of the Delayed
Remarketing Period. Payment of such interest shall be made by the Trustee from the Bond Fund pursuant to the Indentures. 
  
 Section 4.05. Purchase of Bonds Tendered to Trustee. 
  
 (a) By the close of business on the date Bonds or portions thereof are to be purchased pursuant to Section 4.01 or 4.02
hereof by the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, such Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, shall purchase, but only from the funds listed below, such Bonds or portions thereof (in Authorized Denominations) from the Owners thereof at a purchase price equal
to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest, if any, to the date of purchase; provided that Bonds in a Term Rate Period which are then redeemable pursuant to Section 3.01(A) hereof shall be purchased at a purchase price equal to 100% of
the principal amount thereof plus a premium equal to the redemption premium, if any, that would be payable if such Bonds were to be redeemed on the date they are to be purchased, together with accrued interest, if any, thereon to the date of
purchase. Funds for the payment of such purchase price of Bonds shall be derived from the following sources in the order of priority indicated: 
  
 (i) proceeds of the remarketing of such Bonds pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof to any purchaser except the Issuer or the Borrower;

  
 (ii) proceeds of a draw on any Letter of
Credit or Liquidity Facility for such Bonds ; 
  
 (iii) moneys furnished for such Bonds by the Borrower to the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, pursuant to Section 4.2(b) of the Agreement or Section 4.5 of the Agreement. 
  
 Notwithstanding anything in this Section 4.05(a) to the contrary, during an Auction Rate Period, Bonds shall be purchased in
accordance with the Auction Procedures. 
  

 43 

 (b) The Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, shall: 
  
 (i) hold all Bonds delivered to it pursuant to Section 4.01
or 4.02 hereof in trust for the benefit of the respective Bondholders which shall have so delivered such Bonds until moneys representing the purchase price of such Bonds shall have been delivered to or for the account of or to the order of such
Bondholders; and 
  
 (ii) hold all moneys
delivered to it hereunder for the purchase of such Bonds in trust for the benefit of the person or entity which shall have so delivered such moneys in a separate and segregated fund (a “segregated fund”), and not commingle such funds with
any other funds or invest such funds, until such Bonds purchased with such moneys shall have been delivered or deemed delivered to or for the account of such person or entity; provided, that funds delivered pursuant to Sections 4.05(a)(i) and (ii)
shall be kept in a separate subaccount within the segregated fund from any funds received from the Borrower under Section 4.05(a)(iii); provided, further, that any moneys so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the purchase of
Bonds within one (1) year after the date of purchase shall be paid by the Trustee to the Borrower upon the written direction of the Authorized Borrower Representative and thereafter the former Bondholders shall be entitled to look only to the
Borrower for payment of such purchase price, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid, and the Borrower shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such moneys, and the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with respect to such moneys. To the extent any moneys are held by the Trustee for the payment of the purchase price of such Bonds which have not been presented for payment, such moneys shall not be invested. 
  
 Bonds subject to purchase under this Section 4.05 shall be deemed purchased
for all purposes of this Indenture, irrespective of whether or not such Bonds shall have been presented to the Tender Agent, and the former Owner or Owners of such Bonds shall have no claim thereon, under this Indenture or otherwise for any amount
other than the purchase price thereof and such Bonds shall no longer be deemed to be Outstanding for purposes of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 4.06. Delivery of Purchased Bonds. 
  
 (a) Bonds sold by the Remarketing Agent pursuant to Section 4.04 hereof shall be delivered to the Remarketing Agent, as specified in Section 4.04(e)

 (b) Bonds purchased by the Trustee, acting as Tender
Agent, hereunder: 
  
 (i) with moneys described
in clause (ii) of Section 4.05(a) hereof (“Liquidity Provider Bonds” or “Bank Bonds,” as applicable), shall be held by the Trustee, as Tender Agent, and registered to the Bank or the Liquidity Provider or its designee, as
applicable (except as otherwise instructed by the Bank or the Liquidity Provider, as applicable). The Remarketing Agent shall seek to remarket any Liquidity Provider Bonds or Bank Bonds, as applicable, prior to remarketing any other Bonds tendered
for purchase. Upon notice by the Liquidity Provider or Bank that such Liquidity Provider or Bank has been reimbursed by the Borrower for the payment of all amounts drawn under the Liquidity 

  

 44 

 
Facility or Letter of Credit, as applicable, the Trustee shall hold the Liquidity Provider Bonds or Bank Bonds, as the case may be, in trust for the Borrower
and such Bonds shall thereafter cease to be Liquidity Provider Bonds or Banks Bonds and shall be thereafter treated as Borrower Bonds, until remarketed as provided herein. The Remarketing Agent shall seek to remarket Borrower Bonds only after
remarketing all other Bonds tendered for purchase. The proceeds of any remarketing of Liquidity Provider Bonds or Bank Bonds shall be transferred by the Trustee to the Liquidity Provider or the Bank, as applicable. Upon receipt by the Trustee of
funds representing the proceeds of the remarketing of Liquidity Provider Bonds or Bank Bonds, Bonds in place of such Liquidity Provider Bonds or Bank Bonds, as applicable, so purchased shall be made available for pick-up by the Remarketing Agent for
subsequent delivery to the purchasers thereof, or the ownership interest shall be transferred to the new direct participants on the books of DTC. Prior to or simultaneously with such delivery, the proceeds of such remarketing shall have been or
shall be transferred to the Liquidity Provider or the Bank and the Liquidity Facility or the Letter of Credit, as applicable, shall either have been reinstated or the amount available for the drawing thereunder shall have been automatically
increased to cover the remarketed Bonds as provided in the Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit and confirmed in writing by the Liquidity Provider or the Bank; and 
  
 (ii) with moneys described in clause (iii) of Section 4.05(a) hereof shall, at the direction of the
Borrower, be (A) held by the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent, for the account of the Borrower, (B) canceled or (C) delivered to the Borrower. 
  
 Section 4.07. No Sales After Default. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, there shall be no remarketing of Bonds
pursuant to this Article IV if there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default under Section 9.01 hereof; provided, that nothing in this Section 4.07 shall be construed as prohibiting purchases of Bonds pursuant to Section 4.01 or
4.02 hereof. 
  
 Section 4.08. Remarketing Agent. At
any time at which the Bonds bear interest at a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate or a Flexible Rate, there shall be a Remarketing Agent in place with respect to such Bonds, appointed in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.08. The Borrower shall
appoint a Remarketing Agent, with the consent of the Liquidity Provider or the Bank, as applicable, prior to the delivery of any notice of conversion to a Daily Rate Period, Weekly Rate Period or Flexible Rate Period pursuant to Section
2.03(a)(iii), (b)(iii), (c)(iii) or (d)(iii), respectively. The Borrower, with the consent of the Liquidity Provider or the Bank, as applicable, may remove the Remarketing Agent at any time upon at least five (5) Business Days’ notice in
writing. The Remarketing Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of its duties and obligations created by this Indenture by giving at least thirty (30) Business Days’ notice to the Issuer, the Borrower, any Bond Insurer and the Trustee
or such shorter period as the Issuer, the Borrower, the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent agree. Upon removal or resignation of the Remarketing Agent with respect to Bonds then bearing interest at a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate or a Flexible Rate, the
Borrower shall, with the consent of the Liquidity Provider or the Bank, as applicable, appoint a successor Remarketing Agent for such Bonds. 
  

 45 

 Any Remarketing Agent appointed under this Section 4.08 shall signify its acceptance of the duties and
obligations imposed upon it hereunder by a written instrument of acceptance delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower which shall set forth such procedural and other matters relating to the remarketing of the Bonds as shall be
satisfactory to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Borrower. No removal of or resignation by the Remarketing Agent shall become effective until a successor Remarketing Agent has delivered a written acceptance of appointment to the Trustee and the
Borrower has provided the notice required by Section 5.7 of the Agreement, unless at the time of such removal or resignation there is no requirement that there be a Remarketing Agent. 
  
 Section 4.09. Qualifications of Remarketing Agent. The Remarketing Agent shall be a member of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture. 
  
 Section 4.10. Tender and Purchase of Book-Entry Bonds. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, at any time that
Bonds subject to tender are Book-Entry Bonds, the provisions of this Article IV are modified as follows: 
  
 (a) Any notice pursuant to Section 4.01(a)(i) or 4.01(b)(i) hereof may be given by any direct participant in the Securities Depository acting on behalf of
either any owner of a beneficial interest in such Bonds or any indirect participant in the Securities Depository acting on behalf of such an owner, provided that any such notice shall not be required to contain the bond number of Bonds to be
tendered for purchase and the Trustee may conclusively rely on any written certification or representation by a person, firm, corporation or other entity that it is acting as a direct participant in the Securities Depository for such Bonds for the
purposes of giving any such notice. 
  
 (b) Delivery of such Bonds
to the Trustee, as provided in Sections 4.01(a)(ii) or 4.01(b)(ii) and 4.02(b) hereof, shall be effected by book-entry credit to the account of the Trustee on the records of the Securities Depository, at or prior to 1:00 p.m., New York time, on the
date such Bonds or portions thereof are required to be tendered to the Trustee for purchase, of a beneficial interest in such Bonds to be purchased on such date. 
  
 (c) The Remarketing Agent shall give the information required by Section 4.04(c) hereof to the Securities Depository instead
of to the Trustee, but shall at the same time give facsimile or telephonic notice to the Trustee specifying the principal amount of such Bonds which it has been unable to remarket (if such be the case). 
  
 (d) The Remarketing Agent shall deliver remarketing proceeds in accordance
with the provisions of Section 4.04(d) hereof to the Securities Depository instead of to the Trustee, acting as Tender Agent. 
  
 (e) Section 4.04(e) hereof shall be inapplicable. 
  
 (f) The provisions of Sections 4.05 and 4.06 hereof shall apply only if Bonds are purchased with moneys described in clauses (i) and (iii) of Section

 Section 4.11. Draws on the Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit for Purchase of Bonds.
The Trustee or Tender Agent, as applicable, shall draw funds under any Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit supporting the Bonds in an amount necessary and in sufficient time (as set forth by the terms of such Liquidity Facility or Letter of
Credit) so as to provide to the Trustee the balance of the funds needed to purchase tendered Bonds, taking into account any remarketing proceeds received by the Trustee or Tender Agent, as applicable, not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on
the Business Day prior to the date on which Bonds are to be purchased, or not later than 10:45 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which Bonds in a Daily Rate Period are to be purchased. If the Remarketing Agent remarkets Bonds after 1:00 p.m.,
New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the date on which Bonds are to be purchased (or 10:45 a.m., New York City time, on the date on which Bonds in a Daily Rate Period are to be purchased), the Trustee shall still draw on the Liquidity
Facility or Letter of Credit for such Bonds in an amount necessary and in sufficient time (as set forth by the terms of such Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit) so as to provide the balance of the funds needed to purchase tendered Bonds, without
taking into account any remarketing proceeds other than those specified in the Remarketing Agent’s notice pursuant to Section 4.04(c) hereof. The Trustee shall transfer to the Liquidity Provider or the Bank any excess moneys received from a
draw on the Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit for such Bonds that are not needed to pay the purchase price of such Bonds on the date on which Bonds are to be purchased. 
  
 ARTICLE V 
  
 PAYMENT; FURTHER ASSURANCES 
  
 Section 5.01. Payment of Principal or Redemption Price of and Interest on Bonds. The Issuer shall promptly pay or cause to be paid the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, every Bond issued hereunder according to the terms thereof, but shall be required to make such payment or cause such payment to be made only out of Revenues. The Issuer hereby appoints the Trustee

 Section 5.02. Extension or Funding of Claims for Interest. In
order to prevent any accumulation of claims for interest after maturity, the Issuer shall not, directly or indirectly, extend or assent to the extension of the time for the payment of any claim for interest on any of the Bonds, and shall not,
directly or indirectly, be a party to or approve any such arrangement by purchasing or funding such claims or in any other manner. In case any such claim for interest shall be extended or funded, whether or not with the consent of the Issuer, such
claim for interest so extended or funded shall not be entitled, in case of default hereunder, to the benefits of this Indenture, except subject to the prior payment in full of the principal of all of the Bonds then outstanding and of all claims for
interest which shall not have been so extended or funded. 
  
