No 2008A Bonds shall be valid for any purpose hereunder until the certificate of authentication printed thereon is duly executed by the manual signature of an authorized signatory of the Trustee, acting as authenticating agent.  Such authentication or registration shall be proof that the Registered Owner is entitled to the benefit of the trusts hereby created.  The certificate of the Trustee may be executed by any person authorized by the Trustee, and it shall not be necessary that the same authorized person sign the certificates of authentication of all 2008A Bonds.

 

Any 2008A Bond authenticated and delivered after the last Interest Payment Date preceding the termination of a Letter of Credit Facility shall have noted on the face thereof that the Letter of Credit Facility has expired and no longer supports payment of such 2008A Bond and any other information which the Issuer deems appropriate, unless an Alternate Credit Facility meeting the requirements of Section 2C.7 has been delivered in respect of such 2008A Bond.

 

Section 2.7. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

 

(a) The ownership of each 2008A Bond shall be recorded in the registration books of the Issuer which shall be kept by the Trustee (the "Bond Register"), acting as Bond registrar, at its designated corporate trust operations office and shall contain such information as is necessary for the proper discharge of the duties of the Trustee hereunder.

 

(b) 2008A Bonds may be transferred or exchanged as follows:  Any 2008A Bond may be transferred if endorsed for such transfer by the Registered Owner thereof and surrendered by such Registered Owner or his duly appointed attorney to the Trustee at its designated corporate trust operations office, whereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new 2008A Bond or 2008A Bonds in the same denominations as the 2008A Bond surrendered for transfer or in different Authorized Denominations equal in the aggregate to the principal amount of the surrendered 2008A Bond.

 

(i) Any 2008A Bond or 2008A Bonds may be exchanged for one or more 2008A Bonds and in the same principal amount, but in a different Authorized Denomination or Authorized Denominations.  Each 2008A Bond so to be exchanged shall be surrendered by the Registered Owner thereof or his duly appointed attorney to the Trustee at its designated corporate trust operations office, whereupon a new 2008A Bond or 2008A Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered to the Registered Owner.

 

(ii) In the case of any 2008A Bond properly surrendered for partial redemption, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new 2008A Bond in exchange therefor, such new 2008A Bond to be in an Authorized Denomination equal to the unredeemed principal amount of the surrendered 2008A Bond without cost to the Owner; provided that, at its option, the Trustee may certify the amount and date of partial redemption  upon the partial redemption certificate, if any, printed on the surrendered 2008A Bond and return such surrendered 2008A Bond to the Registered Owner in lieu of an exchange.

 

(iii) No additional resolutions need be adopted by the governing body of the Issuer or any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing conversion and exchange or replacement of any 2008A Bond or portion thereof, and the Trustee shall provide for the completion, authentication, and delivery of the substitute 2008A Bonds in the manner prescribed herein.

 

Except as provided in subparagraph (iii) above, the Trustee shall not be required to effect any transfer or exchange during the fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date of mailing of any notice of redemption or at any time following the mailing of any such notice in the case of 2008A Bonds selected for such redemption. No charge shall be imposed upon Registered Owners in connection with any transfer or exchange, except for taxes or governmental charges related thereto.  No transfers or exchanges shall be valid for any purposes hereunder except as provided above.

 

Section 2.8. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen 2008A Bonds.

 

(a) If any 2008A Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Registered Owner thereof shall be entitled to the issuance of a substitute 2008A Bond provided that:

 

(i) in all cases, the Registered Owner must provide indemnity to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee satisfactory to each such party to be indemnified against any and all claims arising out of or otherwise related to the issuance of substitute 2008A Bonds pursuant to this Section;

 

(ii) in the case of a mutilated 2008A Bond the Registered Owner shall surrender the 2008A Bond to the Trustee for cancellation; and

 

(iii) in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed 2008A Bond, the Registered Owner shall provide evidence, satisfactory to the Trustee, of the ownership and the loss, theft or destruction of the affected 2008A Bond.

 

Upon compliance with the foregoing, a new 2008A Bond of like tenor and denomination, executed by the Issuer, shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to the Registered Owner, all at the expense of the Registered Owner to whom the substitute 2008A Bond is delivered.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver any substitute for a 2008A Bond which has been called for redemption or which has matured or is about to mature and, in any such case, the principal or redemption price then due or becoming due shall be paid by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed 2008A Bond without substitution therefor.

 

(b) Every 2008A Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the 2008A Bond alleged to have been destroyed, lost or stolen shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other 2008A Bonds duly issued hereunder.

 

(c) All 2008A Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen 2008A Bonds, and shall preclude any and all other rights or remedies, unless expressly inconsistent with any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments, investments or other securities without their surrender.

 

Section 2.9. Payments of Principal, Redemption Price, Purchase Price and Interest; Persons Entitled Thereto; Record Dates. 

 

(a) The principal, redemption price or purchase price of any 2008A Bond shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of such 2008A Bond at the Payment Office of the Paying Agent.  Interest on any 2008A Bond on each Interest Payment Date in respect thereof shall be payable by check mailed on the applicable Interest Payment Date to the address of the person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Bond Register; provided that at the written request of the Owner of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2008A Bonds (or the Bank to the extent the Bank owns any 2008A Bonds regardless of the principal amount owned) received by the Paying Agent at least one Business Day before the corresponding Record Date, interest accrued on the 2008A Bonds will be payable by wire transfer within the continental United States in immediately available funds to the bank account number of such Owner specified in such request and entered by the Paying Agent on the Bond Register.  The principal or redemption price and purchase price becoming due with respect to 2008A Bonds shall, at the written request of the Owner of at least $1,000,000 aggregate principal amount of such 2008A Bonds (or the Bank to the extent the Bank owns any 2008A Bonds regardless of the principal amount owned), be paid by wire transfer within the continental United States in immediately available funds to the bank account number of such Owner appearing on the Bond Register, but only upon presentation and surrender of such 2008A Bonds (subject to the book-entry provisions of Section 2.13).  The principal, redemption price or purchase price of and interest on the 2008A Bonds shall be paid in any coin or currency of the United States of America which, at the time of payment, is legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.

