designated for such Series 1999B Bonds.
Not less than 75 days prior to each Rate Change Date with respect to the Series 1999B

Company's determination of the next succeeding Rate Change Date, which Rate Change Date shall

Change Date unless (a) at least 75 days prior to such Rate Change Date and (b) on such Rate
Change Date, the Company shall cause to be delivered, at its expense, to the Trustee and the
Remarketing Agent an Opinion of Bond Counsel, to the effect that such reset in interest rate and

taxation to which the interest on the Series 1999B Bonds would otherwise be entitled. The
Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Opinion of Bond Counsel to be delivered to the
Trustee by such dates. In the event such Opinion of Bond Counsel is not delivered, the interest
rate on the Series 1999B Bonds currently in effect shall remain in effect as the Reset Rate for the

any event extend beyond the date of final maturity of the Series 1999B Bonds.

Series 1999 Bonds to the extent such Series 1999 Bonds are Tax-Exempt Bonds (or other

All Bonds shall be in fully registered form. Except as provided in Section 3.05 hereof,
the Holder of a Bond shall be regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this
Indenture.
The Bonds shall be negotiable instruments in accordance with the Act, and shall express

any officer whose signature, or a facsimile of whose signature, shall appear on any Bond shall
cease to be that officer before the issuance of the Bond, that officer's signature or the facsimile
thereof shall be valid and sufficient nevertheless for all purposes, the same as if that officer had
remained in office until that time. Any Bond may be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an
officer who is the proper officer on the date of execution, although on the date of the Bond that
individual is not the proper officer.
No Bond shall be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture, unless the certificate of authentication thereon shall have been
manually signed by the Trustee or by any Authenticating Agent on behalf of the Trustee. The
authentication by the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent upon any Bond shall be conclusive

applicable to the Series 1999 Bonds or one or more series of Additional Bonds, or not secured and
protected from sources or by property or instruments applicable to the Series 1999 Bonds or one
or more series of Additional Bonds.
Nothing in the Bonds or this Indenture shall represent or constitute a general obligation,
a debt or a pledge of the faith and credit or taxing power of the Issuer and further, nothing therein
or herein gives the Holders of any Bonds, and they do not have, the right to have levied ad
valorem taxes or other taxes by the Issuer, or by the State or any other political subdivision or
agency thereof, for the payment of Debt Service Charges on the Bonds.
SECTION 3.05. Payment and Ownership of Bonds. (a) Debt Service Charges shall

