exchange of the cost of printing new Certificates and of any tax, fee or
other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange.
Section 2.9 Temporary Certificates.
Pending
preparation of the definitive Certificates, any Certificates delivered under
this Trust Agreement may be initially delivered in temporary form
exchangeable for definitive Certificates when ready for delivery. The
temporary Certificate may be printed, lithographed or typewritten and may
contain such reference to any of the provisions of this Trust Agreement as
may be appropriate. Every temporary Certificate shall be executed and
delivered by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner as the definitive Certificates. If the Trustee delivers
temporary Certificates, it shall execute and furnish definitive Certificates
without delay. Thereupon, the temporary Certificates shall be surrendered
for cancellation at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and the Trustee
shall deliver in exchange for such temporary Certificates an equal aggregate
Principal amount of definitive Certificates of the same maturity. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Certificates shall be entitled to the same benefits
under this Trust Agreement as definitive Certificates delivered pursuant
thereto.
Section 2.10 Certificates Mutilated, Lost, Destroyed or Stolen.
If any Certificate shall become mutilated, at the written request
and expense of the Holder of said Certificate, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to such Holder a new Certificate of like tenor and number, in
exchange and substitution for the Certificate so mutilated, but only upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Certificate so mutilated. Every mutilated
Certificate so surrendered to the Trustee shall be canceled by it and
destroyed. If any Certificate shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence
of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted by the Certificate Holder
or his, her or its duly authorized agent to the Trustee, and, if such
evidence is satisfactory to the Trustee and if an indemnity satisfactory to
the Trustee and the Company shall be given, at the expense of the Certificate
Holder, the Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Certificate Holder a new
Certificate of like tenor and numbered as the Trustee shall determine in lieu
of and in substitution for the Certificate so lost, destroyed or stolen. In
addition to the transfer fee provided for by Section 2.13 hereof, the Trustee
may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing and
executing each new Certificate issued under this Section and of the expenses
incurred by the Company and the Trustee hereunder. Any Certificate issued
under the provisions of this Section 2.10 in lieu of any Certificate alleged
to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall be equally and proportionately entitled
to the benefit of this Trust Agreement. The Trustee shall not treat both the
original Certificate and any replacement Certificate as being Outstanding for
the purpose of determining the amount of Certificates which may be issued
hereunder or for the purpose of determining any percentage of Certificates
Outstanding hereunder, but both the original and replacement Certificate
shall be treated as one and the same.
Section 2.11 Place of Payment.
The Trustee is hereby appointed paying agent for the Certificates.
Principal and Interest with respect to the Certificates, except for the final
payment, shall be payable when due by check or draft of the Trustee mailed to
the Holder of record of such Certificate, as of the Record Date at the address
shown on the Certificate Register. Upon the written request of any Holder of
Certificates having an aggregate Principal value of $1,000,000 or more,
payments of Principal and Interest with respect to the Certificates shall be
wire transferred to an account designated by such Holder, provided that the
Trustee shall have received written instructions regarding such wire transfer
on or before the ESPC Task Order Payment Date next preceding the date of
payment of such Principal and Interest. The final payment with respect to
each Certificate shall be payable at the Principal Office of the Trustee upon
surrender of the Certificate.
Section 2.12 Evidence of Signatures of Certificate Holders and
Ownership of Certificates.
Any request, direction, consent, revocation of consent, or other instrument in
writing required or permitted by this Trust Agreement to be signed or executed
by Certificate Holders may be in any number of concurrent instruments of
similar tenor, and may be signed or executed by such Certificate Holders in
person or by their attorney-in-fact or agents duly appointed by an instrument
in writing for that purpose. Proof of the execution of any such instrument,
or of any instrument appointing any such attorney or agent, and of the
ownership of Certificates shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Trust
Agreement if made in the following manner:
(a) The fact and date of execution by any Certificate Holder or such
Holder's attorney or agent of any such instrument and of any instrument
appointing any such attorney or agent, may be proved by a certificate, which
need not be acknowledged or verified, of an officer of any bank or trust
company located within the United States of America, or of any notary public,
or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded
in such jurisdictions that the person signing such instrument acknowledged
before him or her the execution thereof. Where any such instrument is
executed by an officer on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such
certificate shall also constitute sufficient proof of such person's
authority.
(b) The ownership of Certificates shall be proved in accordance with
the Certificate Register maintained by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.6
hereof. Nothing contained in this Section 2.12 shall be construed as
limiting the Trustee to such proof, it being intended that the Trustee may
accept any other evidence of the matters herein stated which may seem
sufficient to the Trustee. Any request or consent of the Holder of any
Certificate shall bind every future Certificate Holder of the same
Certificate in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Company
or the Trustee in pursuance of such request or consent.
Section 2.13 Transfer Fee.
The Trustee may charge a reasonable fee in accordance with its usual fee
schedule for each Certificate delivered on the transfer or exchange of
Certificates or in replacement of a Certificate mutilated, lost, destroyed
or stolen.
Section 2.14 Book Entry.
(a) If requested by the original beneficial owners of the Certificates,
except as provided in Section 2.14(c) hereof, all the Outstanding Certificates
shall be represented by a single Global Certificate to permit the book-entry
transfer of the Certificates. The registered Holder of such Global Certificate
shall be the Depositary (or its nominee). Payment of Interest and/or Principal
for such Global Certificate registered in the name of the Depositary (or its
nominee) shall be made to the account of the Depositary (or its nominee) on the
