authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. 
  
 Section 208.
Registration of Bonds and Agent Therefor. The Issuer shall maintain and keep, at the principal office of the Trustee, a Bond Register for the registration, transfer and exchange of Bonds, and upon presentation thereof for such purpose at the
principal office, the Issuer shall register or cause to be registered therein and permit to be transferred thereon or to be exchanged, under such reasonable 
  

 13 

 regulations as the Issuer or the Trustee may prescribe, any Bond entitled to registration, transfer or exchange. The
Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent of the Issuer for such registration, transfer or exchange of Bonds. 
  
 Section 209. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. Each Bond may be exchanged, at the option of the Holder, and each Bond may be transferred, upon
presentation and surrender of the Bond at the Principal Office of the Trustee, together with an assignment or instrument of transfer duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney-in-fact in form satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon such

receiving payment of the principal or Redemption Price thereof and interest thereon and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. 
  
 Section 211. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In the event
that any Bond is mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond, a new Bond of like date, denomination, series and maturity
as the Bond mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, 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 such destroyed, stolen or lost Bond, there shall be first
furnished to the Trustee evidence of such destruction, theft or loss satisfactory to the Trustee, together with indemnity in favor of the Issuer and the Trustee, satisfactory to it. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the Holder of such Bond their
reasonable fees and expenses in this connection. All such Bonds so surrendered to the Trustee shall be cancelled and destroyed by the Trustee. In case any such mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bond has become or is about to become due and
payable, the Issuer, at the direction of the Company, shall, instead of issuing a new Bond, cause the Trustee to pay such Bond out of money held by the Trustee and available for such purpose. The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall
preclude (the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost Bonds. 
  
 Section 212. Non-Presentment of Bonds. In the event any Bond shall not be presented for payment when due, either at a Stated Maturity Date, a
Redemption Date, or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay such Bond shall have been made available to the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture for the benefit of the Holder thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the Holder thereof
for the payment of such Bond shall forthwith cease, terminate and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty of the Trustee to hold such funds, without liability for interest thereon, solely for the benefit of the Holder of such
Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such funds, for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with respect to, said Bond; provided 
  

 14 

 that any funds which shall be so held by the Trustee and which remain unclaimed by the Holder of any Bond not presented
for payment within four years and eleven months after such date as upon which all of the Bonds shall have been fully paid or retired or provision for such payment has been made as provided in Article XI of this Indenture shall be paid to the
Company, free of any trust or lien and thereafter any such Holder shall look only to the Company for payment of such amount without interest thereon and the Trustee shall have no further responsibility with respect to such moneys. 
  
 Section 213. Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of definitive
Bonds, the Issuer may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds
in lieu of which they are issued, in fully registered form, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their signing of such Bonds.

  
 After the preparation of definitive Bonds, the temporary Bonds
shall be exchangeable for definitive Bonds upon surrender of the temporary Bonds at the office of the Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Bonds, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Bonds of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Bonds, and interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the registered owners thereof as provided in this Indenture.

Indenture and the Credit on an equal and parity basis with respect to all other Bonds Outstanding theretofore or thereafter issued. Any Series of Additional Bonds shall have such name, form, identifying designation and Series, denominations, date,
maturities, interest rate or rates (including adjustments thereto), redemptions, mandatory or optional purchase requirements, tender rights or obligations, and such other terms and conditions as shall be provided by resolution of the Issuer and the
terms of a Supplemental Indenture authorizing issuance of such Series, but only to the extent not inconsistent herewith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Series of Additional Bonds shall be executed, authenticated or delivered unless on the Date of
Issue of such Series, each of the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

Bonds shall be registered in the Bond Register kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co. and the Bonds may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to the Depository, to a successor Depository or to another nominee of the Depository or
of a successor Depository 
  
 With respect to Bonds registered in
the Bond Register in the name of Cede & Co., the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any participant or to any person on behalf of which such a participant holds a beneficial interest in the Bonds. Without
limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (a) the accuracy of the records of the Depository, or any participant with respect to any beneficial ownership
interest in the Bonds, (b) the delivery to any participant, beneficial owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to the Bonds, including any Redemption Notice, (c) the selection by the Depository and the
participants of the beneficial interests in the Bonds to be redeemed in part, or (d) the payment to any participant, beneficial owner or any other person, other than the Depository, of any amount with respect to principal, Purchase Price or
Redemption Price of, or interest on the Bonds. The Issuer and the Trustee may treat and consider the person in whose name each Bond is registered in the Bond Register as the holder and absolute owner of such Bond for the purpose of payment of
principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of, and interest on such Bond, for the purpose of giving Redemption Notices and other notices with respect to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, registering
transfers with respect to the Bonds. 
  
 The Trustee shall pay all
principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of, and interest on the Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective Bondholders, as shown in the Bond Register kept by the Trustee, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and
all such payments shall be valid hereunder with respect to payment of principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of, and interest on the Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No person other than a Bondholder, as shown in the Bond
Register, shall receive a Bond evidencing the obligation to make payments of principal, Purchase Price and Redemption Price of, and interest pursuant to this Indenture of Trust. Upon delivery by the Depository to the Trustee and the Issuer of
written notice to the effect that the Depository’ has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to Record Dates, the words Cede & Co. in this Indenture shall refer
to such new nominee of the Depository. 
  
 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 
  

 16 

 Depository by check or draft mailed to the Depository or by wire transfer. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, such redemption price may be paid without presentation and surrender to the Trustee 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; 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 following effect (provided that such legend may
be modified as may be determined necessary or desirable by the Issuer or the Depository): 
  
 “AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN, UNTIL THE TERMINATION OF THIS SYSTEM OF BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY TRANSFERS THROUGH THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (TOGETHER WITH ANY SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY
APPOINTED PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE (THE “DEPOSITORY”), AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE INDENTURE TO THE CONTRARY, (A) THIS BOND MAY BE TRANSFERRED, IN WHOLE BUT NOT IN PART, ONLY TO A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY, OR BY A
NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY TO THE DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE OF THE DEPOSITORY TO ANY SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY OR ANY NOMINEE THEREOF AND A PORTION OF THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THIS BOND MAY BE PAID OR REDEEMED WITHOUT SURRENDER HEREOF TO THE
TRUSTEE. THE DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE, TRANSFEREE OR ASSIGNEE OF THE DEPOSITORY OF THIS BOND MAY NOT RELY UPON THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT INDICATED HEREON AS THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT HEREOF OUTSTANDING AND UNPAID. THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OUTSTANDING AND UNPAID
SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES BE THE AMOUNT DETERMINED IN THE MANNER PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE.” 
  
 Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, upon any such payment to the 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 Registrar as to the particular Book
Entry Bond as to which such payment has been made, and the principal amount of such Bond so paid, the Registrar shall note such payment on the registration books of the Issuer maintained 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. 
  
 Section 216. Representation Letter. In order to qualify the Series 2000 Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry system, an Issuer Representative
shall execute and deliver on behalf of the Issuer to such Depository a letter from the Issuer representing such matters as shall be necessary to so qualify the Series 2000 Bonds (the “Representation Letter”). The execution and delivery of
the Representation Letter shall not in any way limit the provisions of Section 215 or in any other way impose upon the Issuer any obligation whatsoever with respect to persons having beneficial interests in the Series 2000 Bonds other than the
registered owners, as shown in the Bond Register kept by the Trustee. In addition to the execution and delivery of the Representation Letter, any Issuer Representative is hereby authorized to take any other actions, not inconsistent with this
Indenture, to qualify the Series 2000 Bonds for the Depository’s book-entry program. 
  
 Section 217. Transfers Outside Book-Entry System. If at any time the Depository notifies the Issuer and the Trustee that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository with respect to the Series 2000 Bonds
or if at any time the Depository shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Issuer within 90
days after the Issuer and the Trustee receive notice or 
  

 17 

 become aware of such condition, as the case may be, Section 215 shall no longer be applicable and the Trustee shall
execute and deliver bonds representing the Series 2000 Bonds as provided below. In addition, the Issuer may determine at any time that the Series 2000 Bonds shall no longer be represented by global bonds and that the provisions of Section 215 shall
no longer apply to the Series 2000 Bonds. In any such event, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver bonds representing the Series 2000 Bonds as provided below. Series 2000 Bonds issued in exchange for global bonds
pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and delivered in such authorized denominations as the Depository, pursuant to instructions from the participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Issuer and the Trustee. The Trustee shall
deliver such bonds representing the Series 2000 Bonds to the persons in whose names such Series 2000 Bonds are so registered. 
  
 If the Issuer determines to replace the Depository with another qualified securities depository, the Issuer shall prepare or cause to be prepared a new
fully-registered global bond for each of the maturities of each type of Series 2000 Bonds, registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository or its nominee, or make such other arrangements as are acceptable to the Issuer,
the Trustee and such securities depository and not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 218. Payment and Notices to the Nominee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any Series 2000
Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such Bond and all notices with respect to such Series 2000 Bond shall be made and given, respectively, as provided in the
Representation Letter or as otherwise instructed by the Depository.

 ARTICLE III 
  
 REDEMPTION AND PURCHASE OF BONDS 
  
 Section 301. Optional And Mandatory Redemption. The Series 2000 Bonds shall be subject to redemption prior to maturity, only as provided in this
Article III and in the form of the Series 2000 Bonds set forth in Exhibit A or Exhibit B. Series 2000 Bonds may be redeemed as follows: 
  
 (a) Optional Redemption. Subject to Section 301(e), upon (i) request of the Company to the Trustee in accordance with Section 10.4 of the
Agreement for redemption on a Business Day which occurs during a redemption period hereinafter set forth for which notice can be given in accordance herewith, and (ii) deposit with the Trustee of an amount of Eligible Funds sufficient, together with
other Eligible Funds in the Funds and available therefor, to pay the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date (or, after the Conversion Date, in lieu of such deposit, if a Credit is in effect which secures payment of the entire
Redemption Price, the delivery to the Trustee of a written consent of the Credit Provider consenting to the requested redemption and agreeing that the Credit will cover such Redemption Price), Series 2000 Bonds of the requested Series and Stated
Maturity in Authorized Denominations shall be redeemed on the requested Redemption Date, in whole or in part as follows: 
  
 (i) on and prior to the Conversion Date, on any Business Day at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest to the Redemption Date; and 
  
 (ii)
during the Fixed Rate Period for such Series, as follows: (A) no Bonds shall be subject to such optional redemption prior to the first Redemption Year which shall commence on the March 1 next preceding the midpoint of such Interest Rate Period
(unless such midpoint is March 1 of any year, in which case the Redemption Year shall commence on such March 1); (B) during such first Redemption Year, Bonds may be redeemed at a Redemption Price of 102% of their principal amount, plus accrued
interest to the Redemption Date; (C) thereafter, during the Redemption Year next following Bonds may be redeemed at a Redemption Price of 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date; and (D) thereafter, until and
including the next succeeding Mandatory Tender Date (or final maturity, if earlier) of such Series, such Bonds may be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bonds of a Series may be redeemed on any Mandatory Tender Date for such Series at a Redemption Price equal to their principal amount plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the above optional
redemption provisions may be modified on any Mandatory Tender Date at the request of the Company and with the consent of the Issuer, the Credit Provider and the Remarketing Agent and upon receipt by the Trustee of an Opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that such modification will not result in the interest on the Series 2000 Bonds being includable in gross income for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 (b) Additional Optional Redemption Upon Casualty or Condemnation. Subject to Section 301(e), upon request of the Company to the Trustee in
accordance with Section 10.2 of the Agreement and deposit of an amount sufficient, together with moneys in the Funds available therefor, to pay principal and accrued interest to a Redemption Date (which shall be a Business Day), all Series 2000
Bonds shall be redeemed in whole and not in part prior to maturity, at a price equal to their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on the date so requested (or if such date does not permit notice to be given in accordance
herewith, the earliest Business Day thereafter for which notice of redemption may be given). 
  
 (c) Determination of Taxability. Upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability with respect to any Series 2000 Bonds, all of the
Series 2000 Bonds shall be redeemed at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, which date shall be the earliest practicable date for which the Trustee can give 
  

 19 

 
notice in accordance herewith. On notice to the Trustee, by the Company or otherwise, of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Trustee shall
thereupon: (i) request payment for the Redemption Price related thereto under the Credit to the extent required pursuant to Section 411, (ii) give notice of redemption for all Bonds to be redeemed, and (iii) give immediate telephonic notice to the
Company of the Redemption Date, and the amount due and payable by the Company pursuant to Section 5.2(b) of the Agreement, such telephonic notice to be followed by written notice as provided in Section 1105. 
  
 (d) [Reserved] 
  
 (e) Requirement for Eligible Funds. Notwithstanding any
other provision herein, no notice of redemption shall be given by the Trustee for redemption under paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section unless (i) the Trustee shall hold Eligible Funds available to pay the full Redemption Price for such redemption,
or, (ii) a Credit is in effect securing the payment of such Redemption Price, including any Preference Amounts related thereto if the Credit is not a direct pay letter of credit. 
  
 (f) Redemption at Option of Credit Provider. If an Event of Default shall ever occur under the Agreement,
Series 2000 Bonds shall, at the option of the Credit Provider, which option shall be exercised by the Credit Provider by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, be redeemed, in whole and not in part, at a price
equal to their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on any date thereafter designated by the Credit Provider in writing to the Trustee for which proper notice hereunder can be given. 
  
 Section 302. Selection Of Bonds Upon Partial Redemption. In the event
less than all Bonds of any Series are to be redeemed, such Bonds shall be redeemed in inverse order of Stated Maturity Date, and Bonds within a maturity to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee in its
discretion may determine, each portion of principal amount in the minimum Authorized Denomination of Bonds being considered as one Bond for this purpose. If only a portion of a Bond having a principal amount of more than the minimum Authorized
Denomination shall be called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof with the same Series and maturity shall be issued to the Holder upon the surrender of the original Bond. 
  
 Section 303. Payment Of Redemption Bonds. Notice having been given in
the manner provided in Section 304, the Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption and specified in the notice shall become due and payable on the specified Redemption Date at the applicable Redemption Price, plus unpaid interest to the
Redemption Date, and upon presentation and surrender thereof at the place or places specified in the notice, together with a written instrument of transfer duly executed by the registered Holder thereof or by his duly authorized representative in
writing, the Bonds or portions thereof shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus unpaid interest on the Bonds to such Redemption Date. If less than all of a Bond shall be called for redemption, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and cause to be delivered, upon the surrender of such Bond, without charge to the owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Bond so surrendered, Bonds of like designation, interest rate, Series and
maturity in any of the Authorized Denominations and registered in such name or names as may be requested. If on such Redemption Date, payment by the Company of moneys or Government Obligations for the redemption of all the Bonds to be redeemed,
together with interest thereon accrued and unpaid to such Redemption Date, shall have been on deposit with the Trustee and if notice of redemption thereof shall have been given as aforesaid, then from and after such Redemption Date interest on the
Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to accrue and become payable, and such Bonds or portions thereof shall no longer be considered as Outstanding. All moneys on deposit with the Trustee for the redemption of particular Bonds
shall be held in trust solely for the accounts of the Holders of the Bonds to be so redeemed and the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for the amount of interest if any, earned thereon. All Bonds which have been redeemed shall not be
reissued, but shall be canceled and destroyed. 
  