at the office, designated by the Trustee, of any Paying Agent, and (ii) interest on any Bond shall
be paid on each Interest Payment Date by check or draft which the Trustee shall cause to be
mailed on that date to the Holder in whose name the Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds)
is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date applicable to that Interest
Payment Date on the Register at the address appearing therein, provided that, at the written
request by and expense of any Holder of $100,000 or more principal amount of Bonds, such Debt
Service Charges may be paid by bank wire transfer or by direct deposit to the designated account
of the Holder. If and to the extent, however, that the Issuer shall fail to make payment or
provision for payment of interest on any Bond on any Interest Payment Date, that interest shall
cease to be payable to the Person who was the Holder of that Bond (or of one or more Predecessor
Bonds) as of the applicable Regular Record Date. Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this
Section, whenever moneys become available for payment of the interest (1) the Trustee shall,
pursuant to Section 7.07(d), establish a Special Interest Payment Date for the payment of that
interest and a Special Record Date which shall be not more than 15 nor fewer than 10 days prior
to the Special Interest Payment Date, and (2) the Trustee shall cause notice of the Special Interest
Payment Date and of the Special Record Date to be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid,
to each Holder at its address as it appears on the Register not fewer than 10 days prior to the
Special Record Date, and thereafter the interest shall be payable on such Special Interest Payment
Date to the Person who was the Holder of said Bond (or Predecessor Bonds) at the close of
30
business on the Special Record Date. If any Bond is redeemed on any date which is not an
Interest Payment Date, accrued interest thereon shall be paid when the redemption price is paid.
If any Bond is redeemed on any Interest Payment Date, the interest due shall be paid in the normal
manner specified above.
(b) Each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon transfer thereof, or in exchange for
or in replacement of any other Bond, shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue on that Bond, or which were carried by that Bond.
(c) Except as provided in this Section 3.05 and in the first paragraph of Section 3.07
hereof, (i) the Holder of any Bond shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof
for all purposes of this Indenture, (ii) payment of or on account of the Debt Service Charges on
any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of that Holder or its duly authorized attorney
in the manner permitted by this Indenture, and (iii) neither the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar
nor any Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent shall, to the extent permitted by law, be affected
by notice to the contrary. All of those payments shall be valid and effective to satisfy and
discharge the liability upon that Bond, including without limitation, the interest thereon, to the
extent of the amount or amounts so paid.
SECTION 3.06. Transfer and Exchan~e of Bonds. So long as there are any
Outstanding Bonds, the Issuer will cause books for the registration and transfer of Bonds, as
provided in this Indenture, to be maintained and kept at the designated office of the Registrar.
Unless provided otherwise in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, at the option of the
Holder, Bonds may be exchanged for Bonds of any authorized denomination or denominations in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal amount of, and
bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates as, the Bonds being
exchanged. The exchange shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds being
exchanged at the designated office of the Registrar or at the designated office of any
Authenticating Agent together with an assignment duly executed by the Holder or its duly
authorized attorney in any form which is satisfactory to the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent,
as the case may be.
Any Bond may be transferred on the Register, upon presentation and surrender thereof at
the designated oft ice of the Registrar or the designated oft ice of any Authenticating Agent together
with an assignment duly executed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney in any form which
is satisfactory to the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be. Upon transfer of
any Bond and upon the request of the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and
deliver, a new Bond or Bonds in the name of the transferee, of any authorized denomination or
denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed principal
amount of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates as, the
Bonds presented and surrendered for transfer.

