"Weekly Rate", "Monthly Rate" or "____% Term Rate for Term Rate Period ending
________, ___", respectively.
(b)
The 2008A
Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile
signature of its Chairman, Executive Director, or the Deputy Secretary for
Business Assistance, Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic
Development (the "Deputy Secretary") and attested by the manual or facsimile
signature of its Assistant Secretary, and shall have impressed or imprinted
thereon the official seal of the Issuer or a facsimile thereof. All
authorized facsimile signatures shall have the same force and effect as if
manually signed. In case any official whose signature or a facsimile
of whose signature shall appear on the 2008A Bonds shall cease to be such
official before the delivery of such 2008A Bonds, such signature or such
facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same
as if such official had remained in office until delivery.
(c)
The 2008A
Bonds shall be equally and ratably secured under the Indenture, except as
otherwise expressly provided herein. The 2008A Bonds, together with
premium, if any, and interest thereon, shall be special, limited obligations of
the Issuer secured by the Trust Estate and payable solely from the Revenues
(except to the extent paid out of moneys attributable to the 2008A Bond proceeds
or the income from the temporary investment thereof) and shall be a valid claim
of the respective owners thereof only against the funds (except the Rebate Fund)
and accounts established hereunder and other moneys held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent and the Revenues, which Revenues shall be used for no other purpose
than to pay the principal and purchase price of, and premium, if any, and
interest on, the 2008A Bonds, except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in
this Indenture.
The
2008A Bonds are limited obligations of the Issuer and are payable solely from
amounts drawn under the Letter of Credit. Neither the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania nor any political subdivision thereof is or shall be obligated to
pay the principal or purchase price of or premium, if any, or interest on the
2008A Bonds, and the 2008A Bonds shall not be deemed an obligation of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any political subdivision
thereof. Neither the faith and credit nor the taxing power of the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania or any political subdivision thereof is pledged to
the payment of the principal or purchase price of or premium
,
if any, or the interest on the 2008A
Bonds. The Issuer has no taxing power.
All
covenants, promises, agreements, duties and obligations of the Issuer set forth
in the Financing Documents shall be solely the covenants, promises, agreements,
duties and obligations of the Issuer and shall not be deemed to be, or be, the
covenants, promises, agreements, duties or obligations of any member, officer,
employee or agent of the Issuer or the Commonwealth in his or her individual
capacity, and no recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of, or
interest on the 2008A Bonds or any other amount payable hereunder or in
connection herewith, or for any claim based hereon or on the 2008A Bonds or the
Loan Agreement, against any such member, officer, employee or agent in his or
her individual capacity.
Section
2.6.
Authentication
.
No 2008A
Bonds shall be valid for any purpose hereunder until the certificate of
authentication printed thereon is duly executed by the manual signature of an
authorized signatory of the Trustee, acting as authenticating
agent. Such authentication or registration shall be proof that the
Registered Owner is entitled to the benefit of the trusts hereby
created. The certificate of the Trustee may be executed by any person
authorized by the Trustee, and it shall not be necessary that the same
authorized person sign the certificates of authentication of all 2008A
Bonds.
Any 2008A
Bond authenticated and delivered after the last Interest Payment Date preceding
the termination of a Letter of Credit Facility shall have noted on the face
thereof that the Letter of Credit Facility has expired and no longer supports
payment of such 2008A Bond and any other information which the Issuer deems
appropriate, unless an Alternate Credit Facility meeting the requirements of
Section 2C.7 has been delivered in respect of such 2008A Bond.
Section
2.7.
Registration, Transfer and
Exchange

(a)
The
ownership of each 2008A Bond shall be recorded in the registration books of the
Issuer which shall be kept by the Trustee (the "Bond Register"), acting as Bond
registrar, at its designated corporate trust operations office and shall contain
such information as is necessary for the proper discharge of the duties of the
Trustee hereunder.
(b)
2008A
Bonds may be transferred or exchanged as follows: Any 2008A Bond may

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the transferee a new 2008A Bond or
2008A Bonds in the same denominations as the 2008A Bond surrendered for transfer
or in different Authorized Denominations equal in the aggregate to the principal
amount of the surrendered 2008A Bond.
(i)
Any 2008A
Bond or 2008A Bonds may be exchanged for one or more 2008A Bonds and in the same
principal amount, but in a different Authorized Denomination or Authorized
Denominations. Each 2008A Bond so to be exchanged shall be
surrendered by the Registered Owner thereof or his duly appointed attorney to
the Trustee at its designated corporate trust operations office, whereupon a new
2008A Bond or 2008A Bonds shall be authenticated and delivered to the Registered
Owner.
(ii)
In the
case of any 2008A Bond properly surrendered for partial redemption, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver a new 2008A Bond in exchange therefor, such new
2008A Bond to be in an Authorized Denomination equal to the unredeemed principal
amount of the surrendered 2008A Bond without cost to the Owner; provided that,
at its option, the Trustee may certify the amount and date of partial
redemption upon the partial redemption certificate, if any, printed
on the surrendered 2008A Bond and return such surrendered 2008A Bond to the
Registered Owner in lieu of an exchange.
(iii)
No
additional resolutions need be adopted by the governing body of the Issuer or
any other body or person so as to accomplish the foregoing conversion and
exchange or replacement of any 2008A Bond or portion thereof, and the Trustee
shall provide for the completion, authentication, and delivery of the substitute
2008A Bonds in the manner prescribed herein.
Except as
provided in subparagraph (iii) above, the Trustee shall not be required to
effect any transfer or exchange during the fifteen (15) days immediately
preceding the date of mailing of any notice of redemption or at any time
following the mailing of any such notice in the case of 2008A Bonds selected for
such redemption. No charge shall be imposed upon Registered Owners in connection
with any transfer or exchange, except for taxes or governmental charges related
thereto. No transfers or exchanges shall be valid for any purposes
hereunder except as provided above.

compliance with the foregoing, a new 2008A Bond of like tenor and denomination,
executed by the Issuer, shall be authenticated by the Trustee and delivered to
the Registered Owner, all at the expense of the Registered Owner to whom the
substitute 2008A Bond is delivered. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate and deliver any substitute for
a 2008A Bond which has been called for redemption or which has matured or is
about to mature and, in any such case, the principal or redemption price then
due or becoming due shall be paid by the Trustee in accordance with the terms of
the mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed 2008A Bond without substitution
therefor.
(b)
Every
2008A Bond issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall constitute an
additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the 2008A Bond
alleged to have been destroyed, lost or stolen shall be at any time enforceable
by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally
and proportionately with any and all other 2008A Bonds duly issued
hereunder.
(c)
All 2008A
Bonds shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of

to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each 2008A Bond delivered under

aforesaid, all 2008A Bonds at any time Outstanding hereunder shall have the same
right, lien and preference under and by virtue of this Indenture and shall all
be equally and ratably secured hereby with like effect as if they had all been

fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument may be
proved by acknowledgment before a notary public or other officer empowered to
take acknowledgments or by an affidavit of a witness to such
execution. Any action by the Registered Owner of any 2008A Bond shall

Book Entry
System
.