 Section 304.
Notice of Redemption. In the case of the redemption of any Series of Bonds, the Trustee shall select the Bonds of such Series to be redeemed and give notice of the redemption of Bonds, which notice shall specify the Redemption Date,
Redemption Price and the place or places where amounts due upon such redemption shall be payable and, if less than all of the Bonds are to be redeemed, 
  

 20 

 the letters and numbers or other distinguishing marks of such Bonds so to be redeemed, and, in the case of a Bond to be
redeemed in part only, such notice shall also specify the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Such notice shall further state that on such Redemption Date there shall become due and payable upon each Bond to be redeemed the
Redemption Price thereof, or the Redemption Price of the specified portion of the principal thereof in the case of a Bond to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued to such Redemption Date, and that from and after such date interest
thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. The Trustee shall mail a copy of such notice, first-class mail, postage prepaid, not more than forty (40) or less than thirty (30) days before such Redemption Date, to the Holder of any Bond all or a
portion of which is to be redeemed, at said registered Holder’s last address, if any, appearing upon the Bond Register, but failure to receive such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. 
  
 Section 305.
Notice to Trustee. As a condition to any redemption pursuant to Section 301(a) or (b) the Issuer or the Company, as the case may be, shall, at least forty-five (45) days prior to the Redemption Date (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount, maturity and series of Bonds to be redeemed. 
  
 Section 306. Conversion Date and Other Mandatory Tender Dates. 
  
 (a) Designation of Conversion Date and other Mandatory Tender Dates. 
  
 (i) The Conversion Date for the Series 2000 Bonds shall be a
Mandatory Tender Date. 
  
 (ii) A Conversion Date
for a Series shall occur on any Business Day designated in a written notice signed by a Company Representative delivered to the Trustee and Remarketing Agent, accompanied by written consent thereto of the Credit Provider, not later than forty (40)
days prior to the Mandatory Tender Date. 
  
 (iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the rate of interest borne by the Series 2000 Bonds shall not be converted from the Weekly Rate to the Fixed Rate unless, not later than the date on which designation of the Conversion Date is delivered
to the Trustee, the Trustee has received a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such designation of a Conversion Date and the actions required hereunder as a result thereof (including any adjustment in interest rate) shall not cause
interest on the Series 2000 Bonds to be included in gross income of Holders for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 (iv) Each Series of the Series 2000 Bonds shall be purchased in whole at a Purchase Price of 100% of the principal amount thereof on the
third Business Day next preceding the expiration date or date of cancellation of the Letter of Credit securing such Series if such Letter of Credit is being replaced with a Substitute Credit; provided, however, that there shall not be so purchased
Bonds with respect to which the Trustee shall have received an Election to Retain from the Holders thereof in accordance with paragraph (e) of this Section 306 and Bonds which have been remarketed as Bonds secured by the Substitute Credit referred
to in this subparagraph (iv). 
  
 (b) Trustee
Notices. The Trustee shall give written notice of each Mandatory Tender Date for a Series of Bonds to all Holders thereof, which notice shall be substantially in the form attached as Exhibit C, which may also include, with respect to a Mandatory
Tender Date that is also a Conversion Date, an estimate provided by the Remarketing Agent of the Fixed Rate then expected to commence on such Mandatory Tender Date. The Trustee shall mail a copy of such notice, first class mail, postage prepaid, not
less than thirty (30) days nor more than forty (40) days before each Mandatory Tender Date to each Holder at the Holder’s last address, if any, appearing upon the Bond Register, but failure of any Holder to receive such notice or any defect
therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the purchase of Bonds. Except for a Conversion Date, the notice shall be accompanied by a form of an Election to Retain. 
  

 21 

 (c) Mandatory Purchase. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, all Tendered Bonds
shall be purchased at the Purchase Price on each applicable Mandatory Tender Date, but only to the extent of amounts credited to the Purchase Account established in respect thereof and available therefor. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made
only upon delivery of such Bond to the Trustee at its Principal Office, together with proper instruments of assignment completed in blank. 
  
 (d) Effect of Non-Delivery. Bonds purchased (but not canceled) pursuant to this Section shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all
purposes under this Indenture. Subject to paragraph (e) of this Section, all Tendered Bonds shall be deemed purchased on each Mandatory Tender Date to the extent that funds required to pay the Purchase Price therefor are held by the Trustee as
Tender Agent on such date in the applicable Purchase Account, regardless of delivery or assignment of such Bonds to the Tender Agent; and in such case, if any such Tendered Bond is not delivered on or before the applicable Mandatory Tender Date,
such Bond shall be deemed tendered for Mandatory Purchase nevertheless; and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like date, maturity, Series and denomination as the Bond to be purchased; and the
Trustee shall register and transfer such Bond as herein required. Holders of Tendered Bonds deemed so purchased on a Mandatory Tender Date shall cease to be entitled to hold such Bonds or to accrue interest in respect thereof on and after such date
and shall no longer be secured by the provisions hereof or deemed Outstanding, except to the extent of claims against amounts held in the Purchase Account or hereunder for payment of the applicable Purchase Price. 
  
 (e) Election to Retain. With respect to each Mandatory
Tender Date, the Holders of any Bonds of such Series shall deliver in transferable form all such Bonds to the Principal Office of the Tender Agent on or before the 15th day next preceding such Mandatory Tender Date, whether or not an Election to
Retain is filed. Except with respect to a Conversion Date, Holders may elect to retain any Bond if an Election to Retain for such Bond, duly completed to the satisfaction of the Tender Agent, is actually received by the Tender Agent at its Principal
Office by the 15th day next preceding such Mandatory Tender Date from the Holder, together with, unless waived by the Trustee, each Bond subject thereto; in such case such Bond shall not be subject to Mandatory Purchase, and the Trustee shall
promptly after the Mandatory Tender Date authenticate and deliver to such Holder a new form or forms of Bonds of like principal amount and Series designating the then current interest rate or rates borne by such Bonds. The Tender Agent shall
promptly notify the Trustee, the Company, Remarketing Agent and Credit Provider of all Elections to Retain (and Bonds subject thereto duly received by the Trustee) and, upon request, promptly deliver to such persons copies of the same. No Holder of
any Series shall have any right to retain Bonds of such Series by filing an Election to Retain with respect to the Conversion Date for the Series. 
  
 Section 307. Optional Tender Dates. Prior to the Conversion Date, Tendered Bonds in any Authorized Denomination shall be purchased from the Holder
thereof at the Purchase Price on the applicable Optional Tender Date, upon: 
  
 (a) delivery by 5:00 p.m. New York, New York time on any Business Day of written notice (or telephonic or oral notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Tender Agent at its Principal Office of an irrevocable
request by such Holder, which Optional Tender Notice shall identify (i) the aggregate principal amount, Series designation and certificate numbers of the Bonds to be purchased, and (ii) the Optional Tender Date, which date shall occur prior to the
Conversion Date and no earlier than the seventh calendar day after such notice is given, provided that such date shall be a Business Day; and 
  
 (b) delivery to the Tender Agent at its Principal Office, at or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the Optional Tender Date,
of the Bonds to be purchased, together with, an appropriate endorsement for transfer, or accompanied by a bond power endorsed in blank. 
  
 Notwithstanding paragraph (b) of this Section, any Tendered Bond required to be purchased pursuant to this Section and not delivered as required by
paragraph (b) may, with the consent of the Company, Credit Provider and Remarketing Agent, nevertheless be deemed to have been purchased on 
  

 22 

 the Optional Tender Date (to the extent funds are held by the Tender Agent and available to pay the Purchase Price
therefor), and, the Trustee shall authenticate new Bonds in lieu of such Tendered Bonds to the same effect as provided in Section 306(e) with respect to undelivered Tendered Bonds in connection with a Mandatory Tender Date. 
  
 The Tender Agent shall promptly, no later than the next Business Day
following receipt of an Optional Tender Notice, give telegraphic or telephonic notice (promptly confirmed in writing) to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Company and the Credit Provider of the Tender Agent’s receipt of the notice of an
Optional Tender Notice (and the related Optional Tender Date and principal amount of Tendered Bonds). 
  
 The Trustee shall submit a claim or draw under the Credit in respect of each Optional Tender Date to the extent required by Section 411. 
  
 Section 308. Funds For Purchase of Bonds. On any Optional Tender Date
or Mandatory Tender Date, the Purchase Price for all Tendered Bonds shall be paid as and to the extent provided in Section 405. 
  
 Section 309. Transfer and Remarketing of Purchased Bonds. Tendered Bonds purchased (or deemed purchased in the case of nondelivery) shall be (a)
transferred to the Tender Agent or its designees, to the extent the Purchase Price therefor was paid directly or indirectly from proceeds of the remarketing of such Bonds, (b) transferred to the Company to the extent the Purchase Price therefor was
paid directly or indirectly by or on behalf of the Company, and (c) credited to the account of the Credit Provider to the extent the Purchase Price thereof was paid from amounts paid under the Credit (“Credit Provider Bonds”). 

 
 Credit Provider Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Trustee for
the benefit of the Credit Provider and held by the Trustee as custodian for and on behalf of the Credit Provider. The Remarketing Agent shall continue to use its best efforts to remarket such Credit Provider Bonds. Upon the successful remarketing of
such Credit Provider Bonds by the Remarketing Agent, (i) the Trustee shall give written notice to the Credit Provider of such remarketing, (ii) such Credit Provider Bonds will automatically be released by the Credit Provider and, upon receipt of the
remarketing proceeds thereof, shall be registered in the name(s) of and delivered to the purchaser(s) thereof, and (iii) the remarketing proceeds shall be promptly remitted by the Trustee to the Credit Provider, unless the Credit Provider certifies
to the Trustee that the Company has repaid the Credit Provider pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement and no Event of Default exists under that agreement, in which case the proceeds shall be promptly remitted by the Trustee to the Company. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall not release Credit Provider Bonds until the Trustee has received written notice from the Credit Provider that the Letter of Credit has been reinstated in full. 
  
 Section 310. Company-Purchased Bonds. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, unless the Trustee shall receive an opinion from Bond Counsel that failure to take the following action shall not cause interest on purchased Bonds to be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, all Bonds purchased
by or on behalf of the Company (or any related person) as a result of an Optional Tender Purchase or a Mandatory Purchase shall be either (a) remarketed to persons who are not related to the Company within thirty (30) days following purchase
thereof, or (b) delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and retirement.

Trustee in a separate trust account for payment of the Purchase Price of such non-delivered Bonds, provided that moneys so held for Bonds not presented for purchase within four years and eleven months following the Tender Date shall be paid to the
Company or its designees and thereafter persons holding such non- delivered Bonds may look only to the Company for payment of the Purchase Price of such Bonds. 
  

Section 406. Insurance and Award Fund. Pursuant to Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Agreement, in the event of casualty to or a taking of the
Facilities, the Net Proceeds of any insurance award or condemnation award in respect of such casualty or taking shall be paid to the Trustee and deposited in the Insurance and Award Fund. If the Company shall be permitted to exercise its option to
prepay Rent under Section 10.2 of the Agreement, all monies in the Insurance and Award Fund shall be deposited by the Trustee in the Bond Fund. 
  
 If the Company shall elect to rebuild or restore the Equipment and Improvements as provided in Sections 6.1 and 6.2 of the Agreement, the Trustee shall
disburse the amounts held in the Insurance and Award Fund to the Company. 
  
 Section 407. Moneys To Be Held In Trust. All moneys required to be deposited with or paid to the Trustee for the account of any Fund under any provision of this Indenture shall be held by the Trustee in trust,
and shall, while held by the Trustee, constitute part of the Trust Estate and be subject to the lien or security interest created hereby. Moneys in the Purchase Account and Rebate Fund shall be held and applied solely as provided herein. 

 
 Section 408. Payment To The Credit Provider and Company From The
Funds. Any amounts remaining in the Funds after payment in full of the Bonds, the fees, charges, expenses and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any Paying Agent and all other amounts required to be paid hereunder and under the

 Section 409. Investment of Moneys. Amounts in the Funds, the Purchase Account and Rebate Fund shall be invested only as follows: 
  
 (a) Subject to any contrary provisions herein, any moneys
held as part of any Fund, the Purchase Account or Rebate Fund shall, upon written request and direction by the Company, be invested and reinvested by the Trustee in accordance with and subject to the provisions of Article IV of the Agreement, but
only in Investment Obligations (except if a Credit does not secure payment of the entire Redemption Price, moneys deposited to pay the portion of the 
  

 25 

 
Redemption Price not secured by the Credit shall be only invested in Government Obligations). Monies credited to any Fund maintained hereunder which are
uninvested pending disbursement or receipt of proper investment directions or as directed herein, may be deposited to and held in a non-interest bearing demand deposit account established with the commercial banking or other similar department of
the Trustee or with any bank affiliated with the Trustee, without the pledge of securities or other collateralization of such deposit accounts. 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 Trustee may invest through or from any affiliated bank or its own trust department. All investment earnings on moneys in any fund or account shall be credited to such fund or account, and any
loss resulting from such investment shall be debited to such fund or account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all amounts received from the Company as payment of Lease Payments, Redemption Price or Purchase Price, or pursuant to the Credit, shall be
invested solely in Governmental Obligations maturing (or callable at the option of the holder thereof) no later than thirty (30) days after investment (or earlier to the extent amounts invested therein shall be required to be paid hereunder).

  
 (b) The Trustee shall sell and reduce to cash
a sufficient amount of such investments whenever the cash balance in the Acquisition Fund or Insurance and Award Fund is insufficient to pay a requisition when presented or whenever the cash balance in the Bond Fund is insufficient to pay amounts
due the Credit Provider or to pay the principal or Redemption Price of, and interest on the Bonds when due, or whenever the cash balance in the Purchase Account is insufficient to purchase the Bonds pursuant hereto. 
  
 (c) All moneys in all Funds shall not be invested in
obligations or securities with a Yield in excess of the Yield on the Bonds except as invested (a) in obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, (b) as otherwise permitted herein or (c) as permitted by an opinion of Bond Counsel which
states in effect that such investment will not cause interest on the Series 2000 Bonds to become included in gross income for federal income tax purposes. 
  
