set forth in the preceding sentence are without exception, and are not diminished by any

the payment of the foregoing obligations.
Section 4.2(2) Terms. The Mortgage Loan shall (a) be evidenced by the

The Mortgage Note Rate shall be percent (-"/o) per annum
from the Accrual Date set forth in the Mortgage Note to, but not including, the
Conversion Date; on and after the Conversion Date, the Mortgage Note Rate
shall be percent (-YO) per annum to, but not including, the first day of the month immediately preceding the Initial Remarketing Date, and thereafter, if the Bonds Outstanding shall have been remarketed in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, at a per annum rate equal to the Remarketing Rate in effect from time to time (adjusted, if necessary, to include such additional basis points of interest as shall be necessary to ensure that the monthly payments on

the Mortgage Note are sufficient to provide for the payment of the scheduled
principal and interest on the Bonds Outstanding when due), adjusted as of the
first day of the month immediately preceding the Initial Remarketing Date and
each succeeding Remarketing Date, plus (a) an amount sufficient to pay Set Rate

Conversion Date, but in any event, not later than provided,
further, that if the Bonds Outstanding shall have been remarketed in accordance
with the provisions of the Indenture, the outstanding principal amount of the
Mortgage Loan shall be reamortized as of each Remarketing Date, so as to
change the amount of each subsequent installment of principal and interest to the amount necessary to amortize the remaining principal balance of the Mortgage Loan at an interest rate equal to the Revised Mortgage Note Rate over a term equivalent to the number of months of amortization remaining to the maturity
date of the Mortgage Loan, with the first such revised payment being due on the first day of the month in which such Remarketing Date occurs, provided further, however, that any remaining indebtedness, if not sooner paid, shall be due and payable on

any insufficiency in the Fees Account, immediately pay the amount of the deficiency to the
Loan Servicer for remittance to the Trustee, provided that if the Credit Provider shall have
advanced funds under the Credit Facility for any of such purposes, the Borrower agrees to
immediately pay the amounts owed the Credit Provider in reimbursement of the funds provided by the Credit Provider as provided in the Reimbursement Agreement. No advance
made by the Credit Provider under the Credit Facility with respect to the payment of the
principal and interest on the Mortgage Loan shall relieve the Borrower of any of its obligations
under the Bond Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents or any other document
contemplated by this Financing Agreement or by such other documents.
Section 5.2 Nature of Borrower’s Financial Obligations. The Issuer and the Trustee acknowledge that (a) the Mortgaged Property will be encumbered by the Mortgage Loan Documents and (b) all obligations of the Borrower under this Financing Agreement (in contrast
to the Borrower’s obligations under the Mortgage Loan Documents) or under the Regulatory
Agreement (if any) for the payment of money, including, without limitation, fees, costs and
expenses, obligations with respect to Reserved Rights, claims for damages occasioned by the
breach or alleged breach by the Borrower of its obligations under this Financing Agreement or
the Regulatory Agreement and claims for indemnification, are not secured by, and do not in any
manner constitute a lien on, the Mortgaged Property.

Bonds, no deficiency or other money judgment shall be enforced against the Borrower or any partner of the Borrower or any successor or assign of the Borrower, and any judgment obtained shall be enforced only against the Mortgaged Property and other property of the Borrower
encumbered by the Mortgage Loan Documents and not against the Borrower or any partner of
the Borrower or any successor or assign of the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
anything to the contrary contained in this Financing Agreement, the obligations of the Borrower
to the Issuer, the Trustee or any other party (a) under Section 4.3 and Article IX and (b) to pay
any and all rebate amounts that may be or become owing with respect to the Bonds, shall be
recourse to the Borrower, but except with respect to obligations owing to the Credit Provider,
19
not to the Mortgaged Property or any other property encumbered by the Mortgage Loan
Documents.

contained in this Financing Agreement or in the Regulatory Agreement, all obligations under
this Financing Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement for the payment of money, if any, and
all claims for damages or reimbursement or indemnification against the Borrower occasioned
by breach or alleged breach by the Borrower of its obligations under this Financing Agreement
or the Regulatory Agreement shall be subordinate and junior in priority, in right of payment
and in all other respects to the obligations of the Borrower under or in respect of the Bond
Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.