 

(b) Interest on any 2008A Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person in whose name that 2008A Bond is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

 

(c) Any interest on any 2008A Bond which is payable on any Interest Payment Date but is not paid or provided for on such date or within three Business Days thereafter (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Owner on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Owner, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid, pursuant to Section 7.10, to the Owner in whose name the 2008A Bond is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee, such date to be not more than fifteen (15) nor less than five (5) days prior to the date of proposed payment.  The Paying Agent shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Bondholder, at his address as it appears in the Bond Register, not less than ten (10) days prior to such Special Record Date.

 

(d) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each 2008A Bond delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or exchange for or in lieu of any other 2008A Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other 2008A Bond.

 

(e) All 2008A Bonds issued hereunder are and are to be, to the extent provided in this Indenture, equally and ratably secured by this Indenture without preference, priority or distinction on account of the actual time or times of the authentication, delivery or maturity of the 2008A Bonds so that, subject as aforesaid, all 2008A Bonds at any time Outstanding hereunder shall have the same right, lien and preference under and by virtue of this Indenture and shall all be equally and ratably secured hereby with like effect as if they had all been executed, authenticated and delivered simultaneously on the date hereof, whether the same, or any of them, shall actually be disposed of at such date, or whether they, or any of them, shall be disposed of at some future date.

 

Section 2.10. Temporary 2008A Bonds.

 

Pending preparation of definitive 2008A Bonds, the Issuer may issue, in lieu of definitive 2008A Bonds, one or more temporary printed or typewritten 2008A Bonds in Authorized Denominations, of substantially the tenor recited above.  At the written request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate definitive 2008A Bonds in exchange for and upon surrender of an equal principal amount of temporary  2008A Bonds.  Until so exchanged, temporary  2008A Bonds shall have the same rights, remedies and security hereunder as definitive 2008A Bonds.  Temporary 2008A Bonds shall be numbered consecutively upward from TR-1.

 

Section 2.11. Cancellation of Surrendered 2008A Bonds.

 

The Trustee shall cancel (a) all 2008A Bonds surrendered for transfer or exchange, for payment at maturity or for redemption (unless the surrendered 2008A Bond is to be partially redeemed and the Trustee elects to return the 2008A Bond, certified as to the partial redemption, to the Registered Owner thereof pursuant to Section 2.7(b)(iii)), and (b) all 2008A Bonds purchased at the direction of the Company and surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  The Trustee shall deliver to the Issuer a certificate of cancellation in respect of all 2008A Bonds canceled in accordance with this Section.

 

Section 2.12. Acts of Registered Owners; Evidence of Ownership.

 

Any action to be taken by Registered Owners may be evidenced by one or more concurrent written instruments of similar tenor signed or executed by such Registered Owners in person or by an agent appointed in writing.  The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument may be proved by acknowledgment before a notary public or other officer empowered to take acknowledgments or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution.  Any action by the Registered Owner of any 2008A Bond shall bind all future Registered Owners of the same 2008A Bond in respect of anything done or suffered by the Issuer or the Trustee in pursuance thereof.

 

Section 2.13. Book Entry System.

 

(a) DTC will act as Securities Depository for the 2008A Bonds.  The 2008A Bonds shall be initially issued in the form of a single fully registered 2008A Bond registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership nominee).  So long as Cede & Co. is the Registered Owner of the 2008A Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to Registered Owners, Bondholders or holders or Owners of the 2008A Bonds shall mean Cede & Co. and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the 2008A Bonds.

 

(b) The ownership interest of each of the Beneficial Owners of the 2008A Bonds will be recorded through the records of a DTC Participant.  Transfers of beneficial ownership interests in the 2008A Bonds which are registered in the name of Cede & Co. will be accompanied by book entries made by DTC and, in turn, by the DTC Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners of the 2008A Bonds.

 

(c) With respect to 2008A Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s partnership nominee, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC Participant holds an interest in the 2008A Bonds, except as provided in this Indenture.  Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the 2008A Bonds, (ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Bondholder, as shown on the registration books, of any notice with respect to the 2008A Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the registration books of any amount with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the 2008A Bonds.

 

(d) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer and the Trustee shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each 2008A Bond is registered in the registration books as the absolute owner of such 2008A Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest with respect to such 2008A Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of redemption and other matters with respect to such 2008A Bond, for the purpose of registering transfers with respect to such 2008A Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever.  The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2008A Bonds only to or upon the order of the respective owners, as shown in the registration books as provided in this Indenture, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the 2008A Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

 

(e) No person other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the registration books, shall receive a 2008A Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, pursuant to this Indenture.

 

(f) Any provision of this Indenture permitting or requiring the delivery of 2008A Bonds shall, while the book-entry system is in effect, be satisfied by the notation on the books of DTC or a DTC Participant, if applicable, of the transfer of the Beneficial Owner’s interest in such 2008A Bond.

 

(g) So long as the book-entry system is in effect, the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with the terms of the Letter of Representations, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof, or an alternate Letter of Representations as required by DTC.

 

(h) DTC may determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to the 2008A Bonds at any time by giving reasonable written notice and all relevant information on the Beneficial Owners of the 2008A Bonds to the Issuer or the Trustee.  If there is no successor Securities Depository appointed by the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver 2008A Bonds to the Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such information.  The Issuer, at the direction of the Company, may determine not to continue participation in the system of book entry transfers through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) at any time by giving reasonable written notice to DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) and the Trustee.  In such event, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the 2008A Bonds to the Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such information.

 

The Chairman, Executive Director or Deputy Secretary of the Issuer is hereby authorized to execute any additional Letter of Representations or similar document necessary from time to time to continue or provide for the DTC book-entry system.

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.13 are subject to the provisions of Section 2B.5 hereof (relating to Pledged Bonds).

 

Section 2.14. Payments to Cede & Co.; Payments to Beneficial Owners.

 

(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any 2008A Bond is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such 2008A Bond and all notices with respect to such 2008A Bond shall be made and given, respectively, pursuant to DTC’s rules and procedures.

 

(b) Payments by the DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer, subject to any statutory and regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

 

           Section 2A.1.  Daily Rate.

