REPORT OF THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF CARMEL, INDIANA,
CONCERNING THE PROPOSED FINANCING OF ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT FACILITIES FOR FALCON NEST II LLC
The Economic Development Commission (the "Commission") of the City of Carmel,
Indiana (the "City"), proposes to recommend to the Common Council of the City, that it loan
proceeds in the amount not to exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000) of an economic
development revenue bond financing to Falcon Nest II LLC (the "Borrower"), to be applied to a
portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of certain
infrastructure improvements for economic development facilities of the Borrower to be located
in a portion of the Legacy Project Economic Development Area in the area on the west side of
River Road south of 146th Street in the northeast portion of the City together with all authorized
costs incurred in connection therewith (collectively, the "Project"). A portion of the bond
proceeds will be applied to the costs of issuance of the revenue bonds. The total cost of the
Project, which will be financed by the proceeds of such bonds, is presently estimated not to
exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000).
Except for the infrastructure improvements being financed from the proceeds of the
bonds, no additional public works or services will be necessary or desirable on account of the
Project.
As set out in the attached "Findings of Fact Regarding the Competitive Impact of the
Shops on Main Project," which findings of fact are incorporated herein, the Commission has
concluded that the proposed Project will not have an adverse competitive effect on similar
facilities already constructed or operating in or near the City.
It is further estimated that upon the completion of the acquisition, construction,
installation and equipping of the Project, the Project will result in the creation of approximately
325 jobs with an estimated total annual payroll between $6,200,000 and $7,000,000, and provide
continued future opportunities for employment.

FINDINGS OF FACT REGARDING THE COMPETITIVE
IMPACT OF THE LEGACY PROJECT
Based on a careful consideration of evidence and testimony submitted to the Economic
Development Commission (the "Commission") of the City of Cannel, Indiana (the "City"), the
Commission hereby makes the following findings of fact with respect to the competitive impact
on similar facilities already constructed or operating in the City, as a result of a proposed
economic development facilities project of Falcon Nest II LLC (the "Borrower").
1. The economic development facilities project to be financed consists of a
portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction, installation and equipping of certain
infrastructure improvements, including, without limitation, road and street improvements,
utility improvements and related site improvements, which are being constructed in order
to provide infrastructure to support a multi-purpose commercial and residential real estate
development (collectively, the "Project"), to be constructed in the area within the City
heretofore designated as the "Legacy Project Allocation Area" located within the Legacy
Project Economic Development Area (the "Area").
2. The total cost of the Project is estimated to range from Two Hundred Fifty
Million Dollars ($250,000,000) to Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) (it
being understood, however, that the exact cost of the Project will depend on the future
tenants and owners of the property being developed by the Borrower). The cost of the
portion of the Project to be financed with the proposed economic development revenue
bonds of the City, including costs in connection with the issuance of such bonds, will not
exceed Twelve Million Dollars ($12,000,000).
3. It is presently estimated that upon completion of the acquisition,
construction, installation and equipping of the Project, the Project will result in the
creation of approximately 325 jobs with an estimated total annual payroll ranging
between Six Million Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($6,200,000) and Seven Million
Dollars ($7,000,000), and will provide continued future opportunities for employment (it
being understood, however, that the exact number of jobs and total annual payroll will
depend upon the future tenants and owners of the property being developed by the
Borrower and their employment needs).
4. The Project will be of benefit to the health, prosperity, economic stability
and general welfare of the City and its citizens and complies with the purposes and
provisions of Indiana Code 36-7-11.9 and Indiana Code 36-7-12, each as amended.
5. The Project will not have an adverse competitive effect on similar
facilities already constructed or operating in the City.

with the Act. The Borrower intends to use and operate the Facilities as a business constituting an
economic development facility under the Act while the Series 2013 Bonds are outstanding and
knows of no reason why the Facilities will not be so used and operated.
In the event the moneys in the Construction Fund should not be sufficient to pay
in full the costs to be paid therefrom, the Borrower agrees, for the benefit of the Issuer and the
holders of the Series 2013 Bonds and in order to fulfill the purposes of the Act, to complete the
construction of the Project and to pay that portion of the costs therefor as may be in excess of the
moneys available therefor in the Construction Fund. The Issuer does not make any warranty,
either express or implied, that the moneys, which will be paid into the Construction Fund and
which under the provisions of this Agreement will be available for payment of the costs of the
construction of the Project, will be sufficient to pay all the costs which will be incurred in that
connection. The Borrower agrees that if after exhaustion of the moneys in the Construction Fund
the Borrower should pay pursuant hereto any portion of the Costs of Construction of the Project,
it shall not be entitled to any reimbursement therefor from the Issuer, the Trustee, or the holders
of any of the Series 2013 Bonds, nor shall it be entitled to any diminution in or abatement or
postponement of the amounts payable hereunder or under the Series 2013 Note.
(b) At the request of the Borrower, the Issuer has, in the Indenture, authorized and
directed the Trustee to make payments from the Construction Fund to pay the Costs of
Construction, or to reimburse the Borrower for any Costs of Construction paid by it. The
Borrower agrees to direct such requisitions to the Trustee as may be necessary to effect payments
out of the Construction Fund in accordance with this Section 3.11.
(c) The completion date of the Project shall be evidenced to the Trustee and the
Issuer by a certificate signed by an authorized representative of the Borrower stating that, except
for amounts retained by the Trustee at the Borrower's direction for any Costs of Construction not
then due and payable or being contested in good faith, (i) the construction of the Project has been
completed and any and all labor, services, materials and supplies used in such construction have
been paid for and (ii) all other items necessary in connection with the Project have been
constructed and all costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith have been paid.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, such certificate shall state that it is given without prejudice to
any rights against third parties which exist at the date of such certificate or which may
subsequently come into being. Upon receipt of such certificate, the Trustee shall in accordance
with Section 4.3(c) of the Indenture transfer all moneys then in the Construction Fund (except
any amount retained as aforesaid by the Trustee for any Costs of Construction) to the Series 2013
Bond Fund for redemption, as directed by the Issuer. The Trustee shall use any amount
transferred to the Series 2013 Bond Fund from the original Loan together with interest thereon to
redeem the Series 2013 Bonds as provided in Section 5.1 of the Indenture.
-15-
Section 3.12. Sale, Substitution, or Lease of Facilities. The Borrower may sell, lease or
transfer or otherwise dispose of the Facilities or any portion thereof only if the sale, lease or
transfer or other disposition shall not relieve the Borrower from liability for all payments due
under this Agreement and the performance of all of the other obligations of this Agreement,
except as permitted by Section 3.3 hereof.

