prepared by it including any and all supplements, amendments, and additions
(or deletions) thereto (or therefrom); provided, however, that such
other facilities and property contemplated by such supplements, amendments,
additions, or deletions to the plans and specifications shall not materially
impair the effective use or character of the Project as contemplated
by this Agreement or disqualify the Project as a project within the
meaning of the Act, or result in the interest on any Bonds becoming
includable in the gross income of the owners of the Bonds for
federal income tax purposes.
In the event that Exhibit A hereto is to be amended or
supplemented in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.01 of the
Indenture, the Issuer will enter into, and will instruct the Trustee
to consent to, an amendment of or supplement to Exhibit A hereto
upon receipt of:

in the interest on the Bonds becoming includable in the gross income of the
owners of the Bonds for federal income tax purposes.
Section 3.2. Operation of Project. The Company will not
make any material change in its use of the Project from that described in

interest on the Bonds from the gross income of owners of the Bonds for federal
income tax purposes.

it as a "project" as contemplated by the Act and will operate the Project in
such a manner such that it will not impair the exclusion of interest on the
Bonds from gross income of the owners of the Bonds for federal income tax
purposes.
Upon a sale of all or any portion of the Company"s interest
in the Project, the Company will obtain the agreement of the purchaser of the
Project or interest therein to comply with the provisions of this Section 3.2,

paid for (other than costs and expenses for which payment has been
withheld), (ii) all other facilities necessary in connection with the
Project have been constructed, acquired, and installed in accordance with the
plans, specifications, and work orders therefor and all
costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith (other than
costs and expenses for which payment has been withheld) have been paid,
and (iii) at least 95% of the costs previously disbursed
and to be disbursed from the Project Account (including moneys to
be disbursed in accordance with the next succeeding paragraph of this Section
3.3) are Qualified Costs of Construction, and all of such
costs are costs permitted by the Act. The Company may withhold
payment and direct the Trustee to retain in the Project Account an amount
sufficient to pay any Cost of the Project which has been incurred; such
retained moneys shall be disbursed after the Completion Date in the manner
provided in Section 4.2 thereof. If the Company withholds the payment of
any such cost or expense of the Project the certificate shall state the amount
of such withholding and the reason therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such certificate may 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. It shall be the duty of the
Company to cause such certificate to be furnished to the
Trustee within 60 days after the Project shall have been completed.
Moneys (including investment proceeds) remaining in the
Project Account on the Completion Date may be used, at the direction of the
Authorized Company Representative, to the extent indicated, for one or more
of the following purposes:
(1) for the payment, in accordance with the provisions
of this Agreement, of any Cost of the Project not theretofore paid,
as specified in the above-mentioned completion certificate; or
(2) for transfer to the Bond Fund, but only if, and to
the extent that, the Trustee has been furnished with an opinion of Bond
Counsel to the effect that such transfer is lawful under the Act and does not
adversely affect the exclusion from federal gross income of interest
on any of the Bonds.
Any moneys (including investment proceeds) remaining in
the Project Account on the Completion Date and not set aside for the payment
of Costs of the Project as specified in (1) above or transferred to the Bond
Fund pursuant to (2) above shall on such date be deposited by the Trustee in a
separate escrow account and used to pay all or part of the redemption price of
Bonds at the earliest redemption date or dates on which Bonds may be
redeemed without the payment of a premium or, at the option of the
Company, at an earlier redemption date or dates; provided that,
until so used such moneys may also be used, at the direction of the
Authorized Company Representative, for one or more of the following
purposes:
(a) to pay all or part of the price of purchasing Bonds
on tender, in the open market or at private sale, at a purchase price not in
excess of 100% of the principal amount of such Bonds plus accrued interest to
the date of such purchase for the purpose of cancellation;
(b) for the payment of qualifying costs of any
additional improvements to be installed or constructed in connection with the
Project; provided that such use of funds is permitted under the Act; or
(c) for any other purpose permitted by the Act; provided, that
the earnings on the investment of the moneys on deposit in such escrow
account shall be transferred on each interest payment date on the Bonds to the
Bond Fund and shall be used to pay interest on the Bonds coming due on
each interest payment date on the Bonds (or to reimburse the Bank for draws
under the Letter of Credit to pay interest on the Bonds), but no moneys on
deposit in such escrow account may be used for any of the purposes
specified in this paragraph (including the redemption of Bonds) unless and
until the Trustee has been furnished with an opinion of Bond Counsel to the
effect that such use is lawful under the Act and does not adversely affect the
exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the
interest on the Bonds; and provided further that, until used for one or more of
the foregoing purposes, moneys on deposit in such escrow account may be
invested in investments authorized by Section 4.3 of this Agreement, but
may not be invested to produce a yield on such moneys (computed
from the Completion Date and taking into account any investment of uch
moneys during the period from the Completion Date until
such moneys were deposited in such escrow account) greater than
the yield on the Bonds from which such proceeds were derived, all as such
terms are used in and determined in accordance with section
148 of the Code and regulations promulgated thereunder.
In the event the moneys in the Project Account available for
payment of the Costs of the Project should not be sufficient to pay the costs
therefor, in full, the Company agrees to pay directly
or to deposit in the Project Account moneys sufficient to pay, the
costs of completing the Project as may be in excess of the moneys available
therefor in the Project Account. The Issuer does not make any warranty,
either express or implied, that the moneys which will be paid into the Project
Account and which, under the provisions of this Agreement, will be
available for payment of the Costs of the Project, will be sufficient to pay
all he costs which will be incurred in that connection. The Company
agrees that if after exhaustion of the moneys in the Project Account
the Company should pay, or deposit moneys in the Project Account for the
payment of any portion of the said costs of the Project
pursuant to the provisions of this Section it shall not be entitled to