acceptable to the Trustee that the transferee is an "accredited investor", as defined in Regulation D,
or any successor regulation, promulgated by the United State Securities and Exchange Commission,
in accordance with the legend on the face of the Bond. Evidence acceptable to the Trustee shall
include, but not be limited to, published lists of "institutional investors" maintained by one or more
national bond rating services; provided, however, that such term shall not include a book entry
depository, including, but not limited to, The Depository Trust Company.
In all cases in which Bonds are exchanged or transferred hereunder, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and
deliver, Bonds in accordance with the provisions hereof. Except as provided in Section 3.07
hereof, the exchange or transfer shall be made without charge; provided that the Issuer and the
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may make a charge for every exchange
or transfer of Bonds which is sufficient in amount to reimburse them for any tax or excise required
to be paid with respect to the exchange or transfer. The charge shall be paid by the Holder before
a new Bond is delivered.
All Bonds issued upon any exchange or transfer of Bonds shall be the valid obligations of
the Issuer and shall evidence the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as the Bonds surrendered upon exchange or transfer. Neither the Issuer, the Trustee,
the Registrar nor any Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to make any
exchange or transfer of a Bond (i) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of
business on the day of the mailing, or to transfer or exchange any Bonds selected for redemption,
in whole or in part, following the mailing (ii) during a period beginning on the date the Holder
of such Bond delivers to the Trustee a notice described in Section 4.10 hereof and ending on the
Optional Tender Date.
In case any Bond is redeemed in part only, on or after the redemption date and upon
presentation and surrender of the Bond, subject to the provisions of Section 4.04 hereof, the Issuer
shall cause execution of, and the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing interest at the
same rate and maturing on the same date or dates as, the Bond redeemed in part.
The designated office of the Registrar and the Authenticating Agent for purposes of this
Section shall be established by the Trustee.
SECTION 3.07. Mutilated. Lost. Wrongfully Taken or Destroyed Bonds. If any
Bond is mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken, improperly cancelled or destroyed, in the absence of
written notice to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Registrar or an Authenticating Agent that the lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall
execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate and
32
deliver, a new Bond of like date, maturity, interest rate and denomination as the Bond mutilated,
lost, wrongfully taken, improperly cancelled or destroyed; provided, that
(a) in the case of any mutilated or improperly cancelled Bond, such Bond shall be
surrendered first to the Registrar or an Authenticating Agent; and
(b) in the case of any lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond, there shall be furnished
first to the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the Registrar or an Authenticating Agent (if
different persons) evidence of the loss, wrongful taking or destruction satisfactory to the Trustee
and the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, together with indemnification
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Registrar or Authenticating Agent (if different persons)
indemnifying the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar or Authenticating Agent (if different
persons), and the Issuer.
If any mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond shall have matured or been
redeemed prior to maturity, instead of issuing a new Bond, the Authorized Company
Representative may direct the Trustee to pay that Bond, without surrender thereof, upon the
furnishing of satisfactory evidence and indemnification, as in the case of issuance of a new Bond.
The Issuer, the Trustee and the Registrar or an Authenticating Agent may charge the Holder of
a mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond their reasonable fees and expenses in
connection with their actions pursuant to this Section, except for improper cancellation by the
Registrar.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to this Section by reason of any Bond being mutilated,
lost, wrongfully taken, improperly cancelled or destroyed
(i) shall constitute a Bond, to the extent of the Outstanding principal amount
of, and having the same terms as, the Bond lost, mutilated, taken, improperly cancelled or
destroyed, regardless of whether the mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken, improperly cancelled or
destroyed Bond shall be enforceable at any time by anyone; and
(ii) shall be entitled to all of the benetits of this Indenture to the same extent as
the Bond that was mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed.
All Bonds shall be held and owned on the express condition that the foregoing provisions
of this Section are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, lost,
wrongfully taken, improperly cancelled or destroyed Bonds and, to the extent permitted by law,
shall preclude all other rights, remedies and powers with respect to the replacement or payment
of negotiable instruments or other investment securities without their surrender, notwithstanding
any law or statute to the contrary now existing or enacted hereafter.
SECTION 3.08. Safekeeping and Cancellation of Bonds. Any Bond received by the
Registrar for replacement pursuant to Section 3.07 hereof or exchanged pursuant to Section 3.06
33
hereof shall be promptly cancelled by the Registrar and evidence of such cancellation will be
delivered by the Registrar to the Issuer and the Authorized Company Representative upon request.
The Issuer, or the Company on behalf of the Issuer, may deliver at any time for
cancellation to the Registrar any Bonds authenticated and delivered previously hereunder, which
the Issuer or the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever. All Bonds so delivered
shall be cancelled promptly by the Registrar. Certitication of such surrender and cancellation shall
be made to the Issuer, the Company and the Trustee by the Registrar at least once in each calendar
year during which any Bonds were surrendered, cancelled and destroyed.
Except as provided in the first paragraph of this Section 3.08 and unless directed otherwise
by the Authorized Company Representative, cancelled Bonds shall be retained and stored by the
Registrar for a period of seven years after their cancellation. Those cancelled Bonds shall be
destroyed by the Registrar by shredding or incineration seven years after their cancellation or at
any earlier time directed by the Authorized Company Representative. The Trustee or Registrar,
as appropriate, shall furnish counterparts of a certificate of destruction relating to any Bonds
destroyed under this Section 3.08 evidencing such destruction to the Issuer and the Authorized
Company Representative.
SECTION 3.09. Temporary Bonds. Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds,
interim receipts or certificates (herein referred to as "Temporary Bonds") may initially be issued,

