CONDITIONS AND TERMS OF BONDS

Section 3.01. Authorization and Issuance of Bonds; Dating.

(a) There is hereby authorized the issuance of the Bonds in the aggregate principal amount of One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars ($125,800,000), in three series, of which $54,200,000 shall be designated as “Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007A” (the “Series 2007A Bonds”); $51,600,000 shall be designated as “Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007B” (the “Series 2007B Bonds”); and $20,000,000 shall be designated as “Hillsborough County Industrial Development Authority Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds (Tampa Electric Company Project), Series 2007C” (the “Series 2007C Bonds”).

(b) The Series 2007A Bonds shall mature on May 15, 2018, the Series 2007B Bonds shall mature on September 1, 2025, and the Series 2007C Bonds shall mature on November 1, 2020 (in each case the “Maturity Date” for such series). All Bonds of each series will be dated the date of original issuance and delivery, will bear interest from that date and shall mature, subject to prior redemption or mandatory tender, on the Maturity Date for such series.

(d) The Trustee is hereby authorized to authenticate and to deliver the Bonds only upon (i) written direction of the Authority, (ii) receipt of a copy of the Bond Insurance Policy and evidence satisfactory to it of delivery of that Policy and (iii) receipt of the proceeds of sale thereof in the amounts set forth in the written direction of the Authority.

Section 3.02. Interest on the Bonds. Interest on each series of Bonds will be payable as provided in the Bonds and in this Section. The Determination Method for each series of Bonds may be changed by the Company as described in paragraph (b) below. The methods of determining the various interest rates are as provided in paragraph (a) below, provided that no interest rate set or determined by the Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent under (a)(1), (2), (3), (4) or (5), or an Alternate Rate determined under (a)(6), shall exceed the Maximum Rate.

(a) Interest Rate Determination Methods. In accordance with the notification requirements described herein, the Company shall determine the applicable interest rate determination method (each a “Determination Method”) on each series of Bonds. The interest rate on each series of Bonds shall be determined by one of the following Determination Methods.

(1) Daily Rate. When interest on a series of Bonds is payable at a Daily Rate, the Remarketing Agent will set a Daily Rate on or before 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each Business Day for that Business Day. Each Daily Rate will be the minimum rate necessary (as determined by the Remarketing Agent based on the examination of tax-exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then-prevailing market conditions) for the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the day the rate is set at their principal amount (without regard to accrued interest). The Daily Rate for any non-Business Day will be the rate for the last day for which a rate was set.

(2) Weekly Rate. When interest on a series of Bonds is payable at a Weekly Rate, the Remarketing Agent will set a Weekly Rate on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the last Business Day before the commencement of a period during which the Bonds bear interest at a Weekly Rate and on each Wednesday thereafter so long as interest on the Bonds is to be payable at a Weekly Rate or, if any Wednesday is not a Business Day, on the next preceding Business Day. Each Weekly Rate will be the minimum rate necessary (as determined by the Remarketing Agent based on the examination of tax-exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then prevailing market conditions) for the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds on the date the rate is set at their principal amount (without regard to accrued interest). Thereafter, each Weekly Rate shall apply to (i) the period beginning on the Thursday after the Weekly Rate is set and ending on the following Wednesday or, if earlier, ending on the day before the effective date of a new method of determining the interest rate on such series of Bonds or (ii) the period beginning on the effective date of the change to a Weekly Rate and ending on the next Wednesday.

(3) Commercial Paper Rate. During a Commercial Paper Mode, each Bond of a series will bear interest during the Commercial Paper Period for such Bond at the Commercial Paper Rate for such Bond. Different Commercial Paper Periods may apply to different Bonds at any time and from time to time. Except as otherwise described in this subparagraph (3), the Commercial Paper Period and Commercial Paper Rate for each Bond will be determined by the Remarketing Agent no later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the first day of each Commercial Paper Period.

(i) Determination of Commercial Paper Periods. Subject to Section 3.02(b)(2)(vii), each Commercial Paper Period will be a period of at least 1 day and not more than 270 days, determined by the Remarketing Agent to be the period which, together with all other Commercial Paper Periods for all Bonds of such series then outstanding, will, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, result in the lowest overall interest expense on such series of Bonds over the next 270 days. Each Commercial Paper Period will end on either the day before a Business Day or on the day before the Maturity Date for such Bond. However, any Bond purchased on behalf of the Company and remaining unsold by the Remarketing Agent as of the close of business on the first day of the Commercial Paper Period for that Bond will have a Commercial Paper Period of 1 day or, if that Commercial Paper Period would not end on a day before a Business Day, a Commercial Paper Period of the shortest possible duration greater than 1 day ending on a day before a Business Day.

In determining the number of days in each Commercial Paper Period, the Remarketing Agent shall take into account the following factors: (I) existing short-term tax-exempt market rates and indices of such short-term rates, (II) the existing market supply and demand for short-term tax-exempt securities, (III) existing yield curves for short-term and long-term tax-exempt securities for obligations of credit quality comparable to the Bonds, (IV) general economic conditions, (V) industry economic and financial conditions that may affect or be relevant to the Bonds, (VI) the number of days in other Commercial Paper Periods applicable to the Bonds and (VII) such other facts, circumstances and conditions as the Remarketing Agent, in its sole discretion, shall determine to be relevant.

(ii) Determination of Commercial Paper Rates. The Commercial Paper Rate for each Commercial Paper Period for each Bond of a series shall be the minimum rate necessary (as determined by the Remarketing Agent based on the examination of tax-exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then-prevailing market conditions) for the Remarketing Agent to sell such Bond on the date and at the time of such determination at its principal amount (without regard to accrued interest).

(4) Long-Term Interest Rate. The Remarketing Agent will set a Long-Term Interest Rate on a date not less than the Business Day before the beginning of any period determined by the Company prior to the effective date of the Long-Term Interest Rate (a “Long-Term Interest Rate Period”) in which interest on any of the Bonds of any series will be payable at a Long-Term Interest Rate. The last day of each such Long-Term Interest Rate Period shall be determined by the Company in accordance with Section 3.02(b)(1). Each Long-Term Interest Rate will be the minimum rate necessary (as determined by the Remarketing Agent with respect to any Long-Term Interest Rate Period based on the examination of tax-exempt obligations comparable to the Bonds known by the Remarketing Agent to have been priced or traded under then-prevailing market conditions) for the Remarketing Agent to sell the Bonds of such series for delivery on the effective date of the Long-Term Interest Rate at their principal amount (without regard to accrued interest).

When all Bonds in a Long-Term Interest Rate are not purchased on the date set for mandatory tender for such bonds pursuant to “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” or “Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the

Determination Method” under paragraph 7 in the form of the Bond, such Bonds (i) shall be returned to their holders and remain outstanding, (ii) shall continue in the Long-Term Interest Rate until purchased, as described in the immediately succeeding clause (iii), and shall bear interest at a Long-Term Interest Rate of the lower of the Maximum Rate or such rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent based upon prevailing market conditions at the time the Bonds were converted to the Long-Term Interest Rate previously in effect until so purchased, (iii) shall be purchased upon the availability of remarketing proceeds to purchase such Bonds (or funds as provided for in Section 4.07(b) hereof), and (iv) in such event such Purchase Price shall not be considered due and payable so that no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred.

The Remarketing Agent shall use its best efforts to cause the Bonds in a Long-Term Interest Rate required to be purchased on the date set for mandatory tender for such Bonds pursuant to “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” or “Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method” under paragraph 7 in the form of the Bonds, to be remarketed (in such Determination Method or Methods) on the first date thereafter at which time all such Bonds can be sold at par, at a rate not exceeding the Maximum Rate.

(5) Auction Period Rate. During an ARS Rate Period, the Auction Period Rate will be determined by the Auction Agent in accordance with the provisions set forth in Exhibit C hereto, which is part of this Agreement.

(6) Failure of Remarketing Agent to Announce Interest Rates on the Bonds. Except as set forth in Exhibit C, if the appropriate interest rate or Commercial Paper Period on the Bonds of any series is not or cannot be determined for any reason, the method of determining interest on such Bonds shall be as provided in this Section 3.02(a)(6). If such Bonds bear interest at the Daily Rate or the Weekly Rate, interest will be payable at the Alternate Rate, and such Bonds bearing interest at the Commercial Paper Rate shall be automatically converted to the Weekly Rate (without the necessity of complying with the requirements of Section 3.02(b)), and if the Weekly Rate cannot be determined, interest thereon will be payable at the Alternate Rate, until such time as the Determination Method can be changed in accordance with Section 3.02(b). If such Bonds bear interest at the Long-Term Interest Rate, the Bonds (i) shall not be purchased on the date set for mandatory tender occurring the day after the last day of the then-current Long-Term Interest Rate Period for such Bonds in accordance with “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” or “Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method” under paragraph 7 in the form of Bond but shall instead be returned to their holders and remain outstanding, (ii) shall continue in the Long-Term Interest Rate until purchased, as described in the immediately succeeding clause (iii), and shall bear interest at a Long-Term Interest Rate of the lower of the Maximum Rate or such rate as determined by the Remarketing Agent based upon prevailing market conditions at the time such Bonds were converted to the Long-Term Interest Rate previously in effect until so purchased, and (iii) shall be purchased upon the availability of remarketing proceeds to purchase such Bonds (or funds as provided for in Section 4.07(b) hereof). In such event the Purchase Price shall not be considered due and payable so that no Event of Default shall be deemed to have occurred. The Remarketing Agent shall use its best efforts to cause the Bonds in a Long-Term Interest Rate required to be purchased on the date set for mandatory tender for such Bonds pursuant to “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” or “Mandatory

Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method” under paragraph 7 in the form of Bond, to be remarketed (in such Determination Method or Methods) on the first date thereafter at which time all such Bonds can be sold at par, at a rate not exceeding the Maximum Rate. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Bondholders of any such automatic change as set forth in Section 4.06(b).

While Bonds of any series are in a Commercial Paper Mode, during any transition period caused by an automatic conversion of such Bonds to a Weekly Rate in accordance with this Subsection (6), Bonds bearing interest at a Weekly Rate and Bonds bearing interest at a Commercial Paper Rate, as applicable, shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such methods of determining interest on the Bonds.

(b) Initial Interest Rate Determination Method; Change in Interest Rate Determination Method.

(1) The Bonds of each series shall bear interest for the Initial Period for such series at the respective rates determined in accordance with this Agreement on or prior to the date of delivery of the Bonds by the Underwriter for each series as the minimum rate required to sell the Bonds of such series on the date of issuance at a purchase price of par. Thereafter the Auction Period Rate to be applicable to the Bonds of each series during an Auction Period shall be determined by the Auction Agent and notice thereof shall be given as provided in Exhibit C hereto. Interest shall accrue from one Interest Payment Date to, but not including, the next Interest Payment Date. Following the Initial Period, the Bonds of each series shall bear interest at Auction Period Rates for Auction Periods established in accordance with this Agreement, until changed in accordance with this Agreement. The Company may change the Determination Method, of all but not part of the Bonds, from time to time by notifying, as applicable, the Authority, the Trustee, the Bond Insurer, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealer. Such notice (a “Conversion Notice”) shall contain the effective date of such change; provided, however, that if the change is to the Auction Period Rate Determination Method from another Determination Method or from the Auction Period Rate Determination Method to another Determination Method, the Conversion Notice shall be given in accordance with Section 3.03(a) or Section 3.03(b), as applicable. The Conversion Notice for the Bonds of any series must be accompanied by a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel addressed to the Bond Insurer, the Authority and the Trustee. If the Company’s Conversion Notice complies with this paragraph, and if the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, the Bond Insurer and the Authority a confirming Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel on the effective date as specified in the Conversion Notice, the interest rate on the Bonds of such series will be determined on the basis of the new rate on the effective date specified by the Company until there is another change as provided in this Section.

If the Company wishes to change the Determination Method for the Bonds of any series to or from an Auction Period Rate, the Company must comply with Section 3.03.

If, 30 days before the end of a Long-Term Interest Rate Period for the Bonds of any series, the Company has not provided for the next interest rate period, a new Long-Term Interest Rate Period of the same duration will follow (or if shorter, a Long-Term Interest Rate Period ending on the day before the Maturity Date for the Bonds of such series).

When one Long-Term Interest Rate Period for the Bonds of any series follows another, all provisions of this Agreement applying to a change in the Determination Method will apply, except:

(A) the mandatory tender described under “Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method” in the Bonds will not apply, but the mandatory tender described under “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” in the Bonds will apply;

(B) the Company will not be required to deliver a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel if a new Long-Term Interest Rate Period begins as a result of the Company failing to provide for the next interest rate period; and

(C) the Company will not be required to deliver a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel if (i) the Company has previously designated a series of successive Long-Term Interest Rate Periods which, together with the current Long-Term Interest Rate Period, are substantially equal in length, (ii) a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel addressed to the Trustee was delivered before the first such Long-Term Interest Rate Period in that series which applies to each such successive Long-Term Interest Rate Period and (iii) no other change in the security for the Bonds of such series or in this Agreement or the terms of the Bonds of such series is made which is effective as of, or agreed to in connection with, the effective date of such subsequent Long-Term Interest Rate Period.

(2) Limitations. Any change in the Determination Method for the Bonds of any series pursuant to paragraph (1) above must comply with the following:

(i) the effective date of a change (or each effective date in the case of a change from a Commercial Paper Mode) shall be a Business Day which is at least 15 days (30 days if a Long-Term Interest Rate is then in effect and the effective date is before the day after the last day of a Long-Term Interest Rate Period, and 20 days if an ARS Rate Period is then in effect) after receipt by the Trustee of the Company’s Conversion Notice;

(ii) if a Long-Term Interest Rate is then in effect, the effective date of any change must be either the day after the last day of the then current Long-Term Interest Rate Period or, except as described in clause (iii) below, a day on which such Bonds would otherwise be subject to redemption under the paragraph “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period” in paragraph 9 of the Bonds if the change did not occur;

(iii) if the Company has previously designated successive Long-Term Interest Rate Periods, the effective date of each Long-Term Interest Rate Period must be the day after the last day of the previous Long-Term Interest Rate Period;

(iv) if a Commercial Paper Mode is then in effect, the effective date of any change must be either the day after the last day of the Commercial Paper Mode or, as to any Bond, the day after the last day of the Commercial Paper Period then in effect (or to be in effect) with respect to that Bond;

(v) if any Bonds have been called for redemption and the redemption has not yet occurred, the effective date of the change cannot be before such redemption date;

(vi) if a Long-Term Interest Rate for the Bonds of such series is then in effect, the effective date of any change cannot occur during the period after a Record Date and to, but not including, the related Interest Payment Date;

(vii) if a Commercial Paper Mode is then in effect, the Remarketing Agent shall determine Commercial Paper Periods of such duration that will, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, best promote an orderly transition on the effective date. After the receipt by the Trustee of the Company’s Conversion Notice, the day after the last day of each Commercial Paper Period shall be, with respect to such Bond, not later than the effective date of the change. The Remarketing Agent shall promptly give written notice of each such last date and each such effective date with respect to each Bond to the Authority, the Company and the Trustee;

(viii) if an Auction Period Rate is then in effect, the effective date of any change must be the day after the last day of the Auction Period then in effect; and

(ix) in the event of a conversion to an Auction Period Rate Determination Method from Commercial Paper Mode, the effective date of such conversion may not be earlier than the day following the last day of the longest Commercial Paper Period for the Bonds of such series then in effect.

