execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of record any and all documents and
instruments, including, without limitation, an amendment to the Land Use
Restriction Agreement, necessary to effectuate the intent of this Section 2.07,
and both the Developer and the Agency hereby appoint the Trustee as their true
and lawful attorney-in-fact to execute, deliver and, if applicable, file of
record on behalf of the Developer or the Agency, as is applicable, any such
document or instrument (in such form as may be approved by Bond Counsel) if
either the Developer or the Agency defaults in the performance of its obligation
under this subsection (b); provided, however, that the Trustee shall take no
action under this subsection (b) without first notifying the Credit Enhancer,
the Confirming Bank, the Developer or the Agency, as is applicable, of its

Bank, the Developer or the Agency, as is applicable, a reasonable opportunity to
comply with the requirements of this Section 2.07.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this

foreclosure to an entity other than the Developer or a "related person" within
the meaning of the Code, change in federal law or action of a federal agency
after the issuance of the Bonds which prevents the Agency from enforcing the
requirements of this Agreement and the Land Use Restriction Agreement,
condemnation or similar event (as determined by the Agency), so long as the
Bonds are redeemed within sixty days following such involuntary noncompliance
(or within a period of time thereafter determined by the Bond Counsel to be
reasonable, but in no event beyond the period permitted in Section 4.06 hereof)
or amounts received as a consequence of such event are used to provide a project
which meets and is subject to the requirements of Section 103(b)(4)(A) of the
1954 Code and of Treasury Regulations promulgated pursuant thereto and in either
such event, upon the request of the Developer and at the expense of the
Developer, the parties hereto shall execute an appropriate document in
recordable form to evidence such automatic termination; provided, however, that
the restrictions thereof shall nevertheless apply to the Development, if, at any
time during that part of the Qualified Project Period subsequent to any
involuntary event as described in this paragraph, the obligor on the acquired
purpose obligation (as that phrase is defined in Treasury Regulations) or a
related person (as that term is defined in Treasury Regulations) obtains an
ownership interest in the Development for tax purposes.

prior written consent of the Agency (except as provided

specified above would result in the payment of an amount of interest on the Loan
(including interest on the Loan as provided therein together with any other
costs or considerations that constitute interest under applicable law which are
contracted for, charged, received, reserved or taken pursuant to the Mortgage
Loan Documents) in excess of the maximum amount which, when spread, to the

cancellation of excess interest shall apply.

purpose of the parties as evidenced herein, or, as a result of such changes, it
is the opinion of the Developer and is certified to the Trustee by the Developer
in writing, that unreasonable burdens or excessive liabilities have been or will
be imposed on the Developer with respect to any one or more of the Developments,
including without limitation federal, State, local or other ad valorem,
property, income or other taxes, fees or other restrictions not being imposed on
the date of this Agreement; or

respect to any one or more of the Developments are not applied to restoration of
such Development in accordance with the provisions of the Mortgage.

SECTION 4.13. OPTIONAL SUBSTITUTION OF ALTERNATE SECURITY. At any time
and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Developer, at its
election and subject to satisfaction of the requirements of this Section, may
provide for the delivery, in substitution for the Credit Enhancement or
Alternate Security in effect from time to time, of new Alternate Security that
meets the requirements of this Section. The Developer shall give written notice
of intent to substitute Alternate Security to the Remarketing Agent, the
Confirming Bank and the Trustee at least twenty (20) days prior to the date
scheduled for the substitution of Alternate Security.
(a) Any Alternate Security shall constitute an irrevocable obligation of
the obligor thereon (i) to pay to the Trustee, upon proper demand, an amount
equal to any amounts of principal of and interest on the Bonds that are then due
and owing and unpaid under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and to make such payment
by not later than the time and date necessary to assure the timely payment of
the principal of, and interest on or the Purchase Price of the Bonds, or (ii) to
fully secure otherwise payment in an amount equal to the principal amount of the
Bonds outstanding from time to time plus, during any Floating Rate Period, the
number of days' interest on the Bonds then outstanding required by the rating
agency then rating the Bonds, to maintain the rating on the Bonds, computed at a
rate of interest per annum sufficient to pay interest on the Bonds as it becomes
due and, during any Fixed Rate Period, the number of days' interest on the Bonds
then outstanding required by the rating agency then rating the Bonds, to
maintain the rating on the Bonds, computed at the Fixed Rate in effect during
such Fixed Rate Period, all as necessary to assure the timely payment of the
principal of, and interest on the Bonds and the Purchase Price thereof. Any
Alternate Security substituted hereunder shall have a term of at least one year
and, during a Fixed Rate Period, shall have a term at least as long as the
Credit Enhancement or Alternate Security for which it is being substituted.
(b) As a condition to acceptance by the Trustee of the substitution of
Alternate Security hereunder on other than a Substitution Date or a Conversion
Date, the Developer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee, concurrently
with the delivery of any Alternate Security, the following:

is continuing under the Credit Enhancement or existing Alternate Security,
the written approval of the provider thereof of the substitution hereunder
of a new Alternate Security,
(ii) during a Floating Rate Period, written acknowledgment from the
Trustee that Bondholders were notified of the pending substitution of
Alternate Security no later than fourteen days prior to the date scheduled
for substitution,
(iii) an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agency, addressed to
the Trustee and the Agency, stating, among other things, that such
Alternate Security constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the
obligor thereon, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except to the
extent that the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws for the relief of
debtors and by general principles of equity that permit the exercise of
judicial discretion and by laws, rulings and judgments applicable to the
provider of Alternate Security including authorities governing the effect
given to foreign judgments in such obligor's jurisdiction and to the extent
that the enforceability of indemnification and contribution provisions to
which such Alternate Security relates may be limited, in whole or in part,
by applicable securities laws or public policy, and addressing such other
matters as the Agency and the Trustee may reasonably require,
(iv) an opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that substitution of
such Alternate Security is permitted under the Indenture and this Agreement
and will not adversely affect the excludability of interest on the Bonds
from gross income of the holders of the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes,
(v) written evidence from Moody's, if Moody's then rates the Bonds,
and S&P, if S&P then rates the Bonds, that each such agency has reviewed
such Alternate Security and that its substitution will not, of itself,
result in a withdrawal of or a reduction of its rating of the Bonds from

amount of the Outstanding Bonds sufficient (1) to pay the principal amount of
the Bonds when due at maturity or upon redemption or acceleration or (2) to pay
the principal portion of the purchase price of Bonds tendered for purchase

remarketing proceeds are not available for such purpose.
(b) On and after a Fixed Rate Conversion Date, any Confirmation shall be

obligation under the Confirmation will be
-39-
reduced to the extent of any drawing thereunder, subject to reinstatement to
the extent described therein.
(d) The Trustee shall draw under the Confirmation in accordance with the

make timely payments of principal amount or redemption price of and interest on
the Bonds required to be made from the Interest Fund and the Principal Fund,

pursuant to the Indenture, the Trustee shall take such action as may be
permitted under the Confirmation to reduce the amount available thereunder to
the amount required by the application of this Section.
(h) The Confirming Bank may at its option and so long as the Credit
Enhancer adjusts the maximum rate in respect of the Credit Enhancement at the
same time and to the same extent, at any time prior to the Fixed Rate Conversion
Date, adjust the maximum rate (but not to a rate less than the lower of [12%]
per annum or the then current maximum rate in effect with respect to the Credit
Enhancement) upon delivery of the following items to the persons indicated not

certificate described in paragraph (i)(1) above bearing the written
acknowledgement of receipt by the Trustee; and
(iii) to the Trustee, a substitute Confirmation in the same form,

with the Indenture using the new maximum rate, but otherwise having terms
identical to the then outstanding Confirmation.
The Trustee shall surrender to the Confirming Bank the Confirmation for
which it has received a substitute promptly upon compliance by the Confirming
Bank with the provisions of this subsection.
(i) The Confirming Bank, so long as it honors its obligations under the
Confirmation, shall be subrogated to the rights of any owner whose Bond is paid
or purchased with proceeds paid by the Confirming Bank under the Confirmation to
the extent of the amount received by such owner plus interest thereon from the
date of such payment or purchase.
SECTION 4.13B. OPTIONAL SUBSTITUTION OF ALTERNATE CONFIRMATION. At any
time and from time to time during the term of this Agreement, the Developer, at

and owing and unpaid under the Mortgage Loan Documents, and to make such payment
by not later than the time and date necessary to assure the timely payment of

agency then rating the Bonds, to maintain the rating on the Bonds, computed at
the Fixed Rate in effect during such Fixed Rate Period, all as necessary to
assure the timely payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds and the
Purchase Price thereof. Any Alternate Confirmation substituted hereunder shall
have a term of at least one year and, during a Fixed Rate Period, shall have a
term at least as long as the Confirmation for which it is being substituted.

