Section 3.02. SECURITY FOR THE LOAN. The obligations of the User under this Agreement shall be direct general obligations of the User. Prior to or simultaneously with the issuance of the Bonds, the Issuer will assign to the Trustee under the terms of the Trust Indenture all of the Issuer's right, title, and interest in and to the Install- ment Loan Payments. In addition, it is recognized and understood that the Deed of Trust and the Security Agreement have been given by the User as additional security for the payment of Installment Loan Payments for the benefit of the owners of the Bonds. Section 3.03. REPAYMENT OF LOAN. (a) Notwithstanding any provision expressly or inferentially to the contrary contained herein, the User unconditionally agrees that it shall make Installment Loan Payments to the Trustee (pursu- ant to the aforesaid assignment by the Issuer) in lawful money of the United States of America, and in such amounts and at such times as shall be necessary to enable the Trustee to make full and prompt payment of (1) the principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on all Bonds when due (whether at stated maturity, upon redemption prior to stated maturity, or upon acceleration of stated matur- ity), (2) any agreed liquidated damages owed by the User to the Bondholders or former Bondholders, (3) any interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bondholders or former Bondholders in connection with a Determination of Taxability required to be reimbursed to such Bondholders or former Bondholders by the User, all as provided in the Bonds, (4) all fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Registrar, and any Paying Agent for such Bonds, and (5) all other amounts required to be paid by this Agreement, each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture. Upon the issuance and delivery of Bonds to the initial purchaser thereof, and the deposit of the proceeds derived therefrom into the accounts established in the Bond Resolu- tion, the User shall have received, and the Issuer shall have given, full and complete consideration for the User's obligation hereunder to make Installment Loan Payments. The 10 obligations of the User to make the payments required by this Agreement shall be absolute and unconditional, and shall not be subject to diminution by set-off, recoupment, counterclaim, abatement, or otherwise; and until such time as all Installment Loan Payments shall have been made or provision therefor shall have been made in accordance with each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture, the User: (i) will not suspend or discontinue, or permit the suspension or discontinuance of, any payments provided for in this Agree- ment; (ii) will perform and observe all of its other agree- ments contained in this Agreement; and (iii) will not terminate this Agreement for any cause including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, failure of the Project to comply with the plans and specifications there- for, any acts or circumstances that may constitute failure of consideration, destruction of, or damage to the Project, frustration of commercial purpose, any change in the tax or other laws or administrative rulings of or administrative actions by the United States of America, or the State of Texas, or any political subdivision of either, or any failure of the Issuer to perform and observe any agreement, whether expressed or implied, or any duty, liability, or obligation arising out of or in connection with this Agree- ment. Nothing contained in this Section shall be construed to release the Issuer from the performance of any of the agreements on its part contained herein; and in the event the Issuer shall fail to perform any such agreement on its part, the User may institute such action against the Issuer as the User may deem necessary to compel performance, provided that no such action shall violate the agreements on the part of the User contained in this Section or postpone or diminish the amounts required to be paid by the User pursuant to this Agreement. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to the applicable usury laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America, and any provision for any payment contained herein and in such Bonds shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under said usury laws as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction. This provision shall be held to operate to deny the owners of the Bonds the right, in any event, to collect usury. Section 3.04. TITLE. The Issuer shall have no right, title, or interest in and to the Project. Except for making the Loan to the User from the source and in the manner provided in this Agreement, the Issuer shall not be respon- sible or liable in any manner for any claims, losses, damages, penalties, costs, taxes, or fines with respect to the acquisition, construction, equipping, furnishing, installation, operation, maintenance, or ownership of the Project. 11 Section 3.05.

The provisions of the preceding sentence shall remain and be in full force and effect even if any such liability, cost, expense, damage or loss or claim therefor by any person, directly or indirectly results from, arises out of, or relates to or is asserted to have resulted from, arisen out of, or related to, in whole or in part, one or more negligent acts or omissions of the Commission, the Issuer or the Governmental Unit or its City Council, officers, directors, employees, agents, servants, or any other party acting for or on behalf of the Commission, the Issuer or the Governmental Unit in connection with the matters set forth in clauses (i) through (iii) of said sentence. 12 • • Section 3.07. ISSUER'S LIMITED LIABILITY. It is recognized that the Issuer's only source of funds with which to carry out its commitments with respect to the Project and this Agreement will be from the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds; and it is expressly agreed that the Issuer shall have no liability, obligation, or responsibility with respect to this Agreement or the Project except to the extent of funds available from such Bond proceeds. If, for any reason, the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds are not sufficient to pay all the Cost of the Project, the User shall complete the Project and pay all such Cost from its own funds, but it shall not be entitled to reimbursement therefor unless additional Bonds are issued for such pur- pose, or to any diminution in or postponement of any pay- ments required to be made by the User hereunder. 13 ARTICLE IV THE BONDS Section 4.01. ISSUANCE OF BONDS. (a) In considera- tion of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and to enable the Issuer to issue the Bonds to carry out the intents and purposes hereof, this Agreement is executed to assure the issuance of such Bonds, and to provide for the due and punctual payment by the User to the Trustee of the Installment Loan Payments. The User shall make the Installment Loan Payments, for the benefit of each series or issue of Bonds, to the Trustee for deposit into the Debt Service Fund as provided in each Bond Resolution. (b) Simultaneously with the authorization of this Agreement by the Board of Directors, such Board has adopted the Initial Bond Resolution. The User hereby approves the Initial Bond Resolution, including the Trust Indenture authorized therein. Each Bond Resolution authorizing addi- tional Bonds shall be subject to the written approval of the Approving Officer and the provisions of any such Bond Resolution shall not be binding or effective upon the User unless and until such approval is given. It is hereby agreed that the foregoing approval of the Initial Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture, and any approval of any Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of additional Bonds constitutes the acknowledgment and agreement of the User that such Bonds, when issued and delivered as provided in such Bond Resolution, will be issued in accordance with and in compliance with this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary. Any Bondholder is entitled to rely fully and unconditionally on any such approvals. Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary, the User's approval of any Bond Resolution (including the Trust Inden- ture authorized by the Initial Bond Resolution), shall be the User's agreement that all covenants and provisions in such Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture affecting the User shall, upon the delivery of such Bonds and the Trust Indenture, become unconditional, valid, and binding cove- nants and obligations of the User so long as said Bonds and the interest thereon are outstanding and unpaid. Particu- larly, the obligation of the User to make, promptly when due, all Installment Loan Payments specified in each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture shall be absolute and unconditional, and said obligation may be enforced as provided in each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture, regardless of any other provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary. Upon the request of the User, and only upon its request, the Issuer may, when, in the opinion of the Issuer, it becomes neces- sary or advisable, authorize and use its best efforts to 14 • sell and deliver additional Bonds, in one or more series or issues, in aggregate principal amounts sufficient to pay the Cost of the Project. Section 4.02. REFUNDING OF BONDS. After the issuance of any Bonds, the Issuer shall not refund any of the Bonds or change or modify the Bonds in any way, except as provided for in the Bond Resolution, without the prior written approval of the Approving Officer; nor shall the Issuer redeem any Bonds prior to their scheduled maturities, or change or modify any Bond Resolution, without the prior written approval of the Approving Officer, unless such redemption is required by a Bond Resolution. Section 4.03. REDEMPTION OF BONDS. Provision shall be made in each Bond Resolution for the redemption of Bonds prior to maturity, under such terms and conditions as shall be set forth therein. The redemption of any outstanding Bonds prior to maturity at any time shall not relieve the User of its unconditional obligation to pay each remaining Installment Loan Payment as specified in any Bond Resolution or the Trust Indenture. The User also shall comply with and be bound by all provisions of this Agreement and of each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture with respect to the mandatory and optional redemption of Bonds. Section 4.04. INSTALLMENT LOAN PAYMENTS. (a) Payment of all Installment Loan Payments shall be made and deposited as required by each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture including all such payments which may come due because of the acceleration of the maturity or maturities of any Bonds upon default, or otherwise, under the provisions of the Trust Indenture. If any available funds in excess of current requirements are held on deposit in the Debt Service Fund at the time payment of any Installment Loan Payment is due, such payment may be reduced by the amount of the funds so held on deposit. The User shall have the right to prepay all or a portion of any Installment Loan Payment at any time. Any such prepayment by the User shall not relieve it of liability for each remaining Installment Loan Payment as provided in this Agreement and each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture. (b) Recognizing that the Installment Loan Payments will be the Issuer's sole source for the payment and perfor- mance of its obligations to the Trustee, any Paying Agent and the Bondholders under each Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture, when any Bonds are delivered, the User shall be unconditionally obligated to make and pay, or cause to be made and paid, each Installment Loan Payment regardless of whether or not the User actually acquires or completes the Project, or whether or not the User actually approves, purchases, receives, accepts, or uses the Project; and such payments shall not be subject to any abatement, set-off, 15 • • recoupment, or counterclaim; and the Bondholders shall be entitled to rely on this agreement and representation, notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement to the contrary, and regardless of the validity of, or the performance of, the remainder of this Agreement or any other contract or agreement. Section 4.05. NO ARBITRAGE. The Issuer and the User hereby covenant with each other and with the Bondholders that they will make no use of the direct or indirect pro- ceeds of the Bonds at any time which will cause the Bonds to be arbitrage bonds within the meaning of Section 103(c) of the Code or the Regulations pertaining thereto; and by this covenant the Issuer and the User are obligated to comply with the requirements of the aforesaid Section 103(c) and the pertinent Regulations. Section 4.06. TAX-EXEMPT STATUS OF INTEREST ON THE BONDS AND MANDATORY REDEMPTION. (a) The Issuer covenants that it shall, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, duly elect to have the provisions of Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Code apply to such issue, and such election shall be