REPRESENTATIONS

representations as the basis for the undertaking on its part herein contained:

     (a) Organization and Authority. The Issuer is a public body corporate and
politic, created and validly existing pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State,
including particularly the provisions of the Act. The Issuer has all requisite power and
authority under the Act to (i) issue the Bonds, (ii) lend the proceeds thereof to the
Borrower to enable the Borrower to acquire, construct and install the project, and (iii)
enter into, and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Indenture and the Security
Agreement.

     (b) Pending Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings, inquiries or
investigations pending, or to the knowledge of the Issuer threatened, against or affecting
the Issuer in any court or before any governmental authority or arbitration board or
tribunal, which involve the possibility of materially and adversely affecting the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Indenture or which, in any way, would
adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Bonds, the Indenture, this Agreement,
the Security Agreement or any agreement or instrument to which the Issuer is a party and
which is used or contemplated for use in the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby.

     (c) Issue, Sale and Other Transactions Are Legal and Authorized. The issuance
and sale of the Bonds and the execution and delivery by the Issuer of this Agreement, the
Indenture and the Security Agreement, and the compliance by the Issuer with all the
provisions of each thereof and of the Bonds (i) are within the purposes, powers and
authority of the Issuer, (ii) have been done in full compliance with the provisions of the
Act, are legal and will not conflict with or constitute on the part of the Issuer a
violation of or a breach of or default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge
or encumbrance upon any property of the Issuer (other than as contemplated by this
Agreement, the Indenture and the Security Agreement) under the provisions of, any charter,
instrument, by-law, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note agreement or other agreement or
instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the Issuer is bound, or any license,
judgment, decree, law, statute, order, rule or regulation of any court of governmental
agency or body having jurisdiction over the Issuer or any of its activities or properties,
and (iii) have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Issuer.

-3-

 

activities or properties, nor any relationship between the Issuer and any other person, nor
any circumstance in connection with the offer, issue, sale or delivery of any of the Bonds
is such as to require the consent, approval or authorization of, or the filing, registration
or qualification with, any governmental authority on the part of the Issuer in connection
with the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Indenture and the
Security Agreement or the offer, issue, sale or delivery of the Bonds, other than those
already obtained.

     (e) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists with respect to
the Issuer which would constitute an “event of default” as defined in this Agreement, the
Indenture or the Security Agreement or which, with the lapse of time or with the giving of
notice or both, would become an “event of default” under this Agreement, the Indenture or
the Security Agreement. The Issuer is not in default under the Act or under any charter
instrument, by-law or other agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it is
bound.

     (f) No Prior Pledge. Neither this Agreement, the Security Agreement nor any of
the Pledged Revenues or the Trust Estate have been pledged or hypothecated in any manner or
for any purpose, other than as provided in the Indenture, Security Agreement and
Subordination Agreement, as security for the payment of the Bonds.

     (g) Nature and Location of Project. The financing of the Project is in
furtherance of the public purpose intended to be served by the Act. The Project will be
located entirely within the County.

     (h) No Liability of Issuer. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
nothing contained in this Agreement or in any other document that is a part of this
transaction, including, but not limited to, the Bond Resolution of the Issuer, the Security
Agreement, and/or the Indenture shall, in any manner whatsoever be deemed to constitute a

     (i) No Personal Liability. No stipulation, obligation or agreement herein
contained shall be deemed to be a stipulation, obligation or agreement of any officer,
commissioner, agent or employee of the Issuer in his individual capacity, and no such
officer, commissioner, agent or employee shall be personally liable on the Bonds or be
subject to personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance thereof.

company, and (ii) has all requisite power and authority and all necessary licenses and
permits to

own and operate its properties and to carry on its business as now being
conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted.

(b) Pending Litigation. There are no proceedings pending, or to the
knowledge of the Borrower threatened, against or affecting the Borrower in any court or
before any governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal which involve the
possibility of materially and adversely affecting the properties, business, prospects,
profits or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Borrower, or the ability of the
Borrower to perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Bond Placement Agreement, or
the Security Agreement. The Borrower is not in default with respect to an order of any
court, governmental authority or arbitration board or tribunal.