 Section 5.03. Preservation of Revenues. The Issuer shall not take any action to interfere with or impair the pledge and assignment hereunder of Revenues and the assignment to the Trustee of rights under the Agreement, or the
Trustee’s enforcement of any rights thereunder, without the prior written consent of the Trustee. The Trustee may give such written consent only in accordance with the provisions of Article IX hereof. 
  

 47 

 Section 5.04. Other Liens. So long as any Bonds are outstanding, the Issuer shall not

out of Revenues in any manner other than in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and shall not suffer or permit any default to occur under this Indenture, but shall faithfully observe and perform all the covenants, conditions and
requirements hereof. 
  
 Section 5.06. Performance of
Covenants. The Issuer covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in this Indenture, in any and every Bond executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder
and in all of its proceedings pertaining thereto; provided, however, that except for the matters set forth in Section 5.01 hereof the Issuer shall not be obligated to take any action or execute any instrument pursuant to any provision hereof until
it shall have been requested to do so by the Borrower, or shall have received the instrument to be executed and at the Issuer’s option shall have received from the Borrower assurance satisfactory to the Issuer that the Issuer shall be
reimbursed for its reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with taking such action or executing such instrument. The Bonds and interest and premium, if any, thereon, and any obligation of the Issuer under the Agreement or this
Indenture, shall never constitute a debt or indebtedness of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision or limitation and shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against
its general credit or taxing powers. 
  
 Section 5.07. Right
to Payments Under Agreement; Instruments of Further Assurance. The Issuer covenants that it will defend its right to the payment of amounts due from the Borrower under the Agreement to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Bondholders against
the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. The Issuer covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such indentures supplemental hereto and such further acts,
instruments and transfers as are necessary or as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, transferring, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee all and singular the rights assigned hereby and the amounts
pledged hereto, to the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. The Issuer covenants and agrees that, except as provided herein and in the Agreement, it will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise
dispose of any part of the Revenues or its rights under the Agreement. 
  
 Section 5.08. Tax Covenants. 
  
 (a)
Pursuant to the Agreement and the Tax Certificate, the Borrower covenants to maintain the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds pursuant to Section 103 of the Code and will take, or require to be taken, such acts as may be reasonably within its ability and
as may from time to time be required under applicable law and regulation to continue the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds; and in furtherance of such covenants, the Issuer agrees to comply with the Tax Certificate. 
  

 48 

 (b) Pursuant to the Agreement and the Tax Certificate, the Borrower covenants that it will not take any
action or fail to take any action with respect to the Bonds which would cause such Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of such term as used in Section 148 of the Code. 
  
 (c) Pursuant to the Agreement and the Tax Certificate, the Borrower shall
make any and all payments required to be made to the United States Department of the Treasury in connection with the Bonds pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code from amounts on deposit in the funds and accounts established under this Indenture and
available therefor. 
  
 (d) Pursuant to the Agreement and the Tax
Certificate, the Borrower covenants that it will not use or permit the use of any property financed with the proceeds of the Bonds by any person (other than a state or local governmental unit) in such manner or to such extent as would result in a
loss of the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
  
 (e)
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as necessary in order to maintain the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds under the Code, as applicable, the covenants in this Section 5.08 shall survive the payment of the
Bonds and the interest thereon, including any payment or defeasance thereof pursuant to Section 8.01 hereof. 
  
 Section 5.09. Inspection of Project Books. The Issuer and the Trustee covenant and agree that all books and documents in their possession
relating to the Project and the Revenues shall at all times, upon reasonably prior written notice, be open to reasonable inspection by such accountants or other agencies as the other party may from time to time designate. 
  
 Section 5.10. Rights Under Agreement. The Agreement, a duly
executed counterpart of which has been filed with the Trustee, sets forth the covenants and obligations of the Issuer and the Borrower, and reference is hereby made to the same for a detailed statement of said covenants and obligations of the
Borrower thereunder, and the Issuer agrees that the Trustee in its name or in the name of the Issuer may enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Borrower under and pursuant to the Agreement for itself and on behalf of the
Bondholders, whether or not the Issuer is in default hereunder. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent the Issuer from enforcing directly any and all of its rights under Sections 4.2(d), 4.2(e), 4.2(h) and 6.4 of the Agreement.

  
 Section 5.11. Continuing Disclosure. Pursuant to
Section 5.11 of the Agreement, the Borrower shall undertake to satisfy the continuing disclosure requirements promulgated under S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12, as it may from time to time hereafter be amended or supplemented, if applicable. The Issuer shall
have no liability to the holders of the Bonds or any other person with respect to such disclosure matters. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, failure of the Borrower to comply with the requirements of S.E.C. Rule 15c2-12, as it
may from time to time hereafter be amended or supplemented, shall not be considered an Event of Default; however, the Trustee, subject to Article X, may (and, at the request of the Remarketing Agent or the holders of at least 25% aggregate principal
amount of Outstanding Bonds, shall), or any Bondholder or beneficial owner of any Bonds may, take such actions as may be necessary and appropriate, including seeking mandate or specific performance by court order, to cause the Borrower to comply
with its obligations under Section 5.11 of the Agreement. 
  

 49 

 Section 5.12. Delivery of Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit;
Termination of Letter of Credit. 
  
 (a) Following the
initial delivery of the Bonds, whenever the Borrower has delivered to the Trustee a commitment for the delivery of a Liquidity Facility, a Letter of Credit or Bond Insurance pursuant to Section 5.12, 5.13 or 5.15 of the Agreement, as applicable, the
Trustee shall mail by first class mail a notice to all Bondholders (and any Bond Insurer, any Liquidity Provider and any Bank which shall continue to provide Bond Insurance, a Liquidity Facility or a Letter of Credit with the Bonds following
delivery of such new Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit) stating: (i) the name of the Bond Insurer, Liquidity Provider or Bank, as applicable; (ii) the date on which such new Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit
will become effective; and (iii) the rating expected to apply to the Bonds after such new Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit is delivered. Such notice shall be mailed at least ten (10) days prior to the effective date of such new

 (b) Upon receipt of any Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit (other than the Initial Financial Guaranty
Insurance Policy), the Trustee shall provide notice thereof to the Issuer, each Rating Agency then rating the Bonds and the Borrower. 
  
 (c) Not later than ten (10) days before the Expiration Date of any Letter of Credit (including expiration upon replacement), the Trustee shall mail notice
of such expiration and notice that all such Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on the Business Day before such Expiration Date (or, in the case of replacement with Bond Insurance, a Liquidity Facility or a Letter of Credit, on the effective
date of such Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit, in which case any draw to pay the purchase price of such Bonds shall be made on the expiring Letter of Credit). Such notice may be included in the notice given pursuant to
paragraph (a) of this Section, if applicable. 
  
 ARTICLE VI

  
 REVENUES AND FUNDS 
  
 Section 6.01. Source of Payment of Bonds; Liability of Issuer Limited
to Revenues. The Bonds and all payments required of the Issuer hereunder are not general obligations of the Issuer but are limited obligations of the Issuer. The Trust Estate is pledged and assigned to the payment of the principal of and
interest and premium, if any, on, and the purchase price of, the Bonds. The payments provided in subsection (a) of Section 4.2 of the Agreement are to be remitted directly to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer and deposited in the Bond Fund.
Such payments, sufficient in amount to insure the prompt payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, are pledged to such payment. 
  

 50 

 All Revenues shall be held in trust for the benefit of the holders from time to time of the Bonds, but
shall nevertheless be disbursed, allocated and applied solely for the uses and purposes hereinafter set forth in this Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.01, that portion of the Revenues permitted to be returned to
the Borrower under Section 6.10 hereof shall not be subject to the pledge and lien of this Indenture. 
  
 The Bonds shall not constitute a debt or liability or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Issuer or the State, but shall be payable solely from the
funds herein provided therefor. The issuance of the Bonds shall not directly or indirectly or contingently obligate the Issuer, the State or any political subdivision thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any
appropriation for their payment. 
  
 Notwithstanding any
provisions of the Agreement or this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer shall not be required to advance any moneys derived from any source other than Revenues and other assets pledged under this Indenture for any purposes mentioned in this
Indenture, whether for the payment of the principal or purchase price of, or redemption premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or otherwise; provided, however, the Issuer may, but shall not be required to, advance funds of the Issuer which may be
available to it for such purposes. 
  
 Section 6.02.
Creation of the Bond Fund. There is hereby created by the Issuer and ordered established with the Trustee a trust fund to be designated “Clark County, Nevada Industrial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds (Southwest Gas Corporation
Project) Series 2004B - Bond Fund” (the “Bond Fund”), which shall be used to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and the interest on the Bonds. 
  
 If a Letter of Credit is applicable to the Bonds, the Trustee shall create within the Bond Fund an account called the
“Letter of Credit Account,” into which all moneys drawn under any Letter of Credit to pay principal, interest, or redemption price (including premium, if any) of the Bonds shall be deposited and disbursed. Neither the Borrower nor the
Issuer shall have any rights to or interest in the Letter of Credit Account. The Letter of Credit Account shall be established and maintained by the Trustee and held in trust apart from all other moneys and securities held under this Indenture or
otherwise, and the Trustee shall have the exclusive and sole right of withdrawal of funds from the Letter of Credit Account for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the Bonds. No moneys from the Letter of Credit Account may in any circumstance be
used to pay principal or redemption price (including premium, if any) of or interest on any Bank Bonds or Borrower Bonds. 
  
 Section 6.03. Payments Into the Bond Fund. There shall be deposited into the Bond Fund from time to time the following: 
  
 (a) all accrued interest, if any, paid by the Initial Purchasers;

  
 (b) all payments specified in Section 4.2(a) of the Agreement;
and 
  
 (c) all other moneys received by the Trustee under and
pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 of this Indenture or the Bond Insurance or by any of the provisions of the Agreement, when accompanied by directions from the person depositing such moneys that such moneys are to be paid into the Bond
Fund. 
  

 51 

 The Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that so long as any of the Bonds issued hereunder are outstanding
it will cause to be deposited in the Bond Fund sufficient amounts from Revenues promptly to meet and pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable. Nothing herein shall be construed as
requiring the Issuer to use any funds or revenues from any source other than the Trust Estate. 
  
 Section 6.04. Draws on the Letter of Credit. 
  
 (a) The Trustee shall draw moneys under any Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof in an amount necessary to make timely payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds secured by
such Letter of Credit, other than Bonds owned by or for the account of the Borrower or the Bank, when due whether at maturity, interest payment date, redemption, acceleration or otherwise. In addition, the Trustee shall draw moneys under any such
Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof to the extent necessary to make timely payments required to be made pursuant to, and in accordance with Sections 4.01, 4.02 and 4.11 hereof. 
  
 (b) Immediately after making a drawing under any Letter of Credit which has
been honored, the Trustee shall reimburse the Bank, in accordance with the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement and Section 6.04(c) hereof, for the amount of the drawing using moneys, if any, contained in: 
  
 (ii) the Bond Fund, if the drawing was to pay principal or
interest on the Bonds enhanced by such Letter of Credit; and 
  
 (iii) the redemption account, if the drawing was to redeem Bonds enhanced by such Letter of Credit 
  
 (c) Each payment to the Bank described in the immediately preceding subsection shall be made by the Trustee by wire transfer to the Bank (to such account
as the Bank may from time to time indicate) of the applicable amount immediately following, and on the same Business Day as, the Bank’s initiation of payment of the corresponding drawing under the Letter of Credit. 
  
 (d) If the Trustee has made a proper drawing on the Letter of Credit and the
Bank wrongfully fails to make a payment for debt service due on the Bonds by 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) or the Letter of Credit has been repudiated, the Trustee, upon a Responsible Officer becoming aware of such event, shall immediately notify
the Borrower and request payment of the debt service due in immediately available funds by 4:00 p.m. (New York City time). 
  
 (e) The Trustee shall comply with the procedures set forth in any Letter of Credit relating to the termination, surrender and cancellation thereof.