 

(a) A Daily Rate shall be determined for each Daily Rate Period as described below.  The Daily Rate for each Daily Rate Period shall be effective from and including the commencement date of such period and shall remain in effect through and including the last day thereof.  Each such Daily Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent not later than 10:00 a.m. on the Daily Rate Calculation Date and shall be provided by the Remarketing Agent in writing to the Paying Agent by 1:00 p.m. on that same day.  Each such Daily Rate so to be determined shall be the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would cause the 2008A Bonds in the Daily Mode to have a market value equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any), taking into account Prevailing Market Conditions as of the date of determination; provided that:

 

(i) if the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine and notify the Paying Agent of the Daily Rate for any Daily Rate Period, such Daily Rate shall be the same as the Daily Rate in effect for the immediately preceding Daily Rate Period, except that if such failure continues for more than one consecutive Daily Rate Period, the Daily Rate thereafter shall be 135% of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index published for that Daily Rate Period by Munifacts Wire System, Inc. (or a replacement publisher of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index designated in writing by the Issuer at the direction of the Company to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent); provided that if Munifacts Wire System, Inc. or such replacement publisher does not publish the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index on a day on which a Daily Rate is to be set, the Daily Rate shall be 135% of a comparable index selected by the Company published by Munifacts Wire System, Inc. or such replacement publisher at such time; and

 

(ii) in no event shall the Daily Rate for any Daily Rate Period exceed 12% per annum.

 

(b) No notice of Daily Rates will be given to the Company or the Owners of the 2008A Bonds; however, the Company and the Owners may obtain Daily Rates from the Remarketing Agent.  All determinations of Daily Rates pursuant to this Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owners of the 2008A Bonds to which such rates are applicable.  The Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to any Owner for failure to give any notice required with respect to Daily Rates or for failure of any person to receive any such notice.

 

           Section 2A.2.  Weekly Rate.

 

(a) A Weekly Rate shall be determined for each Weekly Rate Period as described below.  The Weekly Rate for each Weekly Rate Period shall be effective from and including the commencement date of such period and shall remain in effect through and including the last day thereof.  Each such Weekly Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Weekly Rate Calculation Date and shall be provided by the Remarketing Agent in writing to the Paying Agent by the close of business on that same day.  Each such Weekly Rate so to be determined shall be the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would cause the 2008A Bonds in the Weekly Mode to have a market value equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any), taking into account Prevailing Market Conditions as of the date of determination; provided that:

 

(i) if the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine and notify the Paying Agent of the Weekly Rate for any Weekly Rate Period, such Weekly Rate shall be the same as the Weekly Rate in effect for the immediately preceding Weekly Rate Period, except that if such failure continues for more than one consecutive Weekly Rate Period, the Weekly Rate thereafter shall be 135% of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index published for that Weekly Rate Period by Munifacts Wire System, Inc. (or a replacement publisher of the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index designated in writing by the Issuer at the direction of the Company to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent); provided that if Munifacts Wire System, Inc. or such replacement publisher does not publish the SIFMA Municipal Swap Index on a day on which a Weekly Rate is to be set, the Weekly Rate shall be 135% of a comparable index selected by the Company published by Munifacts Wire System, Inc. or such replacement publisher at such time; and

 

(ii) in no event shall the Weekly Rate for any Weekly Rate Period exceed 12% per annum.

 

(b) No notice of Weekly Rates will be given to the Company or the Owners of the 2008A Bonds; however, the Company and the Owners may obtain Weekly Rates from the Remarketing Agent.  All determinations of Weekly Rates pursuant to this Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Owners of the 2008A Bonds to which such rates are applicable.  The Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to any Owner for failure to give any notice required with respect to Weekly Rates or for failure of any person to receive any such notice.

 

Section 2A.3.  Monthly Rate.

 

(a) A Monthly Rate shall be determined for each Monthly Rate Period as described below.  The Monthly Rate for each Monthly Rate Period shall be effective from and including the commencement date of such period and shall remain in effect through and including the last day thereof.  Each such Monthly Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Monthly Rate Calculation Date and shall be provided by the Remarketing Agent to the Paying Agent in writing by the close of business on the same day.  Each such Monthly Rate so to be determined shall be the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, would cause the 2008A Bonds in the Monthly Mode to have a market value equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest (if any), taking into account Prevailing Market Conditions as the date of determination; provided that:

 

(i) if the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine and notify the Paying Agent of the Monthly Rate for any Monthly Rate Period, such Monthly Rate shall be the same as the Monthly Rate in effect for the immediately preceding Monthly Rate Period, except that if such failure continues for more than one consecutive Monthly Rate Period, the Monthly Rate thereafter shall be 135% of the 30-day tax-exempt commercial paper rate published for that Monthly Rate Period by Munifacts Wire System, Inc. (or a replacement publisher of a tax-exempt commercial paper rate designated in writing by the Issuer at the direction of the Company to the Trustee and the Remarketing Agent), representing, as of the publication date, the average of 30-day yield evaluations at par of tax-exempt securities rated by the Rating Service in its highest commercial paper rating category; provided that if Munifacts Wire System, Inc. or such replacement publisher does not publish such a tax-exempt commercial paper rate on a day on which a Monthly Rate is to be set, the Monthly Rate shall be 85% of the interest rate for 90-day taxable commercial paper (prime paper placed through dealers) announced on such day by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York; and

 

(ii) in no event shall the Monthly Rate for any Monthly Rate Period exceed 12% per annum.

 

(b) No notice of Monthly Rates will be given to the Registered Owners of the 2008A Bonds; however, such Owners may obtain Monthly Rates from the Remarketing Agent.  All determinations of Monthly Rates pursuant to the Indenture shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the , the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registered Owners of the 2008A Bonds to which such rates are applicable.  The Issuer, the Company, the Bank, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to any Registered Owner for failure to give any notice required with respect to Monthly Rates or for failure for any person to receive such notice.

 

Section 2A.4.  Term Rate.

 

(a) A Term Rate shall be determined for each Term Rate Period as described below.  Upon conversion to a Term Mode, a Nominal Term Rate Period shall be fixed by the Company pursuant to Section 2A.5 as a term of two or more Semiannual Periods constituting the nominal length of each Term Rate Period thereafter until the date of a conversion to another Rate Mode.  Each Term Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Term Rate Calculation Date as the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent taking into account Prevailing Market Conditions, would be necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of the 2008A Bonds in the Term Mode in a secondary market sale at a price equal to the principal amount thereof on the first Business Day of the Term Rate Period; provided that (1) if the Remarketing Agent fails for any reason to determine the Term Rate for any Term Rate Period, such Term Rate shall be equal to 90% of the average of the annual 2008A Bond equivalent yield evaluations at par as provided by the Remarketing Agent as of the first day of the corresponding Term Rate Period or, if such day is not a Business Day, the next preceding Business Day, of United States Treasury obligations having a term to maturity similar to such Term Rate Period, and (2) in no event shall any Term Rate for any Term Rate Period exceed 12% per annum or, if a Letter of Credit Facility is in effect, the maximum interest rate set forth in the Reimbursement Agreement for Pledged Bonds.  Notice of each Term Rate shall promptly be given by telephone (promptly confirmed in writing) by the Remarketing Agent to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Company, the Bank and the Paying Agent.  Determinations of Term Rates pursuant to this Section shall be conclusive and binding upon the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Bank and the Owners.

