(c) The filing by the Agency of a petition or answer seeking reorganization or arrangement under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law of the United States of America, or if a court of competent jurisdiction shall approve a petition, filed with or without the consent of the Agency, seeking reorganization under the federal bankruptcy laws or any other applicable law ofthe United States of America, or if, under the provisions of any other law for the relief or aid of debtors any court of competent jurisdiction shall assume custody or control of the Agency or of the whole or any substantial part of its property. Immediately upon becoming aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default under subsections (a), (b) or (c) above, the Trustee shall give notice of such Event of Default to the Agency in connection with the Bonds by telephone, telecopier or other telecommunication device, promptly confirmed in writing. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Loan shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered, the Agency shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all installments of principal on the Loan matured prior to such declaration and all accrued interest thereon, with interest on such overdue installments of principal and interest at the net effective rate then borne by the Outstanding Bonds, and the reasonable fees and expenses of the Trustee (including but not limited to attorneys fees and expenses), and any and all other defaults known to the Trustee (other than in the payment of principal and interest on the Loan due and payable solely by reason of such declaration) shall have been made good or cured to the satisfaction of the Trustee or provision deemed by the Trustee to be adequate shall have been made therefor, then, and in every such case, the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds may, by written notice to the Trustee and the Agency, rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences. However, no such rescission and 12 annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair or exhaust any right or power consequent thereon. If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, at the written direction of the Owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds, the Trustee shall, to the extent indemnified from liability or expense, including without limitation fees and expenses of its attorneys, exercise any remedies available to the Trustee in law or at equity. Section 5.02. Application of Funds Upon Default. After the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee shall have the right to control and direct all remedies and other actions relating to default hereunder. All amounts received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken by the Trustee under the provisions of this Loan Agreement, otherwise held by the Trustee upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be applied by the Trustee in the following order: First, to the payment ofthe costs and expenses of the Trustee in declaring such Event of Default and in carrying out the provisions of this Article Y, including reasonable compensation to its agents, attorneys and counsel and Second, to the payment ofthe whole amount of interest on and principal ofthe Loan then due and unpaid, with interest on overdue installments of principal and interest to the extent permitted by law at the net effective rate of interest then borne by the Outstanding Bonds; provided, however, that in the event such amounts shall be insufficient to pay in full the full amount of such interest and principal, then such amounts shall be applied in the following order of priority: (a) to the payment of all installments of interest on the Loan then due and unpaid, (b) to the payment of principal of all installments of the Loan then due and unpaid, (c) to the payment of interest on overdue installments of principal and interest. Section 5.03. No Waiver. Nothing in this Article Y or in any other provision of this Loan Agreement, shall affect or impair the obligation of the Agency, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay from the Tax Revenues and other amounts pledged hereunder, the principal of and interest and premium (if any) on the Loan to the Trustee as herein provided, or affect or impair the right of action, which is also absolute and unconditional, ofthe Trustee to institute suit to enforce such payment by virtue of the contract embodied in this Loan Agreement. A waiver of any default by the Trustee shall not affect any subsequent default or impair any rights or remedies on the subsequent default. No delay or omission of the Trustee to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or a acquiescence therein, and every power and 13 remedy conferred upon the Trustee by the Act or by this Article V may be enforced and exercised from time to time and as often as shall be deemed expedient by the Trustee. If a suit, action or proceeding to enforce any right or exercise any remedy shall be abandoned or determined adversely to the Trustee, the Agency and the Trustee shall be restored to their former positions, rights and remedies as if such suit, action or proceeding had not been brought or taken (except in the event that an action determined adversely to the Trustee was for removal thereof).

Such payments shall be made in accordance with Section 148 ofthe Code and the Tax Regulations thereunder, but only from amounts on deposit in the Rebate Account. The Issuer shall cooperate with the Trustee in the filing of any forms required by the Code to be submitted with the rebate payments described in this Section 5 .06(b).

In case any separate trustee or co-trustee, or a successor to either, shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate trustee or co-trustee so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new trustee or successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee. 5B200 1 :32150.1 -34- Section 6.12.