  
 (f) If a Letter of Credit is enhancing the Bonds, the Trustee
shall hold and maintain each Letter of Credit for the benefit of the Bondholders, until such Letter of Credit expires in accordance with its terms. Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee shall enforce all terms, covenants and
conditions of each Letter of Credit, including payment when due of any draws on such Letter of Credit, and the provisions relating to the payment of draws on, and reinstatement of amounts that may be drawn under, such Letter of Credit, and will not

  

 52 

 
consent to, agree to or permit any amendment or modification of such Letter of Credit which would materially adversely affect the rights or security of the
Holders of the Bonds enhanced by such Letter of Credit. If at any time during the term of any Letter of Credit any successor Trustee shall be appointed and qualified under this Indenture, the resigning or removed Trustee shall request that the Bank
transfer such Letter of Credit to the successor Trustee. If the resigning or removed Trustee fails to make this request, the successor Trustee shall do so before accepting appointment. 
  
 Section 6.05. Use of Moneys in the Bond Fund and Certain Other Moneys. Except as provided in Sections 4.11,
6.07, 6.10 and 10.03 hereof and subject to the provisions of the Tax Certificate, moneys in the Bond Fund shall be used solely for (i) the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same shall become due and
payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise, or (ii) to reimburse the Bank for draws on the Letter of Credit used to make the payments described in (i). Funds for such payments of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds
held by Owners other than the Bank, the Liquidity Provider, the Bond Insurer or the Borrower, shall be derived from the following sources in the order of priority indicated: 
  
 (a) moneys paid into the Letter of Credit Account of the Bond Fund for the Bonds from a draw by the Trustee under any Letter
of Credit enhancing the Bonds; 
  
 (b) from moneys paid into the
Bond Fund pursuant to Section 6.03(a) hereof which shall be applied to the payment of interest on the Bonds; 
  
 (c) from moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to Article VIII hereof, such moneys to be applied only to the payment of the principal of and premium, if
any, and interest on Bonds which are deemed to be paid in accordance with Article VIII hereof; 
  
 (d) from proceeds of refunding bonds pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.11 of this Indenture and from income from the investment of such proceeds; and 
  
 (e) from all other amounts on deposit in the Bond Fund, including amounts paid by the Borrower pursuant to the provisions of
Section 4.2(a) or Article VII of the Agreement, and proceeds from the investment thereof. 
  
 Section 6.06. Custody of the Bond Fund. The Bond Fund shall be in the custody of the Trustee but in the name of the Issuer and the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Trustee to withdraw in
accordance with the provisions of Section 6.05 of this Indenture sufficient funds from the Bond Fund to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same become due and payable, which authorization and direction the
Trustee hereby accepts. 
  
 Section 6.07. Non-Presentment of
Bonds. In the event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity or otherwise, or at the date fixed for redemption thereof or in the event any interest payment thereon is unclaimed,
if moneys sufficient to pay such Bond or interest shall have been deposited in the Bond Fund, all liability of the Issuer to the Owner thereof for the payment of such Bond or interest shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged,
and thereupon it shall be 

  

 53 

 
the duty of the Trustee to hold such moneys, without liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the Owner of such Bond who shall thereafter be
restricted exclusively to such moneys, for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with respect to, said Bond. Any moneys so deposited with and held by the Trustee not so applied to the payment of Bonds or such
interest, if any, within one (1) year after the date on which the same shall have become due shall be paid by the Trustee to the Borrower upon the written direction of an Authorized Borrower Representative and thereafter Bondholders shall be
entitled to look only to the Borrower for payment, and then only to the extent of the amount so repaid, and the Borrower shall not be liable for any interest thereon and shall not be regarded as a trustee of such moneys and the Trustee shall have no
further responsibility with respect to such moneys. 
  
 Section
6.08. Trustee Fees, Charges and Expenses. The Trustee agrees that the Issuer shall have no liability for any fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee, and the Trustee agrees to look only to the Borrower for the payment of all fees,
charges and expenses of the Trustee as provided in the Agreement and in this Indenture. 
  
 Section 6.09. Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys required to be deposited with or paid to the Trustee for deposit into the Bond Fund or into the Refunding Account under any provision hereof, all
moneys withdrawn from the Bond Fund and held by the Trustee and any moneys withdrawn from the Refunding Account and held by the Trustee shall be held by the Trustee in trust, and such moneys (other than moneys held pursuant to Section 6.07 hereof)
shall, while so held, constitute part of the Trust Estate and be subject to the lien hereof. Moneys held for the payment of the purchase price of Bonds pursuant to Article IV hereof shall not constitute part of the Trust Estate and shall be held in
a special purpose trust account which will be established and maintained by the Trustee and held for the exclusive benefit of the holders of Bonds with respect to which such purchase was made. 
  
 Section 6.10. Repayment to the Borrower from the Bond Fund. Any
amounts remaining in the Bond Fund after payment in full of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Outstanding Bonds (or provision for payment thereof as provided in this Indenture), the fees, charges and expenses of the Issuer,
the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, and all other amounts required to be paid under the Agreement, the Bond Insurance, the Liquidity Facility, the Letter of Credit, and this Indenture shall be
paid to the Borrower as provided in Section 9.5 of the Agreement. 
  
 Section 6.11. Revenues to be Paid Over to Trustee. The Issuer will cause the Revenues to be paid to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund in accordance with the terms of this Indenture to effect payment of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as the same become due. 
  
 Section 6.12. Payments of Principal and Interest. The Trustee shall pay from Revenues received by the Trustee, in the order of priority indicated in Section 6.05 hereof, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on,
the Bonds as the same become due and payable. If, prior to the maturity of any Bond, the Borrower surrenders such Bond to the Trustee for cancellation, the Trustee shall cancel such Bond. 
  

 54 

 Section 6.13. Revenues to be Held for all Bondholders; Certain Exceptions. Revenues and
investments thereof shall, until applied as provided in this Indenture, be held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of all Outstanding Bonds, except as provided by Sections 2.11, 6.07 and 6.10 hereof and except that any portion of the
Revenues representing principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, any Bonds previously called for redemption in accordance with Article III of this Indenture or previously matured or representing unclaimed interest on the Bonds shall be held
for the benefit of the Owners of such Bonds only and shall not be deposited or invested pursuant to Article VII hereof, notwithstanding any provision of Article VII. 
  
 Section 6.14. Rebate Fund. There is hereby created by the Issuer and ordered established with the Trustee a
custodial fund to be designated the “Clark County, Nevada Industrial Development Refunding Revenue Bonds (Southwest Gas Corporation Project) Series 2004B - Rebate Fund” (the “Rebate Fund”). The Trustee shall establish within the
Rebate Fund a separate account designated “Tax-Exempt”. The Trustee covenants and agrees to deposit to the Rebate Fund amounts paid to the Trustee by the Borrower pursuant to Section 4.2(g) of the Agreement and, at the written direction of
an Authorized Borrower Representative, to withdraw from such Rebate Fund such amounts at such times in order to pay the Rebate Requirement (as defined in the Tax Certificate) in accordance with the Tax Certificate. Funds on deposit in the Rebate
Fund are not part of the Trust Estate. 
  
 Section 6.15.
Bond Insurance Payments. As long as any Bond Insurance shall be in full force and effect hereunder, the Issuer, the Trustee and any Paying Agent agree to comply with the following provisions: 
  
 (a) at least one (1) day prior to all Interest Payment Dates the Trustee or
Paying Agent will determine whether there will be sufficient funds in the Bond Fund to pay the principal of or interest on the Bonds on such Interest Payment Date. If the Trustee or Paying Agent determines that there will be insufficient funds in
such Bond Fund, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall so notify the Bond Insurer. Such notice shall specify the amount of the anticipated deficiency and whether the Bonds will be deficient as to principal or interest, or both. If the Trustee or Paying
Agent has not so notified the Bond Insurer at least one (1) day prior to an Interest Payment Date, the Bond Insurer will make payments of principal or interest due on the Bonds on or before the first (1st) day following the date on which the Bond
Insurer shall have received notice of nonpayment from the Trustee or Paying Agent. 
  
 (b) the Trustee or Paying Agent shall, after giving notice to the Bond Insurer as provided in (a) above, make available to the Bond Insurer and, at the Bond Insurer’s direction, to an insurance trustee for the
Bond Insurer or any successor insurance trustee (the “Insurance Trustee”), the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee or Paying Agent, and all records relating to the funds maintained under the Indenture. 
  
 (c) the Trustee or Paying Agent shall provide the Bond Insurer and the
Insurance Trustee with a list of registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Bond Insurer under the terms of the Bond Insurance, and shall make arrangements with the Insurance Trustee (i) to mail checks or
drafts to the registered owners of such Bonds entitled to receive full or partial interest payments from the Bond Insurer and (ii) to pay principal upon such Bonds surrendered to the Insurance Trustee by the registered owners of Bonds entitled to
receive full or partial principal payments from the Bond Insurer. 
  

 55 

 (d) the Trustee or Paying Agent shall, at the time it provides notice to the Bond Insurer pursuant to (a)
above, notify registered owners of Bonds entitled to receive the payment of principal or interest thereon from the Bond Insurer (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that the Bond Insurer will remit to them all or a part of the interest
payments next coming due upon proof of Bondholder entitlement to interest payments and delivery to the Insurance Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, of an appropriate assignment of the registered owner’s right to payment,
(iii) that should they be entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must surrender their Bonds (along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee to permit ownership of
such Bonds to be registered in the name of the Bond Insurer) for payment to the Insurance Trustee, and not the Trustee or Paying Agent, and (iv) that should they be entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, they must
surrender their Bonds for payment thereon first to the Trustee or Paying Agent, who shall note on such Bonds the portion of the principal paid by the Trustee or Paying Agent, and then, along with an appropriate instrument of assignment in form
satisfactory to the Insurance Trustee, to the Insurance Trustee, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal. 
  
 (e) in the event that the Trustee or Paying Agent has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Bond which has become due for payment and
which is made to a Bondholder by or on behalf of the Issuer has been deemed a preferential transfer and theretofore recovered from its registered owner pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the
final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Trustee or Paying Agent shall, at the time the Bond Insurer is notified pursuant to (a) above, notify all registered owners that in the event that any registered owner’s
payment is so recovered, such registered owner will be entitled to payment from the Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery if sufficient funds are not otherwise available, and the Trustee or Paying Agent shall furnish to the Bond Insurer its
records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds which have been made by the Trustee or Paying Agent and subsequently recovered from registered owners and the dates on which such payments were made. 
  
 (f) in addition to those rights granted the Bond Insurer hereunder, the Bond
Insurer shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance, and to evidence such subrogation (i) in the

 INVESTMENT OF MONEYS 
  
 Section 7.01. Investment of Moneys. The Trustee shall invest and reinvest any moneys held as part of the Bond Fund upon the written
direction of an Authorized Borrower Representative in Permitted Investments. Any such investments shall be held by or under the control of the Trustee and shall be deemed at all times a part of the fund for which they were made. The interest
accruing thereon, any profit realized from such investments and any loss resulting from such investments shall be credited or charged to such fund in accordance with Section 3.4 of the Agreement. The Trustee shall sell and reduce to cash a
sufficient amount of such investments of the Bond Fund, each in accordance with written directions or oral directions promptly confirmed by telecopy or other writing of an Authorized Borrower Representative, whenever the cash balance in the Bond
Fund is insufficient to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. Moneys comprising proceeds of a draw on a Letter of Credit or Liquidity Facility, and other moneys held for the payment of the purchase price of
Bonds pursuant to Article IV hereof or the payment of Bonds pursuant to Section 6.07 and 6.13 hereof, shall be held uninvested. 
  
 Section 7.02. Investments; Arbitrage. The Trustee may make any and all investments permitted by the provisions of Section 7.01 hereof
through its own bond department. The Trustee may act as principal or agent in the making or disposing of any investments, and may act as sponsor, advisor or manager in connection with any such investments. The provisions of this subsection shall
apply to affiliates of the Trustee. As and when any amount invested pursuant to this Article may be needed for disbursement, the Trustee may cause a sufficient amount of such investments to be sold and reduced to cash to the credit of such funds.

  
 The Borrower has covenanted in Section 5.11 of the Agreement
that it will not take any action or fail to take any action with respect to the Bonds to cause the Bonds to be treated as “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code. 
  
