(v) An Opinion of Counsel to the Company to the effect that the supplement to the Facility Lease Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Company.
(vi) A written request of an Issuer Representative to the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Additional Bonds.
Section 2.08. Other Indebtedness. Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.07 hereof, the Issuer hereafter shall not issue any bonds, notes, debentures, or other evidences of indebtedness of a similar nature, other than the Bonds, on a parity with the Bonds (except as otherwise provided in this Indenture), payable out of or secured by the pledge or assignment of the Trust Estate and shall not create or cause to be created any other lien or charge on the Trust Estate, other than Permitted Encumbrances; provided, however, that nothing in this Indenture shall prevent the Issuer from issuing, if and to the extent permitted by law, other evidences of indebtedness (a) payable out of, or secured by, a pledge and assignment of any part of the Trust Estate to be derived on and after such date as the pledge of the Trust Estate provided in this Indenture shall be discharged and satisfied as provided in Section 11.01 hereof or (b) with the prior written consent of a Company Representative, payable solely from and secured by a pledge of the rights of the Company in and to amounts released to the Company from the Surplus Fund; and provided, further, however, such evidences of indebtedness must (i) be fully subordinated in all respects to the pledge of the Trust Estate created under this Indenture in favor of the Bonds, and (ii) provide that the holders of such evidences of indebtedness have no right to exercise remedies under the instruments or agreements evidencing such indebtedness, or as otherwise permitted by law, to enforce repayment of such indebtedness for as long as any Bonds are Outstanding.
Section 2.09. Book-Entry System. The Series 1999 Bonds shall be, and any Additional Bonds may be, issued in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC as the initial Securities Depository and registered Owner of the 1999 Bonds, and held in the custody of or by the Trustee for the account of the Securities Depository. A single certificate will be issued and delivered to the Securities Depository for each maturity of such Bonds (except as otherwise required by DTC). The actual purchasers 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 the Bonds as provided herein, all transfers of beneficial ownership interests will be made by book-entry only, and no investor or other party purchasing, selling or otherwise transferring beneficial ownership of Bonds is to receive, hold or deliver any Bond certificate.
49
Except as provided in Section 13.12, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Company shall treat the Securities Depository (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive Owner of the Bonds registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of and interest on or Redemption Price, if any, of the Bonds or portion thereof to be redeemed, and of giving any notice permitted or required to be given to Bondholders under this Indenture and neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor the Company shall have any responsibility or obligations to the Securities Depository, any Participant, any Beneficial Owner or any other person which is not shown on the bond register maintained by the Trustee, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by the Securities Depository or any Participant; the payment by the Securities Depository or any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of and interest on the Bonds: any notice which is permitted or required to be given to Bondholders under the Indenture; the selection by the Securities Depository or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds; or any consent given or other action taken by the Securities Depository as a Series Bondholder. The Trustee shall pay all principal of and interest on or Redemption Price, if any, of the Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., only to or “upon the order of the Securities Depository (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Illinois and New York), and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Issuer’s obligations with respect to the principal of and interest on or Redemption Price, if any, of such Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
The Issuer and the Trustee covenant and agree, so long as DTC shall continue to serve as Securities Depository for the Bonds, to meet the requirements of DTC with respect to required notices and other provisions of the Letter of Representations executed with respect to the Bonds.
The Issuer, the Company and the Trustee may rely conclusively upon (i) a certificate of the Securities Depository as to the identity of the Participants in the Book-Entry System with respect to the Bonds 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. The Trustee shall direct DTC to allocate the Redemption Price paid in connection with any redemption of less than all of the Bonds of a series and less than all of a maturity within a series pro rata among its direct Participants shown on its books to be the owners of such Bonds.
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 Indenture 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 transferring 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 the law of the State.
The Trustee and the Issuer, at the direction and expense of the Company, may from time to time appoint a successor Securities Depository and enter into an agreement with the Securities
50
Depository, to establish procedures with respect to the Bonds not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture. Any successor Securities Depository shall be approved by the Trustee and shall be a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The Trustee and the Issuer, at the direction and expense of the Company, will cause the delivery of bond certificates to each Beneficial Owner, registered in the name of such Beneficial Owner, under the following circumstances:
(a) 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’ written notice to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee and discharging its responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law; or
(b) The Company determines not to continue the Book-Entry System through a Securities Depository.
The Trustee is hereby authorized to make such changes to the form of Bonds attached hereto as Exhibits C-1, C-2, D and E which are not inconsistent with this Indenture and which are necessary or appropriate upon the appointment of a successor Securities Depository or while the Book-Entry System is not in effect.
If at any time, the Securities Depository ceases to hold the Bonds, thereafter all references herein to the Securities Depository shall be of no further force or effect.
GENERAL TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF BONDS
Section 3.01. Medium of Payment; Form and Date; Letters and Numbers.
(a) The Bonds shall be payable, with respect to interest, principal and Redemption Price, 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) Any Bonds of a series shall be issued only in the form of fully registered Bonds without coupons or, pursuant to the provisions of a supplemental indenture, in any other form permitted by law at the time of original issuance, including, but not limited to, Bonds which are transferable through a book-entry system.
51
(c) Each Bond shall be lettered and numbered as provided in this Indenture or the supplemental indenture authorizing the series of which such Bond is a part and so as to be distinguished from every other Bond.
(d) Bonds shall be dated as provided in this Indenture with respect to the 1999 Bonds or, in the case of Bonds of other series, the supplemental indenture authorizing the Bonds of such series.
(e) Interest on any 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 Bond is registered on the registration books of the Issuer which are maintained by the Trustee at the close of business on the Record Date for such interest. Any interest on any Bond which is payable but is not punctually paid or provided for on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Owner of such Bond on the Record Date by virtue of having been such Owner, and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the person in whose name the Bond is registered on such registration books at the close of business on a Special Record Date to be fixed by the Trustee, such date to be not more than 15 nor fewer than 10 days prior to the date of proposed payment. The Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Owner at such Owner’s address as it appears in the registration books, not fewer than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, and may, in its discretion, cause a similar notice to be published once in a newspaper of general circulation in each place where Bonds are payable, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.
Section 3.02. Legends. The Bonds of each series may contain or have endorsed thereon such provisions, specifications and descriptive words not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture as may be necessary or desirable to comply with custom, law, the rules of any securities exchange or commission or brokerage board, or otherwise, as may be determined by the Issuer or the Trustee prior to the authentication and delivery thereof.
Section 3.03. Execution and Authentication.
(a) The Bonds shall be executed in the name of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of the President of the Issuer, and the Village Clerk of the Issuer shall affix manually or by facsimile the seal of the Issuer to the Bonds and attest said seal by manual or facsimile signature. In case any one or more of the officers who shall have signed or sealed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed and sealed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Bonds may, nevertheless, be authenticated and delivered as herein provided, and may be issued as if the persons who signed or sealed such Bonds had not ceased to hold such offices. Any Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons who at the time of the execution of such Bond shall hold the proper office
52
in the Issuer, although at the date of such Bond such persons may not have been so authorized or have held such office.
(b) The Bonds shall bear a certificate of authentication, in the form set forth in this Indenture or the supplemental indenture authorizing such Bonds, executed manually by the Trustee. Only such Bonds as shall bear such certificate of authentication shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture, and no such Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Trustee. Such certificate of the Trustee upon any such Bond executed on behalf of the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and that the Owner thereof is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Section 3.04. Interchangeability of Bonds. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.06 hereof, any Bond, upon surrender at the principal office of the Trustee with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the Owner or its duly authorized attorney, may, at the option of the Owner and upon payment of any charges which the Trustee may make as provided in Section 3.06, be exchanged for an equal aggregate principal amount of fully registered Bonds of the same series and maturity and tenor of any other Authorized Denominations.
Section 3.05. Negotiability, Transfer and Registration.
(a) The transfer of each Bond shall be registrable only upon the registration books of the Issuer, which shall be kept for that purpose by the Trustee, by the Owner in person or by its attorney duly authorized in writing, upon surrender thereof with a written instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, duly executed by the Owner or its duly authorized attorney. Upon the registration of transfer of any such Bond, the Issuer shall issue in the name of the transferee a new Bond or Bonds in Authorized Denominations of the same aggregate principal amount, series, maturity and tenor as the surrendered Bond.
(b) The Issuer and the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Bond shall be registered upon the registration books of the Issuer as the absolute Owner of such Bond, whether such Bond shall be overdue or not, for the purpose of receiving payment of, or on account of, the principal and Redemption Price, if any, of and interest on such Bond and for all other purposes, and all such payments so made to any such Owner or upon its order shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, and neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
Section 3.06. Provisions with Respect to Exchanges and Transfers. In all cases in which the privilege of registering the transfer of or exchanging Bonds is exercised, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Bonds in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. All Bonds surrendered in any such exchanges shall forthwith be canceled by the
53
Trustee. For any exchange or registration of transfer of Bonds, whether temporary or definitive, the Issuer or the Trustee may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee or other governmental charge required to be paid. The Trustee shall not be required to make any registration, registration of transfer or exchange of any Bond during the period between each Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date of such Bond, or after such Bond has been called for redemption or, in the case of any proposed redemption of Bonds, during the 15 days next preceding the date of first giving notice of such redemption.