the Trustee, in addition to the amounts payable hereunder, the Trustee's
Expenses required to be paid pursuant to the Indenture, as provided in Section
4.01(d) hereof.
SECTION 4.15. CONVERSION OF BOND INTEREST RATE AT OPTION OF DEVELOPER.
(a) During any Floating Rate Period, the Developer may elect with the
consent of the Credit Enhancer and the Confirming Bank to have the Bonds convert
from bearing interest at a Floating Rate to bearing interest at a Fixed Rate, by
providing the following to the Trustee, the Credit Enhancer, the Confirming Bank
and the Remarketing Agent:
(i) written notice stating that the Developer has elected to have
the Bonds convert from bearing interest at a Floating Rate to bearing
interest at a Fixed Rate, and specifying either (1) the length of the Fixed
Rate Period that will follow the current Floating Rate Period, which shall
be a period of a least one year ending on a December 31, a June 30, or on
the maturity date of the Bonds, but in no event ending on a date that is
later than the Expiration Date or (2) the Maximum Fixed Rate; and
(ii) a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that conversion
of the Bonds from bearing interest at a Floating Rate to bearing interest
at a Fixed Rate at the election of the Developer hereunder and under the
Indenture will not cause the interest on the Bonds to become includable in
the gross income of the holders of the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes, under applicable law in effect as of the date of such opinion.
The Agency agrees that, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to such
conversion set forth in Section 3.05 of the Inden-
-46-
ture, including receipt by the Trustee of the supplemental opinion of Bond
Counsel described in Section 3.05(d)(ii) of the Indenture, the Bonds will
convert from bearing interest at a Floating Rate to bearing interest at a Fixed
Rate.
In the event that, if the Fixed Rate determined and announced by
the Remarketing Agent on any Fixed Rate Determination Date pursuant to
Section 3.05(c) of the Indenture following an election made by the Developer
under this Section 4.15(a) exceeds by more than 25 basis points the Fixed Rate
previously estimated by the Remarketing Agent with respect to the applicable
Fixed Rate Conversion Date pursuant to Section 3.05(b) of the Indenture, the
Developer may provide Immediate Notice, by no later than the Business Day
immediately following such Fixed Rate Determination Date, to the Trustee, the
Remarketing Agent, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer and the Confirming
Bank, of its election that the Bonds will bear interest at the Fixed Rate as so
determined, despite the general provisions of Section 3.05(d)(i) of the
Indenture. The Developer acknowledges that failure to give such notice will
result in cancellation of the Fixed Rate Conversion Date and will cause the
Bonds to continue to bear interest at the Floating Rate.
(b) At least 35 days before the end of any Fixed Rate Period (unless such
Fixed Rate Period ends on the date of final maturity of the Bonds), the
Developer may elect to have the Bonds continue to bear interest at a Fixed Rate
by providing the following to the Trustee, the Credit Enhancer, the Confirming
Bank and the Remarketing Agent:
(i) written notice stating that the Developer has elected, as of
end of the Fixed Rate Period then in effect, to have the Bonds continue to
bear interest at a Fixed Rate and specifying either (1) the length of the
Fixed Rate Period that will follow the current Fixed Rate Period, which
shall be a period of at least one year ending on a December 31, a June 30,
or on the maturity date of the Bonds, but in no event ending on a date that
is later than the Expiration Date, or (2) the Maximum Fixed Rate; and
(ii) a written opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the
establishment of the interest rate on the Bonds in accordance with the
election of the Developer made pursuant to (i) above will not cause the
interest on the Bonds to become includable in the gross income of the
holders of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes, under applicable law
in effect as of the date of such opinion.
The Agency agrees that, subject to satisfaction of all conditions to the
setting of the interest rate on the Bonds in accordance with the notice
described in (i) above, as set forth in Section 3.07 of the Indenture, including
receipt by the Trustee of the supplemental opinion of Bond Counsel described in
Section
-47-
3.07(b)(iii)(2) of the Indenture, the interest rate on the Bonds will be set in
accordance with such notice and the procedures set forth in such Section 3.07.
In the event that, if the Fixed Rate determined and announced by the
Remarketing Agent on any Fixed Rate Determination Date pursuant to Section
3.07(b)(ii) of the Indenture following an election made by the Developer under
this Section 4.15(b) exceeds by more than 25 basis points the Fixed Rate
previously estimated by the Remarketing Agent with respect to the applicable
Fixed Rate Conversion Date pursuant to Section 3.07(b)(i) of the Indenture, the
Developer may provide Immediate Notice, by no later than the Business Day
immediately following such Fixed Rate Determination Date, to the Trustee, the
Remarketing Agent, the Tender Agent, the Credit Enhancer and the Confirming
Bank, of its election that the Bonds will bear interest at the Fixed Rate as so
determined, despite the general provisions of Section 3.07(b)(iii)(A) of the
Indenture. The Developer acknowledges that failure to provide any item described
in this subsection or to satisfy any condition described in Section 3.07 of the
Indenture will result in the setting of the interest rate on the Bonds at the
Floating Rate or the redemption of Bonds at the end of each Fixed Rate Period
pursuant to Section 3.07(a) of the Indenture rather than in accordance with any
election of the Developer.
SECTION 4.16. [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED]
SECTION 4.17. ASSIGNMENT OF LOAN AGREEMENT BY DEVELOPER. This Agreement
may be assigned as a whole or in part, by the Developer in accordance with the
provisions of Section 8 of the Land Use Restriction Agreement, as such
provisions relate to the assignment by the Developer of the Development,
subject, however, to consent of the Credit Enhancer and the Confirming Bank and
to each of the following conditions:
(a) No assignment (other than pursuant to Section 8 of the Lurid Use
Restriction Agreement) shall relieve the Developer from primary liability for
any of its obligations hereunder, and, in the event of any such assignment, the
Developer shall remain primarily liable for payments of the Loan payments
pursuant to Section 4.02 of this Agreement and for performance and observance of
the other agreements on its part herein provided to be performed and observed to
the same extent as though no assignment had been made;
(b) In the event that this Agreement is assigned, as a whole or in part,
the assignee shall agree to perform the obligations of the Developer hereunder
to the extent of the interest assigned;