 ARTICLE VIII 
  
 DEFEASANCE 
  
 Section 8.01. Defeasance. (A) If the Issuer shall pay or cause
to be paid, or there shall be otherwise paid or provision for payment made to or for the Bondholders the principal, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated therein, and if the Issuer shall
keep, perform and observe all the covenants and promises in the Bonds and in this Indenture expressed as to be kept, performed and observed by it or on its part, and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums of money due or to become due
according to the provisions hereof, then this Indenture and the lien, rights and interests created hereby shall cease, determine and become null and void (except as to any surviving rights of payment, registration, transfer or exchange of Bonds
herein provided for), whereupon the Trustee upon written request of an Authorized Issuer Representative shall cancel and discharge this Indenture, and execute and deliver to the Issuer such instruments in writing as shall be requested by an
Authorized Issuer Representative and requisite to discharge this

moneys held for the payment of particular Bonds. 
  
 (B) Any Bond
or Authorized Denomination thereof shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Indenture when (a) payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on such Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof, plus interest thereon to the due date
thereof (whether such due date is by reason of maturity or upon redemption as provided herein) either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, (ii) shall have been provided for by depositing, to the extent
permitted by the Act, sufficient amounts as described in clause (1), (2), (3) and/or (4) below for such payment with the Trustee, or (iii) in the case of a Bond which bears interest at a Flexible Rate or a Term Rate, shall have been provided for by

premium if any, and interest thereon unless there shall have been delivered an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such treatment will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of any Bonds hereunder and will not cause such Bonds to be
treated as sold or otherwise disposed of for the purposes of Section 1001 of the Code (or any successor provision), and (c) the Borrower shall cause to be delivered, upon request of 

  

 58 

 
the Bond Insurer, (i) expect in the case of a gross defeasance with cash, in which case the Borrower shall have no such obligation, a report of an

Bonds in full on the maturity or redemption date, (ii) an escrow deposit agreement (which shall be acceptable in form and substance to the Bond Insurer), and (iii) an opinion of nationally recognized bond counsel to the effect that the Bonds are no
longer Outstanding hereunder, and (iv) a certificate of discharge of the Trustee with respect to the Bonds, each verification and defeasance opinion shall be acceptable in form and substance, and addressed, to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bond
Insurer. The Bond Insurer shall be provided with final drafts of the above-referenced documentation prior to the funding of the escrow. The Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding unless and until they are in fact paid and retired or above criteria are
met. At such times as a Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, such Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture (other than

 (C) Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, in the case of a Bond or
Authorized Denomination thereof which by its terms may be redeemed prior to the stated maturity thereof, no deposit under clause (a)(iii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such Bond or Authorized Denomination
thereof as aforesaid until: (a) proper notice of redemption of such Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof shall have been previously given in accordance with Article III of this Indenture, or in the event said Bond or Authorized Denomination
thereof is not to be redeemed within the succeeding seventy-five (75) days, until the Borrower shall have given the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable instructions to notify, as soon as practicable, the
Owner of such Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof in accordance with Article III hereof, that the deposit required by (a)(iii) above has been made with the Trustee and that said Bond or Authorized Denomination thereof is deemed to have been paid

the particular Bonds or Authorized Denominations thereof (including interest and premium thereon, if any) with respect to which such moneys and government obligations have been so set aside in trust. 
  
 (E) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that the
principal and/or interest due on the Bonds shall be paid by the Bond Insurer pursuant to the Bond Insurance, the Bonds shall remain Outstanding for all purposes, not be defeased or otherwise satisfied and not be considered paid by the Issuer, and

 ARTICLE IX 
  
 DEFAULT PROVISIONS AND REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE AND BONDHOLDERS 
  

Section 9.01. Defaults; Events of Default. If any of the following events occurs with respect to the Bonds, it is hereby defined as and

 (d) The occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Agreement;

covenants, agreements or conditions in this Indenture or in the Bonds and failure to remedy the same after notice thereof pursuant to Section 9.10 hereof; 
  
 (f) While the Bonds are supported by a Letter of Credit, the Trustee shall have received written notice from the Bank of the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to the Bonds, as such term is defined under the Reimbursement Agreement, and requesting that the Trustee declare an acceleration of the Bonds pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof; and 
  
 (g) While the Bonds are supported by a Letter of Credit, the Trustee shall
receive written notice from the Bank within ten (10) calendar days after an interest drawing under the Letter of Credit, or as otherwise provided in the Reimbursement Agreement, that the Bank has not reinstated the amount so drawn. 
  
 Section 9.02. Acceleration. Upon the occurrence and continuance
of an Event of Default under Section 9.01 hereof, the Trustee may, and upon the written request of the 

  

 60 

 
Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding, shall (in all cases only with the consent of the Bank or the
Bond Insurer, to the extent required by Section 9.03), by notice in writing delivered to the Borrower, with copies to the Issuer, the Bond Insurer, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, declare the principal
of all Bonds and the interest accrued thereon to the date of such declaration immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable; provided that interest shall continue to accrue
until all such amounts are paid. On the date of any such declaration, the Trustee shall promptly draw upon any then existing Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof and apply the amount so drawn to pay the principal of and interest on
the Bonds so declared to be due and payable. Upon any such declaration, the Trustee shall declare all indebtedness related to the Bonds and payable under Section 4.2(a) of the Agreement to be immediately due and payable in accordance with Section
6.2 of the Agreement and may exercise and enforce such rights as exist under the Agreement and this Indenture. The above provisions are subject to waiver, rescission and annulment as provided in Section 9.09 hereof. Upon receipt of notice pursuant
to Section 9.01(f) or Section 9.01(g) from the Bank, the Trustee shall promptly draw upon the related Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof and apply the amount so drawn to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds. 

 
 Each Rating Agency shall receive immediate notice from the Trustee of any
acceleration of the Bonds pursuant to Section 9.01(g). 
  
 Section 9.03. Remedies; Rights of Bondholders and Bond Insurer. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 9.01 hereof, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy at law or in equity by suit,
action, mandamus or other proceeding to enforce the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds then outstanding and to enforce and compel the performance of the duties and obligations of the Issuer as herein set
forth. In addition, the Trustee may, without notice to the Issuer or the Borrower, exercise any and all remedies afforded the Issuer under Article VI of the Agreement in its name or the name of the Issuer without the necessity of joining the Issuer.

  
 Subject to the limitations set forth in the last two
paragraphs of this Section 9.03, if an Event of Default under Section 9.01 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, and if requested so to do by the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding
and indemnified as provided in Section 10.01(i) hereof, the Trustee shall be obliged to exercise such one or more of the rights and powers conferred by this Section 9.03 and Section 9.02 hereof with respect to the Bonds, in all cases as the Trustee
(being advised by Counsel) shall deem most expedient in the interests of the Bondholders. 
  
 No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Bondholders) is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall
be in addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or to the Bondholders hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. 
  
 No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right, power or remedy or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every such right, power or remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. 
  

 61 

 Neither the Trustee nor Bondholders may waive any Event of Default hereunder without the consent of any
Bond Insurer, and no waiver, whether by the Trustee, the Bondholders or the Bond Insurer, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon. 
  
 Anything in this Indenture or the Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding,
upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, except during the continuance of an Insurer Default, the Bond Insurer shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the Bondholders
or the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders hereunder or under the Agreement covered by such Bond Insurance, including, without limitation: (i) the right to accelerate the principal of the Bonds as described herein, (ii) the right to annul any
declaration of acceleration, and (iii) and the right to request the Trustee or receiver to intervene in judicial proceedings that affect the Bonds or the security therefor, and the Bond Insurer, except during the continuance of an Insurer Default
applicable to such Bond Insurer, shall also be entitled to approve all waivers of Events of Default hereunder and under the Agreement. 
  
 Except as superceded by the powers of the Bond Insurer set forth in the previous paragraph with respect to remedies on default and except in the event of
a Bank Default, upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Bank shall be entitled to control and direct the enforcement of all rights and remedies granted to the Bondholders or the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders
hereunder covered by such Letter of Credit, including, without limitation: (i) the right to accelerate the principal of the Bonds as described herein and (ii) the right to annul any declaration of acceleration, and the Bank, except in the event of a
Bank Default applicable to such Bank, shall also be entitled to approve all waivers of Events of Default hereunder; provided that in no event shall any direction of the Bank alter the obligations of the Trustee to draw upon a Letter of Credit
securing the Bonds following an Event of Default under Section 9.01(g). 
  
 Section 9.04. Right of Bondholders to Direct Proceedings. Other than as provided in Section 9.03, the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right, at any
time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the time, method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and conditions of this Indenture,
or for the appointment of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder; provided, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture and could not involve the Trustee in personal
liability. 
  
 Section 9.05. Application of Moneys.
All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article shall, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses,

 62 

 (a) Unless the principal of all the Bonds shall have become or shall have been declared due and payable,
all such moneys shall be applied: 
  
 FIRST - To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all interest then due on the Bonds (other than interest due on the Bonds for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture), and, if the
amount available shall not be sufficient to pay said amount in full, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; 
  
 SECOND - To the payment to the persons entitled
thereto of the unpaid principal of and premium, if any, on any Bonds which shall have become due (other than with respect to Bonds matured or called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture), and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full such unpaid principal and premium, then to the payment ratably to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege; and 
  
 THIRD - To the payment to the persons entitled
thereto of interest on overdue principal of and premium, if any, on any Bonds without preference or priority as between principal or premium or interest one over the others, or any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or
of any Bond over any other Bond, and if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay such amounts in full, then ratably, without any discrimination or privilege. 
  
 (b) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys
shall be applied to the payment of the principal and premium, if any, and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds (other than Bonds matured or called for redemption or interest due on Bonds for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to
the provisions of this Indenture), without preference or priority of principal, premium or interest one over the others, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according
to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege. 
  
 (c) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled
under the provisions of this Article, then, subject to the provisions of Section 9.05(b) hereof in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.05(a) hereof. 
  
 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. Whenever the Trustee shall apply such moneys, it shall fix the date upon which such
application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such date shall cease to accrue. 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. 
  

 63 

 Whenever all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all Bonds have been paid under the

the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds.

appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless (i) a default has occurred of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge or has been notified as provided in subsection (g) of Section 10.01 hereof, (ii) such
default shall have become an Event of Default hereunder and be continuing and shall not be subject to control by the Bank or the Bond Insurer under Section 9.03, (iii) the Owners of more than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then

notification, request and offer of indemnity are hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the
enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder. No one or more Bondholders shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and
all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Owners of all Bonds then outstanding. Nothing in this Indenture shall, however, affect or impair

Section 9.03, which shall apply at all times with respect to any 

  

 64 

 
Bonds then secured by a Letter of Credit or Bond Insurance, the Trustee may in its discretion waive any Event of Default hereunder and rescind its
consequences and shall do so upon the written request of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding (in all cases only with the consent of any Bank and any Bond Insurer); provided, however,
that there shall not be waived any Event of Default in the payment of the principal of, or premium on, any Outstanding Bonds when due (whether at maturity or by redemption), or any Event of Default in the payment when due of the interest on any such
Bonds, unless prior to such waiver and rescission, all arrears of principal of and interest upon such Bonds, and interest on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Bonds on the date on which such principal became due and payable, and all arrears
of premium, if any, when due, together with the reasonable expenses of the Trustee and of the Owners of such Bonds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred, shall have been paid or provided for; provided further, there shall not
be waived any Event of Default in the payment when due of any purchase prices of any Bonds pursuant to Article IV hereof, unless prior to such waiver and rescission all arrears of such purchase prices, together with reasonable expenses of the
Trustee and of the Owners of such Bonds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred, shall have been paid or provision therefor made. In the case of any such waiver and rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on
account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively,
but no such waiver and rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent thereon. All waivers under this Indenture shall be in writing and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Borrower, the
Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent. 
  
