(vii) in the case of requisitions for Costs of Issuance, that the cumulative total amount disbursed thereunder for Costs of Issuance, together with any compensation to the Underwriter as a discount, does not exceed 2% of the proceeds of the Bonds.

The Trustee may rely, without further investigation, on the genuineness of such request of the Company and the signatures of the Authorized Company Representative.

(c) The Issuer hereby gives its express written authority to the Company, absent an Event of Default, to direct the investment of the Construction Fund by the Trustee as hereinafter provided and as permitted by the Indenture.

Section 4.04. Termination of Construction; Completion Certificate.

(a) Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company shall have the right at any time to terminate the construction of the Facility, including the Project, if (i) the Company shall have determined that the construction or operation of the Facility is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable due to (A) the imposition of taxes, other than ad valorem taxes

currently levied upon privately owned property used for the same general purpose as the Facility, or other liabilities or burdens with respect to the Facility or the construction or operation thereof, (B) changes in technology, in environmental standards or legal requirements or in the economic availability of materials, supplies, equipment or labor or (C) destruction of or damage to all or part of the Facility; (ii) all or substantially all of the Facility shall have been condemned or taken by eminent domain; or (iii) the construction or operation of the Facility shall have been enjoined or shall have otherwise been prohibited by, or shall conflict with, any order, decree, rule or regulation of any court or any federal, state or local regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental body.

(b) At such time as the Company determines that construction of the Project has been completed or has determined to terminate any further construction of the Project, it shall deliver a Completion Certificate to that effect to the Issuer and the Trustee.

All such insurance shall designate the Trustee as loss payee and an additional insured, and the Trustee shall receive insurance accord documents so notating and shall be provided with advance knowledge of termination by the Company. The Company shall provide all notices, accord documents and other related documents to the Trustee.

It is understood and agreed that the Issuer shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever with respect to the operation or maintenance of the Project, or the performance of the Project for its designed purposes. After the Completion Date, the Company may at its own expense cause the Project to be remodeled or cause substitutions, modifications and improvements to be made to the Project from time to time as it, in its discretion, may deem to be desirable for its uses and purposes, which remodeling, substitutions, modifications and improvements shall be included under the terms of this Agreement as part of the Project.

Section 4.08. Right To Discontinue Operation of Project. Although the Company intends to operate, or cause to be operated, the Project for its designed purposes until the date on which no Bonds are Outstanding, the Company is not required to operate, or cause to be operated, any portion of the Project after the Company shall deem in its discretion that such continued operation is not advisable and in such event it is not prohibited from selling, leasing, subleasing or retiring all or any such portion of the Project; provided, however, that, prior to any such sale, lease, sublease or retirement, the Company shall have provided to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) a Favorable Opinion with respect to any such sale, lease, sublease or retirement, and (ii) in the event that a portion of the Project will remain in operation subsequent to such sale, lease, sublease or retirement, the Company shall have provided to the Issuer and the Trustee the certificate of an independent engineer to the effect that the Project remains feasible notwithstanding the disposition of a portion thereof. Upon discontinuance of operation of the Project in accordance with this Section 4.08, the Company shall be discharged from its obligations to insure, maintain and repair the Project as set forth in Sections 4.06 and 4.07 hereof.

Section 4.09. Insurance and Condemnation Awards. The net proceeds of any insurance or condemnation award as a result of the destruction or condemnation of the Project or any portion thereof shall, at the option of the Company, either (a) be paid by the Company to the Trustee for deposit into the Bond Fund under the Indenture and for the prepayment of the purchase price of the Project hereunder to be used to redeem Bonds under Section 9.01(d)(i) or (ii) thereof, as the case may be, or (b) if determined to be feasible by an independent feasibility study obtained by the Company at its expense, be used by the Company to rebuild, restore or relocate, as the case may be, the affected portion of the Project.

Section 4.10. Taxation of Project. During the Lease Term, the Company will promptly remit or cause to be remitted when due all taxes, including specifically all sales taxes and ad valorem taxes, levied in respect of the Project or the Rent Payments payable hereunder to the appropriate taxing body. The Company has not and will not maintain that it is entitled, by virtue of the Project being financed under the Act, to any additional exemption from ad valorem taxes on the Project or sale and use taxes on personal property acquired in connection with the Project. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Company may, at its own expense and in its own name, in good faith contest any such taxes, assessments and other charges and, in the event of such contest, may permit the taxes, assessments or other charges so contested to remain unpaid during the period of such contest and any appeal therefrom. All taxes, assessments and other charges levied or imposed with respect to the Project shall be the obligation of the Company and/or any of its affiliates, and the Issuer shall have no obligation or liability in this regard.

Section 4.11. Issuer’s Limited Liability. It is recognized that the Issuer’s only source of funds with which to carry out its commitments under this Agreement will be from the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds or from any available income or earnings derived therefrom, or from any funds which otherwise might be made available by the Company; and it is expressly agreed that the Issuer shall have no financial liability, obligation or responsibility with respect to this Agreement or the Project except to the extent of funds available from such sources. The Bonds shall not constitute nor give rise to a pecuniary liability of the Issuer or a charge against its general credit or taxing powers.

Section 4.12. Governmental Regulation. The Company recognizes and agrees that this Agreement and the issuance of the Bonds pursuant hereto will not diminish or limit the authority of the United States Environmental Protection Agency or any State agency or local government in performing any of the powers, functions and duties vested in such entities by federal and state laws, and that all applicable laws shall be enforced without regard to ownership of the Project; and that the Company will not be relieved of any responsibility under any applicable federal or state laws or regulations pertaining to pollution control, either now, during or after the acquisition, construction and improvement of the Project.

Section 4.13. Securing of Permits and Authorizations. The Company shall not do or permit others under its control to do any work in or in connection with the Project or related to any repair, rebuilding, restoration, replacement, alteration of or addition to the Project, or any part thereof, unless the Company shall have first procured and paid for all requisite municipal and other governmental permits and authorizations. All such work shall be done in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable building, zoning and other laws, ordinances, governmental regulations and requirements and in accordance with the requirements, rules and regulations of all insurers under the applicable policies required to be carried under Section 4.06.