Agreement to the contrary, neither the Trustee nor the Loan Servicer shall have any duty or
obligation to analyze or review any such reports for determining whether or not the Borrower
and/or the Mortgaged Property are in compliance with the requirements of the Code for
maintaining the excludability from gross income, for federal income tax purposes, of the

(vi) if the Borrower becomes aware of any circumstance, event or
condition which would result in the interest payable on the Bonds becoming includable in gross income, for federal income tax purposes, the Borrower will promptly give written notice of such circumstance, event or condition to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider;
(vii) the full amount of each disbursement from the Mortgage Loan Fund will be applied to pay or to reimburse the Borrower for the payment of Costs of the Mortgaged Property and, after taking into account any proposed disbursement, (a) at least 95% of the net proceeds of the Bonds (as defined in Section 150 of the Code) will be used or deemed used to provide a qualified residential rental project (as defined in Section 142(d) of the Code) and (b) less

25
(xi) that no proceeds of the Bonds will be used, for the acquisition of
any tangible property or an interest therein, other than land or an interest in
land, unless the first use of such property was pursuant to such acquisition;
provided, however, that this limitation shall not apply with respect to any

Bonds (within the meaning of the Code) for said fees.
(xv) no proceeds of the Bonds (within the meaning of the Code) shall be used directly or indirectly to provide any airplane, skybox or other private luxury box, health club facility, facility used for gambling or store the principal business of which is the sale of alcoholic beverages for consumption off premises.

Rebate Analyst to calculate the rebate amount, as required by the Indenture and will provide a copy of each rebate report to the Issuer and the Trustee. The Borrower will promptly pay, or cause to be paid, when due to the United States of America all rebate
amounts that may be or become owing with respect to the Bonds (which payment may
be made out of any available amounts on deposit in the various Funds and Accounts
established under the Indenture or, in the absence of such available amounts, must be
paid by the Borrower or a general partner of the Borrower out of its own funds). For purposes of this Section, ”available amounts”, when used with respect to any Fund or Account established under the Indenture, means moneys on deposit in the Fund or Account in excess of the amounts required to be on deposit in the Fund or Account from
26
34
time to time for the payment of interest, principal or premium, if any, due with respect to the Bonds and Third Party Fees. In the event that the Trustee receives written notice
from the Borrower, the Loan Servicer, the Issuer or the Credit Provider, that the
Borrower has failed to engage a Rebate Analyst, the Trustee in consultation with, and
with the approval of, the Credit Provider and the Issuer, will use its best efforts to
engage a Rebate Analyst to calculate rebate, provided that a Rebate Analyst can be engaged for amounts which do not exceed on an annual basis, the moneys that are and will be then available under the Indenture to pay the Rebate Analyst’s Annual Fee, or
from other moneys furnished to the Trustee; in no event shall the Trustee be required to
risk or expend its own moneys to employ a Rebate Analyst.
Section 7.2(10) Agreement Regarding Documents. The Indenture and the

agreements which are at any time, or from time to time, entered into by the Borrower
with respect to the ownership, operation, occupancy, use or financing of the Mortgaged
Property. The Borrower acknowledges that the Borrower’s failure to comply with the
terms and conditions of any Credit Facility Agreement will constitute an Event of
Default under the Mortgage Loan, and, at the option of the Credit Provider (as set forth
in Section 13.1(2)), an Event of Default under this Financing Agreement, entitling the
Trustee, but only at the direction of the Credit Provider, to exercise all available
remedies set forth in this Financing Agreement.
Section 7.2(12) Disclosure Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Issuer is not an ”obligated person” (as defined in the Disclosure Agreement) with respect to the Bonds and represents that the Borrower is the only
obligated person with respect to the Bonds. The Issuer acknowledges the entry by the

assumed certain obligations, in addition to those assumed under the Indenture, for the
benefit of the Bondholders. The Borrower agrees to perform its obligations under the
Disclosure Agreement, including without limitation, the payment of compensation to
the Trustee and payment or reimbursement of expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, all in accordance with the provisions of the Disclosure
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Financing Agreement, any failure by the Borrower to comply with any provision of the Disclosure Agreement shall not be a failure or a default, or an Event of Default, under this Financing Agreement or the Indenture.
27
Section 7.2(13) Notice of Certain Events. The Borrower will advise the Issuer,
the Trustee, the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider immediately in writing of (a) any
misrepresentation or breach of warranty by the Borrower in, or the occurrence of any
default by the Borrower in the performance or observance of any covenant, agreement, representation, warranty or obligation of the Borrower set forth in, any Borrower
Document and (b) any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or
both, would constitute a default under any Borrower Document, specifying the nature
and period of existence of such event and the actions being taken or proposed to be
taken with respect to such event (the Borrower’s notice shall be given promptly, and in
no event more than ten (10) Business Days after the Borrower receives notice or has
knowledge of the occurrence of any such event). The Borrower will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Loan Servicer if insurance proceeds or condemnation awards are received with respect to the Mortgaged Property and are not used to repair
or replace the Mortgaged Property, which notice shall state the amount of such proceeds
or award.
Section 7.204) Warranty of Truth. No information, certificate, statement in writing or report required to be delivered by the Borrower to the Issuer or the Trustee or both will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit a material fact necessary to make such information, certificate, statement or report not misleading.