 

Section 2A.5.  Conversion at Option of Company.

 

(a) The Company shall have the option to convert all (but not less than all) of the 2008A Bonds from one Rate Mode to another Rate Mode (including without limitation a conversion from one Term Mode to another Term Mode) as herein provided on any Conversion Date the Company shall select; provided that (i) each Conversion Date shall be an Interest Payment Date and (ii) 2008A Bonds in a Term Mode cannot be converted to another Rate Mode prior to the date on or after which such 2008A Bonds may first be redeemed at the option of the Company at the redemption price of par.  The Company may exercise its option to convert the 2008A Bonds regardless of the number of times such 2008A Bonds have previously been converted pursuant to the exercise of its option to convert.  The Company shall exercise such option by giving written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Bank, and the Paying Agent stating its election to convert the Rate Mode of the 2008A Bonds to another Rate Mode specified in such notice and stating the Conversion Date therefor, in the case of 2008A Bonds in the Daily Mode or Weekly Mode, not less than 35 days, and in the case of 2008A Bonds in the Monthly Mode or Term Mode, not less than 45 days, prior to such Conversion Date (or such shorter time as may be agreed to by the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Remarketing Agent).  Such notice also shall state whether or not the 2008A Bonds to be converted will be covered by a Letter of Credit Facility following such conversion.  Upon receipt of such notice by the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively assume that the Issuer, the Remarketing Agent, the Bank, and the Paying Agent also received a copy of such notice and that such condition has been complied with.  In connection with each conversion to a Term Mode, the Nominal Term Rate Period shall be selected by the Company and designated in such notice.

 

(b) The exercise of an option to convert shall not be effective unless there shall have been delivered to the Trustee:

Section 4.1. Investment of Funds.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein, pending disbursement of the amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund (other than any moneys held by the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become payable with respect to the 2008A Bonds which shall only be invested as provided below in the next succeeding paragraph) as provided herein, the Trustee is hereby directed to invest and reinvest such amounts in Investment Securities promptly upon receipt of, and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article, in accordance with the written instructions of the Company.  In the event no such instructions are received by the Trustee, such amounts shall be invested in Investment Securities described in clause (g) of the definition thereof, pending receipt of such investment instructions.  All such investments, as well as the investments described in the next succeeding paragraph, shall be credited to the fund (and account and subaccount therein) from which the money used to acquire such investments shall have come, and all income and profits on such investments shall be credited to, and all losses thereon shall be charged against, such fund (and account and subaccount therein).  As amounts invested are needed for disbursement from the Debt Service Fund, the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of the investments credited to that fund to be redeemed or sold and converted into cash to the credit of that fund (and account and subaccount therein).  The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment or reinvestment or redemption or sale as herein authorized; except that the Trustee shall be liable for any loss resulting from its willful or grossly negligent failure, within a reasonable time after  receiving the direction from the Company to make any investment or reinvestment in the manner provided for herein at the Company’s direction.  If the Trustee is unable, after reasonable effort and within a reasonable time, to make any such investment or reinvestment, it shall so notify the Company in writing and thereafter the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility with respect thereto.  The Trustee may make any and all such investments through its own investment department or that of its affiliates or subsidiaries.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein: (1) any moneys held by the Trustee to pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become payable with respect to the 2008A Bonds shall only be invested by the Trustee overnight in United States Government Obligations or other Investment Securities rated AAA or Aaa by each Rating Agency then rating the 2008A Bonds as directed in writing by the Company; and (2) moneys deposited in the Letter of Credit Purchase Account or the Remarketing Proceeds Purchase Account shall not be invested but shall be held uninvested without the Trustee or the Paying Agent having any liability for interest in their respective accounts pending application.

 

The Company by its execution of the Loan Agreement covenants to restrict the investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture in such manner and to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, after taking into account reasonable expectations at the time the 2008A Bonds are delivered to their original purchaser, so that the 2008A Bonds will not constitute arbitrage 2008A Bonds under Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, and the Trustee hereby agrees to comply with the Company’s written instructions with respect to the investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture so long as such instructions conform to the requirements of the Indenture.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not direct the Trustee to make investments under this Indenture that conflict with or exceed the limitations set forth in the Tax Documents.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to the compliance by the Company or the Issuer with respect to any covenant herein regarding investments made in accordance with this Article, other than to use its best reasonable efforts to comply with instructions from the Company regarding such investments.  Since the investments permitted by this Section have been included at the request of the Company and the making of such investments will be subject to the Company’s written direction, the Issuer and the Trustee specifically disclaim and shall not have any obligation to the Company for any loss arising from, or tax consequences of, investments pursuant to the provisions of this Section.  Confirmations are not required from the Trustee for permitted investments included in a monthly statement rendered by the Trustee, and no statement need be rendered by the Trustee for any fund or account if no investment or income accrual activity occurred in such fund or account during such month.

 

Section 4.2. Arbitrage Bond Covenant.

 

With respect to the authority to invest funds granted in this Indenture, the Issuer hereby covenants with the Bondholders that, subject to the Company’s direction of the investment of funds, it will make no use of the proceeds of the 2008A Bonds, or any other funds which may be deemed to be proceeds of the 2008A Bonds pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, which would cause the 2008A Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of such Section.

 

The Trustee shall provide such information as the Company may reasonably request in writing to enable the Company to calculate the amount of earnings on the moneys held under this Indenture.

 

Section 4.3. Covenants Regarding Tax Exemption.

 

The Issuer covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, or to take such action as is reasonable and available and within its control to assure, the treatment of the 2008A Bonds as obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is not included in the "gross income" of the holder (other than the income of a "substantial user" of the Project Facilities or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code) for purposes of federal income taxation.