 (d) Moneys in any Fund may be invested without regard to Yield for a period of thirty days following receipt. Moneys which are investment
earnings may be invested without regard to Yield for a period of one year from receipt. Moneys in the Bond Fund may be invested at a Yield greater than the Yield on the Bonds, subject to the following sentence. If at any time the balance in the Bond
Fund exceeds the total amount of principal and interest to be paid on the Bonds in the then current Bond Year plus one-twelfth ( 1/12th) of the total amount of the principal and interest paid and to be paid on the Bonds in the current Bond year, such excess shall not be invested at a Yield greater than the Yield on the Bonds. 
  
 (e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any other amounts in any
Funds may be invested without restriction as to Yield to the extent such aggregate amounts do not exceed the lesser of five percent of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. 
  
 Section 410. Rebate Fund; Rebate to United States. To assist the Company with its obligations under the Tax
Regulatory Agreement, the Trustee shall make information regarding the Bonds and investments hereunder available to the Company, shall make deposits and disbursements from the Rebate Fund in accordance with the instructions received from the Company
pursuant to the Tax Regulatory Agreement and the Agreement, shall invest the Rebate Fund pursuant to the requirements of Section 4.3 of the Agreement and shall deposit income from such investments in the Rebate Fund immediately upon receipt thereof.
The Trustee shall retain at the expense of the Company an accountant, Bond Counsel or other person holding itself out as experienced in the computation of arbitrage rebate (the “Rebate Consultant”) to compute amounts required to be rebated
to the United States in connection with the Series 2000 Bonds. 
  
 Section 411. Claims and Draws Under The Credit. 
  
 (a) On the Date of Issue for the Series 2000 Bonds, the Bank will deliver to the Trustee the Letter of Credit, which shall be the initial Credit for the Series 2000 Bonds. While any Credit is in effect, the Trustee
shall promptly submit claims or draws under the Credit in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof for the purpose of timely paying in full whenever 
  

 26 

 
due the principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds. If the Credit is not a direct pay letter of credit, the Trustee may
also submit claims to pay any Preference Amounts to a trustee in bankruptcy or to reimburse Holders who have paid such amounts to such trustee. If as a result of a final adjudication from which no appeal is available, a court of competent
jurisdiction rules in effect that Preference Amounts are owing from any Holder, the Trustee shall notify the affected Holder to submit to the Credit Provider proof of any such payment by the Holder. 
  
 (b) So long as the Credit is the Letter of Credit (or an
instrument identical to the Letter of Credit in all material respects, except for the obligor, commencement date and expiration date): 
  
 (i) The Tender Agent shall in writing notify the Credit Provider and Company of each pending Tender Date and the principal amount of
Tendered Bonds required to be purchased on such Tender Date (A) upon the Tender Agent’s receipt of any Optional Tender Notice thereof, in the case of an Optional Tender Purchase, and (B) not less than twelve (12) days prior to such date, in the
case of any Mandatory Tender Date. For the payment of the Purchase Price, on or before 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time on the Business Day next preceding each Tender Date, the Trustee shall draw pursuant to the Credit an amount sufficient to pay
such Purchase Price and, if the Tender Date is not a scheduled Interest Payment Date, interest accrued on such Tendered Bond to the Tender Date. The Credit Provider shall pay the amounts so demanded at the Trustee’s Principal Office and such
amounts shall be credited to the Credit Subaccount of the Purchase Account. 
  
 (ii) For the payment of principal and Redemption Price of, and interest on the Bonds, on or before 11:00 a.m. New York, New York time, on the Business Day next preceding each Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or
Stated Maturity Date, the Trustee shall draw pursuant to the Credit an amount sufficient to pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds due on such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity Date. The Credit
Provider shall pay the amounts so demanded at the Trustee’s Principal Office and such amounts shall be deposited in the Credit Account of the Bond Fund. 
  

(iii) The Trustee shall promptly present to the Credit Provider under a Credit which provides for the payment of Preference Amounts
such demand or demands which shall be required to duly pay all Preference Amounts, applying all amounts received therefrom to pay the trustee in bankruptcy or to reimburse Holders who shall have paid such amounts to the trustee in bankruptcy.

  
 (c) At the written direction of the Company,
and to the extent directed or permitted by the Credit Provider or the terms of the Credit, the Trustee shall draw or submit claims under the Credit to provide Eligible Funds to cause a defeasance of Bonds pursuant to Section 1001. 
  
 (d) If the Credit is not a direct pay letter of credit, the
Trustee shall not surrender the Credit to the Credit Provider until (i) at least 30 days have elapsed since the final payment of principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or interest in respect of the Bonds and during which period no Act of
Bankruptcy has occurred as certified by the Company in writing to the Trustee or (ii) if an Act of Bankruptcy occurs prior to expiration of such period (which is not dismissed) until satisfactory evidence is received that all Preference Amounts have
been paid by the Credit Provider. 
  
 Section 412. Substitute
Credit. At any time prior to payment in full of all Bonds and the accrued interest thereon, the Company may deliver to the Trustee a Substitute Credit in replacement of any other Credit. A Substitute Credit shall be deemed delivered or effective
only if the Trustee receives each of the following: 
  
 (a) one or more written Opinions of Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that: (i) the Substitute Credit is a legally binding and valid obligation of the Credit Provider for 
  

 27 

 
the Substitute Credit, except to the extent the enforcement of such obligation may be limited by laws relating to future bankruptcy or reorganization or by
other similar laws of general application affecting the rights of creditors or by the exercise of equitable remedies; (ii) the Credit Provider is organized and existing under or subject to the laws of the United States of America and applicable
State law with respect to enforcement of such Credit; (iii) the Substitute Credit complies with the definition of a “Substitute Credit” herein; (iv) the Substitute Credit does not constitute a security which must be registered under any
federal or state securities or blue sky laws or that it has been registered or qualified under all applicable state and federal securities registration laws; and (v) any funds drawn or paid under the Substitute Credit to pay principal, Purchase
Price or Redemption Price of, or interest on the Bonds will not constitute “preferential transfers” under Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or successor provisions) in the event of an Act of Bankruptcy; 
  
 (b) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that
substitution of the Substitute Credit, together with any amendments or changes to the Indenture, Agreement or any Reimbursement Agreement to be made in connection with such substitution will not cause interest on the Series 2000 Bonds to become
included in the gross income of Holders for federal income tax purposes; and 
  
 (c) evidence that the Credit Provider of the Substitute Credit has a short-term rating that is no lower than the current rating of the Credit Provider immediately prior to such substitution.

 ARTICLE VI 
  
 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES 
  
 Section 601. Events of Default. Each of the following events is hereby defined as and shall constitute an “Event of Default,” and any
event which would, with the passage of time or giving of notice or both, be an “Event of Default” shall constitute a “default” under this Indenture: 
  
 (a) default in the due and punctual payment of the interest on any Bond; 
  
 (b) default in the due and punctual payment of the
principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of any Bond. 
  
 (c) default hereunder or on the Bonds (other than a payment default) and, after written notice given to the Issuer and the Company by the Trustee or by the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the
principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, specifying the nature of the default and demanding that the same be remedied, the continuance thereof for a period of thirty (30) days or such longer period as shall be reasonably necessary to cure such
default, but only if in the Trustee’s reasonable opinion the Issuer, the Credit Provider or the Company is continuing to pursue diligently the cure of such default (which is subject to cure); 
  
 (d) if a Credit is not in effect, an “Event of
Default” under the Agreement; and 
  
 (e)
receipt by the Trustee of written notice from the Credit Provider that an event of default has occurred under the Reimbursement Agreement. 
  
 Interest on the Bonds shall cease to accrue upon any declaration of acceleration by the Trustee. 
  
 Section 602. Enforcement of Remedies. Upon the occurrence of an Event
of Default, the Trustee may, and upon the written direction of the Credit Provider or in the case of an Event of Default under Section 601(a), (b) or (e) shall, declare the principal of all Bonds Outstanding to be immediately due and payable,
whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable and the Trustee shall as soon as possible, but in no event later than the next succeeding Business Day, (i) exercise such rights as it may have under the Agreement to declare all payments
thereunder to be immediately due and payable, and (ii) take such action under the Credit to pay the principal of and accrued interest on the Bonds and shall give notice thereof to the Issuer, the Company and Credit Provider establishing a date for
payment of all principal and unpaid accrued interest thereto in accordance with Section 605. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Event of Default shall be declared under Section 601 (c) without the written consent of the Credit Provider. 

 
 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, and if the Credit is not in
effect or if the Credit Provider so directs, the Trustee may proceed to protect the rights of the Trustee and, to the full extent that the Holders of such Bonds themselves might do, the rights of such Bond Holders under this Indenture by such
action, suits, actions or proceedings, in equity or at law, including acceleration and prepayment of all principal and unpaid accrued interest on the Bonds, as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce the rights aforesaid.

  
 In the enforcement of any rights under this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to sue for, enforce payment of and receive any and all amounts due for principal, Purchase Price, Redemption Price or interest or otherwise under any of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Bonds with interest on
overdue payments, together with any and all reasonable costs and expenses of collection and of all proceedings hereunder and under such Bonds, without prejudice to any other right or remedy of the Trustee or of the Bondholders. 
  
 Section 603. Action By Trustee. All rights of action under this
Indenture or upon any of the Bonds, enforceable by the Trustee, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof on the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such suit, action or
proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as trustee of an express trust, 
  

 31 

 and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of said Bonds in respect of which such
judgment shall have been recovered, subject to the provisions of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 604. Restriction on Holders’ Actions. 
  
 (a) No Holder of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding, in equity or at law, for the enforcement of
the provisions of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust hereunder or thereunder or for any other remedy hereunder or thereunder, unless: 
  
 (i) such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of the Event of Default on account of which such suit, action or
proceeding is to be instituted; 
  
 (ii) after
the occurrence of such Event of Default, written request shall have been made of the Trustee to institute such suit, action or proceeding by the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then
Outstanding (which request shall have contained an agreement to indemnify the Trustee as provided in Section 703); 
  
 (iii) the Trustee shall have refused or neglected to comply with such request within forty-five (45) days after its receipt of such
request; 
  
 (iv) such Holder previously shall
have obtained the written consent of the Trustee to the institution of such suit, action or proceeding; and 
  
 (v) such suit, action or proceeding is brought for the ratable benefit of all Holders of all Bonds, subject to the provisions of this
Indenture. 
  
 (b) No Holder of any Bond shall
have any right in any manner whatever by his action to affect, disturb or prejudice the mortgage, pledge or lien of this Indenture or, except in the manner herein provided, to enforce any right hereunder. 
  
 Section 605. Priority of Payment After Default. Upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, all amounts in the Funds or received for the payment of principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of, or interest on the Bonds, (other than funds held for the payment of the principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of,
and interest on particular Bonds which have theretofore become due, which funds shall be applied in accordance with Sections 212, 303 or 405) and any other moneys received or collected by the Trustee acting pursuant to this Article shall, after
making provision for the payment of costs of collection and for the payment of the charges and expenses and liabilities incurred and advances made by the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be applied as follows; provided that if a Credit is in
effect, amounts paid under the Credit and any other Eligible Funds shall be first applied solely to the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds: 
  
 (a) unless the principal of all of the Bonds shall have become due and payable: 
  
 (i) first, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto
(except the Holders of those particular Bonds which have theretofore become due or payable at Stated Maturity, by call for redemption, or Mandatory Purchase and for the payment of the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of, and interest on
which funds are held for application in accordance with Section 212, 303 or 405 hereof) of all installments of interest then due in the order of the maturity of such installments and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full
any installment, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, to the persons entitled thereto without discrimination or preference; and 
  
 (ii) second, to the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal or Redemption Price of
any Bonds which shall have become due (except those particular Bonds which have theretofore become due or payable at Stated Maturity, by 
  

 32 

 
call for Redemption or Mandatory Purchase and for the payment of the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of, and interest on which funds are held
for application in accordance with Section 212, 303 or 405 hereof), whether at maturity or by acceleration or call for redemption, in the order of their due dates and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the Bonds due
on any date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of principal or Redemption Price due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without discrimination or preference; 
  
 (b) if the principal of all of the Bonds shall have become
due and payable, to the payment of the principal or Redemption Price and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds (except those particular Bonds which have theretofore become due or payable at Stated Maturity, by call for redemption or Mandatory
Purchase on the payment of the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of, and interest on which funds are held for application in accordance with Section 212, 303 or 405 hereof) without preference or priority of principal or Redemption Price
over interest or of interest over principal or Redemption Price 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 or
Redemption Price and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without discrimination or preference; 
  
 (c) the surplus, if any, to be paid into the Bond Fund. 
  
 Whenever moneys are to be applied by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section, such moneys shall be applied by
it at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine, having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever
the Trustee shall apply such funds, it shall fix a date upon which such application is to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue. The Trustee shall give to the Holders mailed
notice of the deposit with it of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date. Neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be required to make payment to the Holder of any Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for
appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid. 
  
 Section 606. Remedies Not Exclusive. No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee (or to the Holders) 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 hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute, except as otherwise not permitted herein. 
  
 Section 607. Control of Proceedings; Waiver of Past Defaults. In the case of an Event of Default, the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding shall have the right with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider, by an instrument in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of
conducting all remedial proceedings to be taken by the Trustee hereunder, provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to
follow any such direction which, in its opinion, would be prejudicial to Holders not parties to such direction. 
  
 The Trustee shall not waive a default under Section 601(e) hereof unless the Trustee has received prior written notice from the Credit Provider that the
Letter of Credit has been reinstated in full. 
  
 In addition, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Bonds Outstanding, waive any past default hereunder and its consequences with the written consent of the Credit Provider;
provided, however, that there shall not be waived without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Bond so affected any default (a) in the payment of the principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of, or interest on any Bond or any Event of
Default for which a draw has been made under the Credit (b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof or of the Agreement which under Articles VII and Ix cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each Outstanding Bond
affected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no waiver of any provisions which would affect the exclusion of interest on the Series 2000 Bonds from gross income for federal income tax purposes shall be made without consent of all Holders of Series 2000
Bonds. 
  

 33 

 Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall
be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 
  
 Section 608. Effect of Waiver and Other Circumstances. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holders to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or acquiescence therein, and every right, power and remedy given by this Indenture to them or any of
them may be exercised from time to time and or as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee or, in an appropriate case, by the Holders. In case the Trustee or any Holder shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or such Holder, then, and in every such case, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder with respect to all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and the Holders, which shall continue as if no such proceedings had been taken. 
  
 Section 609. Right to Enforce Payment of Bonds Unimpaired. Nothing contained in this Article shall affect or impair
the right of any Holder to enforce the payment of the principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of, and interest on Bonds of such Holder or the obligations of the Issuer to pay the principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price of, or any
interest on each Bond in accordance with its terms at any time and place expressed in said Bond.