(c) Agreements Are Legal and Authorized. The execution and delivery by the Borrower
of this Agreement, the Bond Placement Agreement, and the Security Agreement and the
compliance by the Borrower with all of the provisions hereof and thereof (i) are within the
power of the Borrower, (ii) will not conflict with or result in any breach of any of the
provisions of, or constitute a default under, or result in the creation of any lien, charge
or encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances) upon any property of the Borrower under
the provisions of, any agreement, charter document, by-law or other instrument to which the
Borrower is a party or by which it may be bound, or any license, judgment, decree, law,
statute, order, rule or regulation of any court or governmental agency or body having
jurisdiction over the Borrower or any of its activities or properties, and (iii) have been
duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Borrower.

(d) Governmental Consent. Neither the Borrower nor any of its business or
properties, nor any relationship between the Borrower and any other person, nor any
circumstances in connection with the execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
this Agreement, the Bond Placement Agreement, and the Security Agreement or the offer,
issue, sale or delivery by the Issuer of the Bonds, is such as to require the consent,
approval or authorization of, or the filing, registration or qualification with, any
governmental authority on the part of the Borrower other than those already obtained.

(e) No Defaults. No event has occurred and no condition exists with respect to the
Borrower that to the Borrower’s knowledge would constitute an “event of default” under this
Agreement, the Indenture, the Bond Placement Agreement, the Security Agreement, or which,
with the lapse of time or with the giving of notice or both, would become an “event of
default” under this Agreement, the Indenture, the Security Agreement, or the Bond Placement
Agreement. The Borrower is not in violation in any material respect of any agreement, or
other instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound.

(f) Compliance with Laws. To the Borrower’s knowledge, the Borrower is not in
violation of any laws, ordinances, governmental rules or regulations to which it is subject
and has not failed to obtain any licenses, permits, franchises or other governmental
authorizations necessary to the ownership of its properties or to the conduct of its

-5-

 

business, which violation or failure to obtain might materially and adversely affect the
properties, business, prospects, profits or conditions (financial or otherwise) of the
Borrower.

(g) Restrictions on the Borrower. The Borrower is not a party to any contract or
agreement that materially and adversely affects the business of the Borrower. The Borrower
is not a party to any contract or agreement that restricts the right or ability of the
Borrower to incur or guarantee indebtedness for borrowed money.

(h) Inducement. The issuance of the Bonds by the Issuer and the lending of the
proceeds thereof to the Borrower to enable the Borrower to acquire and rehabilitate the
Project have induced the Borrower to locate the Project in the County, which will directly
result in an increase in employment opportunities in the County.

(i) Operation of Project. The Borrower intends to operate the Project from the
Completion Date to the expiration or sooner termination of this Agreement as provided herein
as a “project” within the meaning of the Act.

ARTICLE III.

construction of the Facility will be completed as promptly as practicable after receipt of the
proceeds from the sale of the Bonds, delays incident to strikes, riots, acts of God or the public
enemy or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Borrower only excepted, but if such
construction is not completed, there shall be no resulting liability on the part of the Issuer and

thereof, the Bonds, bearing interest and maturing as set forth in Article II of the Indenture, at a
price to be approved by the Borrower, and it will thereupon deposit the proceeds received from said
sale in the Project Fund.

the Project as it may desire provided that such changes shall not result in the Projects not being
a “project” within the meaning of the Act.

fees and expenses of their Counsel properly incurred under the Indenture that may become due
during the Construction Period; and payment into the Bond Fund of sufficient moneys to pay
interest on the Bonds accruing during the Construction Period;

     (g) payment of, or reimbursement of the Borrower and the Issuer for, any other legal

the preceding subsections of this Section then due and payable, shall at the direction of
the Borrower be (i) subject to Section 5.9(d), used to acquire, construct and install
additions, extensions and improvements to the Project in accordance with amended plans and
specifications therefor duly filed with the Issuer, (ii) used by the Trustee, to the maximum
extent practicable consistent with making partial redemptions in amounts of not less than
$100,000 or integral multiples thereof, for the redemption of Bonds at the earliest date
permitted by the Indenture or the purchase of Bonds for the purpose of cancellation at any
time prior to the earliest date permitted by the Indenture for the redemption of Bonds, or
(iii) paid into the Bond Fund to pay interest on the Bonds or into the Debt Service Reserve
Fund to replenish the balance thereof, or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) or (iii) as is
provided in such direction, provided that amounts approved by the Authorized Borrower
Representative shall be retained by the Trustee in the Project Fund for payment of costs not
then due and payable. Any balance remaining of such retained moneys after full payment of
all such Project costs shall be used by the Trustee as directed by the Borrower in the
manner specified in clauses (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) of this subsection.