Section 3.07. Bonds Mutilated, Destroyed, Stolen or Lost. In case any Bond shall become mutilated or be destroyed, stolen or lost, the Issuer shall execute, and thereupon the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like series, maturity, tenor and principal amount (in an Authorized Denomination) as the Bonds so mutilated, destroyed, stolen or lost, in exchange and substitution for such mutilated Bond, upon surrender and cancellation of such mutilated Bond or in lieu of and substitution for the Bond destroyed, stolen or lost, upon filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee that such Bond has been destroyed, stolen or lost, and proof of Ownership thereof, and upon furnishing the Issuer and the Trustee with indemnity satisfactory to them and complying with such other reasonable regulations as the Issuer and the Trustee may prescribe and paying such expenses as the Issuer and the Trustee may incur. All Bonds so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by the Trustee in accordance with Section 13.10 hereof. Any such new Bonds issued pursuant to this Section in substitution for Bonds alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost shall constitute original additional contractual obligations on the part of the Issuer, whether or not the Bonds so alleged to be destroyed, stolen or lost shall be found at any time or be enforceable by anyone, shall be entitled to equal and proportionate benefits with all other Bonds of the same series issued under this Indenture and shall be equally secured by the moneys or securities held by the Issuer or the Trustee for the benefit of the Owners of other Bonds of the same series.
Section 3.08. Temporary Bonds.
(a) Until the definitive Bonds of any series are prepared, the Issuer may execute, in the same manner as is provided in Section 3.03, and, upon the request of the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of definitive Bonds, but subject to the same provisions, limitations and conditions as the definitive Bonds except as to the denominations thereof and as to exchangeability, one or more temporary Bonds substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which such temporary Bond or Bonds are issued, in Authorized Denominations, and with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate to temporary Bonds. The Issuer at its own expense shall prepare and execute and, upon the surrender of such temporary Bonds the Trustee shall authenticate and, without charge to the Owner thereof, deliver in exchange therefor, definitive Bonds of the same aggregate principal amount, series and maturity as the temporary Bonds surrendered in Authorized Denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits and security as definitive Bonds authenticated and issued pursuant to this Indenture.
54
(b) The Owner of any temporary Bond or Bonds may, at its option, surrender the same to the Trustee in exchange for another temporary Bond or Bonds of like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity of any Authorized Denominations, and thereupon the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and, in exchange for the temporary Bond or Bonds so surrendered and upon payment of the taxes, fees and charges provided for in Section 3.06, shall deliver a temporary Bond or Bonds of like aggregate principal amount, series and maturity in such other Authorized Denominations as shall be requested by such Owner.
(c) All temporary Bonds surrendered in exchange either for another temporary Bond or Bonds or for a definitive Bond or Bonds shall be forthwith canceled by the Trustee.
Section 4.01. Privilege of Redemption and Redemption Price. Bonds subject to redemption prior to maturity pursuant to this Indenture or a supplemental indenture shall be redeemable, upon notice given as provided in this Article IV, at such times, at such Redemption Prices and upon such terms, in addition to the terms contained in this Article IV, as may be specified in this Indenture or in the supplemental indenture authorizing such series.
Section 4.02. Redemption at the Election or Direction of the Company. In the case of any redemption of Bonds at the election or direction of the Company, the Company shall give written notice to the Trustee of its election or direction so to redeem, of the date fixed for redemption, of the series, and of the principal amounts of the Bonds of each maturity bearing the same CUSIP number of such series to be redeemed. Such notice shall be given at least 45 days prior to the specified redemption date or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee. In the event notice of redemption shall have been given as provided in Section 4.05 and the conditions to any such redemption shall have been satisfied, there shall be paid on or prior to the specified redemption date to the Trustee an amount in cash or Governmental Obligations maturing on or before the specified redemption date which together with other moneys, if any, available therefor held by the Trustee, will be sufficient to redeem all of the Bonds to be redeemed on the specified redemption date at their Redemption Price plus interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption; such amount and moneys shall be held in a separate, segregated account for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds so called for redemption.
Section 4.03. Redemption Otherwise Than at Company’s Election or Direction. Whenever by the terms of this Indenture the Trustee is required or authorized to redeem Bonds otherwise than at the election or direction of the Company, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption and pay the Redemption Price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to the date fixed for redemption, in accordance with the terms of Articles IV and V to the extent applicable.
55
Section 4.04. Selection of Bonds to Be Redeemed.
(a) Unless otherwise provided by supplemental indenture or the terms of this Indenture, if less than all of the Bonds of like maturity and CUSIP number of a series shall be called for redemption, the particular Bonds or portion of Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata among all Bonds of such maturity in such manner as the Trustee in its discretion may deem fair and appropriate; provided, however, that with respect to redemptions of 1999 Bonds, unless this Indenture or a supplemental indenture specifies otherwise, any such partial redemption shall be on a pro rata basis among the series subject to redemption in accordance with their relative principal amounts; and provided further that in selecting portions of such Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds of said minimum Authorized Denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond to be redeemed in part by the minimum Authorized Denomination for such series of Bonds. If less than all of the Bonds of any series are to be redeemed and such Bonds are held in book-entry only form, the Trustee shall direct the Securities Depository for such series of Bonds to select the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in such a manner as to redeem such Bonds pro rata among all of its direct Participants shown on the Securities Depository’s books to be holders of such Bonds in accordance with their relative ownership of such Bonds.
(b) If less than all of the 1999 Bonds is to be redeemed pursuant to Section 4.08, the Trustee shall first receive an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the proposed redemption of fewer than all 1999 Bonds would not result in the interest payable on the 1999 Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption being includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of any Owner, other than a “substantial user” or “related person”.
(c) At its option, the Company, on behalf of the Issuer, may deliver to the Trustee written notice, which shall (i) specify a principal amount of the Bonds of a series delivered to the Trustee therewith, or theretofore redeemed pursuant to Section 4.07 and (ii) instruct the Trustee to apply the principal amount of such Bonds so delivered or redeemed for credit against a Sinking Fund Installment specified by the Company failing due at least 45 days after delivery of such notice. Each such Bond so delivered shall be credited by the Trustee at 100% of the principal amount thereof.
Section 4.05. Notice of Redemption.
(a) When the Trustee shall receive notice from the Company of its election or direction to redeem Bonds pursuant to Section 4.02, and when redemption of Bonds is authorized or required pursuant to Section 4.03, the Trustee shall give notice, in the name of the Issuer, of the redemption of such Bonds, which notice shall specify the series, CUSIP number and maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed, the date fixed for redemption and the place or places where amounts due upon such date fixed for redemption will be payable and, if less than all of the Bonds of any like series, CUSIP number and maturity are to be redeemed, the letters and numbers or other distinguishing marks of such Bonds so to be redeemed, and, in the case of
56
Bonds to be redeemed in part only, such notice shall also specify the respective portions of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Such notice shall further state that on such date there shall become due and payable the Redemption Price of each Bond to be redeemed, or the Redemption Price of the specified portions of the principal thereof in the case of Bonds to be redeemed in part only, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and that from and after such date interest thereon shall cease to accrue and be payable. The Trustee shall mail copies of such notice by first-class mail, postage prepaid, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption, to the Owners of the Bonds to be redeemed at their addresses as shown on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee. Any notice of optional redemption may also state that the redemption is conditioned on receipt of moneys for such redemption by the Trustee on or prior to the redemption date; if such moneys are not received, the redemption of the Bonds for which notice was given shall not be made. If the Trustee mails notices of redemption as herein provided, notice shall be conclusively presumed to have been given to all Owners.
(b) In addition to the foregoing notice, further notice in the form described in paragraph (a) of this Section 4.05 shall be given by the Trustee as set out below, but no defect in said further notice nor any failure to give all or any portion of such further notice shall in any manner defeat the effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given as above prescribed:
Each further notice of redemption shall be sent at least 35 days before the redemption date by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery service to all registered securities depositories then in the business of holding substantial amounts of obligations of types comprising the Bonds (such depositories now being DTC, Midwest Securities Trust Company of Chicago, Illinois, Pacific Securities Depository Trust Company of San Francisco, California, and Philadelphia Depository Trust Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania) and to one or more Information Services.
Section 4.06. Payment of Redeemed Bonds. Notice having been given in the manner provided in Section 4.05 and any conditions to such redemption having been satisfied, the Bonds or portions thereof so called for redemption shall become due and payable on the date fixed for redemption at the Redemption Price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to such date, and, upon presentation and surrender thereof at any place specified in such notice, such Bonds, or portions thereof, shall be paid at the Redemption Price, plus interest accrued and unpaid to such date. If there shall be called for redemption less than the entire principal amount of any Bond, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon the surrender of such Bond, without charge to the Owner thereof, for the unredeemed balance of the principal amount of the Bond so surrendered, fully registered Bonds of like series, maturity and tenor in any Authorized Denominations. If, on the date fixed for redemption, moneys for the redemption of all the Bonds or portions thereof of any like series and maturity to be redeemed, together with interest to such date, shall be held by the Trustee so as to be available therefore on said date and if notice of redemption shall have been given as aforesaid, then, from and after the date fixed for redemption.
57
interest on the Bonds or portions thereof of such series and maturity so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and become payable. If said moneys shall not be so available on the date fixed for redemption, such Bonds or portions thereof shall continue to bear interest until paid at the same rate as they would have borne had they not been called for redemption.
Section 4.07. Redemption of 1999 Bonds Pursuant to Sinking Fund Installments.
(a) The Series 1999A Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest plus a premium equal to the amount credited to the Series 1999A Bond Sinking Fund Installment Subaccount pursuant to Section 5.08(c)(iv) and Section 5.04(b)(iv)(B)(II), by application by the Trustee of funds on deposit to the credit of the Series 1999A Sinking Fund Installment Subaccount on October 15 in the years and in the principal amounts as follows:

Section 4.08. Special Mandatory Redemption of the 1999 Bonds upon a Determination of Taxability. The Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption at a Redemption Price of 103% of the principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed, and the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed, plus, in any case, accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date, such date to be not later than 180 days after the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability. Fewer than all of a series of Bonds may be redeemed if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel (which opinion shall be addressed and delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer), redemption of fewer than all Bonds of such series would result in the interest payable on the Bonds of such series remaining Outstanding being not includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of any owner other than a “substantial user” or “related person.” If the lien of the Indenture as to any such series of the Bonds is discharged, as described in Section 11.01 below, prior to the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, the Bonds of such series will not be redeemed as described in this paragraph. The Company and FWC, as appropriate, may contest any proposed Determination of Taxability as contemplated by Section 6.03(e).

The designation and establishment of the various funds, accounts and subaccounts in and by this Indenture shall not be construed to require the establishment of any completely independent, self-balancing funds, as such term is commonly defined and used in governmental accounting, but rather is intended solely to constitute an earmarking of Revenues and certain assets for certain purposes and to establish certain priorities for application of such Revenues and assets as provided in this Indenture.
Section 5.03. Application of Proceeds; Provisions Relating to the Construction Fund.
(a) The proceeds received from the sale of any Additional Bonds shall be remitted to the Trustee and applied in the manner set forth in the supplemental indenture providing for the issuance of such Bonds.
(b) The proceeds of insurance (excepting business interruption insurance) received by reason of loss or damage to the Project, the proceeds of title insurance received in connection with the loss of title to all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and the proceeds of any condemnation award or other compensation in connection with condemnation proceedings shall be deposited in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account in the Construction Fund. Moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account will be applied from time to time, as follows:
(i) If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate stating that the proceeds of insurance (except title and business interruption insurance) received by reason of loss or damage to the Project are sufficient to repair, reconstruct or
65
replace the Project substantially to its prior condition, such proceeds will be retained in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account and used to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project substantially to its prior condition. If such insurance proceeds exceed the cost of such repair, reconstruction or replacement, the Trustee will transfer the balance of such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Revenue Fund after the completion of such repair, reconstruction or replacement. If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate stating that such insurance proceeds are not sufficient to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project substantially to its prior condition, the Company may file a written election with the Trustee within six months of the receipt of such insurance proceeds by the Trustee (or such longer period of time as shall be specified in such Independent Engineer’s Certificate) (i) to apply such insurance proceeds, together with other available moneys, to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project substantially to its prior condition, in which event, such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be so applied, or (ii) to apply a portion of such insurance proceeds to repair, reconstruct or replace a portion of the Project (provided, that the Owners of a majority of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds voting a single class shall have consented to such application), in which event such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be so applied. If such insurance proceeds exceed the cost of any such repair, reconstruction or replacement in the case of clause (ii) above, the Trustee will transfer the balance of such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture, after the completion of such repair, reconstruction or replacement. In the event that the moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account are not sufficient to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project or a portion thereof as described above and the Trustee does not receive such a written election of the Company within the applicable period of time, the Trustee will transfer such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture.
(ii) If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate stating that condemnation or loss of title to any of the Mortgaged Property does not materially affect the operation of the Project, any proceeds of any condemnation award or compensation in connection with such proceedings or title insurance will be transferred to the Revenue Fund. If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate stating that any condemnation or loss of title to any of the Mortgaged Property materially affects the operation of the Project and that such condemnation or title insurance proceeds are sufficient to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project to substantially the same level of operation immediately prior to such condemnation or, in the case of a title defect, to cure such defect, such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be so applied. If such condemnation exceed the cost of such repair, reconstruction or replacement, the Trustee will transfer the balance of
66
such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Revenue Fund after the completion of such repair, reconstruction or replacement. If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate stating that any condemnation or loss of title to any portion of the Mortgaged Property materially affects the operation of the Project but that such condemnation proceeds are not sufficient to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project to substantially the same level of operation immediately prior to such condemnation or, in the case of loss of title, the title insurance proceeds are not adequate to cure the title defect or that the title defect cannot be cured, the Company may file a written election with the Trustee within six months of the receipt of such condemnation or title insurance proceeds by the Trustee (or such longer period of time as shall be specified in such Independent Engineer’s Certificate) (i) to apply such condemnation proceeds, together with other available moneys, to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project to substantially the same level of operation immediately prior to such condemnation or, in the case of loss of title, to cure the title defect, in which event such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be so applied, or (ii) to apply a portion of such condemnation proceeds to repair, reconstruct or replace a portion of the Project or, in the case of loss of title, to cure the title defect (provided, that the Owners of a majority of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds voting a single class shall have consented to such application) in which event such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be so applied. If such condemnation or title insurance proceeds exceed the cost of any such repair, reconstruction or replacement or curing the title defect in the case of clause (ii) above, the Trustee will transfer the balance of such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture, after the completion of such repair, reconstruction or replacement or curing of the title defect. If the Trustee shall have received an Independent Engineer’s Certificate with respect to condemnation or title insurance proceeds stating that the Project cannot be repaired, reconstructed or replaced under any circumstance or that the title defect cannot be cured for any reason or in the event that the moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account are not sufficient to repair, reconstruct or replace the Project or a portion thereof or to cure the title defect as described above and the Trustee does not receive such a written election of the Company within the applicable period of time, the Trustee will transfer such moneys on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account to the Redemption Fund to redeem Bonds prior to maturity pursuant to Section 4.09 of this Indenture.
(iii) Any certificate of the Independent Engineer contemplated by this Section 5.03(b) shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.
(c) Project Costs to be paid from amounts on deposit in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account shall be drawn upon in accordance with Section 5.03(b)(i) or (ii) and upon receipt by the Trustee of a (X) written requisition of the Company, signed by a Company
67
Representative, (Y) certificate of the contractor performing such repair, reconstruction or replacement to the effect that the work performed to date has been performed satisfactorily and in a good and workmanlike manner in accordance with Prudent Engineering and Operating Practices, and (Z) certificate of the Independent Engineer (which certificate shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) confirming with respect to such repair or replacement the representations of the Company made in such requisition pursuant to clause (iv), if applicable, and (vii) below with respect to the contract pursuant to which such repairs or replacements are to be made. Each requisition shall state with respect to the payment to be made and the contract pursuant to which such repairs or replacements are to be made, the statements set forth in clauses (i) through (viii) below:
(i) the requisition number;
(ii) the name of the Person to whom payment is due or to whom a reimbursable advance, if any, has been made;
(iii) the amount to be paid and the account or subaccounts from which such amounts shall be withdrawn;
(iv) in the case of restoration costs incurred of an aggregate amount equal to the amount to be paid have been properly incurred by the Company, are currently due and payable, are a proper charge against such Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account, are unpaid or unreimbursed and have not been the subject of any previous withdrawals;
(v) that the withdrawal of the amount to be paid from the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account and the use of the property financed or reimbursed therefrom has not resulted and will not result in a violation of Section 5.27 of the Facility Lease Agreement;
(vi) that the amount remaining in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account together with other moneys of the Company available or reasonably expected by the Company to be available for application to pay restoration costs of the Project;
(vii) that no Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement has occurred and is continuing, or, if such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, it will be cured by the intended application of the moneys drawn under such requisition; and
(viii) that no event has occurred and is continuing that, with the passage of time, would cause an Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing, it will be cured by the intended application of the moneys drawn under such requisition.
68
(d) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and the Lease Payments due under the Facility Lease Agreement shall become immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 7.2 of the Facility Lease Agreement, the Trustee will transfer moneys in the Construction Fund to the Bond Fund (and to the accounts therein in the order of priority set forth in Section 5.04(b)(iii) and (iv) hereof) to the extent necessary to make payments on the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 199B Bonds, regardless of the other provisions of this Section 5.03.

The Trustee shall not purchase any Term Bonds within 45 days of a scheduled mandatory sinking fund redemption date for such Term Bonds.

(I) The Company does not have knowledge or could not reasonably be expected to have knowledge of the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement or an event which, with the passage of time, would constitute an Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement, which Event of Default or event, in any case, would cause a Material Adverse Effect; provided, however, that the Illinois Public Utilities Act Amendment shall not be considered such an Event of Default or other event for purposes of this clause (I); and
(II) The Debt Service Coverage Ratio (i) for the calendar year preceding the date of such certificate is equal to at least 1.20 to 1.00, and (ii) based on projections prepared by the Company in good faith based upon assumptions consistent in all material respects with the Project Agreements and the historical operating results of the Project on a reasonable basis, the Debt Service Coverage Ratio for the current calendar year is projected to be at least 1.20 to 1.00, provided if the projected Debt Service Coverage Ratio is 1.30 to 1.00 or below, the projections require the written confirmation of the Independent Engineer (which confirmation shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
(C) In the event that the Trustee has not received the certificate of the Company Representative described in clause (vii)(B) of Section 5.04(b) within ninety days after the end of the preceding calendar year, the Trustee shall transfer all amounts then on deposit in the Distribution Subaccount to the Surplus Account.

The Series 1999A Bonds are the only Bonds issuable under this Indenture that are additionally secured by a pledge of the Special Tax Allocation Account, the Incremental Taxes credited thereto and all investment earnings thereon. Such pledge shall continue in full force and effect until the obligations of the Issuer with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds are discharged under this Indenture.

The Issuer shall determine annually, within 180 days after the close of the Issuer’s fiscal year, whether any amount held in the Incremental Tax Surplus Account as of the close of such fiscal year constituted “surplus
75
funds” under the TIF Act. All “surplus funds” shall be withdrawn from the Incremental Tax Surplus Account and distributed to taxing districts as provided in the TIF Act.

Upon the purchase or redemption (otherwise than by sinking fund redemption) of Bonds for which Sinking Fund Installments have been established, there shall be credited toward the remaining Sinking Fund Installments thereafter to become due with respect to Bonds of the same series and maturity as the Bonds so purchased or redeemed in the inverse order of their due dates; provided, however, that the principal amount of Series 1999C Bonds redeemed pursuant to Section 4.10(b) shall be credited toward the remaining Sinking Fund Installment in the order of their due dates.

(b) The Issuer and the Trustee shall not be required to comply with the requirements of this Section 5.08 in the event that the Company delivers to the Trustee an Opinion of Bond Counsel that (i) non-compliance will not affect adversely the exclusion, if any, from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any of the Tax-Exempt Bonds and/or (ii) compliance with some other requirement is required in order to maintain the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on any of the Tax-Exempt Bonds.

The fair market value of an investment is the price at which a willing buyer would purchase the investment from a willing seller in a bona fide, arm’s length transaction. The Trustee shall not be liable for any Permitted Investments (or the realization of earnings or any losses resulting therefrom) made pursuant to any direction made pursuant to this Section 5.13. In the absence of such direction, the Trustee shall invest moneys as soon as is practicable in
80
Permitted Investments identified in clause (iv) of the definition thereof. The Trustee shall not permit more than an aggregate of $50,000 in all of the funds, accounts and subaccounts established hereunder to remain uninvested overnight.
(b) Moneys in any fund, account or subaccount may only be invested in Permitted Investments as directed by a Company Representative, as specified or provided for above.
(c) Permitted Investments made pursuant to this Indenture shall not mature later than the date on which the proceeds thereof are reasonably expected to be required to fund Project Costs according to the Construction Contract and otherwise for the purpose for which they are held; provided, however, that investments of money in the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall not be subject to any investment tenor restrictions, except that such investments shall mature no later than the final maturity of the Bonds.

Section 5.14. Valuation and Sale of Investments. Bonds purchased as an investment of moneys in any fund, account or subaccount created under the provisions of this Indenture shall be deemed at all times to be a part of such fund, account or subaccount and any profit from the liquidation of such investment shall be credited to such fund, account or subaccount, and any loss resulting from the liquidation of such investment shall be charged to the respective fund, account or subaccount.
The Trustee shall determine the value of all investments in the Debt Service Reserve Account on the tenth day of the month next preceding each Interest Payment Date and immediately after any withdrawal from such Account (other than a transfer of investment earnings).
In computing the amount in any fund, account or subaccount created under the provisions of this Indenture for any purpose provided in this Indenture, obligations purchased as an investment of moneys therein shall be valued at the fair market value of such obligations, exclusive of accrued interest.
81
Section 6.01. Payment of Bonds. The Issuer will promptly pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds on the dates and in the manner provided in the Bonds, but only from the sources available therefor under this Indenture.
Section 6.02. Further Assurances. The Issuer will execute and deliver such supplemental indentures and such further instruments, and do such further acts, as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring and confirming to the Trustee the amounts from the sources available under this Indenture for the payments of the Bonds.
Section 6.03. Tax Covenants.
(a) The Issuer covenants, for the benefit of (i) the Owners of the Tax-Exempt Bonds and (ii) FWC solely with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds, that it will not take any action, or fail to take any action, if any such action or failure to take action would adversely affect the exclusion of the interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds from federal gross income for federal tax purposes. The Issuer will not directly or indirectly use or permit the use of any proceeds of the Tax-Exempt Bonds or any other funds of the Issuer, or take or omit to take any action that would cause the Tax-Exempt Bonds to be “arbitrage bonds” within the meaning of Section 148(a) of the Code. To that end, the Issuer will comply with all requirements of Section 148 of the Code to the extent applicable to the Tax-Exempt Bonds. In the event that at any time the Issuer, after receipt of an opinion of Bond Counsel, is of the opinion that for purposes of this Section it is necessary to restrict or to limit the yield on the investment of any moneys held by the Trustee under this Indenture, the Issuer (to the extent that it has control over any of such moneys) shall so instruct the Trustee in writing, and the Trustee shall take such action as may be necessary in accordance with such instructions.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Issuer agrees pursuant to Article IV of the Tax Agreement that there shall be paid from time to time all amounts required to be rebated to the United States pursuant to Section 148(f) of the Code and any temporary, proposed or final Treasury Regulations as may be applicable to the Tax-Exempt Bonds from time to time. This covenant shall survive payment in full of the Tax-Exempt Bonds or the discharge of the lien of this Indenture. The Issuer specifically covenants to pay or cause to be paid to the United States the amounts required under the Tax Agreement at the times required thereunder.
(c) The Issuer will comply with the yield restrictions of amounts held under this Indenture as set forth in the Tax Agreement.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Section, if the Company provides to the Trustee and the Issuer a Favorable Opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that any action required
82
under this Section is no longer required, or to the effect that some further action is required, to maintain the exclusion of interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds from federal gross income, the Trustee and the Issuer may conclusively rely on such opinion in complying with the provisions of this Indenture, and the covenants under this Indenture shall be deemed to be modified to that extent.
(e) The Issuer agrees to cooperate with the Company and FWC in the event that it is notified by the Trustee or FWC solely with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds that the Internal Revenue Service or any other person has alleged that the interest on the Tax-Exempt Bonds, or any of them, is subject to Federal income tax to an extent that it was not on the date that such Bonds were issued. Such cooperation may entail, among other things, granting powers of attorney to the Company or FWC or its attorneys and agents. The Issuer shall be under no obligation so to cooperate, to enter any appearance or in any way defend against any such allegation until it shall be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction against any and all liability, costs and expenses it may incur by virtue of such cooperation.
Section 6.04. Performance of Covenants: The Issuer. The Issuer covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations and provisions contained in this Indenture, in any and every Bond executed, authenticated and delivered hereunder, the Issuer Documents and in all of its proceedings pertaining thereto.