During any transition period in connection with a change in Determination Method for the Bonds of any series from the Commercial Paper Mode to a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or a Long-Term Interest Rate, as applicable, in which the Remarketing Agent is setting different Commercial Paper Periods in order to effect an orderly transition of such change, Bonds of such series bearing interest at a Commercial Paper Rate shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to a Commercial Paper Mode, and Bonds of such series bearing interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Long-Term Interest Rate, as applicable, shall be governed by the provisions of this Agreement applicable to such Determination Methods.

(c) Calculation of Interest. The Remarketing Agent, and in the case of subparagraph 5 below, the Auction Agent, shall provide the Trustee and the Company with notice by Electronic Means (any such notice by telephone to be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee) by 1:00 p.m., New York City time,

(1) on the last Business Day of a month in which interest on any series of Bonds was payable at a Daily Rate, of the Daily Rate for each day in such month,

(2) on each day on which a Weekly Rate becomes effective, of the Weekly Rate,

(3) on the first day of each Commercial Paper Period, of the length thereof and the Commercial Paper Rate, and, if there is more than one Commercial Paper Rate then in effect, of the related applicable principal amounts,

(4) on the first Business Day of a Long-Term Interest Rate Period, of the Long-Term Interest Rate or Long-Term Interest Rates set for that period,

(5) on the first Business Day of each Auction Period, of the Auction Period Rate set for that period, and

(6) on any Business Day preceding any redemption or purchase date, any interest rate requested by the Trustee in order to enable it to calculate the accrued interest, if any, due on such redemption or purchase date.

Using the rates supplied by this notice, the Trustee will calculate the interest payable on the Bonds. The Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent, as the case may be, will inform the Trustee and the Company orally at the oral request of either of them of any interest rate so set. The Trustee will confirm the effective interest rate in writing to any Bondholder who requests it.

The setting of the rates by the Remarketing Agent or the Auction Agent, as applicable, the determination of Commercial Paper Periods by the Remarketing Agent and the calculation of interest payable on the Bonds by the Trustee as provided in this Agreement will be conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Company, the Trustee and the owners of the Bonds.

(d) Change in Rate Determination Method-Opinions of Counsel. Notwithstanding any provision of this Section 3.02, no change shall be made in the Determination Method for the Bonds of any series at the direction of the Company pursuant to Section 3.02(b)(1), and the Bonds of each series shall continue to bear interest in accordance with the then current Determination Method, if the Trustee shall receive written notice prior to the effective date of such change that (i) the Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel and confirmation thereof if required under Section 3.02(b)(1) has not been delivered or (ii) that the Company has revoked its election. If the Trustee shall have sent any notice to the Bondholders of any series regarding a change in rate pursuant to Section 4.06(b), then in the event of such failure to deliver such opinion or confirmation, or revocation by the Company, the Trustee shall promptly notify all Bondholders of any affected series of such failure and, except for Bonds of such series in the Auction Period Rate, the Bonds of such series shall still be subject to mandatory tender on that proposed date and the Remarketing Agent shall remarket the Bonds of such series pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the change was from an Auction Period Rate, Section 3.03(b)(4) will apply.

Section 3.03. Changes to and from Auction Period Rate Determination Method.

(a) Changes to Auction Period Rate. At the option of the Company, all of the Bonds of any series (in an amount which is an authorized denomination for the new Rate Period) may be converted from another Determination Method to the ARS Rate Period Determination Method. Any such conversion shall be made as follows:

(1) In any such conversion from a Daily Rate or a Weekly Rate, the ARS Conversion Date shall be a regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on which interest is payable for the Interest Period from which the conversion is to be made; provided, however, that if the conversion is from a Long-Term Interest Rate, the ARS Conversion Date shall be a regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on which a new Long-Term Interest Rate would otherwise have commenced, and in any such conversion from a Commercial Paper Rate, the

ARS Conversion Date shall be the last regularly scheduled Interest Payment Date on which interest is payable for any Interest Period theretofore established for the Bonds of such series to be converted.

(2) The Company shall give written notice of any such conversion to the Remarketing Agent, the Bond Insurer, the Authority, the Trustee, the Auction Agent, and each Broker-Dealer, as applicable, not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the date on which the Trustee is required to notify the Bondholders of such series of the conversion pursuant to subparagraph (3) below. Such notice shall specify the Bonds to be converted, the ARS Conversion Date and the length of the initial Auction Period. Together with such notice, the Company shall file with the Authority and the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that the conversion of the Bonds to an ARS Rate Period shall not adversely affect the validity of the Bonds or any exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes to which interest on the Bonds would otherwise be entitled. No such change to an ARS Rate Period shall become effective unless the Company shall also file, with the Authority, the Bond Insurer and the Trustee, a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel to the same effect dated the ARS Conversion Date.

(3) Not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the ARS Conversion Date, the Trustee shall mail a written notice of the conversion to the registered owners of all Bonds to be converted setting forth the same information contained in subparagraph (2) above and stating that such Bonds shall be subject to mandatory tender at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest on the ARS Conversion Date; provided, however, that the Trustee shall not mail such written notice if converting from a Commercial Paper Rate until it has received a written confirmation from the Remarketing Agent that no Interest Period for such Bonds extends beyond the ARS Conversion Date.

(4) The Auction Period Rate for the Auction Period commencing on the ARS Conversion Date shall be the lowest rate which, in the judgment of the Broker-Dealers for the Bonds of such series, is necessary to enable the Bonds of such series to be remarketed at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, on the ARS Conversion Date. Such determination shall be conclusive and binding on the Authority, the Company, the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Bond Insurer, the Beneficial Owners and the Bondholders.

(5) Not later than 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of determination of the Auction Period Rate, the Broker-Dealer, shall notify the Trustee, the Company, and the Auction Agent of the Auction Period Rate by Electronic Means.

(6) Interest on the Bonds in an Auction Period of 180 days or less will be computed on the basis of actual days over 360 and in an Auction Period greater than 180 days on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

(7) The Company may revoke its election to effect a conversion of the interest rate on any series of Bonds to an Auction Period Rate by giving written notice of such revocation to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent, the Bond Insurer and each Broker-Dealer, as applicable, at any time prior to the setting of the Auction Period Rate by the Broker-Dealer.

(8) No series of Bonds may be converted to the Auction Period Rate Determination Method when such series of Bonds is not held by a Securities Depository in book-entry form.

(b) Conversions from Auction Period Rate Determination Method. At the option of the Company, all of the Bonds of any series (in an amount which is an authorized denomination for the new Rate Period) may be converted from an ARS Rate Period to another Determination Method. Any such conversion shall be made as follows:

(1) The Conversion Date from an ARS Rate Period shall be the Interest Payment Date following the final Auction Period.

(2) The Company shall give written notice of any such conversion to the Authority, the Bond Insurer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, if any, the Auction Agent and the Broker Dealer(s) not less than seven (7) Business Days prior to the date on which the Trustee is required to notify the registered owners of the conversion pursuant to subparagraph (3) below. Such notice shall specify the series of Bonds to be converted, the Conversion Date and the new rate period to which the conversion shall be made. Together with such notice, the Company shall file with the Authority and the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel to the effect that the conversion of the Bonds to be converted shall not adversely affect the validity of the Bonds or any exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes to which interest on the Bonds would otherwise be entitled. No change to a Daily Rate, a Weekly Rate, a Long-Term Interest Rate or a Commercial Paper Rate shall become effective unless the Company shall also file, with the Authority, the Authority and the Trustee, a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel to the same effect dated the Conversion Date.

(3) Not less than twenty (20) days prior to the Conversion Date, the Trustee shall mail a written notice of the conversion to the registered owners of all Bonds to be converted, specifying the Conversion Date.

(4) At any time prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the Business Day immediately preceding the Conversion Date the Company may withdraw its notice of conversion and the Auction for such Bonds shall be held on such Auction Date as if no conversion notice had ever been given. If on a Conversion Date there has not been a timely withdrawal of the conversion notice as set forth in the preceding sentence or any condition precedent to such conversion is not satisfied, the Trustee shall give notice by Electronic Means as soon as practicable and in any event not later than the next succeeding Business Day to the registered owner of the Bonds to have been converted, the Authority, the Auction Agent, the Broker-Dealers and the Bond Insurer that such conversion has not occurred, that the Bonds shall not be purchased on the failed Conversion Date, that the Auction Agent shall continue to implement the Auction Procedures on the Auction Dates with respect to such Bonds which otherwise would have been converted excluding however, the Auction Date falling on the Business Day next preceding the failed Conversion Date, and that the interest rate shall continue to be the Auction Period Rate; provided, however, that the interest rate borne by the Bonds which otherwise would have been converted during the Auction Period commencing on such failed Conversion Date shall be the Maximum Rate, and the Auction Period shall be the seven-day Auction Period.

(5) On the Conversion Date applicable to the Bonds to be converted, the Bonds to be converted shall be subject to mandatory tender at a purchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest. The principal portion of the purchase price of the Bonds so tendered shall be payable solely from the proceeds of the remarketing of such Bonds. In the event that the conditions of a conversion are not satisfied, including the failure to remarket all applicable Bonds on a mandatory tender date, the Bonds shall not be subject to mandatory tender, shall be returned to their owners, shall automatically convert to a seven-day Auction Period and shall bear interest at the Maximum Rate.

(6) A liquidity facility shall be required to support the Bonds of a series in the event the Bonds of such series are changed to a Determination Method other than an Auction Period Rate or a Long-Term Interest Rate for which the Long-Term Interest Rate Period is five years or more. The Bond Insurer’s prior written approval of the liquidity facility and the liquidity facility provider shall be obtained prior to the liquidity facility being entered into. The Authority (at the direction of the Company) and the Trustee shall amend this Agreement to incorporate provisions necessary to effect any such change in Determination Method.

Section 3.04. Undelivered Bonds. If a Bond is tendered for purchase as provided in Article III, or if the holder of a Bond gives irrevocable instructions to the Remarketing Agent for purchase, and in each case funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for the purchase, the Trustee upon request of the Company or the Remarketing Agent will authenticate a new Bond in the same maturity and in the same denomination registered as the Company or the Remarketing Agent may direct and deliver it to the Company or upon the Company’s order, whether or not the Bond purchased is ever delivered, and the undelivered Bonds shall be canceled on the books of the Trustee, whether or not said undelivered Bonds have been delivered to the Trustee. From and after the purchase date, interest on such Bond shall cease to be payable to the prior holder thereof, such holder shall cease to be entitled to the benefits or security of this Agreement and shall have recourse solely to the funds held by the Trustee for the purchase of such Bond, and the Trustee shall not register any further transfer of such Bond by such prior holder. If Bonds to be purchased are not delivered by the holders by 12:00 noon, New York City time, on any purchase date, the Trustee shall hold any funds received for the purchase of those Bonds in trust in a separate account and shall pay such funds to the former owners of the Bonds upon presentation of the Bonds. All funds held by the Trustee for the purchase of undelivered Bonds shall be held uninvested.

Section 3.05. Form of Bonds. The Bonds of each series shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit B, which is part of this Agreement, in the denominations provided for in the Bonds, with appropriate or necessary insertions, omissions and variations as permitted or required hereby, including the appropriate series designation and Maturity Date. The Bonds shall express the purpose for which they are issued and any other statements or legends which may be required by law or the provisions hereof, including the provisions of Section 6.01. Bonds will be numbered as determined by the Trustee. All Bonds, unless a supplemental agreement shall have been executed and delivered pursuant to Section 12.01, shall be in fully registered form, and, subject to Section 12.04, the holder of a Bond shall be regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this Agreement.

Section 3.06. Execution and Authentication of Bonds. Each Bond shall be signed by the Chairman of the Authority and attested by the Secretary of the Authority in their official capacities (provided that any or all of those signatures may be facsimiles) and shall bear the seal or a facsimile of the seal, if any, of the Authority. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of whose signature appears on any Bond shall cease to be that officer before the issuance of the Bond, his signature or the facsimile thereof nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if he had remained in office until that time. Any Bond may be executed on behalf of the Authority by an officer who, on the date of execution is the proper officer, although on the date of the Bond that person was not the proper officer.

No Bond shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any security or benefit under this Agreement unless and until a certificate of authentication, substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B to this Agreement, shall have been signed by the Trustee. The authentication by the Trustee upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the security and benefit of this Agreement. The certificate of the Trustee may be executed by any person authorized by the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same authorized person sign the certificates of authentication on all of the Bonds. In authenticating the Bonds, the Trustee shall add the date of its authentication of Bonds. No Bond shall be authenticated except in an authorized denomination.

Section 3.07. Transfer and Exchange of Bonds. Subject to Section 6.01, all Bonds are transferable or exchangeable by the holder thereof, in person or by the Bondholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, at the office of the Trustee in the books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.08, upon surrender of such Bonds accompanied by delivery of a duly executed written instrument of transfer or exchange in a form approved by the Trustee. Whenever any Bond or Bonds shall be surrendered for transfer or exchange, the Trustee shall execute and deliver a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denominations of the same aggregate principal amount, except that the Trustee may require the payment by any Bondholder requesting such transfer or exchange of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange. All Bonds surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be canceled by the Trustee, shall not be redelivered and shall be disposed of as provided in Section 3.11. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or exchange (i) any Bonds of the maturity or maturities being redeemed during the period commencing on the date ten days prior to the date of mailing of a notice of redemption of Bonds of that maturity for redemption and ending on such date of mailing or (ii) any Bond selected for redemption in whole or in part.

Section 3.08. Registration Books. The Trustee will keep at its office sufficient books for the registration of the ownership, transfer or exchange of the Bonds, which books shall be available for inspection by the Authority, the Company and the Trustee at reasonable hours and under reasonable conditions; and upon presentation for such purpose the Trustee shall, under such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, register the ownership, transfer or exchange of the Bonds in such books as hereinabove provided. The ownership of any Bonds may be proved by the books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of this Section.

Section 3.09. Temporary Bonds. The Bonds may be initially delivered in temporary form exchangeable for definitive Bonds when ready for delivery, which temporary Bonds shall be

printed, lithographed or typewritten, shall be of such denominations as may be determined by the Trustee, shall be in fully registered form and shall contain such reference to any of the provisions hereof as may be appropriate. Every temporary Bond shall be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and terms and in substantially the same manner as definitive Bonds. If the Trustee authenticates and delivers temporary Bonds, the Authority will prepare and execute and the Trustee will authenticate definitive Bonds without delay, and in that case upon demand of the holder of any temporary Bonds such definitive Bonds shall be exchanged without cost to such Bondholder for temporary Bonds at the office of the Trustee upon surrender of such temporary Bonds, and until so exchanged such temporary Bonds shall be entitled to the same benefit, protection and security hereunder as the definitive Bonds executed and delivered hereunder. All temporary Bonds surrendered pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be canceled by the Trustee, shall not be redelivered and shall be disposed of as provided in Section 3.11.