 ARTICLE VII 
  
 THE TRUSTEE AND REMARKETING AGENT 
  
 Section 701. Trustee. The Trustee named in the recitals hereof is hereby appointed as Trustee hereunder and the property, rights, powers and duties
of the Trustee under this Indenture and are hereby vested in said Trustee in trust for the Holders. The Trustee shall be bound by the terms of the Agreement applicable to it to the same effect as if the Trustee were a party thereto. The Trustee
shall observe and perform all obligations of the Tender Agent herein. 
  
 Section 702. Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for and shall have no liability in respect of the correctness of the recitals contained herein and, except as provided below, in the Bonds. The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture, the Agreement or of any Bonds issued hereunder or in respect of the security afforded hereby or thereby, and the Trustee shall incur no responsibility or liability in
respect thereof. The Trustee shall, however, be responsible for its representation contained in its certificate of authentication on the Bonds. 
  
 The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing 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. 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 reasonable person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct or his or her own affairs. 
  
 The Trustee shall be under no responsibility, liability or duty with respect to the issuance of the Bonds for the value, the
use thereof or the application of the proceeds thereof (except to the extent such proceeds are paid to the Trustee in its capacity as Trustee) or the application of any moneys paid to the Issuer or others in accordance with this Indenture. Except as
provided below, the Trustee shall be under no obligation or duty to perform any act which would involve the Trustee in expense or liability or to institute or defend any action or suit in respect of this Indenture or the Bonds or to advance any of
its own moneys, unless properly indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction. The Trustee shall not be liable in connection with the performance of its duties hereunder, except for its own bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct. 
  
 The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any loss suffered in
connection with the investment of funds made by it in accordance with this Indenture. The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest upon any uninvested moneys that the Trustee may hold at any time in trust or receive under any of the
provisions of this Indenture, or the Agreement, except such as it may agree in writing with the Issuer or the Company, as the case may be, to pay thereon. 
  
 The Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence, willful misconduct
or bad faith on the Trustee’s part arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against the same; however no such indemnity shall be required by the Trustee as a condition precedent to its obligations hereunder to submit any draw under the Credit or for declaring an acceleration of the Bonds.

  
 Section 703. Co-Trustee. When required by the law of
any jurisdiction to enable the Trustee to perform its duties and functions and exercise its powers and rights under this Indenture, on its own behalf or on behalf of the Holders, the Trustee may appoint an additional individual or institution or
additional individuals or institutions as a separate trustee or co-trustee or both, and if and when the Trustee makes any such appointment or appointments, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action and immunity, expressed
or intended by this Indenture, to be exercised by, vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto, shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate or co-trustee, but only to the extent necessary to enable the separate trustee or
co-trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies under applicable law, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate trustee or co-trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them. Should any
deed, 
  

 35 

 conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate trustee or co-trustee so appointed by the
Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it or him such rights, powers, trusts, remedies, duties and obligations, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged
and delivered by the Issuer.

Notice Certain Defaults. In the absence of actual knowledge, the Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default or default other than an Event of Default of the nature referred to in Section
601(a) or (b), unless specifically notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Company or by the Holders of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. The Trustee may, from time to time,
require of the Company full information as to the performance of any of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and in the Agreement, and if information satisfactory to it is not forthcoming, the Trustee may make or cause to be
made, at the expense of the Company, an investigation into the affairs of the Issuer and the Company related to this Indenture and the trust created hereby. Within thirty (30) days after the Trustee obtains actual knowledge or has or is deemed to
have notice by written notice as aforesaid of the occurrence of any Event of Default or default hereunder, the Trustee shall, unless such Event of Default or default shall no longer exist, mail notice thereof to all Holders in the same manner
required by Section 304 hereof in the case of redemption of the Bonds; provided, however, that such notice to Holders need not be given if the board of directors or executive committee or a trust committee of the Trustee determines that giving such
notice would not be in the interest of the Holders of all Bonds Outstanding. For purposes of this Section, The Trustee shall be deemed to have actual knowledge of any Event of Default or default if a trust officer, assistant trust officer or other
person charged with the administration of the obligations of the Trustee hereunder shall, during the course of his duties, have knowledge thereof. 
  
 Section 705. Funds Held in Trust. All moneys held by Trustee, as such, at any time pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall be and hereby are
assigned, transferred and set over unto such Trustee in trust for the purposes and under the terms and conditions of this Indenture. 
  
 Section 706. Evidence on Which Trustee May Act. The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, resolution, request, consent, order,
certificate, opinion, Bond, requisition, voucher, invoice or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper person or persons. Whenever the Trustee shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a fact or matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such fact or matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by any certificate required or permitted to be filed with the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture or Agreement stating the same, and such certificate shall be full warrant for any action taken, suffered
or omitted to be taken in good faith under the provisions of this Indenture or the Agreement upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof but shall have no obligation to), accept other evidence of such fact or
matter or may require such further or additional evidence as to such fact or matter as Trustee may deem reasonable. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, any request, order, notice or other direction required or permitted to be furnished
pursuant to any provision hereof or of the Agreement by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Company to the Trustee shall be sufficiently evidenced if executed by an Issuer Representative, or a Company Representative, respectively, and any resolution
of the Issuer or of the Company shall be sufficiently evidenced to any Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Issuer Representative and a Company Representative, respectively. 
  
 Section 707. Compensation and Expenses. The Company, as set forth more generally in the Agreement, has agreed to pay
to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by the Trustee hereunder and also reimbursement for all its reasonable expenses, charges, legal and accounting fees and other disbursements and those of its
attorneys, agents and employees incurred and about the performance of its powers and duties hereunder in accordance with the provisions hereof. In addition, pursuant to Section 702 hereof, the Trustee shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company against any liabilities which the Trustee may incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, and which are not due to its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. Except as may be provided in Section 605
hereof, any claims of the Trustee to amounts held by it hereunder shall be subordinate to the rights of Holders to receive payment in full of all principal, interest and premium with respect to the Bonds. 
  

 36 

 Section 708. Certain Permitted Acts. The Trustee may become the owner of or may deal in the Bonds
as fully and with the same rights it would have if it were not a Trustee. To the extent permitted by law, the Trustee may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as a member of or in any other capacity with respect
to any committee formed to protect the rights of Holders or to effect or aid in any reorganization growing out of the enforcement of the Bonds or this Indenture, whether or not any such committee shall represent the Holders of at least a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding. 
  
 Section
709. Resignation. The Trustee or any successor thereto may, at any time, resign and be discharged of its duties and obligations created by this Indenture, by giving not less than forty-five (45) days’ written notice to the Issuer, the
Credit Provider, the Company and the Holders of the Bonds, specifying the date when such resignation shall take effect. Such resignation shall take effect upon the day specified in such notice unless a successor shall have been appointed previously
by the Issuer or Bond Holders, as herein provided, in which event such resignation shall take effect immediately on the appointment of such successor, but in no event shall the resignation of the Trustee take effect until a successor thereto shall
have been duly appointed in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and shall have assumed in writing all of the duties and obligations of the Trustee hereunder. 
  
 Section 710. Removal. The Trustee or any successor thereto may be removed at any time by the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed and duly acknowledged by such Bond Holders or by their attorneys duly authorized in writing and delivered to the Issuer and the
Credit Provider, provided that in no event shall the removal of a Trustee be effective until a successor thereto shall have been duly appointed in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and shall have assumed in writing all of the duties and
obligations of the Trustee hereunder. Copies of each such instrument shall be delivered by the Issuer to the Trustee and the Company. 
  
 Section 711. Appointment of Successor Trustee. In case at any time a Trustee or any successor thereto shall resign, shall be removed, shall become
incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or if a receiver, liquidator or conservator of the Trustee or its property shall be appointed or if any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs, the Issuer shall forthwith appoint a successor Trustee. Thereafter, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding may, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by such Holders or
their attorneys duly authorized in writing and delivered to such successor Trustee, with notification thereof to the Issuer, the Company, the predecessor Trustee and the Credit Provider, appoint a successor Trustee to supersede said successor
Trustee so appointed by the Issuer. 
  
 The Issuer shall mail
notice of any such appointment by the Issuer to the Holders and the Credit Provider within twenty (20) days after such appointment. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its principal corporate trust office.
Any successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer shall, immediately and without further act, be superseded by a Trustee appointed by such Holders as provided above. 
  
 If no appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within
forty-five (45) days after the Trustee shall have given to the Issuer and the Holders written notice as provided in Section 709 or after the occurrence of any other event requiring or authorizing such appointment, the Trustee or any Holder may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor. Said court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as said court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint such successor trustee. Each successor Trustee shall be a bank, trust company or
national banking association having trust powers and having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000), if there be such a bank or trust company or national banking association willing and able to
accept the office on reasonable and customary terms and authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture. 
  
 Section 712. Transfer of Rights and Property to Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver
to its predecessor Trustee and also to the Issuer an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all moneys, estates, properties, rights,
powers, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee, with like effect as if named herein as such 
  

 37 

 Trustee, but the Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor
Trustee, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurance and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all the right,
title and interest of the predecessor Trustee in and to any property held by it under this Indenture and shall pay over, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property, subject, nevertheless, to the continuing right of the
predecessor Trustee to indemnification as provided herein and the rights of the predecessor Trustee to compensation and reimbursement as provided in the Agreement and herein and to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. Should any deed,
conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by such successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee any such moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations,
any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request and so far as may be authorized by law, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.

successor to such Trustee to its duties under this Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper or the performance of any further act; provided such company shall be a bank or trust company or national banking association which is
qualified to be a successor to such Trustee under Section 711 hereof and shall be authorized by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture. 
  

Section 714. Adoption of Authentication. In case any of the Bonds contemplated to be issued under this Indenture shall have been authenticated
but not delivered, any successor Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee so authenticating such Bonds and deliver such Bonds so authenticated, and in case any of the said Bonds shall not have been
authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Bonds in the name of the predecessor Trustee or in the name of the successor Trustee, and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force provided in said Bonds or in this
Indenture. 
  
 Section 715. Remarketing Agent. Pursuant to
the Remarketing Agreement, the Remarketing Agent has agreed to perform all obligations imposed on the Remarketing Agent hereunder. The Remarketing Agent shall use its best efforts to cause the remarketing on each Tender Date of all Tendered Bonds at

Remarketing Agent shall also use its best efforts to remarket Credit Provider Bonds in accordance with Section 309. 
  
 The Remarketing Agent shall also perform the determinations as to adjustments in Stated Maturity in accordance with Section 203(h) and interest rate in

purchaser’s address and taxpayer identification number and the denomination in which each remarketed Bond is to be issued, delivery of such Bonds, properly executed on behalf of the Issuer and authenticated by the Trustee registered in the
name(s) and issued in the denomination(s) so specified, shall be made to the Remarketing Agent on the Tender Date against payment. 
  
 The Remarketing Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created by this Indenture by giving at least 30 days’
notice to the Trustee, the Company and the Credit Provider or may be removed at any time upon 60 days’ notice to the Remarketing Agent with or without 
  

 38 

 cause, at the direction of the Company, by an instrument signed by the Trustee or Company, as the case may be, and
delivered to the Remarketing Agent; provided that such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the appointment of a successor Remarketing Agent. Upon the resignation or removal of the Remarketing Agent, the Company shall, with the
approval of the Credit Provider, appoint a successor Remarketing Agent for the Bonds subject to the conditions set forth in this Section. 
  
 Any successor Remarketing Agent shall be a recognized financial institution or securities dealer authorized by law and experienced to perform all the

days after investment. 
  
 The Tender Agent shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the Company from and against all liabilities and expenses incurred by the Tender Agent without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on the Tender Agent’s part arising out of or in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against the same. 
  
 In the absence of actual knowledge to the contrary, the Tender Agent shall be
entitled to assume that any Bond (or beneficial ownership interest in such Bond) tendered or deemed tendered to it for Mandatory Purchase or Optional Tender Purchase in accordance herewith is entitled under the Indenture to be so purchased.

be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default or other default hereunder.

omission and correct any inconsistent provision or error in this Indenture or any Supplemental Indenture; (ii) insert such provisions clarifying matters or questions arising under this Indenture as are necessary or desirable and are not contrary to
this Indenture as theretofore in effect; (iii) confirm, as further assurance, any pledge of revenues or other income from or in connection with the lease of the Facilities or of any other moneys, securities or funds or subject to the mortgage, lien

to the terms of this Section, the Trustee, upon receipt of an instrument evidencing the consent to a Supplemental Indenture by the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding, shall join with the
Issuer in the execution of such Supplemental Indentures as shall be deemed necessary and desirable for the purpose of modifying, altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any of the terms or provisions contained in this
Indenture or in any Supplemental Indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall permit or be construed as permitting, without the consent of the Holders of all Bonds Outstanding, (a) the extension of the date of payment or
reduction in payment of the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of or the interest on any Bond, (1))the creation of a privilege or priority of any Bond or Bonds over any other Bond or Bonds, (c) the creation of any lien ranking prior to or

expenses cause notice of the proposed execution of such Supplemental Indenture to be mailed to each Holder (unless consent thereto shall have been given by Holders of all Bonds Outstanding). 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 Holders. The Trustee shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any Holder by reason of its failure
to mail such notice, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such Supplemental Indenture when consented to and approved as provided in this Section. If the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds Outstanding,
at the time of the execution of any such Supplemental Indenture, shall have consented to and approved the execution thereof as herein provided, no Holder shall have any right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or the

Article affects the rights, duties or immunities of the Trustee under this Indenture or otherwise, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline to execute such Supplemental Indenture, except to 
  

 40 

 the extent that this may be required in the case of a Supplemental Indenture entered into under Section 801 hereof. The
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such Supplemental Indenture conforms to the requirements of this Indenture.

 DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE 
  
 Section 1001. Discharge. If the Issuer shall pay or cause to be paid or there shall otherwise be paid to the Holders of all Bonds Outstanding the
principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due thereon at the times and in the manner stipulated therein and in this Indenture, then the pledge and assignment of all revenues and receipts from or in connection with
the lease of the Facilities authorized by this Indenture and the rights hereby granted and all covenants, agreements and other obligations of the Issuer hereunder and thereunder to the Bond Holders shall thereupon cease, terminate and become void
and be discharged and satisfied. After the above conditions have been met and upon the delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been fulfilled, the Trustee, and if required, the Issuer, shall cancel and discharge this Indenture and execute and deliver to the Issuer and the Company all such instruments as may be appropriate to evidence such
discharge and satisfaction thereof, and the Trustee shall pay over or deliver to the Company all moneys and securities held by it pursuant to this Indenture which are not required for the payment of principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, of
and interest on Bonds not theretofore surrendered for such payment or redemption. 
  