Series 2013 Bonds being redeemed, and shall also be a credit against any mandatory sinking

sequence in which such mandatory sinking fund obligation becomes due.

thereof, indicate the section or subsection pursuant to which prepayment shall occur, and direct

premises in respect of the Borrower in an involuntary case under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver,
liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the
Borrower or for any substantial part of its property, or ordering the windup or liquidation
of its affairs; or the filing and pendency for thirty days without dismissal of a petition
initiating an involuntary case under any other bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law;
(iv) the commencement by the Borrower of any voluntary case under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, whether
consent by it to an entry to an order for relief in an involuntary case and under any such
law or to the appointment of or the taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Borrower or of any

hereinafter set forth, in addition to any other remedies herein or by law provided.
(c) Upon the occurrence of an event of default described in this Section 5.1:
(i) Acceleration. The Trustee may, and shall if directed by Requisite
Bondholders, by written notice to the Borrower, declare the principal of the Series 2013
Note (if not then due and payable), and the interest accrued thereon to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the principal of the Series 2013 Note and the
-18-
interest accrued on the Series 2013 Note shall become and be immediately due and
payable, anything in the Series 2013 Note or in this Agreement contained to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Issuer's obligation to pay TIF Revenues shall not be subject to
acceleration.
(ii) Right to Bring Suit, Etc. The Trustee, with or without entry, personally or
by attorney, may in its discretion, proceed to protect and enforce its rights by a suit or
suits in equity or at law, whether for damages or for the specific performance of any
covenant or agreement contained in the Series 2013 Note or this Agreement or in aid of
the execution of any power herein granted, or for any foreclosure hereunder, or for the
enforcement of any other appropriate legal or equitable remedy, as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided,
however, that all costs incurred by the Trustee and the Issuer under this Article shall be
paid to the Issuer and the Trustee by the Borrower on demand.
(iii) Waiver of Events of Default. If after any event of default occurs and prior
to the Trustee's exercise of any of the remedies provided in this Agreement, the Borrower
has completely cured such default, then in every case such default will be waived,
rescinded and annulled by the Trustee by written notice given to the Borrower. In
addition, if the acceleration of the maturity of the Series 2013 Bonds has been annulled
and rescinded in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture, then the acceleration of
all loan payments and any other outstanding indebtedness under this Agreement will
likewise be annulled and rescinded. No such waiver, annulment or rescission will affect
any subsequent default or impair any right or remedy consequent thereon.
Section 5.2. Trustee May Enforce Demand. In case the Borrower shall have failed to
pay such principal and interest and other amounts upon demand, the Trustee, in its own name,
may institute such actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the amounts so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree,
and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Borrower and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable out of the property of the Borrower wherever situated, in the
manner provided by law.
The Trustee shall, if permitted by law, be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid either
before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the lien of this
Agreement; and the right of the Trustee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by the
exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this
Agreement.
Any moneys thus collected by the Trustee under this Section shall be applied by the
Trustee as follows:
FIRST: to the payment of all reasonable advances by the Issuer or the Trustee with
interest at the prime rate of interest charged by the Trustee from time to time, and all reasonable
expenses and disbursements.
-19-
SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Series 2013
Note in respect of which such money shall have been collected, ratably and without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable upon the Series 2013 Note, upon
presentation of the Series 2013 Note and the notation thereon of such payment, if partly paid, and
upon surrender thereon if fully paid.
Section 5.3. Remedies Cumulative. No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy or remedies, and each and every such
remedy shall be cumulative, and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
Section 5.4. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any event of default shall impair any such right or
power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such event of default or an acquiescence
therein; and every power and remedy given by this Agreement to the Trustee may be exercised
from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient by the Trustee.
Section 5.5. Waiver of Extension, Appraisement or Stay Laws. To the extent
permitted by law, the Borrower will not during the continuance of any event of default hereunder
insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatever claim or take any benefit or advantage of, any
stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect
the covenants and terms of performance of this Agreement; and the Borrower hereby expressly
waives all benefits or advantage of any such law or laws and covenants not to hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted or delegated to the Trustee, but to suffer and
permit the execution of every power as though no such law or laws had been made or enacted.
Section 5.6. Remedies Subject to Provisions of Law. All rights, remedies and powers
provided by this Article may be exercised only to the extent that the exercise thereof does not
violate any applicable provision of law in the premises, and all the provisions of this Article V
are intended to be subject to all applicable mandatory provisions of law which may be
controlling in the premises and to be limited to the extent necessary so that they will not render
this Agreement invalid or unenforceable under the provisions of any applicable law.