DTC will
act as Securities Depository for the 2008A Bonds. The 2008A Bonds
shall be initially issued in the form of a single fully registered 2008A Bond
registered in the name of Cede & Co. (DTC’s partnership
nominee). So long as Cede & Co. is the Registered Owner of the
2008A Bonds, as nominee of DTC, references herein to Registered Owners,
Bondholders or holders or Owners of the 2008A Bonds shall mean Cede & Co.
and shall not mean the beneficial owners of the 2008A Bonds.
(b)
The
ownership interest of each of the Beneficial Owners of the 2008A Bonds will be
recorded through the records of a DTC Participant. Transfers of
beneficial ownership interests in the 2008A Bonds which are registered in the
name of Cede & Co. will be accompanied by book entries made by DTC and, in
turn, by the DTC Participants who act on behalf of the Beneficial Owners of the
2008A Bonds.
(c)
With
respect to 2008A Bonds registered in the name of Cede & Co., DTC’s
partnership nominee, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or
obligation to any DTC Participant or to any person on behalf of whom such a DTC
Participant holds an interest in the 2008A Bonds, except as provided in this
Indenture. Without limiting the immediately preceding sentence, the
Issuer and the Trustee shall have no responsibility or obligation with respect
to (i) the accuracy of the records of DTC, Cede & Co. or any DTC
Participant with respect to any ownership interest in the 2008A Bonds,
(ii) the delivery to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a
Bondholder, as shown on the registration books, of any notice with respect to
the 2008A Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment
to any DTC Participant or any other person, other than a Registered Owner, as
shown in the registration books of any amount with respect to principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, the 2008A Bonds.
(d)
Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, the Issuer and the
Trustee shall be entitled to treat and consider the person in whose name each
2008A Bond is registered in the registration books as the absolute owner of such
2008A Bond for the purpose of payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest with respect to such 2008A Bond, for the purpose of giving notices of
redemption and other matters with respect to such 2008A Bond, for the purpose of
registering transfers with respect to such 2008A Bond, and for all other
purposes whatsoever. The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the 2008A Bonds only to or upon the order of the
respective owners, as shown in the registration books as provided in this
Indenture, or their respective attorneys duly authorized in writing, and all
such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on, the 2008A Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid.
(e)
No person
other than a Registered Owner, as shown in the registration books, shall receive
a 2008A Bond certificate evidencing the obligation of the Issuer to make
payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest, pursuant to this
Indenture.
(f)
Any
provision of this Indenture permitting or requiring the delivery of 2008A Bonds
shall, while the book-entry system is in effect, be satisfied by the notation on
the books of DTC or a DTC Participant, if applicable, of the transfer of the
Beneficial Owner’s interest in such 2008A Bond.
(g)
So long
as the book-entry system is in effect, the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply
with the terms of the Letter of Representations, a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit B and made a part hereof, or an alternate Letter of
Representations as required by DTC.
(h)
DTC may
determine to discontinue providing its service with respect to the 2008A Bonds
at any time by giving reasonable written notice and all relevant information on
the Beneficial Owners of the 2008A Bonds to the Issuer or the
Trustee. If there is no successor Securities Depository appointed by
the Issuer, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver 2008A Bonds to the
Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the
Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on
the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such
information. The Issuer, at the direction of the Company, may
determine not to continue participation in the system of book entry transfers
through DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) at any time by giving
reasonable written notice to DTC (or a successor Securities Depository) and the
Trustee. In such event, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the 2008A Bonds to the
Beneficial Owners thereof in accordance with the information respecting the
Beneficial Owners provided to the Trustee by DTC, but without any liability on
the part of the Issuer or the Trustee for the accuracy of such
information.
The
Chairman, Executive Director or Deputy Secretary of the Issuer is hereby
authorized to execute any additional Letter of Representations or similar
document necessary from time to time to continue or provide for the DTC
book-entry system.
(i)
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 2.13 are subject
to the provisions of Section 2B.5 hereof (relating to Pledged
Bonds).
Section
2.14.
Payments to Cede & Co.;
Payments to Beneficial Owners
.
(a)
Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as any 2008A Bond
is registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments
with respect to principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, such 2008A Bond
and all notices with respect to such 2008A Bond shall be made and given,
respectively, pursuant to DTC’s rules and procedures.
(b)
Payments
by the DTC Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing
instructions and customary practices, as is now the case with municipal
securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in
"street name," and will be the responsibility of such DTC Participant and not of
DTC, the Trustee or the Issuer, subject to any statutory and regulatory
requirements as may be in effect from time to time.

shall be fixed by the Company pursuant to Section 2A.5 as a term of two or more
Semiannual Periods constituting the nominal length of each Term Rate Period
thereafter until the date of a conversion to another Rate Mode. Each
Term Rate shall be determined by the Remarketing Agent on the Term Rate
Calculation Date as the lowest rate of interest which, in the judgment of the
Remarketing Agent taking into account Prevailing Market Conditions, would be
necessary to enable the Remarketing Agent to arrange for the sale of the 2008A
Bonds in the Term Mode in a secondary market sale at a price equal to the