Section 3.10. Bond Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen. If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and of the same Maturity Date in lieu of the mutilated Bond, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the mutilated Bond, and every mutilated Bond surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it and shall not be redelivered and shall be disposed of as provided in Section 3.11. If any Bond shall be destroyed, lost or stolen, evidence of such destruction, loss or theft may be submitted to the Trustee and if such evidence is satisfactory to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the Authority receive indemnity satisfactory to them, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new Bond of like tenor and of the same Maturity Date in substitution for the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond. The Trustee may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond authenticated and delivered by it under this Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by it under this Section. Any replacement Bond authenticated and delivered under the provisions of this Section in lieu of or in substitution for any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefit, protection and security hereof with all other Bonds executed and delivered hereunder, to the same extent as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond replaced; and neither the Trustee nor the Authority shall be required to treat both the original Bond and any replacement Bond as being outstanding for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Bonds which may be authenticated and delivered hereunder or for the purpose of determining any percentage of Bonds outstanding hereunder, but both the original and the replacement Bond shall be treated as one and the same. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, rather than authenticating and delivering a new Bond for a mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond which has been called for redemption, the Trustee may make payment of the principal of such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond directly to the holder thereof under such regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.

Section 3.11. Safekeeping and Cancellation of Bonds. Any Bond surrendered pursuant to this Article for the purpose of payment or retirement, or for exchange, replacement or transfer, shall be canceled upon presentation and surrender thereof to the Trustee.

The Company on behalf of the Authority, may deliver at any time to the Trustee for cancellation any outstanding Bonds previously authenticated and delivered hereunder, which the Authority or the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever. All Bonds so delivered shall be canceled promptly by the Trustee. Certification of the surrender and

cancellation shall be made by the Trustee to the Authority and the Company upon the request of either therefor. Such canceled Bonds shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures.

Section 3.12. Special Agreement with Bondholders. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or of any Bond to the contrary, with the approval of the Company, the Trustee may enter into an agreement with any holder of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Bonds providing for making all payments to that holder on that Bond or any part thereof (other than any payment of the entire unpaid principal amount thereof) at a place and in a manner other than as provided in this Agreement and in the Bond, without presentation or surrender of the Bond, upon any conditions which shall be satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company; provided, that payment in any event shall be made to the person in whose name a Bond shall be registered on the books required to be kept by the Trustee pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.08, with respect to payment of principal and premium, on the date such principal and premium is due, and, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable Record Date.

Section 3.13. CUSIP Numbers. The Authority in issuing the Bonds may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Bondholders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers of which the Company has written notice.

ARTICLE IV

REDEMPTION, MANDATORY TENDER AND REMARKETING

Section 4.01. Redemption.

(a) Special Mandatory Redemption Upon Taxability. If, as a result of the failure of the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation in this Agreement, a court of competent jurisdiction or any administrative agency finally determines (such determination not to be considered final unless the Authority has been given written notice and, if, in consultation with the Company, the Authority determines to contest, at the Company’s expense, either directly or in the name of any holder of a Bond, any such determination, until the conclusion of any appellate review if sought by the Authority in consultation with the Company) that the interest payable on any Bond is includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income, as defined in Section 61 of the Code, of any Bondholder (other than a “substantial user” of the Project or a “related person,” as defined in the Code), the Bonds shall be subject to special mandatory redemption prior to maturity, as a whole, or in part if such partial redemption will preserve the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the remaining Bonds outstanding (and if in part, to be selected by the Trustee or by the Securities Depository, as applicable, by lot or in any other customary manner as determined by the Trustee or by the Securities Depository, as applicable) at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, without premium. The Company

will give notice to the Authority and the Trustee in writing of the amount of Bonds to be redeemed and of the date selected for such redemption not later than 90 days after the date of such final determination, such redemption date to be not more than 180 days after the date of such final determination.

(b) Extraordinary Optional Redemption. The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at the option of the Company, by notice to the Trustee and the Authority, in whole, at any time, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount of the outstanding Bonds, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of redemption, without premium, on any date selected by the Company, but not less than 45 days after nor more than 180 days after the Company shall have given notice of its exercise of the right to make such prepayment. The Company may exercise its right to cause the Bonds to be redeemed at its option, if:

(1) In the opinion of the Company, the continued operation by the Company of all or substantially all of the Project Units is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable due to (A) the imposition of taxes or other liabilities or burdens not being imposed as of the date of the Bonds, (B) changes in technology or in the economic availability of raw materials or operating supplies or equipment or (C) destruction of or damage to all or a substantial portion of such Project Units; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise its right to redeem the Bonds for reasons described in this clause (1) if any portion of the redemption price is to be paid from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds;

(2) All or substantially all of the Project Units shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain;

(3) The operation by the Company of all or substantially all of the Project Units shall have been enjoined and the Company shall have been prevented from carrying on normal operations at such Project Units for a period of six months or more; or

(4) In the event the First Mortgage Bonds have been issued, all or substantially all the mortgaged and pledged property constituting bondable property (as defined in the First Mortgage) which at the time shall be subject to the lien of the First Mortgage as a first lien shall be released from the lien of the First Mortgage pursuant to the provisions thereof, and available moneys in the hands of the trustee or trustees at the time serving as such under the First Mortgage, including any moneys deposited by the Company available for the purpose, are sufficient to redeem all the first mortgage bonds of all series issued pursuant to the First Mortgage at the redemption prices (together with accrued interest to the date of redemption) specified therein applicable to the redemption thereof upon the happening of such event.

For purposes of clause (1) of this Section 4.01(b), the “opinion of the Company” shall be expressed to the Authority and the Trustee by delivery of a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or the Executive Committee thereof stating that it is the opinion of said Board of Directors or Executive Committee that the circumstances, situations or conditions described in subclause (A), (B) or (C) of such clause (1) exist to the extent required for the Company to exercise the option provided.

(c) Optional Redemption. The Bonds of each series shall be subject to redemption at the option of the Company as provided under “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period”, “Optional Redemption During Daily or Weekly Rate Period”, or “Optional Redemption During ARS Rate Period” in paragraph 9 of the form of the Bonds. The Company will notify the Trustee in writing of such redemption at least 15 days before the date on which the Trustee is required to deliver notice of redemption to the Bondholders.

(d) Special Mandatory Redemption upon Reorganization. In the event that the Bond Insurance Policy is in effect and the Company is a party to any “Reorganization” as defined in the Insurance Agreement to which the Bond Insurer has not consented, and the obligations of the Company under, and in respect of, the Bonds, this Agreement and the Insurance Agreement have not been assumed by and become direct and primary obligations of a “Regulated Utility Company” as defined in the Insurance Agreement, the Bonds shall be subject to special mandatory redemption prior to maturity, as a whole, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, without premium. The Company will give notice to the Authority and the Trustee in writing of the date selected for such redemption not later than 45 days before the effective date of such Reorganization, such redemption date to be not later than one Business Day before the effective date of such Reorganization.

Section 4.02. Optional Redemption Dates. The redemption date of Bonds of any series to be redeemed pursuant to any optional redemption provision in this Agreement and the Bonds will be a date permitted by the Bonds and specified by the Company in the notice delivered pursuant to Section 4.04.

Section 4.03. Selection of Bonds to Be Redeemed. Except as provided in the Bonds, if fewer than all the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed, the Trustee will select the Bonds to be redeemed by lot, except that the Trustee will first select any Bonds owned by the Company or any of its nominees or held by the Trustee for the account of the Company or any of its nominees. The Trustee will make the selection from Bonds not previously called for redemption. For this purpose, the Trustee will consider each Bond in a denomination larger than the minimum denomination permitted by the Bonds at the time to be separate Bonds each in the minimum denomination. Provisions of this Agreement that apply to Bonds called for redemption also apply to portions of Bonds called for redemption.

Section 4.04. Redemption Notices.

(a) Official Notice of Redemption. The Trustee will give notice of each redemption as provided in the Bonds and will at the same time give a copy of the notice to the Remarketing Agent, the Auction Agent, the Bond Insurer and each Broker-Dealer, as applicable. The notice shall identify the Bonds to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers) and shall state (1) the redemption date (and, if the Bonds provide that accrued interest will not be paid on the redemption date, the date it will be paid), (2) the redemption price, (3) that the Bonds called for redemption must be surrendered to collect the redemption price, (4) the address at which the Bonds must be surrendered and (5) that interest on the Bonds called for redemption ceases to accrue on the redemption date.

With respect to an optional redemption of any Bonds under “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period,” “Extraordinary Optional Redemption,” “Optional Redemption During Daily or Weekly Rate Period” or “Optional Redemption During ARS Rate Period” in paragraph 9 of the form of the Bonds, unless moneys sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds to be redeemed shall have been received by the Trustee prior to the giving of such notice of redemption, such notice may state that said redemption shall be conditional upon the receipt of such moneys by the Trustee on or prior to the date fixed for redemption. If such moneys are not received, such notice shall be of no force and effect, such Bonds shall not be redeemed, the redemption price shall not be due and payable and the Trustee shall give notice, in the same manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such moneys were not so received and that such Bonds will not be redeemed.

Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Bonds or any defect therein will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Bonds in respect of which no such failure or defect has occurred. Any notice mailed as provided in the Bonds shall be effective when sent and will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by any holder.

(b) Additional Notice of Redemption. In addition to the redemption notice required above, further notice (the “Additional Redemption Notice”) shall be given by the Trustee as set out below. No defect in the Additional Redemption Notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of the Additional Redemption Notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice is given as prescribed in paragraph (a) above.

(1) Each Additional Redemption Notice shall contain the information required in paragraph (a) above for an official notice of redemption plus (i) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being redeemed; (ii) the date of the Bonds as originally issued; (iii) the Determination Method for, or the rate of interest borne by, each Bond being redeemed; (iv) the maturity date of each Bond being redeemed; and (v) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being redeemed.

(2) Each Additional Redemption Notice shall be sent at least 30 days before the redemption date by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery service (or by such other means as the Trustee may have established with the Securities Depository or any information service) to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations similar to the Bonds (such depository now being The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York) and to one or more national information services that disseminate notices of redemption of obligations such as the Bonds.

The information required in any redemption notice (including an Additional Redemption Notice) pursuant to this Section and the information required in any notice of tender (including an Additional Tender Notice, as hereinafter defined) may be combined in a single notice if it is sent to Bondholders in the manner and at the time specified under “Notice of Redemption” in paragraph 9 of the form of the Bonds.

Any redemption notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of “CUSIP” numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

If any Bonds which bear interest at an Auction Period Rate are to be redeemed in part and such Bonds are held by a Securities Depository, the Trustee shall include in the notice of the call for redemption delivered to the Securities Depository (i) a date placed under an item entitled “Publication Date for Securities Depository Purposes” and such date shall be three Business Days after the Auction Date immediately preceding such redemption date and (ii) an instruction to the Securities Depository to (x) determine on such Publication Date after the Auction held on the immediately preceding Auction Date has settled, the Securities Depository Participants whose Securities Depository positions shall be redeemed and the principal amount of such Auction Rate Bonds to be redeemed from each such position (the “Securities Depository Redemption Information”), and (y) notify the Auction Agent immediately after such determination of (1) the positions of the Securities Depository Participants in such Bonds immediately prior to such Auction settlement, (2) the position of the Securities Depository Participants in such Auction Period Rate Bonds immediately following such Auction settlement, and (3) the Securities Depository Redemption Information. The Trustee shall send a copy of such notice to the Auction Agent.

Upon surrender to the Trustee, Bonds called for redemption shall be paid as provided in this Article at the redemption price (including premium, if any) stated in the notice, plus interest accrued to the redemption date, or at a purchase price as provided in the form of Bond. Bonds called for redemption and purchased pursuant to a tender before the redemption date will not be redeemed but will be dealt with as provided below in this Article.

Section 4.05. Bonds Redeemed in Part. Subject to ARTICLE VI, upon surrender of a Bond redeemed in part, the Trustee will authenticate for the holder a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

Section 4.06. Mandatory Tender.

(a) Mandatory Tender of Bonds. The Bonds are subject to mandatory tender as provided in paragraph 7 of the form of the Bonds.

(b) Notice to Bondholders of Change in Interest Rate Determination Method. When a change in the Determination Method is to be made or upon commencement of a new Long-Term Interest Rate Period for any series of Bonds, the Trustee will, upon notice from the Company pursuant to Section 3.02(b), notify the Bondholders of such series by first class mail at least 15 days before the effective date of the change or the commencement of a new Long-Term Interest Rate Period, except that (i) such notice shall be given at least 30 days prior to the effective date if a Long-Term Interest Rate Period is in effect and the effective date is before the end of the Long-Term Interest Rate Period and (ii) no notice shall be given with respect to a tender under “Mandatory Tender on Each Interest Payment Date During Commercial Paper Mode” in paragraph 7 of the form of the Bonds. The notice shall be effective when sent and shall state:

(1) the purchase date;

(2) the Purchase Price;

(3) that the Bonds to be tendered must be surrendered to collect the Purchase Price;

(4) the address at which or the manner in which the Bonds must be surrendered;

(5) that interest on the Bonds to be tendered ceases to accrue to such holder on the purchase date and such holder will be entitled only to the Purchase Price on the purchase date;

(6) that the interest rate determination method will be changed;

(7) the proposed effective date of the new rate;

(8) that a mandatory tender will result on the effective date of the change as provided in the Bonds; and

(9) any conditions precedent to such change and that, if such conditions are not satisfied, the Bonds will continue to bear interest in accordance with the then current method.

Failure to give any required notice of tender as to any particular Bonds or any defect therein will not affect the validity of the tender of any Bonds in respect of which no such failure or defect has occurred. Any notice mailed as provided in the Bonds shall be effective when sent and will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by any holder.

(c) Additional Notice of Tender. In addition to the tender notice required above, further notice (the “Additional Tender Notice”) shall be given by the Trustee as set out below. No defect in the Additional Tender Notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of the Additional Tender Notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a tender notice if notice is given as prescribed in paragraph (b) above.

(1) Each Additional Tender Notice shall contain the information required in paragraph (c) above for an official notice of tender plus (i) the CUSIP numbers of all Bonds being tendered; (ii) the date of the Bonds as originally issued; (iii) the maturity date of each Bond being purchased; and (iv) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the Bonds being purchased.

(2) Each Additional Tender Notice shall be sent at least 15 days before the purchase date by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery service (or by such other means as the Trustee may have established with the Securities Depository or any information service) to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations similar to the Bonds (such depository now being The Depository Trust Company of New York, New York) and to one or more national information services that disseminate notices of purchase of obligations such as the Bonds.

The information required in any tender notice (including an Additional Tender Notice) pursuant to this Section and the information required in any redemption notice (including an Additional Redemption Notice) may be combined in a single notice if it is sent to Bondholders in the manner and at the time specified under “Notice of Tender” in paragraph 7 of the form of the Bonds.

Section 4.07. Source of Funds for Purchase of Bonds. Funds for the payment of the Purchase Price of tendered Bonds shall be derived solely from the following sources in the order of priority indicated and neither the Trustee nor the Remarketing Agent shall be obligated to provide funds from any other source:

(a) proceeds of the remarketing of Bonds to persons other than the Company, the affiliates of the Company and the Authority and furnished immediately to the Trustee by the Remarketing Agent and deposited directly into and held continuously in, the Remarketing Proceeds Account; and

(b) money provided by the Company or otherwise available for the payment of the purchase price, and proceeds from the investment thereof.