Payments required under the Agreement are to be remitted directly to the Trustee in the manner
described therein and in the amounts set forth in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.
46
For purposes of this section, (i) a deficiency in the Interest Payment Account or the
Principal Payment Account shall be the difference by which the respective amounts then held
therein are less than the respective amounts then scheduled to be held therein pursuant to the
applicable provisions of this Article V, and (ii) a deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Fund
shall be the difference by which the amount then held therein is less than the Debt Service Reserve
Requirement.
SECTION 5.03. Bond Fund. The Bond Fund (and the accounts therein for which
provision is made in this Indenture) and the moneys and Eligible Investments therein shall be used
solely and exclusively for the payment of Debt Service Charges as they become due at stated
maturity, by redemption or pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund requirements under Section
4.01 hereof or for the payment of the purchase or redemption price of Bonds pursuant to Section
4.07 hereof, all as provided herein; provided, that no part thereof shall be used to redeem any
Bonds prior to maturity, except as may be provided otherwise herein or in the Agreement. The
Issuer shall have no interest in the moneys or Eligible Investments in the Bond Fund.
For the purposes of transferring to any other Paying Agents moneys which are necessary
to pay the Debt Service Charges on the Bonds on or before the date when they become due and
payable, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Bond Fund moneys which are available for the
purpose of paying, and which are sufficient to pay, Debt Service Charges as and when they
become due and payable (whether at stated maturity or by redemption).
In addition to the deposits to be made in the Bond Fund as contemplated otherwise herein,
there shall be deposited into the Interest Payment Account and the Principal Payment Account,
as and when received, all moneys received by the Trustee which are to be deposited in the Interest
Payment Account or the Principal Payment Account under the Agreement, or any other instrument
or document. Amounts so deposited in the Bond Fund shall be applied by the Trustee on the next
Interest Payment Date to pay Debt Service Charges on the Bonds.
SECTION 5.04. Proiect Fund. Moneys in the Project Fund shall be disbursed in
accordance with the provisions of the Agreement. The Trustee shall cause to be kept and
maintained adequate records pertaining to the Project Fund and all disbursements therefrom. If
requested by the Issuer or the Authorized Company Representative, after the Project has been
completed and a certificate of payments of all costs is filed as provided in (a) below, the Trustee
shall file with the Issuer and the Company, at the Company's expense, copies of the records
pertaining to the Project Fund and disbursements therefrom.
(a) The completion of the Project (or any addition thereto financed with any Additional
Bonds) and payment of all costs and expenses incident thereto shall be evidenced by the filing with
the Trustee of
(i) the certificate of the Authorized Company Representative required by
Section 3.6 of the Agreement, and
47
(ii) a certificate signed by the Authorized Company Representative stating that
all obligations and costs in connection with the Project and payable out of the Project Fund have
been paid and discharged, except for amounts retained by the Trustee as provided under the
Agreement for the payment of costs of the Project not then due and payable.
As soon as practicable after the filing with the Trustee of the certiticate to which reference is made
in clause (ii) above, any balance remaining in the Project Fund (other than the amounts retained
by the Trustee as described in the preceding sentence) shall be deposited or applied in accordance
with the direction of the Authorized Company Representative pursuant to Section 3.4 of the
Agreement. Unless otherwise provided in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, this Section
shall apply to any additional property financed with the proceeds of any issue of Additional Bonds.
SECTION 5.05. Rebate Fund. Money and investments in the Rebate Fund shall not
be used for the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on the Bonds, and any provision
hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, amounts credited to the Rebate Fund shall be free and clear
of any lien hereunder. Moneys in the Rebate Fund shall be invested pursuant to the procedures
and in the manner provided in Section 5.10 hereof. The Issuer, the Trustee and the Company have
agreed to comply with the Arbitrage Rebate Agreement to which each is a party in order to
comply with the requirements of Section 148 of the Code.
Under Section 2.3(h)(G) of the Agreement, the Company is required to make the payments
described in this Section.
The Trustee shall timely furnish investment and account information to and the Company
shall engage (at the expense of the Company) a Rebate Analyst to calculate the amount of any
Rebateable Arbitrage (as defined in the Arbitrage Rebate Agreement) as of the end of that Bond
Year. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereof, the Trustee shall calculate, or shall
furnish information to and engage (at the expense of the Company) a rebate Analyst to calculate