Section 2A.5.
Conversion at Option of
Company
.
(a)
The
Company shall have the option to convert all (but not less than all) of the
2008A Bonds from one Rate Mode to another Rate Mode (including without
limitation a conversion from one Term Mode to another Term Mode) as herein
provided on any Conversion Date the Company shall select; provided that (i) each
Conversion Date shall be an Interest Payment Date and (ii) 2008A Bonds in a Term
Mode cannot be converted to another Rate Mode prior to the date on or after
which such 2008A Bonds may first be redeemed at the option of the Company at the
redemption price of par. The Company may exercise its option to
convert the 2008A Bonds regardless of the number of times such 2008A Bonds have
previously been converted pursuant to the exercise of its option to
convert. The Company shall exercise such option by giving written
notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Bank, and the
Paying Agent stating its election to convert the Rate Mode of the 2008A Bonds to
another Rate Mode specified in such notice and stating the Conversion Date
therefor, in the case of 2008A Bonds in the Daily Mode or Weekly Mode, not less
than 35 days, and in the case of 2008A Bonds in the Monthly Mode or Term Mode,
not less than 45 days, prior to such Conversion Date (or such shorter time as
may be agreed to by the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Remarketing Agent). Such notice also shall state whether or not the
2008A Bonds to be converted will be covered by a Letter of Credit Facility
following such conversion. Upon receipt of such notice by the
Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively assume that the Issuer, the Remarketing
Agent, the Bank, and the Paying Agent also received a copy of such notice and
that such condition has been complied with. In connection with each
conversion to a Term Mode, the Nominal Term Rate Period shall be selected by the
Company and designated in such notice.
(b)
The
exercise of an option to convert shall not be effective unless there shall have
been delivered to the Trustee:
(i)
an
opinion of Bond Counsel addressed to the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Issuer,
the Company, the Bank, and the Remarketing Agent stating that (i) such
conversion is authorized or permitted by this Indenture and the Act and (ii)
such conversion will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income of the
interest on the 2008A Bonds for federal income tax purposes, which opinion shall
be confirmed by such Bond Counsel on the Conversion Date;
(ii)
in the
case of a conversion to a Term Mode, if a Letter of Credit Facility is in
effect, unless the Company elects not to provide a Letter of Credit Facility for
the 2008A Bonds following the Conversion Date, an amendment to the Letter of
Credit Facility securing the 2008A Bonds to be converted or an Alternate Credit
Facility which provides for (i) an Expiration Date not earlier than the first to
occur of (A) the first anniversary of the Conversion Date or (B) the Term Rate
Period End Interest Payment Date of the first Term Rate Period following the
Conversion Date, and (ii) coverage of 193 days' accrued interest on the 2008A
Bonds at a rate not less than the interest rate at which the then current Letter
of Credit Facility for such 2008A Bonds provides coverage, subject to adjustment
on the Conversion Date to the actual Term Rate as the same shall be fixed
immediately prior to the Conversion Date (or evidence satisfactory to the
Trustee and the Bank that the current Letter of Credit Facility provides for
sufficient coverage without an amendment thereto);
(iii)
in the
case of a conversion to the Daily Mode, Weekly Mode or Monthly Mode if the 2008A
Bonds are covered by a Letter of Credit Facility, unless the Company elects not
to provide a Letter of Credit Facility for the 2008A Bonds following the
Conversion Date, an amendment to the Letter of Credit Facility or an Alternate
Credit Facility which provides for (i) an Expiration Date not earlier than one
year from the Conversion Date of such conversion and (ii) on and after such
Conversion Date, coverage for 47 days' accrued interest on the 2008A Bonds at a
maximum rate of 12% per annum (or evidence satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Bank that the current Letter of Credit Facility provides for sufficient coverage
without an amendment thereto); and
(iv)
in the
case of a conversion to a Term Mode, evidence that the Company has complied with
the continuing disclosure requirements of SEC Rule 15c2-12 or any successor rule
or statutory provision unless the Company provides the Trustee with an opinion
of Counsel to the effect that such compliance is not required.
(c)
In the
case of any conversion, the Trustee shall give notice by first class mail
(postage prepaid) to the Owners of the 2008A Bonds being converted, in the case
of 2008A Bonds in the Daily Mode or Weekly Mode, not less than 20 days, and in
the case of 2008A Bonds in the Monthly Mode or Term Mode, not less
than 30 days, prior to the proposed Conversion Date stating (i) that, in the
case of a conversion to a Term Mode, the current Rate Mode of such 2008A Bonds
is scheduled to be converted to a Term Mode and the Nominal Term Rate Period of
such Term Mode, or in the case of a conversion to the Daily Mode, Weekly Mode or
Monthly Mode, the interest rate on such 2008A Bonds is scheduled to be converted
to the Daily Mode, Weekly Mode or Monthly Mode, (ii) the proposed Conversion
Date, (iii) that the Company, on or before the date three (3) days prior to the
proposed Conversion Date, may determine not to convert such 2008A Bonds in which
case the Trustee shall notify the Owners in writing to such effect, and (iv)
that all Outstanding 2008A Bonds will be subject to a mandatory purchase on the
Conversion Date, or, if such Conversion Date is not a Business Day, the first
Business Day following such Conversion Date, at a price of par plus accrued
interest (if any). The Issuer, the Company, the Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Bank and the Remarketing Agent shall not be liable to any Owner for
failure to give any notice required above or for failure of any Owners to
receive such notice. Upon each conversion under this Section, all
2008A Bonds being converted shall be subject to mandatory purchase pursuant to
Section 2B.2 on the Conversion Date, or, if such Conversion Date is not a
Business Day, the first Business Day following such Conversion
Date.
(d)
On or
before the date three (3) days prior to the proposed Conversion Date, the
Company may determine not to convert the 2008A Bonds proposed to be converted to
a new Rate Mode pursuant to its election to convert given under Section 2A.5(a)
by giving written notice to the Trustee, the Remarketing Agent, the Bank and the
Paying Agent (with a copy to the Issuer). In such event (i) the 2008A
Bonds shall not be converted to the new Rate Mode but shall remain in the
current Rate Mode and (ii) the Owners of the 2008A Bonds shall nevertheless be
required to tender their 2008A Bonds for mandatory purchase pursuant to Section
2B.2.
Section 2A.6.
Initial Interest Rates and
Subsequent Conversion
.
The 2008A Bonds shall initially bear
interest at a Weekly Rate (determined pursuant to this Article) for an initial
Weekly Rate Period commencing on the Issue Date. 2008A Bonds may be
converted from one Rate Mode to another Rate Mode as provided in Section
2A.5. All 2008A Bonds shall bear interest at the same rate and shall
be in the same Rate Mode at all times.