Section 4.14. Mechanics’ Liens. The Company shall not do or suffer anything to be done whereby the Project, or any part thereof, may be encumbered by any mechanics’ or other similar lien and if, whenever and as often as any mechanics’ or other similar lien is filed against the Project, or any part thereof, the Company shall discharge the same of record within 30 days after the date of filing.

Section 4.15. Contest of Liens. The Company, notwithstanding Section 4.14 hereof, shall have the right to contest any such mechanics’ or other similar lien if, within said 30-day period stated above, the Company diligently prosecutes such contest, at all times effectively stays or prevents any official or judicial sale of the Project or any part thereof or interest therein, under execution or otherwise, and pays or otherwise satisfies any final judgment adjudging or enforcing such contested lien claim and thereafter promptly procures record release or satisfaction thereof.

Section 4.16. Cooperation of Issuer. The Issuer shall cooperate fully with the Company at the expense of the Company in filing any proof of loss with respect to any insurance policy covering casualties to the Project and in the prosecution or defense of any prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Project or any part thereof or any property of the Company in connection with which the Project is used and will, to the extent it may lawfully do so, permit the Company to litigate in any proceeding resulting therefrom in the name and on behalf of the Issuer. In no event will the Issuer voluntarily settle, or consent to the settlement of, any proceeding arising out of any insurance claim or any prospective or pending condemnation proceeding with respect to the Project or any part thereof without the written consent of the Authorized Company Representative.

LEASE OF PROJECT TO THE COMPANY; RENTAL PROVISIONS

Section 6.01. Quiet Enjoyment. Unless there has occurred and is continuing an Event of Default, the Issuer hereby covenants and agrees that it will not take any action, other than pursuant to Section 4.02(c) or Article VII of this Agreement, to prevent the Company from having quiet and peaceable possession and enjoyment of the Project during the Lease Term and will, at the request of the Company, and at the Company’s cost, to the extent that it may lawfully do so, join in any legal action in which the Company asserts its right to such possession and enjoyment.

The Issuer agrees that the Project shall be the sole property of the Company and that the Company shall enjoy the sole and exclusive possession of the Project (subject to the right of the Issuer and the Trustee to enter thereon for inspection and other purposes pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement). The parties acknowledge that for federal and state income tax purposes, the Company is intended to be the owner of the Project entitled to the related depreciation deductions, that the Company’s Rent Payments pursuant to Section 6.02 hereof consist of interest components and a principal component for payment of the interest and principal, respectively, of the Bonds with the Company as indirect obligor under the Bonds, and that the Issuer will not take a position contrary to those as aforesaid.

Section 6.02. Rent Payments and Other Amounts Payable.

(a) The Company agrees to pay the Rent Payments to the Issuer as and for rental and for the use of the Project on or before, but not later than, five days next preceding each date provided in or pursuant to the Indenture for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds (the interest payment dates for the Bonds being June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2008) until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with the Indenture, in immediately available funds, a sum which, together with other moneys available therefor in the Bond Fund, will enable the Trustee to pay the amount payable on such date as principal of (whether at maturity, or upon redemption, purchase, or acceleration or otherwise), premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds as provided in the Indenture.

It is understood and agreed that all payments payable under this Section 6.02(a) by the Company are assigned by the Issuer to the Trustee for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds. The Company assents to such assignment. The Issuer hereby directs the Company, and the Company hereby agrees to pay directly to the Trustee at the Trustee’s Philadelphia, Pennsylvania office (or such other office as the Trustee may direct by written notice to the Company and the Issuer), all payments payable by the Company pursuant to this Section 6.02(a).

The Rent Payments, together with available funds held on deposit in the Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund, except funds held therein for payment of matured installments of principal on the Bonds or interest payable thereon, shall be sufficient to pay when due all principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, and shall be due in monthly amounts on the first Business Day of each month in an amount necessary in a pro rata sum to prepare for the semiannual payment of the Bonds. If any available funds (including for this purpose moneys transferred from the Capitalized Interest Account of the Construction Fund in accordance with Section 5.02 of the Indenture) in excess of current requirements are held on deposit in the Debt Service Account of the Bond Fund at the time payment of any Rent Payment is due, such Rent Payment shall be reduced by the amount of the available funds so held on deposit, to the benefit of the Company.

(d) In the event the Company should fail to make any of the payments required in this Section 6.02, the item or installment so in Default shall continue as an obligation of the Company until the amount in Default shall have been fully paid, and the Company agrees to pay the same with interest thereon or with respect to payments to the Trustee or the Issuer with interest thereon, to the extent permitted by law, from the date thereof at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds.

The Company may, without creating a default hereunder, contest the reasonableness of any cost described in Section 6.02(b), (c) or (d).

Section 6.03. [Reserved].

Section 6.04. Company Approval of Issuance of Bonds.

(a) Simultaneously with the authorization of this Agreement by the City Council of the Issuer, such City Council has adopted the Bond Ordinance. In consideration of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and to enable the Issuer to issue the Bonds to carry out the intents and purposes hereof, this Agreement is executed to assure the issuance of such Bonds and to provide for the due and punctual payment by the Company to the Issuer, or to the Trustee under the Indenture securing the Bonds, of amounts not less than those required to pay, as and when due (whether at stated maturity, upon

redemption, acceleration of maturity, tender, deemed tender or otherwise), and at such time as will assure payment on the due date thereof, all of the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on, the Bonds, and all other payments required in connection with such Bonds, this Agreement or the Indenture. Each such payment is hereby designated as a “Rent Payment,” and collectively such payments are hereby designated as “Rent Payments.” The Company hereby agrees to make, or cause to be made, each Rent Payment, as and when due, for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds into the Bond Fund, as provided in the Indenture.