 The provisions of
Sections 9.01 and 9.02 hereof are subject to the conditions that if, after the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding shall have been declared to be due and payable, all arrears of principal of and interest upon such Bonds, and the premium, if any,
on all Bonds then Outstanding which shall have become due and payable otherwise than by acceleration, and all other sums payable under this Indenture, except the principal of, and interest on, the Bonds which by such declaration shall have become
due and payable, shall have been paid by or on behalf of the Issuer, together with the reasonable expenses of the Trustee and of the Owners of such Bonds, including reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or incurred, and if no other defaults shall
have occurred and be continuing, and, to the extent that a Letter of Credit is then in effect with respect to any Bonds, the amount available for interest draws under such Letter of Credit shall have been reinstated by the Bank in writing, then and
in every such case, the Trustee shall, with the consent of any Bank and any Bond Insurer, as applicable pursuant to Section 9.03, annul such declaration of maturity and its consequences, which waiver and annulment shall be binding upon all
Bondholders; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. In the case of any such annulment, the Borrower, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders
shall be restored to their former positions and rights under this Indenture. All waivers and annulments under this Indenture shall be in writing and a copy thereof shall be delivered to the Issuer, the Bond Insurer, the Bank, the Borrower, the
Remarketing Agent and the Auction Agent, as applicable. 
  
 Section 9.10. Notice of Event of Default Under Section 9.01(E) Hereof; Opportunity of Borrower to Cure Defaults. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no default described in Section 9.01(e) hereof shall constitute
an Event of Default until actual 

  

 65 

 
notice of such default, requiring that it be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, by registered or certified
mail shall be given to the Issuer, the Borrower and, unless such notice is given by the Trustee, the Trustee, and the Issuer or the Borrower on behalf of the Issuer shall have had ninety days after receipt of such notice to correct said default or
cause said default to be corrected, and shall not have corrected said default or caused said default to be corrected within the applicable period; provided, however, if said default be such that it cannot be corrected within the applicable period,
it shall not constitute an event of default if corrective action is instituted within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected and the fact of such non-correction, corrective action and diligent pursuit is
evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate of an Authorized Borrower Representative or an Authorized Issuer Representative. A “Notice of Default” may be given by (i) any Bond Insurer, (ii) the Trustee or (iii) the Owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then Outstanding. 
  
 Whenever, so long as the Borrower is not in default under the Agreement, after a reasonable request by the Borrower, the Issuer shall fail, refuse or neglect to give any direction to the Trustee or to require the Trustee to take any other
action which the Issuer is required to have the Trustee take pursuant to the provisions of the Agreement or this Indenture, the Borrower instead of the Issuer may give any such direction to the Trustee or require the Trustee to take any such action.
Upon receipt by the Trustee of a written notice signed by the Authorized Borrower Representative stating that the Borrower has made reasonable request of the Issuer, and that the Issuer has failed, refused or neglected to give any direction to the
Trustee or to require the Trustee to take any such action, the Trustee is hereby irrevocably empowered and directed to accept such direction from the Borrower as sufficient for all purposes of this Indenture. The Borrower shall have the direct right
to cause the Trustee to comply with any of the Trustee’s obligations under this Indenture to the same extent that the Issuer is empowered so to do. 
  
 Certain actions or failures to act by the Issuer under this Indenture may create or result in an event of default under this Indenture and the Issuer
hereby grants the Borrower full authority, to the extent permitted by law, for account of the Issuer to perform or observe any covenant or obligation of the Issuer alleged in a written notice to the Issuer and the Borrower from the Trustee not to
have been performed or observed, in the name and stead of the Issuer with full power to do any and all things and acts to remedy any default. 
  
 Section 9.11. Rights of the Bank. All consents, approvals and requests required of the Bank shall be deemed not required if the Bank has
failed to fulfill its obligations to make payments under the Letter of Credit in accordance with the terms thereof or a Bank Default has occurred and is continuing. The Trustee, in its exercise of its rights for the benefit of the Bondholders under
this Article IX and the rights of the Issuer assigned under this Indenture (but not including the rights of the Trustee or the Issuer under this Indenture for its own benefit including, but not limited to, indemnification and any fees and expenses
owed to it), in the event that all Outstanding Bonds are Bank Bonds, shall be subject to the direction of the Bank, subject to the rights of the Bond Insurer set forth herein. In the event that less than all Outstanding Bonds are secured by the Bank
pursuant to the Letter of Credit, the Bank shall be treated as the owner of all Bank Bonds for purposes of giving directions, consents, waivers or other actions. Except as otherwise provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 9.03 hereof, in no
event shall Bonds secured by a Letter of Credit be accelerated without the prior written consent of the 

  

 66 

 
Bank so long as the Letter of Credit is in full force and effect and the Bank has not defaulted thereunder (i) by failing to honor a draft submitted under
the Letter of Credit in strict conformity therewith or (ii) in any other material respect, and all interest draws under the Letter of Credit have been reinstated. 
  
 Section 9.12. Bond Insurer Treated as Sole Holder of the Bonds. So long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, any Bond Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole Bondholder for purposes of exercising all rights and remedies of the Bondholders, including approval of amendments to this Indenture and the Agreement, but excluding (a) any
right to payment of principal, interest or premium on the Bonds to the extent not paid by the Bond Insurance, (b) except as expressly provided in this Section 9.12, any rights and remedies of the Bondholders that are subject to the consent, approval
or control of the Insurer, (c) any right of the Bondholders to be reimbursed for fees and expenses pursuant to Section 9.09, (d) any right to be restored upon waiver, rescission or discontinuance of an Event of Default pursuant to Section 9.09 and
(e) any right to give notice of an Event of Default under Section 9.10.

 THE TRUSTEE 
  
 Section 10.01. Acceptance of the Trusts by Trustee. The Trustee
hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, represents and covenants that it is fully empowered to accept said trusts, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee: 
  
 (a) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, custodians, nominees, receivers or employees and shall not be responsible for the
supervision of, or the acts of any attorneys, agents or receivers appointed by it in good faith and without negligence, and shall be entitled to advice of Counsel concerning all matters of trusts hereof and the duties hereunder, and shall in all
cases be reimbursed, pursuant to Section 10.03, for such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents and receivers as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of
Counsel. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice. 
  
 (b) Except for its certificate of authentication on the Bonds and the other information the Trustee is required to set forth
on the Bonds pursuant to Section 2.06 hereof, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein or in the Bonds, or the validity, priority, recording, or rerecording, filing, or refiling of this Indenture or any financing statement,
amendments to this Indenture, or continuation statements, or for reviewing any annual reports, financial statements or audits, or for insuring the Project or collecting any insurance moneys, other than the Bond Insurance, or for the validity of the
execution by the Issuer of this Indenture or for any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby, for the value or title of the
Project or as to the maintenance of the security hereof. The Trustee shall not be bound to 

  

 67 

 
ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or agreements on the part of the Issuer or on the part of the Borrower
under the Agreement, except as hereinafter set forth, but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or the Borrower full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid. Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 9.02 and 9.03 hereof, the Trustee shall have no obligation to perform any of the rights or obligations of the Issuer under the Agreement. The Trustee shall not be liable for participating in any act directed by the Issuer or the Borrower
which might cause the Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code. The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for the selection of any investment or for any loss suffered in connection with any
investment of funds made by it in accordance with Article VII hereof including, without limitation, any loss suffered in connection with the sale of any investment pursuant to Article VII hereof. 
  
 (c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any Bonds
authenticated or delivered hereunder. The Trustee may become the Owner of Bonds and otherwise transact banking and trustee business with the Borrower with the same rights which it would have if it were not Trustee. 
  
 (d) The Trustee shall be fully protected in acting in good faith upon any
notice, request, resolution, consent, certificate, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document, or direction (whether in original, electronic or facsimile form), believed to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent or given
by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the Owner of any Bond
shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or upon transfer or in place thereof. 
  
 (e) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon a certificate signed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Issuer Representative as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained, and prior to the occurrence of a default of which the Trustee has been
notified as provided in subsection (g) of this Section, or subsequent to the waiver, rescission or annulment of a default as provided in Article IX hereof, shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular
dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate signed on behalf
of the Issuer by an Authorized Issuer Representative to the effect that a resolution or ordinance in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the Issuer as conclusive evidence that such resolution or ordinance has been duly adopted, and is in
full force and effect. 
  
 (f) The permissive right of the Trustee
to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be liable in the performance of its obligations hereunder except for its own negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 (g) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have
notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder, except failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of 

  

 68 

 
the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Article IV hereof and all defaults under Section 9.01(a), (b) or (c) hereof, unless a Responsible Officer
shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Issuer, the Bond Insurer, the Bank, the Liquidity Provider, the Auction Agent, the Remarketing Agent or the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds
then outstanding. 
  
 (h) The Trustee shall not be required to
give any bonds or surety or otherwise expend its own funds in respect of the execution of its trusts and powers hereunder. 
  
 (i) Before taking any action under Article IX hereof at the request or direction of the Bondholders, the Bank or the Bond Insurer, the Trustee may require
that an indemnity bond satisfactory to it be furnished by the Bondholders (the Trustee acknowledging that (i) the Bank’s unsecured agreement to indemnify the Trustee will be sufficient for this purpose and (2) that the Trustee may not seek
indemnity as a condition to drawing on a Letter of Credit or making a claim on the Bond Insurance in connection with an acceleration of the Bonds under Section 9.02), for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it
against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its own negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any action so taken. 
  
 (j) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the
purposes for which they were received and shall not be commingled with the general funds of the Trustee but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required or permitted by law. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be
under any liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon. 
  
 (k) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 9.01 of this Indenture and after the curing or waiving of all Events
of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and, in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture. In case an event of default has occurred (which
has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of his own affairs. 
  
 (l) No provision of this
Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: 
  
 (i) This subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (k) of this Section;

  

 69 

 (ii) The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by an
officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; 
  
 (iii) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding or any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Indenture; and 
  
 (iv)
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 repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. 
  
 (m) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of
the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or
evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof required as a condition of such action by the Trustee, deemed desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the Issuer to the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash,
or as a condition to the taking of any action by the Trustee. 
  
 (n) In the event the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an event of bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency, such expenses (including the fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any bankruptcy, reorganization or insolvency. 
  
 (o) To the extent that the Trustee is also acting as Paying Agent, Registrar or Tender Agent hereunder, the rights and protections afforded to the Trustee
pursuant to this Article X shall also be afforded to such Paying Agent, Registrar and Tender Agent. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, in determining whether the rights of the Bondholders will be adversely affected by any action taken
pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof, the Trustee (or Paying Agent) shall consider the effect on the Bondholders as if there were no Bond Insurance or Letter of Credit, as applicable, and shall have the right to be provided with and may rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel in making such determination. 
  
 Section 10.02. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business as a commercial bank or trust company in good standing under the
laws of the United States of America or any state or territory thereof, duly authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, be authorized to accept and exercise the trusts herein provided, have a combined reported capital and surplus
of at least $75,000,000, be subject to examination by Federal or state authority and have such offices and agencies in such locations as are required under the Act and 

  

 70 

 
as are required to enable it to perform the functions herein contemplated and acceptable to the Bond Insurer. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 10.02, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. 
  
 Section 10.03. Fees, Charges and Expenses of Trustee. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment and/or reimbursement from the Borrower hereunder and pursuant to the Financing Agreement for reasonable fees
for its services rendered hereunder and all advances, fees of counsel and other expenses reasonably made or incurred by the Trustee in connection with such services hereunder; provided, that if such expenses are determined to have been caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee it shall not be entitled to compensation or reimbursement therefor. The Trustee shall have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment on account of principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on any Bond upon all moneys in its possession under any provisions hereof for the foregoing advances, fees, costs and expenses incurred; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment on
account of principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Bond with respect to moneys in the Bond Fund held for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on particular Bonds or moneys held for the payment of the purchase
price of particular Bonds. The Trustee’s rights under this Section 10.03 shall survive the termination or expiration of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee. 
  
 Section 10.04. Notice to Bondholders if Default Occurs. If a default occurs of which the Trustee is by
subsection (g) of Section 10.01 hereof required to take notice or if notice of default be given as in said subsection (g) provided, the Trustee shall within fifteen (15) days thereafter (unless such default is cured or waived), give notice of such
default to each Owner of Bonds then Outstanding, provided that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Bond, the Trustee may withhold such notice to the Bondholders if and so long as
a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Bondholders and provided further that nothing in this Section 10.04 shall be deemed to limit the notice
required by the second to last paragraph of Section 9.05 hereof. 
  