as agent for the Paying Agent. The Paying Agent shall, as to any
tendered 2008A Bonds (or portions thereof) which have not been delivered to it
("Undelivered 2008A Bonds"), (i) promptly notify the Remarketing Agent of such
non-delivery and (ii) place a stop transfer against an appropriate amount of
2008A Bonds registered in the name of the Owner(s) on the Bond
Register. The Paying Agent shall place such stop transfer(s)
commencing with the lowest serial number 2008A Bond registered in the name of
such Owner(s) (until stop transfers have been placed against an appropriate
amount of 2008A Bonds) until the appropriate tendered 2008A Bonds are delivered
to the Paying Agent. Upon such delivery, the Paying Agent shall make
any necessary adjustments to the Bond Register. The Paying Agent
shall hold moneys representing the purchase price of Undelivered 2008A Bonds in
one or more separate accounts or subaccounts for the sole benefit of the former

principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become payable
with respect to the 2008A Bonds which shall only be invested as provided below
in the next succeeding paragraph) as provided herein, the Trustee is hereby
directed to invest and reinvest such amounts in Investment Securities promptly
upon receipt of, and, subject to the limitations set forth in this Article, in
accordance with the written instructions of the Company. In the event
no such instructions are received by the Trustee, such amounts shall be invested
in Investment Securities described in clause (g) of the definition thereof,
pending receipt of such investment instructions. All such
investments, as well as the investments described in the next succeeding
paragraph, shall be credited to the fund (and account and subaccount therein)
from which the money used to acquire such investments shall have come, and all
income and profits on such investments shall be credited to, and all losses
thereon shall be charged against, such fund (and account and subaccount
therein). As amounts invested are needed for disbursement from the
Debt Service Fund, the Trustee shall cause a sufficient amount of the
investments credited to that fund to be redeemed or sold and converted into cash
to the credit of that fund (and account and subaccount therein). The
Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such
investment or reinvestment or redemption or sale as herein authorized; except
that the Trustee shall be liable for any loss resulting from its willful or
grossly negligent failure, within a reasonable time after receiving
the direction from the Company to make any investment or reinvestment in the
manner provided for herein at the Company’s direction. If the Trustee
is unable, after reasonable effort and within a reasonable time, to make any
such investment or reinvestment, it shall so notify the Company in writing and
thereafter the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility with respect
thereto. The Trustee may make any and all such investments through
its own investment department or that of its affiliates or
subsidiaries.

pay the principal of, premium, if any, or interest which has previously become
payable with respect to the 2008A Bonds shall only be invested by the Trustee
overnight in United States Government Obligations or other Investment Securities
rated AAA or Aaa by each Rating Agency then rating the 2008A Bonds as directed
in writing by the Company; and (2) moneys deposited in the Letter of Credit
Purchase Account or the Remarketing Proceeds Purchase Account shall not be
invested but shall be held uninvested without the Trustee or the Paying Agent
having any liability for interest in their respective accounts pending
application.
The
Company by its execution of the Loan Agreement covenants to restrict the
investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture in such manner and
to such extent, if any, as may be necessary, after taking into account
reasonable expectations at the time the 2008A Bonds are delivered to their
original purchaser, so that the 2008A Bonds will not constitute arbitrage 2008A
Bonds under Section 148 of the Code and the Regulations, and the Trustee
hereby agrees to comply with the Company’s written instructions with respect to
the investment of money in the funds created under this Indenture so long as
such instructions conform to the requirements of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company will not direct the Trustee to make investments under
this Indenture that conflict with or exceed the limitations set forth in the Tax
Documents. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to
the compliance by the Company or the Issuer with respect to any covenant herein
regarding investments made in accordance with this Article, other than to use
its best reasonable efforts to comply with instructions from the Company
regarding such investments. Since the investments permitted by this
Section have been included at the request of the Company and the making of such
investments will be subject to the Company’s written direction, the Issuer and
the Trustee specifically disclaim and shall not have any obligation to the
Company for any loss arising from, or tax consequences of, investments pursuant
to the provisions of this Section. Confirmations are not required
from the Trustee for permitted investments included in a monthly statement
rendered by the Trustee, and no statement need be rendered by the Trustee for
any fund or account if no investment or income accrual activity occurred in such
fund or account during such month.

Arbitrage Bond Covenant

With
respect to the authority to invest funds granted in this Indenture, the Issuer
hereby covenants with the Bondholders that, subject to the Company’s direction
of the investment of funds, it will make no use of the proceeds of the 2008A
Bonds, or any other funds which may be deemed to be proceeds of the 2008A Bonds
pursuant to Section 148 of the Code, which would cause the 2008A Bonds to
be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of such Section.
The
Trustee shall provide such information as the Company may reasonably request in
writing to enable the Company to calculate the amount of earnings on the moneys
held under this Indenture.

Covenants Regarding Tax
Exemption

The
Issuer covenants to refrain from any action which would adversely affect, or to
take such action as is reasonable and available and within its control to
assure, the treatment of the 2008A Bonds as obligations described in
Section 103(a) of the Code, the interest on which is not included in the

$100,000 as representing that number of separate 2008A Bonds each of the
denomination of $5,000 as can be obtained by dividing the actual principal

of redemption by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Owners of 2008A Bonds
to be redeemed at their registered addresses and also to the Rating Service, and
to
The Bond Buyer
, or
their respective successors, if any, but failure to mail any such notice or
defect in the mailing thereof in respect of any 2008A Bond shall not affect the
validity of the redemption of any other 2008A Bond with respect to which notice
was properly given. Each such notice shall be dated and shall be
given in the name of the Issuer and shall state the following
information:
(1)
the
identification numbers, as established under the Indenture, and the CUSIP
numbers, if any, of the 2008A Bonds being redeemed, provided that any such
notice shall state that no representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP
numbers either as printed on such 2008A Bonds or as contained in the notice of
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the identification numbers
contained in the notice or printed on such 2008A Bonds;
(2)
any other
descriptive information needed to identify accurately the 2008A Bonds being
redeemed, including, but not limited to, the Issue Date and maturity date of,
and interest rate on, such 2008A Bonds;
(3)
in the
case of partial redemption of any 2008A Bonds, the principal amount thereof to
be redeemed;
(4)
the
redemption date;
(5)
the
redemption price;

the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon each
such 2008A Bond or portion thereof called for redemption, and that interest
thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date; and
(7)
the place
where such 2008A Bonds are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption
price, which place of payment shall be the Payment Office of the Paying
Agent.
In
addition, the Paying Agent shall at all reasonable times make available to the
Issuer, the Company, the Bank and the Remarketing Agent complete information as
to 2008A Bonds which have been redeemed or called for redemption.
(b)
In
addition to the foregoing notice, further notice of any redemption of 2008A
Bonds hereunder shall be given by the Paying Agent, on the day of the mailed
notice to Bondholders, by registered or certified mail or overnight delivery
service to Financial Information, Inc.'s "Daily Called 2008A Bond Service", 30