The proceeds of the Series 2013 Bonds shall be paid over to the Trustee and deposited to

Section 2.8. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed Series 2013 Bonds. If any Series 2013
Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee may
authenticate a new Series 2013 Bond of like date, maturity and denomination as that mutilated,
lost, stolen or destroyed; provided that, in the case of any mutilated Series 2013 Bond, such
mutilated Series 2013 Bond shall first be surrendered to the Issuer, and in the case of any lost,
stolen or destroyed Series 2013 Bond, there shall be first furnished to the Trustee evidence of
-19-
such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee, together with indemnity satisfactory to
it.
If any such Series 2013 Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a duplicate Series
2013 Bond, the Issuer may pay the same without surrender thereof; provided, however, that in
the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Series 2013 Bond, there shall be first furnished to the
Trustee evidence of such loss, theft or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee, together with

registered Series 2013 Bond at the principal office of the Trustee, duly endorsed by, or

Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new fully registered Series 2013 Bond or Series 2013 Bonds of the same series and
maturity for a like aggregate principal amount. The execution by the Issuer of any fully
registered Series 2013 Bond without coupons of any denomination shall constitute full and due
authorization of such denomination, and the Trustee shall thereby be authorized to authenticate
and deliver such registered Series 2013 Bond. The Trustee shall not be required to transfer or
exchange any fully registered Series 2013 Bond during the period between the Record Date and
any interest payment date of such Series 2013 Bond, nor to transfer or exchange any Series 2013
Bond after the mailing of notice calling such Series 2013 Bond for redemption has been made,
nor during a period of fifteen (15) days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption of any
Series 2013 Bonds.
As to any fully registered Series 2013 Bond, the person in whose name the same shall be
registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and
payment of principal or interest thereon shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered
owner thereof or its legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove
provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability
upon such Series 2013 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.
Section 2.10. Book Entry System. The Issuer has determined that the Series 2013 Bonds
may be held by a central depository system pursuant to an agreement between the Issuer and The
Depository Trust Company, with transfers of the Series 2013 Bonds to be effected by book entry
on the books of the central depository system. The Series 2013 Bonds shall be initially issued in
the form of a separate single authenticated fully registered bond for the aggregate principal
amount of each separate maturity of the Series 2013 Bonds. Upon initial issuance, the ownership
of such Series 2013 Bonds shall be registered in the register kept by the Registrar in the name of
Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company.
-20-
With respect to the Series 2013 Bonds registered in the register kept by the Paying Agent
in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, the Issuer and the
Paying Agent shall have no responsibility or obligation to any other holders or owners (including
any beneficial owner ("Beneficial Owner")) of the Series 2013 Bonds with respect to (i) the
accuracy of the records of The Depository Trust Company, Cede & Co., or any Beneficial Owner
with respect to ownership questions, (ii) the delivery to any Bondholder (including any
Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than The Depository Trust Company, of any notice
with respect to the Series 2013 Bonds, including any notice of redemption, or (iii) the payment to
any Bondholder (including any Beneficial Owner) or any other person, other than The
Depository Trust Company, of any amount with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest on the Series 2013 Bonds, except as otherwise provided herein.
No person other than The Depository Trust Company shall receive an authenticated
Series 2013 Bond evidencing an obligation of the Issuer to make payments of the principal of
and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2013 Bonds pursuant to this Indenture. The
Issuer and the Registrar and Paying Agent may treat as, and deem The Depository Trust
Company or Cede & Co. to be, the absolute holder of each of the Series 2013 Bonds for the
purpose of(i)payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Series 2013
Bonds; (ii) giving notices of redemption and other notices permitted to be given to Bondholders
with respect to such Series 2013 Bonds; (iii) registering transfers with respect to such Series
2013 Bonds; (iv) obtaining any consent or other action required or permitted to be taken by
Bondholders; (v) voting; and (vi) for all other purposes whatsoever. The Paying Agent shall pay
all principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2013 Bonds only to or upon the
order of The Depository Trust Company, and all such payments shall be valid and effective fully
to satisfy and discharge the Issuer's and the Paying Agent's obligations with respect to principal
of and premium, if any, and interest on the Series 2013 Bonds to the extent of the sum or sums so
paid. Upon delivery by The Depository Trust Company to the Issuer of written notice to the
effect that The Depository Trust Company has determined to substitute a new nominee in place
of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions herein with respect to consents, the words " Cede &
Co." in this Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of The Depository Trust Company.
Notwithstanding any other provision hereof to the contrary, so long as any Series 2013 Bond is
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company, all
payments with respect to the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on such Series 2013
Bond and all notices with respect to such Series 2013 Bond shall be made and given to The
Depository Trust Company as provided in a representation letter from the Issuer to The
Depository Trust Company.
Upon receipt by the Issuer of written notice from The Depository Trust Company to the
effect that The Depository Trust Company is unable or unwilling to discharge its responsibilities
and if no substitute depository can be found which is willing and able to undertake the functions
of The Depository Trust Company hereunder upon reasonable and customary terms, then the
Series 2013 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the register of the Issuer
kept by the Registrar in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company,
but may be registered in whatever name or names the Bondholders transferring or exchanging
Series 2013 Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
-21-
If the Issuer determines that it is in the best interest of the Bondholders that they be able
to obtain certificates for the Series 2013 Bonds, the Issuer may notify The Depository Trust
Company and the Registrar, whereupon The Depository Trust Company will notify the
Beneficial Owners of the availability through The Depository Trust Company of certificates for
the Series 2013 Bonds. In such event, the Registrar shall prepare, authenticate, transfer and
exchange certificates for the Series 2013 Bonds as requested by The Depository Trust Company
and any Beneficial Owners in appropriate amounts, and whenever The Depository Trust
Company requests the Issuer and the Registrar to do so, the Registrar and the Issuer will
cooperate with The Depository Trust Company by taking appropriate action after reasonable
notice (i)to make available one or more separate certificates evidencing the fully registered
Series 2013 Bonds of any Beneficial Owner's Depository Trust Company account or (ii)to
arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of certificates for and evidencing
the Series 2013 Bonds.
If the Series 2013 Bonds shall no longer be restricted to being registered in the name of a
depository trust company, the Registrar shall cause the Series 2013 Bonds to be printed in blank
in such number as the Registrar shall determine to be necessary or customary; provided, however,
that the Registrar shall not be required to have such Series 2013 Bonds printed until it shall have
received from the Issuer indemnification for all costs and expenses associated with such printing.
In connection with any notice or other communication to be provided to Bondholders by
the Issuer or the Registrar with respect to any consent or other action to be taken by Bondholders,
the Issuer or the Registrar, as the case may be, shall establish a record date for such consent or
other action and give The Depository Trust Company notice of such record date not less than
fifteen (15) calendar days in advance of such record date to the extent possible.
So long as the Series 2013 Bonds are registered in the name of The Depository Trust
Company or Cede & Co. or any substitute nominee, the Issuer and the Registrar and Paying
Agent shall be entitled to request and to rely upon a certificate or other written representation
from the Beneficial Owners of the Series 2013 Bonds or from The Depository Trust Company on
behalf of such Beneficial Owners stating the amount of their respective beneficial ownership
interests in the Series 2013 Bonds and setting forth the consent, advice, direction, demand or
vote of the Beneficial Owners as of a record date selected by the Registrar and The Depository
Trust Company, to the same extent as if such consent, advice, direction, demand or vote were
made by the Bondholders for purposes of this Indenture, and the Issuer and the Registrar and
Paying Agent shall for such purposes treat the Beneficial Owners as the Bondholders. Along
with any such certificate or representation, the Registrar may request The Depository Trust
Company to deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Registrar a list of all Beneficial Owners of
the Series 2013 Bonds, together with the dollar amount of each Beneficial Owner's interest in the
Series 2013 Bonds and the current addresses of such Beneficial Owners.
If the Book Entry System is no longer in effect, registered owners of Series 2013 Bonds
may, upon surrender thereof at the principal corporate trust office of the Trustee with a written
instrument of transfer satisfactory to the Trustee, exchange a Series 2013 Bond or Series 2013
Bonds for a Series 2013 Bond or Series 2013 Bonds of equal aggregate principal amount of the
same maturity and interest rate of any authorized denominations. For every exchange or transfer
-22-
of Series 2013 Bonds, the Trustee may make a charge sufficient to reimburse it for any tax, fee
or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer,
which shall be paid by the person requesting such exchange or transfer as a condition precedent
to the exercise of the privilege of making such exchange or transfer. The cost of preparing each
new Series 2013 Bond upon each exchange or transfer, and any other expenses of the Trustee
incurred in connection therewith (except any applicable tax, fee or other governmental charge)
shall be paid by the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be obligated to make any transfer or exchange
of any Series 2013 Bond called for redemption within thirty days of the redemption date.

