SECTION 4.3. PROJECT COSTS.

The Trustee may rely conclusively on any such certificate delivered by the Company pursuant to this Section and shall not be required to make any independent investigation in connection therewith. The Trustee may rely conclusively upon each such bill of sale or written evidence so presented and shall have no duty or responsibility to determine the accuracy, adequacy or appropriateness thereof or to identify the items of personal property to which such may apply. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee all bills of sale or other written evidence of the acquisition of the Project on behalf of the City at the time of delivery of such requisition certificates. Notwithstanding the foregoing, at any time the Company is the sole Bondowner, if the Bondowner advances funds directly for the Project Costs in connection with the Company's expenditures, the City and the Company acknowledge that such funds shall not be required to be deposited into the Project Fund, but shall be deemed to be nonetheless a deposit by the Bondowner into the Project Fund and shall be an Additional Payment within the meaning of Section 5.02 of the Indenture, and a draw equal to such sums therefrom, as provided in this Section 4.4, upon which the Trustee may conclusively rely, based upon the Company's delivery to the Trustee of a requisition certificate otherwise conforming to the requirements contained in this Section 4.4 that confirms the amount of such advances by the Bondowner. SECTION 4.5. ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPLETION DATE. The Completion Date shall be evidenced to the Trustee by a certificate signed by the Authorized Company Representative stating (a) that the Project has been completed, $45,000,000 of Project has been acquired pursuant to this Lease, or the Lease Term has expired, (b) that all costs and expenses incurred in the Project have been paid except costs and expenses the payment of which is not yet due or is being retained or contested in good faith by the Company, (c) amounts to -10- be retained by Trustee with respect to item (b) above, and (d) an itemized descriptive list of all Project Costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing, such certificate shall state that it is given without prejudice to any rights against third parties which exist at the date of such certificate or which may subsequently come into being. The Company and the City agree to cooperate in causing such certificate to be furnished to the Trustee. SECTION 4.6. SURPLUS OR DEFICIENCY IN PROJECT FUND. (a) Upon receipt of the certificate described in Section 4.5 hereof, the Trustee shall, as provided in Section 504 of the Indenture, transfer any remaining moneys then in the Project Fund to the Bond Fund, and the Company agrees to cooperate with the Trustee and take all required action necessary to redeem a portion of the Bonds. (b) If the Project Fund shall be insufficient to pay fully all Project Costs and to complete the acquisition and installation of the Project lien free, the Company shall pay to the Trustee for deposit in the Project Fund the full amount of such deficiency for disbursement by the Trustee pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 4.4 hereof, and the Company shall save the City and the Trustee whole and harmless from any obligation to pay such deficiency. SECTION 4.7. PROJECT PROPERTY OF CITY. The Project at the execution hereof and which the Company purchases hereafter, and all additions to the Project are deemed to be, or constitute part of the Project, and the Project as repaired, rebuilt, rearranged, restored or replaced by the Company under the provisions of this Lease, except as otherwise specifically provided herein, shall immediately when purchased become the absolute property of the City, subject only to this Lease and the Indenture. The Company shall deliver to the City and the Trustee by April 1 of each year, a detailed listing of all of the Project as required by Section 10.9, certified to the City and the Trustee by the Authorized Company Representative and this listing may be conclusively relied upon by the Trustee. The City shall have the right to request and review such reasonable supporting documentation from the Company with respect to such Project. The inadvertent failure by the Company to include or exclude an item in such list shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Lease. SECTION 4.8. MACHINERY AND EQUIPMENT PURCHASED BY THE COMPANY. Except for the Project, any other personal property, including without limitation, furniture, fixtures, machinery or equipment, the entire purchase price of which is paid for by the Company with the Company's own funds, and no part of the purchase price of which is paid for from funds deposited pursuant to the terms of the Indenture or this Lease in the Project Fund, or from funds provided by the City pursuant to Section 4.3 of this Lease, shall be the property of the Company. -11- ARTICLE V RENT PROVISIONS SECTION 5.1.