     The payments specified in subsections (a) through (g) of this Section (other than payment of
interest on the Bonds accruing prior to the Completion Date) shall be made by the Trustee only upon
receipt of the following:

     (1) a written requisition for such payment in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A
respectively signed by the Authorized Borrower Representative and approved by the County
Representative certifying:

(i) that an obligation in the stated amount has been incurred in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds or the construction of the Facility;

(ii) that such obligation is a proper charge against the Project Fund and has not been the
basis of any previous withdrawal from the Project Fund, and specifying the purpose

-8-

 

and
circumstances of such obligation in reasonable detail and the name and address of the person
to whom such obligation is owed;

(iii) that (A) he has no notice of any vendors’, materialmen’s, mechanics’, suppliers’ or
other similar liens or right to liens, chattel mortgages or conditional sales contracts, or
other contracts or obligations which should be satisfied or discharged before payment of
such obligation is made, or (B) such requisition is for the purpose of obtaining funds to be
used to satisfy or discharge a lien or contract of the type described in (A) above;

(iv) that such requisition contains no request for payment on account of any portion of such
obligation which the Borrower is, as of the date of such requisition, entitled to retain
under any retained percentage agreements;

(v) that each and every representation of the Borrower set forth in this Agreement is true
and correct on and as of the date of such requisition;

     (vi) that no default or event of default has occurred and is then continuing; and

     (vii) the Project costs then incurred and the estimated costs of completing the Project
that the amount remaining in the Project Fund for disbursement, after giving effect to the
requested disbursement, will be sufficient to complete the Project or, if that is not the
case, stating that the Borrower has on hand or has the ability to obtain the additional
funds required to complete the Project.

     (2) with respect to any such requisition for payment for labor, services, material, supplies
or equipment, an additional certificate, signed by the Authorized Borrower Representative
certifying that insofar as such obligation was incurred for labor, services, material, supplies
and/or equipment in connection with the Construction of the Facility, such labor and/or services
were actually performed in a satisfactory manner and such material, supplies and/or equipment were
actually used in or about the Construction of the Facility or delivered (and remain) at the Project
Site for that purpose.

     In making any such payment from the Project Fund the Trustee may rely on any such requisitions
and any such certificates delivered to it pursuant to this Section and the Trustee shall be
relieved of all liability with respect to making such payments in accordance with any such
requisitions and such supporting certificate or certificates without inspection of the Project or
any other investigation. Disbursements from the Project Fund for deposit in the Bond Fund to pay
interest on the Bonds accruing during the Construction Period may be made by the Trustee at
the written request of the Borrower when interest is due on the Bonds without the necessity of
receiving any such written requisition or supporting certificates pertaining thereto.

     In addition to the other requirements for disbursements from the Project Fund, the following

to pay all that portion of the cost of the Project as may be in excess of the moneys available
therefor in the Project Fund. The Issuer does not make any warranty, either express or implied,

provisions of Section 304 of the Indenture, or by acceleration, or optional redemption), and
redemption premium (if any) and interest on, the Bonds due on such payment date. Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if on any such payment date, the balance in the Bond
Fund is insufficient to make the required payments of principal of, and redemption premium

deficiency.

(b) The Borrower further agrees that in the event payment of the principal of, and the
interest on, the Bonds is accelerated upon the occurrence of an event of default under the
Indenture, all amounts payable under Section 4.2(a) hereof for the remainder of the term

the Project Fund and the Bond Fund on such redemption date shall be used to pay the
principal of, the redemption premium (if any) and the interest on, the Bonds to be redeemed
and shall reduce the amounts to be then paid by the Borrower pursuant to Subsection (a)
above to effect such redemption.

(e) If the Borrower should fail to make any of the payments required in Subsection (a)
above, the item or installment which the Borrower has failed to make shall continue as an

agrees to pay the same with interest thereon at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds until
paid in full.

     Anything herein, in the Indenture or in the Bonds, to the contrary notwithstanding, the
obligations of the Borrower hereunder shall be subject to the limitation that payments constituting
interest under this Section shall not be required to the extent that the receipt of such
payment by the holder of any Bond would be contrary to the provisions of law applicable to such
holder which limit the maximum rate of interest which may be charged or collected by such holder.

     Section 4.3. Other Payments; Trustee’s Fees and Expenses . In addition to
payment of the amounts specified in Section 4.2(a) hereof, the Borrower agrees to pay to the

acting as paying agent and Bond Registrar as provided in the Indenture, as and when the same become
due, including the reasonable fees of Counsel, as and when the same become due; provided that no
such payments shall be due if such payments are attributed to or occasioned by errors or mistakes
committed by the Trustee or Trustee’s counsel in connection with its duties as

specifically set forth in the Indenture.

