The Senior Secured Notes are subject to prepayment as provided in Article 7 hereof. (c) The Borrower shall make all payments with respect to the Senior Secured Notes to the Indenture Trustee as provided in Schedule B hereto. The principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each Senior Secured Note shall be payable by the Indenture Trustee to the holder of such Senior Secured Note at the Indenture Trustee's Office in lawful money of the United States of America, against presentation of such Senior Secured Note for notation of the payment or prepayment made thereon or, in the case of a payment or prepayment which shall discharge all Indebtedness of the Borrower evidenced thereby, against surrender or assignment thereof. (d) Notwithstanding the provision of Section 2.2(c) or any provision in the Senior Secured Notes to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall, if so requested by a Noteholder by written notice, pay all amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder to such Noteholder or a nominee therefor (i) by crediting, in immediately available funds, the amount to be distributed to such Noteholder to an account maintained by such Noteholder with the Indenture Trustee, (ii) by mailing a check payable in immediately available funds to such Noteholder at such address as Noteholder shall have specified in such notice, or (iii) by wire transfer or other transfer in immediately available funds to such bank (for the account of Noteholder) as may be specified in such notice (which shall include the name of the bank, which shall be in the continental United States of America, such bank's address, ABA routing number and the name and telephone number of a contact person at such bank and shall acknowledge that a transfer fee is payable), in any case without any presentment or surrender of any Senior Secured Note; provided, however, that each Noteholder, by its acceptance of the Senior Secured Notes, agrees that (A) any Senior Secured Note paid or prepaid in full, upon the written request of the Borrower, shall be surrendered within thirty days after the receipt of such request to the Indenture Trustee (provided that the Indenture Trustee shall give each Noteholder a 30-day advance notice with respect to such surrender) for cancellation or assigned to such Person as the Borrower shall designate (without recourse to the assignor) concurrent with the making of the final payment of all amounts owing in respect of such Senior Secured Note on account of such Senior Secured Note, and - 6 - (B) such Noteholder shall not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of such Senior Secured Note other than as provided in Section 2.6 hereof. Until the Indenture Trustee has been notified of a different payee or payment instructions with respect to any Purchaser, all payments to such Purchaser with respect to its Senior Secured Notes shall be made by the Indenture Trustee in the manner provided in Schedule A to the Note Purchase Agreements. (e) If the scheduled date for any payment of interest on or principal of any Senior Secured Note shall not be a Business Day, then such payment need not be made on such scheduled date but may be made on the next following Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on such scheduled date. (f) Subject to the release provisions contained in Section 5.4, all Outstanding Original Notes (and to the extent provided in Section 2.l(d), Expansion Notes) shall be equally and ratably secured by a first priority Lien on the Collateral, without preference, priority or distinction on account of the date or dates or the actual time or times of the issue of such Original Notes (and to the extent provided in Section 2.1(d), Expansion Notes), so that all Outstanding Original Notes (and to the extent provided in Section 2.l(d), Expansion Notes) shall have the same right, Lien and preference under and by virtue of the Security Documents and in respect of the Collateral. (g) All Outstanding Original Notes (and to the extent provided in Section 2.l(d), Expansion Notes) shall also have the benefit, equally and ratably, of guarantees by and undertakings of (i) the Guarantor to the extent provided in the Guarantee, (ii) the Construction Agent, to the extent provided in Article VIII of the Facility Agency Agreement and (iii) the Insurer to the extent provided in (x) the Residual Value Policy and (y) the Construction Termination Policy. SECTION 2.3. THE REGISTER. The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Indenture Trustee's Office (i) one or more books (the "REGISTER") for the registration of the Senior Secured Notes (including all transfers) and the name and address of the holders of the Senior Secured Notes. SECTION 2.4. REGISTRATION OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES; EXECUTION OF SENIOR SECURED NOTES. All Senior Secured Notes shall be registered as to principal amount and interest and may be issued in denominations of $100,000 or any multiple in excess thereof (except one Senior Secured Note of each Series may be issued to a Noteholder in a lesser denomination). The Senior Secured Notes shall be signed on behalf of the Borrower by one of its Responsible Officers. SECTION 2.5. CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION. No Senior Secured Note shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be binding upon the Borrower, or be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and the benefits and security of the Security Documents, unless and until it has been authenticated by the Indenture Trustee's execution of the certificate of authentication thereon in the form set forth as Exhibit B. The authentication and delivery by the Indenture Trustee of any Senior Secured Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Senior Secured Note - 7 - has been duly issued and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and the benefits and security of the Security Documents, as herein provided. SECTION 2.6. TRANSFERS AND EXCHANGES. (a) The Senior Secured Notes shall be transferred or exchanged only on the Register. Any Senior Secured Note of any Series may, upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee at the Indenture Trustee's Office, be transferred or exchanged for one or more new Senior Secured Notes of the same Series in proper denominations as requested by a Noteholder, which new Senior Secured Notes of such Series shall be in an aggregate principal amount the same as the original principal amount of the Senior Secured Note of such Series so surrendered; provided, however, that in the case of a transfer to a third party, the Senior Secured Note to be transferred shall be accompanied by an instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Borrower and the Indenture Trustee; and provided, further, that in the case of a requested exchange or transfer of a lost, destroyed or stolen Senior Secured Note, a Noteholder shall not be required to surrender such Senior Secured Note, but shall furnish to the Borrower and the Indenture Trustee such security (which, if the Noteholder shall be an Institutional Investor, shall consist only of an agreement to indemnify the Borrower and the Indenture Trustee against loss or liability in connection with the issuance of Senior Secured Notes) and such evidence of loss, destruction, theft and ownership as they may reasonably require. The Borrower shall thereupon execute, and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, within five Business Days, a new Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes in the requested denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate original principal amount of the same Series as the surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes, and registered in the requested names. The Indenture Trustee shall not be required to transfer any Senior Secured Note on the Register within fifteen (15) days immediately preceding any Payment Date or the giving of any notice of prepayment. (b) The Indenture Trustee shall mark on each new Senior Secured Note (i) the principal amount of such new Senior Secured Note, (ii) the date to which interest has been paid on the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed and (iii) the amount of all payments and prepayments of principal previously made on the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed that are allocable to such new Senior Secured Note. Each payment of interest and principal and any other amounts payable on such new Senior Secured Note shall bear the same proportion to the corresponding payment of interest and principal and any other amounts on the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed as the principal amount of such new Senior Secured Note bears to the principal amount of the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed. Interest shall be deemed to have been paid or accrued, as the case may be, on such new Senior Secured Note to the date to which interest shall have been paid or shall have accrued, as the case may be, on the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed, and all payments and prepayments of principal marked on such new Senior Secured Note shall be deemed to have been made thereon. Such new Senior Secured Note shall be dated the date of the Senior Secured Note or Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or transfer of Senior Secured Notes, but the Indenture Trustee may require payment by the Noteholder requesting such exchange or transfer of a sum to cover any Tax or governmental - 8 - charge that may be imposed with respect thereto and the Indenture Trustee's reasonable fees with respect to issuing a replacement Senior Secured Note for any lost, stolen or destroyed Senior Secured Note. All Senior Secured Notes issued in exchange or substitution or replacement for Senior Secured Notes so surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed shall be valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same Indebtedness (and of the same Series) as the Senior Secured Notes surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed and shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and the benefits and security of the Security Documents, as the Senior Secured Notes surrendered, lost, stolen or destroyed. (c) The Borrower agrees to furnish with reasonable promptness, upon the request of any Noteholder which is an Institutional Investor, such information as is specified in paragraph (d)(4) of Rule 144A under the Securities Act (or any successor provision) to such Institutional Investor or to a prospective transferee of Senior Secured Notes, provided that such Institutional Investor informs the Borrower that it reasonably believes such transferee is a qualified institutional buyer within the meaning of Rule 144A, in order to permit compliance by such Institutional Investor with Rule 144A in connection with the transfer of such Senior Secured Note. (d) In the event that any Noteholder fails to provide a correct tax identification number to the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee may make a charge against such Noteholder sufficient to pay any governmental charges as the result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Code, this amount may be deducted by the Indenture Trustee from amounts payable to such Noteholder under this Indenture or the Senior Secured Notes. SECTION 2.7. INDENTURE TRUSTEE AS AGENT. The Indenture Trustee is hereby appointed the agent of the Borrower for the payment of the Senior Secured Notes, and for registration, transfer and exchange of the Senior Secured Notes. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.2(d), Senior Secured Notes may be presented for payment at or sent to the Indenture Trustee's Office. SECTION 2.8. REGISTERED OWNER. The Borrower and the Indenture Trustee shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any Senior Secured Note shall be registered as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not such Senior Secured Note shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Senior Secured Note and for all other purposes, and neither the Borrower nor the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