the Project a certificate of the Authorized Representative of the Borrower:
(i) stating the date that the Project was completed; and
(ii) stating that it has made such investigation of such sources of information
as are deemed by him to be necessary, including pertinent records of the
Issuer, and that it is of the opinion that the Project has been fully paid for,
and that no claim or claims exist against the Borrower or the Issuer or
against the properties of either out of which a lien based on furnishing
labor or material for the Project exists or might ripen; provided, however,
that there may be excepted from the foregoing statement any claim or
claims out of which a lien exists or might ripen if the Borrower intends to
contest such claim or claims, in which event such claim or claims shall be
described; provided, further, however, that it shall be stated that funds are
on deposit in the Construction Fund sufficient to make payment of the full
amount which might in any event be payable in order to satisfy such claim
or claims.
If such certificate shall state that there is a claim or claims in controversy which create or
might ripen into a lien, there shall be filed with the Issuer and the Trustee a certificate of the
Borrower when and as such claim or claims shall have been fully paid.
If, after payment by the Trustee of all orders theretofore tendered to the Trustee under the

Series 2013 Bond Fund shall serve as a credit against the Borrower's obligations under the Series
2013 Note and the Agreement with respect to the Series 2013 Bonds. On or before each
January 5 and July 5, the Trustee shall notify the Borrower in writing of the amount of the credit
and the amount of any balance due from the Borrower on the next payment date. Any excess
TIF Revenues remaining after the payment of interest due shall be used to pay principal on the
Bonds, and shall reduce the principal amount of the Bonds accordingly.
Section 4.5. Trust Funds. All moneys and securities received by the Trustee under the
provisions of this Indenture shall be trust funds under the terms hereof and shall not be subject to
-27-
lien or attachment of any creditor of the Issuer or of the Borrower. Such moneys shall be held in
trust and applied in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

and without premium.
Section 5.2. Notice of Redemption. In the case of redemption of Series 2013 Bonds
pursuant to Section 5.1 hereof, notice of the call for any such redemption identifying the Series

of the redemption notice by first class mail not less than ten (10) days nor more than sixty (60)