made in accordance with the applicable Regulations. The User cove- nants that it shall furnish to the Issuer whatever informa- tion is necessary for the Issuer to make any such election and the User shall file with the Internal Revenue Service such supplemental statements and other information as are required by the applicable Regulations with respect to all capital expenditures made, paid, or incurred by or on behalf of the User or any person related to the User, within the meaning of Section 103(b)(6)(C) of the Code, in the Project Location, and in any other political jurisdiction contiguous thereto with respect to any facilities contiguous to or integrated with any facilities in the Project Location, within the meaning of Sections 1.103-10(b)(2)(ii)(e) and 1.103-10(d) (2)(i) of the Regulations (collectively the "Project Area"). (b) The User hereby covenants that (i) substantially all the proceeds (within the meaning of Section 103(b)(6) of the Code) from the sale of the Bonds will be used and expended for amounts paid or incurred after the Inducement Date for the acquisition, construction, reconstruction, or improvement of land or property of a character subject to the allowance for depreciation under the Code, (ii) less than 25% of the proceeds from the sale of the Bonds will be used (directly or indirectly) for any acquisition of land (or any interest therein) which is a Cost of the Project, (iii) rehabilitation expenditures, within the meaning of Section 103(b)(17) of the Code, will equal (a) with respect to any building, at least 15% of the Bond financed portion of the cost of acquiring any such building and (b) with respect to any equipment, to 100% of the Bond financed portion of the cost of acquiring any such equipment and (iv) 16 except as otherwise set forth in a certificate or statement furnished to the Issuer and its Bond Counsel prior to the issuance of Bonds, the acquisition, construction, recon- struction, or improvement of the Project did not begin before the Inducement Date, nor was any work performed or any costs paid or incurred by the User or any other entity in connection with such acquisition, construction, recon- struction, or improvement before the Inducement Date. (c) The User represents (i) that all of the proceeds of the Bonds are to be used with respect to the Project, which will be located wholly within the Governmental Unit; (ii) that, except for any person related to the User within the meaning of Section 103(b)(6)(C) of the Code, the User will be the only principal user of the Project within the meaning of Section 103(b)(6) of the Code; and (iii) that, except for the Bonds, there will not be outstanding on the date of delivery of the Bonds any obligations of any state, territory, or possession of the United States, or any poli- tical subdivision of the foregoing or of the District of Columbia constituting "exempt small issues" within the meaning of Section 1.103-10 of the Regulations, the proceeds of which have been or are to be used primarily with respect to facilities located in the Project Location, or in any contiguous political jurisdiction with respect to any contiguous or integrated facilities, and which are to be used principally by the User (including any person related to the User within the meaning of Section 103(b)(6)(C) of the Code). (d) The User further covenants and represents that it has not made, paid, or incurred, and will not make, pay, or incur any capital expenditures which would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxes pursuant to the provisions of Section 103(b) of the Code. The User further covenants and represents that it will not permit any person or entity to use or lease 10% (in value or area) or more of the Project if the aggregate authorized face amount of the Bonds allocated to such person or entity under Section 103(b)(15) of the Code (when increased by the outstanding aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt outstanding aggregate face amount of all tax-exempt "industrial development bonds" (within the meaning of Section 103(b)(2) of the Code) allocated to such person or entity under Section 103(b)(15) of the Code), would cause the interest on the Bonds to become subject to federal income taxes pursuant to the provisions of Section 103(b)(15) of the Code. The User further covenants that it has not taken any action or permitted any action to be taken, and that it will not take any action or permit any action to be taken, which would result in a Determination of Taxability, as hereinafter defined, and that the User has not failed to take and will not fail to take any action 17 • required to prevent the occurrence of such Determination of Taxability. (e) The User acknowledges that the capital expendi- tures referred to in the preceding paragraphs include all capital expenditures within the Project Area and all capital expenditures incurred elsewhere relating to the Project, including, without limitation, research and development costs, which may, under any rule or election under the Code, be treated as a capital expenditure (whether or not such expenditure is so treated). (f) The User further covenants that it shall furnish to the Issuer and its Bond Counsel, prior to the issuance of the Bonds, a certificate or statement of the aggregate amount of capital expenditures (other than those to be financed from the proceeds of the Bonds) made, paid, or incurred in the Project Area or made, paid, or incurred elsewhere with respect to the Project ("Included Capital Expenditures") during the period beginning three years before the date of delivery of such issue. The User cove- nants that it will furnish to the Trustee (i) a copy of supplemental statements required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service by Section 1.103-10 of the Regula- tions listing by date and amount any Included Capital Expenditures (other than those mentioned in Section 103(b)(6)(F) of the Code) during the three-year period beginning as of the date of issuance of the Bonds, including all such Included Capital Expenditures not listed on the capital expenditure certificate filed with the Internal Revenue Service prior to the issuance of the Bonds, and (ii) within 30 days after it has made, paid, or incurred the maximum amount of capital expenditures permitted under Section 103(b)(6)(D) of the Code, a statement to that effect. The User shall file such supplemental statements with the District Director of Internal Revenue or the Director of the regional service center of the Internal Revenue Service with whom the User's federal income tax return is required to be filed on the due date prescribed for filing such return (without regard to any extensions of time). Each such supplemental statement shall set forth a description of those capital expenditures which are capital expenditures under Section 103(b)(6)(D)(ii) of the Code and shall take into account facilities referred to in Section 103(b)(6)(E) of the Code in computing such capital expenditures. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement. (g) The User covenants that a Determination of Taxa- bility as hereinafter defined shall not occur, whether or not as a result of any action or inaction by the User. 18 • (h) A "Determination of Taxability" as used herein, and in the Initial Bond Resolution and in the Form of Bond included therein shall mean any of the following: (i) It is determined (in an opinion of Bond Counsel) that interest paid in respect of a Bond is includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of a holder or former holder of a Bond (other than the User, or a "substantial user" or a "related person" as those terms are used in Section 103 of the Code); or (ii) The Internal Revenue Service issues a "notice of deficiency" pursuant to Section 6212 of the Code (or any successor provision of the Code as in effect from time to time) to any such holder or former holder assessing a tax in respect of any interest on the Bonds; or (iii) The Internal Revenue Service enters into any settlement agreement with any holder or former holder of any Bond under which a tax, penalty or interest in respect of any interest on such Bond is to be assessed. (i) The User shall have no right to require any holder or former holder of any Bond to contest or pursue any appeal of, or have any communication with the Internal Revenue Service concerning a Determination of Taxability or any notice from the Internal Revenue Service or any agent thereof proposing that interest on any Bond be taxable, and no holder or former holder of any Bond shall have a duty to make any such contest or pursue any such appeal or have any such communication. In the event that a holder or former holder of any Bond, in the exercise of his, her or its sole discretion, does contest or appeal or have any communication with the Internal Revenue Service concerning a Determination of Taxability, or any notice from the Internal Revenue Service or an agent thereof proposing that interest on any Bond be taxable, the holder or former holder of the Bond shall retain full control over the settlement or other disposition of any and all issues before the Internal Revenue Service with respect to the Bond. (j) Within 60 days of the occurrence of a Determina- tion of Taxability (provided, the running of such 60 day period may be stayed by the delivery to the Trustee of the written election of all Bondholders to postpone mandatory redemption of the Bonds pending contest or appeal of such Determination of Taxability, such stay to continue until the delivery by any Bondholder to the Trustee of written notice of such Bondholder's election that the running of such 60 day period resume), there shall be a mandatory redemption prior to maturity of the entire outstanding unpaid principal and accrued interest of the Bonds, and the payment by the 19 • User to the Trustee for the benefit of the Bondholders or former Bondholders of agreed liquidated damages (for loss of a bargain -and not as a penalty) if any, and any interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Bondholders or former Bondholders in connection with a Determination of Taxability required to be reimbursed to such Bondholders or former Bondholders, all as shall be provided for in, and in accordance with the provisions of, each Bond Resolution. Such payment of agreed liquidated damages, if any, and any interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses required to be reimbursed in connection with a Determination of Taxability shall be a direct obliga- tion of the User to the Bondholders or former Bondholders and shall be paid to the Trustee for the benefit of such Bondholders or former Bondholders during the term of this Agreement and thereafter shall be paid by the User directly to such Bondholders or former Bondholders. Section 4.07. PAYMENTS TO ISSUER. From the proceeds of the sale and delivery of each series or issue of Bonds there shall be paid all of the Issuer's reasonable, actual out-of-pocket expenses and costs of issuance in connection with such series of Bonds, including, without limitation, all financing, legal, printing, and other expenses and costs of issuance incurred in issuing the Bonds. In addition, the Issuer shall receive out of such Bond proceeds an amount equal to the amount specified in each Bond Resolution to pay and reimburse the Issuer for its administrative and overhead expenses directly attributable and chargeable to the issuance of the Bonds and the acquisition, construction, equipping, and furnishing of the Project. Also the User agrees to pay directly to the Issuer annually while any of the Bonds is outstanding, upon receiving a bill or statement therefor, which shall be submitted by the Issuer promptly after the close of each fiscal year of the Issuer, an amount equal to 5/100ths of 1% of the amount of the Bonds outstanding to pay and reimburse the Issuer for its administrative and overhead expenses reasonably and necessarily incurred in connection with the Bonds and the Project during the previous fiscal year and an amount sufficient to pay and reimburse the Issuer for any of its actual costs reasonably and necessarily incurred in connection with the Bonds and the Project during the previous fiscal year. Section 4.08 PAYMENT TO SPECIAL REBATE FUND. The User hereby covenants and agrees that it has the sole and exclusive responsibility to make the necessary calculations and determinations, together with summaries of the manner in which such calculations and determinations were made, and to communicate them to the Trustee in order that the Trustee may make the payments, at the times and as described in Section 7(g) of the Initial Bond Resolution and maintain records as required in Article 4(d) of the Trust Indenture. 20 • • In any event, if the amount of cash held in the Special Rebate Fund shall be insufficient to permit the Trustee to make payment to the United States of any amount due under Section 103(c)(6)(D) of the Code, the User forthwith shall pay the amount of such insufficiency on such date to the Trustee in immediately available funds. The obligations of the User under this Section 4.08 are direct obligations of the User, and the Issuer shall have no obligation or duty with respect to the Special Rebate Fund. 21 ARTICLE V COVENANT AND REMEDIES Section 5.01.