ARTICLE 3 REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE BORROWER The Borrower hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders, as follows: SECTION 3.1. PERFORMANCE BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE. If an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, without notice to the Borrower, may (but shall not be obligated to) make any payment or perform (or cause to be performed) any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the other Operative Agreements, in any form and manner deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee, and any amount so paid or incurred (plus reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee for its out-of-pocket and other expenses for each matter for which it acts under the Indenture or under the Security Documents), with interest thereon at the Overdue Rate, will be added to the Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes and will be paid to the Indenture Trustee upon demand. Before taking such action the Indenture Trustee will first give at least ten (10) Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower, unless (a) such obligation involves a failure to maintain required insurance or (b) in the good faith judgment of the Indenture Trustee, immediate action is required in order to protect the Facility or the Collateral from loss or damage, or to remedy any imminent danger to the health, safety or property of any Person, or to avoid any imminent risk of criminal or material civil liability, in which cases no prior notice will be required. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee may, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default, do all or any of the following: (i) make payments of principal or interest or other amounts on any Lien, encumbrance or charge on the Facility or any of the Collateral; (ii) make repairs; (iii) collect rents and give acquittances; (iv) prosecute collection of the Collateral or proceeds thereof; (v) purchase, discharge, compromise or settle any tax Lien or any other lien, encumbrance, suit, proceeding, title or claim thereof; (vi) contest or settle any tax or assessment; (vii) redeem from any tax sale or forfeiture affecting the Facility; and (viii) perform any obligation under the Bond Lease, the Bond Sublease, the Lease the Bond Indenture or any other Operative Agreement. In making any payment or securing any performance relating to any obligation of the Borrower hereunder or under the Security Documents, the Indenture Trustee will be the sole judge of the legality, validity and amount of any Lien or encumbrance and of all other matters necessary to be determined in satisfaction thereof. No such action of the Indenture Trustee may be considered as a waiver of any right upon an Indenture Event of Default. - 10 - SECTION 3.2. SUBROGATION. To the extent that the Indenture Trustee pays any sum under any provision of law or any instrument or document creating any Lien or other interest prior or superior to the Lien of any of the Security Documents and has the right to do so hereunder or under the Security Documents, or the Borrower or any other Person pays any such sum with the proceeds of the Senior Secured Notes secured thereby, then, to the extent permitted by law, the Indenture Trustee will have and be entitled to a Lien or other interest on the Collateral equal in priority to the Lien or other interest discharged and the Indenture Trustee will be subrogated to, and receive and enjoy all rights and Liens possessed, held or enjoyed by, the holder of such Lien, which will remain in existence and benefit the Indenture Trustee, with priority over the Senior Secured Notes. SECTION 3.3. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; BOOKS AND RECORDS; INSPECTIONS. (a) The Borrower shall deliver to each Noteholder: (i) Notice of Event of Default -- promptly, and in any event within five days after the Borrower becomes aware of the existence of any Event of Default or that any Person has given any notice or taken any action with respect to a claimed default hereunder, a written notice specifying the nature and period of existence thereof and what action the Borrower is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto; (ii) Litigation -- promptly, and in any event within five days after the Borrower becomes aware of any litigation, investigation or proceeding of or before any arbitrator or Governmental Authority is pending or threatened by or against the Borrower, a written notice setting forth the nature thereof and the action, if any, that the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto; (iii) Notices from Governmental Authority -- promptly, and in any event within five days of receipt thereof, copies of any notice to the Borrower from any federal or state Governmental Authority relating to any order, ruling, statute or other law or regulation which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to (x) have a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, operations, business, prospects or financial condition of the Borrower or on the Facility, (y) a material impairment of the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement or (z) a material impairment of the rights of or benefits available to the Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement; (iv) Material Adverse Effect - promptly, and in any event within five days after the Borrower receives written notice of any event or condition which, individually or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to (x) have a material adverse effect on the assets, liabilities, operations, business, prospects or financial condition of the Borrower or on the Facility, (y) a material impairment of the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations under this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement or (z) a material impairment of the rights of or benefits available to the Noteholders under this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement, a written notice - 11 - setting forth the nature thereof and the action, if any, that the Borrower proposes to take with respect thereto; and (v) Requested Information -- with reasonable promptness, such other data and information relating to the business, operations, affairs, financial condition, assets or properties of the Borrower or relating to the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations hereunder and under the Senior Secured Notes as from time to time may be reasonably requested by any such Noteholder. (b) The Borrower will keep adequate records and books of account reflecting all its financial transactions. (c) During business hours and as often as the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder may reasonably request upon at least three (3) Business Days' notice (except that in the case of an Indenture Event of Default, no prior notice need be given), the Borrower shall allow the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder (or such Persons as the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder may designate), at the Indenture Trustee's or such Noteholder's expense, as the case may be (except that in the case of an Indenture Event Default, any such inspection shall be made at the expense of the Borrower), to visit and inspect the Facility (subject to the provisions of the Lease) and to examine the records and books of account of the Borrower, wherever such records and books of account are located, and to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower with its officers and accountants (and by this provision, the Borrower authorizes such accountants to discuss the affairs, finances and accounts of the Borrower). Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any of the Noteholders will have any duty to make any such inspection, and the Borrower agrees that whether or not the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder makes any such inspection will not limit any of the Indenture Trustee's or such Noteholder's rights or remedies, or the Borrower's obligations, hereunder or under the Security Documents. SECTION 3.4. FURTHER ASSURANCES; RECORDING. (a) The Borrower will, at its expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered all such further acts, instruments and assurances reasonably required by the Indenture Trustee for the better granting to the Indenture Trustee of the Borrower's interest in the Collateral granted or intended to be granted by the Security Documents or for carrying out the intention of, or facilitating the performance of, this Indenture. (b) The Borrower will upon the execution and delivery hereof and thereafter from time to time, cause the Security Documents to be duly filed, registered and recorded, and will comply with all applicable statutes and regulations, as may be required by law to establish and maintain the Lien of the Security Documents as a valid first Lien of record on and a valid first perfected security interest in the Collateral, subject to Permitted Liens, and to establish, perfect, preserve and protect the rights of the parties thereto and their respective successors and assigns. The Borrower will, from time to time, perform or cause to be performed any other act as required by law, and will execute or cause to be executed any and all further instruments (including financing statements, continuation statements and similar statements with respect to any of said documents) reasonably requested by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, for such purposes. If the - 12 - Borrower shall fail to comply with this Section 3.4, the Indenture Trustee will be and is hereby irrevocably appointed the agent and attorney-in-fact of the Borrower, with full power of substitution in the Borrower's name and on its behalf, to comply therewith (including the execution, delivery and filing of such financing statements, continuation statements and other instruments), but the Indenture Trustee's actions as such will not be deemed to prevent, or to have cured, any default under this Section 3.4. The Borrower will pay, or will cause the Lessee to pay, all recording taxes and fees incident to or in connection with the preparation, execution, delivery or acknowledgment of the Security Documents, any instruments of further assurance and the Senior Secured Notes. SECTION 3.5 PAYMENT OF OBLIGATIONS; RENT. (a) The Borrower will pay and perform, timely and in the manner required in the appropriate documents or instruments, all obligations in respect of the Senior Secured Notes. The Borrower will not claim any credit on, or make any deduction from interest, principal or Make Whole Premium, if any, payable on the Senior Secured Notes by reason of payment of any Rent or other amount payable with respect to, or levied or assessed or to be levied or assessed on, the Collateral or any part thereof or the Borrower's interest therein. The Borrower's payment obligations under this Indenture are independent of any obligations under any of the other Operative Agreements and may be satisfied only upon payment in full of all amounts due and payable under the Senior Secured Notes and this Indenture. (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section 3.5(c), the Borrower will pay (i) all taxes, levies, impositions and other charges imposed on, assessed, or levied upon the Borrower, and (ii) all income, excess profits, sales, gross receipts and other taxes, duties or imposts, whether similar or not in nature, assessed, levied or imposed by any Governmental Authority on the Borrower. Nothing in this Section 3.5 will require the payment by the Borrower of any net income or franchise or similar tax of the Noteholders or the Lessee. (c) The Borrower may, at its own expense, contest or cause to be contested (in the case of any item involving more than $100,000, after prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders) by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, the existence, amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any item specified in Section 3.5(b) or Lien therefor; provided that such contest will not (i) operate to suspend during the pendency thereof the collection of, or other realization upon, any Rent or other amount derived from, or payable with respect to, (A) the Facility or (B) any interest in the Facility and the other properties and rights included in the Collateral, or (ii) (v) subject the Rent under the Lease or any other part of the Collateral to loss, forfeiture or sale, (w) adversely affect the Lien of the Security Documents or any part of the Collateral, (x) interfere with the possession, use or occupancy of the Facility, (y) interfere with the due payment of any amount payable hereunder or under the Senior Secured Notes, or (z) subject the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders to the risk of any civil or criminal liability. SECTION 3.6. TRANSFER TAXES; FILINGS; LIEN TAXES. (a) To the extent the laws of any state within which any portion of the Collateral is located require a transferee of real property or an interest therein to withhold from the transferor and remit to the taxing authorities of such state - 13 - any portion of the consideration paid therefor, or to demonstrate entitlement to any exemption from such withholding, the Borrower has complied fully with such requirements. (b) If any Legal Requirement at any time provides for any deduction from the value of the Collateral in connection with any impositions on the Lien of the Security Documents or changes in any way the laws for taxation of any Indebtedness secured thereby or the manner of collection of any such impositions so as to impose any Impositions upon or otherwise affecting this Indenture, and if such impositions are payable by the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Indenture Trustee or such Noteholder, as the case may be, the amount of all such impositions before such impositions are due. SECTION 3.7. EXISTENCE; GOVERNMENTAL REQUIREMENTS. The Borrower will at all times maintain its existence. The Borrower will at all times keep in full force and effect all of its franchises, rights, permits, licenses and consents as may be required by any Governmental Authority for the conduct of its business and the ownership, leasing, mortgaging and encumbering of the Collateral. Unless required by the Legal Requirements or permitted to be made by the Lessee without the Borrower's consent under the Lease, or unless the Required Holders will have otherwise first agreed in writing, the Borrower will not make or allow any changes to be made in the nature of the currently contemplated occupancy or use of the Facility or any portion thereof. The Borrower will not initiate or acquiesce in any change in any zoning or other land use classification now or hereafter in effect and affecting the Facility or any part thereof without in each case obtaining the prior written consent of the Required Holders. The Borrower will comply with or cause to be complied with in all material respects (a) every Legal Requirement applicable to the Collateral or to the Borrower and (b) every material contract, agreement or other instrument applicable to the Collateral or the ownership, occupancy or use of the Facility or to the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower will have the right to diligently contest any Legal Requirement so long as such contest will not (i) operate to suspend during the pendency thereof the collection of, or other realization upon, any Rent or other amount derived from, or payable with respect to, (A) the Facility or (B) any interest in the Facility and the other properties and rights included in the Collateral, or (ii) (v) subject the Rent under the Lease or any other part of the Collateral to loss, forfeiture or sale, (w) adversely affect the Lien of the Security Documents or any part of the Collateral, (x) interfere with the possession, use or occupancy of the Facility, (y) interfere with the due payment of any amount payable hereunder or under the Senior Secured Notes, or (z) subject the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders to the risk of any civil or criminal liability.