(a) it is duly authorized under the Constitution and laws of the State, including particularly and without limitation the Act, the Local Government Debt Reform Act and the TIF Act, to issue the Bonds authorized hereby and to execute this Indenture, to mortgage and grant a security interest in the Mortgaged Property and to assign and pledge the Trust Estate in the manner and to the extent herein set forth:
(b) that all action required on its part for the issuance of the 1999 Bonds and the execution and delivery of this Indenture has been duly and effectively taken; and
(c) that the Bonds in the hands of the owners thereof are and will be valid and enforceable obligations of the Issuer according to the terms thereof and hereof, except to the extent that the enforceability of the same may be limited by Laws relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.
Section 6.05. Right to Payments under Facility Lease Agreement: Instruments of Further Assurance.
(a) The Issuer covenants that it lawfully owns the Leased Land described in Exhibit A attached hereto and made a part hereof against all persons claiming under the Issuer, and that it has good and indefeasible title and estate thereto, except for Permitted Encumbrances. The Issuer covenants that it has lawfully acquired and owns or it will cause to be lawfully acquired
83
and owned all machinery, equipment and related property described in Exhibit B attached hereto and made a part hereof, and that any machinery, equipment and related property now or hereafter constituting a part of the Leased Equipment shall be kept free of all Liens, except Permitted Liens. The Issuer covenants that it will defend its right to the Project and each part thereof, for the benefit of the Trustee against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever claiming under the Issuer. The Issuer covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such mortgages or indentures supplemental hereto and such further acts, instruments assigned hereby and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better mortgaging, assuring, transferring, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee all and singular the rights assigned hereby and the Trust Estate pledged and assigned hereby to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds. The Issuer covenants and agrees that, except as herein and in the Site Lease and the Facility Lease Agreement provided, and except for Permitted Liens, it will not sell, convey, mortgage, encumber or otherwise dispose of any portion of the Trust Estate or its rights under the Site Lease or the Facility Lease Agreement.
(b) Promptly after any re-filing, re-registering or re-recording of this Indenture, the Site Lease or the Facility Lease Agreement or any filing, registration, recording, re-filing, re-registration or re-recording of any supplement to any of said instruments, any financing statement or instrument of similar character relating to any of said instruments or any instrument of further assurance which is required pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the Issuer will deliver or cause to be delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such filing, registration, recording, re-filing, re-registration or re-recording has been duly accomplished and setting forth the particulars thereof, and whatever actions, if any, are necessary on the part of the Company in order to perfect, preserve and protect the lien of the Indenture. The Issuer will, and will cause the Company to, comply with Section 5.31 of the Facility Lease Agreement.
If an Opinion of Counsel referred to in the preceding paragraph is not timely delivered, the Trustee shall make a request therefor upon the Company, and if such opinion is not received within ten Business Days after such request, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Issuer in writing. Upon receipt of said Opinion of Counsel, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, be responsible for performing whatever actions, recordings, re-recordings and re-filings are indicated as being necessary in order to continue the perfection, preservation and protection of the lien of this Indenture. Such actions shall be taken within the time periods indicated in such Opinions of Counsel. If the Company fails to timely comply with Section 5.31 of the Facility Lease Agreement, the Trustee shall immediately notify the Issuer.
Section 6.06. Recordation and Other Instruments. The Issuer covenants that it will cooperate with the Company and the Trustee in causing such security agreements, financing statements and all supplements thereto and other instruments as may be required from time to time to be kept, to be recorded and filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law in order to fully preserve and protect the security of the Owners of the Bonds and the rights
84
of Trustee hereunder and to perfect the absolute assignment, the lien of, and the security interest created by, this Indenture in and to the Trust Estate.

Section 7.02. Acceleration.
(a) If an Event of Default under Section 7.01(a) with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds or (b) with respect to the Series 1999B Bonds occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and the Company, or the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding voting as a single

Upon any such declaration, the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Series 1999A Bonds and the Outstanding Series 1999B Bonds shall be due and payable immediately. Upon any declaration of acceleration hereunder, the Issuer and the Trustee shall immediately declare an amount equal to all Lease Payments due under Section 4.3(a) of the Facility Lease Agreement to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the Facility Lease Agreement. Such acceleration provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, after the principal of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds shall have been so declared to be due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as provided herein, there shall be caused to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all such Bonds and the principal of any and all such 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 in this Indenture) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee, and all Events of Default hereunder other than nonpayment of the principal of such Bonds which shall have become due by said declaration shall have been remedied, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded or annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment to the Issuer and the Company and shall give notice thereof to all Owners of such Outstanding Bonds previously notified of the acceleration, but no such waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.
Section 7.03. Surrender of Possession of Mortgaged Property; Rights and Duties of Trustee in Possession. Subject to the permission of a court of competent jurisdiction and the acceleration of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds under Section 7.02, if required by law, the Issuer, upon demand of the Trustee, shall forthwith surrender the possession of, and it shall be lawful for the Trustee, by such officer or agent as it may appoint, to take possession of, all or any part of the Mortgaged Property together with the books, papers and accounts of the Issuer pertaining thereto, and including the rights and the position of the Issuer under the Site Lease, the Laydown Site Lease and the Facility Lease Agreement, and to hold, operate and manage the same, and from time to time to make all needed repairs and improvements as shall be deemed necessary by the Trustee; and the Trustee may lease, subject to the Site Lease, the Laydown Site Lease and the Facility Lease Agreement, the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof in the name and for the account of the Issuer and collect, receive and sequester the rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income, products and profits therefrom, and out of the same and any moneys received from any receiver of any part thereof pay, and/or set up proper reserves for the payment of, all proper costs and expenses of so taking, holding and managing the same, including reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsels and any charges of the Trustee hereunder, any taxes and assessments and other charges prior to the lien of this Indenture which the Trustee may deem it necessary to pay and all expenses of
88
such repairs and improvements, and apply the remainder of the moneys so received in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.16 hereof. Whenever all that is due upon all the Bonds shall have been paid and all defaults made good, the Trustee shall surrender possession to the Issuer, its successors or assigns; the same right of entry, however, to exist upon any subsequent Event of Default.
While in possession of such property the Trustee shall render annually to the Issuer and the Company and also to the Owners of all Bonds who shall so request in writing a summarized statement of income and expenditures in connection therewith.
Section 7.04. Receiver. Upon, or at any time after, the acceleration of the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds pursuant to Section 7.02 or the filing of a complaint to foreclose this Indenture, a court of competent jurisdiction may, upon the application of the Trustee, appoint a receiver of the Mortgaged Property. Such appointment may be made either before or after sale, without regard to solvency or insolvency of the Issuer at the time of application for such receiver, and without regard to the then value of the Mortgaged Property or whether the same shall be then occupied as a homestead or not; and the Trustee hereunder or any employee or agent thereof may be appointed as such receiver. Such receiver shall have the power to collect the rents, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property during the pendency of such foreclosure suit and, in case of a sale and deficiency, during the full statutory period of redemption, if any, whether there be a redemption or not, as well as during any further times when the Issuer, except for the intervention of such receiver, would be entitled to collection of such rents, issues and profits and all other powers which may be necessary or are usual in such cases for the protection, possession, control, management and operation of the Mortgaged Property during the whole of said period. The court may, from time to time, authorize the receiver to apply the net income from the Mortgaged Property in his hands in payment in whole or in part of:
(a) the Outstanding Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds secured hereby or the indebtedness secured by a judgment foreclosing this Indenture, or any tax, special assessment or other lien that may be or become superior to the lien hereof or of such judgment, provided such application is made prior to the foreclosure sale; or
(b) the deficiency in case of a sale and deficiency.
Section 7.05. Waiver. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds or the Series 1999B Bonds, to the extent that such rights may then lawfully be waived, neither the Issuer, nor anyone claiming through or under the Issuer shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture or the foreclosure of this Indenture pursuant to Section 7.06 hereof, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the extent that it lawfully may do so, the benefit of all such laws and all rights of appraisement and redemption to which it may be entitled under
89
the laws of the State. The Issuer waives any right of redemption and to the extent permitted by law; any right of reinstatement, under the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law, 735 ILCS 5/15-1601 et seq.