(b) By execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Company hereby approves the Bond Ordinance, the Indenture and the Tax Regulatory Agreement. It is hereby agreed that the foregoing approval of the Bond Ordinance, the Indenture and the Tax Regulatory Agreement constitutes the acknowledgment and agreement of the Company that the Bonds, when issued, sold and delivered as provided in the Bond Ordinance and the Indenture, will be issued in accordance with and in compliance with this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary. Any Bondholder is entitled to rely fully and unconditionally on the foregoing approval. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary, the Company’s approval of the Bond Ordinance, the Indenture and the Tax Regulatory Agreement shall be the Company’s agreement that all covenants and provisions in this Agreement, the Indenture and the Tax Regulatory Agreement affecting the Company shall, upon the delivery of the Bonds and the Indenture, become unconditional, valid and binding covenants and obligations of the Company so long as the Bonds and the interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid. Particularly, the obligation of the Company to make, promptly when due, all Rent Payments specified in this Agreement and the Indenture shall be absolute and unconditional, and said obligation may be enforced as provided in this Agreement and the Indenture.

Section 6.05. Redemption of Bonds. The Issuer, upon the written request of the Company (and provided that the affected Bonds are subject to redemption or prepayment prior to maturity at the option of the Issuer or the Company and provided, further, that such request is received in sufficient time prior to the date upon which such redemption or prepayment is proposed), forthwith shall take or cause to be taken all action that may be necessary under the applicable redemption provisions of the Indenture to effect such redemption prior to maturity, to the full extent of funds either made available for such purpose by the Company or already on deposit under the Indenture and available for such purpose. The redemption of any outstanding Bonds prior to maturity at any time shall not relieve the Company of its absolute and unconditional obligation to pay each remaining Rent Payment with respect to any outstanding Bonds, as specified in the Indenture. If a redemption of Bonds is required pursuant to the provisions of the Indenture, the Company agrees as provided herein to forthwith make Rent Payments sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds.

Section 6.06. Rent Prepayment. The Company shall have and is hereby granted the right to prepay or cause to be prepaid all or a portion of each Rent Payment at any time, and shall be obligated to do so in a timely manner if and to the extent the Company requests redemption or prepayment of the Bonds and the purchase of the Project pursuant to Article IX hereof. The Company shall be

obligated to prepay or cause to be prepaid the Rent Payments then due and owing under the circumstances as provided by Article X hereof. Any such prepayment by the Company shall not relieve it of liability for each remaining Rent Payment with respect to the Outstanding Bonds except as provided in this Agreement and the Indenture. In the event the Company should fail to make any of the payments required in this Section 6.06 the amount so in default shall continue as an obligation of the Company until such amount in default shall have been fully paid.

Section 6.07. Payments To Replenish Debt Service Reserve Fund. In the event of a deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Company shall, within 30 days of the drawing upon the Debt Service Reserve Fund, pay into the Debt Service Reserve Fund an amount equal to the amount of such deficiency.

Section 6.08. Issuer’s Rights Assigned to Trustee. The Company is advised and recognizes that as security for the payment of the Bonds, the Issuer will assign to the Trustee the Issuer’s rights under this Agreement, including the right to receive payments hereunder (except the Unassigned Rights and the right to receive notices hereunder), and hereby directs the Company to make said payments directly to the Trustee. The Company herewith assents to such assignment and will make such payments directly to the Trustee without defense or setoff by reason of any dispute between the Company and the Issuer or the Trustee. All rights against the Company arising under this Agreement or the Bond Ordinance or Indenture and assigned to the Trustee under the Indenture may be enforced by the Trustee, or the owners of the Bonds, to the extent provided in the Indenture, and the Trustee, or the owners of the Bonds, shall be entitled to bring any suit, action or proceeding against the Company, to the extent provided in the Bond Ordinance or Indenture, for the enforcement of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary in any such suit, action or proceeding to make the Issuer a party thereto.

Section 6.09. Payments to Trustee. The Company agrees to pay (a) the initial acceptance fee of the Trustee and reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, incurred by the Trustee in entering into and executing the Indenture and (b) until the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds shall have been fully paid or provision for the payment thereof shall have been made in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, (i) an amount equal to the annual fee of the Trustee for the Ordinary Services of the Trustee, as trustee, rendered and its reasonable Ordinary Expenses incurred under the Indenture, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when the same become due, (ii) the fees, charges and expenses of the Trustee, as Bond Registrar and as Paying Agent, and any other Bond Registrar or Paying Agent on the Bonds, as and when the same become due, (iii) an amount equal to the fees of the Trustee for its Extraordinary Services rendered and its reasonable Extraordinary Expenses incurred under the Indenture, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, as and when the same become due and (iv) the cost of printing any Bonds required to be furnished by the Issuer.

The provisions of this Section 6.09 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

Section 7.01. Events of Default. The occurrence and continuation of any one of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Agreement (an “Event of Default”):

(a) failure by the Company to pay, when due, Rent Payments with respect to principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Bond or failure to make any payments required by Section 6.07 hereof with respect to any deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Fund;

(b) failure by the Company to observe and perform any covenant, condition or agreement on its part required to be observed or performed in this Agreement, other than as referred to in (a) above, for a period of 90 days after receipt by the Company of written notice specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, given to the Company by the Issuer or the Trustee, unless the Issuer and the Trustee shall agree in writing to an extension of such time prior to its expiration; provided further, however, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be corrected within the applicable period, the Issuer and the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold their consent to an extension of such time if corrective action is instituted within the applicable period and diligently pursued until the default is corrected; provided further, if any such failure obligates the Company to prepay Rent Payments because of mandatory redemption of Bonds pursuant to Section 9.01(c) of the Indenture, and such prepayment is in fact made by the Company and Bonds are redeemed as provided in the Indenture, then such failure by the Company shall not constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement;