copy of each such assignment and agreement to perform; and
-48-
(d) Upon the assignment of this Agreement as a whole in accordance with
this Section 4.17, the assigning party shall be relieved from all liability for
any of its obligations hereunder with respect to matters arising after the date
of such assignment.

ARTICLE V
THE DEVELOPMENT
SECTION 5.01. PAYMENT OF DEVELOPMENT COSTS. If the moneys available
from the proceeds of the sale of the Bonds shall not be sufficient to redeem the
1985 Bonds in full, the Developer shall pay from its own funds all of that
portion of the redemption price of the 1985 Bonds, including premium, in excess
of the moneys available therefor from its own funds. Neither the Agency nor the
Trustee makes any warranty, either express or implied, that the moneys from the
proceeds of the Bonds will be sufficient to redeem the 1985 Bonds. If the
Developer shall pay from its own funds any portion of the redemption price of
the 1985 Bonds, including premium, pursuant to the provisions of this Section,
it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Agency, the
Trustee or the holders of any of the Bonds, nor shall it be entitled to any
diminution in or postponement of the payments required to be paid by the
Developer under this Agreement.
SECTION 5.02. PERMITS AND LICENSES. The Developer covenants and agrees
that in the operation of the Development it will use its best efforts to comply
with all federal, state and local statutes, laws, lawful ordinances, building
codes, regulations and rulings known by it to apply to the Development.
SECTION 5.03. ANNUAL REVIEW OF MANAGEMENT. The Developer hereby
authorizes the Agency to conduct a review annually of the management and
operation of the Development. The Agency shall document its findings from such
review and provide a copy of its findings to the Developer, who shall have
thirty days after receipt of such findings to respond to the Agency with respect
thereto. If the Agency shall find that any aspect of the management or operation
of the Development may cause interest on the Bonds to be subject to federal
income taxation or a violation of the Act, the Agency shall so notify the
Developer and require remedy of such condition. In order to effectuate such
remedy, the Agency may require the Developer to remove any management agent from
responsibility for the Development. The foregoing is a right which the Agency
retains and does not assign to the Trustee. Until such time as the Trustee has
been directed and indemnified by the Owners, the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for any review of the management and operation of the
Development.