Section 7.06. Foreclosure of Indenture. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds under Section 7.01(a) or the Series 1999B Bonds under Section 7.01(b), the Trustee may foreclose the lien of this Indenture. In any suit to foreclose the lien hereof, there shall be allowed and included as additional indebtedness in the decree for sale all reasonable expenditures and expenses which may be paid or incurred by or on behalf of the Trustee or the Bondholders for attorneys’ fees, mortgagee’s fees, appraiser’s fees, outlays for documentary and expert evidence, stenographers’ charges, publication costs and costs (which may be estimated as to items to be expended after entry of the decree) of procuring all such abstracts of title, title searches and examinations, title insurance policies, Torrens certificates, and similar data and assurances with respect to title as the Trustee or the Owners may deem to be reasonably necessary either to prosecute such suit or to evidence to bidders at any sale which may be had pursuant to such decree the true condition of the title to or the value of the premises. All expenditures and expenses of the nature in this paragraph mentioned shall become so much additional indebtedness secured hereby and immediately due and payable, with interest thereon at a rate equal to the then current prime rate of the Trustee plus one per cent (1%) per annum when paid or incurred by the Trustee or the Owners in connection with (a) any proceedings including probate and bankruptcy proceedings, to which either of them shall be a party, either as plaintiff, claimant or defendant, by reason of this trust, deed or any indebtedness hereby secured; or (b) preparations for the commencement of any suit for the foreclosure hereof after accrual of such right to foreclose whether or not actually commenced; or (c) preparations for the defense of any threatened suit or proceeding which might affect the premises or the security hereof, whether or not actually commenced.
Section 7.07. Default in Payment of Series 1999C Bonds or the Series 1999D Bonds; Remedies.
(a) If an Event of Default with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds or the Series 1999D Bonds occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Issuer and FWC, or the Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds then Outstanding voting as a single series, by notice to the Issuer, FWC and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on such Outstanding Bonds to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Series 1999C Bonds and the Outstanding Series 1999D Bonds shall be due and payable immediately. Upon any declaration of acceleration hereunder, if an FWC Default has occurred and is then continuing, the Trustee shall immediately declare an amount equal to all Exit Payments due under the Exit Funding Agreement to be immediately due and payable in accordance with the Exit Funding Agreement. Such acceleration provisions, however, are subject to the condition that if, after the principal of the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds shall have been so declared to be due and payable, and before any judgment or
90
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as provided herein, there shall be caused to be deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all such Bonds and the principal of any and all such 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 in this Indenture) and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation and reimbursement of expenses payable to the Trustee, such Event of Default shall be deemed waived and such declaration and its consequences rescinded or annulled, and the Trustee shall promptly give written notice of such waiver, rescission or annulment to the Issuer and FWC and shall give notice thereof to all Owners of such Outstanding Bonds previously notified of the acceleration, but no such waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default under Section 7.01(c) or Section 7.01(d) or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a FWC Default under the Exit Funding Agreement unless notified in writing by the Issuer, the Company or an Owner of the Series 1999C Bonds or the Series 1999D Bonds.
(b) Upon the acceleration of the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds, the Trustee shall immediately apply amounts on deposit in the Series 1999C Bond Account and the Series 1999C Redemption Account and the Series 1999D Bond Account and the Series 1999D Redemption Account to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 1999C Bonds and the Accreted Amount of the Series 1999D Bonds, respectively, and, to the extent of any deficiency in such amounts, shall immediately make demand for payment from FWC, and if such payment is not immediately made, pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to enforce the performance of the Exit Funding Agreement against FWC.
(c) The Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee (which remedies are limited to the enforcement of the Exit Funding Agreement against FWC in order to pay principal of and interest on the Series 1999C Bonds and the Accreted Amount of the Series 1999D Bonds and the application of funds in the Series 1999C Bond Account and the Series 1999C Redemption Account and the Series 1999D Bond Account and the Series 1999D Redemption Account in order to pay the principal of and interest on the Series 1999C Bonds and the Accreted Amount of the Series 1999D Bonds, respectively) or of exercising any trust or power conferred on it in connection therewith. The Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with Law or this Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Owners of Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability. An Owner of a Series 1999C Bond or Series 1999D Bond may not pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture, the Series 1999C Bonds, the Series 1999D Bonds or the Exit Funding Agreement unless (i) an Owner gives the Trustee notice stating that a default with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds is continuing, (ii) the Owner(s) of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D
91
Bonds make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy, (iii) the Owner(s) offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, and (iv) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity.
Section 7.08. Illinois Uniform Commercial Code. This Indenture constitutes a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code of Illinois with respect to any part of the Mortgaged Property which may or might now or hereafter be or be deemed to be personal property, fixtures or property other than real estate (all for the purposes of this Section 7.08 called “Secured Property”); all of the terms, provisions, conditions and agreements contained in this Indenture pertain and apply to the Secured Property as fully and to the same extent as to any other property comprising the Mortgaged Property; and the following provisions of this Section 7.08 shall not limit the generality or applicability of any other provision of this Indenture but shall be in addition thereto:
(a) The Issuer (being the Debtor as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code) is and will be the true and lawful owner of the Secured Property, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances.
(b) The Secured Property is to be used by the Issuer solely for business purposes, being installed upon the Mortgaged Property for the Issuer’s own use or as the equipment and furnishings furnished by the Issuer, as landlord, to tenants of the Mortgaged Property.
(c) The Secured Property will be kept at the Facility Site comprised within the Mortgaged Property, and will not be removed therefrom without the consent of the Trustee (being the Secured Party as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code) which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the Secured Property may be affixed to such real estate but will not be affixed to any other real estate.
(d) A financing statement covering any of the Secured Property or any proceeds thereof is on file in the office of the Secretary of State of Illinois: and the Issuer will at the expense of the Company, upon demand, furnish to the Trustee such further information, execute and deliver to the Trustee such financing statements and other documents in form satisfactory to the Trustee, and do all such acts and things as the Trustee may at any time or from time to time reasonably request or as may be necessary or appropriate to establish and maintain a perfected security interest in the Secured Property as security for the indebtedness secured hereby, subject to no liens, charges or encumbrances other than Permitted Encumbrances. The Company will pay the cost of filing or recording such financing statements or other documents and this instrument in all public offices wherever filing or recording is deemed by the Trustee to be necessary or desirable.
(e) Upon any Event of Default hereunder with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds and the continuance thereof, the Trustee at its option may, and if the Bonds have been accelerated, the Trustee shall promptly, declare the indebtedness secured hereby
92
immediately due and payable, all as more fully set forth in Section 7.02 hereof, and thereupon the Trustee shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, including, without limitation, the right to take immediate and exclusive possession of the Secured Property, or any part thereof, and for that purpose may, so far as the Issuer can give authority therefor, with or without judicial process, enter without breach of the peace upon any place that the Secured Property or any part thereof may be situated and remove the same therefrom (provided that if Secured Property is affixed to real estate, such removal shall be subject to the conditions stated in the Uniform Commercial Code); and the Trustee shall be entitled to hold, maintain, preserve, and prepare the Secured Property for sale, until disposed of, or may propose to retain the Secured Property. The Trustee, without removal, may render the Secured Property unusable and dispose of the Secured Property on the Mortgaged Property. The Trustee may require the Issuer to assemble the Secured Property and make it available to the Trustee for its possession at a place to be designated by the Trustee. The Trustee will give the Issuer and the Company reasonable notice of the time and place of any public sale thereof or of the time after which any private sale or any other intended disposition thereof is made. The requirements of reasonable notice shall be met if such notice is mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses of the Issuer and the Company shown in this Indenture or in the Trustee’s records at least ten days before the time of the sale or disposition. The Trustee may buy at any public sale, and if the Secured Property is of a type customarily sold in a recognized market or is of a type which is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations, the Trustee may buy at private sale. Any such sale may be held as part of and in conjunction with any foreclosure sale of the real estate comprised within the Mortgaged Property, the Secured Property and real estate to be sold as one lot if the Trustee so elects. The net proceeds realized upon any such disposition, after deduction for the expenses or retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling or the like and reasonable attorney’s fees and legal expenses incurred by the Trustee, shall be applied against the indebtedness secured hereby. The Trustee will dispose of any surplus realized upon such disposition in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.16 hereof.
(f) The remedies of this Indenture hereunder are cumulative and the exercise of any one or more of the remedies provided for herein or under the Uniform Commercial Code shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the other remedies of the Trustee, including having the Secured Property deemed part of the realty upon any foreclosure thereof so long as any part of the indebtedness secured hereby remains unsatisfied.
(g) The terms and provisions contained in this Section 7.08 shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings and be construed as provided in the Uniform Commercial Code.
(h) This Indenture is intended to be a financing statement within the purview of Section 9-402(6) of the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Secured Property and the goods described at the beginning of this Indenture, which goods are or are to become fixtures relating to the Mortgaged Property. The address of the Issuer (Debtor) and the Trustee (Secured Party) are
93
set forth in Section 13.14 hereof. This Indenture is to be filed for record with the Recorder of Deeds of Xxxx County, Illinois.
Section 7.09. Other Remedies.

