disposed of does not exceed $250,000.00, and if the Company shall certify, in writing, to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Purchaser that such Equipment or other assets are no longer needed or are no longer useful in its operation of the Project and at the option of the Company, the proceeds thereof shall be applied to the replacement of or substitution of Equipment or other assets of equal value or utility for the Equipment or other assets so sold or disposed of, and such Equipment or other assets purchased in replacement or substitution shall become part of the Project, or the proceeds shall be paid to the Trustee for deposit in the Bond Fund for application as provided in the Indenture.

ARTICLE VII

Section 7.1. Default. Any of the following events shall constitute a “default” or “event of default” under this Loan Agreement:

(a) the failure to pay any obligation, liability or indebtedness of the Company (i) to the Purchaser under any of the Loan documents, or (ii) to the Issuer or the Trustee under any of the Loan Documents, as and when due (whether upon demand, at maturity or by acceleration); provided, however, such failure to pay shall not be an Event of Default if the Company makes such payment obligation within five (5) days after written notice thereof to the Company by the Trustee (or the Purchaser under Section 6.2 of the Indenture); or

(b) the failure to comply with the insurance requirements as set forth in Section 4.12 hereof;

(c) the failure to pay or perform any other obligation, liability or indebtedness of the Company to the Purchaser under the Loan Documents, and such failure to pay a monetary obligation is not cured within ninety (90) days thereof, or the failure to perform any other obligation is not cured within ninety (90) days following written notice to the Company by the Purchaser;

(d) any default under any Loan Documents, subject to any cure period applicable thereto;

(e) the filing or commencement of a proceeding against the Company for dissolution or liquidation, or the Company’s voluntary or involuntary termination or dissolution;

(f) the Company or any subsidiary institutes or consents to the institution of any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or applies for or consents to the appointment of any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer for it or for all or any material part of its property; or any receiver, trustee, custodian, conservator, liquidator, rehabilitator or similar officer is appointed without the application or consent of such Person and the appointment continues undischarged or stayed for 60 calendar days; or any proceeding under any Debtor Relief Law relating to any such Person or to all or any material part of its property is instituted without the consent of such Person and continues undismissed or unstayed for 60 calendar days, or an order for relief is entered in any such proceeding;

(g) any representation or warranty made by the Company in any Loan Documents or otherwise to the Purchaser was untrue or materially misleading when made; or

(h) an event of default has occurred and is continuing under the Guaranty.

Section 7.2. Remedies Upon Default. (a) Whenever any Event of Default referred to in Section 7.1 hereof shall have occurred and be continuing, any one or more of the following remedial steps may be taken; provided that written notice of the default has been given to the Company by the Issuer, the Purchaser or the Trustee and the default has not theretofore been cured; and provided further that no remedial steps shall be taken by the Issuer the effect of which would be to entitle the Issuer to provide funds necessary for the payment of principal and interest on Bonds which have not yet matured unless such principal and interest shall have been declared due and payable in accordance with the Indenture and such declaration shall not have been rescinded.

(b) In the event of any default under this Loan Agreement, the Issuer may and upon written request of the Purchaser shall:

(i) declare all amounts due under any of the Loan Documents, at the option of the Purchaser, immediately due and payable, and/or

(ii) exercise all other rights, powers and remedies available under each of the Loan Documents and well as all rights and remedies available at law or in equity.

Section 7.3. No Remedy Exclusive. The failure at any time of the Issuer, Trustee or Purchaser to exercise any of its options or any other rights hereunder shall not constitute a waiver thereof, nor shall it be a bar to the exercise of any of its options or rights at a later date. All rights and remedies of the Issuer shall be cumulative and may be pursued singly, successively or together, at the option of the Issuer. The acceptance by the Issuer of any partial payment shall not constitute a waiver or any default or of any of Issuer’s rights under the Note. No waiver of any of its rights hereunder and no modification or amendment of this Loan Agreement or the Note shall be deemed to be made by the Issuer unless the same will be in writing, duly signed on behalf of the Purchaser; and each such waiver shall apply only with respect to the specific instance involved, and shall in no way impair the rights of the Purchaser or the obligations of the Company to the Purchaser or the Issuer in any other respect at any such time.

Section 7.4. Payment of Fees and Expenses. If the Company shall default under any of the provisions of this Loan Agreement and the Issuer or the Trustee shall employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of the Loan Payments or to secure possession, or to resell the Project or for the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Loan Agreement, the Company will on demand therefore pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of the Issuer, the Purchaser or the Trustee and their outside attorneys as they are incurred including all reasonable fees of outside counsel including those incurred for negotiation, trial, appeals of ruling of any lower tribunals, administrative hearings, bankruptcy and creditors’ reorganization proceedings.

Section 7.5. Effect of Waiver. The Trustee, after having first received the prior written approval of the Purchaser, may waive any Event of Default under this Loan Agreement.

In the event any agreement contained in this Loan Agreement shall be breached and such breach shall thereafter be waived, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.

ARTICLE VIII