Bond numbers and called amounts of each Series 2013 Bond, the redemption date, redemption
price, interest rate, maturity date and the name and address of the Trustee and the Paying Agent;
provided, however, that failure to give such notice by mailing, or any defect therein, with respect
to any such Series 2013 Bond shall not affect the validity of any proceedings for the redemption
of other Series 2013 Bonds.
On and after the redemption date specified in the aforesaid notice, such Series 2013
Bonds, or portions thereof, thus called shall not bear interest, shall no longer be protected by this

Trustee shall select by lot (meaning also random selection by computer) in such manner as the
Trustee, in its discretion, may determine, the Series 2013 Bonds or portions of Series 2013
Bonds within such maturity that shall be redeemed. The Trustee shall call for redemption in
accordance with the foregoing provisions as many Series 2013 Bonds or portions thereof as will,
as nearly as practicable, exhaust the moneys available therefor. Particular Series 2013 Bonds or
portions thereof shall be redeemed only in amounts such that the Series 2013 Bonds remaining
outstanding thereafter will be in the minimum principal amount of$100,000 and any $1 integral
multiples in excess thereof.

outstanding is called for redemption, then upon notice of redemption given as provided in

Series 2013 Bond to the Paying Agent in exchange for (a) payment of the redemption price and
accrued interest on the principal amount called for redemption and (b) a new Series 2013 Bond
or Series 2013 Bonds of like series in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed
balance of the principal amount of such registered Series 2013 Bond, which shall be issued

Series 2013 Bonds according to the true intent and meaning thereof. The principal, interest and
premium, if any, on the Series 2013 Bonds are payable solely and only from the Trust Estate,
consisting of funds and accounts held under this Indenture, TIF Revenues and the payments to be
made on the Series 2013 Note which payments are hereby specifically pledged and assigned to
the payment thereof in the manner and to the extent herein specified (subject to any Additional
Parity TIF Revenue Pledges), and nothing in the Series 2013 Bonds or in this Indenture should
be considered as pledging any other funds or assets of the Issuer. The Series 2013 Bonds, and
the interest payable thereon, do not and shall not represent or constitute a debt of the
Issuer within the meaning of the provisions of the constitution or statutes of the State of
Indiana or a pledge of the faith and credit of the Issuer. The Series 2013 Bonds, as to both
principal and interest, are not an obligation or liability of the State of Indiana, or of any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof, but are a special limited obligation of the
Issuer and are payable solely and only from the Trust Estate, consisting of funds and
accounts held under this Indenture, the TIF Revenues and payments to be made on the
Series 2013 Note issued under the Agreement pledged and assigned for their payment in

Issuer, the State of Indiana or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof is
pledged to the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series 2013
Bonds. The Series 2013 Bonds do not grant the owners or holders thereof any right to have
the Issuer, the State of Indiana or its General Assembly, or any political subdivision or
taxing authority of the State of Indiana, levy any taxes or appropriate any funds for the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Series 2013 Bonds. The
Issuer has no taxing power with respect to the Series 2013 Bonds. No covenant or
agreement contained in the Series 2013 Bonds or this Indenture shall be deemed to be a
covenant or agreement of the Redevelopment Commission, the Economic Development
Commission, the Issuer or of any member, director, officer, agent, attorney or employee of
the Redevelopment Commission, the Economic Development Commission or the Issuer in
his or her individual capacity, and neither the Redevelopment Commission, the Economic
Development Commission, the Issuer nor any member, director, officer, agent, attorney or
employee of the Redevelopment Commission, the Economic Development Commission or
the Issuer executing the Series 2013 Bonds shall be liable personally on the Series 2013
Bonds or be subject to any personal liability or accountability by reason of the issuance of

is duly authorized under the constitution and laws of the State of Indiana to issue the Series 2013
-31-
Bonds authorized hereby and to execute this Indenture, and to pledge and assign the Series 2013

relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and subject to the valid exercise of the
constitutional powers of the Issuer, the State of Indiana and the United States of America.
Section 6.3. Ownership; Instruments of Further Assurance. The Issuer represents that at
the time of the pledge and assignment thereof it will lawfully own the Series 2013 Note and that
such pledge and assignment and the assignment of the Agreement to the Trustee hereby made
will be valid and lawful. The Issuer covenants that it will defend the title to the Series 2013 Note
and its interest in the Agreement to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders and owners of the
Series 2013 Bonds against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. The Issuer
covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed,
acknowledged and delivered, such indentures supplemental hereto and such further acts,
instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring,
transferring, mortgaging, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee, the

time to be filed in such manner and in such places as may be required by law in order to fully
preserve and protect the lien hereof and the security of the holders and owners of the Series 2013
Bonds and the rights of the Trustee hereunder. This Section 6.4 shall impose no duty to record
or file the instruments noted above where filing or recordation is not required by law in order to
perfect a security interest. Continuation of financing statements may be filed without consent of
the debtor party thereto.
Section 6.5. List of Bondholders. The Trustee will keep on file at the principal office of

authority of any such designated representative to be evidenced to the satisfaction of the Trustee.
Section 6.6. Rights Under Agreement. The Issuer agrees that the Trustee in its name or
in the name of the Issuer may enforce all rights of the Issuer and all obligations of the Borrower
under and pursuant to the Agreement for and on behalf of the Bondholders, whether or not the

