Maturity Date

The aggregate of the Loan Payments specified in Section 4.01 of the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, which is to be deposited in the Loan Payment Account in the Bond Fund on each Loan Payment Date, as defined in the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, shall include amounts sufficient to redeem the principal amount of Series 2008 Bonds set forth opposite the respective dates in the applicable tables above (less the amount of any credit as provided below).

Whenever Series 2008 Bonds that are Series 2008 Term Bonds are redeemed pursuant to subsection (d) below, there shall be credited by the Trustee, subject to the requirement that no Series 2008 Bonds may be in a denomination less than $100,000, towards the amount of each annual mandatory sinking fund requirement (“Sinking Fund Amount”) to become due on such Series 2008 Term Bond after such redemption, an amount, in so far as practicable, bearing the same ratio to each annual Sinking Fund Amount as the total principal amount of such Series 2008 Term Bonds so redeemed bears to the total principal amount of such Series 2008 Term Bonds Outstanding before such redemption (after the deduction of any such amounts previously credited toward the same or the original amount of any such Sinking Fund Amount if no such amount shall have been credited toward the same). After giving effect to all such credits, the Trustee shall advise the Company of the unsatisfied balance of Sinking Fund Amount for each future December 1.

The Issuer at the request of the Company, or the Company on behalf of the Issuer, shall have the option to deliver to the Registrar for cancellation Series 2008 Bonds that are Series 2008 Term Bonds, in any aggregate principal amount and to receive a credit against the then current mandatory sinking fund requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation) of the Issuer as set forth in the applicable table above for such Series 2008 Term Bonds. That option shall be exercised by the Issuer at the request of the Company, or the Company on behalf of the Issuer, if at all, on or before the 45th day preceding the applicable mandatory redemption date, by furnishing the Trustee a certificate, executed by the Authorized Official or the Authorized Company Representative, as the case may be, setting forth the extent of the credit to be applied with respect to the then current mandatory sinking fund requirement. If the certificate is not timely furnished to the Trustee, the mandatory sinking fund requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation) shall not be reduced. A credit against the then current mandatory sinking fund requirement (and corresponding mandatory redemption obligation) also shall be received by the Issuer for any Series 2008 Bond that is a Series 2008 Term Bond, which prior thereto have been redeemed (other than through the operation of the mandatory sinking fund requirements) or purchased for cancellation and canceled by the Trustee, to the extent not applied theretofore as a credit against any redemption obligation.

 

7


Each Series 2008 Bond so delivered, or previously redeemed, or purchased and canceled, shall be credited by the Trustee at 100 percent of the principal amount thereof against the then current mandatory sinking fund obligation relating thereto. Any excess of that amount over the then current mandatory sinking fund requirement shall be credited against subsequent mandatory sinking fund redemption obligations in the order directed by the Company.

(b)        Extraordinary Optional Redemption.        The Series 2008 Bonds are also subject to redemption by the Issuer in the event of the exercise by the Company of its option to direct redemption upon occurrence of any of the events described in Section 6.2 of the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, (i) at any time in whole, or (ii) on any Interest Payment Date in inverse order of maturity, in part, as provided in Section 6.2 of the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

(c)        Mandatory Redemption upon a Determination of Taxability.        Upon the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability for any reason, the Series 2008 Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in whole by the Issuer from the proceeds of the Company paying advance Loan Payments pursuant to Sections 4.1 and 6.3 of the Series 2006 Loan Agreement at a redemption price equal to 103 percent (103%) of the outstanding principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, at the earliest practicable date selected by the Trustee, after consultation with the Company, but in no event later than 180 days following the Trustee’s notification of the Determination of Taxability.

Promptly following its receipt of notice of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Trustee shall notify the Company and the Issuer of the Company’s obligations under the Agreement and as to the existence of said event and shall demand payment of the additional amount with respect to such event. Upon receipt by the Trustee from the Company or the Issuer of such additional amount, the Trustee shall pay such additional amount to the former Holders entitled thereto by check or draft mailed to those Holders at their addresses as they last appeared on the Register.

The Company’s obligations to make payments under the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement to provide funds therefor to the Trustee for the account of the Issuer shall survive the discharge and satisfaction of this Second Supplemental Indenture and the expiration, termination, discharge or satisfaction of the Series 2006 Loan Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to Loan Agreement. The duties of the Trustee under this Subsection (and all powers provided for herein which are necessary to carry out the intention of this Subsection) shall survive the discharge and satisfaction of this Second Supplemental Indenture, and the Company shall be obligated to pay to the Trustee, on behalf of the Issuer, the reasonable fees and actual expenses of the Trustee with respect to the performance of such duties. Following the discharge and satisfaction of this Second Supplemental Indenture and prior to the expiration of a 365 day-period, any former Holder (to the extent adversely affected by the Determination of Taxability) shall be entitled to enforce its rights under this Subsection directly against the Company and the Issuer if the Trustee fails to perform the duties described in this Second Supplemental Indenture, provided that recovery may

 

8


be had against the Issuer only out of the sources specified in the Series 2008 Bonds and this Second Supplemental Indenture.

All of the Series 2008 Bonds outstanding on the redemption date selected shall be redeemed by the Issuer on that date, except that Series 2008 Bonds maturing prior to that date, but after selection of the redemption date, shall be retired on their maturity date at the same price as if they had been called for redemption on the redemption date, and Series 2008 Bonds for the payment or redemption of which sufficient moneys or investments are held by the Trustee as provided in Section 9.02 of the Series 2006 Indenture, shall be redeemed on the redemption date, or paid at earlier maturity, in accordance with this paragraph and not otherwise.