Payment Date for the Certificates at the address indicated for the Depositary
(or its nominee) in the Certificate Register. The "Certificates" referred to
in this Section 2.14(a) shall refer to such book-entry Certificates.
(b) If an election under Section 2.14(a) is made, the Certificates
shall be initially issued in the form of a single, authenticated, fully-
registered Global Certificate. Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such
Global Certificate shall be registered in the Certificate Register in the
name of the Depositary (or its nominee). The Trustee and the Company may
treat the Depositary (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive owner of the
Certificates registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the
Principal or Redemption Price of or Interest on the Certificates, selecting
the Certificates or portions thereof to be redeemed, giving any notice
permitted or required to be given to Certificate Holders hereunder,
registering the transfer of Certificates, obtaining any consent or other
action to be taken by Certificate Holders and for all other purposes
whatsoever; and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner or any other person
claiming a beneficial ownership interest in the Certificates under or through
the Depositary, or any other person which is not shown on the Certificate
Register as being a Certificate Holder, with respect to the accuracy of any
records maintained by the Depositary; the payment to the Depositary of any
amount in respect of the Principal or Redemption Price of or Interest on the
Certificates; any notice which is permitted or required to be given to
Certificate Holders hereunder; the selection by the Depositary of any person
to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Certificates;
or any consent given or other action taken by the Depositary as Certificate
Holder. The Trustee shall pay all Principal and Redemption Price of, and
Interest on, the Certificates only to or "upon the order of" the Depositary
(as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in the State
of New York), and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully
satisfy and discharge the Trustee's obligations with respect to the Principal
or Redemption Price of, and Interest on, the Certificates to the extent of
the sum or sums so paid. Except as provided in Section 2.14(c) hereof, no
person other than the Depositary shall receive an authenticated Certificate
evidencing the obligation of the Company to make payments of Principal or
Redemption Price and Interest pursuant to this Trust Agreement. Upon
delivery by the Depositary to the Trustee of written notice to the effect
that the Depositary has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of
the Depositary or its original nominee, the Global Certificate will be
transferable to such new nominee in accordance with Section 2.14(f) hereof.
(c) In the event the Company determines that it is in the best Interest
of the Company not to continue the book-entry system of transfer or that the
Interest of the beneficial owners of the Certificates might be adversely
affected if the book-entry system of transfer is continued, the Company may
notify the Depositary and the Trustee, whereupon the Depositary will notify
the beneficial owners of the availability through the Depositary of
registered Certificates evidencing such beneficial owners' respective
ownership of the Certificates. In such event, the Trustee shall issue,
transfer and exchange Certificates evidencing the Certificates as requested
by the Depositary and any beneficial owner in appropriate amounts in
accordance with Section 2.14(f) hereof. The Depositary may determine to
discontinue providing its services with respect to the Certificates at any
time by giving notice to the Company and the Trustee and discharging its
responsibilities with respect thereto under applicable law, or the Company
may determine that the Depositary is incapable of discharging its
responsibilities and may so advise the Depositary. In either such event, the
Company shall either establish its own book-entry system or use reasonable
efforts to locate a successor Depositary. Under such circumstances (if there
is no successor Depositary), the Company and the Trustee shall be obligated
to deliver Certificates evidencing the Certificates as described in the Trust
Agreement and in accordance with Section 2.14(f) hereof. In the event
Certificates evidencing the Certificates are issued, the provisions of the
Trust Agreement shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange
of such Certificates evidencing the Certificates and the method of payment of
Principal or Redemption Price of, and Interest on, such Certificates
evidencing the Certificates. Whenever the Depositary requests the Company
and the Trustee to do so, the Trustee and the Company will cooperate with the
Depositary in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice (i) to make
available one or more separate Certificates evidencing the Certificates to
any beneficial owner having Certificates credited to its account with the
Depositary or (ii) to arrange for a successor Depositary to maintain custody
of a Global Certificate evidencing the Certificates.
(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Trust Agreement to the
contrary, so long as the Global Certificate is registered in the name of the
Depositary (or its nominee), all payments with respect to the Principal or
Redemption Price of, and Interest on, such Global Certificate and all notices
with respect to such Global Certificate shall be made and given,
respectively, to the Depositary as provided in the representation letter
between the Depositary, the Company and the Trustee.
(e) In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided
to Certificate Holders pursuant to the Trust Agreement by the Company or the
Trustee or with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by
Certificate Holders, the Company or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall
establish a record date for such consent or other action and give the
Depositary notice of such record date not less than 15 days in advance of
such record date to the extent possible.
(f) In the event that any transfer or exchange of Certificates is
permitted under Section 2.14 (b) or (c) hereof, such transfer or exchange
shall be accomplished upon receipt by the Trustee from the registered Holder
thereof of the Global Certificate to be transferred or exchanged and
appropriate instruments of transfer to the permitted transferee, all in
accordance with the applicable provisions of the Trust Agreement. In the
event Certificates evidencing the Certificates are issued to owners other
than the Depositary (or its nominee), as Holder of the Global Certificate
representing all the Certificates, or a successor Depositary as Holder of the
Global Certificate representing all the Certificates, the provisions of the
Trust Agreement shall also apply to, among other things, the printing of such
Certificates evidencing the Certificates and the methods of payment of
Principal or Redemption Price of, and Interest on, such Certificates
evidencing the Certificates.