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 Owner of Bonds 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 7.10. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Event of Default as to such Bonds 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 7.11. Control by Majority.
(a) Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.02 and 7.07 hereof, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds as to which an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing 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 Indenture or that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Owners of Bonds as to which such Event of Default exists, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.
(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.11(a) or the existence and continuation of an Event of Default under Section 7.01 with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds or the Series 1999B Bonds, the Owners thereof shall be required to forebear from exercising any of their rights and remedies under this Indenture or under the Series 1999A Bonds or the Series 1999B Bonds until the earlier of: (i) the date of issue of Refunding Bonds pursuant to Section 2.07(d) hereof and (ii) the date that is two years after the Restructuring Agreement Date.

94
pursue the remedy, (c) such Owner or Owners offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense, and (d) the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity.
An Owner may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Owner of a Bond or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Owner, except as expressly provided in this Indenture.
Section 7.13. Rights of Owners to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Owner of a Bond 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 Owner.

Section 7.17. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture 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 costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 an Owner of Bonds pursuant to Section 7.13 or a suit by Owners of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of either the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds Outstanding or the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds Outstanding.
96
Section 7.18. Rights of Credit Bank or Bond Insurer. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of any applicable supplemental indenture, any Credit Bank or any Bond Insurer shall be treated as the Owner of Bonds upon which such Credit Bank or Bond Insurer is obligated pursuant to a Credit Facility or Bond Insurance Policy, as applicable, for the purposes of calculating whether or not the Owners of the requisite percentage of Bonds then Outstanding have consented to any request, consent, directive, waiver or other action permitted to be taken by the Owners of the Bonds pursuant to this Article; provided, however, that such Credit Bank or Bond Insurer shall cease to be so regarded as Owner of such Bonds in the event such Credit Bank or Bond Insurer is in default of its obligations under the applicable Credit Facility or Bond Insurance Policy.
Notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of any applicable supplemental indenture, until the Issuer has reimbursed a Credit Bank for amounts paid under a Credit Facility to pay the interest on or the principal of any Bonds on any interest or principal payment date or to the extent any Bond Insurer has exercised its rights as subrogee for the particular Bonds of which it has insured payment, (a) such Bonds shall be deemed to be Outstanding and such Credit Bank or Bond Insurer shall succeed to the rights and interests of the Owners to the extent of the amounts paid under the Credit Facility or as specified in respect of the applicable Bond Insurance Policy until such amount has been reimbursed and (b) upon presentation to the Trustee, such Bonds shall be registered in the name of the Credit Bank or its nominee or such Bond Insurer or its nominee, as appropriate.
Section 7.19. Pledges of Partnership Interests. Whenever the Trustee determines to exercise or realize upon any Pledge of Partnership Interest upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall simultaneously exercise or realize upon its rights with respect to each Pledge of Partnership Interest. The Trustee shall apply each distribution made to it as pledgee of a Pledge of Partnership Interest to satisfy the obligations of the Company under the Facility Lease Agreement, to the extent required to satisfy such obligations, on a pro rata basis based upon the Primary Distribution Percentages (as defined in the Partnership Agreement) at the time of such distributions. The Trustee shall pay any proceeds from a sale, disposition or other action taken to realize upon a Pledges Interest (as defined in the respective Pledges of Partnership Interests), in excess of the amounts required to satisfy the obligations of the Company under the Facility Lease Agreement, to each partner of the Company on a pro rata basis based upon the Primary Distribution Percentages at the time of such payments.
97
Section 8.01. Employment and Duties of the Trustee. The Issuer hereby appoints and employs the Trustee to perform the obligations contained herein; all in the manner provided herein and subject to the conditions and terms hereof.
Section 8.02. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee. The Trustee may resign by notifying the Issuer and the Company in writing. The Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, or the Company, so long as the Company is not in default under the Facility Lease Agreement, may remove the Trustee by notifying the Trustee in writing and may appoint a successor Trustee with the prior written consent of the Issuer to such appointment. In the event that the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds direct the removal of the Trustee, and there has not occurred and there shall not be continuing an Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement, the written consent of the Company is required prior to the appointment of a successor Trustee, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon any such removal or resignation, the Issuer, at the written direction of a Company Representative, so long as there has not occurred and there shall not be continuing an Event of Default under the Facility Lease Agreement, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by an instrument in writing by notice to the Trustee and the Owners of the Bonds, which successor Trustee shall promptly give notice of such appointment to all Owners of Bonds; in the event the Issuer does not appoint a successor Trustee within 30 days following the giving of any such notice of removal or the receipt of any such notice of resignation, the removed or resigning Trustee may petition any appropriate court having jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. The Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may, within one year of the appointment of a successor Trustee by the Company or the Issuer, remove such successor Trustee and appoint a new successor Trustee by notifying the Issuer, the Trustee and the Company. Any successor Trustee shall be a bank, national banking association or trust company, having a combined capital (exclusive of borrowed capital) and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by state or national authorities and authorized to do business in the State. If such bank, national banking association or trust company publishes a report of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of any supervising or examining authority above referred to, then for the purposes of this Section 8.02 the combined capital and surplus of such bank, national banking association or trust company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.
Any removal or resignation of a Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee shall become effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the preceding paragraph and the transfer by the retiring Trustee to the successor Trustee of all property held by it hereunder as Trustee.
98
The same bank, national banking association or trust company that is Trustee under this Indenture shall also be the trustee under the Retail Rate Litigation Trust Agreement. To that end, whenever the trustee under the Retail Rate Litigation Trust Agreement shall resign or be removed, the Trustee under this Indenture shall immediately resign, such resignation to be effective only upon the acceptance of the appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the first paragraph of this Section 8.02 and the transfer by the retiring Trustee to the successor Trustee of all property held by it hereunder as Trustee.
Section 8.03. Compensation and Indemnification of the Trustee.
(a) The Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services and reimbursement for all its advances and expenditures hereunder, including but not limited to advances to and fees and expenses of accountants, agents, appraisers, consultants, counsels or other experts employed by it in the observance and performance of its rights and obligations hereunder. Following the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have a lien prior in right to the Owners of the Bonds for such compensation or reimbursement against the Trust Estate generally and any money held by it in any of the funds established hereunder, other than the Series 1999C Bond Account, the Series 1999D Bond Account and the Retail Rate Litigation Proceeds Fund. The Trustee may also take whatever legal actions are available to it directly against the Company to recover such compensation or reimbursement. The Trustee’s compensation in the absence of an Event of Default has been established by a letter agreement between the Company and the Trustee.
(b) Notwithstanding any provision of the Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute any suit, or to take any remedial proceeding under this Indenture, or to enter any appearance or in any way defend in any suit in which it may be made defendant, or to take any steps in the execution of the trusts hereby created or in the enforcement of any rights and powers hereunder, until it shall be indemnified to its satisfaction against any and all liability. The Trustee may, nevertheless, begin suit, or appear in and defend suit, or do anything else in its judgment proper to be done by it as such Trustee, without indemnity, and in such case the Trustee may reimburse itself from the Revenues pursuant to Section 5.04(b) for all costs and expenses, outlays and counsel fees and other reasonable disbursements properly incurred in connection therewith. If such Revenues shall be insufficient for the purpose, the Trustee may reimburse itself from any moneys in its possession under the provisions of this Indenture, excepting only those set aside in the Bond Fund, the Redemption Fund, and the Tax Equalization Fund for the benefit of the Owners of the Bonds, and shall be entitled to a preference therefor over any of the Bonds outstanding hereunder.
Section 8.04. Protection of the Trustee. The Trustee shall be protected and shall incur no liability in acting or proceeding in good faith upon any affidavit, bond, certificate, consent, notice, request, requisition, resolution, statement, telegram, voucher, waiver or other paper or document which it shall in good faith believe to be genuine and to have been adopted, executed or delivered by the proper party or pursuant to any of the provisions hereof, and the Trustee shall
99
be under no duty to make any investigation or inquiry as to any statements contained or matters referred to in any such instrument, but may accept and rely upon the same as conclusive evidence of the truth and accuracy of such statements. The Trustee may consult with counsel, who may be counsel to the Issuer, with regard to legal questions arising hereunder, and the opinion of such counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect to any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith in accordance therewith.
Whenever in the observance or performance of its rights and obligations hereunder the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by a certificate of an Issuer Representative or a certificate of a Company Representative, and such certificate shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken or suffered under the provisions hereof upon the faith thereof, but in its discretion the Trustee may, in lieu thereof, accept other evidence of such matter or may require such additional evidence as to it may seem reasonable.
The Trustee may buy, sell, own, hold and deal in any of the Bonds and may join in any action which any Owner of an Bond may be entitled to take with like effect as if it were not a party hereto. The Trustee, either as principal or agent, may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the Company and may act as agent, depositary or trustee for any committee or body of Owners of Bonds or of Owners of obligations of the Issuer or the Company as freely as if it were not the Trustee hereunder.
The Trustee may act through agents or co-trustees (which co-trustees, if any, shall be approved by the Issuer and the Company) and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent or co-trustee appointed with due care.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith without negligence which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.
The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture, or the Bonds, shall not be accountable for the Issuer’s covenants and representations contained in this Indenture, and shall not be responsible for any statement in the Bonds other than its certificate of authentication.
Section 8.05. Duties of Trustee.
(a) If an Event of Default under Section 7.01 of this Indenture has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise its rights and powers and 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.
(b) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default.
100
(i) The Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in the Indenture and no others, and
(ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine these certificates and opinions to determine whether they conform on their face to the requirements of the Indenture.
(c) 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 against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(d) The Trustee shall not, except as otherwise required by the Project Documents or as required by Law, disclose any information it receives from the Issuer, the Independent Engineer or any Project Participant pursuant to the Project Documents.
(e) The Trustee shall send notices, information and reports to the Owners (or Beneficial Owners) as required by the provisions of this Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement. If the Trustee receives notice from the Company pursuant to Section 5.19 of the Facility Lease Agreement of the proposed termination of the Power Purchase Agreement or the O&M Agreement, the Trustee shall send notice to the Owners within 10 days of receipt of notice from the Company. The Trustee shall promptly send notice to the Company, and FWC if such notice relates to the Series 1999C Bonds or the Series 1999D Bonds, if it has received written notice from a Bondholder or Beneficial Owner of a preliminary determination of taxability or a Determination of Taxability. In the event the Trustee withdraws moneys from a Debt Service Reserve Account or draws under a Debt Service Reserve Account Facility for the purpose of making payments for the series of Bonds relating thereto the Trustee shall give notice to the Owners of all Bonds within 10 days of such action. Each response by the Trustee to a request by an Owner or Beneficial Owner for information or reports from the Trustee shall include a statement to the effect by requesting to receive a copy of any information or report, or to inspect any of the principal contracts relating to the operation and maintenance of the Project, or by making any other request for additional information relating to the Bonds, each Owner or Beneficial Owner, as the case may be, agrees to keep confidential the various documents (including such principal contracts) and all written information that from time to time has been or will be disclosed to it concerning the Company or the Partners thereof or any of their respective affiliates, including, without limitation, any financial statements of the Company or the Partners thereof or any of their respective Affiliates disclosed pursuant to the Indenture or the Facility Lease Agreement, and agrees not to disclose any portion of the same to any person or to use the same for any purpose other than in connection with making an investment decision with respect to its Bonds or in connection with a transfer of the Bonds.
101
(f) 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 (i) declaring the principal of and interest on the Bonds to be due and payable immediately under Sections 7.02 or 7.07, (ii) drawing on a Bond Insurance Policy, Credit Facility or Debt Service Reserve Account Facility, (iii) making payment on the Bonds or (iv) providing any information to Bondholders or Beneficial Owners.
(g) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any cash held by it except as provided by Section 5.12 of this Indenture and as the Trustee may otherwise agree with the Issuer and the Company.
(h) Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to all the foregoing paragraphs of this Section.
Section 8.06. Notice of Defaults. If an event occurs that, with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both, would be an Event of Default, and if the event is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Owner of a Bond, the Issuer, the Company (if the Event of Default exists with respect to the Series 1999A Bonds or the Series 1999B Bonds) and FWC (if the Event of Default exists with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds or the Series 1999D Bonds) notice of the event within 15 days after it occurs.
Section 8.07. Transfer of Rights and Property to Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed under this Indenture shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor Trustee, and also to the Issuer and the Company, an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers, duties and obligations of such predecessor Trustee; but the predecessor Trustee shall nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer or of the successor Trustee, execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments of conveyance and further assurances and do such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly vesting and confirming in such successor Trustee all its right, title and interest in and to any property held by it under this Indenture, and shall pay over, assign and deliver to the successor Trustee any money or other property subject to the trusts and conditions herein set forth. Should any deed, conveyance or instrument from the Issuer be required by such successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee any such moneys, estates, properties, rights, powers and duties, such deed, conveyance or instrument shall be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer.
Section 8.08. Merger or Consolidation. Any company into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated or any company resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which it shall be a party or any company to which all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee may be sold or transferred, shall be the successor to such Trustee and be bound to the obligations and duties of such Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or the performance of any further act,
102
unless such successor delivers written notice of its resignation pursuant to the provisions of this Article; provided, however, that such company shall be a bank or trust company organized under the laws of any state of the United States or a national banking association and shall be authorized by Law and the laws of the State to perform all the duties imposed upon it by this Indenture.
Section 8.09. Adoption of Authentication. In case any of the Bonds contemplated to be issued under this Indenture shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any successor Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee so authenticating such Bonds and deliver such Bonds so authenticated; and in case any of the said Bonds shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee may authenticate such Bonds in the name of the predecessor Trustee or in its own name.
Section 8.10. Retention of Information. So long as any of the Bonds shall be Outstanding, the Trustee shall retain all certificates, financial statements and other written information furnished to it by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Company or any other Person under this Indenture, the Facility Lease Agreement or any other agreement or instrument pertaining to the Bonds and shall make such documentation available for review after reasonable notice during regular business hours at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee to any Bondholder or any Beneficial Owner and to reviewers to take copies of all or any part of such documentation, subject to their payment of such reasonable copying and handling charges as the Trustee may impose.
Section 8.11. Co-Trustee. It is the intent of this Indenture that there will be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including, particularly, the law of the State of Illinois) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation or foreclosure under this Indenture, and, in particular, in case of the enforcement of any remedy upon an Event of Default, or in case the Trustee deems that, by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction, it may not exercise any of the powers, rights or remedies granted to the Trustee, or take any other action which may be desirable or necessary in connection therewith, each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in the Co-Trustee, but only to the extent necessary to enable the Co-Trustee to exercise such powers, rights or remedies.
Should any conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the Co-Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. If the Co-Trustee, or a successor, becomes incapable of acting, resigns or is removed, all the estates, properties rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such Co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Co-Trustee or
103
successor to such Co-Trustee in the manner in which a successor Trustee is appointed under the Order.

Section 9.03. Endorsement or Replacement of Bonds after Amendment or Supplement. After the effective date of any action taken as hereinabove provided, the Trustee may determine that the Bonds may bear a notation by endorsement in form approved by the Trustee as to such action, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bond and presentation of such Owner’s Bond for such action such notation shall be made on such Bond. If the Trustee shall so determine, new Bonds so modified as in the opinion of the Trustee shall be necessary to conform to such action shall be prepared, and in that case upon demand of the Owner of any Outstanding Bonds, such new Bonds, shall be exchanged without cost to each Owner for Bonds then Outstanding of the same series and bearing the same interest rate and maturity date at the office of the Trustee upon surrender of such Outstanding Bonds.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, no deposit under clause (b) of the first paragraph of this Section shall be made until the Company has furnished the Trustee a Favorable Opinion of Bond
111
Counsel stating that the deposit of such cash or Governmental Bonds will not cause the Tax-Exempt Bonds to become “arbitrage bonds” under Section 148 of the Code.
Any release under this Section 11.02 shall be without prejudice to the right of the Trustee to be paid reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it under this Indenture and all its reasonable expenses, charges and other disbursements and those of its attorneys, agents and employees, incurred on and about the administration of trusts by this Indenture created and the performance of its powers and duties under this Indenture, including the right of the Trustee to compensation and indemnification under Section 8.03; provided, however, that the Trustee shall have no right, title or interest in, or lien on, any moneys or securities deposited pursuant to this Article XI.

Proof of the execution of any such instrument and of the ownership of Bonds shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and shall be conclusive in favor of the Trustee with regard to any action taken by it under such instrument if made in the following manner:
(i) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such instrument may be proved by the verification of any officer in any jurisdiction who, by the laws thereof, has power to take affidavits within such jurisdiction, to the effect that such instrument was subscribed and sworn to before him, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution.