independent certified public accountants, acceptable to the Loan Servicer and the Credit
Provider in their discretion. The Borrower further agrees to prepare and submit to the
Issuer and the Loan Servicer quarterly, within thirty (30) days after the close of each

The Borrower represents that the Credit Provider does not control, either directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, the Borrower and that the Borrower does not control, either directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, the Credit
Provider. ”Control” for this purpose has the meaning given to such term in Section
2(a)(9) of the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Borrower shall give notice to the
Trustee and the Remarketing Agent of any transaction that would result in the Borrower
controlling or being controlled by the Credit Provider at least 45 days prior to the date of consummation of such transaction. The Trustee shall give such notice to the Bondholders within ten days of receipt thereof.

shall be limited to acts and omissions of the Credit Provider occurring during the period of the
Credit Provider’s ownership of the Mortgaged Property.

31
all owners of the Mortgaged Property. The Borrower covenants to include such restrictions or a
reference to such restrictions in any documents transferring any interest in the Mortgaged

Regulatory Agreement.
Section 10.3 Damage, Destruction and Condemnation. If prior to full payment of the

PERFORMANCE RIGHTS
Section 12.1 Right To Perform Borrower’s Obligations.

Issuer, the Trustee, the Credit Provider or the Loan Servicer shall become an additional

33
or performed (other than as provided in paragraph (i) above) for a period of
thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the Trustee specifying such failure and requesting that it be remedied, provided, however, that if the failure
is such that it cannot be corrected within such period, it shall not constitute an
Event of Default if the failure is correctable without material adverse effect on
the validity or enforceability of the Bonds or on the exclusion from gross income,
for federal income tax purposes, of the interest payable on the Bonds, and if
corrective action is instituted by the Borrower within such period and diligently
pursued until the failure is corrected, and provided further that any such failure shall have been cured within 90 days of receipt of notice of such failure; or
(iii) any breach of any of the covenants, agreements or obligations of
the Borrower under, or the occurrence of a default under, the Regulatory

this Financing Agreement or in any document delivered by or on behalf of the
Borrower to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Servicer or the Credit Provider in connection with the Mortgaged Property, the Mortgage Loan or the Bonds was
untrue or misleading in any material respect as of the date made or deemed
made; or
(v) the occurrence of an Event of Default under and as defined in the
Indenture or under and as defined in any other Bond Document caused by the
Borrower’s failure to comply with the terms or conditions of any such Bond
Document; or
(vi) the occurrence of any of the following: the Borrower shall
generally not pay its debts as they become due, or shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors or shall institute any proceeding or voluntary case seeking to

or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
or relief or protection of debtors, or seeking the entry of an order for relief or the