the amount of any Rebateable Arbitrage (as detined in the Arbitrage Rebate Agreement) as of the
date determined by the Trustee pursuant to this Section or as of the date of release of this
Indenture under Article IX hereof, as applicable. After each such calculation, the Trustee
thereafter shall notify the Company in writing of the amount of such Rebateable Arbitrage and the
amount then on deposit in the Rebate Fund. If the amount then on deposit in the Rebate Fund is
in excess of the Rebateable Arbitrage, the Trustee shall forthwith pay that excess amount to the
Company, after paying the cost of such calculation; provided that no such excess amount shall be
paid to the Company if a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder.
If the amount then on deposit in the Rebate Fund is less than the Rebateable Arbitrage, the
Company shall, within seven days after receipt of the aforesaid notice from the Trustee, pay to
the Trustee for deposit in the Rebate Fund an amount sufticient to cause the Rebate Fund to
contain an amount equal to the Rebateable Arbitrage and the cost of such calculation.
Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any calculation or instruction furnished to
the Trustee by the Company in accordance with this Section 5.05.
48
SECTION 5.06. Debt Service Reserve Fund. In the event that moneys in the Interest
Payment Account or moneys in the Principal Payment Account are insufficient on any date on
which Debt Service Charges on the Outstanding Bonds secured by the Debt Service Reserve Fund
are due (whether at stated maturity, by mandatory redemption or upon acceleration) to pay such
interest or principal and any premium, respectively, the Trustee shall withdraw from the Debt
Service Reserve Fund the moneys necessary to make up the deficiency and shall transfer those
moneys to the Interest Payment Account or the Principal Payment Account as the case may be.
[Not less than ten (10) days prior to any withdrawal of moneys from the Debt Service Reserve
Fund which would cause the amount in the Debt Service Reserve Fund to be less than amount
required to fund the minimum liquid reserve under Section 651.035(1), Florida Statutes, as
amended, notice of the withdrawal from the Debt Service Reserve Fund shall be given by the
Trustee by telephone (904-487-3828) (promptly confirmed in writing) or facsimile (904-487-0313)
to the Florida Department of Insurance, Bureau of Specialty Insurers, Room 637, Larson
Building, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee, Florida 32399-0300 (the "Department of
Insurance"), provided that such notice by telephone, by facsimile or in writing may be given to
the Department of Insurance at other telephone numbers or other addresses if required by the
Department to be used in lieu of the foregoing.]
When the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is at least equal to the
principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds secured by the Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Trustee
shall transfer from the Debt Service Reserve Fund to the Principal Payment Account an amount
equal to the principal of the Bonds secured by the Debt Service Reserve Fund due and payable on
the next succeeding Principal Payment Date. Those moneys shall be used to pay the principal of
Bonds due on such date. The reduction in the Debt Service Reserve Requirement resulting from
that transfer need not be restored.
When the amount on deposit in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is in excess of the Debt
Service Reserve Requirement the Trustee shall transfer the excess to the Interest Payment Account
of the Bond Fund to be used by the Trustee to pay Debt Service Charges.
SECTION 5.07. Moneys to be Held in Trust. All moneys required or permitted to
be deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent under any provision of any Issuer
Document including without limitation, any investments thereof and income thereon, shall be held
by the Trustee or that Paying Agent in trust. Except for (i) moneys deposited with or paid to the
Trustee or any Paying Agent for the redemption of Bonds, with respect to which notice has been
duly given; and (ii) moneys held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.08 hereof; all moneys
described in the preceding sentence held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent shall be subject
hereto while so held.
SECTION 5.08. Nonpresentment of Bonds. In the event that any Bond is not
presented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due in whole or in part, either at stated
maturity or by redemption, or in the event that a check or draft for interest is uncashed, if moneys
sufficient to pay that principal or the check or draft shall have been made available to the Trustee
49
for the benefit of the respective Holder, thereupon, (i) all liability of the Issuer to that Holder for
payment of that principal, premium or of the interest represented by the check or draft shall cease
and be discharged completely; and (ii) it shall be the duty of the Trustee to hold those moneys,
without liability for interest thereon, in a separate account of the Bond Fund for the exclusive
benefit of that Holder, who shall be restricted thereafter exclusively to those moneys for any claim
of whatever nature on its part hereunder or on, or with respect to, that principal, premium or
interest or of such check or draft.