(c) the occurrence of an Act of Bankruptcy and, if occurring by reason of clause (b) of the definition thereof, such petition resulting therefrom shall not be stayed or denied, or a proceeding resulting therefrom shall not be discharged, within 90 days after the filing of such petition or the commencement of such proceeding, as the case may be;

(d) the occurrence of an “Event of Default” under the Indenture; or

Section 7.02. Remedies on Default. Whenever any Event of Default shall have happened and is existing, the Issuer, with the consent of the Trustee, or the Trustee may take any one or more of the following remedial steps, but only if acceleration of the principal amount of the Bonds has been declared pursuant to Section 11.02 of the Indenture:

(a) by notice in writing to the Company, declare the unpaid Rent Payments to be due and payable immediately if concurrently with or prior to such notice the unpaid principal amount of the Bonds has been declared to be due and payable under the Indenture, and upon any such declaration the amounts payable under Section 6.04 and 6.06 hereof shall become and

shall be immediately due and payable in the amount set forth in Section 11.02 of the Indenture; provided, however, that an Event of Default shall be deemed waived and a declaration accelerating payment of unpaid Rent Payments payable under this Agreement shall be deemed rescinded without further action on the part of the Trustee or the Issuer upon any annulment by the Trustee of the corresponding declaration of acceleration of the Bonds under Section 11.02 of the Indenture.

(b) Whatever action at law or in equity may appear necessary or desirable to collect the payment and other amounts then due or to enforce performance and observance of any obligation, agreement or covenant of the Company under this Agreement.

So long as the Company is allowing the Consultant access to the Facility and its records, and, upon completion of a report satisfactory to the Majority Holders, so long as the Company is following the recommendations of the Consultant made in such report, then, in that event, and subject to the written direction of the Majority Holders, the Trustee shall take no other remedial action hereunder.

In case the Issuer, with the consent of the Trustee, or the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Issuer and/or the Trustee, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceeding had been taken.

The Company covenants that, in case an Event of Default shall occur with respect to the payment of any Rent Payment payable under Sections 6.04 and 6.06 hereof, then, upon written demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable under said Sections 6.04 and 6.06.

In case the Company shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

Section 8.03. Indemnities.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.03(c) below, the Company releases the Issuer, its Councilmembers, officers, directors, employees, agents and attorneys (the “Indemnified Parties”), from, and the Indemnified Parties shall not be liable for, and the Company agrees and shall protect, indemnify, pay, defend and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from, any and all liability, cost, expense, damage or loss of whatever nature (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees, litigation and court costs, amounts paid in settlement and amounts paid to discharge judgments) directly or indirectly resulting from, arising out of, in connection with or related to (i) the issuance, offering, sale, delivery, payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon, or redemption of the Bonds, the provisions and rate of interest on the Bonds, the Bond Ordinance, the Indenture, the Tax Regulatory Agreement and this Agreement and the obligations imposed on the Issuer hereby and thereby, or the design, construction, installation, operation, use, occupancy, maintenance or ownership of the Project; (ii) any written statements or representations made or given by the Company or any of its officers or employees, to the Indemnified Parties, the Trustee or any underwriters or purchasers of any of the Bonds, with respect to the Issuer, the Company, the Project or the Bonds or the offer or issuance thereof, including, but not limited to, statements or representations of facts, financial information or corporate affairs; (iii) damage to property or any injury to or death of any person that may be occasioned by any cause whatsoever pertaining to the Project; (iv) any loss or damage incurred by the Issuer as a result of violation by the Company of the provisions of Section 8.04 or 8.05 hereof; and (v) any action required to be taken by the Issuer under this Agreement, the Bond Ordinance, the Tax Regulatory Agreement or the Indenture.

(b) The Company hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and its directors, officers, agents and employees (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, losses, damages, fines, penalties and expenses, including out-of-pocket, incidental expenses, legal fees and expenses, and the allocated costs and expenses of in-house counsel and legal staff (“Losses”) that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees or any of them for following any instruction, request for payment or other direction upon which the Trustee is authorized to rely, pursuant to the terms of the Indenture, the Guaranty, the Company Agreements or any other of the financing documents. In addition to and not in limitation of the immediately preceding sentence, the Company also agrees to indemnify and hold the Indemnitees and each of them harmless from and against any and all Losses that may be imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Indemnitees or any of them in connection with or arising out of the Trustee’s performance under the Indenture, the Guaranty, the Company Agreements or any other financing document.

(c) If any claim is asserted under (a) above or (d) below, the party seeking indemnity will give prompt notice to the Company, and the Company shall have the sole right and duty to assume, and will assume, the defense thereof, with full power to litigate, compromise or settle the same in its sole discretion. THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS 8.03(a) AND (b) SHALL REMAIN AND BE IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT EVEN IF ANY SUCH LIABILITY, COST, EXPENSE, DAMAGE OR LOSS OR CLAIM THEREFOR BY ANY PERSON DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY RESULTS FROM, ARISES OUT OF OR RELATES TO, OR IS ASSERTED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM, ARISE OUT OF OR BE RELATED TO, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, ONE OR MORE NEGLIGENT ACTS OR OMISSIONS (OTHER THAN, IN THE CASE OF AN INDEMNIFIED PARTY UNDER (a) ABOVE, AS A RESULT OF WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH OF THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNITY OR, IN THE CASE OF THE TRUSTEE, AS A RESULT OF GROSS NEGLIGENCE, WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR BAD FAITH ON THE PART OF THE TRUSTEE) OF THE PARTY SEEKING INDEMNITY, IN CONNECTION WITH THE MATTERS SET FORTH THEREIN. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in any action naming the Trustee as defendant, the Trustee shall have the right to retain separate legal counsel at the expense of the Company, provided that in the event that the Company is not in Default under this Agreement, the Company shall have the right of approval of any such legal counsel retained by the Trustee for the Trustee’s defense, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and shall be given promptly upon request by the Trustee. The Trustee and the Company shall reasonably cooperate with each other in the defense of any such action.