Agreement unless the default is declared by the Credit Provider, in its sole and absolute discretion, to be an Event of Default under this Financing Agreement, such declaration
to be made by written notice to the Trustee. The occurrence of an Event of Default
under this Financing Agreement shall not constitute a default under any Mortgage Loan
Document unless the Event of Default is declared by the Credit Provider, in its sole and
absolute discretion, to be a default under the Mortgage Loan, such declaration to be made by written notice to the Trustee.
Section 13.1(3) Mortgage Loan Documents. Nothing contained in this
Section 13.1 is intended to amend or modify any of the provisions of the Mortgage Loan
Documents nor to bind the Loan Servicer or the Credit Provider to any notice and cure periods other than as expressly set forth in the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section 13.2 Remedies Upon an Event of Default.
Section 13.2(1) General. Subject to Section 13.2(8), whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing under this Financing Agreement, the Trustee may take any one or more of the following remedial steps:
(i) give immediate notice to the Issuer, the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider and if the Event of Default is the failure to receive a Required Mortgage Payment (as defined in the Credit Facility), the Trustee shall present to the Credit Provider an appropriate certificate for an Advance under the Credit Facility; or
(ii) if the principal and interest accrued on the Bonds shall have been
declared immediately due and payable pursuant to Section 9.2(1) of the
Indenture, the Trustee shall give notice to the Issuer, the Loan Servicer and
present an appropriate certificate for an Advance under the Credit Facility, provided, however, that if the Trustee shall rescind or annul a declaration of acceleration of Bonds pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider shall be restored to their former rights and positions, and all rights, duties and obligations of the parties shall continue as if no adverse proceeding had been taken, subject to the limits of any adverse determination; or
(iii) take such action as is permitted by the Mortgage Loan Documents but only with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider;
(iv) to the extent of any insufficiency in the payment of the Bonds after the Trustee shall have received an Advance under the Credit Facility, the Trustee may, by any suit, action or proceeding, pursue all remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity to collect all amounts then due and thereafter to become due under this Financing Agreement, to enforce the performance of any covenant, obligation or agreement of the Borrower under this Financing
35
Agreement (subject to the nonrecourse provisions of this Financing Agreement
and the Regulatory Agreement) or to enjoin acts or things which may be unlawful or in violation of the rights of the Issuer or the Trustee;
(v) at the written direction or with the prior written consent of the
Credit Provider, apply in any court of competent jurisdiction for specific
performance by the Borrower of its covenants, obligations and agreements under this Financing Agreement or for injunctive relief to prevent any violation of the
covenants, obligations or agreements on the part of the Borrower to be observed
or performed under this Financing Agreement (the Borrower acknowledges and
agrees that money damages alone would not be an adequate remedy at law for a default by the Borrower arising from a failure to comply with this Financing Agreement, and therefore the Borrower agrees that the remedy of specific performance or injunctive relief shall be available to the Trustee in any such case); or
(vi) at the written direction or with the prior written consent of the
Credit Provider, take whatever other action at law or in equity may appear
necessary or desirable to enforce any obligation of the Borrower under this
Financing Agreement.
In addition, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Issuer, the Trustee, the Loan Servicer, the Credit Provider and the Construction Lender (so long as the Letter of Credit is in effect) shall have access to and may inspect, examine, audit and make copies of the books and records and any and all accounts, data and income tax and other tax returns of the Borrower.
Section 13.2(2) Enforcement of Reserved Rights. Subject to the terms of the Regulatory Agreement and Section 13.2(8), the Issuer, without the consent of the
Trustee, but only after written notice to the Trustee, the Loan Servicer, the Credit
Provider, the Construction Lender (so long as the Letter of Credit is in effect) and the
Borrower, may take whatever action may appear necessary or desirable to specifically
enforce the performance and observance of any Reserved Right of the Issuer, provided
that the Issuer may not, without the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Credit
Provider (a) terminate this Financing Agreement or cause the Mortgage Loan to become
due and payable or (b)cause the Trustee to declare the principal of all Bonds then
Outstanding and the interest accrued on the Bonds to be immediately due and payable, or cause the Trustee to accelerate, foreclose or take any other action or seek other remedies under the Bond Documents, the Mortgage Loan Documents or any other documents contemplated by this Financing Agreement or by such other documents to obtain such performance or observance.
Section 13.2(3) Permitted Cures of an Event of Default. The Trustee may,
with the prior written consent of the Credit Provider, or at the written direction of the Credit Provider, permit the Borrower, for a period specified by the Credit Provider, to
cure any default under the Mortgage Note and the Security Instrument, but only if
(a) the Borrower pays to the Trustee or the Loan Servicer, as the case may be, for proper remittance, all overdue payments of principal and interest on the Mortgage Note, (b) the Borrower cures any nonmonetary defaults under the Mortgage Note, the Security Instrument and the other Mortgage Loan Documents to the satisfaction of the Credit Provider, and (c) the Borrower pays all fees, costs and expenses of the Trustee, the Issuer, the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider, including, without limitation, Extraordinary Items due to the Trustee and all legal fees and expenses, incurred in
36
connection with the default. The Borrower acknowledges that any cure of any default
will not affect any subsequent default under the Mortgage Loan Documents.
Section 13.2(4) Waiver and Annulment. If, after any Event of Default (a) all amounts which would then be payable under this Financing Agreement by the Borrower if such Event of Default had not occurred and was not continuing shall have been paid by or on behalf of the Borrower, and (b) the Borrower shall have also performed all other obligations in respect of which it is then in default under this
Financing Agreement and shall have paid the reasonable fees and expenses of the Issuer,
the Trustee, the Credit Provider and the Loan Servicer, including reasonable attorney
fees and expenses paid or incurred in connection with such default, then and in every such case, such Event of Default shall be waived and annulled by the Trustee, but only if
so directed by the Credit Provider, in its sole and absolute discretion; no such waiver or
annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right
or remedy consequent on such Event of Default.
Section 13.2(5) Non-Exclusivity of Remedies. No remedy conferred in this
Financing Agreement upon or reserved to the Issuer or 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 now or hereafter existing pursuant to any other agreement at law or in equity or by statute.
Section 13.2(6) Delay or Omission. No delay or omission to exercise any right
or power occurring upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or
shall be construed to be a waiver of such Event of Default, but any such right and power
may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed appropriate. The
Issuer and the Trustee agree to give only such notices as may be expressly required by this Financing Agreement.
Section 13.2(7) Application of Proceeds. Except as required to be deposited in
the Rebate Fund pursuant to the Indenture and the Tax Certificate, any amounts
collected pursuant to action taken under this Section 13.2 shall, after the payment of the
fees and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Issuer, the Trustee or the Credit Provider and their respective counsel, be paid into the General Account, and applied in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, provided, however, there
shall be no deduction for fees and expenses associated with the Trustee’s collection of
funds payable under the Credit Facility. No action taken pursuant to this Section 13.2(7)
shall relieve the Borrower from the Borrower’s obligations under Article IX.
Section 13.2(8) Limitations on Actions. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Financing Agreement or the Regulatory Agreement to the contrary:
(i) neither the Issuer, the Trustee nor any person under the control of either shall, without the prior written consent of the Credit Provider, exercise any
remedies or direct any proceedings under the Bond Documents or the Mortgage
Loan Documents other than to (a) enforce rights under the Credit Facility, (b) enforce the tax covenants in the Indenture, the Regulatory Agreement and
this Financing Agreement, (c) enforce rights of specific performance under the
Regulatory Agreement or (d) enforce the Issuer’s Reserved Rights, provided,
however, that any enforcement under (b), (c) or (d) above shall not include
seeking any monetary recovery against the Borrower apart from a monetary
recovery associated with Reserved Rights and provided further that (1) any claim
37
of the Issuer for a monetary recovery shall be subordinate to the payment
obligations of the Mortgage Loan and (2) the enforcement of any claim for a monetary recovery shall not cause the Borrower to file a petition seeking
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the
Borrower under any applicable liquidation, insolvency, bankruptcy,
rehabilitation, composition, reorganization, conservation or other similar law
now or hereafter in effect; and
(ii) so long as the Credit Facility remains outstanding and a Wrongful Dishonor has not occurred or, if it has occurred, is not continuing, neither the Issuer, the Trustee, nor any person under their control shall
(A) initiate or take any action which may have the effect, directly or indirectly, of impairing the ability of the Borrower to timely pay the
principal, interest and other amounts due under the Mortgage Loan;
(B) interfere with or attempt to influence the exercise by the Credit Provider of any of its rights under the Mortgage Loan, including, without
limitation, its remedial rights under the Mortgage Loan upon the occurrence of an event of default by the Borrower under the Mortgage Loan; or