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM

Section 6.01. Book-Entry System. The Bonds shall be initially issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for The Depository Trust Company as the initial Securities Depository and registered owner of such Bonds, and held in the custody of the Securities Depository. A single certificate will be issued and delivered to the Securities Depository, or a custodian thereof, for each series of Bonds. The Beneficial Owners will not receive physical delivery of Bond certificates except as provided herein. For so long as the Securities Depository shall continue to serve as securities depository for such Bonds as provided herein, all transfers of beneficial ownership interests will be made by book-entry only on the records of the Securities Depository, and no investor or other party purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring beneficial ownership of such Bonds is to receive, hold or deliver any Bond certificate. The Authority, the Company and the Trustee will recognize the Securities Depository or its nominee as the Bondholder of such Bonds for all purposes, including payment, notices and voting.

The Authority and the Trustee covenant and agree, so long as The Depository Trust Company shall continue to serve as Securities Depository for the Bonds, to meet the requirements of The Depository Trust Company with respect to required notices and other provisions of any Letter of Representations executed with respect to, or any Blanket Letter of Representations applicable to, the Bonds.

The Authority, the Trustee, the Company and the Remarketing Agent may conclusively rely upon (i) a certificate of the Securities Depository as to the identity of the Participants in the Book-Entry-System and (ii) a certificate of any such Participant as to the identity of, and the respective principal amount of Bonds beneficially owned by, the Beneficial Owners.

Whenever, during the term of the Bonds, the beneficial ownership thereof is determined by a book-entry at the Securities Depository, the requirements in this Agreement of holding, delivering or transferring Bonds shall be deemed modified to require the appropriate person to meet the requirements of the Securities Depository as to registering or registering the transfer of the book-entry to produce the same effect. Any provision hereof permitting or requiring delivery of Bonds shall, while the Bonds are in a Book-Entry System, be satisfied by the notation on the books of the Securities Depository in accordance with applicable law.

The Trustee and the Authority, at the direction and expense of the Company and with the consent of the Remarketing Agent, may from time to time appoint a successor Securities Depository and enter into an agreement with such successor Securities Depository to establish procedures with respect to the Bonds consistent with current industry practice. Any successor Securities Depository shall be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

None of the Authority, the Company, the Trustee, any Broker-Dealer nor the Remarketing Agent will have any responsibility or obligation to any Securities Depository, any Participants in the Book-Entry System or the Beneficial Owners with respect to (i) the accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities Depository or any Participant; (ii) the payment by the Securities Depository or by any Participant of any amount due to any Beneficial Owner in respect of the principal amount or redemption or purchase price of, or interest on, any Bonds; (iii) the delivery of any notice by the Securities Depository or any Participant; (iv) the selection of the Beneficial Owners to receive payment in the event of any partial redemption of the Bonds; or (v) any other action taken by the Securities Depository or any Participant.

Bond certificates are required to be delivered to and registered in the name of the Beneficial Owner if the Securities Depository determines to discontinue providing its service with respect to the Bonds and no successor Securities Depository is appointed as described above. Such a determination may be made at any time by giving 30 days’ notice to the Authority, the Company, the Auction Agent, the Remarketing Agent and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to make such changes to the form of bond attached hereto as Exhibit B which are necessary or appropriate to reflect that the Book-Entry System is not in effect, that a successor Securities Depository has been appointed or that an additional or co-paying agent or tender agent has been designated pursuant to Section 11.14.

If at any time, the Securities Depository ceases to hold the Bonds, all references herein to the Securities Depository shall be of no further force or effect.

(a) Until such time as the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or deemed to have been paid as provided pursuant to Section 13.01 of this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law, the Company’s obligations under this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional, free of deductions and without any abatement, offset, recoupment, diminution or set-off whatsoever, and the Company (i) will not suspend or discontinue payment of any amounts required to be paid by it hereunder, (ii) will perform and observe all of its other agreements contained in this Agreement, (iii) will not knowingly take or authorize or permit, to the extent such action is within the control of the Company, any action with respect to the Project, the proceeds of the Bonds or any insurance, condemnation or other proceeds derived directly or indirectly in connection with the Project, which will result in the loss of the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from federal gross income, and (iv) except as permitted by this Agreement, will not terminate this Agreement for any cause, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the occurrence of any act or circumstance that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of or damage to the Project, commercial frustration of purpose, any change in the tax or other laws of the United States of America or of the State or any political subdivision of either of them, any failure of the Authority or the Trustee to perform or observe any agreement, whether express or implied, or any duty, liability or obligation arising out of or connected with this Agreement, or arising out of any indebtedness or liability at any time owing to the Company by the Authority or the Trustee.

(b) Nothing contained in this Section will be construed to release the Authority from the performance of any of the agreements on its part herein contained; and in the event the Authority should fail to perform any such agreement on its part, the Company may institute such action against the Authority as the Company may deem necessary to compel performance of the

Authority hereunder so long as such action shall not violate the agreements on the part of the Company contained in Section 8.04 or diminish the amounts required to be paid by the Company under this Agreement. The Company may also, at its own cost and expense and in its own name or in the name of the Authority, prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take any other action involving third persons which the Company deems reasonably necessary in order to secure or protect its right of possession, occupancy and use hereunder, and in such event the Authority hereby agrees to cooperate fully with the Company and, at the Company’s expense, to take all action necessary to effect the substitution of the Company for the Authority in any action or proceeding if the Company shall so request.

Section 8.07. Arbitrage Bonds. The Company will comply in all respects with the requirements of Section 148 of the Code as it relates to the Bonds. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall pay to the United States any rebate that may be due with respect to the Bonds under Section 148(f) of the Code and any regulations promulgated thereunder.

DEFAULT AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

Section 10.01. Events of Default. If any of the following events occur, it is hereby declared to constitute an “Event of Default”; provided that, in determining whether an Event of Default has occurred under paragraph (a) or (b), no effect shall be given to payments made on the Bonds pursuant to the Bond Insurance Policy:

(a) Default in the due and punctual payment of interest on any Bond;

(b) Default in the due and punctual payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, on any Bond, whether at the stated maturity thereof, redemption thereof pursuant to Section 4.01, or upon the acceleration thereof;

(c) Default in the due and punctual payment of the purchase price of any Bond required to be purchased in accordance with its terms;

(d) First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered in connection with the Bonds and a “default” as defined in Section 12.01 of the First Mortgage shall have occurred and be continuing;

(e) A trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official or agent shall be appointed for the Company or for any substantial part of its property and such trustee or receiver shall not be discharged within sixty (60) days;

(f) The Company shall commence a voluntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws, or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall apply for, consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of, or taking possession by, a trustee, receiver, custodian or similar official or agent for itself or any substantial part of its property;

(g) The Company shall have an order or decree for relief in an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws entered against it, or a petition seeking reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition, or other similar relief as to it under the federal bankruptcy laws or any similar law for the relief of debtors shall be brought against it and shall be consented to by it or shall remain undismissed for sixty (60) days;

(h) An “Event of Default” as defined in the Insurance Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing; or

(i) The Company or the Authority shall fail to observe or perform in any material way any covenant, condition, agreement or provision contained in the Bonds or in this Agreement on the part of the Company or the Authority to be performed other than those set forth in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g) or (h) of this Section, and such failure shall continue for ninety (90) days after written notice specifying such failure and requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to the Company and the Authority by the Trustee, which notice may be given by the Trustee in its discretion and shall be given by the Trustee at the written request of the holders of not less than twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding, unless the Trustee and Bondholders of a principal amount of Bonds not less than the principal amount of the Bonds the Bondholders of which requested such notice, as the case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its expiration; provided however, that the Trustee and the Bondholders of such principal amount of Bonds, as the case may be, shall be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by the Authority or the Company on behalf of the Authority within such period and is being diligently pursued.

Section 10.02. Acceleration. Subject to the rights of the Bond Insurer set forth in Section 10.03 and Section 12.04, upon the occurrence and continuance of any Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (h) or (i) of the preceding paragraph and further upon the condition that if any First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered, all first mortgage bonds outstanding under the First Mortgage shall have become immediately due and payable in accordance with the terms of the First Mortgage, the Trustee may, and at the written request of Bondholders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall, by written notice to the Authority and to the Company declare the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, whereupon, and upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as specified in clause (f) or (g) of the preceding paragraph without any further notice or action by the Trustee or the Authority, the Bonds shall, without further action, become and be immediately due and payable, any provisions hereof or the Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding, and the Trustee shall give notice of acceleration to the Authority, and shall give notice thereof by mail to the Bondholders.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph, however, are subject to the condition that if, after the principal of the Bonds shall have been so declared to be due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company or the Authority shall cause to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Bonds and the principal of any and all Bonds which shall have become due otherwise than by reason of such declaration (with interest upon such principal and, to the extent permissible by law, on overdue installments of interest, at the rate per annum specified herein) and such amounts as shall be sufficient to

cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee and any paying agent, tender agent and registrar, and all Events of Default hereunder other than nonpayment of the principal of Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration shall have been remedied, then, in every such case, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded and annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment to the Authority and the Company, and shall give notice thereof to the Bondholders; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon; provided, however, that if any First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered in connection with the Bonds, any waiver of “default” under the First Mortgage and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default under this Agreement and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission and annulment to the Authority and the Company, and notice to the Bondholders in the same manner as a notice of redemption under Section 4.04; but no such waiver, rescission and annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.

Section 10.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Bonds or this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, so long as the Policy is in full force and effect and the Bond Insurer is not in default thereunder, the Bond Insurer shall be deemed to be the sole owner of all the Bonds with respect to the remedies and granting of waivers herein.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Bonds or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Bondholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative.

Section 10.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to the rights of the Bond Insurer set forth in Section 10.03 and Section 12.04, a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Event of Default and its consequences. When an Event of Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent to it.

Section 10.05. Control by Majority. Subject to the rights of the Bond Insurer, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on it. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Agreement or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Bondholders or if the Trustee has not been indemnified pursuant to Section 11.01(k)

Section 10.06. Limitation on Suits. A Bondholder may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Agreement or the Bonds unless (a) the Bondholder gives the Trustee notice stating

that an Event of Default is continuing, (b) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Bonds make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (c) such Bondholder or Bondholders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity and (e) with respect to the Bonds, the Policy is not in effect or the Bond Insurer has defaulted in its obligations under the Policy.

Section 10.07. Rights of Bondholders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the right of any Bondholder to receive payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on a Bond, on or after the due dates expressed in the Bond, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Bondholder.

Section 10.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default under paragraph (a), (b), (c) or (h) of Section 10.01 occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust (but only from the sources provided herein, including without limitation, the limitations under Section 9.03 hereof) for the whole amount remaining unpaid.

Section 10.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Bondholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Company or the Bond Insurer, their creditors or property and, unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Bondholders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions.

Section 10.10. Priorities. As contemplated by and provided for in this Agreement, funds drawn under the Bond Insurance Policy will be used only for the payment of principal of and interest on the Bonds, as provided in the Bond Insurance Policy. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article or if any moneys shall be on deposit in the Bond Fund at the time of the acceleration of the Bonds pursuant to Section 10.02 or shall be deposited into the Bond Fund as a result of such an acceleration, it shall pay out such moneys in the following order: first, to the Trustee for amounts to which it is entitled under Section 11.02 (provided, that if such money constitutes proceeds from the Bond Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall only use such proceeds to pay the holders of the Bonds); second, to holders for amounts due and unpaid on the Bonds for principal, premium and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on the Bonds for principal, premium and interest, respectively; third, to the Bond Insurer to the extent it certifies that moneys are owed to it under the Insurance Agreement; and fourth, to the Company. The Trustee may fix a payment date for any payment to the Bondholders.

Section 10.11. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Agreement or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit of an undertaking to pay the cost of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Bondholder pursuant to Section 10.06 or a suit by holders of more than 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding.

Section 10.12. Payment Procedures under Bond Insurance Policy. So long as the Bond Insurance Policy shall be in full force and effect and no default has occurred and is occurring thereunder, the Trustee shall comply with the following provisions:

(a) If, on any Interest Payment Date for the Bonds there is not on deposit with the Trustee sufficient moneys available to pay all principal of and interest on the Bonds due on such date, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Bond Insurer and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, New York, New York or its successor as its Fiscal Agent (the “Fiscal Agent”) of the amount of such deficiency. If, by said Interest Payment Date, the Company has not provided the amount of such deficiency, the Trustee shall simultaneously make available to the Bond Insurer and to the Fiscal Agent the registration books for the Bonds maintained by the Trustee. In addition:

(1) The Trustee shall provide the Bond Insurer with a list of the Bondholders entitled to receive principal or interest payments from the Bond Insurer under the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy and shall make arrangements for the Bond Insurer and its Fiscal Agent (i) to mail checks or drafts to Bondholders entitled to receive full or partial interest payments from the Bond Insurer and (ii) to pay principal of the Bonds surrendered to the Fiscal Agent by the Bondholders entitled to receive full or partial principal payments from the Bond Insurer; and

(2) The Trustee shall, at the time it makes the registration books available to the Bond Insurer pursuant to (1) above, notify Bondholders entitled to receive the payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds from the Bond Insurer (i) as to the fact of such entitlement, (ii) that the Bond Insurer will remit to them all or part of the interest payments coming due subject to the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy, (iii) that, except as provided in paragraph (b) below, in the event that any Bondholder is entitled to receive full payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, such Bondholder must tender his Bond with the instrument of transfer in the form provided on the Bond executed in the name of the Bond Insurer, and (iv) that, except as provided in paragraph (b) below, in the event that such Bondholder is entitled to receive partial payment of principal from the Bond Insurer, such Bondholder must tender his Bond for payment first to the Trustee, which shall note on such Bond the portion of principal paid by the Trustee, and then, with an acceptable form of assignment executed in the name of the Bond Insurer, to the Fiscal Agent, which will then pay the unpaid portion of principal to the Bondholder subject to the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy.

(b) In the event that the Trustee has notice that any payment of principal of or interest on a Bond has been recovered from a Bondholder pursuant to the United States Bankruptcy Code by a trustee in bankruptcy in accordance with the final, nonappealable order of a court having competent jurisdiction, the Trustee shall, at the time it provides notice to the Bond Insurer, notify all Bondholders that in the event that any Bondholder’s payment is so recovered, such Bondholder will be entitled to payment from the Bond Insurer to the extent of such recovery, and the Trustee shall furnish to the Bond Insurer its records evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on the Bonds which have been made by the Trustee and subsequently recovered from Bondholders, and the dates on which such payments were made.

(c) The Bond Insurer shall, to the extent it makes payment of principal of or interest on the Bonds, become subrogated to the rights of the recipients of such payments in accordance with the terms of the Bond Insurance Policy and, to evidence such subrogation, (i) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due interest, the Trustee shall note the Bond Insurer’s rights as subrogee on the registration books maintained by the Trustee upon receipt from the Bond Insurer of proof of the payment of interest thereon to the Bondholders of such Bonds and (ii) in the case of subrogation as to claims for past due principal, the Trustee shall note the Bond Insurer’s rights as subrogee on the registration books for the Bonds maintained by the Trustee upon receipt of proof of the payment of principal thereof to the Bondholders of such Bonds. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement or the Bonds to the contrary, the Trustee shall make payment of such past due interest and past due principal directly to the Bond Insurer to the extent that the Bond Insurer is a subrogee with respect thereto.