(the "Bank") (the rate announced from time to time by the Bank from its principal office as the Base Rate of the Bank) , and at a rate of 15% per annum on overdue principal and, to the extent legally permissible, on overdue interest. Any change in the Base Rate shall automatically, and without notice to the Issuer, be effec- tive for the purpose of changing the rate of interest which this Bond bears as of the opening of business on the date of any such change in the Base Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing interest rate calculations, from the date of delivery of this Bond through December 15, 1987, the rate of interest on this Bond will be fixed at 8% per annum. Furthermore, after December 15, 1987, the interest rate resulting from the calculations as hereinabove provided shall never be lower than 8% per annum nor exceed a rate which would cause the net effective interest rate (as defined and calculated in accordance with Article 717k-2, V.A.T.C.S., as it exists on the date of issuance of this Bond) for this Bond as of any date to exceed 15%. Interest on this Bond shall be payable on March 15, 1986 and on the fifteenth day of each June, September, December and March thereafter through December 15, 1987 and then interest on this Bond shall be payable on the fifteenth day of each month thereafter while this Bond is outstanding (each such date being an "interest payment date"). THE TRUSTEE (hereinafter defined) shall calculate the total interest due on the unpaid principal balance of this Bond (the "Interest Calculation") on each date any payment of interest or principal of this Bond is due (the "Calculation Date") and, on such Calculation Date, shall immediately notify the User (hereinafter defined) of such Interest Calculation, which calculation shall represent the full amount of interest due on this Bond on such Calculation Date. If the Calculation Date is a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which banking institutions in the city where the Trustee is located are authorized by law or execu- tive order to close, then the Interest Calculation shall be made and notice shall be given to the User on the next succeeding day which is not such a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday or day on which banking institutions are authorized to close, all in the same manner and with the same force and 10 • effect as if such Interest Calculation had been made on the date the interest was due. 1kbr.

In Lieu of any such redemption, the User may purchase or cause the Bonds to be purchased at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of such purchase, and without premium, by providing the Trustee with written notice of its intention to purchase the Bonds no later than ten (10) days prior to the date such redemption would occur.

In lieu of any such redemption, the User may purchase or cause the Bonds to be purchased at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of such purchase, and without premium, by providing the Trustee with written notice of its intention to purchase the Bonds no later than ten days prior to the date such redemption would occur. The redemption of the Bonds resulting from a put by the registered owners of at least 67% in the aggregate principal amount of all Bonds then outstanding or the Purchase in lieu of such redemption shall occur in the offices of the Trustee during the normal business hours of the Trustee on December 15, 1992, December 1, 1997, or December 15, 2002 as provided in such written notice or, if such day is a Saturday, Sunday, legal holiday, or day on which the offices of the Trustee are not open for business, on the next succeeding day on which the offices of the Trustee are open for business. ON ANY DATE, the unpaid principal installments of this Bond are subject to mandatory prepayment or redemption, as a whole, and shall be prepaid or redeemed prior to their scheduled due dates, by the Trustee, with funds which shall be furnished by the User, on the earliest practicable date, and in all events within sixty days (subject, however, to the right of the holders of all outstanding Bonds to stay the running of said sixty day period for purposes of joining in a contest or appeal of a Determination of Taxability), following the occurrence of a Determination of Taxability as defined and provided for in the Agreement (hereinafter defined). The prepayment or redemption price in such event shall be equal to the unpaid principal amount of this Bond so prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment or redemption, and without premium. In addition, there shall be due and owing to the holder of this Bond an additional amount as agreed liquidated damages (for loss of a bargain and not as a penalty) calculated by 14 • • subtracting (i) the amount of interest accrued on this Bond during the period from the earliest date from which interest paid in respect of this Bond is determined to be includable for federal income tax purposes in the gross income of the holder of this Bond to the date on which this Bond is redeemed (the "Inclusion Period") from (ii) the quotient of the amount of said interest divided by one minus the Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate (hereinafter defined); provided, however that the Inclusion Period shall not include that period for which assessment and collection of Federal Income Taxes attributable to interest on this Bond is barred by Section 6501 of the Internal Revenue Code. "Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate" is defined to mean the maximum rate of income taxation to which a corporation is subject under the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended, as in effect from time to time. Any change in the Maximum Federal Corporate Tax Rate which applies to the Inclusion Period shall automatically be reflected in the calculation of agreed liquidated damages. In addition, there shall be due and owing to the holder of this Bond an additional amount sufficient to reimburse the holder of this Bond for any interest or penalties which are payable by the holder of this Bond, plus the reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the holder of this Bond, in connection with any Determination of Taxability. The agreed liquidated damages, and reimbursement of interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses due and owing to the holder of this Bond in connection with a Determination of Taxability shall be paid by the Trustee with funds furnished by the User. IN ADDITION, if there shall be a Determination of Taxability, the User shall be obligated .to, and promptly shall, pay an additional amount to the Trustee for the sole benefit of (i) each prior registered owner of this Bond, if this Bond was transferred during the Inclusion Period prior to the mandatory redemption date described in the preceding paragraph or (ii) each registered owner of this Bond if this Bond was outstanding during the Inclusion Period but was paid, prepaid, or redeemed prior to the mandatory redemption date described in the preceding paragraph. Such payment shall be sufficient in the aggregate to pay in respect of this Bond the amount the owner thereof would have received as agreed liquidated damages if, and assuming that, the aforesaid mandatory redemption date had occurred on the actual date of payment, prepayment, transfer or redemption of this Bond. The User also shall be obligated to, and promptly shall, pay an additional amount to the Trustee, for the sole benefit of such owner or prior owner of this Bond, sufficient to reimburse such owner or prior owner of this Bond for interest or penalties, if any, which are payable by such owner or former owner of this Bond, plus the reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by such owner or former 15 • owner of this Bond, in connection with any Determination of Taxability. The Trustee shall pay such additional amounts to each such owner or former owner during the applicable period, as shown by the Bond Registration Books. ON ANY DATE, Bonds are subject to prepayment or redemption, in whole or in part and shall be prepaid or redeemed prior to the scheduled due dates by the Trustee, in inverse numerical order at a prepayment or redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof to be prepaid or redeemed plus accrued interest thereon to the date of prepayment or redemption, and without premium, with and to the extent of any surplus funds remaining in the Construc- tion Fund (created by the Initial Bond Resolution) after the completion of the Project, as provided and required by Section 16 of the Initial Bond Resolution. If a Bond is so prepaid or redeemed in part, then such prepayment shall be applied against the unpaid principal installments of such Bond in inverse chronological order of their scheduled due dates. THE AGREEMENT provides that any provision for any payment contained in the Agreement or this Bond shall be held to be subject to reduction to the amount allowed under the applicable usury laws of the State of Texas and the United States of America, as now or hereafter construed by the courts having jurisdiction, and it is agreed by the Issuer and the owner of this Bond that in no event shall usury be paid or collected with respect to this Bond. AT LEAST 20 DAYS PRIOR to the date fixed for any prepayment or redemption of the unpaid principal install- ments of the Bonds the Trustee shall cause a written notice of such redemption to be mailed to the registered owner of this Bond addressed to such owner at the address appearing on the Bond Registration Books. By the date fixed for any such prepayment or redemption, due provision shall be made by the User with the Trustee and the Paying Agent for the payment of the principal amount of this Bond which is to be prepaid or redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for prepayment or redemption, plus any required prepayment or redemption premium, and any other amounts including agreed liquidated damages, if any, due the owner of this Bond (herein collectively referred to as the "redemption price"). If such written notice of prepayment or redemption is given and if due provision for payment of the redemption price is made, all as provided above, the unpaid principal installments of the Bonds which are to be prepaid or redeemed thereby automatically shall be deemed to have been prepaid or redeemed prior to their scheduled due dates, and they shall not bear interest after the date fixed for prepayment or redemption, and they shall not be regarded 16 • • as being outstanding except for the right of the owner thereof to receive the redemption price from the Paying Agent out of the funds provided for such payment. Upon presentation of such Bonds to the Paying Agent, such unpaid principal installments which are to be prepaid or redeemed, shall be paid at the redemption price.