Energy Cost Savings Measures, as the case may be;

such terms are used and defined in the ESPC Contract and ESPC Task
Order), in an amount sufficient to maintain a minimum projected debt
service coverage equal to 1.19 times during the remaining term of the
Certificates, including the Additional Certificates proposed for
issuance; or (2) in the absence of a Task Order modification satisfying
the requirements set forth in the foregoing clause (1) of this Section
2.15(b)(B), the issuance of Additional Certificates shall be approved by
a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Certificates then
Outstanding;
(C) The Company shall certify in an Authorized Officer's
certificate to the Trustee that, after giving effect to the issuance of
the Additional Certificates, no Event of Default shall have occurred
which shall be continuing;

investment trust status of the Trust created hereby for federal income
tax purposes.
Section 2.16 Termination of Trust.
If and when the Certificates shall have become due and payable in accordance
with their respective terms, and the whole amount of the Principal and the
Interest so due and payable upon all of the Certificates and all amounts due
the Trustee shall be paid and all administrative expenses hereunder have been
paid or provided for, then the Trustee shall assign, without recourse, and

foregoing) then held by the Trustee (including all balances and any fund or
account created under this Trust Agreement), shall assign or cause to be
assigned to the Company (or its designee), without recourse, all documents
relating to the ESPC Project to which documents the Trustee is a party and

required by the Company in this regard, all to the extent permitted by
applicable law, and thereafter neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have
any further obligations under this Trust Agreement.