     If the Borrower should fail to make any of the payments required in this Section, the item or
installment which the Borrower has failed to make shall continue as an obligation of the Borrower
until the same shall have been fully paid, and the Borrower agrees to pay the same with interest
thereon at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds until paid in full.

obligations of the Borrower to make the payments required in Section 4.2 hereof and to perform and
observe the other agreements on its part contained herein shall be absolute and unconditional and
shall not be subject to diminution by set-off, counterclaim, abatement or otherwise. Until such
time as the principal of, and the interest on, the Bonds shall have been paid in full, the Borrower
(a) will not suspend or discontinue any payments provided for in Section 4.2 hereof except to the
extent the same have been prepaid, (b) will perform and observe all its other agreements contained
herein, and (c) except as provided in Sections 7.l and 7.2 hereof, will not terminate this
Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any acts or
circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, sale, loss, eviction or constructive
eviction, destruction of or damage to the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in
the tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State or any political subdivision
of either, or any failure of the Issuer to perform and observe any agreement, whether express or
implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or in connection herewith or with the
Indenture. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the
performance of any of the agreements on its part herein contained; and if the Issuer should fail to
perform any such agreement, the Borrower may institute such action against the Issuer as the
Borrower may deem necessary to compel performance or recover its damages for nonperformance so long
as such action shall not do violence to the agreements on the part of the Borrower contained in the
preceding sentence.

     Nothing contained herein shall be construed as a waiver of any rights which the Borrower may
have against the Issuer under this Agreement, or against any person under this Agreement, the
Indenture or otherwise, or under any provision of law.

reserving, however, its rights (a) pursuant to this Agreement and the Security Agreement providing
that notices, approvals, consents, requests and other communications be given to the Issuer, (b) to
reimbursement and payment of costs and expenses under Sections 5.2 and 6.4 hereof, and (c) to
indemnification and to exemption from liability, both individual and corporate, under Section 5.2

ARTICLE V.

PARTICULAR AGREEMENTS

     Section 5.1. Maintenance and Operation of Project; Taxes; No Operation of Project
by Issuer; Removal of Equipment . The Borrower will at its own expense, keep the Project in
good repair and operating condition (normal wear and tear excepted) and keep the Project free and
clear of all encumbrances, except Permitted Encumbrances. The Borrower may make any additions or
alterations to the Project which it may deem desirable for its efficient operation which will not
adversely affect the value or the revenue producing capability of the Project, provided that all
such additions and alterations are located wholly on the Project Site and comply in all material
respects with all federal, state, and local laws, statutes, ordinances, rules and regulations as
are applied to the Project. The Borrower further agrees that it will pay all taxes levied with
respect to the Project and the income therefrom. Particularly, the Borrower agrees to pay all ad
valorem taxes to the appropriate governmental bodies, and the Borrower agrees that it shall not
attempt to obtain any exemption from paying such taxes. If the Borrower determines that any items
of equipment included in the Project (the “Equipment”) have become inadequate, obsolete, worn out,
unsuitable, undesirable or unnecessary, the items may be removed from the Project provided the
Borrower (1) substitutes and installs other furnishing or equipment of equal or greater utility, or
(2) in lieu of
such substitution pays into the Bond Fund an amount equal to any proceeds realized from the sale or
scrapping of any such items or any amount equal to any credit received from trade-in for items not
to be installed in the Project, or (3) in the case of sale

-15-

 

of the Equipment to the Borrower or an
affiliate or other disposition, pays into the Bond Fund an amount equal to the greater of the
amounts and credits received or the fair market value of the items disposed of. The requirement to
pay to the Bond Fund is applicable only to the extent that the equipment to be sold or otherwise
disposed of in the aggregate has a value of $15,000 or more. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be deemed to authorize or require the Issuer to operate the Project or to conduct any
business enterprise therewith.

     Section 5.2. Indemnification of Issuer and Trustee .