There shall be established within the Special Rebate Fund two separate accounts to be designated and known as the Deposit Account and the Earnings Account, respectively. (1) Payments into the Special Rebate Fund. The Trustee shall pay into the Earnings Account of the Special Rebate Fund, within twenty days after each successive anniversary of the date of issuance of each issue or series of Bonds, (A) out of amounts then available in the Deposit Account of the Special Rebate Fund and then (B) out of payments received from the User to the extent provided in Section 4.08 of the Agreement, an amount equal to the aggregate net income (determined by the User in accordance with federal income tax accounting principles) attributable to the amounts held in the Deposit Account (such income to be determined by the User without regard to transaction costs incurred in acquiring, carrying, selling or redeeming investments held therein, and without regard to whether such income or its recipient might not otherwise be subject to federal income taxation). Immediately following the payment into the Earnings Account, but in any event within twenty days after each successive anniversary date of each issue or series of Bonds, an amount equal to the excess of (A) 25 • • the Tentative Rebate Amount (as defined in the Agreement) determined by the User as of the related anniversary date over (B) the amount theretofore deposited into the Deposit Account, net of the Excess Deposits, as hereinafter defined (the "Excess Amount"), shall be transferred by the Trustee out of the Construction Fund into the Deposit Account of the Special Rebate Fund, provided that such transfer from the Construction Fund shall be made only to the extent the Excess Amount is attributable to earnings on investments of moneys held in the Construction Fund. In the event that the Excess Amount is determined by the User to be greater than the amount transferred from the Construction Fund, the Trustee shall, within such twenty days after each anniversary date, notify the User of the amount of the deficiency in the Deposit Account, and the User shall, within five days of the receipt of such notice, pay such deficiency to the Trustee for deposit in the Deposit Account pursuant to Section 4.08 of the Agreement. To the extent that, upon any anniversary date of the issuance of each issue or series of Bonds, the net amount theretofore deposited into the Deposit Account and not theretofore withdrawn pursuant to this paragraph exceeds the Tentative Rebate Amount determined as of such anniversary date (the "Excess Deposit"), such Excess Deposit in the Deposit Account shall be retained therein unless the Trustee shall have received instructions from the User that such Excess Deposit is either (i) to be transferred to the Debt Service Fund or (ii) to be paid directly to the User. The obligation to make payments to the Trustee for deposit into the Special Rebate Fund is a direct obligation of the User, and the Issuer shall have no obligation or duty with respect to the Special Rebate Fund. (2) Disbursement of the Special Rebate Fund. The amounts in the Special Rebate Fund shall be used solely for the payment to the United States of amounts described under Section 103(c)(6)(D) of the Code, and the Regulations, all as may be applicable to the Bonds. Such payment shall be made by the Trustee with funds provided by, and at the direction of, the User, in accordance with the requirements of Section 103(c)(6)(E) of the Code, and the Regulations, the first installment of such payment to be made within thirty days after the fifth anniversary of the date of issuance of each issue or series of Bonds, with each subsequent installment of such payment to be made 26 • • within five years of the making of the next preceding installment, and with the last installment of such payment to be made within thirty days after the final retirement of the Bonds. (4) Calculations of the User. All calculations and determinations required pursuant to this Section 7(g) shall be made by the User and communicated to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for, and shall incur no liability with respect to, any calculations or determinations made by the User hereunder, or payments made. (3) Exception to Application of this Subsection. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Section 7(g) shall not apply to the Trustee, the Issuer or the User if, (i) within 180 days from the date of delivery of the Bonds, all moneys in the Construction Fund are either (A) expended to finance the Project, or (B) expended to purchase and cancel, redeem or otherwise retire Bonds or (ii) the proceeds of the Bonds, including any investment earnings thereon, have been applied in a manner which, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds. (h) Investment of Funds. Any money held as part of the Debt Service Fund or Special Rebate Fund shall be invested or reinvested by the Trustee, upon the written direction of the Approving Officer in any direct or indirect obligations of the United States of America or any agency thereof, or in bank certificates of deposit, including those of the Trustee. The Trustee shall make no investments except as specifically directed by the Approving Officer, or as otherwise provided herein. The User agrees that it will not direct the Trustee to make any Prohibited Payment. The investments of the Debt Service Fund and the Special Rebate Fund shall be deemed to be a part of such Fund, and, for the purpose of determining the amount of money in such Fund, such investments shall be valued at their cost or market value, whichever is lower. The income and profits, includ- ing realized discount on obligations purchased, received from such investments shall be deposited in or credited to the Debt Service Fund and the Special Rebate Fund, and any losses on investments thereon shall be charged against the Debt Service Fund and the Special Rebate Fund. If at any time it shall become necessary that some or all of the investments made with the moneys from the applicable fund be redeemed or sold to raise moneys necessary to comply with the provisions of this Initial Bond Resolution or the Trust Indenture, the Trustee shall, without further authorization, 27 • effect such redemption or sale, employing, in the case of a sale, any commercially reasonable method of effecting the same. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment or resulting from the redemption or sale of any such investment as herein authorized; except that the Trustee shall be liable for (1) any loss resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, within a reasonable time after receiving the written direction from the Approving Officer to make, redeem, or sell any investment in the manner provided for herein, and (2) except for any redemption or sale made pursuant to the next preceding sentence of this paragraph, for any loss resulting from the making, redeeming, or selling of any investment which was not authorized by written direction of the Approving Officer. If the Trustee is unable, after reasonable effort and within a reasonable time, to make, redeem, or sell any such investment, it shall so notify in writing the Approving Officer and the Trustee shall be relieved of all responsibility with respect there- to. In the event of any such loss, the User shall make additional deposits to restore same if and to the extent required to enable the Trustee to make all payments required to be made from the applicable fund, and such additional deposits shall constitute additional amounts of Installment Loan Payments. (i) Restriction on Amount in Debt Service Fund. Amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund will not exceed the amount necessary to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds during the succeeding twelve-month period. The Debt Service Fund will be completely depleted at least once during each twelve-month period except for an amount that does not exceed the Gross Earnings (hereinafter defined) on the Debt Service Fund during the twelve-month period preceding such date of depletion. The Gross Earnings on the Debt Service Fund for any Bond Year (hereinafter defined) shall be less than $100,000. The term Gross Earnings means the aggregate amount earned on all investments acquired with or allocated to amounts on deposit in the Debt Service Fund including amounts earned on such amounts. The term Bond Year with respect to the Bonds means the one year period beginning on the day after the preceding Bond Year, and the first Bond Year begins on the closing date and ends one year later. Section 8. SECURITY FOR FUNDS. To the extent the Trustee deems it advisable, and at the sole discretion of the Trustee, all uninvested money in all Funds established pursuant to the Initial Bond Resolution (including the Debt Service Fund, the Special Rebate Fund and the Construction Fund), may be secured. 28 • • Section 9. THE USER'S PAYMENTS. (a) Unconditional Obligation. The User has covenanted in the Agreement, and, by the approval of this Initial Bond Resolution, the User further has unconditionally obligated itself and agreed, regardless of and notwithstanding any provisions of the Agreement, and regardless of the provisions of any other agreement or contract to the contrary, to make or pay, or cause to be made or paid, without set-off, recoupment, or counterclaim, the Installment Loan Payments to the Trustee in the amounts required by Section 7(c) to be made into the Debt Service Fund, and to make such payments on or before the dates specified in this Initial Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture; and said payments by the User shall be and constitute the Installment Loan Payments as contemplated and required by the Agreement.

(b) Prepayments. It is further understood that the User may prepay all or any part of each Installment Loan Payment, and any such prepayment, and any earnings thereon, shall be applied by the Trustee to the payment of each Installment Loan Payment; provided that the prepayment or redemption at any time of any unpaid principal installments of the Bonds prior to their due dates, with funds from any source (whether from Installment Loan Payments or other- wise), shall not relieve the User of its obligation to make or pay, or cause to be made or paid, each Installment Loan Payment as specified in Section 9(a), when due with respect to any remaining unpaid principal installments of the Bonds. Section 10. ADDITIONAL PARITY BONDS. (a) Additional Bonds. The Issuer reserves the right, upon the request of the User, to issue additional parity revenue bonds ("Addi- tional Bonds") in any amounts, for any lawful purpose or purposes, including the refunding of any outstanding Bonds. Such Additional Bonds, along with the Bonds authorized by this Initial Bond Resolution, shall be considered, consti- tute, and be "Bonds" as defined in, and for all purposes of, the Agreement and the Trust Indenture. Furthermore, for all purposes of this Initial Bond Resolution, the term "Bonds" shall mean and include the Bonds authorized hereby and any Additional Bonds, unless the context otherwise indicates. When issued and delivered such Additional Bonds, the redemp- tion premium, if any, the agreed liquidated damages, if any, the interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses, if any, required to be reimbursed in connection with a Determination of Taxability, and the interest thereon, shall be payable from the Debt Service Fund, and shall be payable from and secured by a first lien on and pledge of Installment Loan Payments pursuant to the Agreement, and 29 • • secured by the Trust Indenture and the Deed of Trust, and the Security Agreement in the same manner and to the same extent as, and be on a parity with, all then outstanding Bonds and Additional Bonds. Such Additional Bonds may be issued in one or more series or issues, in various principal amounts, maturing at different times, bearing interest at different rates, be payable in installments or otherwise be redeemable prior to maturity, with or without redemption premium, on whatever terms or prices, and may contain such other provisions as may be provided in any Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of such Additional Bonds. It is provided, however, that no series or issue of Additional Bonds shall be issued unless: (i) In the opinion of Bond Counsel (A) the issuance of such Additional Bonds will not adversely affect the exemption from federal income taxation of the interest on the then outstanding Bonds and Addi= tional Bonds, or affect the validity of the then outstanding Bonds or Additional Bonds and (B) such Additional Bonds are secured in the same manner and to the same extent as and are on a parity with all then outstanding Bonds and Additional Bonds; (ii) A certificate is executed by the President and Secretary of the Board of Directors of the Issuer to the effect that no default exists in connection with the Bonds or the Trust Indenture (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or with any of the covenants or requirements of this Initial Bond Resolution or the Bond Resolutions (or any amendments or supplements thereto) authorizing the issuance of all then out- standing Bonds and Additional Bonds, and that the Debt Service Fund contains the amount then required to be on deposit therein; (iii) The Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of such series or issue of Additional Bonds provides for additional Installment Loan Payments to be depos- ited into the Debt Service Fund in amounts sufficient to pay all principal of, redemption premium, if any, agreed liquidated damages, if any, interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses required to be reimbursed in connection with a Determination of Taxability, and interest on such Additional Bonds, together with all Trustee, Registrar, and Paying Agent fees and expenses attributable to such Additional Bonds; (iv) The Approving Officer and the owners of 67% of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds and Additional Bonds, if any, then outstanding, approve in writing the Bond Resolution authorizing the issuance of 30 • such series or issue of Additional Bonds, as required by the Agreement; (v) The principal and interest payment dates during any year in which principal and interest on such Additional Bonds are scheduled to be paid, are the same for the Additional Bonds and the Bonds; and (vi) The Commission expressly gives its prior approval to the issuance of such Additional Bonds. (b) Amendments to Trust Indenture Unnecessary. It shall not be necessary or required that the Trust Indenture be amended or supplemented to cause any series or issue of Additional Bonds to be secured by the Trust Indenture. All that shall be necessary or required to cause any such Addi- tional Bonds to be secured by the Trust Indenture is for the Issuer to deliver to the Trustee a certified copy of the Bond Resolution authorizing their issuance prior to the delivery of such Additional Bonds. Section 11. SPECIAL COVENANTS. The Issuer further covenants as follows: (a) Installment Loan Payments Pledged to Bonds Only. Other than for the payment of the Bonds, as provided in this Initial Bond Resolution and the Trust Indenture, the In- stallment Loan Payments have not in any manner been pledged to the payment of any debt or obligation of the Issuer; (b) Non -Encumbrance. While any of the Bonds are out- standing, the Issuer will not (except with respect to the Bonds and any Additional Bonds and except as provided in the Agreement, any Bond Resolution, or the Trust Indenture) in any manner whatsoever create, assume, or suffer to exist, directly or indirectly, any mortgage, lien, encumbrance, pledge, or charge against the Debt Service Fund, the In- stallment Loan Payments, the Construction Fund, or any property or moneys deposited with the Trustee; (c) Performance by Issuer. The Issuer will carry out all of its covenants and obligations under this Initial Bond Resolution; and the Issuer may be required to carry out such covenants and obligations by all legal and equitable means, including, but without limitation, actions for specific per- formance and the use and filing of mandamus proceedings, in any court of competent jurisdiction located in Nueces County, Texas, against the Issuer, its Board of Directors, and its officials and employees; and (d) Certain Modifications Prohibited. The Issuer covenants and agrees that it will not execute or permit the 31 • execution of any contract or agreement, or terminate or amend the Agreement, in any manner that would relieve or abrogate the obligations of the User to make or pay, or cause to be made or paid, when due, all Installment Loan Payments, in the manner and to the extent required by the Agreement, this Initial Bond Resolution, and the Trust Indenture, or which would change or affect Sections 4.04, 4.05, 4.06, 5.05, 6.01 and 6.02 of the Agreement without the written consent of all of the Bondholders and the Trustee. Section 12. BONDS ARE SPECIAL OBLIGATIONS. The Bonds are and shall be special revenue obligations of the Issuer payable solely from payments to be made under the Agreement, this Initial Bond Resolution, the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement, and the Trust Indenture; and the Bondholders shall never have the right to demand payment thereof or the interest thereon or any other payments required thereunder out of funds raised or to be raised by taxation, or from any source whatsoever other than the foregoing.

Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of the proposed amendment and shall state that a copy thereof is on file at the principal office of the Trustee for inspection by all owners of Bonds. Such publication is not required, however, if notice in writing is given to each owner of Bonds.

Any consent given by a Bondholder pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be irrevocable for a period of one year from the date of the first publication or other giving of the notice provided for in this Section, and shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond during such period. Such consent may be revoked at any time after one year from the date of the first publication or other giving of such notice by the Bondholder who gave such consent, or by a successor in title, by filing notice thereof with the Trustee and the Issuer, but such revocation shall not be effective if the owners of 51% in the aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds have, prior to the attempted revocation, consented to and approved the amendment. (f) Ownership of Bonds. For the purpose of this Section, the fact of being a Bondholder and the amount and numbers of such Bonds, and the date of being a Bondholder, may be conclusively presumed, or may be proved by an affi- davit satisfactory to the Issuer and the Trustee of the person claiming to be such Bondholder, or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker, or any other depository wherever situated showing that at the date there- in mentioned such person has on deposit with such trust company, bank, banker, or other depository, the Bonds des- cribed in such certificate, or in any other manner, whether or not the Bonds are so deposited, as the Trustee may ap- prove. The Issuer may conclusively presume that the status of any Bondholders will continue until written notice to the contrary is served upon the Issuer. (g) Amendments Without Consent. Notwithstanding the provisions of (a) through (f) of this Section, and without publication of the proposed amendment and without the con- sent of the Bondholders, but subject to approval of the Approving Officer and, in the case of any amendment to the Trust Indenture, with the approval of the Trustee, the 34 • • Issuer may, at any time, amend any Bond Resolution, or the Trust Indenture, to cure any ambiguity or cure, correct, or supplement any defective or inconsistent provision contained therein, or make any other change that does not in any respect materially and adversely affect the interest of the Bondholders, provided that no such amendment shall be made contrary to the proviso to Section 13(a), and a duly certi- fied or executed copy of each such amendment shall be filed with the Trustee. Section 14. ESTABLISHMENT OF CONSTRUCTION FUND. (a) Deposit of Bond Proceeds into Construction Fund. Prior to or immediately after the sale and delivery of the Bonds authorized hereby, the Issuer shall establish the Construc- tion Fund with the Trustee, as defined in and required by the Agreement. The Issuer shall deposit all of the proceeds from the sale and delivery of the Bonds authorized hereby into the Construction Fund. The Trustee shall draw on and use the Construction Fund as hereinafter provided. The amount so deposited into the Construction Fund shall consti- tute the Loan made to the User by the Issuer as contemplated and provided in the Agreement. (b) Investment of Money in Construction Fund. Any money held as part of the Construction Fund, other than the amounts described in Section 15(a), shall be invested or reinvested by the Trustee upon the written direction of the Approving Officer in any direct or indirect obligations of the United States of America, or any agency thereof, or in the bank certificates of deposit, including those of the Trustee. The Trustee shall make no investments except as specifically directed in writing by the Approving Officer or as otherwise provided herein. The investments of the Construction Fund shall be deemed to be a part of the Construction Fund, and for the purpose of determining the amount of money in the Construction Fund, such investments shall be valued at their cost or market value, whichever is lower. The income and profits, including realized discount on obligations purchased, received from such investments shall be deposited in or credited to the Construction Fund, and any losses on investments shall be charged against the Construction Fund. If at any time it shall become necessary that some or all of the investments made with the moneys from the Construction Fund be redeemed or sold to raise moneys necessary to comply with the provisions of this Initial Bond Resolution or the Trust Indenture, the Trustee shall, without further authorization, effect such redemption or sale, employing, in the case of a sale, any commercially reasonable method of effecting the same. Upon the written direction of the Approving Officer the Trustee shall redeem or sell all or any designated part of such investments employing, in the case of a sale, any commercially 35 • • reasonable method of effecting the same. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss resulting from the redemption or sale of any such investment as herein authorized; except that (notwithstanding any provisions of the Agreement) the Trustee shall be liable for: (1) any loss resulting from its gross negligence or willful misconduct, within a reasonable time after receiving the written direction from the Approving Officer, to make, redeem, or sell any investment in the manner provided for herein, and (2) any loss resulting from the making, redeem- ing, or selling of any investment which was not authorized by written direction of the Approving Officer. If the Trustee is unable, after reasonable effort and within a reasonable time after receipt of the required written direction, to make, redeem, or sell any such investment, it shall so notify in writing the Approving Officer, and the Trustee shall be relieved of all liability or responsibility with respect thereto. (c) Deposit of Accrued Interest, Income, and Profits. Any accrued interest received from the sale of the Bonds; and, upon the written direction of the Approving Officer and to the extent that such use is consistent with the require- ments of Section 15(b)(v), all income and profits received from the investment of the Construction Fund, shall (as soon as practicable after any receipt thereof has been deposited in or credited to the Construction Fund) be transferred by the Trustee and deposited into the Debt Service Fund to be used to pay interest on the Bonds during the period of construction of the Project. (d) Expenditure of Money in the Construction Fund. All amounts held in the Construction Fund shall, as of the third anniversary date of the date of delivery of the Bonds, be either (1) expended to finance the Project, (2) applied to purchase and cancel, redeem or otherwise retire Bonds or (3) applied in a manner which, in the opinion of Bond Counsel, will not adversely affect the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds. Section 15. PAYMENTS FROM CONSTRUCTION FUND. (a) Issuer's and Trustee's Administrative Overhead Expenses and Other Costs. Immediately after the delivery of the Bonds authorized hereby, the Trustee shall pay to the Issuer directly out of the Construction Fund the amount of $27,850 being the amount required to reimburse the Issuer in part for its administrative and overhead expenses directly attributable and chargeable to the costs of issuance of the Bonds authorized hereby, and, promptly after receiving the bills or statements therefor, all of the actual expenses and costs of issuance of the Bonds, including, without limitation, financing charges, printing and engraving 36 expenses, the fees and expenses of accountants, financial advisors, and attorneys for the Issuer and the Trustee, and the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee. In addition, the User shall also pay to the Issuer the amounts set forth in Section 4.07 of the Agreement when said amounts become due and payable. (b) Reimbursement for and Payment of Cost of Project. Subject and subordinate to making the payments required by the preceding paragraph, the Trustee shall make an initial payment, if requested by the User, in writing, and authorized by MBank Corpus Christi, N.A., pursuant to the Construction Fund Disbursement Agreement dated December, 1, 1985 executed between the User and MBank Corpus Christi, N.A., in its capacity as initial purchaser of the Bonds in the manner described below for payments from the Construction Fund, to reimburse the User for any Cost of the Project, paid by the User prior to such date of delivery. The Trustee shall make such initial payment, if so authorized and requested, and shall make any subsequent payments from the Construction Fund to enable the User to pay, or to reimburse the User for paying, any Cost of the Project, from time to time upon receipt by the Trustee of both a written request of the User and a written authorization from MBank Corpus Christi, N.A., pursuant to said Construction Fund Disbursement Agreement. Such request shall be accompanied by a certificate stating with respect to each payment as follows: (i) the expenditures, in summary form, for which payment is to be made or for which reimbursement is requested; (ii) that the amounts requested are to be, or have been paid, by the User for interest during construction (and for a period not exceeding one (1) year there- after), property or to contractors, subcontractors, materialmen, engineers, architects, or other persons who will perform or have performed necessary or appro- priate services or will supply or have supplied neces- sary or appropriate materials for the acquisition, construction, equipping, and furnishing of the Project, as the case may be, and that, to the best of his knowledge, the fair value of such interest, property, services, or materials is not exceeded by the amounts requested to be paid; (iii) that no part of the several amounts requested to be paid to the User, as stated in such certificate, has been or is the basis for the payment of any money in any previous or then pending request; 37 • • (iv) that the payment of the amounts requested will not result in a breach of any of the covenants of the User contained in the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement, or the Agreement, and particularly those covenants in Sections 4.05 and 4.06 of the Agreement, which relate to the Code and the Regulations; and (v) that the expenditure of such amounts to be paid, when added to all previous disbursements from the Construction Fund, will result in at least 90% of the total of such disbursements, other than disbursements for issuance expenses, being used to provide land or property of a character subject to the allowance for depreciation under the Code (which expenditures are amounts paid or incurred which are, for federal income tax purposes, chargeable to the Project's capital account or would be so chargeable either with a proper election by the User [for example, under Section 266 of the Code] or but for a proper election by the User to deduct such amounts). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the User shall not requisition from the Construction Fund any amounts in excess of $ to finance the cost of land or any interest thereon. (c) Reliance by Trustee. The Trustee shall rely fully on any such request and certificate delivered pursuant to this Section and shall not be required to make any investi- gation in connection therewith. If amounts paid by the Trustee with respect to any portion of the Project should exceed the cost thereof, the User shall promptly repay such overpayment into the Construction Fund. (d) Transfers to Special Rebate Fund. Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, the Trustee is hereby authorized to transfer to the Special Rebate Fund the amount described in Section 7(g)(1) hereof. Section 16. SURPLUS CONSTRUCTION FUNDS. (a) Disposi- tion of Surplus Funds. The completion of the Project shall be conclusively evidenced, and the date of completion shall be established by a written certificate of completion to be signed by the Approving Officer and delivered to the Trustee immediately upon completion of the Project. If, upon the completion of the Project, there shall be any surplus funds remaining in the Construction Fund not required to provide for the payment of the Cost of the Project, or if any funds are on hand in the Construction Fund at the time of the release of the Trust Indenture under the terms thereof, then any such funds shall be used immediately to prepay or redeem the Bonds, in inverse numerical order, in the manner set forth in the FORM OF BOND in Section 5 for the prepayment or redemption of the Bonds with surplus Construction Fund 38 • • moneys, to the extent of any such available funds; provided that prior to such use, the Issuer and the Trustee shall have been furnished with an unqualified opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that the use of moneys from the Construction Fund for such purpose will be lawful and will not impair the exemption of interest on the Bonds from federal income taxation. (b) Disposition of Construction Fund upon Acceleration and Redemption. If the Trustee shall declare the principal of the Bonds and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable as the result of an Event of Default speci- fied in the Trust Indenture, or if the Bonds are optionally or mandatorily redeemed prior to maturity as a whole in accordance with their terms, any amounts remaining in the Construction Fund shall be transferred to the Deposit Account of the Special Rebate Fund to the extent that the amount therein is less than the Tentative Rebate Amount computed by the User as of the date of such acceleration or redemption and the balance of such amount shall be transferred immediately by the Trustee to the Debt Service Fund for the purpose of paying principal of, redemption premium, if any, agreed liquidated damages, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. Section 17. DAMAGED, MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN, OR DESTROYED BONDS. (a) Replacement Bonds. In the event any of the outstanding Bonds authorized hereby is damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate, a new bond of the same principal amount and maturity of the damaged, mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond in exchange and substitution for such Bond or in lieu of and substitution for such Bond. (b) Application for Substitute Bonds. Application for exchange and substitution of damaged, mutilated, lost stolen, or destroyed Bonds shall be made to the Issuer. In every case, the applicant for a substitute bond shall furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and the Paying Agent harmless. In every case of loss, theft, or destruction of a Bond, the applicant shall also furnish to the Issuer and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the loss, theft, or destruction, and of the ownership of such Bond. In every case of damage or mutila- tion of a Bond, the applicant shall surrender the Bond so damaged or mutilated. (c) No Default Occurred. Notwithstanding the forego- ing provisions of this Section, in the event any such Bond shall have matured, and no default has occurred which is 39 • then continuing in the payment of the principal of, redemp- tion premium, if any, agreed liquidated damages, if any, interest,penalties, reasonable costs and expenses, if any, required to be reimbursed in connection with a Determination of Taxability, or interest on the Bond, the Issuer may authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a damaged or mutilated Bond) instead of issuing a substitute Bond, provided security or indemnity is furnished as above provided in this Section. (d) Charge for Issuing Substitute Bonds. Prior to the issuance of any substitute bond, the Issuer and the Trustee may charge the owner of such Bond with all legal, printing, and other expenses in connection therewith. Every substi- tute bond issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Bond is lost, stolen, or destroyed shall constitute a contractual obligation of the Issuer whether or not the lost, stolen, or destroyed Bond shall be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of the Trust Indenture and this Initial Bond Resolution equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds duly issued under this Initial Bond Resolution. (e) Authority for Issuing Substitute Bonds. This Ini- tial Bond Resolution shall constitute sufficient authority for the issuance of any such substitute bonds without neces- sity of further action by the Board of Directors of the Issuer or any other body or person, and the issuance of such substituted bonds is hereby authorized, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Initial Bond Resolution, except to the extent otherwise required by law. Section 18. NO ARBITRAGE. The Issuer and the User have covenanted to and with the purchasers of the Bonds that they will make no use of the direct, indirect or gross proceeds thereof at any time throughout the term thereof which would through the application of Section 103(c) of the Code, cause the Bonds to be treated as obligations which are not described in Section 103(a) of the Code; and by this covenant the Issuer and the User are obligated to comply with the requirements of the aforesaid Section 103(c) of the Code and all applicable and pertinent Regulations relating to arbitrage bonds. Section 19. FINDINGS. Based upon the representations made by the User in the Agreement, the Board of Directors hereby affirmatively finds that (i) the Project is suitable for the promotion of commercial, industrial or manufacturing development and expansion, (ii) the Project will have a direct, positive and favorable impact on employment in the 40 • • Governmental Unit, and (iii) that the Project is in further- ance of the public purposes as set forth in the Act. Section 20. SALE OF THE BONDS. At the specific request of the User, the Bonds are hereby authorized to be sold, and shall be delivered to MBank Corpus Christi N.A., Corpus Christi, Texas, for the price of par and any accrued interest to the date of payment and delivery.

(a) On each date upon which each Installment Loan Payment is required by each Bond Resolution to be deposited into the Debt Service Fund, the Trustee shall give telephonic notice to the User, (confirmed in writing by hand delivery or first class mail, postage prepaid, at such address as the User shall from time to time designate and file in writing with the Trustee), of the amount, if any, of each Installment Loan Payment required by each Bond Resolution to be made by the User to the Trustee and deposited by the Trustee into the Debt Service Fund on such date. The written notice shall give a brief statement of the manner in which the amount due was calculated, including a showing of all credits on account of available moneys in the Debt Service Fund. The failure of the Trustee to give, or the User to receive, any such notice shall not relieve the User of its unconditional duty and obligation to timely make all deposits or payments of Installment Loan Payments to the Trustee as required by the Agreement and each Bond Resolution, and the Trustee shall incur no liabil- ity for the failure to give such notice. Article 4. ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS (a) Separate Records to be Kept. The Trustee shall keep proper books of records and accounts, separate from all other records and accounts, in which complete and correct entries shall be made of all transactions relating to the Installment Loan Payments, the Debt Service Fund, Special Rebate Fund and the Construction Fund. (b) Annual Report. Within 60 days after the anniver- sary date of this Trust Indenture, the Trustee will furnish 4 • • to the Issuer, the User and any owner of any outstanding Bonds who may so request, a copy of a report by the Trustee covering the year preceding such anniversary date, showing the following information: (1) a detailed statement concerning the receipt and disposition of all Installment Loan Payments and the disposition of the amounts in the Construction Fund (until the Construction Fund shall have been fully disposed of). (2) an asset statement or balance sheet of the Debt Service Fund and of the Construction Fund (until the Construction Fund shall have been fully disposed of). (c) Right to Inspect. The Issuer, the User and the owners of any Bonds shall have the right, at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice, to inspect all records, accounts, and data of the Trustee relating to the Debt Service Fund, Special Rebate Fund and the Construction Fund. (d) Special Rebate Fund Records. The Trustee shall maintain a record of the periodic determinations by the User of the Tentative Rebate Amount for a period beginning on the first anniversary date of the issuance of the Bonds and ending on the date 6 years after the final retirement of the Bonds. Such record shall state each such anniversary date and shall include a summary prepared by the User, of the manner in which the Tentative Rebate Amount, if any, was determined. In addition, at least thirty days prior to each such anniversary date the Trustee shall give the User written notice requesting that the User make the determination, payments and notices required by Section 7(g) of the Initial Bond Resolution. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of this paragraph (d) shall not be applicable if the Construction Fund is fully depleted within 180 days from the date of issuance and delivery of the Bonds. The Trustee shall not be responsible for and shall incur no liability with respect to, any calculations or determinations made by the User with respect to the Special Rebate Fund or the Tentative Rebate Amount. Article 5. ENFORCEMENT OF RIGHTS IN CASE OF DEFAULT. (a) Appointment of the Trustee and Rights of the Holder. The Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the special agent and representative of the owners of the Bonds and vested with full power in their behalf to effect and enforce the Agreement, this Trust Indenture, and the Bond Resolution for their benefit as provided herein and in the Bond Resolu- tion; but, subject to the mandatory provisions of Article 5(d), the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount 5 • • of the Bonds then outstanding, in case of any subsisting Event of Default (hereinafter defined) or of any other event entitling the Trustee to proceed hereunder, shall have the right from time to time to direct and control the Trustee in connection with the enforcement of any of the provisions of the Agreement, this Trust Indenture, and the Bond Resolu- tion, and any other proceedings taken by virtue of any provisions of the aforesaid instruments, including the right to have withdrawn and discontinued at any stage thereof any proceedings taken hereunder by the Trustee. Anything contained in this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwith- standing, each owner of any Bond shall have a right of action to enforce the payment of all amounts due with respect to any Bond owned by him when or after the same shall have become due, at the place, from the sources, and in the manner expressed in the Agreement, the Bond Resolu- tion, or this Trust Indenture; provided that no right of action shall exist subsequent to the time of waiver of an Event of Default in the payment of any such amount so due and such Event of Default having been remedied and made good, as provided in Article 5(g). (b) Control by Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in this Article, including specifically subsections (a) and (g) hereof, the rights of action with respect to this Trust Indenture shall be exercised by the Trustee and no owner of any Bond shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or equity for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder or by reason hereof unless and until in addition to the fulfillment of all other conditions precedent specified in this Trust Indenture, the Trustee shall have received the written request of the owners of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and shall have been offered reasonable indemnity and shall have refused, or for 30 days thereafter neglected, to institute such suit, action, or proceeding; and it is hereby declared that the making of such request and the furnishing of such indemnity are in each case conditions precedent to the execution and enforcement by any owner of any Bond of the powers and remedies given to the Trustee hereunder and to the institution and maintenance by any owner of any Bond of any action or cause of action for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy hereunder; but the Trustee may, in its discretion, or when duly requested in writing by the owners of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding and upon being furnished indemni- ty satisfactory to the Trustee against expenses, charges, and liability shall, forthwith take such appropriate action by judicial proceedings or otherwise to enforce the cove- nants of the User, and the Issuer as the Trustee may deem expedient in the interest of the owners of the Bonds. 6 • (c) Events of Default. Any one or more of the follow- ing events shall constitute and hereinafter shall be called an "Event of Default": (1) the failure by the Issuer to make due and punctual payment of principal of, redemption premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, whether payment is required at maturity or by call for redemption or otherwise; provided, however, that if such failure shall arise other than by reason of a default by the User under the Bond Resolution and the Agreement, the continuation of such failure for three days after receipt of written notice of such failure from the Trustee. (2) the failure of the User to make or pay, or cause to be made or paid, any Installment Loan Payment, or any part thereof, when and to the extent due and required by the Agreement or the Bond Resolution and the continuation of such failure for three days after receipt of written notice of such failure from the Trustee. (3) the dissolution or liquidation of the User, or a disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of User, or a sale, transfer or other disposition of the Project by User, in any manner not specifically authorized by the Agreement. (4) the failure by the User promptly to lift or suspend any execution, garnishment, or attachment of such consequence as will materially impair its ability to carry out its obligations under the Agreement or the Bond Resolution, or failure of the User generally to pay its debts as they become due.