Whenever the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.2(b) require the Indenture Trustee to apply moneys received by it to the payment of the Investor Contribution, together with the accrued and unpaid Investor Yield, such moneys shall first be applied to the payment of such accrued and unpaid Investor Yield and then to the payment of the Investor Contribution. - 20 - (c) DISTRIBUTION AFTER DEFAULT If, at the time of receipt by the Indenture Trustee of any moneys (other than Excepted Payments) pursuant to Section 6.l(a), there shall have occurred and be continuing an Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Payment Default, then the Indenture Trustee shall retain such moneys (but after the application thereof to the payment of any amount then due and owing to the Indenture Trustee or otherwise secured by the Security Documents), as part of the Collateral solely for the benefit of the Noteholders and shall not distribute anything to the Borrower or the Lessee except as follows: (i) at such time as there shall not be continuing any Independent Event of Default and all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower under the Operative Agreements shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the moneys available to pay amounts due and payable to the Investor shall be distributed to it or upon its written notice, free of the Lien of the Security Documents; (ii) at such time as there shall not be continuing any Indenture Event of Default or Indenture Payment Default and all amounts then due and payable by the Borrower and/or the Lessee under the Operative Agreements shall have been indefeasibly paid in full, the remainder of the moneys shall be distributed to the Lessee or upon its written notice, free of the Lien of the Security Documents, and (iii) at such time as the Senior Secured Notes shall have been declared, or shall have become, due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b), all such moneys shall be distributed pursuant to Section 8.2(f).

SECTION 6.5. RELEASE OF LIEN. Upon the Indenture Trustee's payment, distribution, remittance or release to the Borrower or the Lessee of any moneys received or held by the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Collateral, such moneys shall be automatically released from the Lien of the applicable Security Documents, without limiting the obligation of the Borrower and of the Lessee to pay over to the Indenture Trustee all cash and other property required pursuant to this Indenture to be part of the Collateral and subject to the Lien of the Security Documents.

provided that such 30-day period shall be extended (up to a maximum period of 180 days) as to defaults which cannot be cured with the payment of money but are curable, though not reasonably capable of cure within such 30-day period, so long as the Borrower has commenced to cure such default prior to the end of such 30-day period and diligently prosecutes such cure to completion and such extension, individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

or (j) a judgment, decree, writ, warrant of attachment or similar process in an amount equal to or exceeding $500,000 is entered against the Borrower or the Facility, if such judgment, decree, writ, warrant of attachment or similar process is not adequately covered by insurance or has not been satisfied, vacated, discharged, appealed from (with execution or similar process continuously stayed) within thirty (30) days of such judgment's entry;