other remedies with respect to the Mortgage Loan.
Section 13.3 Limitations on Waivers. In the event any covenant, agreement or
condition contained in this Financing Agreement shall be breached by a party and thereafter
waived by another party, such waiver shall not bind any party which has not waived the breach
and shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach under this Financing Agreement nor be a waiver of the same breach on a future occasion. By reason of the assignment and pledge of certain of the Issuer’s rights and interests in this Financing Agreement to the Trustee, the Issuer shall have no power to waive or release the Borrower from any Event of Default or the performance or observance of any obligation or condition of the Borrower under this Financing Agreement without first requesting and receiving the prior written consent of the Trustee and the Credit Provider, but shall do so if
requested by the Trustee and the Credit Provider, provided that the Issuer shall not be required
to grant such waiver or release unless it shall have been provided with (a) an Opinion of
Counsel that such action will not result in any pecuniary liability to it and an Opinion of Bond
Counsel that such waiver shall not cause interest on the Bonds to be included in the gross
income, for federal income tax purposes, of the holders of the Bonds, (b) such indemnification
as the Issuer shall deem necessary and (c) written notice from the Trustee and the Credit Provider of the request for such waiver or release.
Section 13.4 Notice of Default; the Credit Provider’s Right To Cure. The Issuer and
the Trustee shall each give notice to the other and to the Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider of the occurrence of any Event of Default by the Borrower under this Financing Agreement of which it has actual knowledge. The Loan Servicer and the Credit Provider shall each have the
right, but not the obligation, to cure any default by the Borrower, and upon performance by the
Loan Servicer or the Credit Provider of the covenant, agreement or obligation of the Borrower
with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred, the parties to this Financing Agreement
shall be restored to their former respective positions, it being agreed that the Loan Servicer and
the Credit Provider shall have right to reimbursement from the Borrower of moneys so
expended and any other appropriate redress for actions taken to cure any default by the Borrower.
38
Section 13.5 Rights Cumulative. All rights and remedies provided in this Financing Agreement are cumulative, nonexclusive and in addition to any and all rights and remedies that