(d) (1) The Company agrees and shall protect, defend (subject to selection of counsel by the Indemnified Parties or Indemnitees, as the case may be, as provided by Section 8.03(c) hereof), indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties and Indemnitees from and against any and all Indemnified Liabilities; provided, no Indemnified Party or Indemnitee shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to any Indemnified Liability to the extent such Indemnified Liability is found by a final and nonappealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted directly and primarily from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of such Indemnified Party or Indemnitee.

(2) All amounts due under Section 8.03(d)(1) hereof shall be payable not later than 10 days after written demand therefor.

(3) To the extent that the undertakings to defend, indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in Section 8.03(d)(1) hereof may be unenforceable in whole or in part because they are violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties or the Indemnitees or any of them.

(4) The Company shall not ever assert any claim against any Indemnified Party or Indemnitee, on any theory of liability, for any lost profits or special, indirect or consequential damages or (to the fullest extent lawful) any punitive damages arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of, this Agreement, any security document or any agreement or instrument or transaction contemplated hereby or relating in any respect to any Indemnified Liability, and the Company hereby forever waive, release and agree not to xxx upon any claim for any such lost profits or special, indirect, consequential or (to the fullest extent lawful) punitive damages, whether or not accrued and whether or not known or suspected to exist in its favor.

(e) The provisions of this Section 8.03 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the full payment or defeasance of the Bonds in accordance with Article XVI of the Indenture and, with respect to the Trustee, the resignation or removal of the Trustee for any reason.

Section 8.04. Tax-exempt Status of the Bonds. It is the intention of the Company and the Issuer that the interest on the Bonds be excludable from the gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes, except for any Bond for any period that such Bond is owned by a person who is a “substantial user” of the proceeds of the Project or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code. To that end, the Company and the Issuer (to the extent reasonably within the control of the Issuer) covenant with each other, and with the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders, to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, and to take such action to assure, the treatment of the Bonds as obligations described in Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is not includable in the “gross income” of the holder (other than the income of a “substantial user” of the Project or a “related person” within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code) for purposes of federal income taxation. As more particularly set out in the Tax Regulatory Agreement and notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Company hereby covenants as follows:

(a) to take such action as is necessary to ensure that at least 95% of the net proceeds of the Bonds will be used to provide “solid waste disposal facilities” within the meaning of Section 142(a)(6) of the Code;

(b) to refrain from taking any action that would result in the Bonds being “federally guaranteed” within the meaning of Section 149(b) of the Code;

(c) to refrain from using any portion of the proceeds of the Bonds, directly or indirectly, to acquire or to replace funds which were used, directly or indirectly, to acquire investment property (as defined in Section 148(b)(2) of the Code) which produces a materially higher yield over the term of the Bonds than the yield on the Bonds, other than investment property acquired with:

(i) proceeds of the Bonds invested for a period of three years or less until such proceeds are used for the purposes for which the Bonds were issued;

(ii) amounts invested in a bona fide debt service fund, within the meaning of Section 1.148-1(b) of the Regulations; and

(iii) amounts deposited in any reasonably required reserve or replacement fund to the extent such amounts do not exceed 10% of the proceeds of the Bonds and to the extent that at no time during any bond year will the aggregate amount so invested exceed 150% of debt service on the Bonds for such year;

(d) to otherwise restrict the use or investment of the proceeds of the Bonds or amounts treated as proceeds of the Bonds, as may be necessary, to satisfy the requirements of Section 148 of the Code (relating to arbitrage) and Section 149(d) of the Code (relating to advance refundings);

(e) to use no more than 2% of the proceeds received from the sale of the Bonds for the payment of Costs of Issuance (including underwriters’ discount, if any);

(f) to use no portion of the proceeds of the Bonds to provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, health club facility, facility primarily used for gambling or store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises;

(g) to comply with the limitations imposed by Section 147(c) of the Code (relating to the limitation on the use of proceeds to acquire land) and Section 147(d) of the Code (relating to restrictions on the use of bond proceeds to acquire existing buildings, structures or other property);

(h) to pay to the United States of America (to the extent not paid by the Trustee pursuant to the Indenture) at least once during each five-year period (beginning on the date of delivery of the Bonds) an amount that is at least equal to 90% of the “Excess Earnings,” within the meaning of Section 148(f) of the Code and to pay to the United States of America, not later than 60 days after the Bonds have been paid in full, 100% of the amount then required to be paid as a result of Excess Earnings under Section 148(f) of the Code, unless the Bonds qualify for the exception to rebate set forth in Section 148(f)(4)(B) of the Code or the Regulations thereunder; and

(i) to provide to the Trustee, at such time as required by the Trustee, all information required by the Trustee with respect to Nonpurpose Investments (as defined in Section 148 of the Code) not held in any fund under the Indenture.

For purposes of the foregoing (a) and (b), the term “proceeds” includes “disposition proceeds” as defined in the Treasury Regulations and, in the case of refunding bonds, transferred proceeds (if any) and proceeds of the refunded bonds expended prior to the date of issuance of the Bonds.

It is the understanding of the Issuer and the Company that the covenants contained herein are intended to assure compliance with the Code and any regulations or rulings promulgated by the United States Department of the Treasury pursuant thereto. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which modify or expand provisions of the Code, as applicable to the Bonds, the Issuer and the Company will not be required to comply with any covenant contained herein to the extent that such failure to comply, in the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, will not adversely affect the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code. In the event that regulations or rulings are hereafter promulgated which impose additional requirements which are applicable to the Bonds, the Company agrees to comply with the additional requirements to the extent necessary, in the opinion of Bond Counsel delivered to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee, to preserve the exclusion of interest on the Bonds from the gross income of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code. In furtherance of such intention, the Issuer hereby authorizes and directs the Mayor or Finance Director to execute any documents, certificates or reports required by the Code and to make such elections, on behalf of the Issuer, which may be permitted by the Code as are consistent with the purpose for the issuance of the Bonds.