The occurrence of an Indenture Event of Default in connection with which there is any such acceleration of maturity shall constitute an irrevocable election by the Borrower to prepay the Senior Secured Notes, to fix the date of such acceleration (the "ACCELERATION DATE") as the Maturity Date and to pay to the Indenture Trustee on the Maturity Date the entire principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes, together with all accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Maturity Date and the Make Whole Premium. (c) APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVER At any time during which any Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may, with or without any acceleration of the maturity of the Senior Secured Notes, without waiving or limiting any of the Borrower's obligations under the Operative Agreements, without notice (except as required by law) to or consent by the Borrower, and regardless of the adequacy of the Collateral, the solvency of the Borrower or whether the Indenture Trustee has an adequate remedy at law, apply to any court having jurisdiction to appoint a receiver to take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral and enforce the collection of all amounts payable under the Bonds and the Lease. The Borrower hereby irrevocably consents to such appointment and waives notice (except as required by law) of any application therefor. Any such receiver shall have all of the usual powers and duties of receivers in similar cases and all of the Indenture Trustee's powers and duties upon entry and possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, as provided for in clause (d) hereof, and shall continue as receiver and exercise all such powers until the confirmation of the sale of the Collateral, or such portion as applicable, or unless such receivership is sooner terminated. (d) ENTRY AND POSSESSION At any time during which any Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, either the Indenture Trustee personally or by its agents or attorneys or a court appointed receiver, may, with or without any acceleration of the maturity of the Senior Secured Notes, without waiving or limiting any of the Borrower's obligations under the Operative Agreements, and (except as otherwise provided by law) without notice to or consent by the - 27 - Borrower: (i) with or without bringing any action or proceeding, enter upon and take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral, in its own name, and take any necessary or appropriate actions to protect and preserve the Collateral and the Lien of the Security Documents (including the making of payments to preserve or enhance the value, marketability or rentability of the property and the leasing of the Facility); or (ii) with or without taking possession of the Facility, sue for or otherwise collect all amounts payable under the Bonds and the Lease (including those due and unpaid), and such amounts payable under the Bonds and the Lease are hereby assigned to the Indenture Trustee, its successors in trust and their assigns. After deducting the expenses of conducting the business thereof and of all maintenance, repairs, renewals, replacements, alterations, additions, betterments and improvements and Taxes, assessments, insurance and other proper charges upon the Facility, as well as reasonable compensation for the services of the Indenture Trustee and all attorneys, servants and agents by the Indenture Trustee properly engaged and employed (including compensation and expenses in connection with any appeal), the Indenture Trustee shall promptly apply the moneys arising as aforesaid as follows: (x) if an Indenture Event of Default other than an Indenture Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1 shall have occurred, in the following order of priority: first, to the payments of the principal of the Senior Secured Notes and interest thereon (for the payment of which, during the Construction Period, the Indenture Trustee shall first draw Escrowed Funds (to the extent available) pursuant to the Escrow Agreement, including the Standing Orders), the Make Whole Premium and all other amounts under the Senior Secured Notes and this Indenture, when and as the same shall become payable, second, to the payment of any other sums required to be paid by the Borrower under this Indenture, and third, so long as no Independent Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and no Senior Secured Notes have been accelerated pursuant to Section 8.2, to the payment of the Investor Contribution, the Investor Yield and the Investor Premium; or (y) if an Indenture Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 8.1 shall have happened, in the order of priorities and amounts set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) of Section 8.2(f); No amount the Indenture Trustee may collect or receive under this Article shall operate to cure any Indenture Event of Default or reinstate any Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes. (e) SALE OF COLLATERAL At any time during which an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee, with or without entry, personally or by its agents or attorneys, may and, upon the written direction of the Required Holders, shall commence an action to foreclose under the Security Documents (in its absolute discretion, by power of sale, by judicial foreclosure or otherwise), and the Indenture Trustee, its successors and their assigns are hereby granted the power of sale with respect to any and all of the Collateral; provided that the Indenture Trustee shall, if practicable, provide to the Borrower and the Lessee ten (10) days' prior written notice of any sale of the Collateral (or such longer notice as may be required pursuant to local law). In the case of an exercise of the power of sale, the following applies: - 28 - (i) The Indenture Trustee may proceed in accordance with clause (iii) below, as if all of the Collateral were real property, or may elect to treat as personal property any of the Collateral that consists of a right in action or can be severed from the Facility and, in accordance with clause (ii) below, dispose of such property separate and apart from the sale of real property. (ii) The Indenture Trustee may cause any sale or other disposition of personal property to be conducted immediately following the expiration of any notice or grace period (if any) herein provided, or the Indenture Trustee may delay any sale or other disposition for such period of time as the Indenture Trustee deems to be appropriate. If the Indenture Trustee desires that more than one such sale or other disposition be conducted, the Indenture Trustee may cause the same to be conducted simultaneously or successively on the same day or on different days and at such times and in such order as the Indenture Trustee may deem to be appropriate. (iii) The Indenture Trustee may sell the Collateral or any part thereof that is real property or that the Indenture Trustee has elected to treat as real property, and, upon such election, the Indenture Trustee shall give such notice of default and election to sell as may then be required by law. Thereafter, upon the expiration of such time and the giving of such notice of sale as may then be required by law and upon advertising the sale as required by law, and without any demand on the Borrower, at the time and place specified in the notice of sale, the Indenture Trustee shall sell the Collateral or any portion thereof, as specified by the Indenture Trustee, at public auction to the highest bidder for cash in lawful money of the United States. The Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone the sale by public announcement thereof at the time and place noticed therefor. If the Collateral to be sold includes several lots or parcels, the Indenture Trustee may designate the order in which such lots or parcels shall be offered for sale or sold. Any Person, including the Indenture Trustee, may purchase at the sale. The purchaser at any private or foreclosure sale hereunder may disaffirm any easement or lease not consented to by the Indenture Trustee and with respect to which the Indenture Trustee has not granted a right of non-disturbance or which is not a Permitted Exception, and may take immediate possession of such property free therefrom, except as otherwise required under the law of the state in which such part of the Collateral is located. (iv) Upon the completion of any sale hereunder, the Indenture Trustee or any officer of any court empowered to do so shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the purchaser good and sufficient instruments conveying, assigning and transferring all estate, right, title and interest in and to the property rights sold. The Borrower hereby unconditionally, absolutely and irrevocable constitutes and appoints the Indenture Trustee and its successors and assigns forever the Borrower's true and lawful attorneys-in-fact, coupled with an interest, with full power of substitution, in the Borrower's name, place and stead, to make all necessary or appropriate conveyances, assignments, transfers and deliveries of the Collateral or any part thereof, and for that purpose the Indenture Trustee may execute all necessary or appropriate instruments of conveyance, assignment and transfer. The execution and delivery of any document, certificate or instrument by the Indenture Trustee, as attorney-in-fact for the Borrower pursuant to this power-of-attorney, shall constitute conclusive proof of the Indenture Trustee's power and authority, on the Borrowers' behalf, to execute and deliver such document and take - 29 - any action contemplated thereby. Nevertheless, the Borrower, if so required by the Indenture Trustee, shall ratify and confirm any such sale by executing, acknowledging and delivering to the Indenture Trustee or to such purchaser all such instruments as may be necessary or appropriate, in the judgment of the Indenture Trustee. Any sale made hereunder, whether under the power of sale or by virtue of judicial proceedings or a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale, shall operate to divest all of the estate, right, title and interest, at law or in equity, of the Borrower (and any Person claiming by, through or under the Borrower) in and to the portion of the Collateral sold, and shall be a perpetual bar, at law and in equity, against the Borrower and all Persons claiming, or that may claim, by, through or under the Borrower. (v) In the event of a sale or other disposition of any portion of the Collateral, the recitals in the deed of facts (such as default, the giving of notice of default and notice of sale, demand that such sale should be made, postponement of sale, terms of sale, sale, purchase, payment of purchase money and other facts to the extent such facts affect the regularity or validity of such sale or disposition) shall, upon execution of the deed, be conclusive proof of the truth of such facts against all Persons for the sole purpose of affirming the validity of such sale. The acknowledgment by the Indenture Trustee of the receipt of the purchase money stated in any such deed shall be sufficient to discharge the Indenture Trustee from all obligations to see to the proper use or application of the portion of the Collateral sold. (vi) In the event of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article (whether made under the power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), the entire principal of and interest on the Senior Secured Notes and all other amounts (including any Make Whole Premium) required to be paid pursuant hereto, if not previously due and payable, shall immediately become due and payable, anything in the Senior Secured Notes or in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as no Independent Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise any of the remedies contained in this Section 8.2(e) unless the Indenture Trustee as assignee of the Borrower shall have exercised, or shall concurrently be exercising with reasonable diligence, its right to terminate the Lease or other remedies under the Lease for the purpose of dispossessing the Lessee from the Facility; provided that in the event the Indenture Trustee is stayed under the Bankruptcy Code or otherwise prohibited from exercising such remedies under the Lease by the operation of any law or court order, the Indenture Trustee may, at the expiration of a ninety (90) day period beginning on the first day of said stay or other prohibition, exercise any remedy hereunder even though it is not concurrently exercising any remedies under the Lease, except that as long as (a) the Lessee is paying all amounts required to be paid by it under the Lease and is performing and observing all covenants and agreements required to be performed or observed by it under the Lease and (b) no Lease Event of Default or the Agency Agreement Event of Default is then continuing, the Indenture Trustee may not exercise any of the remedies contained in this Section 8.2(e) with respect to the Collateral or any part thereof during the period that such stay or other prohibition is in effect. - 30 - (f) APPLICATION OF SALE PROCEEDS The purchase money, proceeds or avails of any sale made under or by virtue of this Article, together with any other funds which then may be held by the Indenture Trustee, as part of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof, whether under the provisions of this Article or otherwise, shall be applied to pay, in the following order of priority: (i) all out-of-pocket charges and expenses (including court costs, advertising expenses, auctioneer's allowance, expenses required to correct any title irregularity, disbursements and bond premium, auditors' fees, attorneys' fees and expenses and reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel) in connection with such sale; (ii) all amounts advanced and costs incurred by the Indenture Trustee for any purpose permitted under the Operative Agreements, together with interest thereon, as provided for in the Operative Agreements; (iii) all accrued and unpaid interest on the unpaid principal and all other amounts (including any Make Whole Premium) due and payable under the Senior Secured Notes; (iv) all unpaid principal under the Senior Secured Notes; (v) all other amounts due and payable to the Indenture Trustee under the Operative Agreements; (vi) to the Investor, all accrued and unpaid Investor Yield and all other amounts (including any Investor Premium) due and payable in respect of the Investor Contribution; (vii) to the Investor, all unpaid Investor Contribution; and (viii) to the Lessee or such Persons legally entitled thereto, in each case, free of the Lien of the Security Documents. (g) PURCHASE BY THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE Upon any sale made under or by virtue of this Article (whether made under any power of sale herein granted or under or by virtue of judicial proceedings or of a judgment or decree of foreclosure and sale), to the extent permitted by Legal Requirements, the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, may bid for and acquire the Collateral or any part thereof and in lieu of paying cash therefor shall, upon (and only upon) the written direction of the Required Holders, make settlement for the purchase price by crediting upon the Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes secured by the Security Documents the net proceeds of sale after deduction of all costs, expenses, compensation and other charges to be paid therefrom as herein provided. The Person making such sale shall accept such settlement without requiring the production of any of the Senior Secured Notes, and, without such production, there shall be deemed credited thereon the pro rata share of the net proceeds of sale ascertained and established as aforesaid. The Indenture Trustee, upon so acquiring the Collateral or any part thereof, shall be entitled to hold, deal with and sell the same in any manner permitted by any Legal Requirement. (h) INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S CLAIM IN BANKRUPTCY In case of proceedings against or involving the Borrower in insolvency or bankruptcy (including any proceeding under any federal or state bankruptcy or insolvency statute or similar law) or any proceedings for its respective reorganization or involving the liquidation of its assets, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to prove the whole amount of principal and interest due upon the Senior Secured Notes to the full amount thereof and all other payments, charges and costs due under this Indenture (including any Make Whole Premium payable by the Borrower pursuant to Section 8.2(b) or any other provision of this Indenture) and the Senior Secured Notes, without deducting therefrom any proceeds obtained from the sale of the whole or - 31 - any part of any property included in the Collateral; provided, however, that in no case shall the Indenture Trustee receive a greater amount than such principal and interest and such other payments, charges and costs from the aggregate amount of the proceeds of all sales of the Collateral and the distribution from the estate of the Borrower. (i) OTHER SECURITY The Indenture