funds to finance the acquisition and construction of the Project, the Issuer agrees that it will
issue under the Indenture, sell and cause to be delivered to the purchasers thereof, the Bonds,
bearing interest at the rates and payable as to principal and interest at the times as set forth m
the Indenture. The Issuer will, upon issuance and delivery of the Bonds, deposit the proceeds
received from the sale of the Bonds with the Trustee as provided in the Indenture.
Section 3.2. Disbursement From the Program Fund. The Issuer has authorized and
directed the Trustee to disburse from the Program Fund created pursuant to the Indenture, as appropriate, to pay or to reimburse the Borrower for Project Costs for the acquisition and construction of the Project, but only if the Trustee shall have received a Funding Requisition, substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, executed by an Authorized Borrower Representative and approved by an Authorized Bank Representative, with respect to each requested disbursement or advance. Each Funding Requisition shall state (a) the requisition number, (b) the amount or amounts to be disbursed, (c) that each obligation mentioned therein
is a Project Cost, has been properly incurred, is a proper charge against the Program Fund and has not been the basis of any previous disbursement, (d) that the expenditure of any such disbursement when added to all previous disbursements from the Program Fund will result m not less than 95% of all disbursements from the Program Fund having been used or deemed used to pay or reimburse the Borrower for Qualified Project Costs and not more than 25% of all disbursements from the Program Fund having been used or deemed used to pay for the acquisition of land or any interest therein, and (e) that the Regulatory Agreement and the Deed of Trust are in full force and effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no more than four Funding Requisitions may be satisfied in any month, and each Funding Requisition shall be for an
amount at least equal to $5,000 and otherwise in accordance with any restrictions on disbursements under any investment agreement pertaining to the investment of amounts in the Program Fund.

Upon receipt of a properly signed Funding Requisition, the Trustee is authorized to act
thereon without further inquiry and, except for the negligence or willful misconduct of the
Trustee, the Borrower shall hold the Trustee harmless against any and all losses, claims or
liability incurred in connection with the Trustee directly making such disbursements from the
Program Fund. Neither the Trustee nor the Issuer shall be responsible for the application by the
Credit Bank or the Borrower of moneys disbursed in accordance with this Section.
Section 3.3. Investment of Moneys; Arbitrage. Upon written direction of the Borrower,
approved in writing by the Credit Bank, any moneys in any fund or account held by the Trustee

(a) during any period that the Bonds bear interest at a Fixed Rate or a Reset Rate, the occurrence of an Event of Default described in subsection 7.l(b), (c) or (d) hereof or a

Trustee shall, with the consent of the Credit Bank, agree in writing to an extension of such time
prior to its expiration; provided, however, that, if the failure stated in the notice cannot be
corrected within such period, the Issuer and the Trustee will not unreasonably withhold their

discretion of the Borrower, and the Borrower shall not be required to make settlement of strikes,
lockouts and other industrial disturbances by acceding to the demands of the opposing party or
parties when such course is, in the judgment of the Borrower, unfavorable to the Borrower. This limitation shall not apply to any default except under subsection 7.l(c).
Section 7.2. Remedies on Default. (a) Whenever any Event of Default shall have occurred and shall continue, after giving notice to the Credit Bank and subject to any right of the
24
Credit Bank to cure any such default, the Issuer and the Trustee may take any one or more of