Section 8.05. Payment to Rebate Fund. The Company hereby covenants and agrees to make the determinations and to pay any deficiency in the Rebate Fund, at the times and as described in Section 8.05 of the Indenture. In any event, if the amount of cash held in the Rebate Fund shall be insufficient to permit the Trustee to make payment to the United States of any amount due under Section 148(f)(2) of the Code, the Company forthwith shall pay the amount of such insufficiency on such date to the Trustee in immediately available funds. The obligations of the Company under this Section 8.05 are direct obligations of the Company, acting under the authorization of, and on behalf of, the Issuer, and the Issuer shall have no further obligation or duty with respect to the Rebate Fund.

Section 8.06. Qualification in State; Existence.

(a) The Company agrees that so long as it or its affiliates own and operate the Project, it or any such affiliate will be qualified to do business in the State.

(b) Subject to Section 8.02 hereof, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect:

(i) its limited liability company existence, in accordance with its organizational documents (as the same may be amended from time to time); and

(ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate, partnership, if the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Bonds.

Section 8.07. Recordation. The Company agrees that it will record and re-record and file and refile this Agreement, the Sublease and any of the financing statements and all supplements and necessary continuation statements with respect thereto, and such other instruments as may be required from time to time to be recorded or filed, in such manner and in such places as from time to time may be required by law in order fully to preserve and protect any security interests of the Owners of the Bonds and the rights of the Trustee hereunder and under the Indenture. The Company shall promptly provide copies of such instruments to the Trustee.

Section 8.08. Granting of Easements. If no Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, the Company may at any time or times, subject to its leasehold interest, cause to be granted easements, licenses, rights of way (including the dedication of public highways) and other rights or privileges in the nature of easements with respect to any property or rights included in the Indenture, free from any security interest afforded by or under the Indenture, or the Company may release existing easements, licenses, rights of way and other rights and privileges with or without consideration, and the Issuer agrees that it shall execute and deliver, and will cause and direct the Trustee in writing to execute and deliver, any instrument necessary or appropriate to confirm and grant or release any such easement, license, right of way or other grant or privilege upon receipt of: (a) a copy of the instrument of grant or release, (b) a written application signed by the Authorized Company Representative requesting such instrument and certifying (i) that such grant or release is not detrimental to the proper conduct of the business of the Company and (ii) that such grant or release will not impair the effective use or interfere with the operation of the Project and (c) an opinion of the Company’s counsel that such grant or release will not impair the security for the Bonds afforded by or under the Indenture.

Section 8.09. Release of Certain Land. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto reserve the right, at any time and from time to time, to amend this Agreement and the Indenture for the purpose of effecting the release of and removal from this Agreement, the leasehold estate created hereby and the lien of the Indenture of (a) any unimproved part of the Project Site (on which no Project building or other building or equipment owned by the Company and essential to the continued operation of the Project is situated) or (b) any part of the Project Site with respect to which the owner of the Project Site proposes to convey fee title to a railroad, public utility or public body in order that railroad service, utility services or roads may be provided for the Facility, provided, that if at the time any such amendment is made any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, such amendment shall not be effective until and unless there are deposited with the Trustee the following:

(i) Copies of the said amendments to this Agreement and the Indenture as executed;

(ii) A resolution or ordinance of the Issuer (A) stating that the Issuer is not in default under any of the provisions of the Indenture and that the Issuer and the Company are not, to the knowledge of the Issuer, in default under any of the provisions of this Agreement, (B) giving an adequate legal description for that portion of the Project Site to be released, (C) stating the purpose for which the release is desired, (D) requesting such release and (E) approving such amendments to this Agreement; and

(iii) Evidence of the authority of the officers of the Company who execute such amendments to this Agreement.

Section 8.10. Suspension of Covenants When the Bonds Rated Investment Grade. If on any date following the Issue Date:

(a) the rating assigned to the Bonds by S&P, Xxxxx’x or Fitch is an Investment Grade Rating after giving effect to the suspension of covenants contemplated by this Section 8.10 upon the achievement of such Investment Grade Rating, and

(b) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, then, beginning on that day and subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, the covenants specifically listed in Sections 8.02(d), 8.12, 8.17 and 8.22 hereof will be suspended with respect to the Bonds:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the ratings assigned by both such rating agencies with respect to the Bonds should subsequently decline to below an Investment Grade Rating, the provisions of Sections 8.02(d), 8.12, 8.17 and 8.22 hereof will be reinstituted as of and from the date of such rating decline.

Section 8.11. Request for Ratings. Upon the written request of the holders of a majority of the Bonds, the Company will prepare at its expense an application to one or more (in the Company’s sole discretion) of Xxxxx’x, S&P and Fitch to seek an Investment Grade Rating and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such rating; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make such application more than once every year.

Section 8.12. Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Stock. The Company will not directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock to any Person other than the Company; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue Disqualified Stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended eight full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock is issued would have been at least 1.5 to 1, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or the Disqualified Stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such eight-quarter period.

The provisions of this Section 8.12(a) will not prohibit the incurrence of any of the following items of Indebtedness (collectively, “Permitted Debt”):

(a) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness evidenced by or in support of the Bonds, in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (a), including all Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred to refund, refinance or replace any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (a), without duplication, not to exceed $7,000,000 less the aggregate amount of all repayments, optional or mandatory, of the principal of any Indebtedness incurred pursuant to this clause (a) that have been made by the Company since the Issue Date;

(b) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness in respect of workers’ compensation claims, self-insurance obligations, bankers’ acceptances, performance and surety bonds provided by the Company in the ordinary course of business;

(c) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds, so long as such Indebtedness is covered within five Business Days;

(d) the incurrence by the Company of Indebtedness to EPC pursuant to the terms of the Support Agreement (the “EPC Debt”); and

(e) working capital debt not exceeding an amount equal to 5% of the original principal amount of the Bonds.