Trustee may exercise all of its rights and remedies under this Indenture and the other Operative Agreements, notwithstanding that some or all of the Borrower's obligations hereunder and thereunder may not or hereafter be otherwise secured, and the Indenture Trustee's acceptance and enforcement of this Indenture shall not operate as a waiver of, or to limit, the Indenture Trustee's rights and remedies with respect to any other security for the performance of any of the Borrower's obligations under the Operative Agreements. The Indenture Trustee may enforce this Indenture and any such other security in any order or manner that the Indenture Trustee determines, and the Indenture Trustee's rights hereunder and thereunder shall be cumulative. SECTION 8.3. VOLUNTARY APPEARANCE. After an Indenture Event of Default and during its continuance, promptly upon the commencement of any action, suit or other legal proceeding by the Indenture Trustee to obtain judgment for the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Senior Secured Notes and other sums required to be paid by the Borrower hereunder or under the Senior Secured Notes, or of any other nature in aid of the enforcement of the Senior Secured Notes or of this Indenture, the Borrower shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, enter a voluntary appearance in such action, suit or proceeding. SECTION 8.4. SUITS BY THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE. All rights of action under this Indenture or under any of the Senior Secured Notes may be enforced by the Indenture Trustee without the possession of any of the Senior Secured Notes and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto. A copy of any Senior Secured Note, if properly certified by the Indenture Trustee to be true and correct, shall constitute conclusive evidence of all matters that could be proven by production of the original of that Senior Secured Note in any trial or proceeding relative thereto. Any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its name as trustee (subject to the provisions of Article 9 hereof), and, subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee, any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Noteholders. SECTION 8.5. GENERAL PROVISIONS CONCERNING REMEDIES. (a) SUBROGATION If any portion of the principal under the Senior Secured Notes or any amounts advanced or expended by the Indenture Trustee is used, directly or indirectly, to pay, discharge or satisfy, in whole or in part, any prior Lien with respect to the Collateral, the Indenture Trustee shall be subrogated to such Lien and any security therefor. - 32 - (b) ACCOUNTING Neither the Indenture Trustee nor any receiver appointed for the Indenture Trustee's benefit with respect to the Collateral shall be liable to account for any earnings, revenues, rents, issues, profits, income or other amounts, except for amounts actually received by the Indenture Trustee or such receiver (as the case may be). (c) WAIVER OF DEFAULT The Indenture Trustee, upon the direction of the Required Holders, shall waive any default hereunder and its consequences with respect to the Senior Secured Notes, except a default (i) in the payment or prepayment of the principal of, interest on, any Make Whole Premium or any other amounts in respect of, any Senior Secured Note when and as the same shall become due and payable, (ii) depriving the Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder of a Lien upon the Collateral, (iii) in the due performance or observance of the covenants and obligations of the Borrower contained in Section 8.2 of the Participation Agreement or (iv) described in Sections 8.1(k) and (1). In case of the waiver of any default or in case any proceeding taken on account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely to the Indenture Trustee, then and in every such case, the Borrower, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder respectively. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. (d) WAIVER OF ACCELERATION At any time after the entire unpaid principal amount of the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 8.2(b), the Required Holders may rescind and annul any such declaration and its consequences; provided that at the time such declaration is annulled and rescinded: (i) no judgment or decree shall have been entered for the payment of any money due pursuant to the Senior Secured Notes or any other Operative Agreements; (ii) all Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes that has become due and payable solely by reason of such declaration shall have been duly paid; and (iii) each and every other Indenture Default shall have been remedied or waived or otherwise made good or cured. (e) LIMITATION OF REMEDIES If an Indenture Event of Default arises solely out of the occurrence and continuance of a Lease Event of Default under Section 11.1 (d) of the Lease, the Indenture Trustee shall not exercise its rights hereunder unless it shall be concurrently exercising with reasonable diligence its right to terminate the Lease, subject to the right of a court of competent jurisdiction to limit or stay the exercise of remedies under the Lease; provided that the Indenture Trustee may exercise any of the remedies to which it is entitled as assignee of the Borrower under the Lease if the creditor (or trustee thereof) referred to in Section 11.1 (d) of the Lease shall have - 33- exercised any remedy against the Lessee with respect to which such Lease Event of Default has occurred. SECTION 8.6. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (whether or not an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, but only to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture and the Security Documents). No delay or omission of the Indenture Trustee or of any Noteholder in the exercise any right or power accruing upon any Indenture Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Indenture Event of Default or an acquiescence therein; and every power and remedy given by this Indenture to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders. SECTION 8.7. THE BORROWER'S WAIVERS, (a) The Borrower agrees that it shall not, at any time or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take any benefit of any stay, extension or moratorium law which may affect the terms of this Indenture; nor claim or take any benefit of any law providing for the valuation or appraisal of any property included in the Collateral or any part thereof prior to any sale thereof; nor, prior to or after any such sale, claim or exercise any right to redeem the property so sold or any part thereof; and the Borrower hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and, after an Indenture Event of Default and during its continuance, covenants not to hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted or available at law or in equity, but to suffer and permit the execution of every power and remedy as though no such law existed. The Borrower waives all right to have the property included in the Collateral marshaled upon any foreclosure thereof. (b) Except as otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 8.2(e)(vi) and in Section 8.5(e), the Borrower hereby waives any right to require the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders to proceed against any Person, firm or corporation or to proceed against or exhaust any other security held by them at any time or to pursue any other remedy in their powers, and the Borrower agrees that neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Noteholders shall be obligated to resort to any other security, with any priority, in any particular order or at all, even if such action or omission destroys, alters or otherwise impairs subrogation rights of the Borrower against such Person, firm or corporation or the right of the Borrower to proceed against such Person, firm or corporation for reimbursement, or both. (c) Subject to the applicable notice provisions contained herein, the Borrower waives demand, protest and notice of any action or non-action on the part of the Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee, any endorser, any creditor of the Borrower under any other instrument, or any other Person whosoever, in connection with any obligation or evidence of Indebtedness secured hereby. - 34 - (d) Until all Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes has been paid in full, the Borrower waives the right of subrogation and any benefit of, and any right to participate in, any security now or hereafter held by the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders. SECTION 8.8. DIRECTION OF REMEDIES. The Required Holders shall have the right by an instrument in writing delivered to the Indenture Trustee to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to this Indenture or of exercising any power of trust conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, and the Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 9.1, shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Indenture Trustee shall in good faith determine, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President or a Vice President of the Indenture Trustee, that the proceeding so directed would reasonably subject it or him, as the case may be, to personal liability, including under any Environmental Law. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with any written instruction furnished to the Indenture Trustee by the Required Holders in response to a written application by the Indenture Trustee therefor. If no such instrument or instruction has been received from the Required Holders, the Indenture Trustee may (but shall have no duty to) take such action, if any, as the Indenture Trustee shall determine to the extent not inconsistent with the terms of this Indenture. SECTION 8.9. SUIT BY NOTEHOLDERS. If an Indenture Event of Default described in Section 8.l(a) or (b) shall have occurred and be continuing and the Required Holders shall have directed the Indenture Trustee to act with respect thereto (and offered indemnity in accordance with Section 9.2(1)) and the Indenture Trustee shall have failed to act within ten (10) days thereof, then and only then shall any Noteholder have the right to exercise any remedy therefor available to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 8.2 hereof. All rights of action under this Indenture or under any of the Senior Secured Notes may be performed by the Noteholders without the possession of any Senior Secured Notes and without the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto. A copy of any Senior Secured Note, if properly certified by a Noteholder to be true and correct, will constitute evidence of all matters that could be proven by production of the original of that Senior Secured Note in any trial or proceeding relative thereto. SECTION 8.10. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE BORROWER. Anything in this Indenture, the Notes or any other Operative Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, as long as no Independent Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrower shall be entitled to exercise the following rights (the "EXCEPTED RIGHTS"): (a) SHARED RIGHTS The Borrower will at all times retain, but not to exclusion of the Indenture Trustee, the rights (the "SHARED RIGHTS") (i) to receive from the Lessee all notices, copies of documents and other information which the Lessee is permitted or required to give or furnish to the Borrower pursuant to the Operative Agreements, (ii) to inspect the Facility and the books and records of the Lessee to the extent provided in the Operative Agreements, and (iii) to provide such insurance as the Lessee will have failed to maintain and to obtain excess insurance for its own account (but only to the extent such excess does not result in the Borrower being deemed a - 35 - co-insurer with the Lessee) and to receive any notices or consents with respect to insurance contemplated by the Lease. (b) TERMINATION, AMENDMENTS, WAIVER, ETC. (i) Unless a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall not enter into any amendment, modification or waiver of the Lease (herein, an "AMENDMENT"), which could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the Borrower's rights under the Lease, without the prior written consent of the Borrower (which shall not be unreasonably withheld). (ii) Whether or not a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, (A) the Borrower shall have the exclusive right to enter into, execute and deliver Amendments relating solely to the Excepted Payments and the Excepted Rights, and (B) the Indenture Trustee shall neither enter into, execute nor deliver Amendments that impair any of the Borrower's Excepted Rights or Excepted Payments. (iii) Except as expressly prohibited by this clause (b) or in clause (c) of this Section 8.10, if a Lease Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee may enter into Amendments without the consent or approval of the Borrower; provided that prior to effecting any such Amendment which is adverse to the Borrower, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Borrower a written counterpart of such Amendment substantially in the form proposed to be effected, and no such proposed Amendment shall be effected prior to the tenth (10th) day following such delivery. (iv) Additionally, notwithstanding anything in this Indenture or any other Operative Agreement to the contrary, so long as no Independent Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, no changes or modifications shall be made to any Operative Agreement to which the Borrower is a party without the Borrower's prior written consent (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) if such change or modification: (1) increases the Term of the Lease or the maturity of the Senior Secured Notes, but no Borrower consent will be required at any time an Indenture Event of Default has occurred and is continuing; (2) reduces the Maximum Residual Guarantee Amount or the Construction Termination Amount, but no Borrower consent will be required from and after the earlier of: (x) acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes and initiation of foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Collateral and (y) filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Borrower or the Lessee; (3) adversely changes any indemnities payable to the Borrower or the Investor under the Operative Agreements; (4) decreases the Investor Yield; (5) adversely affects the Insurance Requirements of any insurance policy that inures to the benefit of the Borrower or the Investor; (6) adversely affects the use or maintenance provisions with respect to the Facility contained in Section 3.3 and Article V of the Lease; (7) adversely changes Article X of the Lease (including waiving any default that would otherwise prevent the Lessee from exercising the remarketing option set forth in Section 10.2 of the Lease), but no Borrower consent will be required from and after the earlier of: (x) acceleration of the Senior Secured Notes and initiation of foreclosure proceedings with respect to the Collateral and (y) filing of a bankruptcy petition by or against the Borrower or the Lessee; or (8) changes this Section 8.10. - 36 - (c) EXCEPTED PAYMENTS The Borrower shall distribute to the Investor any Excepted Payments to which the Investor is entitled. SECTION 8.11. NO ACTION CONTRARY TO THE LESSEE'S RIGHTS UNDER THE LEASE. Notwithstanding any other provision of any Operative Agreement, the Indenture Trustee covenants that, so long as no Lease Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall not take any action contrary to the Lessee's rights under the Lease, including the Lessee's rights to quiet use and possession of the Facility. SECTION 8.12. NONRECOURSE LIABILITY, (a) Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary (except as provided in clauses (b) and (c) of this Section), it is expressly understood and agreed that if the Indenture Trustee at any time takes action to enforce the collection of the Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes, the Indenture Trustee will proceed to foreclose hereunder and sell the Collateral and/or institute suit on the Guarantee, the Facility Agency Agreement or the Senior Secured Notes and take such other action as shall be necessary to enforce Noteholders' rights under the Residual Value Policy and the Construction Termination Policy. If a lesser sum is realized from such foreclosure, sale and/or suit, neither the Noteholders nor the Indenture Trustee will institute any action, suit, claim or demand in law or equity against the other assets of the Borrower or against the Borrower's managers, officers, directors, employees or the Investor, for or on account of the deficiency or for any other matter with respect to the Borrower's obligations hereunder or under any of the other Operative Agreements. (b) Nothing contained in clause (a) above will in any way affect or impair: (i) the Lien of the Security Documents securing the entirety of all amounts due under the Bonds, the Senior Secured Notes and hereunder; (ii) the Noteholders' rights under the Guarantee (including upon acceleration to receive the entirety