(including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys' fees, whether or not suit
is brought and whether incurred in settlement negotiations, investigations of
claims, at trial, on appeal, in bankruptcy or other creditors' proceedings or
otherwise, expert witness fees and expenses, other litigation and court costs,
amounts paid in settlement and amounts paid to discharge judgments) directly or
indirectly resulting from, arising out of or in connection with any act or
omission of the Original Developer or the Developer or any of their respective
partners, directors, officers, employees, attorneys or agents or other persons
under contract with the Original Developer or the Developer directly or
indirectly resulting from, arising out of, or related to (i) the issuance,
offering, sale or delivery of the Bonds, the redemption of the 1985 Bonds and
any amendments to the respective Indentures for the 1985 Bonds in connection
with the redemption of the 1985 Bonds (ii) the interpretation or enforcement of
provisions of the Agreement, the Indenture and any other documents in connection
therewith or the issuance of 1985 Bonds, (iii) any written statements or
representations made or given by the Developer, its agents or persons under
contract with it to any Indemnified Persons relating to statements or
representations of financial information, (iv) the design, construction,
installation, operation, use, occupancy, maintenance or ownership of the
Development or (v) similar events or occurrence with respect to the 1985 Bonds.
This indemnity is effective only with respect to any loss incurred by an
Indemnified Person, not due to any negligent, illegal or unlawful action or
omission on its part.
(b) The Indemnified Persons will promptly, but in no event later than
seven (7) days following their receipt of a filing relating to a legal action or
thirty (30) days following their receipt of any other claim and after notice to
the Indemnified Persons (notice to the Indemnified Persons being service with
-51-
respect to the filing of any legal action, receipt of any claim in writing or
similar form of actual notice) of any claim as to which they assert a right to
indemnification, notify the Developer of such claim.
(c) If any claim for indemnification by an Indemnified Person arises out
of a claim for monetary damages by a person other than an Indemnified Person,
the Developer shall undertake to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in
connection therewith which are necessary to defend the Indemnified Persons and
shall take all such steps or proceedings as the Developer in good ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
necessary to settle or defeat any such claims, and to employ counsel to contest
any such claims; provided, however, that the Developer shall reasonably consider
the advice of the Indemnified Persons as to the defense of such claims, and the
Indemnified Persons shall have the right to participate, at their own expense,
in such defense, but control of such litigation and settlement (except for any
admission of guilt or entering of a plea of NOLO CONTENDERE with respect to any
Indemnified Person, which must be specifically consented to by such Indemnified
Person) shall remain with the Developer. The Indemnified Persons shall provide
all reasonable cooperation in connection with any such defense by the Developer.
Except as set forth herein, counsel and auditor fees, filing fees and court fees
of all proceedings, contests or lawsuits with respect to any such claim or
asserted liability shall be borne by the Developer. If any such claim is made
hereunder and the Developer does not undertake the defense thereof, the
Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to control such litigation and settlement
and shall be entitled to indemnity with respect thereto pursuant to the terms of
this Section 6.01; provided that all Indemnified Persons as to whom there is no
conflict of interest shall be entitled to indemnity for the fees and expenses of
only one firm of attorneys. To the extent that the Developer undertakes the
defense of such claim, the Indemnified Persons shall be entitled to indemnity
hereunder only to the extent that such defense is unsuccessful as determined by
a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, or by written
acknowledgment of the parties. An Indemnified Person shall not be indemnified by
the Developer if the claim against or asserted liability of the Indemnified
Person is successful or found to be valid as a result of any illegal or unlawful
action on the part of the Indemnified Person, or with respect to the Trustee,
illegal or unlawful action or negligence or willful misconduct.
SECTION 6.02. INDEMNIFICATION OF TRUSTEE. (a) Subject to the provisions
of the succeeding sentences of this subsection, the Developer agrees to
indemnify and hold the Trustee, its directors and officers (as used in this
Section 6.02, the "Indemnified Persons") harmless from and against any and all
losses, costs, damages, expenses and liabilities of whatsoever nature or kind
(including but not limited to, any documentary stamp taxes or intangible taxes
due and payable in connection with the Loan, reasonable attorneys' fees
(including those incurred at all
-52-
tribunal, including, without limitation, bankruptcy court, levels), litigation
and court costs, amounts paid in settlement by or with the approval of the
Developer and amounts paid to discharge judgments) directly or indirectly
resulting from, arising out of, or related to (i) the issuance, offering, sale
or delivery of the Bonds, (ii) the enforcement of provisions of the Agreement,
the Indenture and any other documents in connection therewith, (iii) any written
statements or representations made or given by the Developer, its agents or
persons under contract with it to any Indemnified Persons relating to statements
or representations of financial information or (iv) the design, construction,
installation, operation, use, occupancy, maintenance or ownership of the
Development. It is provided, however, the Trustee shall not be indemnified
hereunder for any claims or damages arising from its own negligent acts or
omissions or from any willful misconduct by the Trustee with respect to the
provisions of the Indenture.
(b) For the purposes of the provisions of this Section 6.02, the Trustee
shall be deemed to be an "Indemnified Person" under the provisions of
subsections (b) and (c) of Section 6.01 and claims under this Section shall be
subject to such provisions.