 If after the Conversion Date there shall have been deposited with or shall be held by the Trustee as Eligible Funds an amount which shall be sufficient or Governmental Obligations (not subject to redemption at the
option of the issuer thereof and purchased with Eligible Funds and evidencing Eligible Funds) the principal of and interest on which, when due, shall provide amounts which (together with such moneys, if any) shall be sufficient to pay, when due, the
principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, of and interest due or to become due on any Bonds Outstanding of such Series, and there shall have been provided to the Trustee (i) the opinion of a certified public accountant or other person acceptable
to the Trustee stating in substance that the amounts held by the Trustee to discharge the Bonds will produce amounts necessary to provide for the timely payment of all principal and Redemption Price of, and interest thereafter to become due on such
Bonds and (ii) an Opinion of Bond Counsel that the deposit shall not cause interest on the Series 2000 Bonds to be included in gross income of Holders for federal income tax purposes, then such Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid within the
meaning and with the effect expressed in the first paragraph of this Section 1001; provided, however, that if any such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to the maturity thereof, the Issuer or the Company shall have taken all action necessary on the
part of the Issuer or Company to redeem such Bonds and notice of such redemption shall have been duly given (or irrevocable instructions to the Trustee to give due notice for such redemption shall have been given); and provided further, that if the
Stated Maturity Date or Redemption Date of any such Bond shall not then have arrived, notice that the deposit hereinabove provided for has been made with the Trustee and that such Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section
and stating the Stated Maturity Date or Redemption Date or Redemption Dates upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the principal or Redemption Price, if applicable, and interest due or to become due on such Bonds shall have been
mailed by or on behalf of the Issuer to Holders of the Bonds. Any moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section may be invested in Government Obligations maturing when needed to provide funds when needed to make payments hereunder. Government
Obligations and moneys deposited with the Trustee pursuant to this Article and the principal or interest payments on any such Government Obligation shall be held by the Trustee in trust in a special segregated trust fund and shall not be withdrawn
or used for any purpose other than the payment of the principal or Redemption Price of, and interest on the Bonds. However, after the whole amount of the principal or Redemption Price and interest on all the Bonds has been paid in full, any amounts
remaining in such fund in excess of the amount required for the purpose of such payment of principal or Redemption Price and interest shall be paid to the Company. 
  
 Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the Trustee shall: 
  
 (a) submit a draw or claim under Section 411 (b) (ii) and
apply the proceeds thereof in accordance with such Section so long as the Credit is in effect. 
  
 (b) continue to be obligated to hold in trust in accordance herewith any moneys or investments held by the Trustee at the time of such
satisfaction or discharge for the payment of 
  

 43 

 
the principal, Redemption Price or Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds, to pay to the Holders of Bonds the funds so held by the Trustee as and when
such payment becomes due; and 
  
 (c) so long as
any Bonds or interest thereon shall not have been paid in full in accordance with their terms, be entitled to exercise the rights and remedies contemplated by this Indenture and the Agreement in respect of the provisions of the Agreement which, as
provided in the Agreement, survive the expiration of the term of the Agreement or otherwise continue until all of the Bonds have so been paid.

 MISCELLANEOUS 
  
 Section 1101. Evidence of Signatures of Holders of Bonds and Ownership of Bonds. Any request, consent or other instrument which this Indenture may
require or permit to be signed and executed by the Holders of Bonds may be one or more instruments of similar tenor and shall be signed or executed by such Holders of Bonds in person or by their attorneys appointed in writing. Proof of the execution
of any such instrument or of an instrument appointing any such attorney shall be sufficient and conclusive in favor of the Trustee for any purpose of this Indenture if made in the following manner or in any other manner satisfactory to the Trustee,
which may nevertheless, in its discretion, require further or other proof in cases where it deems the same desirable. The fact and date of the execution by the Holder of any Bond or his attorney of such instrument may be proved by the certificate,
which need not be acknowledged or verified, of an officer of a bank or trust company satisfactory to the Trustee or of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in the state in which he purports to
act that the person signing such request or other instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof or by an affidavit of a witness of such execution, duly sworn to before such notary public or other officer. The authority of the person or
persons executing any such instrument on behalf of a corporate Holder of any Bond may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by a person purporting to be the President or a Vice President of such corporation, with a
corporate seal affixed and attested by a person purporting to be its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary; and the authority of the person or persons executing any such instrument on behalf of a governmental agency or instrumentality which is a
Holder of the Bonds may be established without further proof if such instrument is signed by a person purporting to be the head or deputy or assistant held of such governmental agency or instrumentality. The ownership of Bonds and the amount,
numbers and other identification and date of holding the same shall be proved by the Bond Register maintained by the Trustee. Any request or consent by the owner of any Bond shall bind all future owners of such Bond and the owner of all Bonds issued
hereunder in lieu of or exchange or substitution for or on transfer of such Bond, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Issuer or any Trustee in accordance therewith. 
  
 In determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Bonds outstanding have given any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, Bonds owned by the Issuer or the Company or any affiliate of the Company shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding unless one hundred percent (100%) of the Bonds then
Outstanding are owned by the Issuer, Company and affiliates except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Bonds which the
Trustee knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded (an “affiliate” of any specified person means any other person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with such specified person).

  
 Section 1102. Moneys and Funds Held for Particular
Bonds. The amounts paid to the Trustee for the payment of the interest, principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price due on any date with respect to particular Bonds shall, pending such payment, be set aside and held in a trust account by the
Trustee for the Holders of the Bonds entitled thereto; for the purposes of this Indenture such interest, principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price, after the due date thereof, shall no longer be considered to be unpaid. 
  
 Section 1103. Cancellation of Bonds. All Bonds redeemed or paid or
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall be canceled by the Trustee. No such Bonds shall be deemed Outstanding under this Indenture, and no Bonds shall be issued in lieu thereof. Such Bonds and other Bonds canceled by the Trustee pursuant to
this Indenture may be destroyed by the Trustee and certificates thereof delivered to the Company and the Issuer. 
  
 Section 1104. Suspension of Mail Service. In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of
any event to the Holders of the Bonds when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be sufficient
giving of such notice.

 Section 1106. Parties Interested Herein.
Nothing in this Indenture, express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or to give to any person or corporation, other than the 
  

 46 

 Issuer and the Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds, any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this Indenture or
any covenant, condition or stipulation hereof, and all the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by and on behalf of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Issuer, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Bonds. 
  
 Section 1107. Partial
Invalidity. In the event any one or more of the provisions of this Indenture or of the Bonds shall, for any reason, be held to be illegal or invalid, such illegality or invalidity shall not affect any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Bonds, but this Indenture and the Bonds shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision or provisions had not been contained herein or therein. In the event any covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement of the Issuer
contained in the Bonds or in this Indenture shall, for any reason, be held to be in violation of the law, then such covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement shall be deemed to be the covenant, stipulation, obligation or agreement of the Issuer
to the full extent permitted by law. 
  
 Section 1108.
Execution in Several Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed in several identical counterparts, and all of such counterparts executed and delivered, each as an original and complete in itself, shall constitute but one and the same
instrument, and any such counterpart may be introduced in evidence, proved, recorded or used for any purpose without the production of any other counterpart. 
  
 Section 1109. Successors and Assigns. Whenever in this Indenture either of the parties hereto is named or referred to, this shall be deemed to
include the successors or assigns of such party, and all the covenants and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Issuer or by or on behalf of the Trustee shall bind and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and

except from the revenues and amounts pledged under this Indenture, or against any member of the governing body or officer of the Issuer or any officer or employee of the Trustee or any person executing the Bonds. The Bonds and the Redemption Price
and interest thereon are special obligations of the Issuer and shall not constitute or give rise to any pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against the Issuer’s general credit or taxing powers and shall not constitute a charge, lien

agreements and obligations of the Issuer contained herein shall be deemed to be covenants, stipulations, promises, agreements and obligations of the Issuer and not of any member of its governing body, officer or employee of the Issuer in his

specifically provided.

payment of the principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price or interest on any Bonds need not be made on such date, but it may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such nominal Interest Payment
Date, Redemption Date, Tender Date or Stated Maturity Date, and no interest shall accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date. 
  
 Section 1112. Law to Govern. This Indenture is delivered in and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State.

Supplemental Indenture, Substitute Credit or amendment to all rating agencies, if any, then rating the Bonds.

 REGISTERED HOLDER: CEDE & CO. 
  
 PRINCIPAL SUM:            FIVE MILLION EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS 
  
 The City of Liberal, Kansas, a duly organized municipal corporation of the State of Kansas (the “Issuer”), for value received, hereby promises
to pay to the above Registered Holder or registered assigns on the above Stated Maturity (or such earlier maturity date or redemption date as may be established pursuant to the Indenture described hereinbelow) upon presentation and surrender hereof,
the above Principal Sum solely from the revenues derived from the Agreement or the Credit (as such terms are defined herein below), or other amounts pledged therefor under the Indenture; the Issuer further promises to pay to the Registered Holder
hereof, solely from such revenues and amounts, interest on such Principal Sum as provided in the Indenture from the above Original Date of Issue until the earlier of Stated Maturity, or the date the Issuer’s obligation with respect to the
payment of such Principal Sum shall be discharged. Prior to the Conversion Date (defined below), interest shall accrue hereon at the Weekly Rate (as defined below), adjusted and determined as provided herein below, and computed on the basis of a
365- or 366-day year, as applicable, and the actual number of days elapsed. On and after the Conversion Date, interest shall accrue hereon for the Fixed Rate Period (as defined in the Indenture) at the Fixed Rate (as defined in the Indenture),
computed on the basis of a 360-day year with twelve months of thirty days. 
  
 This Bond (a Series 2000 Bond), as to principal, Redemption Price (as defined in the Indenture) and Purchase Price (as defined in the Indenture), shall be payable at the Principal Office of Commerce Bank, N.A., 922
Walnut Street, 6th Floor, Kansas City, Missouri 64106, or its successors (the “Trustee”) in any coin or currency of the United States of America which at the time of payment is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Prior to the Conversion Date, interest hereon shall be paid on the first day of July, 2000, and thereafter on the first day of each July, October, January and April by check or draft mailed by the Trustee to the person who is registered on the bond
register maintained by the Trustee as the holder (a “Holder”) on the record date (the Business Day (as defined in the Indenture) next preceding each such payment date). Interest shall be payable also on the Conversion Date. After the
Conversion Date, interest hereon shall be payable on the first day of each October and April by check or draft mailed by the Trustee to the person who is the Holder on the fifteenth day of the month next preceding such interest payment date.

  
 Subject to certain conditions, the Conversion Date shall be
any Business Day selected by the Company upon not less than forty (40) days’ notice to the Trustee. THE HOLDER OF THIS BOND MUST DELIVER THIS BOND TO THE TRUSTEE AS TENDER AGENT FOR MANDATORY PURCHASE BY THE TENDER AGENT ON THE CONVERSION DATE
(AND THEREAFTER AS DESCRIBED HEREIN), AT A PURCHASE PRICE EQUAL TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT HEREOF. As described herein below, prior to the Conversion Date, the Holder hereof can require purchase of this Bond on any Business Day by the Trustee, as
Tender Agent, upon seven days’ notice at a Purchase Price equal to the principal amount of the Bonds, plus accrued unpaid interest to the date of purchase. Series 2000 Bonds will also be subject to mandatory purchase at a Purchase Price equal
to the principal amount of this Bond on the third Business Day preceding delivery of a Substitute Credit in accordance with the Indenture. 
  
 This Bond shall not be entitled to any security, right or benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless the certificate of
authentication hereon has been duly executed and dated by the Trustee. 
  
 [1] This Bond is one of a duly authorized series of bonds of the Issuer designated as “Industrial Development Revenue Bonds (Farmland National Beef Packing Company, L.P. Project), Series 2000” (the “Series 2000 Bonds”),
issued in the original aggregate principal amount of $5,850,000 pursuant to K.S.A. 12-1740 et seq., as amended in effect on the date of delivery of the Bonds and pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of March 1, 2000, between the Issuer
and the Trustee (as from time to time amended, the “Indenture”). The Series 2000 Bonds, together with certain 
  

 A-1 

 Additional Bonds (as defined in the Indenture), which are permitted to be issued on an equal and parity basis with the
Series 2000 Bonds under the Indenture, are referred to as the “Bonds.” 
  
 [2] The Series 2000 Bonds are issued in the form of fully registered Bonds without interest coupons, prior to the Conversion Date, only in integral multiples of $5,000 not less than $100,000 (except for one Bond that
may be less than $100,000 to accommodate partial redemptions), and thereafter in integral multiples of $5,000. 
  
 [3] Proceeds of the Series 2000 Bonds will be used to acquire and install certain machinery and equipment (the “Equipment”), and/or construct
certain improvements (the “Improvements”) (the Equipment and the Improvements constituting solid waste disposal facilities and being referred to herein as the “Facilities”) at the Company’s (hereinafter defined) beef
processing plant located in the City of Liberal, Kansas. The Facilities are being leased to Farmland National Beef Packing Company, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Company”), pursuant to a Lease Agreement, dated as of March 1,
2000 (as from time to time amended, the “Agreement”), between the Issuer and the Company. Payments from the Company under the Agreement, together with other funds held by the Trustee under the Indenture, are required to be sufficient to
pay when due all principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds. All right, title and interest of the Issuer in the Agreement (except certain rights to indemnification and reimbursement) have been pledged to the Trustee
under the Indenture as security for payment of the principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds. 
  
 [4] Payments of principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Series 2000 Bonds due on or before April 11, 2001 are secured by an
irrevocable direct pay letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) issued by U.S. Bank National Association (the “Bank”), for the account of the Trustee. Subject to certain conditions, at any time prior to payment in full of all
Bonds, the Company may deliver to the Trustee a Substitute Credit in replacement of the Letter of Credit or any other Substitute Credit; provided, however, that upon delivery of a Substitute Credit, the Bonds shall be subject to mandatory purchase
in whole as provided herein and in the Indenture. A Substitute Credit may be any guaranty agreement, letter of credit, surety bond, bond insurance policy, repurchase agreement or other security, or any combination of the foregoing, providing for a
manner of payment during its term (which shall be at least one year) of Preference Amounts (if the Substitute Credit is not a direct pay letter of credit) and the principal, Redemption Price and Purchase Price of, and interest on the Bonds which is
issued by the Credit Provider having a short-term credit rating that is no lower than the then current rating of the Credit Provider immediately prior to such substitution. The Letter of Credit and any Substitute Credit are referred to as the
“Credit” and the Bank or any other obligor on a Credit is referred to as a “Credit Provider.” 
  