The Company will not incur any Indebtedness (including Permitted Debt) that is contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company unless such Indebtedness is also contractually subordinated in right of payments under this Agreement on substantially identical terms (it being acknowledged that the EPC Debt is so subordinated); provided, however, that no Indebtedness of the Company will be deemed to be contractually subordinated in right of payment to any other Indebtedness of the Company solely by virtue of being unsecured or by virtue of being secured on a junior basis.

The accrual of interest, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, and the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock will not be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock for purposes of this covenant. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in exchange rates or currency values.

Section 8.13. Liens. The Company will not, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind on any asset now owned or hereafter acquired, except Permitted Liens.

Section 8.14. Limitation on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. The Company will not enter into any sale and leaseback transaction; provided that the Company may enter into a sale and leaseback transaction if:

(a) The Company could have incurred Indebtedness in an amount equal to the Attributable Debt relating to such sale and leaseback transaction under Section 8.12 hereof; and

(b) the gross cash proceeds of that sale and leaseback transaction are at least equal to the Fair Market Value of the property that is the subject of that sale and leaseback transaction.

Section 8.15. Application of Proceeds of Asset Sales. The Company shall, within 360 days of any Asset Sale, either (a) reinvest not less than 95% of the proceeds of such Asset Sale in assets to be used in a Permitted Business or (b) apply 100% of the proceeds to the redemption or purchase at a price not in excess of 100% of principal amount of the Bonds plus accrued interest to the date of redemption or purchase. If proceeds are to be reinvested and the sale was of assets financed with the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds, the use of proceeds is conditioned on the prior receipt of the Trustee of an opinion of bond counsel to the effect that such application will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of interest on such bonds. If proceeds are to be reinvested and if the Asset Sale was of all or substantially all of the Facility, the Company shall provide the Trustee with a feasibility study by a nationally recognized feasibility consultant demonstrating that as proposed to be built and operated, the pro forma Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio will not be less than 2.0 to 1 for the three years immediately following Commercial Operation of the assets acquired with the proceeds of the Asset Sale.

Section 8.16. Successor Person Substituted. Upon any consolidation or merger, or any sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company taken as a whole in a transaction that is subject to, and that complies with the provisions of, Section 8.16 hereof, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into or with which the Company is merged or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such consolidation, merger, sale, lease, conveyance or other disposition, the provisions of this Agreement referring to the “Company” shall refer instead to the successor Person and not to the Company), and may exercise every right and power of the Company under this Agreement with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named as the Company herein.

Section 8.17. Transactions With Affiliates. The Company will not make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of, any Affiliate of the Company (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”), unless:

(a) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable (as reasonably determined by the Company) to the Company than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company with an unrelated Person; and

(b) The Company delivers to the Trustee:

(i) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of 5% of Tangible Assets of any of the Parties to the Affiliate Transaction as of the end of the most recent fiscal quarter (the “Asset Percentage”), a resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company set forth in an Officers’ Certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this Section 8.17(a) and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors; and

(ii) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of the Asset Percentage, an opinion as to the fairness to the Company of such Affiliate Transaction from a financial point of view issued by an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing.

The following items will not be deemed to be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of Section 8.17(a) hereof:

(a) any employment agreement or director’s engagement agreement, employee benefit plan, officer and director indemnification agreement or any similar arrangement entered into by the Company in the ordinary course of business or approved by the relevant Board of Directors;

To exercise such option, the Company shall, within 120 days following the event authorizing the exercise of such option, give written notice to the Issuer, and to the Trustee if any of the Bonds shall then be unpaid, certifying as to the occurrence of any of the foregoing events and the Company’s exercise of its option under this Section, and shall specify therein the date of closing such purchase, which date shall be not less than 50 days or more than 90 days from the date such notice is mailed, and in case of a redemption of the Bonds in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of the required notice of redemption.

ARTICLE X

OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE PROJECT IN

EVENT OF A DETERMINATION OF TAXABILITY

The Company shall be obligated to purchase the Project and, accordingly, prepay the Bonds within 180 days after a Determination of Taxability (as defined below) shall have occurred at the purchase price and otherwise as provided by Section 9.01(c)(i) of the Indenture.

A “Determination of Taxability” shall have been deemed to occur if, as a result of an Event of Taxability (as defined below), a final decree or judgment of any federal court or a final action of the Internal Revenue Service determines that interest paid or payable on any Bond is or was includable in the gross income of an owner or beneficial owner of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes under the Code (other than an owner or beneficial owner who is a substantial user or related person within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code). However, no such decree or action will be considered final for this purpose unless the Company has been given written notice and, if it is so desired and is legally allowed, has been afforded the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of any holder of a Bond, and until conclusion of any appellate review, if sought. If the Trustee receives written notice from any Bondholder stating that (a) the Bondholder has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to include the interest on any Bond in the gross income of such Bondholder for the reasons described herein or any other proceeding has been instituted against such Bondholder which may lead to a final decree or action as described herein, and (b) such Bondholder will afford the Company the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the Bondholder, and until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, and the Trustee is satisfied that such information is accurate, then the Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company, the Issuer and the owner of each Bond then Outstanding. The Trustee shall thereafter coordinate any similar requests or notices it may have received from other Bondholders and shall keep them informed of the progress of any administrative proceedings or litigation. If a final decree or action as described above thereafter occurs, the Trustee shall make the required demand for payment of purchase price and prepayment of the Bonds and give notice of the redemption of the Bonds at the earliest practical date, but not later than the date specified in this Article X, and in the manner provided by Section 9.04 of the Indenture.

An “Event of Taxability” shall be deemed to mean the failure of the Company to observe any covenant, agreement or representation herein or in the Tax Regulatory Agreement, which failure results in a Determination of Taxability.

The term “Taxable Date” shall mean the date as of which occurred an Event of Taxability which resulted in a Determination of Taxability.