of all amounts due under the Senior Secured Notes and hereunder), the Facility Agency Agreement, the Residual Value Policy or the Construction Termination Policy; (iii) the Borrower's liability for its obligations as landlord under the Lease; (iv) the Borrower's liability for its obligations under Section 8.2(a), (d), (f), (i) and (l) of the Participation Agreement; or (v) the Noteholders' or the Indenture Trustee's rights pursuant to the Lease, the Assignment of Leases or any other Operative Agreement to institute actions, suits, claims or demands in law or equity against the Lessee. (c) Further, the following, (x) in the case of clauses (iii), (iv), (v), (vii), (ix) or (xi), if liability imposed thereby results from any action of the Borrower directed by the Investor, and (y) in the case of all other clauses, as provided therein, are excluded from the provisions of clause (a), and the Noteholders may recover personally against the assets of the Borrower (but not against any assets of any manager, officer, director or employee of the Borrower or the Investor or their personal assets) for the following as aforesaid: (i) all actual losses, damages or liabilities that the Noteholders suffer arising out of any fraud or willful or intentional misrepresentation by the Borrower in connection with: (A) the Borrower's performance or fulfillment of any of the conditions to or requirements for any advance of the Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes; (B) the execution and - 37 - delivery by the Borrower of any of the documents evidencing or securing the Indebtedness under the Senior Secured Notes; (C) the making of any representations or warranties by the Borrower contained in the Operative Agreements; or (D) the Borrower's performance of any of its obligations under the Operative Agreements; (ii) all rents and other revenues, payments or reimbursements of any kind whatsoever (including all payments by the Lessee) derived from the Facility and received by the Borrower at any time after the Borrower becomes aware of any Indenture Event of Default (unless waived or cured pursuant to this Indenture) or on deposit on the date the Borrower becomes so aware in one or more accounts used by the Borrower or the Borrower's agents or representatives in connection with the Facility, except to the extent permitted under this Indenture or otherwise properly applied (as documented by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders) to the normal and customary expenses and operations of the Facility, in each case pursuant to the Lease and the Security Documents; (iii) all security or other deposits and advance rents collected by the Borrower and not properly applied in due course (as documented by evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Required Holders); (iv) the replacement cost of any items of personalty or any fixtures removed from the Facility by the Borrower and not replaced, unless obsolete or permitted to be removed by the terms of the Lease, at any time after the Borrower becomes aware of any Indenture Event of Default (unless waived or cured pursuant to this Indenture); (v) all actual losses, damages and liabilities that the Noteholders suffer arising from any acts of commission or omission by the Borrower that result in waste upon the Collateral; (vi) any Net Proceeds that are misapplied by the Borrower contrary to the terms hereof and of the Lease; (vii) all actual losses, damages and liabilities that the Noteholders suffer arising from any of the Borrower's obligations as landlord under the Lease; (viii) any amendment, modification, waiver or any termination of the Bond Sublease, the Lease, the Residual Value Policy, the Construction Termination Policy or the Facility Agency Agreement without the consent of the Required Holders; (ix) any act or omission of the Borrower that vitiates any coverage, or reduces any amount that might otherwise be payable, under (x) any property (hazard) insurance policy required under the Operative Agreements with respect to the Facility, (y) any provision for self-insurance or (z) the Residual Value Policy or the Construction Termination Policy; (x) any Lien, other than Permitted Liens, resulting from the action or inaction of the Borrower that is not required to be indemnified by the Lessee; - 38 - (xi) any environmental liability of the Borrower that is not required to be indemnified by the Lessee; and (xii) the failure of the Borrower to conduct its business in a manner sufficient to avoid consolidation with any of its Affiliates, except with respect to the filing of consolidated Tax returns in accordance with the Code and except as imposed by law under ERISA. ARTICLE 9 TRUSTEES SECTION 9.1. INDIVIDUAL AND CO-TRUSTEES. (a) If required under the law of the state of Missouri with respect to the Facility or the law of any other jurisdiction in which any of the Collateral is located, or if the Indenture Trustee deems such to be otherwise necessary or prudent, the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to, and upon the written direction of the Required Holders shall appoint one or more Persons at the expense of the Borrower to act as individual trustees or co-trustees, jointly with the Indenture Trustee, of any of the property subject to the Lien of the Security Documents, and any such Person shall be such separate trustee or co-trustee, with such powers and duties as shall be specified in such instrument. (b) Every individual trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent not prohibited by law, be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon such individual or co-trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such separate or co-trustee, as shall be set forth in the instrument appointing him or it; provided, however, that such separate or co-trustee shall take no action without the consent of the Indenture Trustee (unless the requirement for such consent shall be forbidden by law as to any particular application of such requirement); (ii) All powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Indenture Trustee, in respect of the custody of all cash deposited hereunder, shall be exercised solely by the Indenture Trustee; (iii) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the acts or omissions of any individual trustee or co-trustee; and (iv) The Indenture Trustee may at any time by written instrument accept the resignation of or remove any such individual trustee or co-trustee, and upon the request of the Indenture Trustee, the Borrower shall join with the Indenture Trustee in the execution, delivery and performance of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to make effective such resignation, but the Indenture Trustee shall have the power to accept such resignation or to make such removal without making such request. A successor to an individual trustee or co-trustee so resigning or removed may be appointed in the manner provided in this Section. - 39 - (c) Such individual trustee or co-trustee, upon acceptance of such trust, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in such instrument, either jointly with the Indenture Trustee, or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the trusts, conditions and provisions of this Indenture; and every such instrument shall be filed with the Indenture Trustee. Any individual trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, by written instrument constitute the Indenture Trustee his agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent permitted by law, to do all acts and things and exercise all discretion authorized or permitted by him, for and in behalf of him and his name. If any individual trustee or co-trustee shall be dissolved, become incapable of acting, resign, be removed or die, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said individual trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Indenture Trustee, without the appointment of a successor to said individual trustee or co-trustee, until the appointment of a successor to said individual trustee or co-trustee is necessary as provided in Section 9.1 (a). (d) Any notice, request or other writing, by or on behalf of the Noteholders delivered to the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to all individual and co-trustees. SECTION 9.2. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The Indenture Trustee accepts the trusts hereby created and agrees to perform its duties herein for the benefit of the Noteholders from time to time upon the following terms and conditions: (a) The Indenture Trustee shall have the full power and authority to do all things not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture and the Security Documents in order to enforce this Indenture and the Security Documents or to take any action with respect to an Indenture Event of Default, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect thereto, or to protect the interests of the Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee shall not be answerable or accountable except for its bad faith, willful misconduct or gross negligence. The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any proceeds from the sale of any Senior Secured Notes. Except as provided in Section 3.4(b), the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to prepare any revised refilings or continuations of any financing statements with respect to the Collateral, but upon the request of the Required Holders, shall execute and deliver, at the Borrower's expense, any security documents reasonably requested to preserve the Lien created by the relevant Security Documents, but shall have no obligation to take any action to protect, preserve or enforce any rights or interests in the Collateral or towards the execution or enforcement of the trusts created hereby and by the relevant Security Documents which, in its opinion, shall be likely to involve unreimbursed expense or liability, unless, upon the Indenture Trustee's request, the Noteholders shall furnish reasonable indemnity (including the advancement of expenses reasonably anticipated by the Indenture Trustee) against such liability and expense to the Indenture Trustee. In accepting the trusts hereunder and the Collateral under the Security Documents, the Indenture Trustee is acting solely as a trustee hereunder and not in its individual capacity and all Persons, other than the Borrower and the Noteholders, having any claim against the Indenture Trustee, arising by reason hereof or in connection with any applicable Security Documents, shall look only to the Collateral for payment or satisfaction thereof. Unless and until - 40 - an Indenture Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall not be obligated to take any action under this Indenture, the Security Documents or any document included in the Collateral except for the performance of such duties as are specifically set forth herein or therein and except as may be requested from time to time in writing by the Required Holders. If and so long as an Indenture Event of Default (of which the Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have knowledge, as hereinafter provided in clause (j) of this Section 9.2) shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise such rights, powers and remedies (whether vested in it by this Indenture, the Security Documents or by law or in equity or by statute or otherwise) for the protection and enforcement of its rights under this Indenture, the Security Documents and in respect of the Collateral as to which the Indenture Trustee is directed in written instructions from the Noteholders pursuant to Section 8.8). Without limiting the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Noteholders (i) promptly, but in no event later than ten (10) Business Days after the Maturity Date, written notice of any failure of the Lessee or the Borrower to deliver to the Indenture Trustee on the Maturity Date the unpaid outstanding principal amount of such Series, together with all interest accrued thereon to the date of payment, and (ii) promptly, but in not event later than ten (10) Business Days after receipt thereof, written notice of an order of a court of competent jurisdiction to reimburse, as a preference, any amount previously paid to Indenture Trustee under the Senior Secured Notes. (b) The Borrower shall pay, or cause to be paid, all customary fees of the Indenture Trustee related to or arising out of this Indenture and the Security Documents. In the event that the Borrower fails to pay such compensation (which failure if not remedied within ten (10) days after notice thereof shall constitute an Indenture Event of Default of a kind described in Section 8.l(b)), the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to seek from the Noteholders or the Collateral reasonable compensation for the Indenture Trustee's services and reimbursement for all proper disbursements incurred by it upon or after an Indenture Event of Default, or for instituting, appearing in or defending any suit or proceeding with respect thereto. (c) The Indenture Trustee shall incur no liability in acting upon any signature, notice, request, consent, instrument, certificate, opinion, or other instrument reasonably believed by it in good faith to be genuine. In administering the trusts, the Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof directly or through its agents or attorneys and may consult with counsel, accountants and other skilled Persons to be selected and employed by it, and the reasonable expenses thereof shall, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of an Indenture Event of Default, be paid, or caused to be paid, by the Borrower, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for anything done, suffered or omitted in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of any such Person. (d) The recitals in this Indenture, the Senior Secured Notes and the other Operative Agreements to which the Indenture Trustee is a party shall not be considered as made by, or as imposing any obligation or liability upon, the Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee makes no covenant or representation as to the rights of the Noteholders, the title or interest of the Borrower in or to, or the condition of, the Collateral or the sufficiency of the security for the Senior Secured Notes or of this Indenture or the Security Documents, except that the Indenture Trustee represents and warrants that this Indenture and the Security Documents have been duly - 41 - authorized, executed and delivered by the Indenture Trustee and constitute valid and binding obligations of the Indenture Trustee enforceable against the Indenture Trustee in accordance with their respective terms. (e) The Indenture Trustee shall have no duty to see to any recording, filing or registration of the Security Documents, any instrument of further assurance, any instrument constituting part of the Collateral, or any amendments or supplements to any of said instruments or to see to the payment of any fees, charges or Taxes in connection therewith, other than with respect to moneys the Indenture Trustee collects for such purposes (and the Indenture Trustee may act with respect to the Senior Secured Notes and pay out deposited moneys without regard thereto), or to give any notice thereof, or to see to the payment of or be under any duty in respect of any Tax, assessment or other governmental charge which may be levied or assessed on the Collateral or any part thereof or against the Borrower. (f) Whenever in administering the trust, the Indenture Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established, subject to the first sentence of Section 9.2(c), by a certificate or other instrument purporting to be signed by a Responsible Officer of the Borrower and delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and such certificate or other instrument shall be full warrant to the Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trust shall incur no liability to anyone for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it on the reliance thereof, but in its discretion the Indenture Trustee may in lieu thereof accept other evidence of such fact or matter or may require such further or additional evidence as may seem reasonable to it. (g) The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to see to the payment or discharge of any Liens (other than the Lien hereof, and then only to the extent herein provided, and Liens, if any, arising by reason of its acts or omissions unrelated to the discharge of its duties as Indenture Trustee hereunder) upon the property included in the Collateral or to the delivery or transfer to any Person of any property released from any such Lien, or to give notice to or make demand upon any mortgagor, mortgagee or other Person for the delivery or transfer of any of such property. The Indenture Trustee shall, however, be obligated to send to the Borrower a notice of default as soon as practicable after the Borrower's failure to pay when due any principal of, Make Whole Premium or interest on any obligation secured by any of the Collateral, and to furnish the Borrower with a copy of any notice sent by it to the Lessee with respect to any default under the Lease.