 Section 10.05. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Issuer or the Borrower is a party and which in the opinion of the Trustee and its Counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of
Bondholders, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of Bondholders and, subject to the provisions of Section 10.01(i), shall do so if requested in writing by the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding.

  
 Section 10.06. Successor Trustee. Any
corporation or association into which the Trustee may be merged or converted, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell, lease or transfer its corporate trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, shall be
and become successor Trustee hereunder and shall be vested with all the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges hereunder as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument on the part
of any of the parties hereto.

 Section 10.07. Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee may at any time resign from the
trusts hereby created by giving sixty (60) days written notice by registered or certified mail to the Issuer, the Borrower, the Liquidity Provider, the Bank, the Bond Insurer, the Owner of each Bond, the Auction Agent and the Remarketing Agent, and
such resignation shall not take effect until the appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 10.09 hereof and acceptance by the successor Trustee of the trusts created hereby. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and have accepted appointment within forty-five (45) days of the giving of written notice by the resigning Trustee as aforesaid, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Borrower, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee or any Bondholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Bond for at least six months may, on behalf of itself and others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.
Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and may prescribe, appoint a successor trustee meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.02. 
  
 Section 10.08. Removal of the Trustee. (a) In case at any time either of the following shall occur:

  
 (1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 hereof and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Issuer or by any Bondholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Bond for at least six months, or 
  
 (2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall
be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation
or liquidation, 
  
 then, in any such case, the Issuer may remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor Trustee (with the advice of the Borrower and the consent of the Bond Insurer) by an instrument in writing, or any such Bondholder may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee, in each case, meeting the eligibility standards set forth in Section 10.02. Such court may thereupon, after such notice if any, as it may deem proper and may
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee. 
  
 (b) The Issuer, in its sole discretion or upon the written request of an Authorized Borrower Representative, or the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time outstanding or the Bond Insurer or the Bank, for
any failure by the Trustee to fulfill its obligations hereunder may at any time, with or without cause, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Issuer (with the advice of
the Borrower and the consent of the Bond Insurer and the Bank) or such Bondholders, as the case may be.

 a successor shall be appointed by the Issuer at the direction of the Borrower and with the written consent of the Bond Insurer and the Bank, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided, that if a
successor Trustee is not so appointed within ten (10) days after notice of resignation is mailed or instrument of removal is delivered as provided under Sections 10.07 and 10.08 hereof, respectively, or within ten (10) days of the Issuer’s
knowledge of any of the events specified in (c) hereinabove, then the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, by filing with the Issuer, the Borrower, the Auction Agent and the Remarketing Agent, an instrument
or concurrent instruments in writing signed by or on behalf of such Owners, may designate a successor Trustee meeting the eligibility standards set forth in Section 10.02. 
  
 Section 10.10. Concerning Any Successor Trustees. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Issuer and the Borrower, an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the trusts, powers, rights,
obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges of its predecessor; but, nevertheless, and upon payment of its charges (1) such predecessor shall, on the written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges of such predecessor hereunder and (2) such predecessor shall deliver, upon payment of its charges hereunder, all securities and moneys held by
it as Trustee hereunder to its successor and transfer any Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit to such successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such
successor the trusts, powers, rights, obligations, duties, remedies, immunities and privileges hereby vested in the predecessor any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer at the
expense of the Borrower. The resignation of any Trustee and the instrument or instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for in this Article, shall be filed or recorded by the
successor Trustee in each recording office, if any, where the Indenture or a financing statement relating thereto shall have been filed or recorded. No Trustee hereunder shall be liable for the acts or omissions of any successor Trustee.

full warrant, protection and authority to the Trustee for the release of property and the withdrawal of cash hereunder. 
  
 Section 10.12. Successor Trustee as the Trustee, Paying Agent, Tender Agent and Registrar. In the event of a change in the office of the
Trustee, the predecessor Trustee which has resigned or been removed shall cease to be Trustee, Tender Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent, and the successor Trustee shall become such Trustee, Tender Agent, Registrar and Paying Agent.

between the Trustee and the Borrower. If there are no such instances of a significant change, or of a conflict existing, then a statement to that effect shall be provided on such date.

maturity date of the principal of or the interest on any Bond issued hereunder, or (b) a reduction in the principal amount of, premium, if any, on any Bond or the rate of interest thereon, or (c) an adverse change in the rights of the Bondholders to
require the purchase thereof pursuant to Article IV hereof, or (d) a privilege or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds, or (e) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds the Owners of which are required to
consent to such supplemental indenture. 
  
 If at any time the
Issuer shall request the Trustee to enter into any such supplemental indenture for any of the purposes allowed by this Section, the Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer and upon being satisfactorily indemnified with respect to expenses and
upon receiving from the Borrower forms of notices and any other related solicitation materials, cause notice of the proposed execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed to the holders of the Bonds affected by such supplemental indenture in
substantially the manner provided in Section 3.02 hereof with respect to redemption of Bonds. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed supplemental indenture and shall state that copies thereof are on file at the Principal
Office of the Trustee for inspection by all Bondholders entitled to so consent. If, within sixty (60) days or such longer period of time as shall be prescribed by the Issuer following the mailing of such notice, the Owners of a majority or 100%, as
the case may be, in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding entitled to so consent shall have consented to and approved the execution thereof as herein provided, no Owner of any Bond shall have any right to object to any of the
terms and provisions contained therein, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Trustee or the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant to
the provisions thereof. The Issuer shall have the right to extend, with the prior written consent of the Borrower, from time to time the period within which such consent and approval may be obtained from Bondholders. Upon the execution of any such
supplemental indenture as in this Section permitted and provided, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith.

 (b) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a supplemental indenture
under this Article XI which affects any rights, duties or obligations of the Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent, or which affects any Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit, shall not become effective unless and until the Remarketing Agent, the
Auction Agent, the Liquidity Provider or the Bank, as applicable, shall have consented to the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture. 
  
 (c) The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any supplemental indenture which adversely affects the Trustee’s own rights,
liabilities, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise. 
  
 Section 11.04. Required and Permitted Opinions of Counsel. The Issuer and the Trustee shall be provided with and may rely on an opinion of Counsel to the effect that any supplemental indenture entered into by the Issuer and
the Trustee complies with the provisions of this Article XI and an opinion of Bond Counsel that any such supplemental indenture does not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. No supplemental indenture or amendment or modification to
the Agreement or the Bonds shall be effective until the Issuer and the Trustee shall have received an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such supplemental indenture or such amendment or modification is permitted by the Act and will not
adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. 
  
 Section 11.05. Notation of Modification on Bonds; Preparation of Modified Bonds. Bonds authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI may bear a
notation, in form approved by the Trustee, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture, and if such supplemental indenture shall so provide, new Bonds, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Issuer, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture, may be prepared by the Issuer, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered without cost to the holders of the Bonds then outstanding, upon surrender for cancellation of such
Bonds in equal aggregate principal amounts.

Bondholders. The Issuer and the Borrower may, with the written consent of the Trustee, the Bond Insurer, the Liquidity Provider, and the Bank, but without the consent of or notice to any of the Bondholders, enter into any amendment, change
or modification of the Agreement (a) as may be required by the provisions of the Agreement or this Indenture or the Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit; (b) for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or formal defect or omission; (c)
so as to add additional rights acquired in accordance with the provisions 

  

 78 

 
of the Agreement; (d) to preserve the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds, or any of them; (e) to make any modification or amendment in any other respect,
including amendments described in Section 12.02, if the effective date of such amendment is a date on which all the affected Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase pursuant to Section 4.02(a) hereof or if notice by mail of the proposed amendment or
supplement is given to the Owners of the affected Bonds at least 30 days before the effective date, and prior to such effective date such Owners have the right to require purchase of their Bonds pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, or (f) in connection
with any other change therein which is not materially adverse to the Bondholders and which does not involve a change described in clauses (a) or (b) of Section 12.02 hereof and which in the reasonable judgment of the Trustee is not to the prejudice
of the Trustee; provided that any amendment or supplement to Exhibit A to the Agreement contemplated in Section 3.1 of the Agreement shall not be deemed to be an amendment of the Agreement for any purpose of this Article XII. 
  
 Section 12.02. Amendments to Agreement Requiring Consent of
Bondholders. Unless otherwise specifically provided in this Section, the consent of the Bond Insurer, the Bank and the Liquidity Provider shall be required in addition to required Bondholder consent, when required, for the execution and
delivery of any amendment, supplement or change to or modification of the Agreement. Except for the amendments, changes or modifications as provided in Section 12.01 hereof, neither the Issuer nor the Borrower shall enter into any other amendment,
change or modification of the Agreement without mailing of notice and the written approval or consent of the Owners of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds at the time Outstanding given and procured as provided in this
Section; provided, however, that nothing in this Section or Section 12.01 (other than Section 12.01(e)) hereof shall permit or be construed as permitting, without the consent of the holders of 100% of the Bonds then Outstanding, (a) an extension of
the time of the payment of any amounts payable under Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) of the Agreement with respect to the Bonds, or (b) a reduction in the amount of any payment or in the total amount due under Section 4.2(a) or Section 4.2(b) of
the Agreement. If at any time the Issuer and the Borrower shall request the consent of the Trustee to any such proposed amendment, change or modification of the Agreement, the Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer and upon being satisfactorily
indemnified with respect to expenses and upon receiving from the Borrower forms of notices and any other related solicitation materials, cause notice of such proposed amendment, change or modification to be mailed to the Owners of Bonds in
substantially the manner as provided by Section 3.02 hereof with respect to redemption of Bonds. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of such proposed amendment, change or modification and shall state that copies of the instrument
embodying the same are on file with the Trustee for inspection by all Bondholders. If, within sixty (60) days, or such longer period as shall be prescribed by the Issuer, following the mailing of such notice, the Owners of a majority or 100%, as the
case may be, in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding at the time of the execution of any such amendment, change or modification, as the case may be, entitled to so consent shall have consented to and approved the execution thereof as
herein provided, no Owner of any Bond shall have any right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the
Borrower or the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof, or the Trustee from consenting thereto. The Issuer shall have the right to extend from time to time the period within which such consent and
approval may be obtained from Bondholders. Upon the execution of any such amendment, change or modification as in this Section permitted and provided, the Agreement shall be and be deemed to be modified, changed and amended in accordance therewith.

Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such proposed amendment, change or modification will comply with the provisions of this Article XII and an opinion of Bond Counsel that any such amendment, change or modification does not adversely affect
the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds.

hereunder. 
  
 Section 13.04. Waiver of Notice.
Whenever in this Indenture the giving of notice by mail or otherwise is required, the giving of such notice may be waived in writing by the person entitled to receive such notice and in any such case the giving or receipt of such notice shall not be

provision in question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative, or unenforceable to any extent whatever.

transmissions, provided that the deliverer of any such notice given by electronic transmission shall verify receipt of such notice promptly upon the transmission thereof and such notice shall not be deemed duly given unless full and legible receipt

 Section 13.09. Opinions of Bond Counsel. So long as any Bond Insurance is in effect,
whenever an Opinion of Bond Counsel is delivered pursuant to Section 2.03 in connection with a change in Rate Period for the Bonds, if such opinion is included in an offering document pursuant to which the Bonds are remarketed to the public at such
time, such opinion shall be addressed to the Bond Insurer or delivered to the Bond Insurer with a reliance letter addressed to the Bond Insurer. For so long as Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP is nationally recognized bond counsel, whenever in
this Indenture it is required that prior to the taking of any action an opinion of Bond Counsel is required to be delivered to the effect that such action will not adversely affect the Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds, and such opinion is not given by
Orrick, Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, the opinion of Bond Counsel shall instead affirmatively state, in a manner acceptable to the Issuer and the Trustee, that interest on the Bonds is Tax-Exempt and will remain so after the action in question.
This Section shall apply in the same fashion with respect to the affirmative opinion of any such successor Bond Counsel. 
  