term of this Agreement, it will remain qualified to do business in the State.
Section 6.3. Financial Reports. The Company agrees to
have an annual audit made by its regular independent certified public
accountants and to furnish the Trustee (within 60 days after receipt by the
Company) with a balance sheet and statement of income and surplus showing
the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated
subsidiaries, if any, at the close of each fiscal year and the results of
operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, for each
fiscal year, accompanied by the opinion of said accountants. The
Trustee will hold such reports solely for the purpose of making them available
at its principal corporate trust office for examination by the Bondholders, and
is not required to notify the Bondholders of the contents of any such report.
Section 6.4. Arbitrage. The Company covenants with the
Issuer and for and on behalf of the purchasers and owners of the Bonds from
time to time outstanding that so long as any of the Bonds remain outstanding,
moneys on deposit in any fund in connection with the Bonds, whether or not
such moneys were derived from the proceeds of the sale of the
Bonds or from any other sources, will not be used in a manner which will
cause the Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of
section 148 of the Code, and any lawful regulations promulgated
thereunder, as the same exist on this date, or may from time to time hereafter
be amended, supplemented, or revised. The Company also covenants for the
benefit of the Bondholders to comply with all of the provisions of the Tax
Agreement and the Project Certificate. The Company reserves the
right, however, to make any investment of such moneys permitted by State
law, if, when and to the extent that said section 148 or regulations
promulgated thereunder shall be repealed or relaxed or shall be held void by
final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction, but only if any
investment made by virtue of such repeal, relaxation, or decision would not,
in the written opinion of Bond Counsel, result in making
the interest on the Bonds includible in the federal gross income of
the owners of the Bonds.
Section 6.5. Company"s Obligation with Respect to
Exclusion of Interest Paid on the Bonds. Notwithstanding any other
provision hereof, the Company covenants and agrees that it will not take
or authorize or permit, to the extent such action is within the
control of the Company, any action to be taken with respect to the Project, or
the proceeds of the Bonds (including investment earnings
thereon), or any other proceeds derived directly or indirectly in
connection with the Project, which will result in the loss of the exclusion of
interest on the Bonds from the federal gross income of the
owners of the Bonds under section 103 of the Code (except for any
Bond during any period while any such Bond is held by a person referred to
in section 147(a) of the Code; and the Company also will not omit to take any
action in its power which, if omitted, would cause the above result. Toward
that end, the Company covenants that it will comply with all
provisions of the Tax Agreement and the Project Certificate. This provision
shall control in case of conflict or ambiguity with any other provision of this
Agreement.
Section 6.6. Payment of Taxes. The Company will pay and
discharge promptly all lawful taxes, assessments, and other governmental
charges or levies imposed upon the Project, or upon any part
thereof, as well as all claims of any kind (including claims for
labor, materials, and supplies) which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien
or charge upon the Project; provided that the Company shall
not be required to pay any such tax, assessment, charge, levy, or
claim (i) if the amount, applicability, or validity thereof shall currently be
contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings promptly
initiated and diligently conducted; (ii) if the Company shall have
set aside on its books reserves (segregated to the extent required by generally
accepted accounting principles) with respect thereto
deemed adequate by the Company; and (iii) if failure to make such
payment will not impair the use of the Project by the Company.
Section 6.7. Insurance. The Company agrees to maintain,
or cause to be maintained, all necessary insurance with respect to the Project
in accordance with its customary insurance practices. The Issuer shall have
no obligation to maintain insurance with respect to the Project.

at all times during the term of this Agreement maintain, preserve, and keep
the Project in good repair, working order, and condition, excepting normal
wear and tear, and it will from time to time make or cause to be made all
necessary and proper repairs and replacements in connection with the
maintenance, repairs, and replacements referred to in this Section. The
Issuer shall have no obligation with respect to the maintenance or
repair of the Project.
Section 6.9. Financing Statements. The Company shall
cause such security agreements, financing statements, and all supplements
thereto and other instruments as may be required from time
to time to be kept, to be recorded and filed in such manner and in
such places as may be required by law in order to fully preserve, protect, and
perfect the security of the Owners of the Bonds and the rights of the Trustee,
and to perfect the security interest created by the Indenture.
Article VII
No Recourse to Issuer; Indemnification
Section 7.1. No Recourse to Issuer. The Issuer will not be
obligated to pay the Bonds except from revenues provided by the Company or
from other sources specified in the Indenture. The issuance of the Bonds will
not directly or indirectly or contingently obligate the Issuer, the Unit, or
the State to levy or pledge any form of taxation whatever or to make
any appropriation for their payment. Neither the Issuer or the Unit nor any
member or officer of the Issuer or the Unit nor any person executing the
Bonds shall be liable personally for the Bonds or be subject to any personal
liability or accountability by reason of the issuance of the Bonds.