(1) the identification numbers, as established under the Indenture, and the CUSIP numbers, if any, of the 2008A Bonds being redeemed, provided that any such notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP numbers either as printed on such 2008A Bonds or as contained in the notice of redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the identification numbers contained in the notice or printed on such 2008A Bonds;

 

(2) any other descriptive information needed to identify accurately the 2008A Bonds being redeemed, including, but not limited to, the Issue Date and maturity date of, and interest rate on, such 2008A Bonds;

(4) the redemption date;

(7) the place where such 2008A Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price, which place of payment shall be the Payment Office of the Paying Agent.

 

In addition, the Paying Agent shall at all reasonable times make available to the Issuer, the Company, the Bank and the Remarketing Agent complete information as to 2008A Bonds which have been redeemed or called for redemption.

 

(b) In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice of any redemption of 2008A Bonds hereunder shall be given by the Paying Agent, on the day of the mailed notice to Bondholders, by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery service to Financial Information, Inc.'s "Daily Called 2008A Bond Service", 30 Montgomery Street, 10th Floor, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302, Attention: Editor; Kenny Information Service's "Called 2008A Bond Service", 55 2008A Bond Street, 28th Floor, New York, New York 10004; Moody's "Municipal and Government", 99 Church Street, 8th Floor, New York, New York 10007, Attention: Municipal News Report; and Standard and Poor's "Called 2008A Bond Record", 26 Broadway, 3rd Floor, New York, New York 10004; or, in accordance with then-current guidelines of the Securities and Exchange Commission, to such other addresses and/or such other services, as the Issuer may designate in writing with respect to the 2008A Bonds, including any nationally recognized municipal securities information repository to which the Issuer and/or the Company is required to file information or notices under SEC Rule 15c2-12 or any successor rule, or no such services, as the Issuer may designate in a certificate of the Issuer delivered to the Paying Agent and the Trustee.  Such further notice shall contain the information required in clause (a) above.  Failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall not in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given to the Bondholders as prescribed in clause (a) above.

 

(c) If at the time of mailing of notice of any optional redemption there shall not have been deposited moneys in the Debt Service Fund available for payment pursuant to Section 3.2(b) sufficient to redeem all the 2008A Bonds called for redemption, such notice shall state that it is conditional in that it is subject to the deposit of the moneys in the Debt Service Fund available for such payment pursuant to Section 3.2(b) not later than the redemption date, and such notice shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited.

 

Section 5.3. Effect of Redemption.

 

If the redemption price of the 2008A Bonds has been paid to the Trustee in immediately available funds on or before the redemption date, then interest thereon will cease to accrue, and the Registered Owners will have no rights with respect to such 2008A Bonds nor will they be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest accrued (if any) to the date fixed for redemption.

If (a) unconditional notice of redemption has been duly given or duly waived by the Owners of all 2008A Bonds called for redemption or (b) conditional notice of redemption has been so given or waived and the moneys have been duly deposited with the Paying Agent sufficient to make such redemption, then in either such case the 2008A Bonds called for redemption shall be payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price.  Payment of the redemption price together with accrued interest (if any) shall be made by the Paying Agent, out of Available Moneys, to or upon the order of the Owners of the 2008A Bonds called for redemption upon surrender of such 2008A Bonds to the Payment Office of the Paying Agent.  Upon the payment of the redemption price of 2008A Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number, if any, identifying by issue and maturity, the 2008A Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or other transfer.  So long as a Letter of Credit Facility is held by the Paying Agent for 2008A Bonds, upon redemption of less than all of the 2008A Bonds pursuant to this Indenture, the Paying Agent shall take such action as may be permitted under the Letter of Credit Facility securing the 2008A Bonds to reduce the amount available thereunder as required by Section 2C.3, and, upon a redemption of all of the Outstanding 2008A Bonds pursuant to this Indenture, shall surrender the Letter of Credit Facility securing the 2008A Bonds to the Bank for cancellation.

Section 5.6. Optional Redemption.

 

(a) While the 2008A Bonds are in the Daily Mode, Weekly Mode or Monthly Mode, the 2008A Bonds may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the direction of the Company, in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date, prior to maturity at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest (if any) to the redemption date.

 

(b) While the 2008A Bonds are in a Term Mode, the 2008A Bonds shall be subject to optional redemption prior to maturity by the Issuer, at the direction of the Company, only (i) in whole or in part on a Term Rate Period End Interest Payment Date at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest (if any) to the redemption date or (ii) prior to the end of the then current Term Rate Period in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment Date, provided that the 2008A Bonds shall not be redeemable during the No Call Period shown below, which shall begin on the first day of the current Term Rate Period.  In each Term Rate Period, after the applicable No Call Period, the 2008A Bonds shall be redeemable at the percentage of their principal amount shown below in the Initial Premium column plus accrued interest (if any) to the redemption date.  The premium shall decline semiannually by the amount shown below in the Semiannual Reduction in Premium column until they shall be redeemable without premium in the year indicated in the No Premium After column and for any later years or periods in the respective Term Rate Period.

 

Equal to or Greater Than	But Less Than	No Call Period	Initial Premium	Semiannual Reduction in Premium	No Premium After
10 Years 8 Years 6 Years	N/A 10 Years 8 Years	8 Years 5 Years 3 Years	102% 101% 100%	½% ½%	10th year 6th year

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6: (i) 2008A Bonds which are in a Term Mode for a Term Rate Period of less than six years shall not be subject to optional redemption; and (ii) the Issuer may only call 2008A Bonds for any redemption pursuant to this Section 5.6 if the Paying Agent has moneys constituting (or which, in the case of a conditional call pursuant to Section 5.2(c) are expected to constitute) Available Moneys sufficient to effect such redemption.

 

Section 5.7. Special Mandatory Redemption.

 

The 2008A Bonds are subject to Special Mandatory Redemption prior to maturity not later than 180 days after the Company has notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, but such redemption shall only be effected with Available Moneys.  Any such Special Mandatory Redemption shall be in whole unless the Company delivers to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that redemption of a portion of the Outstanding 2008A Bonds would have the result that interest payable on the 2008A Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner or Beneficial Owner of a 2008A Bond (other than an owner or Beneficial Owner who is a "substantial user" of the Project Facilities or a "related person" within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder), and in such event the 2008A Bonds or portions thereof (in Authorized Denominations) shall be redeemed at such times and in such amounts as Bond Counsel shall so direct in such opinion.