(d)        Optional Redemption.        The Series 2008 Bonds maturing on December 1, 2018 are not subject to optional redemption prior to their stated maturity. Unless previously redeemed, the Series 2008 Bonds maturing on December 1, 2038 are subject to redemption at the option of the Issuer, upon the direction of the Company in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date on or after December 1, 2018 (from funds other than those deposited in accordance with the mandatory sinking fund requirements of Section 2.02(a) hereof), at redemption price equal to the principal amount redeemed, plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

Section 2.03.    Partial Redemption.        (a) If fewer than all of the Series 2008 Bonds of a single maturity are to be redeemed, the selection of Series 2008 Bonds to be redeemed, or portions thereof in amounts of $100,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000 shall be made by lot by the Trustee in any manner which the Trustee may determine.

In the case of a partial redemption of Series 2008 Bonds when Series 2008 Bonds of denominations greater than $100,000 are then outstanding, each $5,000 unit of face value of principal thereof shall be treated as though it were a separate Series 2008 Bond of the denomination of $5,000.

(b)        If it is determined that less than all of the principal amount of a Series 2008 Bond is to be called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption, the Holder of that Series 2008 Bond shall surrender the Series 2008 Bond to the Trustee (a) for payment of the redemption price of the portion of the Series 2008 Bond in $5,000 multiples called for redemption (including without limitation, the interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and any premium), and (b) for issuance, without charge to the Holder thereof, of a new Series 2008 Bond or Series 2008 Bonds of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date as, the Series 2008 Bond surrendered.

Section 2.04.    Election to Redeem.        Except in the case of redemption pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund requirements or pursuant to other mandatory redemption provisions, Series 2008 Bonds shall be redeemed only by written notice from the Issuer to the Trustee, given at the direction of the Company, or by written notice from the Company to the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer. That notice shall specify the redemption date and the principal amount of each maturity of Series 2008 Bonds to be redeemed, and shall be given at least 45 days prior to the

redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event that notice of redemption shall have been given by the Trustee to the Holders as provided in Section 2.05 hereof, there shall be deposited with the Trustee prior to the redemption date, funds which, in addition to any other moneys available therefor and held by the Trustee, will be sufficient to redeem at the redemption price thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, all of the redeemable Series 2008 Bonds for which notice of redemption has been given.

Section 2.05.    Notice of Redemption.        The notice of the call for redemption of Series 2008 Bonds shall identify (i) by designation, letters, numbers or other distinguishing marks, the Series 2008 Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, (ii) the redemption price to be paid, (iii) the date fixed for redemption, and (iv) the place or places where the amounts due upon redemption are payable.

The notice shall be given by the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to the Holder of each Series 2008 Bond subject to redemption in whole or in part at the Holder’s address shown on the Register on the fifteenth day preceding that mailing. Failure to receive notice so mailed or any defect in that notice regarding any Series 2008 Bond, however, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any series 2008 Bond. Any notice of redemption may state conditions to such redemption not inconsistent with the Series 2006 Indenture.

Section 2.06.    Payment of Redeemed Bonds.        Notice having been mailed in the manner provided in Section 2.05 of the Series 2006 Indenture, the Series 2008 Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall become due and payable on the redemption date, and upon presentation and surrender thereof at the place or places specified in that notice, shall be paid at the redemption price, plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

If money for the redemption of all of the Series 2008 Bonds and portions thereof to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the redemption date, is held by the Trustee on the redemption date, so as to be available therefor on that date and if notice of redemption has been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, then from and after the redemption date those Series 2008 Bonds and portions thereof called for redemption shall cease to bear interest and no longer shall be considered to be outstanding hereunder. If those moneys shall not be so available on the redemption date, or that notice shall not have been deposited in the mail as aforesaid, those Series 2008 Bonds and portions thereof shall continue to bear interest, until they are paid, at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption.

All moneys deposited in the Bond Fund and held by the Trustee for the redemption of particular Bonds shall be held in trust for the account of the Holders thereof and shall be paid to them, respectively, upon presentation and surrender of those Bonds.

Section 2.07.    Delivery of Moneys for Optional Redemption.        Nothing herein or in the Series 2006 Loan Agreement is intended to prevent the Company from delivering moneys to the Trustee for the purchase or redemption of Series 2008 Bonds in accordance herewith.

Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04 hereof, if the Trustee is provided at any time with moneys (i) which are sufficient, together with moneys, including without limitation, investments, then in the Bond Fund, Bond Reserve Fund and Project Fund to redeem a principal amount of Outstanding Series 2008 Bonds which will be subject to redemption on the next available date on which Series 2008 Bonds may be redeemed; and (ii) which in the aggregate, together with those other moneys, are not less than $100,000, then the Trustee upon the written request of the Authorized Company Representative shall make available from such Funds the amount required to accomplish the redemption, together with the other moneys provided, so long as the balance remaining thereafter in each Fund, and each Account therein, is not reduced thereby below the amount which would be required hereby to be on deposit therein on the redemption date with respect to the Series 2008 Bonds which will not be redeemed.

Section 2.08. Variation of Redemption Provisions.        The provisions of this Article II, insofar as they apply to any series of Additional Bonds, may be varied by the Supplemental Indenture providing for that series, subject to the requirements of Section 8.03(b) of the Series 2006 Indenture if any such amendment creates a priority of any one Series 2008 Bond over another Series 2008 Bond for purposes of a redemption pursuant to Section 2.02(d) hereof.

Section 2.09. Initial Delivery of the Series 2008 Bonds; Deposit of Proceeds.        (a) Upon the execution and delivery of this Second Supplemental Indenture and satisfaction of the conditions established by the Issuer and in the Purchase Contract for delivery of the Series 2008 Bonds, the Issuer shall execute (but need not prepare) the Series 2008 Bonds in typewritten form and deliver them to the Trustee.