services, as the Issuer may designate in a certificate of the Issuer delivered
to the Paying Agent and the Trustee. Such further notice shall
contain the information required in clause (a) above. Failure to give
all or any portion of such further notice shall not in any manner defeat the
effectiveness of a call for redemption if notice thereof is given to the
Bondholders as prescribed in clause (a) above.
(c)
If at the
time of mailing of notice of any optional redemption there shall not have been
deposited moneys in the Debt Service Fund available for payment pursuant to
Section 3.2(b) sufficient to redeem all the 2008A Bonds called for redemption,
such notice shall state that it is conditional in that it is subject to the
deposit of the moneys in the Debt Service Fund available for such payment
pursuant to Section 3.2(b) not later than the redemption date, and such notice
shall be of no effect unless such moneys are so deposited.
Section
5.3.
Effect of
Redemption
.
If the
redemption price of the 2008A Bonds has been paid to the Trustee in immediately
available funds on or before the redemption date, then interest thereon will
cease to accrue, and the Registered Owners will have no rights with respect to
such 2008A Bonds nor will they be entitled to the benefits of the Indenture
except to receive payment of the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest
accrued (if any) to the date fixed for redemption.
Section
5.4.
Purchase in Lieu of
Redemption
.
Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may elect to purchase
from the Owners any 2008A Bonds that have been called for redemption under
Section 5.6 hereof on the redemption date by giving the Trustee and the
Issuer written notice at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date the 2008A
Bonds are to be redeemed. The principal amount of 2008A Bonds to be
redeemed on the applicable redemption date shall be reduced by the amount of
2008A Bonds so purchased. With respect to (i) 2008A Bonds which
have been called for redemption under Section 5.7 hereof, the Company (or
any Person acting on its behalf) cannot remarket such 2008A Bonds as tax exempt
2008A Bonds until the Company delivers to the Issuer and the Trustee an opinion
of Bond Counsel that the interest on the 2008A Bonds to be remarketed is not
includable in the gross income of the owners or Beneficial Owners thereof for
federal income tax purposes except for interest on any 2008A Bond for any period
during which such 2008A Bond is owned by a person who is a "substantial user" of
the Project Facilities or any person considered to be related to such person
within the meaning of Section 147(a) of the Code, or (ii) any 2008A
Bonds called for redemption under Section 5.6 hereof, the Company (or any
Person acting on its behalf) cannot remarket such 2008A Bonds until the Company
delivers to the Issuer and the Trustee an opinion of counsel that none of the
2008A Bonds or the Loan Agreement are subject to registration under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Section
5.5.
Payment of Redemption Price;
2008A Bonds Redeemed in Part
.
If (a)
unconditional notice of redemption has been duly given or duly waived by the
Owners of all 2008A Bonds called for redemption or (b) conditional notice of
redemption has been so given or waived and the moneys have been duly deposited
with the Paying Agent sufficient to make such redemption, then in either such
case the 2008A Bonds called for redemption shall be payable on the redemption
date at the applicable redemption price. Payment of the redemption
price together with accrued interest (if any) shall be made by the Paying Agent,
out of Available Moneys, to or upon the order of the Owners of the 2008A Bonds
called for redemption upon surrender of such 2008A Bonds to the Payment Office
of the Paying Agent. Upon the payment of the redemption price of
2008A Bonds being redeemed, each check or other transfer of funds issued for
such purpose shall bear the CUSIP number, if any, identifying by issue and
maturity, the 2008A Bonds being redeemed with the proceeds of such check or
other transfer. So long as a Letter of Credit Facility is held by the
Paying Agent for 2008A Bonds, upon redemption of less than all of the 2008A
Bonds pursuant to this Indenture, the Paying Agent shall take such action as may
be permitted under the Letter of Credit Facility securing the 2008A Bonds to
reduce the amount available thereunder as required by Section 2C.3, and, upon a
redemption of all of the Outstanding 2008A Bonds pursuant to this Indenture,
shall surrender the Letter of Credit Facility securing the 2008A Bonds to the
Bank for cancellation.
Any 2008A
Bond which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a place stated
for the surrender of 2008A Bonds called for redemption in the notice provided
for in Section 5.2 (with due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Paying Agent duly executed by, the Owner thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing and with guaranty of signatures
satisfactory to the Paying Agent) and the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver to the Owner of such 2008A Bond without service
charge, a new 2008A Bond or 2008A Bonds, of the same series in any Authorized
Denomination as requested by such Owner in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the 2008A Bond so
surrendered.
Section
5.6.
Optional
Redemption
.
(a)
While the
2008A Bonds are in the Daily Mode, Weekly Mode or Monthly Mode, the 2008A Bonds
may be redeemed by the Issuer, at the direction of the Company, in whole at any
time or in part on any Interest Payment Date, prior to maturity at a redemption
price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest (if
any) to the redemption date.
(b)
While the
2008A Bonds are in a Term Mode, the 2008A Bonds shall be subject to optional
redemption prior to maturity by the Issuer, at the direction of the Company,
only (i) in whole or in part on a Term Rate Period End Interest Payment Date at
a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued
interest (if any) to the redemption date or (ii) prior to the end of the then
current Term Rate Period in whole at any time or in part on any Interest Payment
Date, provided that the 2008A Bonds shall not be redeemable during the No Call
Period shown below, which shall begin on the first day of the current Term Rate
Period. In each Term Rate Period, after the applicable No Call
Period, the 2008A Bonds shall be redeemable at the percentage of their principal
amount shown below in the Initial Premium column plus accrued interest (if any)
to the redemption date. The premium shall decline semiannually by the
amount shown below in the Semiannual Reduction in Premium column until they
shall be redeemable without premium in the year indicated in the No Premium
After column and for any later years or periods in the respective Term Rate
Period.