 

If the Trustee receives written notice from any Owner stating that (i) the Owner has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to include the interest on any 2008A Bond in the gross income of such Owner for the reasons stated in the definition of "Determination of Taxability" set forth herein or any other proceeding has been instituted against such Owner which may lead to a Final Determination, and (ii) such Owner will afford the Company the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the Owner, and until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and the Issuer and to the Owners of 2008A Bonds then Outstanding.  If the Trustee thereafter receives written notice of a Final Determination, the Trustee shall make demand for prepayment of the unpaid Installment Loan Payments under the Loan Agreement or necessary portions thereof from the Company and, only upon receipt of such prepayment constituting Available Moneys, give notice of the Special Mandatory Redemption of the appropriate amount of 2008A Bonds on the earliest practicable date within the required period of 180 days.  In taking any action or making any determination under this Section 5.1(b), the Trustee may rely on an opinion of counsel.

Section 6.1. General Limitation; Issuer’s Representation.

Section 6.2. Payment of 2008A Bonds and Performance of Covenants.

Section 6.5. Exemption from Federal Income Taxation.

(iv) The occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement; or

 

(v) Receipt by the Trustee of a written notice from the Bank stating that an event of default has occurred under the Reimbursement Agreement and directing the Trustee to declare the principal of the outstanding 2008A Bonds immediately due and payable; or

Section 7.2. Acceleration and Annulment Thereof.

 

                      If any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (with the written consent of the Bank) may, and upon written request of the Registered Owners of at least 25% in principal amount of all 2008A Bonds then Outstanding (and, so long as the Bank has not wrongfully dishonored any drawing under the Letter of Credit, with the written consent of the Bank), or with respect to an Event of Default under subsection 7.1(a)(v), (vi) or (vii) hereof, shall, by notice in writing to the Issuer, the Bank and the Company, declare the principal of all 2008A Bonds then Outstanding to be immediately due and payable; and upon such declaration the said principal, together with interest accrued thereon to the date of such declaration, shall become due and payable immediately at the place of payment provided therein, anything in the Indenture or in the 2008A Bonds to the contrary notwithstanding.  Upon the occurrence of any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall immediately declare all payments under the Loan Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4 thereof to be due and payable immediately.

 

Immediately after any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee, to the extent it has not already done so, shall notify in writing the Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Bank, and the Remarketing Agent of the occurrence of such acceleration.  Upon the occurrence of any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall notify by first class mail, postage prepaid, the owners of all Outstanding 2008A Bonds of the occurrence of such acceleration.

 

Upon any such declaration hereunder, the Trustee shall immediately, on the date of such declaration, draw upon the Letter of Credit to the full extent permitted by the terms thereof (such drawing to include amounts in respect of interest accruing on the 2008A Bonds through the date of declaration).  Upon receipt by the Trustee of payment of the full amount drawn on the Letter of Credit and provided sufficient moneys are available in the Bond Fund to pay pursuant to Section 3.2 all sums due on the 2008A Bonds, (i) interest on the 2008A Bonds shall cease to accrue on the date of such declaration and (ii) the Bank shall succeed to and be subrogated to the right, title and interest of the Trustee and the Registered Owners in and to the Loan Agreement, all funds held under this Indenture (except any funds held in the Debt Service Fund or the Letter of Credit Purchase Account which are identified for the payment of the 2008A Bonds or of the purchase price of undelivered 2008A Bonds) and any other security held for the payment of the 2008A Bonds, all of which, upon payment of any fees and expenses due and payable to the Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement or this Indenture, shall be assigned by the Trustee to the Bank.

 

If, after the principal of the 2008A Bonds has become due and payable, all arrears of interest upon the 2008A Bonds are paid by the Issuer, and the Issuer also performs all other things in respect to which it may have been in default hereunder and pays the reasonable charges of the Trustee and the Registered Owners, including reasonable and necessary attorneys' fees and expenses, then, and in every such case, the owners of a majority in principal amount of the 2008A Bonds then Outstanding, by notice to the Issuer and to the Trustee, may annul such acceleration and its consequences, and such annulment shall be binding upon the Trustee and upon all owners of 2008A Bonds issued hereunder; provided that there shall be no annulment of any declaration resulting from (A) any Event of Default specified in subsection 7.1(a)(v) or 7.1(a)(vii) without the prior written consent of the Bank, which consent shall (i) rescind the Event of Default under the Reimbursement Agreement; (ii) rescind the notice of such Event of Default; and (iii) reinstate the Letter of Credit, and (B) any Event of Default which has resulted in a drawing under the Letter of Credit or any Event of Default specified in Section 7.1(a)(vi) unless the Trustee has received written notice from the Bank that the Letter of Credit has been fully reinstated and that the expiration event has been rescinded and notice of the event of default under the reimbursement agreement has been rescinded or an Alternate Credit Facility has been provided pursuant to Section 2C7 hereof.  No such annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.  The Trustee shall forward a copy of any notice from Registered Owners received by it pursuant to this paragraph to the Company.  Immediately upon such annulment, the Trustee shall cancel, by notice to the Company, any demand for prepayment of all amounts due under the Loan Agreement made by the Trustee pursuant to this Section.  The Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such annulment to the Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Remarketing Agent, and, if notice of the acceleration of the 2008A Bonds shall have been given to the Registered Owners, shall give notice thereof to the Registered Owners.

 

Section 7.3. Legal Proceedings by Trustee.

 

If any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee in its discretion may, and upon the written request of the Registered Owners of 25% or more in principal amount of the 2008A Bonds then Outstanding and receipt of indemnity to its sole satisfaction shall (and, so long as the Bank has not wrongfully dishonored any drawing under the Letter of Credit, with the written consent of the Bank), in its own name;

 

(a) By mandamus, or other suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity, enforce all rights of the Registered Owners, including the right to require the Issuer or the Company to carry out any other agreements with, or for the benefit of, the Registered Owners;

 

(b) Bring suit upon the 2008A Bonds;

 

(c) By action or suit in equity require the Issuer to account as if it were the trustee of an express trust for the Registered Owners; and

The Registered Owners of a majority in principal amount of the 2008A Bonds then Outstanding hereunder shall have the right to direct the method and place of conducting all remedial proceedings by the Trustee hereunder; provided that the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, upon advice of counsel, determines that the action so directed may not be lawfully taken or if the Trustee in good faith determines that the action so directed might involve the Trustee in personal liability or might unduly prejudice the interests of the Registered Owners not parties to such direction, it being understood that the Trustee has no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions so directed are unduly prejudicial to such Registered Owners.

