(3) The Authority may in its discretion waive any Event of Default under the Lease and its consequences and rescind any declaration of maturity of principal under Section 4-13, and shall do so upon written request of the Bond Insurer or, if the bond insurance policy is no longer in effect, the Holders of (1) fifty-one percent in aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds Outstanding in respect of which default in the payment of principal and/or interest exists, or (2) fifty-one percent in aggregate principal amount of all the Bonds then Outstanding in the case of any other Event of Default; provided, however, that there shall not be waived any Event of Default in the payment of Lease Payments, unless prior to such waiver or rescission (a) all arrears of Lease Payments with interest equal to at least the amount by which such Lease 19898760 _25_ Payments is less than total amount of unpaid debt service due on the Bonds and (b) all expenses of the Authority and Paying Agent, 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 Authority on account of any such default shall have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely then and in every such case the Authority 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 Event of Default, or impair any right consequent thereon. (4) If an Event of Default should occur under the Lease, all moneys received by the Authority pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Section 4-11 or the Lease shall, after payment of the cost and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such moneys and of the expenses, liabilities and advances incurred or made by the Authority in connection therewith and any other sums due the Authority under the Lease (other than any interest due on delinquent Lease Payments), be deposited in the Bond Fund or the Project Acquisition Fund, as appropriate.

The Paying Agent shall also be entitled to a reasonable fee for services hereunder. In this regard the Authority has made provisions in the Lease for the payment of said fees, advances, counsel fees, costs and expenses and reference is hereby made to said Lease for the provisions so made. Upon an Event of Default under the Lease, but only upon such an Event of Default and failure of Lessee to make timely payments under the Lease, the Authority shall have a lien with right of payment prior to the lien herein created for the benefit of the Bondholders on all revenues derived from the Project by the Authority including Lease Payments for said fees, advances, counsel fees, costs and expenses incurred by it. (6) The Authority shall give notice to the Bond Insurer and to the Holders of the Bonds of any Event of Default under the Lease known to the Authority or termination of the Lease under Section 4.1 of the Lease, within ninety days after such event unless such default shall have been cured before the giving of such notice; provided that such notice shall be given within ten days if the event is either (i) a failure to pay when due any Lease Payments and to cure the same before giving such notice or (ii) termination of the Lease under Section 4.1 thereof; and provided further that, except in the case of default in the payment of Lease Payments or termination of the Lease under Section 4.1 thereof, the Authority shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the governing body of the Authority or its chief executive officer in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Bondholders. 4-12. Covenant to Lease, Sell and Operate. Subject to the provisions of Section 4-15, the Authority agrees that if an Event of Default occurs under the Lease or Lessee terminates the 19898760 -26- Lease under Section 4.1 thereof, the Authority will use its best efforts while any Bonds remain Outstanding to lease or operate the Project to provide Net Revenues sufficient to pay the principal, interest and call premium, if any, on the Bonds and in the event of sale, to obtain the best price obtainable so that to the extent the Authority determines it reasonably possible all of the Bonds and the interest thereon are paid in full. This covenant, to the extent that it may obligate the Authority to re -lease or sell the Project for the benefit of the Bondholders, may be enforced against the Authority only to the extent that at such time the Authority is permitted by law to sell the property or to the extent that any consent required for releasing the property has been given. 4-13. Acceleration. Subject to the provisions in Section 4-15, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Lease or termination of the Lease on account of a Non - appropriation under Section 4.2 of the Lease, the Authority may (with the prior written consent of the Bond Insurer), and upon the written request of the Bond Insurer or, if the bond insurance policy is no longer in effect, the Holders of not less than fifty-one percent in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds shall, by notice in writing delivered to the Lessee, declare the principal of all Bonds then Outstanding and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable, and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be immediately due and payable. The Authority shall promptly give mailed notice of acceleration to the Bondholders. 4-14. Tax Exempt Status of Bonds; Designation of QTEO. The Authority shall not knowingly take, nor fact to take, any action the effect of which would be to impair the tax- exempt status of the Bonds.

Deposit of Funds with Paving Agent. The Authority shall transfer and remit sums from the Bond Fund to the Paying Agent in advance of each interest and principal due date and redemption date, from the balance then on hand in the Bond Fund, sufficient to pay all principal, interest and redemption premiums then due on Bonds. The Paying Agent shall hold in trust for the Holders of such Bonds representing such interest all sums so transferred to it until paid to such Holders or otherwise disposed of as herein provided.

Priories of Payment and Application of Moneys. All Bonds issued hereunder and secured hereby shall be equally and ratably secured by and payable from the Bond Fund, without priority of one Bond over any other, except as otherwise expressly provided herein. Accordingly, all moneys credited to the Bond Fund, shall be applied as follows: (1) Unless the principal of all the 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 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; SECOND: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal of any of the Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds called for redemption for the payment of which moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Resolution), in the order of their due dates, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full Bonds due on any particular date, then to the payment ratably, according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege; and THIRD: To the payment of interest and premium, if any, on and the principal of the Bonds, and to the redemption of Bonds, as thereafter may from time to time become due, all in accordance with the provisions of Article Five.

(3) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have been declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Resolution, then, subject to the provisions of subparagraph (2) of this section, in the event that the principal of all the Bonds shall later become due or be declared due and payable, the moneys shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (1) of this section. Subject to the provisions in Section 4-15, whenever moneys are to be applied by the Authority pursuant to the provisions of this Section and there are insufficient sums in the Bond Fund to pay principal and/or interest then due on the Bonds, the Authority shall apply such moneys at such times, and from time to time, as the Authority 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 Authority shall apply such fiends, 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 Authority shall give 19898760 -3 Q- such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with the Paying Agent 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 Bond until such Bond shall be presented to the Paying Agent for appropriate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid. 1989876v3 -31- ARTICLE SIX POSSESSION, USE AND RELEASE OF PROPERTY 64.