Section 10.13. Agreement To Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event the Company should default under any of the provisions of this Agreement or the First Mortgage if any First Mortgage Bonds shall have been delivered to the Trustee and the Authority should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of any amounts due from the Company hereunder or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement of the Company herein contained, the Company agrees that it will on demand therefor pay to the Authority the reasonable fees and expenses of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so incurred by the Authority.

Section 10.14. Remedies in Article X in Addition to Remedies in the First Mortgage. The remedies conferred in this Article shall be in addition to any remedies available to the Trustee as holder of the First Mortgage Bonds, if any, under the First Mortgage.

ARTICLE XI

THE TRUSTEE, THE REMARKETING AGENT AND THE AUCTION AGENT

Section 11.01. Conditions of Trust. The Trustee (which term shall be deemed to include for purposes of this Section 11.01 the paying agent and registrar, unless the context otherwise requires) hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Agreement, and agrees to perform said trusts, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions:

(a) The Trustee may execute any of the obligations or powers hereof and perform any of its duties either directly or by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any attorney, agent, receiver or employee appointed with due care by it hereunder.

(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection concerning all matters of trust hereof and duties hereunder, and the written advice of such counsel or any opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

(c) The Trustee shall not be responsible for, nor have any liability with respect to, any recital herein or in the Bonds (except in respect of the certificate of the Trustee endorsed on the

Bonds), the validity of this Agreement or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, the maintenance, validity or sufficiency of the security for the Bonds issued hereunder or intended to be secured hereby, or any lien or property to be created hereby, but the Trustee may require of the Authority or the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements aforesaid.

(d) The Trustee shall not be accountable for, or have any liability with respect to, the use of any Bonds authenticated or delivered hereunder after such Bonds shall have been delivered in accordance with instructions of the Authority. The Trustee may become the owner of Bonds secured hereby with the same rights that it would have if it were not the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee shall be fully protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Agreement upon the request or authority or consent of any person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond or portions thereof and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or for portions thereof or in place thereof.

(f) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the Authority signed by an Authority Representative or any certificate of the Company signed by a Company Representative as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained, and prior to the occurrence of a default of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in subsection (h) of this section, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, the Trustee shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the Secretary of the Authority under its seal to the effect that a resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect.

(g) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Agreement shall not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct. After the occurrence and during the continuance of a default hereunder, in the exercise of such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, the Trustee shall use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person’s own affairs.

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder except (i) failure by the Authority to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Article V hereof and (ii) default of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Authority or by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding; and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid. For the purposes hereof, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge of any default or Event of Default unless a

trust officer, assistant trust officer or other person charged with the administration of the obligations of the Trustee hereunder shall during the course of his duties have actual knowledge thereof.

(i) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any debts contracted or for damages to persons or to personal property injured or damaged or for salaries or nonfulfillment of contracts during any period in which it may be in the possession of or managing the real and tangible personal property as in this Agreement provided.

(j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises.

(k) No provision of this Agreement shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense, but the Trustee shall not require indemnity as a condition to making payment on the Bonds, provided that moneys are available for such purpose in the Bond Fund, or declaring the principal of and interest on the Bonds to be due immediately under Section 10.02, or requesting payment under the Bond Insurance Policy, or with respect to its duties under Section 5.07.

(l) All money received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which it was received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by this Agreement or by law.

(m) The Trustee shall not be bound to make an investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine during normal business hours and upon reasonable notice the books, records and premises of the Authority, personally or by agent or by attorney.

(n) In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

Section 11.02. Reimbursement of Administrative Expenses.

(a) The Trustee, any paying agent, tender agent and registrar shall be entitled to payment and/or reimbursement for Administrative Expenses, including such fees as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for their services rendered hereunder and all advances, counsel fees and other expenses reasonably and necessarily made or incurred by them in connection with such services under this Agreement. The Trustee and any paying

agent shall be entitled to payment and reimbursement for their reasonable fees and charges as paying agents for the Bonds as hereinabove provided. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, but only upon an Event of Default, the Trustee and any paying agent shall have a first lien with right of payment prior to payment on account of interest or principal of any Bond for the foregoing advances, fees, costs and expenses incurred by them, respectively, or any indemnification due, on moneys held by the Trustee hereunder, other than moneys held for the payment of Bonds which are deemed to have been purchased or paid (including payment upon acceleration of maturity) under the terms of this Agreement.

(b) All fees, charges and other compensation to which the Trustee, any paying agent, tender agent or registrar may be entitled under the provisions of this Agreement are required to be paid by the Company, and, accordingly, the Authority shall not be liable in any respect to indemnify such entities for fees, charges and other compensation to which they may be entitled and, by acceptance of the trusts hereunder, each entity shall be deemed to have agreed to the foregoing.

Electrostatic Precipitator

Particulate control for Big Bend Unit No. 4 will be accomplished by the use of a rigid frame electrostatic precipitator. The Precipitator is designed for a 99.7+% particulate removal efficiency and includes the following associated equipment: ductwork and breaching, structural steel, foundations, pilings, hoppers/hopper heat tracing and electrical power and control devices.

A-1

Precipitator Flyash Storage Silo

This silo is a cylindrical tank supported by structural steel columns. The associated equipment includes bag filter, vent controls, weigh scale, pumps, supporting structural steel, foundations and piling.

Storage Ponds

Earthen storage ponds with dikes to a maximum elevation of 35 feet will be provided for the storage of flyash in the event flyash cannot be marketed. These ponds will be lined to protect the ground water systems from leachate.

Piping

This item consists of the necessary piping, pumps and controls to convey the precipitator flyash from the precipitator hoppers by way of a dry vacuum system to the flyash silo. From dry flyash silo, flyash is transported wet by way of piping to the above noted flyash storage ponds.

Bottom Ash Removal

Hoppers

Steel hoppers collect ash which falls out the bottom of the pulverized fuel furnace. Included with the bottom ash hopper are the necessary structural steel supports, foundations, pilings and associated electrical controls.

Ponds

Bottom ash storage ponds are provided for storage of the collected bottom ash. The initial or primary settling pond receives the water from the ash hoppers. This water is then decanted and recycled to the plant for reuse. After the primary ponds are filled, they will be hydraulically dredged to a more permanent long-term storage pond. The primary decanting or settling receiving ponds will be lined; the larger more permanent bottom ash storage pond will be unlined.

Piping

This item includes the necessary piping to sluice the bottom ash slurry from the hoppers to the bottom ash receiving ponds. Also included are the piping and pumps required to return the water to the plant for reuse in this ash system.

A-2

Flue Gas Desulfurization System (FGD System)

Description of System

The type of FGD System selected for Big Bend Unit No. 4 is a two stage forced oxidation limestone regenerable system designed to have an efficiency between eighty-five to ninety percent (85%-90%). The FGD System consists of three (3) modules with one (1) spare. The modules will consist of booster fans, quenchers, absorbers, absorber feed tank, associated piping and pumps. Reheat fans and a reheater are provided to reheat the exiting gas flow from the FGD System to provide the necessary buoyancy and drying requirements for the exiting stack gas.

Limestone Preparation

Included with the FGD System are the raw limestone facilities required for receiving, unloading, grinding, preparation and transfer of limestone to the FGD System proper. The limestone unloading and handling system includes all necessary controls, structural supports, foundations and piling required.

FGD Waste Handling

Another major portion of the FGD System is the waste handling facility. This system includes a building which houses the necessary dewatering, separation, treatment equipment and is for processing the gypsum waste from the FGD System, plus transfer facilities for moving the gypsum from the waste handling building to the on-site storage area. This area includes a stacking system and the necessary ponding and containment ditches for the gypsum pile runoff.

Liquid Waste Treatment

The waste treatment system for Big Bend Unit No. 4 will be an extension of the existing waste treatment systems for Big Bend Unit Nos. 1, 2 and 3. The floor drains are collected and transferred to a common reinforced concrete transfer pump with all necessary pumping and piping and then transported to an existing settling pond before return to the plant for use as recycle water for equipment wash down.

Fine Mesh Screens

Fine mesh traveling water screens and associated equipment will be installed in the circulating water system to remove small marine organisms from the circulating water system. The caught organisms will be collected with a low pressure screenwash and returned via a flume to Tampa Bay.

Sanitary Waste Streams

Additional sanitary water treatment capacity will be installed with Unit No 4. The discharge from this system will be piped to the waste water transfer pump described above.

A-3

Coal Pile Runoff System Modifications

The existing coal pile runoff collection system will be modified so as to collect the runoff from the extended and modified coal handling and blending system. The collected runoff water will be monitored prior to returning this water to the bay.

Dust Suppression Equipment

Dust suppression equipment will be provided at all major transfer points in the newly installed coal handling and blending system. This suppression equipment will consist of either water sprays and/or vacuum type bag filters. A dust suppression system will also be included in the tripper room over the top of the blending bins.

The Project also consists of certain pollution control facilities located at the Unit Nos. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the F. J. Gannon Station of Tampa Electric Company in Hillsborough County, Florida, more particularly described as follows:

B.	Flyash Silo

The silo is a cylindrical tank supported by structural steel columns. Associated equipment and controls include bag filter type vent, fluidizing blowers, ash loading chute dust exhauster, control panels, truck platform weighing scale and blowers.

Piping

This item includes all necessary piping to transport the flyash pneumatically and dry from the precipitator hopper to the silo and from the silo back to the boiler for reinjection if and when required.

D.	Accessory Electrical Equipment

This item includes all accessory electrical equipment required to supply electrical power to the above noted pollution control equipment.

E.	Coal Pile Runoff System Modifications

The previously existing Coal Pile Runoff Collection System was modified so as to collect the runoff from the extended and modified coal handling system. The collected runoff water is pumped into the waste water treatment system.

A-4

F.	Dust Suppression Equipment

Dust suppression equipment consists of water sprays and/or vacuum type bag filters in the areas of the fine crusher house and a transfer structure at the expanded coal yard facilities.

G.	Bottom Ash Handling Equipment

This system includes slag tanks, pumps, high pressure saltwater piping, abrasive-resistant ash piping, and controls necessary to collect the slag and pump it, as a sluice, to the dewatering bins.

H.	Saltwater Treatment Facilities

The existing saltwater ponds were combined with freshwater ponds to form one large once-through saltwater pond to handle the increased input flow, requiring the removal of transmission poles and a dike and the construction of a new dike.

The Project also includes facilities for the collection, processing, storage, treatment and disposal or recycling of various solid wastes and sewage and heated water associated with the Company’s Big Bend Station located in Apollo Beach, Hillsborough County, Florida and the Gannon Station located in Tampa, Hillsborough County, Florida. In general, these wastes include fly ash particulates, bottom ash/slag, economizer ash, pyrites, spent demineralizer/polisher resins, flue gas desulfurization scrubber waste, coal pile runoff and sewage.

The Interest Payment Date with respect to a daily Auction Period shall be the first Business Day of the month immediately succeeding such Auction Period. The Interest Payment Date with respect to a Flexible Auction Period of (i) seven or more but fewer than 183 days shall be the Business Day immediately following such Flexible Auction Period, or (ii) 183 or more days shall be each semiannual date on which interest on the Bonds would be payable if such Bonds bore interest at a fixed rate of interest and on the Business Day immediately following such Flexible Auction Period.

5. Method of Payment. Holders must surrender Bonds to the Trustee to collect principal at maturity or upon redemption. (See “Optional Tenders” and “Mandatory Tender for Purchase” below for the payment of purchase price of tendered Bonds.) Interest on Bonds bearing interest at a Commercial Paper Rate (other than Bonds in the Book Entry System) is payable only upon presentation of such Bonds to the Trustee. Interest on Bonds bearing interest at a Daily, Weekly, Auction Mode or Long-Term Interest Rate (other than Bonds in the Book-Entry System) will be paid to the registered holder as of the Record Date by check mailed by first class mail on the Interest Payment Date to such holder’s registered address. A holder of $1,000,000 or more in principal amount of Bonds may be paid interest at a Daily, Weekly, Auction Mode or Commercial Paper Rate by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account in the continental United States if the holder makes a written request of the Trustee (in form satisfactory to the Trustee) at least two Business Days before the Record Date specifying the account address. The notice may provide that it will remain in effect for later interest payments until changed or revoked by another written notice. Principal and interest will be paid in money of the United States that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts or by checks or wire transfers payable in such money. If any payment on the Bonds is due on a non-Business Day, it will be made on the next Business Day, and no interest will accrue as a result.

6. Optional Tenders. “Tender” means to require, or the act of requiring, the Trustee to purchase a Bond at the holder’s option under the provisions of this paragraph 6 at 100% of the principal amount plus interest accrued to (but excluding) the date of purchase. While the Bonds bear interest at a Long-Term Interest Rate, a Commercial Paper Rate or an Auction Period Rate, the owner of a Bond does not have the option to require the Trustee to purchase its Bond.

Daily Rate Tender. When interest on the Bonds of series is payable at a Daily Rate and a Book-Entry System is in effect, a Beneficial Owner (through its direct Participant in the Securities Depository) may tender its interest in a Bond (or portion of Bond) of such series by delivering an irrevocable written notice by telecopy, facsimile transmission or e-mail transmission to the Trustee (any such notice to be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee) and an irrevocable notice by telephone, telegraph or facsimile transmission to the Remarketing Agent, in each case prior to 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on a Business Day, stating the principal amount of the Bond (or portion of Bond) being tendered, payment instructions for the purchase price and the Business Day (which may be the date the notice is delivered) the Bond (or portion of Bond) is to be purchased. The Beneficial Owner shall effect delivery of such Bond by causing such direct Participant to transfer its interest in the Bond equal to such Beneficial Owner’s interest on the records of the Securities Depository to the participant account of the Trustee with the Securities Depository. Any notice received by the Trustee after 11:00 a.m., New York City time, shall be deemed to have been given on the next Business Day.

When interest on the Bonds of a series is payable at a Daily Rate and a Book Entry System is not in effect, a holder of a Bond of such series may tender the Bond (or portion of Bond) by delivering the notices as described above (which shall include the certificate number of the Bond), and shall also deliver the Bond to the Trustee by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of purchase (see additional requirements below).

B-5

Weekly Rate Tender. When interest on the Bonds of a series is payable at a Weekly Rate and a Book-Entry System is in effect, a Beneficial Owner (through its direct Participant in the Securities Depository) may tender his interest in a Bond (or portion of Bond) of such series by delivering an irrevocable written notice by telecopy, facsimile transmission or e-mail transmission to the Trustee (any such notice to be delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee) and an irrevocable notice by telephone, telegraph or facsimile transmission to the Remarketing Agent, in each case prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Business Day stating the principal amount of the Bond (or portion of Bond) being tendered, payment instructions for the purchase price and the date, which must be a Business Day at least seven days after the notice is delivered, on which the Bond (or portion of Bond) is to be purchased. The Beneficial Owner shall effect delivery of such Bond by causing such direct Participant to transfer its interest in the Bond equal to such Beneficial Owner’s interest on the records of the Securities Depository to the participant account of the Trustee or its agent with the Securities Depository.

When interest on the Bonds of a series is payable at a Weekly Rate and a Book-Entry System is not in effect, a holder of a Bond of such series may tender the Bond (or portion of Bond) by delivering the notices as described above (which shall include the certificate number of the Bond), and shall also deliver the Bond to the Trustee by 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of purchase (see additional requirements below).