 [5] The Series 2000 Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and are payable solely from the revenues and receipts derived from the Agreement or any
Credit in effect and other amounts held by the Trustee under the Indenture for payment of the principal or Redemption Price of, or interest on the Bonds. 
  
 [6] This Bond is transferable, as provided in the Indenture, only upon the Bond Register kept for such purpose at the Principal Office of the Trustee by
the Holder hereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing upon surrender hereof, together with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder or such duly authorized attorney, and
thereupon the Issuer shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the designated transferee a new Bond or Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and designation, maturity and interest rate as the surrendered Bond
and in any authorized denomination, all as provided in the Indenture and upon the payment of any charges therein prescribed. The Issuer and the Trustee may treat and consider the person in whose name this Bond is registered as the Holder and
absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal, Purchase Price or Redemption Price hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes whatsoever. 
  
 [7] Prior to the Conversion Date, the “Weekly Rate” of interest
which shall accrue on Series 2000 Bonds shall be (a) from the date of issue through Wednesday, April 12, 2000, an initial rate per annum as determined by the Remarketing Agent (as defined below); and (b) thereafter, for each Weekly Rate Period, an
interest rate equal to the lowest annual rate which, in the opinion of the Remarketing Agent determined on the Weekly Determination Date (as defined below), and based on prevailing market conditions, will allow the Remarketing Agent to sell all
outstanding Series 2000 Bonds on the next succeeding Weekly Adjustment Date at a price equal to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that if the Remarketing Agent shall fail to make such foregoing determination with respect to any Weekly
Rate Period, the rate of interest on Series 2000 Bonds for such period shall be the same as the rate for the Series prevailing during the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no case shall the interest rate
exceed 10% per annum. “Weekly Rate Period” means, prior to the Conversion Date, the period from the Original Date of Issue to and including April 12, 2000, and thereafter each period from and including a Weekly Adjustment Date to and
including the calendar day which next precedes a Weekly Adjustment Date. “Weekly Adjustment Date” means April 13, 2000, and prior to the Conversion Date Thursday of each calendar week thereafter. A “Weekly Determination Date” is
the Business Day which next precedes a Weekly Adjustment Date. 
  
 [8] The “Remarketing Agent” is Merchant Capital, L.L.C., Montgomery, Alabama, or any successor appointed pursuant to the Indenture. 
  

 A-2 

 [9] On and after the Conversion Date, interest on Series 2000 Bonds shall accrue at a fixed rate
(“Fixed Rate”) for each stated maturity. The “Fixed Rate” for any stated maturity of a Series 2000 Bond and for the Fixed Rate Period shall be the rate, not to exceed 10% per annum, which in the opinion of the Remarketing Agent,
based on prevailing market conditions, is the lowest annual rate that will allow all outstanding Series 2000 Bonds of such maturity to be sold on the day of commencement of such Fixed Rate Period at par. 
  
 [10] Prior to the Conversion Date, Series 2000 Bonds in any authorized
denomination shall be purchased (an “Optional Tender Purchase”) from the Holder thereof at a Purchase Price equal to par, plus accrued and unpaid interest, upon (a) delivery by 5:00 p.m. New York, New York time on any Business Day of
written notice (or telephonic or oral notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Trustee at its Principal Office of an irrevocable request (the “Optional Tender Notice”) by such Holder, which request shall identify (i) the aggregate
principal amount, Series designation and the certificate numbers of the Series 2000 Bonds to be purchased, and (ii) a Business Day (the “Optional Tender Date”) no earlier than the seventh calendar day after such notice is given on which
such purchase is to be made (which date may not occur after the Conversion Date); and (b) delivery to the Trustee as Tender Agent at its Principal Office at or prior to 9:00 a.m., New York, New York time, on the Optional Tender Date, of the Bonds to
be purchased, together with an appropriate endorsement for transfer, or accompanied by a bond power endorsed in blank. 
  
 [11] Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Tendered Bond not delivered as required by the preceding clause (b) may, with the consent of the Company, Credit
Provider and Remarketing Agent, nevertheless be deemed to have been purchased on the Optional Tender Date (to the extent amounts are held by the Tender Agent and are available to pay the Purchase Price). 
  
 [12] The Conversion Date shall occur on the earlier of (a) the third Business
Day preceding a Credit Termination Date, if forty-five (45) days prior to such Credit Termination Date a Substitute Credit (or an extension of an existing Credit) is not delivered to the Trustee that will, after such Credit Termination Date, for at
least one year, continue to secure payments of principal, interest and Purchase Price in respect of all Bonds, and (b) any Business Day designated in writing by the Company to the Trustee and Remarketing Agent, accompanied by written consent thereto
of the Credit Provider, not later than forty (40) days prior to such date. “Credit Termination Date” means that date on which a Credit by its terms expires and no longer secures payment. 
  
 [13] On the Conversion Date and on any date on which a Substitute Credit is
to be delivered, as provided in the Indenture, to the Trustee (each such date being a “Mandatory Tender Date”), all Bondholders are required to tender to the Tender Agent and sell all Series 2000 Bonds at a Purchase Price equal to the
principal amount thereof. All Series 2000 Bonds shall be purchased by the Tender Agent on the Mandatory Tender Date, but only to the extent of amounts held by the Tender Agent and available therefor. Payment of the Purchase Price shall be made only
upon delivery of the applicable Bond to the Tender Agent at its Principal Office, together with proper instruments for transfer, or an assignment completed in blank. The Trustee is required to give written notice of the Mandatory Tender Date to all
Holders by mail not less than thirty (30) nor more than forty (40) days before the Mandatory Tender Date, but failure of any Holder to receive such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of any
proceedings for the purchase of the Bonds. 
  
 [14] Subject to the
filing by a Holder of an Election to Retain submitted by a Holder desiring to retain a Bond, all Series 2000 Bonds are required to be delivered to the Trustee at its Principal Office for purchase on each Mandatory Tender Date, if any, at a Purchase
Price equal to the principal amount thereof. 
  
 [15] On and prior
to the Conversion Date, Series 2000 Bonds are subject to redemption on any Business Day in whole or part as requested by the Company at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest to the date of redemption.

  
 [16] With the consent of the Credit Provider, all Bonds are
subject to redemption in whole and not in part on the first Business Day for which notice can be duly given occurring on or after the redemption date requested by the Company, at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus
interest to the redemption date upon the optional prepayment by the Company of amounts payable under the Agreement, if one or more of the following events shall have occurred: (a) the Equipment and Improvements shall have been damaged or destroyed
to such extent that, in the judgment of the Company, they: (i) cannot be reasonably restored within six (6) months to substantially their condition immediately preceding such damage or destruction, or (ii) cannot reasonably be used to carry on the
normal operations of the Company for a period of six (6) months; or (iii) the reasonably estimated cost of restoration exceeds 20% of the original face amount of all Bonds and exceeds the net proceeds from insurance plus any deductible amount); or
(b) title to or the temporary use of all or substantially all of the Equipment and Improvements shall have been taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by a governmental authority such that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company,
that (i) the Company will be prevented from carrying on its normal operations for six (6) months, or (ii) the reasonably estimated cost of restoration of the Equipment and Improvements exceeds twenty percent (20%) of the original face amount of the
Bonds and exceeds the net proceeds of the award; or (c) as a result of certain changes in the Kansas Constitution or the Constitution of the United States of America, or as a result of any legislative or administrative action, any final degree,
judgment or order, the agreements contained in the Agreement shall have become impossible of performance in accordance with the intent and purposes of the parties, or unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities 
  

 A-3 

 shall have been imposed upon the Company, including, but not limited to the imposition of certain new state or local ad
valorem, property, income or other taxes not imposed on the date of the Agreement. 
  
 [17] If interest on the Series 2000 Bonds becomes includable in gross income due to a Determination of Taxability (as defined in the Indenture), all Series 2000 Bonds outstanding will be called for redemption at a
Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest to the redemption date. Bonds will be called for redemption on the earliest date for which proper notice can be given. 
  
 [18] If an Event of Default shall ever occur under the Agreement, Series 2000
Bonds shall, at the option of the Credit Provider, be called for redemption, in whole and not in part, at a price equal to their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the Redemption Date, on any date thereafter designated by the Credit Provider
in writing to the Trustee for which proper notice hereunder can be given. 
  
 [19] If less than all outstanding Series 2000 Bonds of a maturity are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by lot by the Trustee in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may
determine. Notice of redemption shall be given to the registered Holders of all Bonds to be redeemed by mall to such registered Holders’ addresses as such appear in the Bond Register. If notice of redemption shall have been so given, the Bonds
or portions thereof specified in such notice shall become due and payable at the applicable Redemption Price on the redemption date therein designated, and if moneys or Governmental Obligations (as defined in the Indenture) for the payment of the
Redemption Price of all the Bonds to be redeemed, together with interest to the redemption date, shall have been made available for such payment on such date, then from and after the redemption date interest on such Bonds shall cease to accrue and
become payable. Less than all of a Bond in an authorized denomination in excess of a minimum authorized denomination may be so redeemed, and in such case, upon surrender of such Bond, there shall be issued to the Holder thereof, without charge
therefor, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of such Bond, Bonds of the same designation, maturity and interest rate in any authorized denomination and registered in such name or names as may be requested. 
  
 AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE REFERRED TO HEREIN, UNTIL THE TERMINATION OF THE
SYSTEM OF BOOK-ENTRY-ONLY TRANSFERS THROUGH THE DEPOSITORY TRUST COMPANY (TOGETHER WITH ANY SUCCESSOR SECURITIES DEPOSITORY APPOINTED PURSUANT TO THE INDENTURE (THE “DEPOSITORY”), AND NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE INDENTURE TO

 Interest shall be payable on each
October 1 and April 1 (the “Interest Payment Date”) in each year commencing after the Conversion Date. Overdue principal or Redemption Price of, and (to the extent legally enforceable) interest on this Bond shall bear interest at the rate
borne by this Bond. 
  
 Interest on this Bond is payable by check

fully registered Bonds without interest coupons in the authorized denomination of $5,000 or any whole multiple thereof.

 [INSERT PARAGRAPHS [3], [4], [5] AND [6] FROM EXHIBIT A] 
  
 Subject to an Election to Retain submitted by a Holder as hereinafter stated, all Series 2000 Bonds are required to be
delivered to the Trustee for purchase (“Mandatory Purchase”) on each Mandatory Tender Date for such Series by the Tender Agent at a Purchase Price equal to the principal face amount thereof. The Trustee is the Tender Agent. 
  
 The next mandatory Tender Date for Series 2000 Bonds occurring after the
Authentication Date, if any, is the date so identified on the face hereof, and thereafter, subject to certain conditions, on any Business Day designated in a written notice delivered by the Company not later than forth (40) days prior to the
Mandatory Tender Date next preceding such designated date. 
  
 The
Trustee is required to mail notice of each Mandatory Tender Date, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty (30) but not more than forth (40) days prior to each Mandatory Tender Date. Not later than the 15th day next preceding any Mandatory Tender Date, whether or note an Election to Retain as below described is delivered,
each Holder is required to deliver his Series 2000 Bond or Bonds to the Tender Agent with the form of assignment completed in blank. A Bond is not subject to a mandatory purchase on a Mandatory Tender Date if, and only if, on or prior to the
15th day next preceding the Mandatory Tender Date the Trustee receives from the Holder thereof a duly executed
Election to Retain in substantially the form set forth in the Indenture, accompanied by the Bond to which the Election to Retain applies. HOLDERS WHO FAIL TO DELIVER THEIR BONDS FOR PURCHASE ON ANY MANDATORY TENDER DATE SHALL CEASE TO BE
ENTITLED TO HOLD SUCH BONDS OR TO ACCRUE INTEREST IN RESPECT THEREOF FROM AND AFTER SUCH DATE UNLESS AN ELECTION TO RETAIN FOR SUCH BONDS ID DULY FILED, ACCOMPANIED BY SUCH BONDS. 
  
 On and after each Mandatory Tender Date for Series 2000 Bonds to and until the earlier of the next Mandatory Tender Date for
the Series, or earlier redemption or final maturity, each outstanding Series 2000 Bond shall bear interest at the lowest annual rate which will, in the written opinion of the Remarketing Agent, allow all outstanding Series 2000 Bonds to be sold on
such Mandatory Tender Date at par. In addition, in accordance with the Indenture the Remarketing Agent is required to use its best efforts to remarket the tender bonds at the Purchase Price on each Mandatory Tender Date. If the Remarketing Agent
fails to compute an interest rate as required for the Mandatory Tender Date. If the Remarketing Agent fails to compute an interest rate as required for the Mandatory Tender Date then the interest rate in effect immediately prior to the applicable
Mandatory Tender Date shall remain in effect. Each determination of the Remarketing Agent as above stated shall be conclusive for all purposes.

 PLEASE BE ADVISED that in accordance with the Indenture of Trust, dated as
of March 1, 2000 (the “Indenture”), between the City of Liberal, Kansas, and Commerce Bank, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the above-referenced Bonds (the “Bonds”) were issued, all currently
outstanding Bonds are subject to mandatory purchase on [INSERT THE MANDATORY TENDER DATE] (the “Mandatory Tender Date”) at a price equal to 100% of the face amount thereof. 
  
 From and after such Mandatory Tender Date you shall no longer be entitled to retain your Bonds. Further, no interest on such
Bonds will thereafter accrue to your benefit. You must deliver your Bonds to:

 Such Bond(s) should be delivered with the assignment on each Bond dated and executed in accordance with the Bond form. The signature should be guaranteed by a member of the Medallion Signature Program as stated in the assignment form.

  
 On the Mandatory Tender Date the Trustee will mail to you the

 [INCLUDE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH ONLY IF MANDATORY TENDER DATE IS A CONVERSION DATE] 
  
 The interest rate borne by all Bonds to remain outstanding following the Mandatory Tender Date shall be subject to adjournment on the Mandatory Tender
Date to a Fixed Rate (as defined in the Indenture). From the Mandatory Tender Date and thereafter until [INSERT FINAL MATURITY] or earlier maturity or redemption, such Bonds shall bear interest at the Fixed Rate, which shall be that rate, which in
the opinion of the Remarketing Agent (as defined in the Indenture), is the lowest rate which will permit all Bonds to be resold at a price equal to the principal amount of such Bonds, plus accrued interest; provided that if the Remarketing Agent
fails to make such determination the rate in effect immediately prior to the Mandatory Tender Date shall remain in effect. 
  
 [INCLUDE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS ONLY IF MANDATORY TENDER DATE IS NOT A CONVERSION DATE] 
  
 Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, you may retain ownership of any Bond(s) if you sign and complete the
enclosed Election to Retain (or a form substantially similar thereto which in the sole discretion of the Trustee is satisfactory) with respect to such Bond(s). However, such Election to Retain must be received, together with your Bond(s) with the
assignment duly executed in the blank, by the Trustee no later than [INSERT THE 15TH DAY IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING
THE MANDATORY TENDER DATE] at the above-stated address. 
  