 

Section 7.6. Limitations on Actions by Registered Owners.

 

No Registered Owner shall have any right to pursue any remedy hereunder unless (a) the Trustee shall have been given written notice of an Event of Default or the Trustee is deemed to have notice as provided in Section 8.3(h), (b) the Registered Owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the 2008A Bonds then Outstanding shall have requested the Trustee, in writing, to exercise the powers hereinabove granted or to pursue such remedy in its or their name or names, (c) the Trustee shall have been offered indemnity satisfactory to it against costs, expenses and liabilities, and (d) the Trustee shall have failed to comply with such request within a reasonable time; it being understood and intended that no one or more Registered Owners shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by its, his or their action or to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the owners of all 2008A Bonds then Outstanding.  Nothing contained in this Indenture, however, shall affect or impair the right of any Registered Owner to enforce the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any 2008A Bond at and after the maturity thereof, or the obligation of the Issuer to cause the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on each of the 2008A Bonds issued hereunder to the respective owners thereof on the date, at the place, from the source and in the manner in the 2008A Bonds expressed.

 

Section 7.7. Trustee May Enforce Rights Without Possession of 2008A Bonds.

 

All rights under this Indenture and the 2008A Bonds may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any 2008A Bonds or the production thereof at the trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name for the ratable benefit of the Registered Owners of the 2008A Bonds.

 

Section 7.8. Remedies Not Exclusive.

 

Except as limited under Section 11.1 of this Indenture, no remedy herein conferred is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each remedy is in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

 

Section 7.9. Delays and Omissions Not to Impair Rights.

 

No delay or omission in respect of exercising any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair such right or power or be a waiver of such default, and every remedy given by this Article may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

 

Section 7.10. Application of Moneys in Event of Default.

 

Any moneys received by the Trustee under this Article shall be applied in the following order; provided, however, that all moneys received by the Trustee pursuant to any drawing made upon the Letter of Credit pursuant to Section 7.2 shall be applied by the Trustee to and only to the payment of principal of and interest on the 2008A Bonds:

 

(a)           To the payment of the reasonable costs and expenses of the Trustee, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, any disbursements of the Trustee with interest thereon at the prime rate of the Trustee (or its primary banking Affiliate) and its reasonable compensation; and

 

(b)           To the payment of principal or redemption price (as the case may be) and interest then owing on the 2008A Bonds, and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay the same in full, then to the payment of principal or redemption price and interest ratably, without preference or priority of one over another or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest; and

 

(c)           To the payment of reasonable costs and expenses of the Issuer, including reasonable counsel fees and expenses, incurred in connection with the Event of Default.

(iv) no provision of this Indenture 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, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity, satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion, against such risk or liability is not assured to it.

The Trustee shall also give to the parties to the Financing Documents and the Registered Owners written notice within five (5) Business Days of receipt by it of any notification from the Internal Revenue Service that the interest on the 2008A Bonds is, or may be, subject to federal income taxation.

If the Issuer or Company shall pay or cause to be paid, or there shall be otherwise paid or provision for payment made to or for the Owners from time to time of the 2008A Bonds, the principal of, premium, if any, and interest due or to become due thereon on the dates and in the manner stipulated therein, and shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums of money due or to become due according to the provisions hereof and if all other liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement shall have been satisfied, then these presents and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, determine and be void, whereupon the lien of this Indenture shall be canceled and discharged (except with respect to moneys held by the Trustee or Paying Agent hereunder for the payment of 2008A Bonds as aforesaid, and the rights and immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent hereunder), and upon written request of the Issuer or the Company, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Issuer such instruments in writing as shall be required by the Issuer or the Company to cancel and discharge the lien hereof and thereof, and reconvey, release, assign and deliver unto the Issuer and the Company, respectively, the estate, right, title and interest in and to any and all property conveyed, assigned or pledged to the Trustee or otherwise subject to the lien of this Indenture.  Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee and Paying Agent shall comply with the provisions of Section 8.19 hereof in connection with any final payment of all outstanding 2008A Bonds hereunder.

 

Any 2008A Bond shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Section 10.1 when payment of the principal of, and premium and tender purchase price payments, if any, on such 2008A Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption prior to maturity or upon optional or mandatory tender, as provided in this Indenture or otherwise), either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided by irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of and subject to a security interest in favor of the owner of such 2008A Bond, and irrevocably setting aside exclusively for such payment on such due date, (1) moneys sufficient to make such payment, or (2) Government Obligations maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts and on such dates as will (together with any moneys held under clause (1)), in the written opinion to the Trustee from a firm of certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee, provide sufficient moneys without reinvestment to make such payment, and if all necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee pertaining to the 2008A Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made and all other liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement shall have been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the satisfaction of the Trustee; provided, however, that (x) such amount on deposit described in (1) or (2) above shall be deemed sufficient only if (A) while the 2008A Bonds bear interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Monthly Rate, it provides for payment of interest on the 2008A Bonds at the maximum rate of 12% per annum and the Issuer shall have surrendered any power hereunder to thereafter change such maximum rate applicable to such 2008A Bonds, or (B) while the 2008A Bonds bear interest at a Term Rate, it provides for payment of interest on the 2008A Bonds at the current Term Rate and the 2008A Bonds mature or are scheduled to be redeemed at or prior to the expiration of the current Term Rate Period, (y) in the opinion of Bond Counsel, delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer, such deposit of Government Obligations described in (2) above will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on the 2008A Bonds or cause any of the 2008A Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of Section 148 of the Code, and (z) any 2008A Bond shall be deemed to be paid only if (A) the Trustee and the Paying Agent hold in the Debt Service Fund (or a separate escrow account) cash constituting Available Moneys and/or such obligations purchased with Available Moneys for payment of such 2008A Bonds pursuant to Section 3.2 above in amounts sufficient, together with the earnings thereon, to make all payments specified above with respect to such 2008A Bonds, as verified by an accountant's certification in form and by an accountant not unacceptable to the Trustee and the Rating Service, and (B) in the case of 2008A Bonds bearing interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Monthly Rate, the 2008A Bonds have been called for redemption on a date not more than sixty (60) days from the date provision for payment is being made pursuant to this Section.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, if provision is to be made for the payment of all, or less than all, of the Outstanding 2008A Bonds, the Trustee shall have received written confirmation from the Rating Service that any then-current ratings on the 2008A Bonds will not be reduced or withdrawn.  At such time as a 2008A Bond shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the purposes set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 hereof and any such payment from such moneys or Government Obligations on the date or dates specified at the time of such deposit.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of 2008A Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the maturity date, no deposit under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such 2008A Bonds as aforesaid until proper notice of redemption of such 2008A Bonds shall have been previously given in accordance with Article V hereof, or until the Company, on behalf of the Issuer, shall have given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, irrevocable written instructions:

 

(a) stating the redemption date when the principal (and premium, if any) of each such 2008A Bond is to be paid (which may be any redemption date permitted by this Indenture); and

 

(b) to call for redemption pursuant to this Indenture any 2008A Bonds to be redeemed prior to the maturity date pursuant to (a) hereof.