Section 4.12 Rights and Remedies of Certificate Holders.
Each Holder shall have the absolute and unconditional right to receive
payment of all amounts due on any Certificate held thereby and to institute
suit against the Government for the enforcement of any such payment, such
right not to be impaired without the consent of such Holder. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Holder of any Certificate shall have any right to institute
any suit, action or proceeding for the enforcement of this Trust Agreement,
for the execution of any trust thereof or any other remedy thereunder, unless
(i) an Event of Default under Section 4.1 hereof has occurred; (ii) the
Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate Principal of
Certificates then Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee
and shall have offered the Trustee reasonable opportunity either to proceed
to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name; (iii) such Holders have offered the Trustee
indemnification in a manner satisfactory to it for any liability and expense
either of them might incur in carrying out the aforementioned request; and
(iv) the Trustee shall thereafter fail or refuse to exercise the powers
herein before granted, or to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its, his or their own name or names. Such request and offer of indemnity are
hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions
precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts of this Trust Agreement,
and to the initiation of any action or cause of action for the enforcement of
this Trust Agreement; provided, however, that the Trustee may not, as
condition precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts hereunder,
request indemnification for liability arising out of the Trustee's grossly
negligent or willful action, misconduct or failure to act, it being
understood and intended that no one or more of the Holders of the
Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect, disturb
or prejudice the lien of this Trust Agreement by its, his or their action or
to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner provided herein, and that
proceedings shall be instituted, had and maintained in the manner provided
herein, and for the ratable benefit (based on the then outstanding Principal
amount of each Certificate) of the Holders of all Certificates then
Outstanding. Nothing in this Trust Agreement shall, however, affect or
impair the right of any Certificate Holder to enforce the payment of the
Principal of and Interest on any Certificate at and after the maturity
thereof, or the obligation of the Trustee to pay the Principal, and Interest
on each of the Certificates issued hereunder to the respective Holders
thereof at the time and place and from the source and in the manner provided
in said Certificates.
Section 4.13 Termination of Proceedings.

any reason, or shall have been determined adversely then and in every such case
the Company, the Trustee and the Certificate Holders shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and

otherwise. The Trustee may exercise all or any of the powers, rights or
remedies given to it hereunder or which may now or hereafter be given by
statute, law or equity or otherwise, in its absolute discretion. No course
of dealing between the Company and the Trustee or the Certificate Holders, or
any delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder to exercise any right,
remedy or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right, remedy or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event
of Default or of any right of the Trustee or of the Certificate Holders or
acquiescence therein, and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.9, every
right, remedy and power given by this Article to the Trustee or to the
Certificate Holders may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be