ARTICLE VII
BREACH OF COVENANTS, REMEDIES
SECTION 7.01. EVENT OF DEFAULT. An "Event of Default" shall be deemed
to have occurred under this Agreement if:
(a) Any amount required to be paid by Section 4.02 hereof (taking into
account any credits described in Section 4.03 hereof) is not paid to the Trustee
or Tender Agent, as applicable (either by or on behalf of the Developer, by 2:00
p.m., New York, New York time) when and as required to make a corresponding
payment on the Bonds as required under the Indenture; or
(b) Any amount required to be paid by Section 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08 or
4.09 hereof (taking into account any credits described in Section 4.03 hereof)
is not paid to the Trustee (either by or on behalf of the Developer by 2:00
p.m., New York, New York time) whether in connection with a scheduled interest
payment date, at maturity, upon any date fixed for payment, by acceleration or
otherwise as and when required to make a corresponding payment on the Bonds as
required under the Indenture; or
(c) Notice is given to the Developer, ADCC, the Credit Enhancer and the
Confirming Bank by the Trustee or the Agency that the Developer has failed to
comply with or to perform any of the covenants, conditions or provisions of the
Land Use Restriction Agreement or this Agreement which apply to the Developer
(other than those referred to in Section 7.01(a) or (b) hereof) or that there
has occurred an "event of default" under the Mortgage (as defined in the
Mortgage), and, in any of such events, sixty (60) days have passed since such
notice, unless within sixty (60) days after receipt of such notice the Trustee
receives an opinion of Bond Counsel stating that (i) such failure or event of
default does not produce a material risk that interest on the Bonds will cease
to be excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes (except during
such period as the Bonds are owned by a "substantial user" of the Development or
a "related person") or (ii) such failure or event of default can be remedied
with the effect of permitting the interest on the Bonds to continue to be
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes and such failure or
event of default is remedied within the period of time determined by Bond
Counsel to be necessary to permit interest on the Bonds to continue to be
excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (iii) such
failure or event of default does not cause a violation of the Act by the
Developer; or
(d) (i) The failure of the Credit Enhancement to continue in full force
and effect if, within thirty (30) days after such failure, the Developer shall
have failed to substitute Alternate Security; or (ii) the failure of the Credit
Enhancer to make payments under the Credit Enhancement within the time provided
for
-54-
therein; provided, however, that under circumstances where the Credit
Enhancement is confirmed by a Confirmation, the foregoing shall not constitute
an Event of Default hereunder unless there shall have also occurred a default by
the Confirming Bank under the Confirmation by failing to honor any draw thereon
made in accordance with the terms thereof or by an assertion by the Confirming
Bank of the invalidity or unenforceability of the Confirmation; or
(e) The Credit Enhancer shall file a voluntary petition in bankruptcy, or
shall be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or shall file any petition or
agreement seeking any reorganization, incorporation, readjustment, liquidation
or similar relief for itself under any present or future statutes, laws or
regulations or shall seek or consent to or acquiesce in the appointment of any
trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Credit Enhancer or of all or any
substantial part of its properties, or shall make any general assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due; or
(f) A petition shall be filed against the Credit Enhancer seeking any
reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation or similar relief under
any present or future statute, law or regulation and shall remain undismissed or
unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not consecutive), or
if any trustee, receiver or liquidator of the Credit Enhancer or of all or any
substantial part of its properties shall be appointed without the consent or
acquiescence of the Credit Enhancer and such appointment shall remain
undismissed or unstayed for an aggregate of ninety (90) days (whether or not
consecutive); or
(g) Any "Event of Default" occurs under the Indenture and is not cured
prior to the giving of a notice of acceleration under Section 9.01(b) thereof.
The occurrences set forth in Sections 7.01(e) and (f) above shall not
constitute Events of Default hereunder if the Developer provides Alternate
Security for the Credit Enhancement within thirty (30) days subsequent to the
happening of such occurrence pursuant to Section 4.08 hereof. In the event the
Developer fails to provide such Alternate Security, no declaration of
acceleration shall be made by the Trustee, and the Loan shall be prepaid
mandatory as provided in Section 4.08 hereof.
SECTION 7.02. REMEDIES FOR FAILURE TO PERFORM. (a) Upon the occurrence
of an "Event of Default" as defined in Section 7.01(a), (b), (c), (d) and (g)
above, all amounts due under this Agreement shall be immediately due and payable
and the date of payment thereof shall be as specified in a notice of
acceleration which shall be promptly given by the Trustee to the Developer. A
copy of such notice of acceleration shall be given to the Credit Enhancer, the
Confirming Bank, the Agency and ADCC simultaneously with such notice to the
Developer, and a demand for payment shall be made by