 

In the case of 2008A Bonds which are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding sixty (60) days, the Trustee shall mail, as soon as practicable, in the manner prescribed by Article V hereof, a notice to the Owners of such 2008A Bonds that the deposit required by (ii) above has been made with the Trustee and that said 2008A Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this Section 10.1 and stating the redemption or maturity date upon which moneys are to be available for the payment of the redemption price on or principal of said 2008A Bonds.

 

Any moneys so deposited with the Trustee as provided in this Section 10.1 may at the written direction of the Company also be invested and reinvested in Government Obligations, maturing in the written opinion of a firm of certified public accountants delivered and not unsatisfactory to the Trustee in the amounts and on the dates as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all Government Obligations in the hands of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1 which, in the written opinion to the Trustee from a firm of certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee, is not required for the payment of the 2008A Bonds and interest and premium, if any, thereon with respect to which such moneys are deposited, shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund as and when collected for use and application as are other moneys deposited in that fund.

 

Anything in Article IX hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, if moneys or Government Obligations have been deposited or set aside with the Trustee pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of the principal of, and premium and purchase price, if any, and interest on the 2008A Bonds and the principal of, and premium and purchase price, if any, and interest on such 2008A Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the provisions of this Section 10.1 shall be made without the consent of the Owner of each of the 2008A Bonds affected thereby.

 

If an agreement with a Securities Depository as described in Section 2.11 hereof is then in effect and such agreement provides for the Company to obtain a CUSIP number in the event of a partial refunding or redemption of the 2008A Bonds and the authentication of a new 2008A Bond for the refunded or redeemed 2008A Bonds, then the Company shall comply with the provisions of such agreement.

 

Section 10.2. Effect of Defeasance.

 

Notwithstanding anything stated to the contrary in this Article, no defeasance hereunder shall relieve the Trustee or the Paying Agent of any duty with respect to, or discharge or terminate the provisions hereof with respect to, the payment, transfer, purchase, exchange, registration or redemption of 2008A Bonds, as the case may be.

 

 

 

Section 11.1. Limitations on Recourse; Immunity of Certain Persons.

 

No recourse shall be had for any claim based on this Indenture or the 2008A Bonds against any past, present or future member, officer, official or employee of the Issuer, either directly or through the Issuer or any such successor body, under any constitutional provision, statute or rule of law or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability and all such claims being hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the 2008A Bonds.  The 2008A Bonds are payable solely from the Revenues pledged hereunder and other moneys held by the Trustee hereunder for such purpose.  The Issuer shall be conclusively deemed to have complied with all of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, including but not limited to those set forth in Articles III and VI hereof, upon requiring the Company in the Loan Agreement to agree to perform such Issuer covenants and other obligations (excepting only any approvals or consents permitted or required to be given by the Issuer hereunder, and any exceptions to the performance by the Company of the Issuer’s covenants and other obligations hereunder, as may be contained in the Loan Agreement).  However, nothing contained in any such agreement in the Loan Agreement shall prevent the Issuer from time to time, in its discretion, from performing any such covenants or other obligations.  The Issuer shall have no liability for any failure to fulfill, or breach by the Company of, the Company’s obligations under the 2008A Bonds, this Indenture, the Loan Agreement, or otherwise, including without limitation the Company’s obligation to fulfill the Issuer’s covenants and other obligations under this Indenture.

 

Section 11.2. Deposit of Funds for Payment of 2008A Bonds.

 

If the principal or redemption price of any 2008A Bonds becoming due, either at maturity or by call for redemption or otherwise, together with all interest accruing thereon to the due date, has been paid or provision therefor made in accordance with Section 10.1, all interest on such 2008A Bonds shall cease to accrue on the due date and all liability of the Issuer with respect to such 2008A Bonds shall likewise cease, except as hereinafter provided.  Thereafter the Owners of such 2008A Bonds shall be restricted exclusively to the funds so deposited for any claim of whatsoever nature with respect to such 2008A Bonds, and the Trustee shall hold such funds in trust for such owners.

 

Other than moneys held in the Letter of Credit Debt Service Account and the Letter of Credit Purchase Account which shall be distributed pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, moneys which remain unclaimed two years after the due date shall, subject to any applicable provisions of law relating to escheat of property, at the written request of the Company, and if the Company is not, at the time, to the knowledge of the Trustee, in default with respect to any covenant in the Loan Agreement or the 2008A Bonds, be paid to the Company, and the owners of the 2008A Bonds for which the deposit was made shall thereafter be limited to a claim against the Company.  Such moneys while held by the Trustee shall be held in trust uninvested.  Before being required to make a payment to the Company under this Section 11.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive at the Company’s expenses an opinion of Counsel to the effect that such payment is permitted under the provisions of Pennsylvania law.  In the absence of any such written request from the Company, 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.  Any money held by the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.2 shall be held uninvested and without any liability for interest.

 

Section 11.3. No Rights Conferred on Others.

 

Nothing herein contained shall confer any right upon any Person other than the parties hereto, the Company and the Registered Owners of the 2008A Bonds.

 

Section 11.4. Illegal, Etc. Provisions Disregarded.

 

If any term or provision of this Indenture or the 2008A Bonds or the application thereof for any reason or circumstances shall to any extent be held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions or the application of such term or provision to persons and situations other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected thereby, and each term and provision hereof and thereof shall be valid and enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

Section 11.5. Substitute Publication of Notice.

 

If for any reason it shall be impossible to make publication of any notice required hereby in a newspaper or newspapers, then such publication in lieu thereof as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient publication of such notice.