ARTICLE V
REDEMPTION
Section 5.
Section 5.1 Optional Redemption.
The Certificates are subject to redemption before their stated maturity,
in whole, at the option of the Company, on any date after the first anniversary
ofthe Closing Date, at a Redemption Price equal to the Principal amount thereof
Outstanding, together with accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for
redemption, and the Make-Whole Premium (as defined below). The Company shall
give written notice to the Trustee of its election to optionally redeem
Certificates, including the date fixed for redemption. Such notice shall be
given to the Trustee at least sixty (60) days prior to the specified redemption
date, or such shorter period as shall be acceptable to the Trustee:
For purposes of this Section 5.1, the term "Make-Whole Premium" shall
mean the excess, if any, of (i) the aggregate present value, as of the
Redemption Date for an optional redemption permitted hereunder, of each
dollar of Principal being redeemed and the amount of Interest (exclusive of
Interest accrued to the Redemption Date) that would have been payable in
respect of such dollar if such redemption had not been made, determined by
discounting such amounts at the Reinvestment Rate (as defined below) from the
respective dates on which they would have been payable, over (ii) 100% of the
Principal amount of the Outstanding Certificates being redeemed. If the
Reinvestment Rate is equal to or greater than 7.625%, the Make-Whole Premium
shall be zero.
"Reinvestment Rate" shall mean the sum of (i) 0.25% plus (ii) the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings "This Week" and
"Last Week" published in the Statistical Release (as defined below) under the
caption "Treasury Constant Maturities" for the maturity corresponding to the
remaining term of the Certificates (rounded to the nearest month). If no
maturity exactly corresponds to such remaining term of the Certificates,
yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such
remaining term of the Certificates shall be calculated pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be
interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis,
rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month. For the
purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical
Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole
Premium hereunder shall be used.
"Statistical Release" shall mean the statistical release designated
"H.15(519)" or any successor publication which is published weekly by the
Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded U.S.
Government Securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination hereunder, then
such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the
Holders of a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Outstanding
Certificates.
Section 5.2 Extraordinary Redemption in Whole.
Event of Default occurs and the Trustee has, pursuant to Section 4.2
hereof, accelerated the Certificates, the Certificates shall be redeemed in
whole at the Redemption Price equal to the Principal amount thereof
Outstanding, with all accrued Interest thereon. Such redemption shall be made
on a Redemption Date which shall be the date thirty (30) days after the date
on which the Trustee shall have given the declaration of acceleration pursuant
to Section 4.2 hereof (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding
Business Day). If on such Redemption Date there are not sufficient monies
available in the Trust Fund to pay in full the Interest accrued to the
Redemption Date and the Principal amount of Certificates then Outstanding,
the Trustee shall apply available monies first to the payment of Interest
accrued to such Redemption Date with respect to the Certificates pro rata, if
necessary, according to the total Interest so accrued, and second to the
payment of Principal with respect to the Certificates, pro rata, if necessary
according to the total Principal amount thereof then Outstanding.
Section 5.3 Mandatory Redemption.
(a) The Trustee shall be required to redeem the Certificates in whole, or
in part, at the Redemption Price equal to the Principal amount thereof
Outstanding, together with all accrued Interest thereon through the Redemption
Date and with the Government Termination Redemption Premium, if the Company or
the Government advises the Trustee that the Government is exercising its right
to terminate the ESPC Task Order, in whole or in part, pursuant to the
"termination for convenience of the Government" right contained therein.
(b) The Trustee shall be required to redeem Certificates, in whole or
in part, at the Redemption Price equal to the Principal amount thereof
Outstanding, with all accrued Interest thereon through the Redemption Date,
if the Company advises the Trustee that the ESPC Project has been damaged or
destroyed by fire or other casualty, or becomes subject to condemnation or
taking by eminent domain, and the available insurance or condemnation
proceeds are to be applied in redemption of Certificates pursuant to the
requirements of Sections 7.20(g) or (h) hereof.
(c) If Certificates are to be redeemed in part pursuant to
Section 5.3(a) hereof, the Principal amount of such Certificates to be
redeemed shall be an amount equal to the principal portion of the termination
payment proceeds. If Certificates are to be redeemed in part pursuant to
Section 5.3(b) hereof, the Principal amount of such Certificates to be
redeemed shall be equal to the amount of available insurance or condemnation
proceedings received.
(d) Any redemption pursuant to Section 5.3(a) or 5.3(b) hereof shall be
made on a Redemption Date which shall be the date thirty (30) days after the
date on which the available termination payment proceeds received in
connection with a Section 5.3(a) event, or the available casualty or
condemnation proceeds received in connection with a Section 5.3(b) event, are
received by the Trustee (or if such day is not a Business Day, the preceding
Business Day).
Section 5.4 Partial Redemption Procedure.
In the event of a partial redemption of Certificates pursuant to Section 5.3
hereof, the Certificates to be redeemed shall be redeemed on a reasonably
proportionate basis, such basis to be determined and effectuated as nearly as
practicable by the Trustee, utilizing the ratio described in the final
sentence of Section 2.4(a) hereof. Certificates will be redeemable only in
multiples of $1,000, provided that the Trustee shall, to the extent
practicable, endeavor to maintain minimum denominations of $100,000. In the
case of any Certificate in a denomination greater than $1,000, the Trustee
shall treat each such Certificate as representing such number of separate
certificates each of the denomination of $1,000 as is obtained by dividing
the actual Principal amount of such Certificate by $1,000.
Section 5.5 Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
mailed not less than 15 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to
each Holder of Certificates to be redeemed, at the address appearing in the
Certificate Register. All notices of redemption shall state:
(a) the Redemption Date,
(b) the Redemption Price,
(c) if fewer than all Outstanding Certificates of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
respective Principal amounts) of the particular Certificates, including the
series and the stated maturity of Principal of such Certificates, to be
redeemed,
(d) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due
and payable upon each such Certificate, and that Interest thereon shall cease
to accrue from and after said date, and
(e) the place where such Certificates are to be surrendered for payment
of the Redemption Price.
Notice of redemption of Certificates to be redeemed shall be given by
the Trustee in the name of the Company.
Section 5.6 Certificates Payable on Redemption Date.
Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Certificates to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless
there shall be a default in the payment of the Redemption Price) such
Certificates shall cease to bear Interest. Upon surrender of such
Certificates for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Certificates
shall be paid at the Redemption Price, exclusive, however, of installments of
Interest maturing on or prior to the Redemption Date, payment of which shall
have been made or duly provided for to the Holders of such Notes registered
as such on the relevant Record Dates, or otherwise, according to their terms.
If any Certificate called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the Principal (and premium, if any) shall,
until paid, continue to bear Interest from the Redemption Date at the Default
Rate.
Section 5.7 Certificates Redeemed in Part.
Any Certificate which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at the Principal Office of the Trustee (with due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Trustee shall execute and deliver to the Holder of such Certificate a new
Certificate or Certificates of the same series and the same stated maturity
of Principal, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in
aggregate Principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the Principal of the Certificate so surrendered.