Payment of Purchase Price. The purchase price for a Bond tendered under this paragraph 6 or under paragraph 7 “Mandatory Tender for Purchase” will be paid in immediately available funds to the registered owner of the Bond by 4:00 p.m., New York City time, on the date of purchase. No purchase of Bonds by the Trustee shall be deemed to be a payment or redemption of the Bonds or of any portion thereof and such purchase will not operate to extinguish or discharge the indebtedness evidenced by such Bonds.

7. Mandatory Tender for Purchase. As provided below, the Bonds are subject to mandatory tender for purchase under certain circumstances. BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS BOND, THE OWNER AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND, PROPERLY ENDORSED, UNDER THE CONDITIONS DESCRIBED BELOW. All purchases will be made in funds immediately available on the purchase date and will be at the Purchase Price. Bonds tendered for purchase on a date after a call for redemption but before the redemption date will be purchased pursuant to the tender. No purchase of Bonds shall be deemed to be a payment or redemption of the Bonds or of any portion thereof and such purchase will not operate to extinguish or discharge the indebtedness evidenced by such Bonds.

Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period. When the Bonds of a series bear interest at a Long-Term Interest Rate and a new Long-Term Interest Rate is to be determined, the Bonds of such series will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the effective date of the new Long-Term Interest Rate. In the case of a change prior to the day originally established as the day after the last day of a Long-Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds of such series will be purchased at the percentage of their principal amount which would be payable upon the applicable redemption described under “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period” below.

B-6

Mandatory Tender on Each Interest Payment Date During Commercial Paper Mode. When Bonds of a series bear interest at a Commercial Paper Rate, each Bond of such series must be tendered for purchase on the Interest Payment Date for such Bond.

Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.02(b) of the Agreement, on the effective date of the change in the Determination Method (the methods being Daily, Weekly, Commercial Paper, Long-Term or Auction Mode Interest Rates) of the Bonds of any series (the “Conversion Date”), the Bonds of such series will be subject to mandatory tender for purchase on the Conversion Date at the Purchase Price, except that in the case of a change prior to the day originally established as the date after the last day of a Long-Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds of such series will be purchased at the percentage of their principal amount which would be payable upon the applicable redemption described under “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period” below.

Notice of Tender. At least 15 days before each mandatory tender (except for the tender described under “Mandatory Tender on Each Interest Payment Date During Commercial Paper Mode” described above, for which no notice will be given and except that such notice shall be given (i) at least 30 days prior to the effective date if a Long-Term Interest Rate Period is in effect and the effective date is before the end of the Long-Term Interest Rate Period and (ii) at least 20 days prior to the effective date if an ARS Rate Period is then in effect), the Trustee will mail a notice of tender by first-class mail to each Bondholder at the holder’s registered address. Failure to give any required notice of tender as to any particular Bonds, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the tender of any Bonds in respect of which no failure or defect occurs. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph shall be effective when sent and will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.

Effect of Notice. When notice of tender is required and given, and when Bonds are to be tendered without notice, Bonds tendered become due and payable on the purchase date; in such case when funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for purchase, interest on the Bonds to be purchased ceases to accrue with respect to the holder thereof as of the date of purchase.

8. Delivery Address; Additional Delivery Requirements. Notices in respect of tenders and Bonds tendered must be delivered to the Trustee, and notices in respect of tenders must be delivered to the Remarketing Agent, as provided in the Agreement.

All tendered Bonds must be accompanied by an instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, executed in blank by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney, with the signature guaranteed by an eligible guarantor institution.

Limitation on Tenders. Except as provided under “Mandatory Tender Upon a Change in the Determination Method,” “Mandatory Tender at Beginning of a New Long-Term Interest Rate Period” and “Mandatory Tender on Each Interest Payment Date During Commercial Paper Mode,” no Bonds may be tendered while they bear interest at a Commercial Paper Rate, Auction Period Rate or a Long-Term Interest Rate.

B-7

Irrevocable Notice Deemed to Be Tender of Bond; Undelivered Bonds. The giving of notice by the registered owner of a Bond as provided in paragraph 6 or the occurrence of a mandatory tender for purchase as described in paragraph 7 constitutes the irrevocable tender for purchase of each Bond (or portion of Bond) with respect to which such notice was given, irrespective of whether such Bond was delivered as provided in paragraph 6 or 7. The determination of the Trustee as to whether a notice of tender has been properly sent shall be conclusive and binding upon the Bondholders.

The Trustee may refuse to accept delivery of any Bond for which a proper instrument of transfer has not been provided. If any owner of a Bond who gave notice of optional tender or which is subject to mandatory tender fails to deliver his Bond to the Trustee at the place and on the applicable date and time specified, or fails to deliver his Bond properly endorsed, and moneys for the payment of such Bond are on deposit with the Trustee, his Bond shall constitute an undelivered Bond as described in the Agreement and interest shall cease to accrue on his Bonds as of the tender date and such owner shall have no right under the Agreement other than the right to receive payment of the tender price thereof. BY ACCEPTANCE OF THIS BOND, THE OWNER AGREES TO SELL AND SURRENDER THIS BOND, PROPERLY ENDORSED, TO THE TRUSTEE AFTER THE GIVING OF IRREVOCABLE NOTICE OF TENDER FOR PURCHASE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE.

9. Redemptions. All redemptions (and purchases in lieu of redemption) will be made in funds immediately available on the redemption date (or purchase date) and will be at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds being redeemed (unless a premium is required as provided below) plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period. During any Long-Term Interest Rate Period applicable to a series of Bonds, if the Long-Term Interest Rate Period is less than or equal to five years, the Bonds of such series will not be redeemable pursuant to this provision during the Long-Term Interest Rate Period.

If the Long-Term Interest Rate Period is greater than five years, the Bonds of such series will not be redeemable for five years after the date on which the Bonds of such series begin to bear interest at the Long-Term Interest Rate. After the applicable no call period, the Bonds of such series may be redeemed at any time in whole or in part at 100% of their principal amount plus accrued interest, if any.

As an alternative to and in lieu of the foregoing redemption provisions, if, with respect to any Long-Term Interest Rate Period applicable to a series of Bonds, a Favorable Opinion of Tax Counsel is delivered to the Trustee not later than the date of the establishment of such Long-Term Interest Rate Period, the Bonds of such series may be redeemed during such Long-Term Interest Rate Period at the option of the Company in whole or in part at any time after a no-call period, if any, established by the Remarketing Agent, at the percentages of their principal amount, plus accrued interest, as follows: the Remarketing Agent shall, given the duration of the Long-Term Interest Rate Period, determine and inform the Trustee and the Company, on a date which is no later than the establishment of the Long-Term Interest Rate, the periods during which the Bonds of such series shall not be subject to redemption (the “Call Protection Period”), the premium or premiums payable upon redemption (the “Call Premiums”), if any,

B-8

applicable to the redemption of Bonds of such series after the Call Protection Period, and the period or periods during which the Call Premiums shall be effective (the “Call Premium Periods”) necessary to establish the Long-Term Interest Rate. Such Call Protection Period, Call Premiums and Call Premium Periods shall be established in accordance with optional call redemption provisions which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, are generally accepted at the time of determination as the standard features for obligations such as the Bonds, given the length of the Long-Term Interest Rate Period.

Optional Redemption During Daily or Weekly Rate Period. When interest on the Bonds of a series is payable at a Daily or Weekly Rate, the Bonds of such series may be redeemed in whole or in part at the option of the Company, on any Business Day.

Optional Redemption During ARS Rate Period. While the Bonds of a series bear interest at an Auction Period Rate, they are callable in whole or in part by the Company at par plus accrued interest on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the end of an Auction Period; provided that after any optional redemption (including an Extraordinary Optional Redemption) there shall be not less than $10,000,000 in aggregate principal amount of any Bonds bearing interest at an Auction Period Rate unless otherwise consented to by any Broker-Dealer. All redemptions (including Extraordinary Optional Redemptions) of Bonds of a series in part shall be in integral multiples of the Authorized Denomination.

Extraordinary Optional Redemption. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, any Bond is subject to extraordinary optional redemption by the Authority upon the direction of the Company, on any date, upon the occurrence of the events described in Section 4.01(b) (redemption in whole or in part) of the Agreement, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such redemption.

Mandatory Redemption Upon Determination of Taxability. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in whole or in part following a final determination by the Internal Revenue Service or a court of competent jurisdiction that the interest paid or payable on any Bond is or will be includible in gross income for federal income tax purposes, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such redemption.

Mandatory Redemption Upon Certain Reorganizations. Subject to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Bonds are subject to mandatory redemption in whole prior to the effective date of a “Reorganization” as defined in the Insurance Agreement, at a redemption price equal to the principal amount to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of such redemption.

Notice of Redemption. At least 30 days before each redemption, the Trustee will mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Bondholder with Bonds to be redeemed at such holder’s registered address. Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Bonds, or any defect therein, will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Bonds in respect of which no failure or defect occurs. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph shall be effective when sent and will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.

B-9

Effect of Notice. When notice is required and given, Bonds called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date; in such case when funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for redemption, interest on the Bonds to be redeemed ceases to accrue as of the date of redemption.

Purchase in Lieu of Redemption. As provided in the Agreement, the Company has the right to purchase Bonds in lieu of the optional redemption described in this paragraph under “Optional Redemption During Long-Term Interest Rate Period”, “Optional Redemption During Daily or Weekly Rate Period” and “Optional Redemption During ARS Rate Period”.

10. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Bonds may be issued in registered form without coupons in denominations as follows: (1) when interest is payable at a Daily, Weekly or Commercial Paper Rate, $100,000 and any larger denominations constituting an integral multiple of $5,000; (2) when interest is payable at a Long-Term Interest Rate, $5,000 and integral multiples thereof; and (3) when interest is payable at an Auction Period Rate, $25,000 and integral multiples thereof. A holder may register the transfer of or exchange Bonds in accordance with the Agreement. The Trustee may require a holder, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Agreement. Except in connection with the purchase of Bonds tendered for purchase, the Trustee will not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any Bond which has been called for redemption or during the period beginning 15 days before the mailing of notice calling the Bonds or any portion of the Bonds for redemption and ending on the redemption date.

11. Persons Deemed Owners. The registered holder of this Bond shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

12. Funds in Trust; Unclaimed Funds. All moneys which the Trustee shall have withdrawn from the account of the Company or shall have received from any other source and set aside, or deposited with the paying agents, for the purpose of paying any of the Bonds hereby secured, either at the maturity thereof or upon call for redemption or tender, shall be held in trust for the respective holders of such Bonds. But any moneys which shall be so set aside or deposited by the Trustee and which shall remain unclaimed by the holders of such Bonds for a period of one year after the date on which such Bonds shall have become due and payable shall upon request in writing be paid to the Company, and thereafter the holders of such Bonds shall look only to the Company for payment and then only to the extent of the amount so received without any interest thereon, and the Trustee, the Authority and the paying agents shall have no responsibility with respect to such moneys. In the absence of any such written request, the Trustee shall from time to time deliver such unclaimed funds to or as directed by pertinent escheat authority, as identified by the Trustee in its sole discretion, pursuant to and in accordance with applicable unclaimed property laws, rules or regulations. Any such delivery shall be in accordance with the customary practices and procedures of the Trustee and the escheat authority. All moneys held by the Trustee and subject to this paragraph 12 shall be held uninvested and without liability for interest thereon. Before making any payment under this paragraph 12, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive at the Company’s expense an opinion of counsel to the effect that said payment is permitted under applicable law.

B-10

13. Discharge Before Redemption, Tender or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or Government Obligations as described in the Agreement sufficient to pay at redemption, tender or maturity principal of and interest on the outstanding Bonds, and if the Company also pays or provides for the payment of all other sums then payable by the Company under the Agreement, the lien of the Agreement will be discharged. After discharge, Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment except as otherwise specifically provided in the Agreement.

14. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. Subject to certain exceptions and to rights granted to the Bond Insurer under the Agreement, the Agreement or the Bonds may be amended or supplemented, and any past default or compliance with any provision may be waived, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding. Any such consent shall be irrevocable and shall bind any subsequent owner of this Bond or any Bond delivered in substitution for this Bond. Without the consent of any Bondholder, the Authority may amend or supplement the Agreement or the Bonds as described in the Agreement, among other things, to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency, to provide for uncertificated Bonds in addition to or in place of certificated Bonds, to provide for a Book Entry System for the Bonds or to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Bondholder.

15. Defaults and Remedies. The Agreement provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default. If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Bonds may become or may be declared immediately due and payable, as provided in the Agreement. An Event of Default and its consequences may be waived as provided in the Agreement. Bondholders may not enforce the Agreement or the Bonds except as provided in the Agreement. Except as specifically provided in the Agreement, the Trustee may refuse to enforce the Agreement or the Bonds unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it. Subject to certain limitations, holders of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power.

16. No Recourse Against Others. A member, director, officer or employee, as such, of the Authority shall not have any liability for any obligations of the Authority or the Company under the Bonds or the Agreement or for any claim based on such obligations or their creation. Each Bondholder by accepting a Bond waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Bond.

17. Authentication. This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Agreement until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been duly executed by the Trustee.

18. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Bondholder or an assignee, such as TEN COM (= tenants in common), TEN ENT (= tenants by the entireties), JT TEN (= joint tenants with right of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST (= Custodian) and U/G/M/A (= Uniform Gifts to Minors Act).

B-11

It Is Hereby Certified, Recited And Declared that all acts, conditions and things required to exist, happen and be performed precedent to and in the execution and delivery of the Agreement and the issuance of this Bond do exist, have happened and have been performed in due time, form and manner as required by law.

STATEMENT OF INSURANCE

The Bond Insurer has issued the Bond Insurance Policy containing the following provisions with respect to the Bonds, such policy being on file at the principal office of the Trustee, as paying agent:

The Bond Insurer hereby unconditionally and irrevocably agrees to pay for disbursement to the Bondholders that portion of the principal and interest on the Bonds which is then due for payment and which the Authority shall have failed to provide. Due for payment means, with respect to principal, the Maturity Date and does not refer to any earlier date on which the payment of principal of the Bonds is due by reason of call for redemption, acceleration or other advancement of maturity, and with respect to interest, the stated date for payment of such interest.

Upon receipt of telephonic or telegraphic notice, subsequently confirmed in writing, or written notice by registered or certified mail, from a Bondholder or the Trustee to the Bond Insurer that the required payment of principal or interest (as applicable) has not been made by the Authority to the Trustee, the Bond Insurer on the due date of such payment or within one business day after receipt of notice of such nonpayment, whichever is later, will make a deposit of funds, in an account with Fiscal Agent, sufficient to make the portion of such payment not paid by the Authority. Upon presentation to the Fiscal Agent of evidence satisfactory to it of the Bondholder’s right to receive such payment and any appropriate instruments of assignment required to vest all of such Bondholder’s right to such payment in the Bond Insurer, the Fiscal Agent will disburse such amount to the Bondholder.

As used herein the term “Bondholder” means the person other than the Authority or the Company who at the time of nonpayment of a Bond is entitled under the terms of such Bond to payment thereof.

The Bond Insurance Policy is non-cancelable for any reason.

