Upon that certain surety bond, as required by A. R. S. Title 32, Chapter 30, between the State of Arizona, Aspen University, Inc., as Principal, and Endurance Assurance Corporation, as surety (“Surety”), in the initial amount of $18,287,110, (the “Surety Bond”) ceasing to be outstanding, the Company shall deliver to the Lenders a certificate (such certificate, the “Termination Certificate”) executed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in form and substance satisfactory to each of the Lenders, certifying that the Surety Bond is no longer