(k) At the reasonable request of, and payment of copying charges by, any Noteholder, the Indenture Trustee shall forward to each Noteholder a copy of any financial report, notice, request, certificate or communication submitted to the Indenture Trustee pursuant hereto unless the Indenture Trustee has determined that any such Noteholder has actually received the same. (l) Whenever the Indenture Trustee is required or allowed under the provisions of any Operative Agreement to take (or to refrain from taking) any action (other than any ministerial act) or to give or withhold any consent or when the Required Holders deem it necessary or desirable for the Indenture Trustee to take (or to refrain from taking) any action or to give or withhold any consent under any Operative Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall take (or refrain from taking) such action or give or withhold such consent, only upon, and as may be specified in, any written instructions delivered by the Required Holders; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not be required to take any such action if the Indenture Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised by counsel, that such action (i) is contrary to the terms hereof or of any document contemplated hereby to which the Indenture Trustee is a party or is otherwise contrary to law or (ii) is likely to result in liability on the part of the Indenture Trustee, unless the Required Holders shall have provided to the Indenture Trustee - 43 - indemnification or security reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee against all costs, expenses and liabilities arising from the Indenture Trustee's taking such action. (m) Neither the Borrower nor a Noteholder shall direct the Indenture Trustee to take or refrain from taking any action contrary to this Indenture, nor shall the Indenture Trustee be obligated to follow any such direction, if given.