     (a) Borrower agrees to and shall indemnify and save the Issuer and the Trustee harmless
against and from all claims by or on behalf of any person, firm or corporation arising from
the conduct or management of, or from any work or thing done on the Project and against and
from all claims arising from (i) any condition of or operation of the Project, (ii) any
breach or default on the part of Borrower in the performance of any of its obligations under
this Agreement, (iii) any act or negligence of Borrower or of any of its agents,
contractors, servants, employees or licensees, or (iv) any act or negligence of any assignee
or lessee of Borrower, or of any agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees of
any assignee or lessee of Borrower, provided however, this indemnity shall not apply to any
acts of gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Issuer or the Trustee. The Borrower
shall indemnify and save the Issuer and the Trustee harmless from and against all reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in or in connection with any such claim arising as aforesaid
from (i), (ii), (iii) or (iv) supra, or in connection with any action or proceeding
brought thereon, including reasonable attorneys’ fees actually incurred, and upon notice
from the Issuer, or the Trustee, Borrower shall defend them or either of them in any such
action or proceeding.

     (b) The Borrower agrees that it will indemnify and hold the Trustee harmless, pursuant
to Section 1015 of the Indenture, from any and all liability, cost, or expense, including
attorneys’ fees, incurred without gross negligence or bad faith in the course of the
Trustee’s duties, including any act, omission, delay, or refusal of the Trustee in reliance
upon any signature, certificate, order, demand, instruction, request, notice, or other
instrument or document believed by it to be valid, genuine and sufficient.

     (c) Notwithstanding the fact that it is the intention of the parties that the Issuer
shall not incur pecuniary liability by reason of the terms of this Agreement, or the
undertakings required of the Issuer hereunder, by reason of (i) the issuance of the Bonds;
(ii) the execution of the Indenture; (iii) the performance of any act required of it by this
Agreement or the Indenture; (iv) the performance of any act requested of it by the Borrower;
or (v) any other costs, fees, or expenses incurred by the Issuer with respect to the Project
or the financing thereof, including all claims, liabilities or losses arising in connection
with the violation of any statutes or regulations pertaining to the foregoing, nevertheless,
if the Issuer should incur any such pecuniary liability then in such event the
Borrower shall indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer against all claims by or on behalf of
any person, firm or corporation, arising out of the same, and all reasonable costs and
expenses incurred in connection with any such claim or in connection with any action or
proceeding brought thereon, and upon notice from the Issuer, the Borrower shall defend

-16-

 

the
Issuer in any such action or proceeding and pay the reasonable attorneys’ fees of the Issuer
actually incurred in defending any such action.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 5.3. Covenants Regarding Maintenance of Borrower’s Existence . The
Borrower covenants that so long as this Agreement is in effect, it will maintain its existence and
will not merge or consolidate with any other corporation or sell or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of its assets, provided that the Borrower may, subject to the approval of the
Issuer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, merge or consolidate with another
corporation or sell or otherwise transfer to another domestic partnership, corporation or other
business entity all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter dissolve,
provided any surviving, resulting or transferee entity (the “Surviving Entity”) (i) is authorized
to do business in the State of Georgia, (ii) is a domestic corporation, partnership, or other
entity, or, if a natural person, is a resident of the United States of America, (iii) assumes in
writing all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and Security Agreement, and
(iv) has net worth (after giving effect to such transaction) at least equal to that of the Borrower
immediately prior to such transaction.

monthly expenditure for operating expenses that exceeds the amount therefor set forth in such
Operating Budget by more than ten percent (10%).

          (b) The Borrower shall provide the Issuer (if requested by the Issuer), the Trustee and the
Bondholders with copies of the following items (each of which must show budgeted and actual results
for the relevant period, the year-to-date and the corresponding period and year-to-date for the
immediately preceding Fiscal Year):

deliver or cause to be delivered to the Issuer (if requested by the Issuer), the Trustee and the
Bondholders a certificate signed by the chief financial officer of the Borrower

-17-

 

that, to the best
knowledge of the signer, after a review of the provisions of the Agreement, no event has occurred
which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, would constitute an event of default
thereunder and a certificate signed by the accountant which audited such financial statements that
nothing came to the attention of such accountant during the course of such audit which caused such
accountant to believe any such event of default had occurred.

          (d) The Borrower shall also furnish to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders, upon
receipt thereof by the Borrower: (i) a copy of any letter or report with respect to the management

annual or interim audit of the Borrower’s accounts, and a copy of any written response of the
Borrower to any such letter or report, (ii) evidence of the continued licensure by the State of
Georgia and any other regulatory body, and (iii) a copy of all inspection reports by any agency of
the State of Georgia or any other regulatory body.

Facility.

          (f) The Borrower shall send a copy of any written opinion, report or certificate provided to

Bondholders.