 Section 13.10. Counterparts. This Indenture may be simultaneously executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and
all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

governed by the laws of the State of New York. 
  
 Section
13.12. Captions. The captions or headings in this Indenture are for convenience only and in no way define, limit, or describe the scope or intent of any provisions or sections of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 13.13. Dealing in Bonds. The Trustee, or the
Remarketing Agent, in its individual capacity, may in good faith buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds, and may join in any action which any Bondholder may be entitled to take with like effect as if it did not act in any capacity
hereunder. The Trustee or the Remarketing Agent, in its individual capacity, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the Borrower, and may act as depositary, trustee
or agent for any committee or body of Bondholders secured hereby or other obligations of the Issuer as freely as if it did not act in any capacity hereunder. 
  
 Section 13.14. Immunity of Officers. No recourse under or upon any obligations, covenants or agreements contained in the Agreement, this
Indenture or the Bonds, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any incorporator, shareholder, director, officer or employee, as such, whether past, present, or future, of the Borrower or the Issuer or of
any successor Person, either directly or through the Borrower or the Issuer, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that any such
liability and any and all such claims are hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of the Agreement. 
  
 Section 13.15. Borrower May Act Through Agents. In connection with any and all actions permitted or required to be taken by the Borrower in
connection with the provisions 

  

 83 

 
hereof, including without limitation those set forth in Section 2.03 hereof, the Borrower may by written instrument filed with the Trustee appoint one or
more agents (which may be the Remarketing Agent) to take such actions on its behalf, which appointment may be revoked at any time by the Borrower by written instrument filed with the Trustee. 
  
 Section 13.16. Record Date for Determination of Owners Entitled to
Vote. The Borrower may set a record date for the purpose of determining the Owners entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or
permitted to be given or taken by Owners. If not set by the Borrower prior to their first solicitation of an Owner made by any Person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such
action or vote shall be the thirtieth (30th) day prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date, only the Owners on such date (or their duly appointed proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote
on the relevant action. 
  
 Section 13.17. Consents and
Notices. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no consent shall be required from or any notice given to any Bond Insurer, Liquidity Provider or Bank with respect to any amendment, supplemental indenture or other matter that does
not affect the Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit, as applicable, or the Bonds secured by such Bond Insurance, Liquidity Facility or Letter of Credit.

State of Nevada, for value received, hereby promises to pay (but only out of the source hereinafter provided) to the Registered Owner identified above, or registered assigns as hereinafter provided, on the Maturity Date identified above, the
Principal Amount identified above, and to pay (but only out of the source hereinafter provided) interest on the balance of said Principal Amount from time to time remaining unpaid until payment of said Principal Amount has been made or duly provided

principal became due and payable, except as the provisions set forth in the Indenture with respect to redemption or acceleration prior to maturity may become applicable hereto, the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond being
payable in lawful money of the United States of America at the Principal Office of BNY Midwest Trust Company, an Illinois trust company, as Paying Agent (the “Paying Agent”); provided, however, payment of interest on any Interest Payment
Date shall be made to the registered owner hereof as of the close of business on the Record Date with respect to such Interest Payment Date and shall be (i) paid by check or draft of the Paying Agent mailed to such registered owner hereof at his
address as it appears on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by BNY Midwest Trust Company, an Illinois trust company, as Trustee (the “Trustee”), or at such other address as is furnished in writing by such registered owner to
the Trustee not later than the close of business on the Record Date or (ii) transmitted by wire transfer to the account with a member of the Federal Reserve System located within the continental United States of America of any registered owner which
owns at least $1,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and which shall have provided wire transfer instructions to the Trustee prior to the close of business on such Record Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, for so long as
this Bond is restricted to being registered on the registration books of the Issuer kept by the Trustee in the name of a Securities Depository, the provisions of the Indenture governing Book-Entry Bonds shall govern the manner of the payment of the
principal and purchase price (if applicable) of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond. 
  
 This Bond is one of a duly authorized issue of bonds of the Issuer designated as the “Clark County Nevada Industrial Development Refunding Revenue
Bonds (Southwest Gas Corporation Project) Series 2004B” (the “Bonds”) limited in aggregate principal amount as provided in, and issued under and secured by, an Indenture of Trust (the “Indenture”), dated as of October 1,
2004, between the Issuer and the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the rights thereunder of the registered Bondholders, of the nature and extent of the security, of the
rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the rights and obligations of the Issuer thereunder, to all of the provisions of which Indenture the holder of this Bond, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees. 
  
 The Bonds are authorized to be issued pursuant to the provisions of the
County Economic Development Revenue Bond Law, Sections 244A.669 to 244A.763, inclusive, of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended and supplemented to the date hereof (the “Act”). The Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and, as and
to the extent set forth in the Indenture, are payable solely from, and secured by a pledge of and lien on, the Revenues (as that term is 

  

 A-2 

 
defined in the Indenture), consisting primarily of loan repayments made by Southwest Gas Corporation (the “Borrower”) under the terms of a
Financing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2004 (the “Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Borrower. The Bonds, together with certain other bonds of the Issuer, are all issued under and equally and ratably secured by and entitled to
the benefits of the Indenture, and all receipts of the Trustee credited under the provisions of the Indenture against such payments and from any other moneys held by the Trustee under the Indenture for such purpose, and there shall be no other
recourse against the Issuer or any property now or hereafter owned by it. 
  
 The Borrower may, at its option, cause a Letter of Credit, a Liquidity Facility or Bond Insurance to be delivered from time to time to support the Issuer’s payment obligations hereunder. 
  
 Interest on this Bond shall be payable at the times and in the amounts
determined in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture. In no event shall the interest rate on this Bond be greater than 12% per annum. At the times and subject to the conditions set forth in the Indenture, the Borrower may elect that this
Bond shall bear interest at an interest rate, and for a period, different from those then applicable. The Trustee shall give notice of any such adjustment to the owners of this Bond in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. REFERENCE IS MADE TO
THE FURTHER PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE DETERMINATION OF THE RATE AND AMOUNT OF INTEREST ON THIS BOND SET FORTH IN THE INDENTURE, WHICH SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME EFFECT AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH HEREIN. 
  
 This Bond shall be deliverable in the form of registered Bonds without
coupons in Authorized Denominations, as defined in the Indenture.

principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner, and if the aggregate principal amount of Bonds subject to such Hold Orders exceeds the aggregate principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner, the aggregate principal amount of Bonds
subject to each such Hold Order shall be reduced pro rata to cover the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds held by such Existing Owner; 
  
 (ii) (A) any Bid of an Existing Owner shall be considered valid as a Bid of an Existing Owner up to and including the excess of the
principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner over the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds subject to Hold Orders referred to in paragraph (i) above; 
  
 (B) subject to sub-clause (A) of this paragraph (ii), all Bids of an Existing Owner with the same rate shall
be aggregated and considered a single Bid of an Existing Owner up to and including the excess of the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner over the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner subject to Hold Orders referred
to in sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph (d); 
  
 (C) subject to sub-clause (A) of this paragraph (ii), if more than one Bid with different rates is submitted on behalf of such Existing Owner, such Bids shall be considered valid Bids of an Existing Owner in the ascending order of their
respective rates up to the amount of the excess of the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner over the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner subject to Hold Orders referred to in sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph
(d); and 
  
 (D) the principal amount, if any, of
such Bonds subject to Bids not considered to be Bids of an Existing Owner under this paragraph (ii) shall be treated as the subject of a Bid by a Potential Owner at the rate specified therein; and 
  
 (iii) all Sell Orders shall be considered valid Sell Orders,
but only up to and including a principal amount of Bonds equal to the excess of the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner over the sum of the principal amount of the Bonds considered to be subject to Hold Orders pursuant to
sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph (d) and the principal amount of Bonds considered to be subject to Bids of such Existing Owner pursuant to sub-paragraph (ii) of this paragraph (d). 
  

 C-10 

 (e) If more than one Bid is submitted on behalf of any Potential Owner, each Bid submitted with the same
rate shall be aggregated and considered a single Bid and each Bid submitted with a different rate shall be considered a separate Bid with the rate and the principal amount of Bonds specified therein. 
  
 (f) Any Bid submitted by an Existing Owner or a Potential Owner specifying a
rate lower than the All Hold Rate shall be treated as a Bid specifying the All Hold Rate, and any such Bid shall be considered as valid and shall be selected in ascending order of the respective rates in the Submitted Bids (as defined in Section
2.04). 
  
 (g) Neither the Issuer, the Bond Insurer, the Borrower,
the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent nor the Auction Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Broker-Dealer to submit an Order to the Auction Agent on behalf of any Existing Owner or Potential Owner. 
  
 Section 2.04. Determination of Auction Rate. 
  
 (a) Not later than 9:30 a.m., New York City time, on each Auction Date, the
Auction Agent shall advise the Broker-Dealers and the Trustee by telephone of the All Hold Rate, the Maximum Auction Rate and the Reference Rate. 
  
 (b) Promptly after the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall assemble all Orders submitted or deemed submitted to it by the
Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted or deemed submitted by a Broker-Dealer being hereinafter referred to as a “Submitted Hold Order,” a “Submitted Bid” or a “Submitted Sell Order,” as the case may be, and
collectively as a “Submitted Order”) and shall determine (i) the Available Bonds, (ii) whether there are Sufficient Clearing Bids, and (iii) the Auction Rate. 
  
 (c) Promptly after the Auction Agent has made the determinations pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 2.04, the
Auction Agent shall advise the Trustee and the Borrower by telex, facsimile or other electronic transmission of the Auction Rate for the succeeding Auction Rate Period and the Trustee shall promptly notify DTC of such Auction Rate. 
  
 (d) In the event the Auction Agent fails to calculate or, for any reason,
fails to timely provide the Auction Rate for any Auction Rate Period, (i) if the preceding Auction Rate Period was a period of 35 days or less, the new Auction Rate Period shall be the same as the preceding Auction Rate Period and the Auction Rate
for the New Auction Rate Period shall be the same as the Auction Rate for the preceding Auction Rate Period, and (ii) if the preceding Auction Rate Period was a period of greater than 35 days, the preceding Auction Rate Period shall be extended to
the seventh day following the day that would have been the last day of such Auction Rate Period had it not been extended (or if such seventh day is not followed by a Business Day then to the succeeding day which is followed by a Business Day) and
the Auction Rate in effect for the preceding Auction Rate Period will continue in effect for the Auction Rate Period as so extended. In the event an Auction Rate Period is extended as set forth in clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, an Auction
shall be held on the last Business Day of the Auction Rate Period as so extended to take effect for an Auction Rate Period beginning on the Business Day 

  

 C-11 

 
immediately following the last day of the Auction Rate Period as extended which Auction Rate Period will end on the date it would otherwise have ended on had
the prior Auction Rate Period not been extended. 
  
 (e) In the
event of a failed conversion from an Auction Rate Period to another Rate Period or in the event of a failure to change the length of the current Auction Rate Period due to the lack of Sufficient Clearing Bids at the Auction on the Auction Date for
the first new Auction Rate Period, the Auction Rate for the next Auction Rate Period shall be the Maximum Auction Rate and the Auction Rate Period shall be a seven-day Auction Rate Period. 
  
 (f) If the Bonds are not rated or if the Bonds are no longer maintained in
book-entry-only form by the Securities Depository then the Auction Rate shall be the Maximum Auction Rate. 
  
 Section 2.05. Allocation of Bonds. 
  