 If you
have duly filed an Election to Retain, accompanied by the Bond(s) subject thereto, the Trustee will deliver to you new Bond(s), unless the Bonds are in Book-Entry Form, with the same principal amount, but bearing the new interest rate(s) to commence
on [INSERT MANDATORY TENDER DATE]. In certain circumstances, the stated maturity of your Bond(s) may be adjusted to an earlier date in accordance with the Indenture, in which case your new bond will reflect such adjustment.

Utah limited liability company, with its principal place of business located at 3562 Oakwood, Park City, Utah 84060-3997, as lessor, hereinafter called “OWNER”, and FARMLAND NATIONAL BEEF PACKING COMPANY, L.P., a Delaware limited

 W I T N E S S E T H: That; 
  
 1. THE LEASED AIRCRAFT. OWNER leases to
LESSEE, and LESSEE leases from OWNER, upon the terms and conditions herein contained, the following described aircraft, including, without limitation, all presently installed equipment, including, but not limited to, the engines identified below and
the equipment listed on Annex A, all engine, airframe, and other logbooks for or relating to the aircraft and all additions thereto and replacements or substitutions therefor, all of the foregoing items (including, without limitation, all additions
thereto and replacements or substitutions therefor) being herein referred to as the “Aircraft”:

	 Serial No. RH
	  	108158

  
 OWNER either owns the Aircraft on the
date hereof or will purchase the Aircraft on or before the date the Aircraft is actually delivered to LESSEE. 
  
 2. DELIVERY OF AIRCRAFT. The Aircraft will be delivered to LESSEE at Wichita, Kansas, or at such other location and on such terms as shall be mutually agreed to by
the parties. 
  
 3. LOCATION AND
USE OF AIRCRAFT. The Aircraft shall be based at the Liberal Municipal Airport at Liberal, Seward County, Kansas. The permanent base of the Aircraft may not be changed to another location without
OWNER’s prior written consent to such new permanent base. LESSEE shall not fly the Aircraft outside the continental United States without the prior written consent of OWNER. LESSEE will use the Aircraft for business purposes in connection with
its business and shall not use the Aircraft for the transportation of persons or goods for hire to third parties without OWNER’s prior express written consent. LESSEE shall have operational control and possession, 

 
command and control of the aircraft at all times under this Lease, except when OWNER is using the aircraft pursuant to Article 11. 
  
 4. TERM AND LEASE RENTAL;
CONTINGENT LEASE TERMINATION PAYMENT. The Aircraft is leased for a term of eleven (11) months, commencing with the date of the delivery of the Aircraft to LESSEE as shown on a delivery and acceptance receipt signed by LESSEE or LESSEE’s
agent. As consideration for the lease of the Aircraft, LESSEE agrees to pay OWNER even monthly rentals of $42,059.26 (hereinafter “Regular Monthly Rental Payments”). The first Regular Monthly Rental Payment shall be paid to OWNER on the
delivery date of the Aircraft, and each subsequent Regular Monthly Rental Payment shall be due and payable to OWNER on or before the same day of each succeeding month (hereinafter “Monthly Rental Payment Date”) during the lease term. All
payments shall be payable to J.R. Miller Enterprises, L.L.C., unless otherwise directed. Any late rental payments shall be subject to a late payment fee of one and one-half percent (1 1/2%) of the amount of the late rental payment per month or fraction thereof. The term of this Lease shall automatically renew for successive eleven (11)
month periods; provided that OWNER or LESSEE may terminate this Lease upon ninety (90) days’ written notice prior to the end of any lease term. 
  
 If LESSEE terminates this Lease (but not if OWNER terminates this Lease) within the first three (3) years after the execution hereof, and OWNER elects to sell the
Aircraft within thirty (30) days of such termination in a commercially reasonable method of sale, LESSEE shall pay OWNER a contingent lease termination payment (“Contingent Payment”) if the net sale proceeds from the sale of the Aircraft
(net of all reasonable expenses of sale, including, without limitation, any reasonable sales commission) are less than the stipulated loss value of the Aircraft as of the nearest month on the Amortization Schedule attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Annex “B.” The Contingent Payment shall be equal to the difference between the subject stipulated loss value and the net sale proceeds from the Sale of the Aircraft. If the net sale proceeds from the sale of the Aircraft exceed
the subject stipulated loss value of the Aircraft, LESSEE shall not owe OWNER any Contingent Payment for the termination of this Lease. The Contingent Payment shall be due within thirty (30) days from LESSEE’s receipt from OWNER of a detailed
accounting of the determination of the net sale proceeds from the sale of the Aircraft. 
  
 5. INSURANCE. LESSEE shall, at LESSEE’s expense, secure and maintain in effect throughout the term of this Aircraft Lease, as a minimum, insurance coverage on the Aircraft as follows: 
  

	 (a)
	 	 Bodily Injury Liability —
 Including Passengers
	  	 }
 }
	  	 	 
	 	 	 	  	}	  	$	100,000,000
	 	 	 	  	 	  	
	

	 (b)
	 	 Property Damage Liability
	  	}	  	 	Single Limit
				
	 (c)
	 	 Hull Insurance
	  	 	  	$	4,075,000

 All insurance shall be written in the name of OWNER and LESSEE, and shall name OWNER as loss payee. Hull
insurance shall be all risk ground and flight, include a breach of warranty endorsement in favor of OWNER, provide for 30 days’ prior written notice to OWNER of cancellation, and provide coverage for foreign object damage. All insurance shall
be written in insurance companies and with terms (including, but not limited to, maximum deductibles) acceptable to OWNER. 
  
 LESSEE shall furnish OWNER copies of all hull and liability insurance policies and all endorsements and attachments thereto, whether the insurance is purchased at the
beginning or during the term of the Aircraft Lease. LESSEE shall furnish OWNER evidence that the required insurance has been secured prior to the delivery of the Aircraft. 
  
 Farmland Industries, Inc., including its subsidiaries, shall be named as an Additional Insured under any policy procured or maintained by
LESSEE as insurance coverage on the Aircraft. 
  
 6. RISK OF LOSS. 
  
 a. LESSEE hereby assumes and shall bear the entire risk of loss, theft, confiscation, damage, to or destruction of the Aircraft from any cause whatsoever,
and shall promptly notify OWNER thereof. Except as otherwise provided in Article 6(b) below, this Aircraft Lease shall not terminate and the obligations of LESSEE shall not be affected by reason of any damage or loss of the Aircraft. Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Aircraft Lease, LESSEE shall not assume or bear the risk of loss, theft, confiscation, damage to or destruction of the Aircraft when such damage is caused by the acts of omissions of OWNER, or if such loss, theft,
confiscation, damage or destruction occurs during, or as a result of, any hours of usage by OWNER, its agents, owners, or employees.  
  
 b. All references to hull insurance that follow are based on the assumption that such coverage has been maintained in an amount at least as great as that
required by Article 5(c) hereof. In the event of loss or damage to the Aircraft as described below, LESSEE shall be obligated to pay OWNER any applicable deductible and any deficiency between the amount of hull insurance required by Article 5(c)
hereof and the amount of hull insurance in force, and OWNER shall, provided LESSEE is not then in default hereunder, refund to LESSEE any excess of the proceeds from such insurance over the amount of the hull insurance required by Article 5(c)
hereof. 
  
 (i) If the Aircraft is lost or
damaged beyond repair and the insurance company pays OWNER the amount of the hull insurance required by Article 5(c), LESSEE shall, within ten (10) days after such payment by the insurance company, pay OWNER the amount of the hull insurance
deductible plus all other amounts due hereunder and this Aircraft Lease shall end. If payment is not made to OWNER for the Aircraft by the insurance company within ninety (90) days of the date of loss, LESSEE shall pay OWNER on the ninetieth (90th)
day an amount equal to the hull insurance required by Article 5(c) hereof, including any applicable hull insurance deductible. LESSEE shall continue to pay the Regular Monthly Rental Payments and all other sums due hereunder as the same become due
until this Aircraft 

 
Lease ends with the receipt by OWNER of all payments from the insurance company and/or LESSEE as set forth above. If LESSEE makes full payment to OWNER prior
to its receipt of any hull insurance payments, OWNER will assign to LESSEE all claims it may have against the insurance company under the hull insurance policy and this Aircraft Lease shall end. If such insurance claims are not assignable for any
reason, and LESSEE has made all prescribed payments to OWNER, OWNER shall pursue such insurance claims on behalf of LESSEE. 
  
 (ii) If the Aircraft is only partially damaged, this Aircraft Lease shall remain in full force and effect, and LESSEE shall at its cost
and expense repair the Aircraft so as to place it as nearly as possible in the same condition as it was before the damage. To the extent such damage is covered by insurance, OWNER, upon receiving from LESSEE such information and such documents as
may be required, shall make claim under the insurance policy and shall promptly reimburse LESSEE for the cost of repairing the Aircraft to the full extent of, but not more than, the net amount of such insurance recovery actually received;
provided, however, that no such payment shall be made if LESSEE has not paid all amounts then owing hereunder and the payment shall not be made until the repairs have been approved by OWNER or its designees. During the period the Aircraft is
being repaired, LESSEE shall continue to pay the Regular Monthly Rental Payments and all other sums due hereunder as they become due. If payment for the damage to the Aircraft is not made to OWNER by the insurance company, LESSEE shall be obligated
to repair the Aircraft at its sole cost and expense, and OWNER will assign to LESSEE all claims it may have against the insurance company for the damages to the Aircraft. 
  
 (iii) If the Aircraft is seized, condemned, confiscated, or in any manner taken by the government of the
United States, any foreign government, or any political subdivision thereof, or any agencies of any such governments or political subdivisions, or by any terrorist or terrorist group, LESSEE shall immediately notify OWNER in writing and take all
necessary action to secure release of the Aircraft. If the Aircraft is not returned to OWNER or LESSEE within ninety (90) days of such taking, LESSEE shall immediately notify OWNER in writing and shall forthwith pay OWNER the value of the Aircraft,
which for purposes of this paragraph shall be equal to the amount of the hull insurance required by Article 5(c) hereof, and upon such payment being made by LESSEE to OWNER, this Aircraft Lease shall end. In the event of such payment, OWNER shall
transfer to LESSEE its interest in the Aircraft. LESSEE shall continue to pay the Regular Monthly Rental Payments and all other sums due hereunder until receipt by OWNER of payment from LESSEE pursuant to this subparagraph. 
  
 Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6.b., LESSEE shall not assume or bear the
risk of loss, theft, confiscation, damage to or destruction of the Aircraft when such damage is caused by the negligent acts of omissions of OWNER, or if such loss, theft, confiscation, damage or destruction occurs during, or as a result of, any
hours of negligent usage by OWNER, its agents, owners, or employees. Any loss to the Aircraft resulting from OWNER’S negligent acts or omissions shall be the sole responsibility of OWNER. Nothing in the immediately preceding sentence shall be

 construed to contradict the parties’ agreement in Article 8 hereof to share the cost of regular maintenance and
repairs of the Aircraft based upon their proportionate, non-negligent use of the Aircraft. 
  
 c. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 6 (but subject to the agreement of the parties that any loss to the Aircraft caused by the negligent act or omission of LESSEE or OWNER shall be the sole
responsibility of such negligent party), LESSEE and OWNER shall share proportionately any uninsured loss to the Aircraft based upon their proportionate use of the Aircraft during the preceding year, or partial year if the loss occurs during the
first year of the lease term. 
  
 7.
LESSEE AND OWNER COVENANTS. LESSEE covenants and agrees: 
  
 (a) to obtain all licenses and registrations (except Federal Aviation Administration Registrations) required by law, in the name of OWNER; to pay all
taxes, assessments, licenses and other fees and charges imposed by any national, state or municipal government or other public or airport authority of any nature whatsoever on this Aircraft Lease, on OWNER’s purchase of the Aircraft for lease
to LESSEE hereunder, on any payments hereunder, on the Aircraft or on its use during the term of this Aircraft Lease (including penalties and interest, but excluding any sales tax payable on OWNER’s purchase of the Aircraft and excluding any
state or federal income taxes on OWNER’S receipt of payments hereunder) whether the same be payable by or assessed to OWNER or LESSEE and whether assessed during the term or after the expiration or cancellation of this Aircraft Lease, and to
save OWNER free and harmless therefrom or, if under local law or custom payment therefor may be made only by OWNER, to reimburse OWNER upon demand for any such payments made by OWNER; to file any returns or reports in connection with the foregoing
required of either OWNER or LESSEE except when OWNER makes payment as aforesaid; 
  
 (b) that the Aircraft will be used and operated (1) in accordance with the operating instructions of the manufacturers, (2) in conformity with all laws, ordinances, rules and regulations, national, state, municipal or
otherwise, now existing or hereafter enacted, controlling or in any way affecting the operation, use or possession of the Aircraft or the use of any airport premises by the Aircraft; and (3) only in compliance with the conditions and limitations set
forth in the applications for or policies of insurance made or issued pursuant to the terms of this Aircraft Lease; 
  
 (c) that LESSEE shall not make any alterations or modifications to the Aircraft or install any additional equipment therein without the prior express
written consent of OWNER; that unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing prior to installation, all additional equipment installed in the Aircraft shall become the property of OWNER forthwith, be included in the definition of the Aircraft and
subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Aircraft Lease; 
  
 (d) that neither this Aircraft Lease nor LESSEE’s rights hereunder shall be assignable by LESSEE nor shall the Aircraft be subleased or loaned without the prior express written consent of OWNER, and LESSEE will not permit any charge,
lien, or encumbrance of any nature to be placed or to remain upon the Aircraft; 
  

 (e) to inspect the Aircraft upon receipt and furnish OWNER a delivery and acceptance receipt; upon
acceptance it shall be conclusively presumed that LESSEE accepted the Aircraft in its then condition and that it has been found by LESSEE to be in good, safe, and serviceable condition and fit for LESSEE’s intended use; that at the termination
of this Aircraft Lease, however caused, LESSEE shall deliver possession of the Aircraft to OWNER at Liberal, Kansas, or at another mutually acceptable location, in the same condition as when delivered to LESSEE, excepting only normal wear, and, if
the Aircraft is not returned in such condition, LESSEE shall pay OWNER all applicable rentals that would have accrued hereunder until the Aircraft is put into such condition plus all reasonable costs of all parts and labor necessary to put the
Aircraft in such condition; to permit OWNER and its designees at all reasonable times to inspect the Aircraft; and to furnish any information with respect to the Aircraft and its use and maintenance that OWNER may reasonably request; 
  