          (g) The Borrower shall send to the Underwriter, to each holder of not less than $1,000,000 in

specified by the Borrower, on the earliest redemption date on which such redemption may be made
under such applicable provisions or upon the date set for the redemption by the Borrower pursuant

obligation hereunder, saving and excepting those that shall have theretofore vested and any right
of the Issuer or the Trustee to indemnification under Section 5.2 hereof, which right shall survive

Bond Counsel experienced and acceptable to the Issuer that such sale, lease, or assignment will not
adversely affect the excludability from gross income for Federal income taxation purposes of
interest on the Bonds. No assignment or lease or sale shall relieve the Borrower of primary
liability for payments due hereunder and of the performance of all other obligations required
hereunder.

from the Borrower for the restoration of the Project except as otherwise provided in Section 7.1(a)
hereof. All policies of insurance shall provide for payment to the Issuer, the Borrower, and the
Trustee as their respective interests may appear, and the policies required by (a), (c) and (f)

made, title to or temporary use of the Project is taken in any condemnation proceeding, the
proceeds of any condemnation award will be paid to the Trustee and applied, as directed by the
Borrower, to (a) the restoration of the Project, (b) the acquisition of a suitable replacement
which must be approved by the Issuer, or (c) redemption of all or a portion of the Bonds. If less
than all of the Bonds are redeemed, the Borrower must furnish a certificate of an independent
consulting architect (who must be approved by the Issuer) that the property taken was not
essential to the Borrower’s use and occupancy of the Project or that the Project has been restored
to a condition substantially equivalent to its condition prior to such taking or that a suitable
replacement has been found. Any condemnation award remaining after the costs of such restoration
or replacement will be paid into the Bond Fund and used to redeem

-20-

 

the Bonds. Any condemnation
awards paid to the Borrower for damage to or taking of its own property not subject to the lien of
the Indenture shall be retained by the Borrower.

     If title to or the temporary use of a “substantial portion of the Project” is taken in any
condemnation proceeding, defined as such taking which results, in the opinion of an independent
consulting architect, in the Borrower being thereby prevented from carrying on its normal
operations for a period of three consecutive months, the Borrower will have the option to prepay
the Bonds by paying to the Trustee an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds,
plus accrued interest to the prepayment date.

     Section 5.12. Inspections . The Borrower covenants that it shall permit the
Issuer, Trustee, Underwriter, or any Bondholder holding, or group of Bondholders holding in the
aggregate, twenty-five percent (25%) or more in principal amount of all outstanding Bonds, or any
authorized representative of the foregoing, to examine, visit, and inspect, at any reasonable time
during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice to the Borrower, the Facility and their
respective accounts, books and records, including their receipts, disbursements, contracts,
investments and any other matters relating thereto and to their financial standing, and to supply
such reports and information as the Issuer and the Trustee (provided the Trustee shall have no duty
so to inspect) shall reasonably request.

ARTICLE VI.

     Section 6.1. Events of Default Defined . The following shall be “events of
default” hereunder and the term “event of default” shall mean, whenever it is used herein, any one
or more of the following events:

     (a) failure by the Borrower to make any payment required to be made under Section
4.2(a) hereof within five (5) business days of when the same becomes due and payable,
provided that this event of default may be cured by either a draw from the Debt Service
Reserve Fund by the Trustee or a payment by the County to the Trustee under the County
Contract or any combination thereof, so long as such draw is made by, or such payment is
made to, the Trustee within ten (10) business days of when such payment
required to be made under Section 4.2(a) hereof became due and payable;

     (b) failure by the Borrower to observe and/or perform any agreement hereunder or under
the Security Agreement, other than as referred to in subsection (a) or (b) of this Section,
for a period of thirty (30) days after written notice, specifying such failure and
requesting that it be remedied, given to the Borrower by the Issuer or the Trustee;
provided, however, in the case of any such default which can be cured with due diligence but
not within such 30-day period, the Borrower’s failure to proceed promptly to cure such
default and thereafter prosecute the curing of such default with due diligence.