(iv) The Trustee may institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity for the collection of any sums due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Borrower and collect in the manner provided by law the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable as limited only by the provisions of Section 4.3
hereof.
(b) In case the Trustee or the Issuer shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Financing Agreement and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee or the Issuer, then, and in every such case, the Borrower, the Trustee, the Credit Bank and the Issuer shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Borrower, the Trustee, the Credit Bank and the Issuer shall continue as though no such action had been taken.
(c) In case proceedings shall be pending for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Borrower under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Borrower, or in the case of any other similar judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower, or the creditors or property of the Borrower, then the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount owing and unpaid pursuant to this Financing Agreement and, in case of any judicial proceedings, to file
such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order
to have the claims of the Trustee allowed in such judicial proceedings relative to the Borrower, its creditors or its property, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute such amounts as provided in the Indenture after the deduction of its charges and expenses. Any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized to make such payments to the Trustee, and to pay to the Trustee any reasonable amount due it for compensation and expenses, including expenses and fees of counsel incurred by it up to the date of such distribution.
Notwithstanding anything in the Indenture, the Deed of Trust or this Financing
Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall not be required to initiate foreclosure proceedings
with respect to the Project, and shall not otherwise be required to acquire possession of or take
other action with respect to the Project that could cause it to be considered an "owner" or
"operator" within the meaning of CERCLA or any other Environmental Law, unless the Trustee
(d)
25
has sufficient comfort, based on previous determinations by experts on which Trustee can rely,
including an environmental report, that:
(i) the Project is in compliance with all Environmental Laws or, if not, that it
would nevertheless be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Bondholders
to take such actions as are necessary for the Project to comply therewith;
(ii) there are no circumstances present at the Project relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, contaminant, cleanup or remedial action could be required under any Environmental Laws or that, if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, it would be nevertheless in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Bondholders to take such actions with respect to the Project;
if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic interest of the Trustee and the Bondholders, the Trustee must be satisfied that it will suffer no unreimbursed liabilities and will be adequately reimbursed for all liabilities,
expenses and costs from available funds in the Trustee’s possession and control; and
(iii)
(iv) if the Trustee has determined that it would be in the best economic
interest of the Trustee and the Bondholders to take any such action and its aforementioned liabilities, expenses and costs are adequately reimbursed, the Trustee has so notified the Bondholders and has not received, within 30 days of such notification, instructions from Owners of 60% or more in principal amount of the then Outstanding Bonds directing it not to take such action.
If the foregoing conditions are not satisfied and the Trustee is not willing to waive such conditions and initiate foreclosure proceedings, then the Trustee shall take such actions as are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the appointment of a co-trustee, being a person or entity designated by the Owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds
then Outstanding and to assign to such person or entity (subject, however, to the trusts created pursuant to the Indenture) the beneficial interest under the Deed of Trust which secures the obligations under this Financing Agreement, for the limited purpose of conducting a foreclosure of such Deed of Trust and receiving and holding any title to real property obtained as a result of such foreclosure. Persons or entities appointed as co-trustees or agents of the Trustee pursuant to this subsection 7.2(d) shall not be required to meet the criteria of Section 8.07 of the Indenture, or any other criteria, in order to serve as such.
Section 7.3. Agreement To Pay Attorneys’ Fees and Expenses. In the event the Borrower should default under any of the provisions of this Financing Agreement and the Issuer or the Trustee should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for the collection of the payments due under this Financing Agreement or the enforcement of performance or observance of any obligation or agreement on the part of the Borrower herein contained, the Borrower agrees to pay to the Issuer or the Trustee the reasonable fees of such attorneys and such other expenses so incurred by the Issuer or the Trustee; provided that California Civil Code Section 1717 relating to prevailing parties shall apply.
Section 7.4. No Remedy Exclusive. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Issuer or 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 under this Financing Agreement or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such right
26
and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient. h order to entitle the Issuer or the Trustee to exercise any remedy reserved to it in this Article, it
shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be herein expressly
required or required by law to be given. Such rights and remedies as are given the Issuer hereunder shall also extend to the Trustee, and the Trustee and the holders of the Bonds shall be deemed third-party beneficiaries of all covenants and agreements herein contained.
Section 7.5. No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver. In the event any agreement or covenant contained in this Financing Agreement should be breached by the Borrower and thereafter waived by the Issuer or the Trustee with the consent of the Credit Bank, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach hereunder.
Section 7.6. Notice of Certain Events. The Borrower hereby covenants to advise the Issuer, the Credit Bank and the Trustee promptly in writing of the occurrence of any Event of Default hereunder or any event which, with the passage of time or service of notice, or both,
would constitute an Event of Default hereunder, speclfylng the nature and period of existence of such event and the actions being taken or proposed to be taken with respect thereto. In
addition, the Borrower hereby covenants to advise the Issuer, the Credit Bank and the Trustee
promptly in writing of the occurrence of any default under the Loan or of the occurrence of an
Act of Bankruptcy.

ARTICLE VI11
PREPAYMENT
Section 8.1. Prepayment of Loan. The Loan shall not be prepaid except as provided in
this Section. No prepayment of the Loan shall relieve the Borrower of its obligations under the
Regulatory Agreement during the Qualified Project Period. The Borrower shall be permitted or required to prepay, or shall be deemed to have prepaid, the Loan, in whole or in part, and the principal amount thereof shall be reduced accordingly, in an amount equal to the principal amount of Bonds redeemed and on the date of such redemption, as follows:

amount of any Net Proceeds of any insurance or condemnation award which are not used to
repair or replace the Project pursuant to Section 6.2 hereof.