The Company shall indemnify and hold the Issuer, the Unit and the Texas
Department of Commerce (including any official, agent, officer, director, or

claims asserted by or on behalf of any person, firm, corporation,
private, or municipal, arising or resulting from, or in any way connected with
(i) the financing, installation, operation, use, or maintenance of the Project,
(ii) any act, including negligent acts, failure to act, or intentional
misrepresentation by any person, firm, corporation, or
governmental authority, including the Issuer and the Unit (except that neither
the Issuer nor the Unit shall be indemnified for its willful
misconduct, bad faith, or fraud), in connection with the issuance,
sale, or delivery of the Bonds, (iii) any act, failure to act, or
misrepresentation by the Issuer or the Unit in connection with, or in
the performance of any obligation related to the issuance, sale, and
delivery of the Bonds or under this Agreement or the Indenture, or any other
agreement executed by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Unit, including all
liabilities, costs, and expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred in any
action or proceeding brought by reason of any such claim. In the event
that any action or proceeding is brought against the Issuer by reason of any
such claim, such action or proceeding shall be defended against by counsel as
the Issuer or the Unit shall determine, and the Company shall indemnify the
Issuer and the Unit for costs of such counsel. The Company upon
notice from the Issuer shall defend such an action or proceeding on behalf of
the Issuer or the Unit. The Company shall also indemnify the Issuer and the
Unit from and against all costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees,
lawfully incurred in enforcing any obligation of the Company under
this Agreement.
(b) The Company shall indemnify the Trustee, the
Tender Agent, any person who "controls" the Remarketing Agent, the Bank,
the Tender Agent, or the Trustee within the meaning of Section 15 of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any member, officer, director,
official, and employee of the Remarketing Agent, the Bank, the Tender
Agent, or the Trustee (collectively called the "Indemnified Parties") from and
against, any and all claims, damages, demands, expenses, liabilities, and
losses of every kind, character, and nature asserted by or on behalf of any
person arising out of, resulting from, or in any way connected with (except
for the Indemnified Party's own ct of negligence or malfeasance or
misrepresentation) (i) the Bonds or the execution of any
documents or the performance of any duties relating thereto, and
(ii) the condition, use, possession, conduct, management, planning, design,
acquisition, construction, installation, renovation, or sale of
the Project or any part thereof. The Company also covenants and
agrees, at its expense, to pay, and to indemnify and hold the Indemnified
Parties harmless of, from and against, all costs, attorneys' fees,
expenses, and liabilities incurred in any action or proceeding
brought by reason of any such claim or demand (except for the Indemnified
Party's own act of negligence, malfeasance, or misrepresentation). In the
event that any action or proceeding is brought against the Indemnified
Parties by reason of any such claim or demand, the Indemnified
Parties shall immediately notify the Company, which shall defend any action
or proceeding on behalf of the Indemnified Parties, including
the employment of counsel, the payment of all expenses and the
right to negotiate and consent to settlement. Any one or more of the
Indemnified Parties shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof,
but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such
Indemnified Parties unless the employment of such
counsel has been specifically authorized by the Company or unless
the Indemnified Parties shall reasonably determine that a conflict of interest
exists as between the Indemnified Parties and the Company, in either of
which instances the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the
Company. If such separate counsel is employed, the Company may
join in any such suit for the protection of its own interests. The Company
shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without its
consent, but if settled with the consent of the Company or if there be a final
judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, the Company agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless the Indemnified Parties.
Article VIII
Assignment
Section 8.1. Assignment by Company. The Company may
assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of
either the Issuer or the Trustee, but no assignment will,
except as provided in the following paragraph, relieve the Company
from primary liability for any obligations under this Agreement and no such
assignment will be made unless the Company causes
there to be delivered to the Trustee an opinion of Bond Counsel to
the effect that such assignment will not cause interest on the Bonds to be
includable in the gross income of the Owners thereof for federal income tax
purposes.
Notwithstanding the provisions of the preceding paragraph,
this Agreement may be assigned by the Company as provided in the
preceding paragraph, but without the Company remaining
primarily liable hereunder, if either (a) the Guaranty will continue

brought under the Indenture to take possession of or exclude the Company
from possession of the Project by reason of the occurrence of an Event of
Default.
Section 9.2. Delay Not Waiver; Remedies. A delay or
omission by the Issuer or the Trustee in exercising any right or remedy
accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or
remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default. No remedy is exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies
are cumulative.
Section 9.3. Attorneys Fees and Expenses. If the Company
should default under any provision of this Agreement and the Issuer or the
Unit should employ attorneys or incur other expenses for