-55-
the Trustee under the Credit Enhancement in an amount sufficient to pay
principal of and interest on the Bonds to the date of payment therefor;
provided, however, with respect to an Event of Default specified in Section
7.01(b) hereof, the Credit Enhancer, in accordance with the Intercreditor
Agreement, shall be granted a period of fifteen (15) days in which to cure such
Event of Default before the Trustee shall enforce the remedies available to it
here under; and further provided, with respect to an Event of Default under
Section 7.01(C) hereof, the Credit Enhancer, in accordance with the
Intercreditor Agreement, shall be granted a period of thirty (30) days to cure
such Event of Default, provided, however that if such default cannot reasonably
be cured within such thirty (30) day period and the Credit Enhancer shall have
commenced to cure such default within such thirty (30) day period and thereafter
diligently and expeditiously proceeds to cure the same, such thirty (30) days
period shall be extended for 50 long as it shall require Credit Enhancer in the
exercise of due diligence to cure such default, including any period of time
necessary to foreclose the Second Mortgage or otherwise obtain possession of the
Development and the Land. To the extent that the Credit Enhancer fails to honor
such draw in the full amount of such draw, under circum stances where the Credit
Enhancement is confirmed by a Confirmation, the Trustee shall make a draw under
the Confirmation in the full amount due on the Bonds. To the extent the Credit
Enhancer and, if applicable, the Confirming Bank, fail to honor draws in the
full amount of such draws, the Trustee shall then pursue the additional remedies
available to it under the Indenture and otherwise pursuant to the laws of the
State.
(b) Upon the occurrence of an "Event of Default" in Section 7.01(c)
hereof, if the action or non action which resulted in such "Event of Default" is
cured by or on behalf of the Developer prior to the time the notice of
acceleration of the Bonds is given by the Trustee, and prior to a draw under the
Credit Enhancement or the Confirmation, and if the Trustee receives an opinion
of Bond Counsel to the effect that, following such cure and assuming no
recurrence of such default, no material risk exists that interest on the Bonds
will be included in gross income for federal income tax purposes, then any
acceleration of all amounts due under this Agreement shall be rescinded and the
parties shall be restored to the same position as though no such "Event of
Default" had occurred.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section
7.01(a) or (b) above, if there is paid to or deposited with the Trustee, prior
to the time the notice of acceleration of the Bonds is given by the Trustee
under the Indenture, and prior to a draw under the Credit Enhancement or the
Confirmation, a sum sufficient to pay all overdue amounts which resulted in such
Event of Default and Trustee's Expenses, if any, then the acceleration of all
amounts due under this Agreement shall be rescinded and the
-56-
parties shall be restored to the same position as though no such Event of
Default had occurred.
SECTION 7.03. DISCONTINUANCE OF PROCEEDINGS. In case any proceeding
taken by the Agency or its assigns on account of any failure to perform under
this Agreement shall have been discontinued or determined adversely to the
Agency or its assigns, then and in every case the Agency and its assigns shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and
all rights, remedies and powers of the Agency and its assigns shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been taken.
SECTION 7.04. REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No remedy conferred upon or reserved
to the Agency or the Trustee on behalf of the Agency by this Agreement is
intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and
every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given under this Agreement, the Mortgage or the Indenture now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any
right or power accruing upon any failure to perform under this Article shall
impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof. In
order to entitle the Agency or the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it
in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice other than as
otherwise specified in this Agreement.
SECTION 7.05. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. (a) The Developer hereby
covenants and agrees to pay all reasonable fees of Bond Counsel in connection
with rendering opinions after the issuance of the Bonds which are contemplated
by the Indenture and this Agreement.
(b) If, upon or after the occurrence of any default hereunder, the Agency
or the Trustee on behalf of the Agency shall employ attorneys or incur other
expenses for the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or
agreement on the part of the Developer contained herein, the Developer will on
demand therefor reimburse the Agency or the Trustee on behalf of the Agency for
reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other reasonable expenses so
incurred.
(c) The Developer may prosecute or defend any action or proceeding or take
any other action involving any defaulting supplier, contractor, subcontractor or
surety thereof which the Developer deems to be reasonably necessary, and in such
event the Agency agrees to cooperate fully with the Developer to the extent it
may lawfully do so, in any such action or proceeding, subject to the provisions
of Section 6.01(a) hereof. All moneys recovered by way of damages, refunds,
adjustments or otherwise in connection with the foregoing shall belong to the
Developer.