Auction Procedures

Section 2.01. Orders by Existing Owners and Potential Owners. (a) Prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline for each Series of Bonds on each Auction Date:

(i) each Existing Owner may submit to a Broker-Dealer, in writing or by such other method as shall be reasonably acceptable to such Broker-Dealer, one or more Orders as to:

(A) the principal amount of Bonds, if any, held by such Existing Owner which such Existing Owner commits to continue to hold for the next succeeding Auction Period without regard to the Auction Rate for such Auction Period,

(B) the principal amount of Bonds, if any, held by such Existing Owner which such Existing Owner commits to continue to hold for the next succeeding Auction Period if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period is not less than the rate per annum specified in such Order (and if the Auction Rate is less than such specified rate, the effect of the Order shall be as set forth in paragraph (b)(i)(A) of this Section), and/or

(C) the principal amount of Bonds, if any, held by such Existing Owner which such Existing Owner offers to sell on the first Business Day of the next succeeding Auction Period (or on the same day in the case of a daily Auction Period) without regard to the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period; and

(ii) each Potential Owner may submit to a Broker-Dealer, in writing or by such other method as shall be reasonably acceptable to such Broker-Dealer, an Order as to the principal amount of Bonds, which each such Potential Owner offers to purchase if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period is not less than the rate per annum then specified by such Potential Owner.

For the purposes of the Auction Procedures an Order containing the information referred to in clause (i)(A) above is referred to as a “Hold Order,” an Order containing the information referred to in clause (i)(B) or (ii) above is referred to as a “Bid,” and an Order containing the information referred to in clause (i)(C) above is referred to as a “Sell Order.”

No Auction Desk of a Broker-Dealer shall accept as an Order a submission (whether received from an Existing Owner or a Potential Owner or generated by the Broker-Dealer for its own account) which does not conform to the requirements of the Auction Procedures, including, but not limited to, submissions which are not in Authorized Denominations, specify a rate which contains more than three figures to the right of the decimal point or specify an amount greater than the amount of Outstanding Bonds. No Auction Desk of a Broker-Dealer shall accept a Bid or Sell Order which is conditioned on being filled in whole or a Bid which does not specify a specific interest rate.

(b) (i) A Bid by an Existing Owner shall constitute an offer to sell on the first Business Day of the next succeeding Auction Period (or the same day in the case of a daily Auction Period):

(A) the principal amount of Bonds specified in such Bid if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period shall be less than the rate specified in such Bid; or

(B) such principal amount or a lesser principal amount of Bonds to be determined as described in subsection (a)(v) of Section 2.05 hereof if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period shall be equal to such specified rate; or

(C) a lesser principal amount of Bonds to be determined as described in subsection (b)(iv) of Section 2.05 hereof if such specified rate shall be higher than the Maximum Rate and Sufficient Clearing Bids do not exist.

(ii) A Sell Order by an Existing Owner shall constitute an offer to sell:

(A) the principal amount of Bonds specified in such Sell Order; or

(B) such principal amount or a lesser principal amount of Bonds as described in subsection (b)(iv) of Section 2.05 hereof if Sufficient Clearing Bids do not exist.

(iii) A Bid by a Potential Owner shall constitute an offer to purchase:

(A) the principal amount of Bonds specified in such Bid if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period shall be higher than the rate specified therein; or

(B) such principal amount or a lesser principal amount of Bonds as described in subsection (a)(vi) of Section 2.05 hereof if the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Auction Period shall be equal to such specified rate.

(i) If an Order or Orders covering all of the Bonds of a particular Series held by an Existing Owner is not submitted to the Broker-Dealer of record for such Existing Owner prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline, such Broker-Dealer shall deem a Hold Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Existing Owner covering the principal amount of Bonds held by such Existing Owner and not subject to Orders submitted to such Broker-Dealer; provided, however, that if there is a conversion from one Auction Period to a longer Auction Period and Orders have not been submitted to such Broker-Dealer prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline covering the aggregate principal amount of Bonds of a particular Series to be converted held by such Existing Owner, such Broker-Dealer shall deem a Sell Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Existing Owner covering the principal amount of Bonds to be converted held by such Existing Owner not subject to Orders submitted to such Broker-Dealer.

(ii) for purposes of any Auction, any Order by any Existing Owner or Potential Owner shall be revocable until the Broker-Dealer Deadline, and after the Broker-Dealer Deadline, all such Orders shall be irrevocable, except as provided in Sections 2.02(e)(ii) and 2.02(f); and

(iii) for purposes of any Auction other than during a daily Auction Period, any Bonds sold or purchased pursuant to subsection (b)(i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be sold or purchased at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof; provided that, for purposes of any Auction during a daily Auction Period, such sale or purchase price shall be 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the date of sale or purchase.

Section 2.02. Submission of Orders by Broker-Dealers to Auction Agent.

(a) Each Broker-Dealer shall submit to the Auction Agent in writing, or by such Electronic Means as shall be reasonably acceptable to the Auction Agent, prior to the Submission Deadline on each Auction Date for Bonds of a Series, all Orders with respect to Bonds of such Series accepted by such Broker-Dealer in accordance with Section 2.01 above and specifying with respect to each Order or aggregation of Orders pursuant to Section 2.02(b) below:

(i) the name of the Broker-Dealer;

(ii) the number of Bidders placing Orders, if requested by the Auction Agent;

(iii) the aggregate number of Units of Bonds of such Series, if any, that are the subject of such Order, where each Unit is equal to the principal amount of the minimum Authorized Denomination of the Bonds;

(iv) to the extent that such Bidder is an Existing Owner:

(A) the number of Units of Bonds of such Series, if any, subject to any Hold Order placed by such Existing Owner;

(B) the number of Units of Bonds of such Series, if any, subject to any Bid placed by such Existing Owner and the rate specified in such Bid; and

(v) to the extent such Bidder is a Potential Owner, the rate specified in such Bid.

(b) If more than one Bid is submitted to a Broker-Dealer on behalf of any single Potential Owner, the Broker-Dealer shall aggregate each Bid on behalf of such Potential Owner submitted with the same rate and consider such Bids as a single Bid and shall consider each Bid submitted with a different rate a separate Bid with the rate and the number of Units of Bonds specified therein.

A Broker-Dealer may aggregate the Orders of different Potential Owners with those of other Potential Owners on whose behalf the Broker-Dealer is submitting Orders and may aggregate the Orders of different Existing Owners with other Existing Owners on whose behalf the Broker-Dealer is submitting Orders; provided, however, Bids may only be aggregated if the interest rates on the Bids are the same.

(c) None of the Authority, the Company, the Trustee or the Auction Agent shall be responsible for the failure of any Broker-Dealer to submit an Order to the Auction Agent on behalf of any Existing Owner or Potential Owner.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall preclude a Broker-Dealer from placing an Order for some or all of the Bonds for its own account.

(e) Until the Submission Deadline, a Broker-Dealer may withdraw or modify any Order previously submitted to the Auction Agent (i) for any reason if the Order was generated by the Auction Desk of the Broker-Dealer for the account of the Broker-Dealer or (ii) to correct a Clerical Error in the case of any other Order, including Orders from the Broker-Dealer which were not originated by the Auction Desk.

(f) After the Submission Deadline and prior to the Error Correction Deadline, a Broker-Dealer may:

(i) submit to the Auction Agent an Order received from an Existing Owner, Potential Owner or a Broker-Dealer which is not an Order originated by the Auction Desk, in each case prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline, or an Order generated by the Broker-Dealer’s Auction Desk for its own account prior to the Submission Deadline (provided that in each case the Broker-Dealer has a record of such Order and the time when such Order was received or generated) and not submitted to the Auction Agent prior to the Submission Deadline as a result of (A) an event of force majeure or a technological failure which made delivery prior to the Submission Deadline impossible or, under the conditions then prevailing, impracticable or (B) a Clerical Error on the part of the Broker-Dealer; or

(ii) modify or withdraw an Order received from an Existing Owner or Potential Owner or generated by the Broker-Dealer (whether generated by the Broker-Dealer’s Auction Desk or elsewhere within the Broker-Dealer) for its own account and submitted to the Auction Agent prior to the Submission Deadline or pursuant to clause (i) above, if the Broker-Dealer determines that such Order contained a Clerical Error on the part of the Broker-Dealer.

In the event a Broker-Dealer makes a submission, modification or withdrawal pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) and the Auction Agent has already run the Auction, the Auction Agent shall rerun the Auction, taking into account such submission, modification or withdrawal. Each submission, modification or withdrawal of an Order submitted pursuant to this Section 2.02(f) by a Broker-Dealer after the Submission Deadline and prior to the Error Correction Deadline shall constitute a representation by the Broker-Dealer that (A) in the case of a newly submitted Order or portion thereof or revised Order, the failure to submit such Order prior to the Submission Deadline resulted from an event described in clause (i) above and such Order was received from an Existing Owner or Potential Owner or is an Order received from the Broker-Dealer that was not originated by the Auction Desk, in each case, prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline, or generated internally by such Broker-Dealer’s Auction Desk for its own account prior to the Submission Deadline or (B) in the case of a modified or withdrawn Order, such Order was received from an Existing Owner, a Potential Owner or the Broker-Dealer which was not originated by the Auction Desk prior to the Broker-Dealer Deadline, or generated internally by such Broker-Dealer’s Auction Desk for its own account prior to the Submission Deadline and such Order as submitted to the Auction Agent contained a Clerical Error on the part of the Broker-Dealer and that such Order has been modified or withdrawn solely to effect a correction of such Clerical Error, and in the case of either (A) or (B), as applicable, the Broker-Dealer has a record of such Order and the time when such Order was received or generated. The Auction Agent shall be entitled to rely conclusively (and shall have no liability for relying) on such representation for any and all purposes of the Auction Procedures.

(g) If after the Auction Agent announces the results of an Auction, a Broker-Dealer becomes aware that an error was made by the Auction Agent, the Broker-Dealer shall communicate such awareness to the Auction Agent prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the Auction Date (or 2:00 pm. New York City time in the case of Bonds in a daily Auction Period). If the Auction Agent determines there has been such an error (as a result of either a communication from a Broker-Dealer or its own discovery) prior to 3:00 p.m. New York City time on the first day of the Auction Period with respect to which such Auction was conducted, the Auction Agent shall correct the error and notify each Broker-Dealer that submitted Bids or held a position in Bonds in such Auction of the corrected results.

(h) Nothing contained herein shall preclude the Auction Agent from:

(i) advising a Broker-Dealer prior to the Submission Deadline that it has not received Sufficient Clearing Bids for the Bonds; provided, however, that if the Auction Agent so advises any Broker-Dealer, it shall so advise all Broker-Dealers; or

(ii) verifying the Orders of a Broker-Dealer prior to or after the Submission Deadline; provided, however, that if the Auction Agent verifies the Orders of any Broker-Dealer, it shall verify the Orders of all Broker-Dealers requesting such verification.

Section 2.03. Treatment of Orders by the Auction Agent. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding:

(a) If the Auction Agent receives an Order which does not conform to the requirements of the Auction Procedures, the Auction Agent may contact the Broker-Dealer submitting such Order until one hour after the Submission Deadline and inform such Broker-Dealer that it may resubmit such Order so that it conforms to the requirements of the Auction Procedures. Upon being so informed, such Broker-Dealer may correct and resubmit to the Auction Agent any such Order that, solely as a result of a Clerical Error on the part of such Broker-Dealer, did not conform to the requirements of the Auction Procedures when previously submitted to the Auction Agent. Any such resubmission by a Broker-Dealer shall constitute a representation by such Broker-Dealer that the failure of such Order to have so conformed was solely as a result of a Clerical Error on the part of such Broker-Dealer. If the Auction Agent has not received a corrected conforming Order within one hour and fifteen minutes of the Submission Deadline, the Auction Agent shall, if and to the extent applicable, adjust or apply such Order, as the case may be, in conformity with the provisions of subsections (b), (c) or (d) of this Section 2.03 and, if the Auction Agent is unable to so adjust or apply such Order, the Auction Agent shall reject such Order.

(b) If any rate specified in any Bid contains more than three figures to the right of the decimal point, the Auction Agent shall round such rate up to the next highest one thousandth of one percent (0.001%).

(c) If one or more Orders covering in the aggregate more than the number of Units of Outstanding Bonds of a particular Series are submitted by a Broker-Dealer to the Auction Agent, such Orders shall be considered valid in the following order of priority:

(i) all Hold Orders shall be considered Hold Orders, but only up to and including in the aggregate the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record;

(ii) (A) any Bid of a Broker-Dealer shall be considered valid as a Bid of an Existing Owner up to and including the excess of the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record over the number of Units of the Bonds of such Series subject to Hold Orders referred to in clause (i) above;

(B) subject to clause (A) above, all Bids of a Broker-Dealer with the same rate shall be aggregated and considered a single Bid of an Existing Owner up to and including the excess of the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record over the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record subject to Hold Orders referred to in clause (i) above;

(C) subject to clause (A) above, if more than one Bid with different rates is submitted by a Broker-Dealer, such Bids shall be considered Bids of an Existing Owner in the ascending order of their respective rates up to the amount of the excess of the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record over the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record subject to Hold Orders referred to in clause (i) above; and

(D) the number of Units, if any, of such Bonds of such Series subject to Bids not considered to be Bids for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record under this clause (ii) shall be treated as the subject of a Bid by a Potential Owner;

(iii) all Sell Orders shall be considered Sell Orders, but only up to and including the number of Units of Bonds of such Series equal to the excess of the number of Units of Bonds of such Series for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record over the sum of the number of Units of the Bonds of such Series considered to be subject to Hold Orders pursuant to clause (i) above and the number of Units of Bonds of such Series considered to be subject to Bids for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record pursuant to clause (ii) above.

(d) If any Order is for other than an integral number of Units, then the Auction Agent shall round the amount down to the nearest number of whole Units, and the Auction Agent shall conduct the Auction Procedures as if such Order had been submitted in such number of Units.

(e) For purposes of any Auction other than during a daily Auction Period, if an Auction Agent has been notified by the Trustee, Authority or Company that any portion of an Order by a Broker-Dealer relates to a Bond which has been called for redemption on or prior to the Interest Payment Date next succeeding such Auction, the Order shall be invalid with respect to such portion and the Auction Agent shall conduct the Auction Procedures as if such portion of such Order had not been submitted.

(f) For purposes of any Auction other than during a daily Auction Period, no portion of a Bond which the Auction Agent has been notified by the Trustee, Authority or Company has been called for redemption on or prior to the Interest Payment Date next succeeding such Auction shall be included in the calculation of Available Bonds for such Auction.

(g) If an Order or Orders covering all of the Bonds of a particular Series is not submitted by a Broker-Dealer of record prior to the Submission Deadline, the Auction Agent shall deem a Hold Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Broker-Dealer covering the number of Units of Bonds for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record and not subject to Orders submitted to the Auction Agent; provided, however, that if there is a conversion from one Auction Period to a longer Auction Period and Orders have not been submitted by such Broker-Dealer prior to the Submission Deadline covering the number of Units of Bonds of a particular Series to be converted for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record, the Auction Agent shall deem a Sell Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Broker-Dealer covering the number of Units of Bonds to be converted for which such Broker-Dealer is the Broker-Dealer of record not subject to Orders submitted by such Broker-Dealer.

Section 2.04. Determination of Auction Period Rate. (a) If requested by the Trustee or a Broker-Dealer, not later than 10:30 a.m., New York City time (or such other time as may be agreed to by the Auction Agent and all Broker-Dealers), on each Auction Date for each Series of Bonds, the Auction Agent shall advise such Broker-Dealer (and thereafter confirm to the Trustee, if requested) of the All Hold Rate, the Index and, if the Maximum Rate is not a fixed interest rate, the Maximum Rate. Such advice, and confirmation, shall be made by telephone or other Electronic Means acceptable to the Auction Agent.