-21-

 

     (c) any representation by or on behalf of the Borrower contained in this Agreement or
in any instrument furnished in compliance with or in reference to this Agreement or the
Indenture proves false or misleading in any material respect as of the date of the making or
furnishing thereof;

(d) the operations of the Facility fail to generate ethanol sales of $1,000,000 or more for
any calendar month after September 30, 2008;

(e) the Facility closes or ceases to operate for more than thirty (30) consecutive days
after it has been placed in service, unless such closing or cessation of operations is
caused by an act of God, regulatory intervention or other cause outside the control of the
Borrower, in which case said thirty (30) consecutive days shall be tolled until such
involuntary closing or cessation has terminated;

(f) the Borrower defaults on any indebtedness in excess of $1,000,000, provided that in the
event that any such indebtedness is being contested in good faith and has not been
accelerated, such alleged indebtedness shall not constitute an Event of Default under this
Section 6.1(f) until there is a final determination that such amount is owed by the
Borrower;

(g) the Debt Service Reserve Fund is used to make all or any part of a debt service payment
on the Bonds and is not replenished in full within twelve (12) months, as set forth in
Section 606 of the Indenture;

     (h) the occurrence of an Act of Bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, insolvency
proceeding, or reorganization; and

     (i) an “event of default” occurs and is continuing under the Indenture.

     Section 6.2. Remedies . Whenever an event of default shall have happened and
be continuing, the Trustee, as the assignee and pledgee of the Issuer under the Indenture, may take
any one or more of the following remedial steps:

     (a) If the Trustee has accelerated payment of the Bonds under the Indenture, the
Trustee shall declare all payments required to be made under Section 4.2(a) hereof to
be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same shall become immediately due and payable;
provided, however, that upon the occurrence of an event of default described in Subsections
6.l(a) or (b) hereof, all payments required to be made under Section 4.2(a) hereof shall
become immediately due and payable without any further act or action on the part of any
person. If all payments required to be made under Section 4.2(a) hereof are accelerated,
the amount then due and payable by the Borrower as accelerated payments shall be the sum of
(i) the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, (ii) all interest on the Bonds
then due and to become due to maturity whether by acceleration or otherwise, and (iii) all
other amounts due and payable to the Bondholders and/or to the Trustee with respect to the
payment of the Bonds including reasonable Counsel fees.

-22-

 

     (b) Procedures pursuant to the terms of the Security Agreement and/or County Contract.

(c) The Trustee may take whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or
desirable to collect any sums then due and thereafter to become due hereunder or to enforce
performance and the observance of any agreement of the Borrower hereunder.

Any amounts collected pursuant to action taken under this Section shall be paid into the
appropriate account in the Bond Fund and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture
and after payment in full of the Bonds and the payment of any costs occasioned by an event of
default hereunder, any excess moneys in the Bond Fund shall be returned to the Borrower.

     Section 6.3. No Remedy Exclusive . No remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, but each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law, in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or
power accruing upon the occurrence of any event of default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right or power may be exercised from time
to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. The Trustee and the holders of the Bonds, subject
to the provisions of the Indenture, shall be entitled to the benefit of all agreements herein
contained.

     Section 6.4. Agreement to Pay Counsel Fees and Expenses . If there should
occur a default or an event of default hereunder and the Trustee or Issuer should employ Counsel or
incur other expenses for the collection of sums due hereunder or the enforcement of performance or
observance of any agreement on the part of the Borrower herein contained, the Borrower agrees that
it will on demand therefor pay to the Trustee and/or Issuer the reasonable fee of such Counsel
actually incurred and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by the Trustee and/or Issuer.

     If the Borrower should fail to make any payments required in this Section, such item shall
continue as an obligation of the Borrower until the same shall have been paid in full, and the
Borrower agrees to pay the same with interest thereon from the date such payment was due at the
rate per annum borne by the Bonds until paid in full.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

     Section 6.5. Waiver of Events of Default and Rescission of Acceleration . If,
in compliance with the requirements of Section 906 of the Indenture, the Trustee shall waive any
event of default as therein defined and its consequences or rescind any declaration of acceleration
of payments of the principal of and interest on the Bonds, such waiver shall also waive any event
of default hereunder and its consequences and such rescission of a declaration of acceleration of
the principal of and interest on the Bonds shall also rescind any declaration of any acceleration
of all payments required to be made under Section 4.2 hereof. In case of any

-23-

 

such waiver or
rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on account of any such event of default
shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every such case the
Issuer, the Borrower, the Trustee, and the holders of the Bonds shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, but no such waiver or rescission shall extend to any subsequent or
other event of default or impair any right consequent thereon.

ARTICLE VII.