 (f) to be liable to OWNER for and indemnify OWNER against any and all
accidental damage to the Aircraft which occurs in any manner from any cause or causes during the term of this Aircraft Lease or until redelivery of the Aircraft to OWNER, except to the extent such accidental damage to the Aircraft occurs during or
as a result of any hours of usage by OWNER, its agents, owners, officers, directors, or employees, and except to the extent that OWNER shall be promptly paid for such damage pursuant to the heretofore described insurance, and to indemnify and save
OWNER harmless from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, demands, liabilities, penalties, fines, and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever which may be asserted against OWNER or the Aircraft or incurred by OWNER arising out of or in any
manner occasioned by LESSEE’s use, operation, or maintenance of the Aircraft during the term of this Aircraft Lease or until redelivery of the Aircraft to OWNER, except to the extent that such claims, costs, expenses, demands, liabilities,
penalties, fines, and forfeitures occur during or as a result of any hours of usage by OWNER, its agents, owners, officers, directors, or employees, and that this covenant of indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Aircraft
Lease; 
  
 (g) to maintain all records, logs, and other materials
in good form as required pursuant to this Aircraft Lease or by the Federal Aviation Administration or any other governmental authority to be maintained in respect of the Aircraft, to make the same available at all reasonable times for inspection by
OWNER (which right of inspection shall include, without limitation, the right to inspect all records and materials generated and maintained by LESSEE or by the Aircraft’s manufacturer or the designees thereof in connection with any maintenance
monitoring system), and at the expiration or termination of this Aircraft Lease to deliver such materials to OWNER; 
  
 (h) to permit the Aircraft to be operated only by pilots having a current certification as required by the Federal Aviation Administration or any other
governmental authority and which meets the minimum requirements of the heretofore described insurance policies or applications; however, the operation of the Aircraft by OWNER, its agents, owners, officers, directors, or employees in a manner so as
not to meet the requirements of such insurance policies or applications shall not result in a breach of this Article 7(h) by LESSEE; 
  
 (i) to pay for all fuel, oil and other consumables for operation of the Aircraft; 

 (j) to carry in the Aircraft a fully executed copy of this Aircraft Lease at all times; 
  
 (k) to maintain a hangar facility for storage of the Aircraft at the airport
identified in Article 3. 
  
 OWNER covenants to be bound by the applicable
provisions of Article 7(b), (g), (h), (i), and (j) above during any time that the Aircraft is being used by, or is under the operational control of, OWNER as permitted herein. 
  
 8. MAINTENANCE AND RESERVES FOR ENGINE
REPLACEMENT. LESSEE (with cost sharing from OWNER as provided below) will cause the Aircraft to be maintained and kept in good order and repair and completely airworthy, replace any and all parts which may be worn out, lost,
destroyed, or unavailable for use in or on the Aircraft, and cause all inspections and overhauls of the Aircraft and its engines to be made, all in accordance with the requirements and recommendations of the manufacturer of the Aircraft and the
manufacturers of the components thereof and in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration or any other governmental authority. LESSEE further agrees to keep the Aircraft and its engines enrolled and participating at all
times in the manufacturers’ maintenance and maintenance tracking systems, if any. Except in case of emergency, all maintenance, repairs, parts replacement, inspections, and overhauls shall be performed at factory authorized service centers. It
is understood that if any emergency maintenance item can be deferred for handling at the next scheduled routine inspection at a factory authorized service center, then such items will be deferred. LESSEE will notify OWNER within one working day when
such emergency maintenance is required and forward complete copies of all invoices and work orders arising therefrom to OWNER. OWNER will contribute to the cost of all regular and emergency maintenance of the Aircraft and of keeping
the Aircraft in good condition and repair as described herein based upon OWNER’s proportionate share of the total number of hours that the Aircraft is flown annually. The parties shall keep a log of the total flight hours used by LESSEE and by
OWNER to determine the parties’ proportionate use of the Aircraft over the term of the Lease. Initially, OWNER shall reimburse LESSEE for five and one half percent (5.5%) of LESSEE’s out-of-pocket costs for maintenance and upkeep of the
Aircraft upon monthly invoices therefore with supporting documentation. OWNER’s proportionate share of such maintenance and upkeep expenses shall be reconciled annually. 
  
 LESSEE agrees, as further consideration for the lease of the Aircraft, to pay OWNER on a monthly basis an amount equal to $160 multiplied by
the number of hours of usage by LESSEE during the preceding month, excepting any hours of usage by OWNER, which is the subject of Section 11 hereof. This $160 per hour engine replacement reserve amount shall be reviewed annually and adjusted
pursuant to the Cessna Finance Corporation quoted engine rate of reserve for similar jet aircraft engines. 
  
 LESSEE and OWNER agree that no upgrades or enhancements to the Aircraft will be made during the term hereof without their mutual agreement upon the desirability of such upgrade or enhancement and upon how such upgrade
or enhancement will be paid for or impact lease payments hereunder. 

 9A. DEFAULT BY LESSEE. If LESSEE fails to repair and maintain the
Aircraft, discharge all liens (except for liens created by Owner), secure all licenses or registrations, pay all taxes (except for any sales tax due on OWNER’s purchase of the Aircraft and any of Owner’s income tax obligations),
assessments, licenses, and other fees or charges, pay all costs and expenses to be paid by LESSEE, procure and maintain insurance, all as above provided, or to perform any of the other covenants or obligations of LESSEE, OWNER, at its option, may do
so, and all advances and expenses incurred by OWNER in connection therewith shall be repaid by LESSEE to OWNER upon demand, together with interest thereon at the highest applicable rate allowed by law (but not more than one and one-half percent
(1.5%) per month or fraction thereof) until paid. OWNER may enter upon the premises where the Aircraft is located for purpose of inspection, and may remove the Aircraft forthwith, without notice to LESSEE, if, in the reasonable opinion of OWNER, the
Aircraft is being improperly used or maintained. 
  
 If LESSEE shall fail to make
any Regular Monthly Rental Payment or fail to pay any other amounts payable hereunder when the same are due and payable, or if LESSEE should default in the performance of any of the other terms, conditions, or covenants to be performed by LESSEE
hereunder, or if LESSEE should default in the performance of any of the terms, conditions, or covenants to be performed by LESSEE under any other contracts or agreements between LESSEE and OWNER at any time, or if the insurance required to be
maintained hereunder shall expire or be canceled and LESSEE shall fail to replace such insurance, or if the Aircraft shall be misused or abandoned by LESSEE, or if LESSEE shall become insolvent, commit any act of bankruptcy, or if bankruptcy
proceedings are begun by or against LESSEE, or if a receiver is appointed for LESSEE, or if for any reason OWNER shall, in good faith, reasonably deem said Aircraft or itself insecure, then OWNER, at its option, and in addition to and without
prejudice to any other remedies, enter upon the premises where the Aircraft is located and take possession of and remove the Aircraft, with or without notice to LESSEE, and with or without legal proceedings, and in removing the Aircraft, OWNER may,
if permitted by law, use any of LESSEE’s licenses in respect to the Aircraft and OWNER may thereupon terminate this Aircraft Lease. 
  
 Upon such termination, LESSEE shall be liable to OWNER and shall forthwith pay OWNER the amount of OWNER’s damages caused by LESSEE’s default(s), including, but
not limited to, any and all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by OWNER in the repossession of the Aircraft (including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees, where allowed by law, and transportation and storage
expenses). In addition, LESSEE shall forthwith pay OWNER any other sums due under other provisions of this Aircraft Lease, including, but not limited to, past due Regular Monthly Rental Payments, reserves for engine replacement, and late payment
fees. 
  
 9B. OWNER DEFAULTS. If OWNER
materially breaches its obligations under Article 14 herein or its obligations to share maintenance and repair expenses of the Aircraft as provided herein, LESSEE may cancel this Lease upon not less than thirty (30) days’ written notice, after
giving OWNER not less than ten (10) business days’ written notice of the default and an opportunity to cure such default within such ten (10) business day period. At the end of such cancellation notice period, LESSEE shall return the Aircraft
in the condition required in Article 7(e) hereof. 

 10. NO REPRESENTATIONS. Time is of the essence of this Aircraft Lease. No
representations, warranties, promises, guarantees, covenants, or agreements, oral or written, expressed or implied, have been made by LESSEE or OWNER, or any agents or employees thereof, with respect to this Aircraft Lease or the Aircraft, except as
expressly provided herein. 
  
 11. OCCASIONAL USE
BY OWNER. Under circumstances not detrimental to LESSEE, and to LESSEE’S ready access to the Aircraft whenever LESSEE desires to use the Aircraft, LESSEE agrees to make the Aircraft available to OWNER, without
pilots, for OWNER’S occasional, incidental use. LESSEE shall be reimbursed for costs incurred by LESSEE, if any, for fuel, hangar and tie-down costs away from the Aircraft’s base of operation and miscellaneous out-of-pocket expenses and
taxes incurred by LESSEE that are attributable to such occasional use of the Aircraft by OWNER, if any. During all such OWNER flights, OWNER shall assume operational control, possession, command and control of the Aircraft, and shall indemnify,
defend, and hold harmless LESSEE from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses, demands, liabilities, penalties, fines, and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever which may be asserted against LESSEE arising out of or in any manner occasioned
by OWNER’s use, operation, or maintenance of the Aircraft during the term of this Aircraft Lease or until redelivery of the Aircraft to OWNER, and that this covenant of indemnity shall survive expiration or termination of this Aircraft Lease.
If OWNER and LESSEE agree to allow OWNER to use the aircraft with LESSEE’S pilots in a context that would require reimbursement to LESSEE for use of the pilot’s time, OWNER shall be responsible for applicable excise taxes of all types with
respect to such payments, if any. Nothing contained herein shall preclude OWNER from separately, occasionally employing LESSEE’s pilots on a part-time basis that does not interfere with LESSEE’s employment of such pilots on a full-time
basis. OWNER shall be solely responsible for all payments to pilots, including compliance with withholding taxes, if any, for any such part-time employment. OWNER shall not use the Aircraft or LESSEE’S pilots under any circumstances that would
be characterized as causing LESSEE to be conducting a commercial flight or flight for hire. 
  
 12. MISCELLANEOUS. This Aircraft Lease is, and is intended to be, a lease, and LESSEE does not acquire any right, title, or interest whatsoever, legal or equitable, in the Aircraft, except its
interest as LESSEE hereunder as expressed herein. The relationship between OWNER and LESSEE hereunder shall always and only be that of lessor and lessee of the Aircraft. OWNER covenants that if LESSEE is not in default under this Aircraft Lease as
described herein, LESSEE shall peacefully and quietly hold, possess, and use the Aircraft during the entire lease term, free from any interference or hindrance. Rentals hereunder shall not abate during the term hereof because LESSEE’s right to
possession of the Aircraft has terminated, except if such termination is the result of an early termination hereof as permitted in Article 4 above. 
  
 LESSEE shall at no time during this Lease for any purpose whatsoever be or become the agent of OWNER, and OWNER shall not be responsible for the acts and omissions of
LESSEE or LESSEE’S agents. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary, OWNER shall at no time during this Aircraft Lease for any purpose whatsoever be or become the agent of LESSEE, and LESSEE shall not be responsible for the acts and
omissions of OWNER or OWNER’s AGENTS. The rights and remedies with respect to any term and condition of the Aircraft Lease shall be cumulative and not 

 exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights and remedies in favor of OWNER or LESSEE under any applicable
law. Failure by either party to enforce strictly any provisions of this Aircraft Lease shall not be construed as a waiver thereof. All notices shall be effective and binding on the parties hereto upon actual delivery or when deposited in the United
States mail with first class postage prepaid and properly addressed to the address of the party set forth herein. This Aircraft Lease may not be assigned without the written consent of the non-assigning party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. All payments or other money due hereunder shall be paid by LESSEE or OWNER without recoupment, setoff, or counterclaim, either in law or in equity. This Aircraft Lease, which, together with the referenced Annex, constitutes the entire
agreement between the parties, shall be binding on the heirs, executors, administrators, successors, and assigns of LESSEE and inure to the benefit of the parties’ successors and assigns. Except as elsewhere herein provided, any change or
modification to this Aircraft Lease shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto. This Aircraft Lease is a Kansas Contract and shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the Laws of the State of Kansas. 
  
 13. NO OTHER WARRANTIES;
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. LESSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE AIRCRAFT IS A USED
AIRCRAFT. EXCEPT FOR THE WARRANTY OF TITLE, TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES BY OWNER APPLICABLE TO
THE AIRCRAFT, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WHETHER OF MERCHANTABILITY, DESCRIPTION, DURABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, ALL OF SUCH
WARRANTIES BEING HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN,
OWNER SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO LESSEE FOR ANY CLAIM, LOSS, OR
DAMAGE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY,
BY THE AIRCRAFT OR THE USE THEREOF, WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES OR ALLEGED
DAMAGES ARE GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER SUCH
LIABILITY OR ALLEGED LIABILITY ARISES OR IS ALLEGED TO ARISE OUT OF
ANY DESIGN, MANUFACTURING, OR OTHER DEFECT, LATENT OR PATENT, IMPROPER MAINTENANCE,
STRICT LIABILITY, CRASH WORTHINESS, OR ANY OTHER STATUTORY OR COMMON LAW
THEORY OF LIABILITY WHATSOEVER. 
  
 14. OWNER COVENANTS. OWNER covenants and agrees: 
  
 (a) that OWNER, its agents, owners, officers, directors, and employees,
whether on LESSEE’s business or otherwise, shall not use or operate the Aircraft, or cause the Aircraft to be used or operated, (1) in violation of the Operating Instructions of the manufacturers, (2) in violation of any laws, ordinances,
rules, and regulations, national, state, municipal, or otherwise, now existing or hereafter enacted, controlling or in any way affecting the operation, use, or possession of the Aircraft or the use of any airport premises by the Aircraft, (3) in
violation or contravention with the conditions and limitations set forth in the applications for or policies of insurance made or issued pursuant to the terms of this Aircraft Lease, or (4) in violation of any of the provisions of Article 7 above
that are applicable to OWNER. 
  
 (b) to be liable to LESSEE for
and indemnify LESSEE against any and all claims, costs, expenses, demands, liabilities, penalties, fines, and forfeitures of any nature whatsoever which may 

 
be asserted against LESSEE or incurred by LESSEE arising out of or in any manner occasioned by OWNER’s breach of this Article. This covenant of
indemnity shall survive the expiration or termination of this Aircraft Lease. 
  
 15. TRUTH IN LEASING. 
  
 (a) LESSEE AND OWNER HAVE REVIEWED THE
AIRCRAFT’S MAINTENANCE AND OPERATING LOGS AND HAVE FOUND THAT THE