 (a) In the event of Sufficient Clearing Bids, subject to the further provisions of subsections (c) and (d) below, Submitted Orders shall be accepted or
rejected as follows in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) the Submitted Hold Order of each Existing Owner shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Hold Order; 
  
 (ii) the Submitted Sell Order of each Existing Owner shall
be accepted, and the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to sell the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Sell Order or
Submitted Bid; 
  
 (iii) the Submitted Bid of
each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid; 
  
 (iv) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying
any rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid; 
  
 (v) the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying a rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall
be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid, but only up to and including the principal amount of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate principal amount of
Bonds outstanding which are not the subject of Submitted Hold Orders described in sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph (a) or of Submitted Bids described in sub-paragraphs (iii) and (iv) of this paragraph (a) by (B) a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the principal amount of Bonds outstanding held by such Existing Owner subject to such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding subject to such Submitted Bids made by all such
Existing Owners that specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate, and the remainder, if any, of such Submitted Bid shall be rejected, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to sell any excess amount of Bonds; 
  

 C-12 

 (vi) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying a rate that is equal to the
Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid, but only in an amount equal to the principal amount of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate
principal amount of Bonds outstanding which are not the subject of Submitted Hold Orders described in sub-paragraph (i) of this paragraph (a) or of Submitted Bids described in sub-paragraphs (iii), (iv) or (v) of this paragraph (a) by (B) a fraction
the numerator of which shall be the principal amount of Bonds outstanding subject to such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding subject to such Submitted Bids made by all
such Potential Owners that specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate, and the remainder of such Submitted Bid shall be rejected; and 
  
 (vii) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected.

  
 (b) In the event there are not Sufficient Clearing Bids,
subject to the further provisions of subsections (c) and (d) below, Submitted Orders shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the following order of priority: 
  
 (i) the Submitted Hold Order of each Existing Owner shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing
Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Hold Order; 
  
 (ii) the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is not higher than the Maximum Auction Rate shall be accepted, thus
requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid; 
  
 (iii) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is not higher than the Maximum Auction Rate shall be accepted,
thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid; 
  
 (iv) the Submitted Sell Orders of each Existing Owner shall be accepted as Submitted Sell Orders and the Submitted Bids of each Existing
Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Maximum Auction Rate shall be deemed to be and shall be accepted as Submitted Sell Orders, in both cases only up to and including the principal amount of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the
aggregate principal amount of Bonds subject to Submitted Bids described in paragraph (iii) of this subsection (b) by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the principal amount of Bonds outstanding held by such Existing Owner subject to such
Submitted Sell Order or such Submitted Bid deemed to be a Submitted Sell Order and the denominator of which shall be the principal amount of Bonds outstanding subject to all such Submitted Sell Orders and such Submitted Bids deemed to be Submitted
Sell Orders, and the remainder of each such Submitted Sell Order or Submitted Bid shall be deemed to be and shall be accepted as a Hold Order and each such Existing Owner shall be required to continue to hold such excess amount of Bonds; and

  

 C-13 

 (v) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the
Maximum Auction Rate shall be rejected. 
  
 (c) If, as a result of
the procedures described in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section 2.05, any Existing Owner or Potential Owner would be required to purchase or sell an aggregate principal amount of Bonds which is not an Authorized Denomination on any Auction Date,
the Auction Agent shall by lot, in such manner as it shall determine in its sole discretion, round up or down the principal amount of Bonds to be purchased or sold by any Existing Owner or Potential Owner on such Auction Date so that the aggregate
principal amount of Bonds purchased or sold by each Existing Owner or Potential Owner on such Auction Date shall be an Authorized Denomination, even if such allocation results in one or more of such Existing Owners or Potential Owners not purchasing
or selling any Bonds on such Auction Date. 
  
 (d) If, as a result
of the procedures described in subsection (a) of this Section 2.05, any Potential Owner would be required to purchase less than an Authorized Denomination in principal amount of Bonds on any Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall by lot, in such
manner as it shall determine in its sole discretion, allocate Bonds for purchase among Potential Owners so that the principal amount of Bonds purchased on such Auction Date by any Potential Owner shall be an Authorized Denomination, even if such
allocation results in one or more of such Potential Owners not purchasing Bonds on such Auction Date. 
  
 Section 2.06. Notice of Auction Rate. 
  
 (a) On each Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall notify by telephone or other electronic means or in writing each Broker-Dealer that participated in the
Auction held on such Auction Date and submitted an Order on behalf of any Existing Owner or Potential Owner of the following with respect to Bonds for which an Auction was held on such Auction Date: 
  
 (i) the Auction Rate determined on such Auction Date for the
succeeding Auction Rate Period; 
  
 (ii) whether
Sufficient Clearing Bids existed for the determination of the Winning Bid Rate; 
  
 (iii) if such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid or a Sell Order on behalf of an Existing Owner, whether such Bid or Sell Order was accepted or
rejected, in whole or in part, and the principal amount of Bonds, if any, to be sold by such Existing Owner; 
  
 (iv) if such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid on behalf of a Potential Owner, whether such Bid was accepted or rejected, in whole or in part,
and the principal amount of Bonds, if any, to be purchased by such Potential Owner; 
  
 (v) if the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds to be sold by all Existing Owners on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted Bids or
Sell Orders is different from the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to be purchased by all Potential Owners on 

  

 C-14 

 
whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid, the name or names of one or more Broker-Dealers (and the Agent Member, if any, of each such other
Broker-Dealer) and the principal amount of Bonds to be (A) purchased from one or more Existing Owners on whose behalf such other Broker-Dealers submitted Bids or Sell Orders or (B) sold to one or more Potential Owners on whose behalf such
Broker-Dealer submitted Bids; and 
  
 (vi) the
immediately succeeding Auction Date. 
  
 (b) On each Auction Date
with respect to Bonds for which an Auction was held on such Auction Date, each Broker-Dealer that submitted an Order on behalf of any Existing Owner or Potential Owner shall: 
  
 (i) advise each Existing Owner and Potential Owner on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted an Order as
to (A) the Auction Rate determined on such Auction Date, (B) whether any Bid or Sell Order submitted on behalf of each such Owner was accepted or rejected and (C) the immediately succeeding Auction Date; 
  
 (ii) instruct each Potential Owner on whose behalf such
Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid that was accepted, in whole or in part, to instruct such Potential Owner’s Agent Member to pay to such Broker-Dealer (or its Agent Member) through the Securities Depository the amount necessary to purchase the
principal amount of Bonds to be purchased pursuant to such Bid (including, with respect to the Bonds in a daily Auction Rate Period, accrued interest if the purchase date is not an Interest Payment Date for such Bond) against receipt of such Bonds;
and 
  
 (iii) instruct each Existing Owner on
whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted a Sell Order that was accepted or a Bid that was rejected in whole or in part, to instruct such Existing Owner’s Agent Member to deliver to such Broker-Dealer (or its Agent Member) through the
Securities Depository the principal amount of Bonds to be sold pursuant to such Bid or Sell Order against payment therefor. 
  
 Section 2.07. Reference Rate. 
  
 (a) The Reference Rate on any Auction Date with respect to Bonds in any Auction Rate Period of 35 days or less shall be the offered rate for deposits in
U.S. dollars for a one-month period which appears on the MoneyLine Telerate Page 3750 at approximately 11:00 A.M., London time, on such date, or if such date is not a date on which dealings in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank
market, then on the preceding day on which such dealings were transacted in such market. The Reference Rate with respect to Bonds in any Auction Rate Period of more than 35 days shall be the rate on the most recently auctioned Treasury securities
having a maturity which most closely approximates the length of the Auction Rate Period, as last published in The Wall Street Journal. If either rate is unavailable, the Reference Rate shall be an index or rate agreed to by all Broker-Dealers
and consented to by the Borrower. 
  
 (b) If for any reason on any
Auction Date the Reference Rate shall not be determined as hereinabove provided in this Section, the Reference Rate shall be the Reference Rate for the Auction Rate Period ending on such Auction Date. 
  

 C-15 

 (c) The determination of the Reference Rate as provided herein shall be conclusive and binding upon the
Issuer, the Borrower, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Broker-Dealers, the Auction Agent and the Bondholders. 
  
 Section 2.08. Miscellaneous Provisions Regarding Auctions. 
  
 (a) In this Exhibit C, each reference to the purchase, sale or holding of Bonds shall refer to beneficial interests in
Bonds, unless the context clearly requires otherwise. 
  
 (b)
During an Auction Rate Period, the provisions of the Indenture and the definitions contained therein and described in this Exhibit C, including without limitation the definitions of All Hold Rate, Interest Payment Date, Maximum Auction Rate,
Reference Rate, Applicable Percentage and Auction Rate, may be amended pursuant to the Indenture by obtaining the consent of (i) the Owners of all Bonds bearing interest at a Auction Rate, and (ii) the Bond Insurer, as follows. If, on the first
Auction Date occurring at least 20 days after the date on which the Trustee mailed notice of such proposed amendment to the registered Bondholders as required by the Indenture, (i) the Auction Rate which is determined on such date is the Winning Bid
Rate and (ii) there is delivered to the Issuer, the Borrower and the Trustee an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment (1) is authorized and permitted under the Act and the Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the
Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds, the proposed amendment shall be deemed to have been consented to by the owners of all affected Bonds. 
  
 (c) During an Auction Rate Period, so long as the ownership of the Bonds is maintained in book-entry form by the Securities Depository, an Existing Owner
or a beneficial owner may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Bond only pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order in accordance with the Auction Procedures or to or through a Broker-Dealer, provided that (i) in the case of all transfers other than
pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Owner or its Broker-Dealer or its Agent Member advises the Auction Agent of such transfer and (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of Bonds from a customer of a Broker-Dealer who is listed on the records of
that Broker-Dealer as the Existing Owner of such Bonds to that Broker-Dealer or another customer of that Broker-Dealer shall not be deemed to be a sale, transfer or other disposition for purposes of this Section 2.08 if such Broker-Dealer remains
the Existing Owner of the Bonds so sold, transferred or disposed of immediately after such sale, transfer or disposition. 
  
 Section 2.09. Changes in Auction Rate Period or Auction Date. 
  
 (a) Changes in Auction Rate Period. 
  
 (i) During any Auction Rate Period, the Borrower, may, from time to time on any Interest Payment Date,
change the length of the Auction Rate Period with respect to all of the Bonds in order to accommodate economic and financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the length of the Auction Rate Period and the interest rate borne by such Bonds.
Any such change in the Auction Rate Period shall be deemed to be a change in Rate Period. The Borrower shall initiate the change in length of the Auction Rate Period by giving written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Liquidity Provider, the
Bank, the Auction Agent, the Broker-Dealer and the Securities Depository that the Auction Rate 

  

 C-16 

 
Period will change if the conditions described herein are satisfied and the proposed effective date of the change, at least 10 Business Days prior to the
Auction Date for such Auction Rate Period. 
  
 (ii) The change in the length of the Auction Rate Period shall not be effective unless Sufficient Clearing Bids existed at both the Auction before the date on which the notice of the proposed change was given as provided in this subsection
(a) and the Auction immediately preceding the proposed change. 
  
 (iii) The change in length of the Auction Rate Period shall take effect only if (a) Sufficient Clearing Bids exist at the Auction on the Auction Date for such first Auction Rate Period, and (b) on the proposed
effective date, the Borrower provides the Trustee and the Issuer with an Opinion of Bond Counsel stating that change in the Auction Rate Period (1) is authorized and permitted under the Act and the Indenture and (2) will not adversely affect the
Tax-Exempt status of the Bonds. For purposes of the Auction for such first Auction Rate Period only, each Existing Owner shall be deemed to have submitted Sell Orders with respect to all of its Bonds except to the extent such Existing Owner submits
an Order with respect to such Bonds. If the conditions referred to in the first sentence of this sub-paragraph (iii) are not met, the Trustee shall notify the Auction Agent and then the Auction Rate for the next Auction Rate Period shall be the
Maximum Auction Rate, and the Auction Rate Period shall be a seven-day Auction Rate Period. 
  
 (iv) On the conversion date of the Bonds selected for conversion from one Auction Rate Period to another, any Bonds which are not the
subject of a specific Hold Order or Bid will be deemed to be subject to a Sell Order. 
  
 (b) Changes in Auction Date. During any Auction Rate Period, the Auction Agent, with the written consent of the Borrower, may specify an earlier Auction Date (but in no event more than five Business Days
earlier) than the Auction Date that would otherwise be determined in accordance with the definition of “Auction Date” in order to conform with then current market practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and
financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the day of the week constituting an Auction Date and the interest rate borne on the Bonds. The Auction Agent shall provide notice of its determination to specify an earlier Auction Date for an
Auction Rate Period by means of a written notice delivered at least 45 days prior to the proposed changed Auction Date to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Bond Insurer, the Borrower, the Broker-Dealers and the Securities Depository.