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in this Section 5.6: (i) 2008A Bonds which are in a
Term Mode for a Term Rate Period of less than six years shall not be subject to
optional redemption; and (ii) the Issuer may only call 2008A Bonds for any
redemption pursuant to this Section 5.6 if the Paying Agent has moneys
constituting (or which, in the case of a conditional call pursuant to Section
5.2(c) are expected to constitute) Available Moneys sufficient to effect such
redemption.
Section
5.7.
Special Mandatory
Redemption
.
The 2008A
Bonds are subject to Special Mandatory Redemption prior to maturity not later
than 180 days after the Company has notice or actual knowledge of the occurrence
of a Determination of Taxability at a redemption price equal to 100% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date,
but such redemption shall only be effected with Available Moneys. Any
such Special Mandatory Redemption shall be in whole unless the Company delivers
to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel that redemption of a portion of the
Outstanding 2008A Bonds would have the result that interest payable on the 2008A
Bonds remaining Outstanding after such redemption would not be includable for
federal income tax purposes in the gross income of any owner or Beneficial Owner
of a 2008A Bond (other than an owner or Beneficial Owner who is a "substantial
user" of the Project Facilities or a "related person" within the meaning of
Section 147(a) of the Code and the applicable regulations thereunder), and
in such event the 2008A Bonds or portions thereof (in Authorized Denominations)
shall be redeemed at such times and in such amounts as Bond Counsel shall so
direct in such opinion.
If the
Trustee receives written notice from any Owner stating that (i) the Owner
has been notified in writing by the Internal Revenue Service that it proposes to
include the interest on any 2008A Bond in the gross income of such Owner for the
reasons stated in the definition of "Determination of Taxability" set forth
herein or any other proceeding has been instituted against such Owner which may
lead to a Final Determination, and (ii) such Owner will afford the Company
the opportunity to contest the same, either directly or in the name of the
Owner, and until a conclusion of any appellate review, if sought, then the
Trustee shall promptly give notice thereof to the Company and the Issuer and to
the Owners of 2008A Bonds then Outstanding. If the Trustee thereafter
receives written notice of a Final Determination, the Trustee shall make demand
for prepayment of the unpaid Installment Loan Payments under the Loan Agreement
or necessary portions thereof from the Company and, only upon receipt of such
prepayment constituting Available Moneys, give notice of the Special Mandatory
Redemption of the appropriate amount of 2008A Bonds on the earliest practicable
date within the required period of 180 days. In taking any action or
making any determination under this Section 5.1(b), the Trustee may rely on
an opinion of counsel.

Issuer, specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, by the
Trustee; provided, however, that if the failure stated in the notice is such
that it can be remedied but not within such 60-day period, it shall not

Acceleration and Annulment
Thereof
.
If
any Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee (with the written
consent of the Bank) may, and upon written request of the Registered Owners of
at least 25% in principal amount of all 2008A Bonds then Outstanding (and, so
long as the Bank has not wrongfully dishonored any drawing under the Letter of
Credit, with the written consent of the Bank), or with respect to an Event of
Default under subsection 7.1(a)(v), (vi) or (vii) hereof, shall, by notice in
writing to the Issuer, the Bank and the Company, declare the principal of all
2008A Bonds then Outstanding to be immediately due and payable; and upon such
declaration the said principal, together with interest accrued thereon to the
date of such declaration, shall become due and payable immediately at the place
of payment provided therein, anything in the Indenture or in the 2008A Bonds to
the contrary notwithstanding. Upon the occurrence of any acceleration
hereunder, the Trustee shall immediately declare all payments under the Loan
Agreement pursuant to Section 5.4 thereof to be due and payable
immediately.
Immediately after any acceleration
hereunder, the Trustee, to the extent it has not already done so, shall notify
in writing the Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent, the Bank, and the
Remarketing Agent of the occurrence of such acceleration. Upon the
occurrence of any acceleration hereunder, the Trustee shall notify by first
class mail, postage prepaid, the owners of all Outstanding 2008A Bonds of the
occurrence of such acceleration.
Upon any such declaration hereunder,
the Trustee shall immediately, on the date of such declaration, draw upon the
Letter of Credit to the full extent permitted by the terms thereof (such drawing
to include amounts in respect of interest accruing on the 2008A Bonds through
the date of declaration). Upon receipt by the Trustee of payment of
the full amount drawn on the Letter of Credit and provided sufficient moneys are
available in the Bond Fund to pay pursuant to Section 3.2 all sums due on the
2008A Bonds, (i) interest on the 2008A Bonds shall cease to accrue on the date
of such declaration and (ii) the Bank shall succeed to and be subrogated to the
right, title and interest of the Trustee and the Registered Owners in and to the
Loan Agreement, all funds held under this Indenture (except any funds held in
the Debt Service Fund or the Letter of Credit Purchase Account which are
identified for the payment of the 2008A Bonds or of the purchase price of
undelivered 2008A Bonds) and any other security held for the payment of the
2008A Bonds, all of which, upon payment of any fees and expenses due and payable
to the Trustee pursuant to the Loan Agreement or this Indenture, shall be
assigned by the Trustee to the Bank.
If, after the principal of the 2008A
Bonds has become due and payable, all arrears of interest upon the 2008A Bonds
are paid by the Issuer, and the Issuer also performs all other things in respect
to which it may have been in default hereunder and pays the reasonable charges
of the Trustee and the Registered Owners, including reasonable and necessary
attorneys' fees and expenses, then, and in every such case, the owners of a
majority in principal amount of the 2008A Bonds then Outstanding, by notice to
the Issuer and to the Trustee, may annul such acceleration and its consequences,
and such annulment shall be binding upon the Trustee and upon all owners of
2008A Bonds issued hereunder; provided that there shall be no annulment of any
declaration resulting from (A) any Event of Default specified in subsection
7.1(a)(v) or 7.1(a)(vii) without the prior written consent of the Bank, which
consent shall (i) rescind the Event of Default under the Reimbursement
Agreement; (ii)
rescind
the notice of such Event of Default; and (iii) reinstate the Letter of
Credit,
and (B) any Event of Default which has resulted in a drawing
under the Letter of Credit or any Event of Default specified in Section
7.1(a)(vi) unless the Trustee has received written notice from the Bank that the
Letter of Credit has been fully reinstated and that the expiration event has
been rescinded
and notice of
the event of default under the reimbursement agreement has been rescinded
or an Alternate Credit Facility has been provided pursuant to Section 2C7
hereof. No such annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent
default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon. The Trustee
shall forward a copy of any notice from Registered Owners received by it
pursuant to this paragraph to the Company. Immediately upon such
annulment, the Trustee shall cancel, by notice to the Company, any demand for
prepayment of all amounts due under the Loan Agreement made by the Trustee
pursuant to this Section. The Trustee shall promptly give written
notice of such annulment to the Issuer, the Company, the Paying Agent, the
Remarketing Agent, and, if notice of the acceleration of the 2008A Bonds shall
have been given to the Registered Owners, shall give notice thereof to the
Registered Owners.
Section
7.3.
Legal Proceedings by
Trustee
.

Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee in its discretion
may, and upon the written request of the Registered Owners of 25% or more in

no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own

instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of
the Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment

prepared by the successor Trustee transferring to such successor Trustee all the
rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder. Upon request of any such successor
Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and
certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights,

party, or any corporation or association succeeding to all or substantially all
of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, to the extent operative, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto.
Section
8.11.
Fees, Charges and Expenses
of Trustee
.
Pursuant
to the provisions of Section 6.5 and 8.3 of the Loan Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to be paid by the Company reasonable compensation for its
services rendered hereunder and to reimbursement for its actual out-of-pocket
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) necessarily incurred in connection
therewith. The Company may, without creating a default hereunder,
contest in good faith the necessity for and the reasonableness of any such
services and expenses after making payment therefor. The Company, the
Issuer and the Bondholders agree that the Trustee shall have a lien for the
foregoing compensation, expenses and fees upon the Trust Estate (other than
moneys held for the payment of particular 2008A Bonds whether or not such
payment is then due and owing) and, upon an Event of Default hereunder, the
Trustee shall have a right of payment prior to payment to the Bondholders on
account of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on any 2008A Bond as
provided in Section 7.10 hereof.
The
Issuer shall require the Company, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, to indemnify
and hold harmless the Trustee against any liabilities which the Trustee may
incur in the exercise and performance of its powers and duties hereunder, under
the Loan Agreement and any other agreement referred to herein which are not due
to the Trustee’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, and for any fees and
expenses of the Trustee to the extent funds are not available under this
Indenture as provided in the preceding paragraph for the payment
thereof. The rights of the Trustee under this Section shall survive
the payment in full of the 2008A Bonds and the discharge of this
Indenture. The Trustee acknowledges that the requirement set forth in
this paragraph has been satisfied by the Issuer and agrees that in the event the
Company fails to perform its obligations under the Loan Agreement relating to
such undertaking, the Trustee will make no claim against the Issuer with respect
thereto.
When the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default as a
result of an Act of Bankruptcy of the Company, the expenses and the compensation
for services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are
intended to constitute expenses of administration of the bankruptcy estate under
applicable bankruptcy law.

Agent for the purpose of acting as paying agent, Bond registrar, transfer agent,

of the Letter of Credit Facility, the Paying Agent shall act as agent for the
Trustee. The Paying Agent shall be a national banking association, a
bank and trust company or a trust company. The Issuer hereby appoints
Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as Paying
Agent and designates the Payment Office of the Paying Agent as a place of

change pursuant to this Article is filed with the Trustee. The Paying
Agent shall act as paying agent, Bond registrar, transfer agent, and tender
agent as provided in this Indenture. The Paying Agent shall signify

the respective Owners until such sums shall be paid to such Owners or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided;

respective Owners until moneys representing the purchase price of such 2008A

(3) hold
all moneys delivered to it hereunder for the purchase of 2008A Bonds in trust

due thereon on the dates and in the manner stipulated therein, and shall pay or
cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums of money due or to become due according
to the provisions hereof and if all other liabilities of the Company under the
Loan Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement shall have been satisfied, then
these presents and the estate and rights hereby granted shall cease, determine
and be void, whereupon the lien of this Indenture shall be canceled and
discharged (except with respect to moneys held by the Trustee or Paying Agent
hereunder for the payment of 2008A Bonds as aforesaid, and the rights and
immunities of the Issuer, the Trustee and the Paying Agent hereunder), and upon
written request of the Issuer or the Company, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver to the Issuer such instruments in writing as shall be required by the
Issuer or the Company to cancel and discharge the lien hereof and thereof, and
reconvey, release, assign and deliver unto the Issuer and the Company,
respectively, the estate, right, title and interest in and to any and all