(c) The Borrower shall be required to prepay the full remaining balance of the Loan, upon the occurrence of an Acceleration Default and the acceleration of the Loan pursuant to Section 7.2 hereof, or the Credit Bank’s request for, or consent to, the acceleration of the Loan following any other Event of Default hereunder pursuant to said Section 7.2.
(d) The Borrower shall be required to prepay the Loan in whole or in part on the
date necessary in order for the Bonds to be redeemed as provided in subsections 4.01(a), (c),
(d), (f) and/or (g) of the Indenture.
Section 8.2. Redemption of Bonds Upon Prepayment. Upon any prepayment of the Loan as provided in Section 8.1, the Trustee is required by the Indenture to call all or part of the Bonds for redemption and to draw upon the Letter of Credit in the respective amounts set forth in the applicable paragraph of Section 4.01 of the Indenture.
Section 8.3. Amount of Prepayment. In the event of any prepayment pursuant to Section 8.1, the amount of the Loan deemed to be prepaid shall be equal to the principal amount of Bonds redeemed as described in Section 8.2 (provided that the Loan shall not, in any event, be considered prepaid as a consequence of any ”deemed redemption” of the Bonds described in Section 7.12 of the Indenture). In the case of prepayment of the Loan in full, the Borrower shall pay to the Trustee an amount sufficient, together with other funds held by the Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay all reasonable and necessary fees and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) of the Issuer, the Trustee and any paying agent accrued and to accrue through final payment of the Bonds and all other liabilities of the Borrower accrued and to accrue under this Financing Agreement and shall pay to the Issuer an amount required by subsection 4.2(c). In the case of partial prepayment of the Loan, the Borrower shall pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee an amount sufficient, together with other funds held by the Trustee and available for such purpose, to pay expenses of redemption of the Bonds to be redeemed upon such prepayment.
The Borrower agrees that it will not voluntarily prepay the Loan or any part thereof,
except in amounts sufficient to redeem Bonds in whole multiples of $100,000 plus any multiple
28
of $5,000 in excess thereof during any Variable Period, or in whole multiples of $5,000 after Conversion or during any Reset Period, and to pay any applicable redemption premium and accrued interest to the redemption date.
In addition, if the Borrower shall prepay the Loan in whole during the Qualified Project Period, as defined in the Regulatory Agreement, the Borrower shall continue to pay the fees and expenses of the Issuer as set forth in the Regulatory Agreement or shall, in lieu thereof, pay to the Issuer, on the date of such prepayment, an amount equal to the present value, as of the date
of such prepayment, of the annual fees of the Issuer which would have been payable as
provided in subsection 4.2(c) for the remaining term of the Qualified Project Period (such
present value calculated based upon the interest rate on a tax-exempt municipal bond with a maturity date equal to the number of years remaining to the original maturity date of the Bonds
immediately prior to such prepayment), or such lesser amount as is necessary, in the opinion of
Bond Counsel, to preserve the tax-exempt status of interest on the Bonds.

the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, except from Revenues.

available pursuant to this Financing Agreement or under the Letter of Credit to pay all principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds, as the same shall become due (whether by maturity, mandatory redemption or acceleration), have been calculated to be at all times

Nothing in the Bonds or in the Indenture or this Financing
Agreement or the proceedings of the Issuer authorizing the Bonds or in the Act or in any other
related document shall be construed to authorize the Issuer to create a debt of the Issuer within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision of the State of California.

No member, officer, agent, employee or attorney of the Issuer, including any person executing this Financing Agreement, shall be liable personally hereunder or for any reason relating to the issuance of the Bonds. No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the interest on the Bonds, or for any claim based therein, or otherwise in respect thereof, or based on or in respect of this Financing Agreement or any amendment hereto, against any member, officer, employee or agent, as such, of the Issuer or any successor, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Bonds, expressly waived and released.

exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties thereunder or under any of the
documents relating to the Bonds to which it is a party; except (a) in the case of the foregoing
indemnification of the Trustee or the Tender Agent or any of their respective officers, members,
directors, officials, employees, attorneys and agents, to the extent such damages are caused by
the negligence or willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party; or (b) in the case of the foregoing indemnification of the Issuer or any of its officers, members, directors, officials, employees, attorneys and agents, to the extent such damages are caused by the willful misconduct of such Indemnified Party.

Each Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceeding and participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Borrower shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel; provided, however, that such Indemnified Party may only
employ separate counsel at the expense of the Borrower if in its judgment a conflict of interest exists by reason of common representation or if all parties commonly represented do not agree