PREPAYMENT UNDER AGREEMENT 

     Section 7.l. Option to Prepay Installment Amounts Under Agreement in Whole in
Certain Events . The Borrower shall have, and is hereby granted, the option to prepay at par
in whole the installment amounts required to be made under Section 4.2(a) hereof and to cancel or
terminate this Agreement if any of the following shall have occurred:

     (a) the Project shall have been damaged or destroyed to such an extent that, in the
judgment of the Borrower, (i) it cannot be reasonably restored within a period of three (3)
consecutive months to the condition thereof immediately preceding such damage or
destruction, (ii) the Borrower is thereby prevented from carrying on its normal operations
at the Project for a period of three (3) consecutive months, or (iii) to the extent that the
cost of restoration thereof would exceed the net proceeds of insurance required to be
carried thereto pursuant to Section 5.10 hereof.

     (b) title in and to, or the temporary use of, all or substantially all of the Project
shall have been taken under the exercise of the power of eminent domain by any governmental
authority, or person acting under governmental authority (including such a taking as, in the
judgment of the Borrower, results in the Borrower being prevented thereby from carrying on
its normal operations at the Project for a period of three (3) consecutive months).

     (c) as a result of any changes in the Constitution of the State of Georgia or the
Constitution of the United States of America or of legislative or administrative action
(whether state or federal), or by final decree, judgment, or order of any court or
administrative body (whether state or federal) entered after the contest thereof by the
Borrower in good faith, the Agreement shall become void or unenforceable or impossible of
performance.

     (d) legal curtailment of the Borrower’s use and occupancy of all or substantially all
of the Project for any reason other than that set forth in Subsection (b), which curtailment
shall, in the judgment of the Borrower, prevent the Borrower from carrying on its normal
operations at the Project for a period of three (3) consecutive months.

-24-

 

     (e) this Agreement is terminated prior to its expiration for any reason other than the
occurrence of an event of default.

     (f) the Borrower shall exercise its option to prepay pursuant to Section 305 of the
Indenture.

To exercise such option, the Borrower (i) shall, within ninety (90) days following the event giving
rise to the Borrower’s desire to exercise such option, deliver to the Issuer and the Trustee a
certificate, executed by an officer of the Borrower, stating (A) the event giving rise to the
exercise of such option, (B) that the Borrower has directed the Trustee to redeem all of the Bonds
in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (C) that the Borrower has discontinued, or at
the earliest practicable date will discontinue, its operation of the Project, and (D) the date upon
which such prepayment is to be made, which date shall not be less than forty-five (45) days nor
more than ninety (90) days from the date such notice is mailed; and (ii) shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the required notice of redemption price which shall
be paid to the Trustee by the Borrower upon its exercise of the option granted in this Section
shall be the sum of the following:

     (1) an amount of money which, when added to the amount then on deposit in the Bond
Fund, will be sufficient to pay and redeem all of the then outstanding Bonds on the earliest
applicable redemption date including, without limitation, principal plus accrued interest
thereon to said redemption date, plus

     (2) an amount of money equal to the Trustee’s and paying agents’ fees and expenses
under the Indenture accrued and to accrue until such final payment and redemption of the
Bonds.

     Section 7.2. Damage and Destruction .

     Pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof, unless the Borrower elects to exercise any option it may have
to prepay amounts payable under this Agreement, and if prior to full payment of the amounts payable
under this Agreement, or unless provision for payment thereof has been made, the Facility is
damaged or destroyed by fire or other casualty, all Net Proceeds, if in excess of
$5,000, will be paid to and held by the Trustee, whereupon (i) the Borrower will proceed promptly
to repair, rebuild, or restore the property damaged or destroyed to substantially the same
condition as existed prior to the event causing such damage or destruction and (ii) the Trustee
will apply so much as may be necessary of the Net Proceeds to the cost of repair, rebuilding and
restoration. If Net Proceeds are not sufficient to pay for such repair, rebuilding, or
restoration, the Borrower will nonetheless complete same. Any Net Proceeds remaining after payment
of all the costs of such repair, rebuilding or restoration will be paid into the Bond Fund and used
to redeem the Bonds.

     If substantially all of the Facility is damaged or destroyed, the Borrower will have the
option to prepay the Bonds by paying to the Trustee an amount equal to 100% of the principal amount
of the Bonds outstanding plus accrued interest to the redemption date, but with no premium. If the
Borrower exercises its option to prepay the Bonds, “damage or destruction of

-25-

 

substantially all of
the Project” is defined as such damage or destruction which prevents the Borrower from carrying on
its normal operations in the Facility for more than three consecutive months, or if the Facility
cannot be repaired, rebuilt or restored within three consecutive months or if the cost of repair,
rebuilding or restoration exceeds the Net Proceeds.
