or any Basic Document.

the Act.

      (b) Neither the sale of all or substantially all of the property or

Section 6.03.

      (c) The commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding by or against the Company, any Special Member or the Member

other enterprise, shall be indemnified by the Company to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended

belief that such Person has met the standard of conduct necessary for
indemnification under applicable law and a written undertaking by or on behalf
of such Person to repay all amounts so advanced if it shall ultimately be
determined that such Person is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company as

unlimited general obligation of the Person but need not be secured and shall be
accepted without reference to financial ability to make repayment.

to indemnify such Person against such liability under the provisions of this
Article VIII.

without limitation, attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement with respect to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,

            action of the Member, any Special Member or any Manager, officer,
            employee or agent in the official capacity of such Person or an
            action in another capacity while holding such position, except that
            indemnification, unless ordered by a court, may not be made to or on
            behalf of the Member, any Special Mem ber or any Manager if a final
            adjudication established that its acts or omis sions involved
            intentional misconduct, fraud or a knowing violation of the law and
            was material to the cause of action; and

      (b)   Continues for a person who has ceased to be the Member, a Special

Company of each Special Member pursuant to this Section, each person acting as
an Independent Manager pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall execute a counterpart
to the Agreement. Prior to its admission to the Company as Special Member, each
person acting as an Independent Manager pursuant to Section 5 hereof shall not

the Act.

      (b) Neither the sale of all or substantially all of the property or
business of the Company, nor the merger or consolidation of the Company into or

liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purpose of this
Section 7.

      (c) The commencement of a bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other
similar proceeding by or against the Company or the Member shall not result in

in the Company. The withdrawal or resignation of the Member or the dissolution
of the Member shall not, by itself, constitute a dissolution of the Company.

      (d) Upon the occurrence of any event that causes the last remaining member
of the Company to cease to be a member of the Company, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, the personal representative of such member is hereby
authorized to, and shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of the event that
terminated the continued membership of such member in the Company, agree in
writing (i) to continue the Company and (ii) to the admission of the personal
representative or its nominee or designee, as the case may be, as a substitute
member of the Company, effective as of the occurrence of the event that
terminated the continued member ship of the last remaining member of the Company
in the Company.

      (e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Certificate of Formation
or of the Agreement, the bankruptcy of the Member or any Special Member shall
not cause the Member or Special Member, respectively, to cease to be a member of
the Company, and upon the occurrence of such an event the business of the
Company shall continue without dissolution.

      SECTION 8. No Bankruptcy Petition; No Dissolution.

      (a) The Member hereby covenants and agrees that it shall not, prior to the

enhancers, and any amounts owed under any Hedge

Agreement or Interest Rate Swap Agreement, acquiesce, petition or otherwise
invoke or cause the Issuer to invoke the process of any court or government
authority for the purpose of com mencing or sustaining a case against the Issuer
under any federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other
similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of its property, or
ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Issuer, provided,
however, that nothing in this Section 8 shall constitute a waiver of any right
to indemnification, reimbursement or other payment from the Company pursuant to
the Agreement.

      (b) To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Member and each Manager
and Special Member hereby covenants and agrees (or shall be deemed to have
hereby covenanted and agreed) that, until all of the Bonds and all amounts owed
under the Indenture have been paid in full, the Member and such Manager will not
consent to, or make application for, or institute or maintain any action for,
the dissolution of the Company under Section 18-801 or 18-802 of the Act or
otherwise.

      (c) In the event that the Member, any Special Member or any Manager takes
action in violation of this Section 8, the Company shall file an answer with the
court or otherwise properly contest the taking of such action and raise the
defense that the Member, the Manager or the Special Member, as the case may be,
has agreed in writing not to take such action and should be estopped and
precluded therefrom and such other defenses, if any, as its counsel advises that
it may assert.

      (d) The provisions of this Section 8 shall survive the termination of the
Agreement and the resignation, withdrawal or removal of the Member or any
Manager or the Special Member.

      SECTION 9. Conflict. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between
the provisions of this Certificate of Formation and of the Agreement, the
provisions of this Certificate of Formation shall govern.