the lien of this Indenture. Notwithstanding anything contained in
this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee and Paying Agent shall comply with
the provisions of Section 8.19 hereof in connection with any final payment of
all outstanding 2008A Bonds hereunder.
Any 2008A
Bond shall be deemed to be paid within the meaning of this Section 10.1
when payment of the principal of, and premium and tender purchase price
payments, if any, on such 2008A Bond, plus interest thereon to the due date
thereof (whether such due date be by reason of maturity, upon redemption prior
to maturity or upon optional or mandatory tender, as provided in this Indenture
or otherwise), either (i) shall have been made or caused to be made in
accordance with the terms thereof, or (ii) shall have been provided by
irrevocably depositing with the Trustee, in trust for the benefit of and subject
to a security interest in favor of the owner of such 2008A Bond, and irrevocably
setting aside exclusively for such payment on such due date, (1) moneys
sufficient to make such payment, or (2) Government Obligations maturing as
to principal and interest in such amounts and on such dates as will (together
with any moneys held under clause (1)), in the written opinion to the Trustee
from a firm of certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee,
provide sufficient moneys without reinvestment to make such payment, and if all
necessary and proper fees, compensation and expenses of the Trustee pertaining
to the 2008A Bonds with respect to which such deposit is made and all other
liabilities of the Company under the Loan Agreement and the Reimbursement
Agreement shall have been paid or the payment thereof provided for to the
satisfaction of the Trustee;
provided
,
however
, that (x)
such amount on deposit described in (1) or (2) above shall be deemed sufficient
only if (A) while the 2008A Bonds bear interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or
Monthly Rate, it provides for payment of interest on the 2008A Bonds at the
maximum rate of 12% per annum and the Issuer shall have surrendered any power
hereunder to thereafter change such maximum rate applicable to such 2008A Bonds,
or (B) while the 2008A Bonds bear interest at a Term Rate, it provides for
payment of interest on the 2008A Bonds at the current Term Rate and the 2008A
Bonds mature or are scheduled to be redeemed at or prior to the expiration of
the current Term Rate Period, (y) in the opinion of Bond Counsel, delivered to
the Trustee and the Issuer, such deposit of Government Obligations described in
(2) above will not adversely affect the exclusion from gross income for federal
income tax purposes of interest on the 2008A Bonds or cause any of the 2008A
Bonds to be classified as "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of
Section 148 of the Code, and (z) any 2008A Bond shall be deemed to be paid
only if (A) the Trustee and the Paying Agent hold in the Debt Service Fund (or a
separate escrow account) cash constituting Available Moneys and/or such
obligations purchased with Available Moneys for payment of such 2008A Bonds
pursuant to Section 3.2 above in amounts sufficient, together with the earnings
thereon, to make all payments specified above with respect to such 2008A Bonds,
as verified by an accountant's certification in form and by an accountant not
unacceptable to the Trustee and the Rating Service, and (B) in the case of 2008A
Bonds bearing interest at a Daily Rate, Weekly Rate or Monthly Rate, the 2008A
Bonds have been called for redemption on a date not more than sixty (60) days
from the date provision for payment is being made pursuant to this
Section. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section
10.1, if provision is to be made for the payment of all, or less than all, of
the Outstanding 2008A Bonds, the Trustee shall have received written
confirmation from the Rating Service that any then-current ratings on the 2008A
Bonds will not be reduced or withdrawn. At such time as a 2008A Bond
shall be deemed to be paid hereunder, as aforesaid, it shall no longer be
secured by or entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, except for the
purposes set forth in Sections 2.7 and 2.8 hereof and any such payment from
such moneys or Government Obligations on the date or dates specified at the time
of such deposit.
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of 2008A Bonds which are to be redeemed prior to the
maturity date, no deposit under clause (ii) of the immediately preceding
paragraph shall be deemed a payment of such 2008A Bonds as aforesaid until
proper notice of redemption of such 2008A Bonds shall have been previously given
in accordance with Article V hereof, or until the Company, on behalf of the
Issuer, shall have given the Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trustee,
irrevocable written instructions:
(a)
stating
the redemption date when the principal (and premium, if any) of each such 2008A
Bond is to be paid (which may be any redemption date permitted by this
Indenture); and
(b)
to call
for redemption pursuant to this Indenture any 2008A Bonds to be redeemed prior
to the maturity date pursuant to (a) hereof.
In the
case of 2008A Bonds which are not to be redeemed within the next succeeding
sixty (60) days, the Trustee shall mail, as soon as practicable, in the manner
prescribed by Article V hereof, a notice to the Owners of such 2008A Bonds
that the deposit required by (ii) above has been made with the Trustee and that
said 2008A Bonds are deemed to have been paid in accordance with this
Section 10.1 and stating the redemption or maturity date upon which moneys
are to be available for the payment of the redemption price on or principal of
said 2008A Bonds.
Any
moneys so deposited with the Trustee as provided in this Section 10.1 may
at the written direction of the Company also be invested and reinvested in
Government Obligations, maturing in the written opinion of a firm of certified
public accountants delivered and not unsatisfactory to the Trustee in the
amounts and on the dates as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all
Government Obligations in the hands of the Trustee pursuant to this
Section 10.1 which, in the written opinion to the Trustee from a firm of
certified public accountants not unsatisfactory to the Trustee, is not required
for the payment of the 2008A Bonds and interest and premium, if any, thereon
with respect to which such moneys are deposited, shall be deposited in the Debt
Service Fund as and when collected for use and application as are other moneys
deposited in that fund.
Anything
in Article IX hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, if moneys or
Government Obligations have been deposited or set aside with the Trustee
pursuant to this Section 10.1 for the payment of the principal of, and
premium and purchase price, if any, and interest on the 2008A Bonds and the
principal of, and premium and purchase price, if any, and interest on such 2008A
Bonds shall not have in fact been actually paid in full, no amendment to the
provisions of this Section 10.1 shall be made without the consent of the
Owner of each of the 2008A Bonds affected thereby.
If an
agreement with a Securities Depository as described in Section 2.11 hereof
is then in effect and such agreement provides for the Company to obtain a CUSIP
number in the event of a partial refunding or redemption of the 2008A Bonds and
the authentication of a new 2008A Bond for the refunded or redeemed 2008A Bonds,
then the Company shall comply with the provisions of such
agreement.
Section
10.2.
Effect of
Defeasance
.
Notwithstanding
anything stated to the contrary in this Article, no defeasance hereunder shall
relieve the Trustee or the Paying Agent of any duty with respect to, or
discharge or terminate the provisions hereof with respect to, the payment,
transfer, purchase, exchange, registration or redemption of 2008A Bonds, as the
case may be.

purpose. The Issuer shall be conclusively deemed to have complied
with all of its covenants and other obligations hereunder, including but not
limited to those set forth in Articles III and VI hereof, upon requiring
the Company in the Loan Agreement to agree to perform such Issuer covenants and
other obligations (excepting only any approvals or consents permitted or
required to be given by the Issuer hereunder, and any exceptions to the
performance by the Company of the Issuer’s covenants and other obligations
hereunder, as may be contained in the Loan Agreement). However,
nothing contained in any such agreement in the Loan Agreement shall prevent the
Issuer from time to time, in its discretion, from performing any such covenants
or other obligations. The Issuer shall have no liability for any
failure to fulfill, or breach by the Company of, the Company’s obligations under
the 2008A Bonds, this Indenture, the Loan Agreement, or otherwise, including
without limitation the Company’s obligation to fulfill the Issuer’s covenants

Deposit of Funds for Payment
of 2008A Bonds

If the principal or redemption price of
any 2008A Bonds becoming due, either at maturity or by call for redemption or
otherwise, together with all interest accruing thereon to the due date, has been
paid or provision therefor made in accordance with Section 10.1, all interest on
such 2008A Bonds shall cease to accrue on the due date and all liability of the
Issuer with respect to such 2008A Bonds shall likewise cease, except as
hereinafter provided. Thereafter the Owners of such 2008A Bonds shall

nature with respect to such 2008A Bonds, and the Trustee shall hold such funds
in trust for such owners.
Other than moneys held in the Letter of
Credit Debt Service Account and the Letter of Credit Purchase Account which
shall be distributed pursuant to Section 3.3 hereof, moneys which remain
unclaimed two years after the due date shall, subject to any applicable
provisions of law relating to escheat of property, at the written request of the
Company, and if the Company is not, at the time, to the knowledge of the
Trustee, in default with respect to any covenant in the Loan Agreement or the
2008A Bonds, be paid to the Company, and the owners of the 2008A Bonds for which
the deposit was made shall thereafter be limited to a claim against the
Company. Such moneys while held by the Trustee shall be held in trust
uninvested. Before being required to make a payment to the Company
under this Section 11.2, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive at the
Company’s expenses an opinion of Counsel to the effect that such payment is
permitted under the provisions of Pennsylvania law. In the absence of
any such written request from the Company, the Trustee shall from time to time
deliver such unclaimed funds to or as directed by pertinent escheat authority,
as identified by the Trustee in its sole discretion, pursuant to and in