which such payments shall be made by the Credit Enhancer, but, so long as any of
the Bonds remain Outstanding under the terms of the Indenture, such right of
subrogation on the part of the Credit Enhancer shall be in all respects
subordinate to all rights and claims of the Bondholders, the Trustee and the
Agency for all payments which shall be or become due and payable under the
Indenture or otherwise arising under this Agreement, the Note, the Mortgage, the
Land Use Restriction Agreement, as amended, the Indenture or the Bonds. The

thereon shall be made by the Confirming Bank.

only by written agreement of the parties hereto, the Trustee, as assignee, the
Credit Enhancer and the Confirming Bank, if a Confirmation shall then be in
place, and subject to the requirements for and limitations on such amendments

had not been contained herein.
-59-
SECTION 8.08. TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be in full force
and effect from the date hereof and shall continue in effect (i) so long as any
Bonds are outstanding, or (ii) if Alternate Security is in effect in the form of
a guaranty, until 123 days have elapsed after the Developer is obligated to make
any payments under this Agreement during which no "filing" (as defined in
Section 7.01(a) hereof) by or against the Developer occurs, or (iii) so long as
the Trustee holds any moneys under the Indenture or (iv) during the continuance
of any foreclosure proceedings under the Mortgage, whichever is later. All
representations and certifications by the Developer set forth in Article II
hereof and all provisions relating to the payment of any amounts due hereunder

with respect to indemnification, payment of fees and expenses to the Agency and
the Trustee and deposits to the Rebate Fund, if any, pursuant to Sections
4.01(d), 4.02(d), 7.05 and Article VI hereof) and under the analogous provisions
of the Mortgage and of the Land Use Restriction Agreement, the Agency expressly
agrees that the Developer and the partners comprising the Developer shall have
no personal liability hereunder, and such liability shall be strictly and
absolutely limited to the property encumbered by the Mortgage and the leases,
rents, profits and issues thereof and any other collateral securing the Loan. In
the event an Event of Default shall occur: (i) the Agency shall not and may not
seek any judgment for a deficiency against the Developer or any partners
comprising the Developer in their respective capacities as partners, in any
action to foreclose, to exercise a power of sale, to confirm any foreclosure or
sale under power of sale, or to exercise any other rights or power under or by
reason of the Mortgage or any other instrument evidencing or securing the
obligations of the Developer under this Agreement; and (ii) the Agency shall not
and may not seek any judgment on this Agreement or with respect to the Loan
except as a part of judicial proceedings to foreclose the Mortgage securing the
obligations of the Developer under this Agreement. In the event any suit is
brought on this Agreement, or concerning the Loan or any amount secured by the
Mortgage as part of judicial proceedings to foreclose the Mortgage or to confirm
any foreclosure or sale pursuant to power of sale
-60-
thereunder, any judgment obtained in such suit shall constitute a lien on, and
will be and can be (except to the extent that such judgment relates to
obligations relating to indemnification, deposits to the Rebate Fund, if any,
and the payment of fees and expenses to the Agency as provided in Sections
4.01(d), 4.02(d), 7.05 and Article VI hereof) enforced only against, the

thereof and not against any other asset of the Developer or the partners
comprising the Developer, in their respective capacities as partners, and the
terms of such judgment shall expressly so provide; provided, that the foregoing
does not apply to the Credit Enhancer in its capacity as Credit Enhancer under
the Credit Enhancement or to the Confirming Bank in its capacity as Confirming
Bank under the Confirmation Agreement.