Section 6.7. Investment of Funds. Moneys in the Funds established under this Indenture
may be invested in Qualified Investments to the extent and in the manner provided for in
Section 3.8 of the Agreement. The Trustee shall not be liable or responsible for any loss
resulting from any such investment. The interest accruing thereon and any profit realized from
such investments shall be credited, and any loss resulting from such investments shall be charged,
to the fund in which the money was deposited.
Section 6.8. Non-presentment of Series 2013 Bonds. If any Series 2013 Bond shall not
be presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either at maturity, or at the
date fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, if funds sufficient to pay any such Series 2013
Bond shall have been made available to the Paying Agent for the benefit of the holder or holders
thereof, all liability of the Issuer to the holder thereof for the payment of such Series 2013 Bond
shall forthwith cease, determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be the duty
of the Paying Agent to hold such funds for five (5) years without liability for interest thereon, for
the benefit of the holder of such Series 2013 Bond, who shall thereafter be restricted exclusively
to such funds, for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Indenture or on, or with
respect to, such Series 2013 Bond.

payment of Series 2013 Bonds within five (5) years after the date on which the same shall
become due shall be repaid by the Paying Agent to the Borrower, and thereafter, Bondholders
shall be entitled to look only to the Borrower for payment, and then only to the extent of the

liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Trustee or the Issuer and the creation of a
reasonable reserve for anticipated fees, costs and expenses, shall be deposited into the Series
2013 Bond Fund and all moneys in the Series 2013 Bond Fund shall be applied as follows:
(a) Unless the principal of all the Series 2013 Bonds shall have become or shall have
been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied:
First: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest
then due on the Series 2013 Bonds, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such
interest, and if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular
installment, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such
installment, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; and
Second: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of
and premium, if any, of the Series 2013 Bonds which shall have become due (other than

amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any
discrimination or privilege.
Third: To the payment of the balance, if any, to the Borrower or its successors or
assigns, upon the written request of the Borrower, except for any remaining TIF
Revenues (which shall be paid to the Issuer), or to whosoever may be lawfully entitled to

(b) If the principal of all the Series 2013 Bonds shall have become due or shall have
been declared due and payable, all such moneys shall be applied to the payment of the principal
and interest then due and unpaid upon the Series 2013 Bonds, without preference or priority of

amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the persons entitled thereto without any
discrimination or privilege.

in the event that the principal of all the Series 2013 Bonds shall later become due or be declared
due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of subsection (a)
of this Section 7.5.
Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section 7.5, such
moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as the Trustee shall determine,
having due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and the likelihood of
additional moneys becoming available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee
shall apply such funds, it shall fix the date (which shall be an interest payment date unless it shall
deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is to be made, and upon such date
interest on the amounts of principal to be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue. The Trustee
shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any such moneys and
of the fixing of any such date and shall not be required to make payment to the holder of any
Series 2013 Bond until such Series 2013 Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appropriate
endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.

proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any of the Series 2013 Bonds may be enforced by
the Trustee without the possession of any of the Series 2013 Bonds or the production thereof in
any trial or other proceedings relating thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted by the
Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or

shall have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law for the
-36-
enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust thereof or for the appointment of a
receiver or any other remedy hereunder, unless a default has occurred of which the Trustee has
been notified or is deemed to have notice as provided in Section 8.1(g) hereof, nor unless also
such default shall have become an event of default and the holders of all Series 2013 Bonds then
outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have offered reasonable
opportunity either to proceed to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted or to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name, nor unless also they have offered to the Trustee
indemnity as provided in Section 8.1(1) hereof, nor unless the Trustee shall thereafter fail or
refuse to exercise the powers hereinbefore granted, or to institute such action, suit or proceeding
in its, his, or their own name or names. Such notification, request and offer of indemnity are
hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be conditions precedent to the
execution of the powers and trusts of this Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the
enforcement of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy
hereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more holders of the Series 2013

herein provided, and that all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and
maintained in the manner herein provided and for the equal benefit of the holders of all Series

and interest on each of the Series 2013 Bonds issued hereunder to the respective holders thereof
at the time and place, from the source and in the manner in said Series 2013 Bonds expressed.
Section 7.8. Termination of Proceedings. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a receiver, or otherwise, and such
proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely, then and in every such case the Issuer, the Borrower and the Trustee shall
be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, with respect to the Trust
Estate, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such
proceedings had been taken.
Section 7.9. Waivers of Events of Default. The Trustee may in its discretion waive any
event of default hereunder and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of
principal of and interest on the Series 2013 Bonds, and shall do so upon the written request of the
holders of (1) all the Series 2013 Bonds then outstanding in respect of which default in the
payment of principal and/or premium, if any, and/or interest exists, or (2) all Series 2013 Bonds
then outstanding in the case of any other default; provided, however, that there shall not be
waived (a) any event of default in the payment of the principal of any outstanding Series 2013
Bonds at the date of maturity specified therein, or (b) any default in the payment when due of the
interest on any such Series 2013 Bonds unless prior to such waiver or rescission, arrears of
interest, with interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate borne by the Series 2013 Bonds
in respect of which such default shall have occurred on overdue installments of interest or all
arrears of payments of principal and premium, if any, when due, as the case may be, and all
expenses of the Trustee in connection with such default, shall have been paid or provided for,
and in case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any proceeding taken by the Trustee on
account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely,
-37-
then and in every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Bondholders shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or rescission shall extend
to any subsequent or other default, or impair any right consequent thereon.

bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or
agreements on the part of the Issuer or on the part of the Borrower under the Agreement;but the