(ii) The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration books kept under the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof.
Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed as limiting the Trustee to such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may accept any other evidence of the matters herein stated which may be sufficient.

If such a record date is fixed, such request, direction, consent or other instrument may be given before or after such record date, but only the Owners of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Owners for the purposes of determining whether Owners of the requisite proportion of Bonds have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, direction, consent or other instrument, and for that purpose the Bonds shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such consent by the Owners on such record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than one year after the record date.

Any declaration, request or other instrument in writing of the Owner of any Bond shall bind all future Owners of such Bond with respect to anything done or suffered to be done by the Issuer or the Trustee in good faith and in accordance therewith.
Section 13.05. Waiver of Personal Liability. No officer or employee of the Issuer shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the interest or principal or redemption premiums, if any, on the Bonds, but nothing contained herein shall relieve any officer or employee of the Issuer from the performance of any official duty provided by any applicable provision of Law or hereby.

Special Mandatory Redemption. The Series 1999A Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption in whole, or in part (as described below), at a redemption price of 100%, or 103%, in the case of a redemption pursuant to (a) below, of the principal amount of the Series
C-1-5
1999A Bonds being redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date upon the occurrence of certain events as follows:
(a) The Series 1999A Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption not later than 180 days after the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability. Fewer than all the Series 1999A Bonds may be redeemed if redemption of fewer than all would result in the interest payable on the Series 1999A Bonds remaining outstanding being not includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of any owner other than a “substantial user” or “related person.” If the lien of the Indenture as to the Series 1999A Bonds is discharged prior to the occurrence of a determination of taxability, as described in Section 10 below, the Series 1999A Bonds will not be redeemed as described in this paragraph.
(b) The Series 1999A Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption in part on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall transfer any moneys in the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account of the Construction Fund to the Redemption Fund pursuant to the Indenture), in an amount equal (to the nearest $1,000 increment) to the pro rata portion (based on the principal amounts of Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding) of the amount transferred from the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account of the Construction Fund to the Redemption Fund pursuant to the Indenture.
(c) The Series 1999A Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption from moneys paid to the Trustee from the DBT Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 of the DBT Trust Agreement on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall receive such funds), in whole or in part in an amount equal to the pro rata proportion of the principal amounts of Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding up to the amount of Series 1999A Bonds Outstanding.
Special Optional Redemption. The 1999A Bonds, together with the other 1999 Bonds, are subject to redemption in whole at the option of the Issuer on the date that is ten and one half (10½) years after the Initial Exchange Date at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of the Series 1999A Bonds being redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date if there is to be a “change in use” to be effected under Treasury Regulation Section 1.141-12. Less than all of the 1999 Bonds may be redeemed if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel (which opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer), redemption of all of the 1999 Bonds is not necessary to effect such change in use. If less than all of the 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds shall be redeemed before any Series 1999C Bonds or Series 1999D Bonds are redeemed if in the opinion of Bond Counsel, such order of redemption will not, in and of itself, cause a Determination of Taxability.
Notice of Redemption. Not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before each redemption date, the Trustee will mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid to each Owner of Series 1999A Bonds to be redeemed at the addresses shown on the
C-1-6
registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee. Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Series 1999A Bond will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Series 1999A Bonds in respect of which no failure occurs. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.
Effect of Notice of Redemption. When notice of redemption is required and given and the conditions to any such redemption are satisfied. Series 1999A Bonds called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price; in such case when funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for redemption, interest on the Series 1999A Bonds to be redeemed ceases to accrue as of the date of redemption.
7. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Series 1999A Bonds shall be in Authorized Denominations (but no single Series 1999A Bond shall represent principal maturing on more than one date) and shall be numbered consecutively but need not be authenticated or delivered in consecutive order. An Owner may transfer or exchange Series 1999A Bonds in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require an Owner, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Trustee need not register the transfer of or exchange any Series 1999A Bond for the period beginning 15 days before mailing a notice of redemption of such Series 1999A Bond and ending on the redemption date.
8. Persons Deemed Owners. The Registered Owner of this Series 1999A Bond shall be treated as the Owner of it for all purposes.
9. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for six years, at the request of the Issuer, the Trustee will pay the money to or for the account of the Company. Thereafter Owners entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person.
10. Discharge Before Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or Governmental Obligations, as described in the Indenture, sufficient to pay at redemption or maturity the principal of and interest on all Series 1999A Bonds at the time Outstanding under the Indenture, and if the Company also pays or causes to be paid all other sums then payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the lien of the Indenture with respect to such Series 1999A Bonds will be discharged. After discharge, Series 1999A Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment. Governmental Obligations are securities backed by the faith and credit of the United States, or securities evidencing ownership interest in such full-faith-and-credit securities.
11. Additional Bonds. Additional series of bonds may be issued in the future as provided in the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement. If issued, such Additional Bonds may be entitled to certain benefits of the Indenture on a parity with the Series 1999A Bonds and
C-1-7
all other series of Additional Bonds, to the extent provided in the Indenture. No Series 1999A Bondholder consent is required in connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds.
12. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. The Indenture, the Facility Lease Agreement or the Series 1999A Bonds may be amended or supplemented (including certain amendments which may be made without the consent of the Owners of the Series 1999A Bonds), and any past default or compliance with any provision may be waived, to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement.
13. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default. The Owner of this Series 1999A Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.
14. No Personal Liability. No officer or employee of the Issuer shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the interest or principal or redemption premium, if any, on the Series 1999A Bonds. Each Series 1999A Bondholder, by accepting a Series 1999A Bond, waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Series 1999A Bonds.
15. Authentication. This Series 1999A Bond shall not be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on this Series 1999A Bond.
16. 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), U/G/M/A (Uniform Gifts to Minors Act) and U/T/M/A (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act).
17. Estoppel Clause. It is hereby certified, recited and declared that all acts, conditions and things required to be done, exist and be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this bond in order to make it a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Issuer have been done, exist and have been performed in regular and due time, form and manner as required by law, and that the series of bonds of which this bonds is one is within every debt or other limit prescribed by law.

(a) The Series 1999B Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption not later than 180 days after the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability.

C-2-5
Account of the Construction Fund to the Redemption Fund pursuant to the Indenture), in an amount equal (to the nearest $1,000 increment) to the pro rata portion (based on the principal amounts of Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding) of the amount transferred from the Insurance and Condemnation Proceeds Account of the Construction Fund to the Redemption Fund pursuant to the Indenture.

If less than all of the 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds shall be redeemed before any Series 1999C Bonds or Series 1999D Bonds are redeemed if in the opinion of Bond Counsel, such order of redemption will not, in and of itself, cause a Determination of Taxability.
Notice of Redemption. Not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before each redemption date the Trustee will mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage pre-paid to each Owner of Series 1999B Bonds to be redeemed at the addresses shown on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee.

Governmental Obligations are securities backed by the faith and credit of the United States, or securities evidencing ownership interest in such full-faith-and-credit securities.
11. Additional Bonds. Additional series of bonds may be issued in the future as provided in the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement. If issued, such Additional Bonds may be entitled to certain benefits of the Indenture on a parity with the Series 1999B Bonds and all other series of Additional Bonds, to the extent provided in the Indenture.

(b) If no Series 1999D Bonds shall be Outstanding, the Series 1999C Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall make the following deposits to the credit of the Redemption Fund), at a Redemption Price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date on which the Series 1999C Bonds are to be redeemed from certain Litigation Proceeds from the Retail Rate Litigation at the sole discretion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation.

If less than all of the 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds shall be redeemed before any Series 1999C Bonds or Series 1999D Bonds are redeemed if in the opinion of Bond Counsel, such order of redemption will not, in and of itself, cause a Determination of Taxability.

7. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for six years, at the request of the Issuer the Trustee will pay the money to or for the account of the Company.

After discharge, Series 1999C Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment.
D-6
Governmental Obligations are securities backed by the faith and credit of the United States, or securities evidencing ownership interest in such full-faith-and-credit securities.

11. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default.

The Village of Xxxxxxx, Xxxx County, Illinois, a home rule unit of local government duly organized and validly existing under the Constitution and laws of the State of Illinois (the “Issuer”), promises to pay, solely from the source described in this Series 1999C Bond, to the Registered Owner hereof, or registered assigns, the Principal Amount shown above on the Maturity Date stated above, or, if this Series 1999C Bond is called for earlier redemption as described herein, on the redemption date, and to pay interest solely from the source described in this Series 1999C Bond, from the date hereof on the balance of said Principal Amount from time to time remaining unpaid at the rate per annum shown above (computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months) on April 15 and October 15 of each year, commencing April 15, 2000, until the payment of principal.

4. Redemption. The Series 1999C Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as set forth in this Section. Unless the Indenture or a supplemental indenture specifies otherwise, any partial redemption shall be on a pro rata basis. In selecting portions of such Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds of the minimum Authorized Denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond to be redeemed in part by the minimum Authorized Denomination for such Bonds. If less than all of the 1999C Bonds are to be redeemed and such Bonds are held in book-entry only form, the Trustee shall direct the Securities Depository for such series of Bonds to select the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in such a manner as to redeem such Bonds pro rata among all of its direct participants shown on the Securities Depository’s books to be holders of such Bonds.
Mandatory Sinking Fund Redemption. This Series 1999C Bond is subject to redemption prior to maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, as provided in the Indenture, by application by the Trustee of funds on deposit to the credit of the Series 1999C Sinking Fund Installment Subaccount on October 15 in the years and in the principal amounts as follows:

Special Mandatory Redemption. (a) The Series 1999C Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption not later than 180 days after a Determination of Taxability at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds being redeemed, plus, in any case, accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. Fewer than all of a Series 1999C Bonds may be redeemed if redemption of fewer than all Series 1999C Bonds would result in the interest payable on the Series 1999C Bonds remaining Outstanding being not includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of any owner other than a “substantial user” or “related person.” If the lien of the Indenture as to any Series 1999C Bonds is discharged prior to the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, as described in paragraph 8 below, the Series 1999C Bonds will not be redeemed as described in this paragraph.
(b) If no Series 1999D Bonds shall be Outstanding, the Series 1999C Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall make the following deposits to the credit of the Redemption Fund), at a Redemption Price of 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued interest to the redemption date on which the Series 1999C Bonds are to be redeemed from certain Litigation Proceeds from the Retail Rate Litigation at the sole discretion of Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation. The Retail Rate Litigation concerns electric rates for electricity produced by the Project as described in the Indenture.
(c) The 1999C Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption, pro rata with the 1999D Bonds, from moneys paid to the Trustee by the Delaware Trustee on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall receive such funds), provided, however, there are no Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding.
Special Optional Redemption. The 1999C Bonds, along with the other 1999 Bonds, are subject to redemption in whole at the opinion of the Issuer on the date that is ten and one half (101/2) years after the Initial Exchange Date at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of the Series 1999C Bonds being redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date if there is to be a “change in use” to the effected under Treasury Regulation Section 1.141-12. Less than all of the 1999 Bonds may be redeemed if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel (which opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer), redemption of all of the 1999 Bonds is not necessary to effect such change in use. If less than all of the 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds shall be redeemed before any Series 1999C Bonds or Series 1999D Bonds are redeemed if in the opinion of Bond Counsel, such order of redemption will not, in and of itself, cause a Determination of Taxability.
Notice of Redemption. Not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before each redemption date the Trustee will mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage pre-paid to each Owner of Series 1999C Bonds to be redeemed at the addresses shown on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee. Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Bonds will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Bonds in
D-5
respect of which no failure occurs. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.
Effect of Notice of Redemption. When notice of redemption is required and given, and the conditions to any such redemption is satisfied the Series 1999C Bonds called for redemption are to become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price; in such case when funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for redemption, interest on the Series 1999C Bonds to be redeemed ceases to accrue as of the date of redemption.
5. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Series 1999C Bonds are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple in excess thereof. An Owner may transfer or exchange Series 1999C Bonds in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require an Owner, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Trustee need not register the transfer to or exchange of any Series 1999C Bond for the period beginning 15 days before mailing a notice of redemption of such Series 1999C Bond and ending on the redemption date.
6. Persons Deemed Owners. The Registered Owner of this Series 1999C Bond may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
7. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for six years, at the request of the Issuer the Trustee will pay the money to or for the account of the Company. Thereafter, Owners entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person.
8. Discharge Before Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any deposits with the Trustee money or Governmental Obligations as described in the Indenture sufficient to pay at redemption or maturity the principal of and interest on all Series 1999C Bonds at the time Outstanding under the Indenture, and if the Company also pays or causes to be paid all other sums then payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the lien of the Indenture with respect to the Series 1999C Bonds will be discharged. After discharge, Series 1999C Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment. Governmental Obligations are securities backed by the faith and credit of the United States, or securities evidencing ownership interest in such full-faith-and-credit securities.
9. Additional Bonds. Additional series of bonds may be issued in the future as provided in the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement. No Series 1999C Bondholder consent is required in connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds.
10. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. The Indenture, the Facility Lease Agreement or the Series 1999C Bonds may be amended or supplemented (including certain amendments which may be made without the consent of the Owners of the Series 1999C Bonds), and any past
D-6
default or compliance with any provision may be waived, to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement.
11. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default. The Owner of this Series 1999C Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.
12. No Personal Liability. No officer or employee of the Issuer shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the interest or principal or redemption premiums, if any, on the Series 1999C Bonds. Each Series 1999C Bondholder by accepting a Series 1999C Bond waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Series 1999C Bonds.
13. Authentication. This Series 1999C Bond shall not be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Series 1999C Bond.
14. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Series 1999C 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/T/MA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act).

The Company has agreed in the Facility Lease Agreement to pay the Issuer Rentals sufficient to pay all amounts coming due on the Series 1999A Bonds and the Series 1999B Bonds and the Issuer has assigned its rights to such payments under the Facility Lease Agreement to the Trustee as security for the Bonds, other than the Series 1999C Bonds and the Series 1999D Bonds, issued under the Indenture.
The Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement may be amended, and references to them include any amendments.
THIS BOND IS A CAPITAL APPRECIATION BOND AND SHALL NOT BEAR INTEREST. The Principal Amount of this Bond shall accrete until maturity, early redemption or acceleration to the amounts specified in Exhibit A to this Bond (the “Accreted Amount”).
E-3
In the event of an acceleration of the Series 1999D Bonds upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Indenture, the amount payable with respect to this Bond will be equal to its then current Accreted Amount, rounded down to the nearest dollar incremental amount.
The Accreted Amount of a Capital Appreciation Bond is deemed to be its principal amount whenever the Indenture requires the principal of Outstanding Series 1999D Bonds to be calculated for purposes of giving notices, consents, requests or demands of registered owners thereof or selecting bonds for redemption.
2. Source of Payments. The Series 1999D Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and, as provided in the Indenture, are payable, solely from the Litigation Proceeds upon the occurrence of a Litigation Event, Exit Funding Payments and other moneys deposited in the accounts established under the Indenture for payment of the Series 1999D Bonds. A Litigation Event occurs if any Litigation Proceeds, as defined in the Indenture, is actually received as a result of, or relating to the litigation referred to in the Indenture as the Retail Rate Litigation. The Retail Rate Litigation concerns electric rates for electricity produced by the Project (hereafter defined). Exit Funding Payments are payable by Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation under the Exit Funding Agreement between Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx Corporation and the Trustee, dated as of October 15, 1999 and effective as of the Initial Exchange Date.
EXCEPT IN LIMITED CIRCUMSTANCES DESCRIBED IN THE INDENTURE, THE SERIES 1999D BONDS ARE NOT SECURED BY THE TRUST ESTATE GRANTED BY THE ISSUER UNDER THE INDENTURE.
3. Method of Payment. The Principal or Redemption Price of this Bond will be payable at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee and will be paid to the registered owner hereof as of the Record Date upon surrender of this Bond. Such amounts 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 Series 1999D Bonds is due on a non-Business Day, it will be made on the next Business Day, and no additional amount will accrete as a result of such later payment.
4. Redemption. The Series 1999D Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity as set forth in this Section. Unless the Indenture or a supplemental indenture specifies otherwise, any partial redemption shall be on a pro rata basis. In selecting portions of such Bonds for redemption, the Trustee shall treat each such Bond as representing that number of Bonds of the minimum Authorized Denomination which is obtained by dividing the principal amount of such Bond to be redeemed in part by the minimum Authorized Denomination for such Bonds. If less than all of the 1999D Bonds are to be redeemed and such Bonds are held in book-entry only form, the Trustee shall direct the Securities Depository for such series of Bonds to select the particular Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed in such a manner as to redeem such Bonds pro rata among all of its direct Participants shown on the Securities Depository’s books to be holders of such Bonds in accordance with their relative ownership of such Bonds.
E-4
Special Mandatory Redemption. (a) The Series 1999D Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption, in whole or in part, on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall make the following deposits to the credit of the Redemption Fund), at a Redemption Price of 100% of their Accreted Amount to the redemption date on which the Series 1999D Bonds are to be redeemed the Trustee shall transfer moneys in the Retail Rate Litigation Proceeds Fund to the Series 1999D Bonds Redemption Account in the Redemption Fund after receipt of Litigation Proceeds for such purpose as provided in the Indenture.
(b) The Series 1999D Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption not later than 180 days after a Determination of Taxability at a Redemption Price of 100% of the Accreted Amount of such Bonds being redeemed on the redemption date. Fewer than all of the Series 1999D Bonds may be redeemed if redemption of fewer than all Series 1999D Bonds would result in the deemed interest payable on the Series 1999D Bonds remaining Outstanding being not includable in the gross income for Federal income tax purposes of any owner other than a “substantial user” or “related person.” If the lien of the Indenture as to all or a portion of the Series 1999D Bonds is discharged prior to the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability, as described in paragraph 8 below, such Series 1999D Bonds will not be redeemed as described in this paragraph.
(c) The 1999D Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption, pro rata with the 1999C Bonds, from moneys paid to the Trustee by the Delaware Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 of the DBT Trust Agreement on the earliest practicable date (which date shall not be less than 45 days from the date the Trustee shall receive such funds), provided, however, there are no Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds then Outstanding.
Special Optional Redemption. The 1999D Bonds, along with the other 1999 Bonds, are subject to redemption in whole at the option of the Issuer on the date that is ten and one half (101/2) years after the Initial Exchange Date at a Redemption Price of 100% of the principal amount of the Series 1999D Bonds being redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date if there is to be a “change in use” to be effected under Treasury Regulation Section 1.141-12. Less than all of the 1999 Bonds may be redeemed if, in the opinion of Bond Counsel (which opinion shall be delivered to the Trustee and the Issuer), redemption of less than all of the 1999 Bonds is necessary to effect such change in use. If less than all of the 1999 Bonds are to be redeemed, the Series 1999A Bonds and Series 1999B Bonds shall be redeemed before any Series 1999C Bonds or Series 1999D Bonds are redeemed if in the opinion of Bond Counsel, such order of redemption will not, in and of itself, cause a Determination of Taxability.
Notice of Redemption. Not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days before each redemption date the Trustee will mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail, postage pre-paid to each Owner of Series 1999D Bonds to be redeemed at the addresses shown on the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the Trustee. Failure to give any required notice of redemption as to any particular Bonds will not affect the validity of the call for redemption of any Bonds in
E-5
respect of which no failure occurs. Any notice mailed as provided in this paragraph will be conclusively presumed to have been given whether or not actually received by the addressee.
Effect of Notice of Redemption. When notice of redemption is required and given, and the conditions to any such redemption is satisfied the Series 1999D Bonds called for redemption are to become due and payable on the redemption date at the applicable redemption price; in such case when funds are deposited with the Trustee sufficient for redemption on the Series 1999D Bonds to be redeemed ceases to accrue as of the date of redemption.
3. Denominations; Transfer; Exchange. The Series 1999D Bonds are in registered form without coupons and shall be in the minimum Authorized Denominations or any integral multiple thereof and shall be numbered consecutively but need not be authenticated or delivered in consecutive order. The Owner may transfer or exchange Series 1999D Bonds in accordance with the Indenture. The Trustee may require an Owner, among other things, to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents and to pay any taxes and fees required by law or permitted by the Indenture. The Trustee need not register the transfer or exchange of any Series 1999D Bond for the period beginning 15 days before mailing a notice of redemption of such Series 1999D Bond and ending on the redemption date.
4. Persons Deemed Owners. The Registered Owner of this Series 1999D Bond may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.
5. Unclaimed Money. If money for the payment of the Accreted Amount, principal, premium, if any, or interest remains unclaimed for six years, at the request of the Issuer the Trustee will pay the money to or for the account of the Company. After that, Owners entitled to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment unless an abandoned property law designates another person.
6. Discharge Before Redemption or Maturity. If the Company at any time deposits with the Trustee money or Governmental Obligations as described in the Indenture sufficient to pay at redemption or maturity the Accreted Amount on all Series 1999D Bonds at the time Outstanding under the Indenture, and if the Company also pays or causes to be paid all other sums then payable by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the lien of the Indenture with respect to the Series 1999D Bonds will be discharged. After discharge, Series 1999D Bondholders must look only to the deposited money and securities for payment. Governmental Obligations are securities backed by the faith and credit of the United States, or securities evidencing ownership interest in such full-faith-and-credit securities.
7. Additional Bonds. Additional series of Bonds may be issued in the future as provided in the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement. No Series 1999D Bondholder consent is required in connection with the issuance of Additional Bonds.
8. Amendment, Supplement, Waiver. The Indenture, the Facility Lease Agreement or the Series 1999D Bonds may be amended or supplemented (including certain amendments which may be made without the consent of the Owners of the Series 1999D Bonds), and any past
E-6
default or compliance with any provision may be waived, to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture and the Facility Lease Agreement.
9. Defaults and Remedies. The Indenture provides that the occurrences of certain events constitute Events of Default. The Owner of this Series 1999D Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture, or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.
10. No Personal Liability. No officer or employee of the Issuer shall be individually or personally liable for the payment of the interest or principal or redemption premiums, if any, on the Series 1999D Bonds. Each Series 1999D Bondholder by accepting a Series 1999D Bond waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for the issue of the Series 1999D Bonds.
11. Authentication. This Series 1999D Bond shall not be valid until the Trustee or an authenticating agent signs the certificate of authentication on the other side of this Series 1999D Bond.
12. Abbreviations. Customary abbreviations may be used in the name of a Series 1999D 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/T/MA (Uniform Transfers to Minors Act).