(i) Insurance against loss or damage to the ESPC Project by fire,

for "personal injury" including, without limitation, bodily injury,
death or property damage occurring on, in or about the ESPC Project and

insurance shall contain a waiver of coinsurance endorsement;

hereof shall contain a standard non-contributory negligence endorsement
providing an agreement by the insurer that any loss shall be payable in
accordance with the terms of such policy notwithstanding any act or
negligence of the Company or the Contractor which might otherwise result in
forfeiture of such insurance and the further agreement of the insurer waiving
all rights of set-off, counterclaim or deductions against the Company or the

written notice to the Trustee and at no time shall there be any reduction in
the scope or limits of coverage. If the insurance, or any part thereof,
shall expire, or be withdrawn, or become void for any reason, the Company
shall immediately upon learning of such expiration or termination place new
insurance on the ESPC Project meeting the requirements of Section 7.17(a)
hereof.
(d) In the event the Company fails to provide, maintain, keep in force

provisions of this Trust Agreement, except for monies in the Certificate
Payment Account, the Debt Service Reserve Account or otherwise held
specifically for payment to Certificate Holders under the terms of this Trust
Agreement.
(e) All proceeds of insurance shall be payable to the Trustee and the

any claims for loss, damage or destruction in excess of $50,000 under any
policy or policies of insurance. Each insurance company concerned is hereby

(a) The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee if any of the Pledged

providing property and casualty insurance with respect to the ESPC Project.
If the Company fails to notify the Trustee that it has filed such claims
within ten (10) Business Days after the Trustee's receipt of notice as to the
damage or destruction, the Trustee shall promptly file the required claims
with respect to such Pledged Property. With respect to any condemnation or
taking event, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive all compensation,
damages, awards and other payments or relief therefor, or accruing as a
result thereof, and shall be entitled, at its option to participate in any
such action or proceedings. No award, settlement or compromise of any claim,
action or proceeding arising as a result of a condemnation or taking event
shall be made or accepted without the written consent of the Trustee.
(c) If prior to the date of Acceptance of the ESPC Project, the Company
or the Trustee receives any amount in respect of (i) any insurance proceeds
as a result of any loss or damage to any Pledged Property or (ii) any
condemnation proceeds as a result of any condemnation or taking by eminent
domain of any Pledged Property, the amount of such insurance proceeds or

to the Company or the Trustee of such recovery, shall be deposited in the
Construction Account and applied as provided in the Project Loan Agreement
and Section 3.2 hereof.