(d) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent,
certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document believed to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by
the Trustee pursuant to this 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 Series
2013 Bond shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Series 2013 Bond
and upon Series 2013 Bonds issued in exchange therefore or in place thereof
-39-
(e) As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity
of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate
signed on behalf of the Issuer or the Borrower by its duly authorized officers as sufficient
evidence of the facts therein contained and, prior to the occurrence of a default of which pursuant
to the Trustee has been notified as provided in subsection (g) of this Section, or of which under
said subsection it is deemed to have notice, shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate
to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may
in its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case
be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the Issuer or the Borrower
under its seal to the effect that an ordinance or resolution in the form therein set forth has been
adopted by the Issuer or the Borrower as conclusive evidence that such ordinance or resolution
has been duly adopted and is in full force and effect.
(f) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall
not be construed as a duty, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross
negligence or willful misconduct; provided, however, that the provisions of this subsection shall
not affect the duties of the Trustee hereunder, including the provisions of Article VII hereof
(g) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of
any event of default hereunder (other than payment of the principal and interest on the Series

Series 2013 Bonds then outstanding, and all notices or other instruments required by this
Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the
principal corporate trust office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered, the
Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid.
(h) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any debts contracted or for damages
to persons or to personal property injured or damaged, or for salaries or nonfulfillment of
contracts during any period in which it may be in possession of or managing the Trust Estate.
(i) At any and all reasonable times and upon reasonable prior written notice, the
Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and
representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect the Trust Estate, and to take such memoranda
from and in regard thereto as may be desired.
(j) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the
execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises.
(k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture contained, the Trustee shall
have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Series
2013 Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any action whatsoever
within the purview of this Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other
information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof
required as a condition of such action by the Trustee, deemed desirable for the authentication of
-40-
any Series 2013 Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the
Trustee.
(1) Before taking any action under this Indenture relating to an event of default or in
connection with its duties under this Indenture other than making payments of principal and
interest on the Bonds as they become due or causing an acceleration of the Series 2013 Bonds
whenever required by this Indenture, the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond
be furnished for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it
against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its gross
negligence or willful misconduct in connection with any action so taken. Such indemnity shall
survive the termination of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
(m) All moneys received by the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall, until used or
applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were
received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
Neither the Trustee nor the Paying Agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys
received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon.
(n) If any event of default under this Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing,
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and shall
use the same degree of care as a prudent man would exercise or use in the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.

statement or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other disclosure
material prepared or distributed with respect to the Series 2013 Bonds, except for any

state or federal securities laws in connection with the Series 2013 Bonds.
(p) The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to

electronic methods, provided, however, that (a) the Borrower, subsequent to such transmission of
written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee
in a timely manner, (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by a
person as may be designated and authorized to sign for the Borrower or in the name of the
Borrower, by an authorized representative of the Borrower, and (c) the Borrower shall provide to
the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing such designated persons, which incumbency
certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the
Borrower elects to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar
electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the
Trustee's understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not
be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee's reliance
upon and compliance with such instructions regardless of whether such instructions conflict with
or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Borrower agrees to assume all
risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the
-41-
Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions,
and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

payment prior to payment on account of interest or principal of, or premium, if any, on any
Series 2013 Bond for the foregoing advances, fees, costs and expenses incurred.

which the Trustee is by Section 8.1(g) hereof required to take notice or if notice of an event of
default be given as in said Section 8.1(g) provided, then the Trustee shall give written notice
thereof by registered or certified mail to the last known holders of all Series 2013 Bonds then
outstanding shown by the list of Bondholders required by the terms of this Indenture to be kept at
the office of the Trustee.
Section 8.4. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to 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 holders of the Series 2013 Bonds, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of
Bondholders and, subject to the provisions of Section 8.1(1), shall do so if requested in writing
by the owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in aggregate principal amount of all Series
2013 Bonds then outstanding. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are
subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction.

may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or
association resulting from any such conversion, merger or consolidation, ipso facto, shall be and
become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the whole property or trust
estate and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was
its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or
conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that any such successor Trustee shall meet the requirements
of a successor Trustee under Section 8.8 hereof.
Section 8.6. Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at
any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving thirty days' written notice to the Issuer
and the Borrower and by registered or certified mail to each registered owner of Series 2013

Bondholders required by this Indenture to be kept at the office of the Trustee, and such
resignation shall take effect at the end of such thirty (30) days, or upon the earlier appointment of
a successor Trustee by the Bondholders or by the Issuer. Such notice to the Issuer and the
Borrower may be served personally or sent by registered or certified mail.

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 it shall
be taken under 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 Series
2013 Bonds then outstanding, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by
such owners, or by their attorneys-in-fact, duly authorized; provided, nevertheless, that in case of
such vacancy, the Issuer, by an instrument executed by one of its duly authorized officers, may
appoint a temporary Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by
the Bondholders 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 Bondholders. Every such Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section
shall be a trust company or bank, having a reported capital and surplus of not less than One
Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able
to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms.
Section 8.9. Concerning Any Successor Trustees. Every successor Trustee appointed
hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Issuer and the
Borrower an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such
successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its successor, execute
and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights,
powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all
securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in
writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting
in such successor the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in
the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed,
acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The resignation of any Trustee and the instrument or
instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other
instruments provided for in this Article, shall be filed by the successor Trustee in each office, if
any, where this Indenture shall have been filed.
Section 8.10. Trustee Protected in Relying Upon Resolutions, etc.. Subject to the
conditions contained herein, the resolutions, ordinances, opinions, certificates and other
instruments provided for in this Indenture may be accepted by the Trustee as conclusive evidence
of the facts and conclusions stated therein and shall be full warrant, protection and authority to
the Trustee for the release of property and the withdrawal of cash hereunder.
Section 8.11. Appointment of Paying Agent and Registrar; Resignation or Removal of
Paying Agent. The Trustee is hereby appointed the initial "Paying Agent" under this Indenture.
Any Paying Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations created
-43-
by this instrument and any supplemental indenture by giving at least sixty (60) days' written
notice to the Issuer, the Borrower and the Trustee. Any Paying Agent may be removed at any
time by an instrument, filed with such Paying Agent and the Trustee and signed by the Issuer and
the Borrower. Any successor Paying Agent shall be appointed by the Issuer at the direction of
the Borrower and shall be a bank or trust company duly organized under the laws of any state of
the United States or a national banking association, in each case having a capital stock and
surplus aggregating at least One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000), willing and able to
accept the office on reasonable and customary terms and authorized by law to perform all the
duties imposed upon it by this Indenture.
In the event of the resignation or removal of any Paying Agent, such Paying Agent shall