(6) the User defaulting in the observance or performance of any other of its covenants, conditions, or obligations in the Bonds, the Agreement, the Bond 7 • • Resolution, or this Trust Indenture, and the User not remedying such default within 15 days after written notice to do so has been received by the User from the Trustee or the owners of the Bonds; and the Trustee may serve such notice, in its discretion, or shall serve such notice at the written request of the owners of not less than 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding. (7) receipt by the Trustee of notice from MBank Corpus Christi, N.A., of the occurrence of a default or an event of default under the Deed of Trust or any Security Agreement.

(9) receipt by the Trustee of notice from MBank Corpus Christi, N.A., that the User has defaulted in the observance or performance of its covenants or obligations under the Bond Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 1, 1985, between MBank Corpus Christi, N.A. and the User. (d) Declaration of Principal and Interest Due. (1) Upon the happening of an Event of Default, the Trustee may, in its discretion, or upon the written request of the owners of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, and upon being indemnified to the satis- faction of the Trustee, shall, by notice in writing deliv- ered to the Issuer and the User, declare the principal of all Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and inter- est, together with any applicable agreed liquidated damages, and any applicable redemption premium, and any other amounts then due, shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, anything in the Bonds, the Agreement, the Bond Resolution, or this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwith- standing. (2) Upon the happening of an Event of Default speci- fied in Article 5(c)(7), (8), or (9), the Trustee shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Issuer and the User, immediately declare the principal of all Bonds then out- standing and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest, together with any applicable agreed liquidated damages, and any applicable 8 • redemption premium, and any other amounts then due, shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable, any- thing in the Bonds, the Agreement, the Bond Resolution or this Trust Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding.

(f) Remedies Non -Exclusive. No remedy herein con- ferred upon or reserved to the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or under the Agreement, the Bonds or the Bond Resolution, or now and hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon the happening of an Event of Default continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein, and every such right and power may be exercised from time to time and so often as may be deemed expedient. (g) Waiver of Defaults. Subject to the mandatory provisions of Article 5(d), the Trustee may, and upon the written request of the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding shall, waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences. In case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the User, the Trustee and the owners of the Bonds shall be restored to their former position and rights hereunder respectively, but such 9 • waiver shall not extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. (h) Discretion of Trustee. In the event the Trustee shall receive conflicting or inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of owners of Bonds, each representing less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, the Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action, if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Trust Indenture. (i) Application of Moneys. Except as hereinafter provided, all money collected by the Trustee pursuant to the exercise of the remedies and powers provided in this Article, together with all other sums which then may be held by the Trustee under any provision of this Trust Indenture, the Agreement, the Security Agreement, or the Deed of Trust as security for the Bonds, shall be applied as follows: FIRST: to the payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings whereunder such money was collected, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys, and all other necessary or proper expenses, liabilities, and advances incurred or made by the Trustee under this Trust Indenture, and to the payment of all taxes, assessments, and liens superior to the lien of this Trust Indenture. SECOND: to the payment of matured interest on the Bonds, including, to the extent legally permissible, interest thereon at the rate of 15% per annum from due date to date of payment. THIRD: to the payment of principal of the Bonds which have matured as provided thereby, and interest thereon, to the extent legally permissible, at the rate of 15% per annum from the date of maturity to date of payment. FOURTH: to the payment of principal of the Bonds which have been called for redemption as permitted or required by the Bond Resolution, the redemption premium, if any, the agreed liquidated damages, if any, on such Bonds, the interest, penalties, reasonable costs and expenses, if any, incurred by the holders or former holders of such Bonds in connection with a Determination of Taxability as set forth in the Bonds, and interest thereon, to the extent legally permissible, at the rate of 15% per annum from the date of redemption to date of payment. 10 • • FIFTH: to the payment of principal of the Bonds which have become due by virtue of the declaration of the Trustee pursuant to Article 5(d), and interest thereon, to the extent legally permissible, at the rate of 15% per annum from the date declared due to date of payment. SIXTH: to the payment of the surplus, if any, to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If in making distribution pursuant to the order above stated, the amount available for distribution in a particular classification shall be insufficient to pay in full all of the items in such classification, the amount available for distribution to items in such classification shall be prorated among such items in the proportion that the amount each item bears to the total of all such items. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Trust Indenture to the contrary, if the Trustee shall declare the principal of all Bonds then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable as the result of an Event of Default, or if the Bonds are to be redeemed as a whole pursuant to mandatory redemption provisions provided in the Bond Resolution, or if the User shall exercise any option to redeem the Bonds as a whole in accordance with their terms, any amounts remaining in the Construction Fund shall be deposited in the Debt Service Fund and applied by the Trustee as provided in this subsection (i) . (j) Judicial Proceedings. In any judicial proceeding in which the Issuer is a party and which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel, has a substantial bearing on the interests of the owners of the Bonds, the Trustee, if permitted by the court having jurisdiction over such pro- ceeding, may, in its discretion, or upon the written request of the owners of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, and upon being indemnified to the satisfaction of the Trustee, shall, intervene on behalf of the owners of the Bonds to assert the rights of such owners. (k) Enforcement of Remedies Without Possession of Bonds. All rights of action or other rights under this Trust Indenture or otherwise may be brought by the Trustee in its own name as Trustee of an express trust and may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Bonds or the production thereof on the trial or other proceedings relative thereto. 11 • • (1) Direction by 67% in Principal Amount of Bondholders. Subject to the mandatory provisions of Article 5(d), it is expressly provided, however, that the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, or a committee representing, pursuant to a written appointment filed with the Trustee, the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding, shall have the right, at any time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the Trustee's rights and remedies under the Agreement or the rights of the owners of the Bonds or the Trustee's rights and remedies under the Bond Resolution and this Trust Indenture, and may exercise any right or perform any action hereunder, with the same effect as the Trustee under this Trust Indenture, provided, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Trust Indenture, and provided that the Trustee shall be indemnified to its satisfaction. (m) Notice By Trustee. The Trustee shall not be re- quired to take notice nor be deemed to have notice of any default specified in this Trust Indenture, except for those Events of Default specified in Article 5(c)(1) (2), (7), (8) and (9), unless specifically notified in writing of such default by the owners of at least 51% in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then outstanding. (n) Concurrence of Bondholders. In determining whether the owners of a requisite aggregate principal amount of Bonds outstanding have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, or waiver under this Trust Indenture or the Bond Resolution, Bonds owned by or for the account of the User or any person controlled by, controlling, or under common control of the User shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination; provided however, that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, or waiver, only Bonds of which the Trustee has actual knowledge of such ownership shall be so disregarded. (o) Default of Payments. In the event of a default in the payment of any Installment Loan Payment, or in the per- formance of any agreement or covenant contained in the Bonds, the Agreement, the Bond Resolution, or this Trust Indenture, such payment and performance may be enforced by the Trustee by mandamus, specific performance, or by the appointment of a receiver (in equity with power to charge 12 • and collect Installment Loan Payments) in accordance with the Agreement, the Bond Resolution and this Trust Indenture. (p) Notice to User and Issuer of Past Due Payments. Pursuant to the Agreement, Installment Loan Payments are to be paid by the User directly to the Trustee. In the event that any such payments are not timely made, the Trustee shall immediately notify the User and the Issuer by mail at the addresses provided in the Agreement or by telephonic notice with confirmation of such notice by mail, that payment has not been made. Such notice shall be deemed given at the time the mail is received or telephonic notice is given, whichever is earlier. Failure of the Trustee to give, or the User to receive, such notice shall not relieve the User of any covenant or obligation under the Agreement, the Bond Resolution or this Trust Indenture and shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default under this Trust Indenture. (q) Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Trust Indenture, the Bond Resolution, the Agreement, the Security Agreement or the Deed of Trust, except as set forth below the User shall in no event be liable for a monetary judgment (except with respect to an action brought by the Issuer or the Trustee against the User based on fraud or intentional misrepresentation, or any action based on conversion, misappropriation, or the disposition of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award in breach of provisions of the Deed of Trust, or an action brought by Indemnified Parties or the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.06 or 5.05 of the Agreement or Article 13 hereof). Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, in the event of default under any of the aforementioned documents the Issuer, the Trustee, the trustee under the Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement, and/or the Bondholders may look to the funds created by the Bond Resolution and to the security provided by the Deed of Trust, the Security Agreement or any other security agreement executed by the User in connection with the Loan and to the guarantee of any obligation contained in any guarantee agreement or the Guarantee Agreement between the Trustee and the guarantors named therein dated as of December 1, 1985, and any amendments or supplements thereto) to enforce the payment of any indebtedness arising under the aforementioned documents. Nothing contained in this subparagraph shall be deemed to constitute a release or impairment of the indebtedness or obligations under this Trust Indenture, the Bond Resolution, the Agreement, or of the lien of the Deed of Trust or Security Agreement upon the property encumbered thereby, or of the obligations of any guarantor under any guarantee agreement or agreements executed in connection with the Loan or given in favor of 13 • the Bondholders, the Issuer, the Trustee, and/or the trustee named under the Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement (including without limitation the aforesaid Guarantee Agreement and any amendments or supplements thereto), and nothing contained in this subparagraph shall preclude the Issuer, the Trustee, the trustee under the Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement and/or any Bondholder from foreclosing the Deed of Trust, or the Security Agreement lien in case of any default under this Trust Indenture, the Bond Resolution, the Agreement, the Deed of Trust or the Security Agreement or from enforcing any of the other rights of the Issuer, the Trustee, the trustee under the Deed of Trust or Security Agreement, or the Bondholders, except as expressly limited by this subparagraph. Article 6. CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE. The Trustee accepts the trust imposed upon it by this Trust Indenture, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions: (a) Not Accountable for Bond Proceeds. In no event shall the Trustee be liable except for its gross negligence or willful misconduct in relation to its duties under this Trust Indenture and the Bond Resolution. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recitals herein, in the Bonds, the Bond Resolution, the Agreement, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds. The Trustee shall have no responsibility hereunder except to the extent of the duties placed upon the Trustee to hold, administer, deposit, secure, invest, and use the Debt Service Fund and the Construction Fund as expressly required by the Bond Resolu- tion, to the extent funds for such purposes are received by the Trustee, and to perform the other express covenants and agreements made by the Trustee under the provisions of this Trust Indenture and the Bond Resolution. The Trustee acknowledges that under the Bond Resolution, the User shall not requisition any amounts in excess of $ for the Cost of the Project relating to the acquisition of land. (b) Reliance by Trustee. The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the provisions of this Trust Indenture and the Bond Resolution upon any notice, requisition, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram, or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and the Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an owner of Bonds or to take any action at his request, unless the Bond or Bonds owned by such owner of Bonds shall be deposited with the Trustee, be registered in the name of such owner on the Bond Registration Books kept by the Trustee, or submitted to it for inspection. Any 14 • action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Trust Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request, or giving such authority or consent, is the owner of any Bond secured hereby, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and of Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof. (c) Compensation of Trustee from Debt Service Fund. There shall be paid from the Debt Service Fund the Trustee's reasonable compensation, and its reasonable expenses, ad- vances, and fees of its counsel, engineers, accountants and other experts, and its liabilities incurred in and about the execution of the trusts hereby created and the exercise and performance of the powers and duties of the Trustee here- under (except liabilities incurred as a result of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee, or as provided in the Bond Resolution), and the reasonable cost and expenses, including counsel fees, of defending against liabilities. (d) Limited Responsibilities. The responsibilities of the Trustee elsewhere set forth herein shall be further limited as follows: FIRST: the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with a direction of the owners of Bonds pursuant to any provision of this Trust Indenture relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Trust Indenture. SECOND: no provision of this Trust Indenture shall require the Trustee (1) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, nor (2) to take any action, whether or not directed to take such action by the owners of Bonds, pursuant to this Trust Indenture, which in the judgment of the Trustee would conflict with any rule of law, or with the terms of this Trust Indenture, or would be unjustly prejudicial to the owners of Bonds not taking part in such direction. When acting pursuant to the direction of any owners of Bonds pursuant to this Trust Indenture, the Trustee may take other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; 15 • • provided, however, that the terms of this subparagraph SECOND shall not impose any additional duties or responsibilities upon the Trustee and shall not be construed to limit the effect of subparagraph FIRST of this paragraph (d). (e) Advice. The Trustee may act upon the professional opinion or advice of any legal counsel, engineer, accountant, or other expert, reasonably believed by the Trustee to be qualified in relation to the subject matter, whether retained by the Trustee, the User, or the Issuer or otherwise, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for anything suffered or done or not done by it in good faith in accordance with any such opinion or advice. (f) Trustee May Own Bonds. Except as prohibited by law, the Trustee may become the owner of any of the Bonds secured by this Trust Indenture with the same rights which it would have if it were not the Trustee; and nothing herein contained shall be construed to prohibit the Trustee, either as principal or agent, from engaging in or being interested in any financial or other transaction with the Issuer or the User or from acting as depository, trustee, or agent for any committee or body of owners of the Bonds or of other obliga- tions of the Issuer as freely as if it were not the Trustee. (g) Fees. The Issuer has agreed with the User in the Agreement and the Bond Resolution provides that, as part of the Installment Loan Payments the User shall pay to the Trustee its charges for performing the duties of Trustee, Registrar, and Paying Agent for the Bonds as set forth in its "Schedule of Fees for Services as Trustee and/or Paying Agent," attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the same is from time to time amended. It is agreed by the Trustee that the User may, without causing or creating a default or Event of Default hereunder, contest in good faith (and withhold payment of the contested amount until such contest is resolved) the reasonableness of any change in the foregoing charges for services or any charges for extraordinary services until such contest is resolved; provided however, that in the event the reasonableness of the charges is contested in a court proceeding, the reasonable attorney's fees of the prevailing party may be adjudged against the other party; and provided, further, that in the event the charges are adjudged as reasonable, the User shall pay to the Trustee interest on such charges at the rate of 15% per annum. All payments due the Trustee for such charges, fees, or expenses shall be paid by the User and no such charges, fees, or expenses shall be charged against or be payable by the Issuer, except the initial fees and expenses of the Trustee which are paid as part of the costs of issuance of the Bonds. 16 (h) Insurance. The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty as respects any insurance to be maintained by the User on the Project. Article 7. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. (a) Resignation of Trustee. The Trustee at the time acting hereunder may at any time resign and be discharged from all trusts created by this Trust Indenture by giving not less than 60 days written notice to the Issuer, the User, and to any owners of Bonds as shown on the Bond Registration Books and any other list of owners of Bonds kept by the Trustee, and such resignation shall take effect upon the appointment of a temporary Trustee or a successor Trustee by the owners of Bonds or by the Issuer as hereinafter provided. (b) Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may be discharged and removed at any time by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer, and signed by the owners of 67% in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds. (c) Appointment of Successor Trustee. In case the Trustee hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case the Trustee shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Bonds by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing, signed by such owners of Bonds, or by their attorneys in fact duly authorized in writing, and delivered to the Issuer; provided, nevertheless, that in any such event the Issuer by an instrument executed by authority of a resolution of its Board of Directors and signed by the President and by the Secretary of such Board, may appoint a temporary Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the owners of Bonds in the manner above provided, and any such temporary Trustee so appointed by the Issuer shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Trustee so appointed by such owners of Bonds. Every such successor or temporary Trustee shall be a trust company or bank in good standing located in Corpus Christi, Texas, and having a capital and surplus of not less than Twenty -Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000), if there be such a trust company or bank willing, qualified, and able to accept the trust upon reasonable and customary terms. In the event that no appointment of a temporary or successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Article within 60 days after the Trustee gives written notice of resignation or the Trustee is removed, any owner of Bonds or 17 • any retiring Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction in Nueces County, Texas for the appointment of a successor Trustee, and such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it shall deem proper, prescribe or appoint a successor Trustee. (d) Transfer to Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to its predecessor, the Issuer, and the User, an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed, or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, rights, powers, trusts, duties, and obligations hereunder of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all of the estates, rights, powers, and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and money held by it to its successor; provided, however, that before any such delivery is required or made, all reasonable, customary, and legally accrued fees, advances, and expenses of such predecessor Trustee shall be paid in full. Should any deed, assignment, or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such Trustee the estates, rights, powers, and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, any and all such deeds, assignments, and instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged, and delivered by the Issuer. (e) Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