If the Indenture Trustee shall not have received appropriate instructions within fifteen days of such notice (or within such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Indenture, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Noteholders, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

If the Indenture Trustee shall have given notice of its intention to resign, shall resign, be removed or otherwise be incapable of acting, or if the Indenture Trustee shall be taken under the control of any public officer or a receiver appointed by a court, or be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, then a successor shall be appointed by the Required Holders; provided, however, that the Borrower may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee to act until such successor shall be so appointed. The Borrower shall notify the Noteholders of any such appointment by the Borrower, but any successor trustee so appointed by the Borrower shall immediately and without further act be superseded by a successor trustee appointed by the Noteholders as above provided.

(b) Any successor to the Indenture Trustee shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and the Borrower (or any subsequent owner of the Borrower's interest in the property included in the Collateral) an instrument accepting such appointment, and - 44 - thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the estate, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts of its predecessor in the trusts hereunder with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; provided, however, that upon payment of all amounts owing to it such predecessor shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor, upon the trusts expressed in this Indenture and the Security Documents, such estate, properties, rights, powers, duties and trusts and shall duly assign, transfer, deliver and pay over to such successor any property and moneys subject to the Lien of the Security Documents and held by such predecessor. The successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder and to the Borrower (or any subsequent owner of the Borrower's interest in the property included in the Collateral) a copy of any such instrument accepting appointment promptly after its execution thereof.

(d) Any Person into which the Indenture Trustee may be merged or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger or consolidation or conversion to which it shall be a party, or any Person to whom all or substantially all of its corporate trust business shall be sold shall be the successor to the Indenture Trustee without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. SECTION 9.5. RELIANCE BY THE BORROWER.

Nothing in this Indenture is intended or shall be construed to give to any Person, other than the Borrower (including its successors and assigns as owners of the Facility or any interest therein), the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture or any covenant, condition or provision herein contained. SECTION 11.4. SEVERABILITY.

SECTION 11.5. NOTICES. All notices, demands, declarations, designations, certificates, requests, offers, acceptances, consents, rejections, approvals, appointments, directions, and other instruments and communications given pursuant to this Indenture (collectively called "NOTICES") to any Person shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when (a) delivered to - 48 - that Person's Address in person, by mail, postage prepaid, by Federal Express or other reliable 24-hour delivery service, or (b) received at that Person's fax number, when sent via facsimile. From time to time any party may designate a new Address or fax number for purposes of notice hereunder to each of the other parties hereto.

If the Indenture Trustee refuses to act hereunder or under any other Operative Agreement at the direction of the Required Holders, the Required Holders may take such action instead of the Indenture Trustee and any such action shall be deemed to be taken by the Indenture Trustee hereunder or under such other Operative Agreement.

Wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular and the use of any gender shall include all genders. SECTION 11.10. TABLE OF CONTENTS, HEADINGS. The table of contents and the headings appearing in this Indenture have been inserted for convenient reference only and shall not modify, define, limit or expand the express provisions of this Indenture.

Upon notice of such principal prepayment, the Indenture Trustee will reapply all subsequent payments made in respect of the Indebtedness represented by this Note to principal (to be applied in inverse order of maturity and with respect to which no premium will be charged and no prepayment notice will be required) and interest to give effect to the maximum interest rate then permitted by law. Upon each such partial prepayment of principal, all payments of principal and interest which are thereafter due and payable on this Note will be in such a manner that upon the due payment of all remaining payments of principal and interest in respect hereof there will have been paid to the Holder hereof the entire unpaid principal balance of this Note, together with accrued interest thereon. SECTION 5. REGISTER; TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES. This Note is issuable only as a fully registered Note.