or if there if no successor, to the Trustee.

laws of Indiana.
Section 11.2. Defeasance of Series 2013 Bonds. Any Series 2013 Bond shall be deemed
to be paid and no longer Outstanding within the meaning of this Article XI and for all purposes

paragraph has been made with the Trustee and that the Series 2013 Bonds are deemed to have
been paid in accordance with this Section 11.2 and stating the maturity or redemption date upon

All moneys so deposited with the Trustee as provided in this Section 11.2 may also be
invested and reinvested, at the written direction of the Borrower, in Governmental Obligations,
maturing in the amounts and at the times as hereinbefore set forth, and all income from all
Governmental Obligations in the hands of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 11.2 which is not
required for the payment of principal of the Series 2013 Bonds and interest and premium, if any,
thereon with respect to which such moneys shall have been so deposited shall be deposited into
the Series 2013 Bond Fund as and when realized and collected for use and application in the
same manner as are other moneys deposited into the Series 2013 Bond Fund.

presents that Series 2013 Bond to the Trustee with an instrument satisfactory to the Trustee
waiving all claims for payment of that Series 2013 Bond, the Trustee shall cancel that Series
2013 Bond and the Bondholder shall have no further claim against the Trust Estate, the Issuer or
the Borrower with respect to that Series 2013 Bond.
-49-
Section 11.4. Application of Trust Money. All money or investments deposited with or
held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 11.1 shall be held in trust for the holders of the Series
2013 Bonds, and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Series 2013 Bonds and
this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through the Paying Agent, to the persons entitled
thereto, of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest for the payment of which such money
has been deposited with the Trustee; but such money or obligations need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

objection or other instrument required by this Indenture to be executed by the Bondholders may
be in any number of concurrent writings of similar tenor and may be executed by such
Bondholders in person or by agent appointed in writing; provided, however, that whenever this
Indenture or the Agreement requires that any such consent or other action be taken by the holders
of a specified percentage, fraction or majority of the Series 2013 Bonds outstanding, any such
Series 2013 Bonds held by or for the account of the following persons shall not be deemed to be
outstanding hereunder for the purpose of determining whether such requirement has been met:
the Issuer, any of its members, the Borrower, or the directors, trustees, officers or members of
the Borrower. For all other purposes, Series 2013 Bonds held by or for the account of such
person shall be deemed to be outstanding hereunder. Proof of the execution of any such consent,
request, direction, approval, objection or other instrument or of the writing appointing any such
agent and of the ownership of Series 2013 Bonds, if made in the following manner, shall be
sufficient for any of the purposes of this Indenture, and shall be conclusive in favor of the
Trustee with regard to any action taken under such request or other instrument, namely:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such writing may be
proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction who by law has power to take
acknowledgments within such jurisdiction that the person signing such writing acknowledged
before him the execution thereof, or by affidavit of any witness to such execution.
(b) The fact of the holding by any person of Series 2013 Bonds transferable by
delivery and the amounts and numbers of such Series 2013 Bonds, and the date of the holding of
the same, may be proved by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank or bankers,
wherever situated, stating that at the date thereof the party named therein did exhibit to an officer
of such trust company or bank or to such banker, as the property of such party, the Series 2013
Bonds therein mentioned if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory.
The Trustee may, in its discretion, require evidence that such Series 2013 Bonds have been
deposited with a bank, bankers or trust company, before taking any action based on such
ownership. In lieu of the foregoing, the Trustee may accept other proofs of the foregoing as it
shall deem appropriate.
For all purposes of this Indenture and of the proceedings for the enforcement hereof, such
person shall be deemed to continue to be the holder of such Series 2013 Bond until the Trustee
shall have received notice in writing to the contrary.
Section 11.6. Limitation of Rights. With the exception of rights herein expressly
conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied from this Indenture or the Series
-50-
2013 Bonds is intended to be or shall be construed to give to any person other than the parties
hereto, the Borrower, and the holders of the Series 2013 Bonds, any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under or in respect to this Indenture or any covenants, conditions and provisions
herein contained, this Indenture and all of the covenants, conditions and provisions hereof being
intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, the Borrower
and the holders of the Series 2013 Bonds as herein provided.
Section 11.7. Severability. If any provision of this Indenture shall be held or deemed to
be or shall, in fact, be inoperative or unenforceable as applied in any particular case in any
jurisdiction or jurisdictions or in all jurisdictions, or in all cases because it conflicts with any
other provision or provisions hereof or any constitution or statute or rule of public policy, or for
any other reason, such circumstances shall not have the effect of rendering the provision in
question inoperative or unenforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any