The purchase price shall be applied, together with other available moneys in the Bond Fund, to the redemption of the Bonds in accordance with Section 9.01(c) thereof on the earliest possible date after notice as provided in the Indenture, whether or not such date is an interest payment date, to the Trustee’s and the Paying Agents’ fees and expenses under the Indenture accrued to such prepayment and redemption of the Bonds and to all sums due to the Issuer under this Agreement.

Whenever the Company shall have been given any notice of prepayment of the Bonds pursuant to this Article X which includes a notice for redemption of the Bonds pursuant to Section 9.04 of the Indenture, all amounts payable under the first paragraph of this Article X shall become due and payable on the date fixed for the redemption of such Bonds.

The parties recognize that the Bonds are being issued as obligations on which the interest is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes under Section 103 of the Code and that circumstances (not now contemplated or anticipated) may hereafter result in a Determination of Taxability as provided above. It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Company shall, under the circumstances set forth in the preceding sentence, provide each person who presents proof satisfactory to the Trustee that he is or was an owner for federal income tax purposes of a Bond on or after the Taxable Date with the relief prescribed in Section 9.04 of the Indenture, even though it might be thereafter determined by court order, ruling or otherwise that interest on the Bonds was, in fact, not subject to federal income taxes.

ARTICLE XI

GENERAL PROVISIONS

Section 11.01. General Provisions.

(a) The terms of this Agreement may be enforced as to one or more breaches either separately or cumulatively.

(b) No remedy conferred upon or reserved to the Issuer, the Company or the Trustee in 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 now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. In the event any provision contained in this Agreement should be breached by the Issuer or the Company and thereafter duly waived, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any

other breach of this Agreement. No waiver by either party of any breach by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach, whether of the same or of a different provision of this Agreement. In view of the assignment of the Issuer’s rights in and under this Agreement to the Trustee under the Indenture, the Issuer shall have no power to waive any default hereunder by the Company without the consent of the Trustee. Any waiver of any “Event of Default” under the Indenture and a rescission and annulment of its consequences shall constitute a waiver of the corresponding Event of Default hereunder and a rescission and annulment of the consequences thereof.

(c) Headings of the Sections of this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and in no way shall they affect the interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) This Agreement is made for the exclusive benefit of the Issuer, the Trustee, the owners of the Bonds and the Company, and their respective successors and assigns herein permitted, and not for any third party or parties; and nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party or parties other than the Issuer, the Trustee and the Company, and their respective successors and assigns herein permitted, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. In particular, but not by way of limitation, the Trustee shall be a third-party beneficiary for purposes of enforcing its rights and the Company’s obligations under Sections 6.08 and 8.03(b) and (c) of this Agreement as fully as if the Trustee had been a party in privity of contract with the Company hereunder.

Section 11.02. Financial Statements. The Company shall furnish to the Trustee as soon as available and in any event within 120 days after the end of its fiscal year (currently December 31) a balance sheet of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries as of the end of such fiscal year and the related statements of income, cash flows and change in stockholder’s equity for such fiscal year, all prepared in accordance with GAAP and reported on by an Accountant whose report shall state that such financial statements present fairly the Company’s financial position as of the end of such fiscal year and the results of operations and cash flows for such fiscal year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if and when and so long as the Company shall file regular and periodic reports with the SEC pursuant to Sections 13 and 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of copies of its reports on Form 10-K promptly following filing thereof with the SEC shall constitute full compliance with this Section 11.02. The Trustee is authorized to provide to any Bondholder, upon written request and payment of all costs by such Bondholder, copies of any of such financial statements and reports but the Trustee shall have no other responsibility with respect thereto.

Section 11.03. Amendment of Agreement. No amendment, change, addition to or waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto unless in writing signed by the Authorized Company Representative and the Authorized Issuer Representative, and acknowledged in writing by the Trustee, if any. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, it is covenanted and agreed, for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds and the Trustee that the provisions of this Agreement shall not be amended, changed, added to or waived in any way which would relieve, reduce or abrogate the obligations of the Company to make or pay, or cause to be made or paid, when due, all Rent Payments with respect to any then outstanding Bonds which have been issued

and delivered pursuant to this Agreement, in the manner and under the terms and conditions provided herein and in the Ordinance or Indenture, or which would change or affect Article II or Section 5.02(b), 6.02, 6.04, 6.05, 6.06, 6.07, 6.08, 7.01, 8.01, 8.02, 8.04, 8.05, 11.03 or 11.04 hereof unless, in the judgment of the Trustee, which may be made in reliance upon an opinion of Counsel, such change or amendment would not materially adversely affect the interests of the Bondholders.

Section 11.04. Assignment and Subleasing. The Company may assign its interest in this Agreement, and sublease the Project, in whole or in part; provided, however, no assignment or sublease (other than pursuant to Section 8.02 hereof) shall relieve the Company from primary liability for any of its obligations hereunder, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of any such assignment or sublease, the Company shall continue to remain primarily liable for its payments specified herein and for performance and observance of the other covenants and agreements on its part herein provided; and further provided that no assignment or sublease shall be effective unless there is delivered a Favorable Opinion with respect to such assignment or sublease. The Company shall, on or prior to the effective date of any such assignment or sublease, furnish or cause to be furnished to the Issuer and the Trustee notice of such assignment or sublease, together with the referenced Favorable Opinion, and a true and complete copy of each assignment or sublease, as the case may be.

Section 11.05. Lease Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from the date hereof to and including June 1, 2023, or until all payments and indemnities required to be made by the Company pursuant hereto shall have been made, provided that this Agreement may be terminated, subject to the provisions of Section 8.03(e) hereof, prior to such date if the Company shall exercise its option or be obligated to purchase the Project pursuant to this Agreement.

At the closing of the foregoing purchase, the Issuer shall deliver to the Company the documents referred to in Section 9.03 hereof. The right to purchase granted in this Section shall be and remain prior and superior to the Indenture and may be exercised whether or not the Company is in default hereunder, provided that no such default will result in nonfulfillment of any condition to this right.