(b) Promptly after the Submission Deadline for each Series of Bonds on each Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall assemble all Orders submitted or deemed submitted to it by the Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted or deemed submitted by a Broker-Dealer being hereinafter referred to as a “Submitted Hold Order,” a “Submitted Bid” or a “Submitted Sell Order,” as the case may be, and collectively as a “Submitted Order”) and shall determine (i) the Available Bonds, (ii) whether there are Sufficient Clearing Bids, and (iii) the Auction Rate.

(c) In the event the Auction Agent shall fail to calculate or, for any reason, fails to provide the Auction Rate on the Auction Date, for any Auction Period (i) if the preceding Auction Period was a period of 35 days or less, (A) a new Auction Period shall be established for the same length of time as the preceding Auction Period, if the failure to make such calculation was because there was not at the time a duly appointed and acting Auction Agent or Broker-Dealer, and the Auction Period Rate for the new Auction Period shall be the percentage of the Index set forth in Schedule I under “Determination of Auction Period Rate” if the Index is ascertainable on such date (by the Auction Agent, if there is at the time an Auction Agent, or the Trustee, if at the time there is no Auction Agent) or, (B) if the failure to make such calculation was for any other reason or if the Index is not ascertainable on such date, the prior Auction Period shall be extended to the seventh day following the day that would have been the last day of the preceding Auction Period (or if such seventh day is not followed by a Business Day then to the next succeeding day that is followed by a Business Day) and the Auction Period Rate for the period as so extended shall be the same as the Auction Period Rate for the Auction Period prior to the extension, and (ii) if the preceding Auction Period was a period of greater than 35 days, (A) a new Auction Period shall be established for a period that ends on the seventh day following the day that was the last day of the preceding Auction Period, (or if such seventh day is not followed by a Business Day then to the next succeeding day which is followed by a Business Day) if the failure to make such calculation was because there was not at the time a duly appointed and acting Auction Agent or Broker-Dealer, and the Auction Period Rate for the new Auction Period shall be the percentage of the Index set forth in Schedule I under “Determination of Auction Period Rate” if the Index is ascertainable on such date (by the Auction Agent, if there is at the time an Auction Agent, or the Trustee, if at the time there is no Auction Agent) or, (B) if the failure to make such calculation was for any other reason or if the Index is not ascertainable on such date, the prior Auction Period shall be extended to the seventh day following the day that would have been the last day of the preceding Auction Period (or if such seventh day is not followed by a Business Day then to the next succeeding day that is followed by a Business Day) and the Auction Period Rate for the period as so extended shall be the same as the Auction Period Rate for the Auction Period prior to the extension. In the event a new Auction Period is established as set forth in clause (ii) (A) above, an Auction shall be held on the last Business Day of the new Auction Period to determine an Auction Rate for an Auction Period beginning on the Business Day immediately following the last day of the new Auction Period and ending on the date on which the Auction

Period otherwise would have ended had there been no new Auction Period or Auction Periods subsequent to the last Auction Period for which a Winning Bid Rate had been determined. In the event an Auction Period is extended as set forth in clause (i) (B) or (ii) (B) above, an Auction shall be held on the last Business Day of the Auction Period as so extended to determine an Auction Rate for an Auction Period beginning on the Business Day immediately following the last day of the extended Auction Period and ending on the date on which the Auction Period otherwise would have ended had there been no extension of the prior Auction Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither new nor extended Auction Periods shall total more than 35 days in the aggregate. If at the end of the 35 days the Auction Agent fails to calculate or provide the Auction Rate, or there is not at the time a duly appointed and acting Auction Agent or Broker-Dealer, the Auction Period Rate shall be the Maximum Rate.

(d) In the event of a failed conversion from an Auction Period to any other period or in the event of a failure to change the length of the current Auction Period due to the lack of Sufficient Clearing Bids at the Auction on the Auction Date for the first new Auction Period, the Auction Period Rate for the next Auction Period shall be the Maximum Rate and the Auction Period shall be a seven-day Auction Period.

(e) If the Bonds are no longer maintained in book-entry-only form by the Securities Depository, then the Auctions shall cease and the Auction Period Rate shall be the Maximum Rate.

Section 2.05. Allocation of Bonds.

(a) In the event of Sufficient Clearing Bids for a Series of Bonds, subject to the further provisions of subsections (c) and (d) below, Submitted Orders for each Series of Bonds shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the following order of priority:

(i) the Submitted Hold Order of each Existing Owner shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Hold Order;

(ii) the Submitted Sell Order of each Existing Owner shall be accepted and the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to sell the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Sell Order or Submitted Bid;

(iv) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is lower than the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid;

(v) the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying a rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid, but only up to and including the number of Units of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Units of Outstanding Bonds which are not the subject of Submitted Hold Orders described in clause (i) above or of Submitted Bids described in clauses (iii) or (iv) above by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of Units of Outstanding Bonds held by such Existing Owner subject to such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate number of Units of Outstanding Bonds subject to such Submitted Bids made by all such Existing Owners that specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate, and the remainder, if any, of such Submitted Bid shall be rejected, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to sell any excess amount of Bonds;

(vi) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying a rate that is equal to the Winning Bid Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid, but only in an amount equal to the number of Units of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Units of Outstanding Bonds which are not the subject of Submitted Hold Orders described in clause (i) above or of Submitted Bids described in clauses (iii), (iv) or (v) above by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of Units of Outstanding Bonds subject to such Submitted Bid and the denominator of which shall be the sum of the aggregate number of Units of Outstanding Bonds subject to such Submitted Bids made by all such Potential Owners that specified a rate equal to the Winning Bid Rate, and the remainder of such Submitted Bid shall be rejected; and

(vii) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Winning Bid Rate shall be rejected.

(b) In the event there are not Sufficient Clearing Bids for a Series of Bonds, Submitted Orders for each Series of Bonds shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the following order of priority:

(i) the Submitted Hold Order of each Existing Owner shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Hold Order;

(ii) the Submitted Bid of each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is not higher than the Maximum Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Existing Owner to continue to hold the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid;

(iii) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is not higher than the Maximum Rate shall be accepted, thus requiring each such Potential Owner to purchase the Bonds that are the subject of such Submitted Bid;

(iv) the Submitted Sell Orders of each Existing Owner shall be accepted as Submitted Sell Orders and the Submitted Bids of each Existing Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Maximum Rate shall be deemed to be and shall be accepted as Submitted Sell Orders, in both cases only up to and including the number of Units of Bonds obtained by multiplying (A) the aggregate number of Units of Bonds subject to Submitted Bids described in clause (iii) of this subsection (b) by (B) a fraction the numerator of which shall be the number of Units of Outstanding Bonds held by such Existing Owner subject to such Submitted Sell Order or such Submitted Bid deemed to be a Submitted Sell Order and the denominator of which shall be the number of Units of Outstanding Bonds subject to all such Submitted Sell Orders and such Submitted Bids deemed to be Submitted Sell Orders, and the remainder of each such Submitted Sell Order or Submitted Bid shall be deemed to be and shall be accepted as a Hold Order and each such Existing Owner shall be required to continue to hold such excess amount of Bonds; and

(v) the Submitted Bid of each Potential Owner specifying any rate that is higher than the Maximum Rate shall be rejected.

Section 2.06. Notice of Auction Period Rate. (a) On each Auction Date, the Auction Agent shall notify each Broker-Dealer that participated in the Auction held on such Auction Date by Electronic Means acceptable to the Auction Agent and the applicable Broker-Dealer of the following, with respect to each Series of Bonds for which an Auction was held on such Auction Date:

(i) the Auction Period Rate determined on such Auction Date for the succeeding Auction Period;

(ii) whether Sufficient Clearing Bids existed for the determination of the Winning Bid Rate;

(iii) if such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid or a Sell Order on behalf of an Existing Owner, whether such Bid or Sell Order was accepted or rejected and the number of Units of Bonds, if any, to be sold by such Existing Owner;

(iv) if such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid on behalf of a Potential Owner, whether such Bid was accepted or rejected and the number of Units of Bonds, if any, to be purchased by such Potential Owner;

(v) if the aggregate number of Units of the Bonds to be sold by all Existing Owners on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted Bids or Sell Orders is different from the aggregate number of Units of Bonds to be purchased by all Potential Owners on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid, the name or names of one or more Broker-Dealers (and the Agent Member, if any, of each such other Broker-Dealer) and the number of Units of Bonds to be (A) purchased from one or more Existing Owners on whose behalf such other Broker-Dealers submitted Bids or Sell Orders or (B) sold to one or more Potential Owners on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted Bids; and

(vi) the immediately succeeding Auction Date.

(b) On each Auction Date, with respect to each Series of Bonds for which an Auction was held on such Auction Date, each Broker-Dealer that submitted an Order on behalf of any Existing Owner or Potential Owner shall: (i) if requested by an Existing Owner or a Potential Owner, advise such Existing Owner or Potential Owner on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted an Order as to (A) the Auction Period Rate determined on such Auction Date, (B) whether any Bid or Sell Order submitted on behalf of such Owner was accepted or rejected and (C) the immediately succeeding Auction Date; (ii) instruct each Potential Owner on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted a Bid that was accepted, in whole or in part, to instruct such Potential Owner’s Agent Member to pay to such Broker-Dealer (or its Agent Member) through the Securities Depository the amount necessary to purchase the number of Units of Bonds to be purchased pursuant to such Bid (including, with respect to the Bonds in a daily Auction Period, accrued interest if the purchase date is not an Interest Payment Date for such Bond) against receipt of such Bonds; and (iii) instruct each Existing Owner on whose behalf such Broker-Dealer submitted a Sell Order that was accepted or a Bid that was rejected in whole or in part, to instruct such Existing Owner’s Agent Member to deliver to such Broker-Dealer (or its Agent Member) through the Securities Depository the number of Units of Bonds to be sold pursuant to such Bid or Sell Order against payment therefor.

(c) The Auction Agent shall give notice of the Auction Rate to the Company, Authority and Trustee by mutually acceptable Electronic Means and the Trustee shall promptly give notice of such Auction Rate to the Securities Depository.

(a) If for any reason on any Auction Date the Index shall not be determined as provided in Schedule I, the Index shall be the Index for the Auction Period ending on such Auction Date.

Section 2.08. Miscellaneous Provisions Regarding Auctions.

(a) In this Exhibit, each reference to the purchase, sale or holding of Bonds shall refer to beneficial interests in Bonds, unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

and Auction Rate may be amended pursuant to the Authorizing Document by obtaining the consent of the owners of all affected Outstanding Bonds bearing interest at the Auction Period Rate as follows. If on the first Auction Date occurring at least 20 days after the date on which the Trustee mailed notice of such proposed amendment to the registered owners of the affected Outstanding Bonds as required by the Authorizing Document, (i) the Auction Period Rate which is determined on such date is the Winning Bid Rate or the All Hold Rate and (ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that such amendment shall not adversely affect the validity of the Bonds or any exemption from federal income taxation to which the interest on the Bonds would otherwise be entitled, the proposed amendment shall be deemed to have been consented to by the registered owners of all affected Outstanding Bonds bearing interest at an Auction Period Rate.

(c) If the Securities Depository notifies the Authority that it is unwilling or unable to continue as registered owner of the Bonds or if at any time the Securities Depository shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation and a successor to the Securities Depository is not appointed by the Authority within 90 days after the Authority receives notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, the Auctions shall cease and the Authority shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver certificates representing the Bonds. Such Bonds shall be registered in such names and Authorized Denominations as the Securities Depository, pursuant to instructions from the Agent Members or otherwise, shall instruct the Authority and the Trustee.

During an ARS Rate Period, so long as the ownership of the Bonds is maintained in book-entry form by the Securities Depository, an Existing Owner or a beneficial owner may sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of a Bond only pursuant to a Bid or Sell Order in accordance with the Auction Procedures or to or through a Broker-Dealer, provided that (i) in the case of all transfers other than pursuant to Auctions, such Existing Owner or its Broker-Dealer or its Agent Member advises the Auction Agent of such transfer and (ii) a sale, transfer or other disposition of Bonds from a customer of a Broker-Dealer who is listed on the records of that Broker-Dealer as the holder of such Bonds to that Broker-Dealer or another customer of that Broker-Dealer shall not be deemed to be a sale, transfer or other disposition for purposes of this paragraph if such Broker-Dealer remains the Existing Owner of the Bonds so sold, transferred or disposed of immediately after such sale, transfer or disposition.

Section 2.09. Changes in Auction Period or Auction Date.

(a) Changes in Auction Period.

(i) During any ARS Rate Period, the Company, may, from time to time on the Interest Payment Date immediately following the end of any Auction Period, change the length of the Auction Period with respect to all of the Bonds of a Series among daily, seven-days, 28-days, 35-days, three months, six months or a Flexible Auction Period in order to accommodate economic and financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the length of the Auction Period and the interest rate borne by such Bonds. The Company shall initiate the change in the length of the Auction Period by giving written notice to the Authority, the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Broker-Dealers and the Securities Depository that the Auction Period shall change if the conditions described herein are satisfied and the proposed effective date of the change, at least 10 Business Days prior to the Auction Date for such Auction Period.

(ii) Any such changed Auction Period shall be for a period of one day, seven-days, 28-days, 35-days, three months, six months or a Flexible Auction Period and shall be for all of the Bonds of such Series.

(iii) The change in length of the Auction Period shall take effect only if Sufficient Clearing Bids exist at the Auction on the Auction Date for such new Auction Period. For purposes of the Auction for such new Auction Period only, except to the extent any Existing Owner submits an Order with respect to such Bonds of any Series, each Existing Owner shall be deemed to have submitted Sell Orders with respect to all of its Bonds of such Series if the change is to a longer Auction Period and a Hold Order if the change is to a shorter Auction Period. If there are not Sufficient Clearing Bids for the first Auction Period, the Auction Rate for the new Auction Period shall be the Maximum Rate, and the Auction Period shall be a seven-day Auction Period.

(b) Changes in Auction Date. During any ARS Rate Period, the Auction Agent, at the direction of the Company, may specify an earlier or later Auction Date (but in no event more than five Business Days earlier or later) than the Auction Date that would otherwise be determined in accordance with the definition of “Auction Date” in order to conform with then current market practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the day of the week constituting an Auction Date and the interest rate borne by the Bonds. The Auction Agent shall provide notice of the Company’s direction to specify an earlier Auction Date for an Auction Period by means of a written notice delivered at least 45 days prior to the proposed changed Auction Date to the Trustee, the Authority, the Company and the Broker-Dealers with a copy to the Securities Depository. In the event the Auction Agent is instructed to specify an earlier Auction Date, the days of the week on which an Auction Period begins and ends, the day of the week on which a Flexible Auction Period ends and the Interest Payment Date relating to a Flexible Auction Period shall be adjusted accordingly.

(c) Changes Resulting from Unscheduled Holidays. If, in the opinion of the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealers, there is insufficient notice of an unscheduled holiday to allow the efficient implementation of the Auction Procedures set forth herein, the Auction Agent and the Broker-Dealers may, as they deem appropriate, set a different Auction Date and adjust any Interest Payment Dates and Auction Periods affected by such unscheduled holiday.