Company shall deliver to the Trustee written evidence reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee that the affected Pledged Property will be repaired or
replaced by the Company and stating the period required for such repair or
replacement (the "Reconstruction Period"). If the Company does not deliver
written notice of its ability to repair or replace the Pledged Property as
provided in the preceding sentence, or if, following such delivery, the
Company does not undertake to repair or replace the Pledged Property in a
timely fashion, the Trustee shall use its best efforts (i) to retain the
Contractor, or (ii) if the Contractor declines, to retain contractors of
recognized standing in the Tobyhanna, Pennsylvania area capable of repairing
or replacing the Pledged Property for an amount equal to or less than the
available insurance or condemnation proceeds, and the party so selected shall
establish the Reconstruction Period. The Trustee shall not be required to
expend any of its own funds pursuant to the foregoing sentence. The party
performing the work relating to the repair or replacement of Pledged Property
pursuant to this Section 7.20(d) is herein referred to as the "Reconstruction
Contractor".
(e) If the Company or the Trustee receives any amount in respect of (x)
any insurance proceeds as a result of any loss or damage to the Pledged
Property occurring after Acceptance or (y) any condemnation proceeds as a
result of any condemnation or taking by eminent domain of the Pledged
Property occurring after Acceptance, then in each such case, the Trustee
shall retain the Independent Engineer to perform the actions described in
this Section 7.20, and the amount of such insurance proceeds or condemnation
proceeds, as the case may be, less the reasonable costs, if any, to the
Company or the Trustee of such recovery and of paying out such proceeds
(including reasonable attorneys' fees and costs allocable to inspecting the
Reconstruction Work (as defined below) and the plans and specifications
therefor) shall be deposited and held hereunder in the Capital Proceeds
Account, and shall be remitted to the Reconstruction Contractor from time to
time as the Reconstruction Work progresses and shall be applied by the
Reconstruction Contractor to the payment of the cost of repairing, restoring
or rebuilding the portion of the Pledged Property so taken, damaged or
destroyed (the "Reconstruction Work"), such remittance to be subject to
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) The amount of the insurance or condemnation proceeds (together
with all ESPC Task Order Payments reasonably expected to be available
to the Company or such other cash, letters of credit or cash equivalents
deposited by the Company with the Trustee) must be sufficient, in the
opinion of the Independent Engineer, to repair, restore or rebuild the
Pledged Property so as to restore the ESPC Project to substantially the
same level of operation as immediately prior to the casualty or
condemnation, to pay or perform all operation and maintenance expenses
and obligations to be paid or performed by the Company under the ESPC
Task Order, if any, and to pay all payments of Interest and Principal on
the Certificates coming due during the period of time required to
repair, restore or rebuild the Pledged Property during the
Reconstruction Period;
(ii) Each request for payment shall be made on ten (10) days' prior
written notice to the Trustee and shall be accompanied by a certificate
to be made by an authorized officer of the Reconstruction Contractor,
stating that (A) all of the Reconstruction Work completed has been done
substantially in compliance with the approved plans and specifications,
if any, (B) the sum requested is required to pay, or to reimburse the
Reconstruction Contractor for, the cost incurred in connection with such
Reconstruction Work (giving a brief description of the services and
materials provided in connection with such Reconstruction Work), (C) the
sum requested, when added to all proceeds previously paid out by the
Trustee, does not exceed the value of the Reconstruction Work done as of
the date of such certificate and (D) the amount of such proceeds
remaining in the hands of, or to be paid to, the Trustee, together with
other amounts available to the Reconstruction Contractor (in the opinion
of the party furnishing the certificate), will be sufficient on
completion of the Reconstruction Work to pay for the same in full,
together with operation and maintenance expenses and indebtedness on the
Certificates during the remaining period of time to repair, restore or
rebuild such Pledged Property (giving, in such reasonable detail as the
Trustee may require, an estimate of the cost of such completion);
(iii) Each request shall be accompanied by waivers of liens
(conditional as to the current request and unconditional as to prior
requests) reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee covering that part of
the Reconstruction Work for which payment or reimbursement is being
requested;
(iv) The ESPC Task Order shall not have been modified, canceled or
terminated by the Government with respect to the Pledged Property
requiring the Reconstruction Work; and
(v) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
hereunder.
(f) After completion of the Reconstruction Work relating to any portion
of the Pledged Property for which the Trustee has received any insurance or
condemnation proceeds pursuant to Section 7.20(e) hereof, and payment of all
costs thereof, any such remaining funds held by the Trustee in the Capital
Proceeds Account shall be transferred to the Company Account upon
satisfaction of each of the following conditions:

reasonably satisfactory to it covering all such Reconstruction Work, and
evidence satisfactory to it that there has not been filed with respect
to the ESPC Project any lien in respect of any part of the

terminated by the Government with respect to the Pledged Property
requiring the Reconstruction Work and the Government shall have resumed
making full ESPC Task Order Payments;

on deposit in the Capitalized Debt Service Account, the Debt Service
Reserve Account, the Certificate Payment Account or the Capital Repair
and Replacement Account; and
(iv) No Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
hereunder.
(g) If (i) the Company or the Trustee is unable to retain a
Reconstruction Contractor to perform the Reconstruction Work as contemplated
by Sections 7.20(d) and 7.20(e) hereof, or it is determined that the proceeds
and other amounts available are insufficient to pay the amounts called for by
Section 7.20(e)(i) hereof or, (ii) the Government terminates the ESPC Task
Order in whole or with respect to the portion of the Pledged Property subject
to damage, destruction or taking, then, to the extent that the available
insurance or condemnation proceeds shall not otherwise have been disbursed as
aforesaid to the Reconstruction Contractor, the Trustee shall transfer such
proceeds to the Certificate Payment Account to redeem Certificates in
accordance with Section 5.3(b) hereof.
(h) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 7.20 or the
Trust Agreement, in the event of a taking or condemnation of all or
substantially all of the Pledged Property, the proceeds received by the
Company or the Trustee shall be deposited to the Certificate Payment Account
to redeem Certificates in accordance with Section 5.3(b) hereof.

If and to the extent that the Company and the Trustee shall become the
Debtor and Secured Party respectively in any Uniform Commercial Code financing

perfection of, the Trustee's security interest in any Pledged Property, and

treat the registered Holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all
purposes, and the Trustee shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

Trust Agreement and the ESPC Task Order not prejudicial to the Holders to be
made without the consent of or notice to the Holders, certain other
amendments or supplements thereto to be made with the consent of the Holders

with respect to the payment, when due, of ESPC Task Order Payments by the

qualified Depositary at its option or in the event the Depositary
discontinues the maintenance of the Certificates under a book-entry only
system in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

system maintained by a Depositary, the manner, timing and method of payment
of the Principal or Redemption Price of and Interest on the Certificates, the
manner, timing and method of disseminating notices to the registered owners
of the Certificates and the selection of Certificates or portions thereof to
be redeemed shall be governed by agreement between the Trustee and the
Depositary, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this
Certificate.

Trust Agreement and the ESPC Task Order not prejudicial to the Holders to be
made without the consent of or notice to the Holders, certain other
amendments or supplements thereto to be made with the consent of the Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate Principal amount of the Certificates
then outstanding, and other amendments or supplements thereto to be made only
with the consent of all the Holders.

the payment of the Certificates; the Trustee's sole obligation is to
administer, for the benefit of the Company and the Holders, the Trust Fund
and accounts established in the Trust Agreement. The Trustee has no
obligation to pay any portion of the Interest or Principal pertaining to the