Any of those moneys which shall be so held by the Trustee, and which remain unclaimed
by the Holder of a Bond not presented for payment or check or draft not cashed for a period of
four years after the due date thereof, shall be paid to the Company free of any trust or lien, upon
a request in writing by the Company Representative and after the Company provides the Trustee
with indemnification, satisfactory to the Trustee, with respect to any claims to such moneys.
Thereafter, the Holder of that Bond shall look only to the Company for payment and then only
to the amounts so received by the Company without any interest thereon, and the Trustee shall not
have any responsibility with respect to those moneys.
SECTION 5.09. Application of the Balances of the Special Funds. Except as
provided in Sections 5.08 and 5.12 hereof, after all of the Outstanding Bonds have been deemed
to have been paid and discharged under the provisions of this Indenture, and the fees, charges and
expenses of the Trustee, any Paying Agent, the Registrar and any Tender Agent and all other
amounts required to be paid hereunder and under the Agreement have been paid, any amounts
remaining in the Special Funds shall be free of this Indenture and shall be paid, used and applied
pursuant to the Agreement.
SECTION 5.10. Investments of Special Funds and the Rebate Fund. Moneys held
for the credit of all Special Funds and the Rebate Fund in the custody of the Trustee shall be
continuously invested and reinvested to the extent practicable by the Trustee in Eligible
Investments at the oral direction, confirmed in writing, or written direction of the Authorized
Company Representative. Any investments of moneys held to the credit of the Special Funds and
the Rebate Fund shall mature not later than the respective dates when the money held for the credit
thereof or accounts therein will be required for the purposes intended; provided, that no Eligible
Investments in any fund or account (other than the Rebate Fund) may mature beyond the latest
maturity date of any Bonds Outstanding at the time such investments are deposited.
No less than 50% of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be invested in (a) Eligible
Investments (i) rated by a Rating Service in one of the two highest rating categories and (ii) having
maturities of one year or less, or (b) a mutual fund invested primarily in securities of that type.
The balance of the Debt Service Reserve Requirement shall be invested in Eligible Investments
with an average maturity not exceeding five years.
The Authorized Company Representative may at any time give to the Trustee written
directions effective for a specified period respecting the investment of any money or certain
50
moneys in the Special Funds and the Rebate Fund required to be invested hereunder, subject,
however, to the provisions of this Section, and the Trustee shall invest such money under this
Section as so directed by the Authorized Company Representative. The Trustee may request, in
writing, direction or authorization of the Authorized Company Representative with respect to the
proposed investment of money under the provisions of this Indenture. Upon receipt of such
request, accompanied by a memorandum setting forth the details of any proposed investment, the
Authorized Company Representative will either approve such proposed investment or will give
written directions to the Trustee respecting the investment of such money and, in the case of such
directions, the Trustee shall then, subject to the provisions of this Section, invest such money in
accordance with such directions.
Eligible Investments credited to any Special Fund or the Rebate Fund in the custody of the
Trustee established under this Indenture shall be held by or under the control of the Trustee and
while so held shall be deemed at all times to be part of such fund or account in which such money
was originally held.
Any profit or loss realized or interest earned from the investment of any Special Funds
during the construction period shall be credited to the Project Fund and any profit or loss realized
or interest earned from the investment of any Special Funds after the termination of the
construction period shall be credited to the Interest Payment Account of the Bond Fund. Any
profit realized or interest earned from the investment of the Rebate Fund shall remain in the
Rebate Fund to the extent of any deficiency in the amount required to be in the Rebate Fund; if
adequate funds exist in the Rebate Fund, any such profit realized or interest earned, shall be
deposited in the Bond Fund to be used to pay Debt Service Charges on the Bonds.
The Trustee shall sell at the best price obtainable or present for redemption any obligations
so purchased whenever it shall be necessary to do so in order to provide money to make any
payment or transfer of money from any such fund or account. The Trustee shall not be liable or
responsible for any loss resulting from any such investment made at the direction of the
Authorized Company Representative. The Trustee may make any investments permitted under
this Indenture through its own bond department or the bond department of any bank or trust
company which is an affiliate of the Trustee.
The Trustee in its discretion may make any investments permitted under this Indenture
through the Trustee in its capacity as a bank or through any bank or trust company which is an
affiliate of the Trustee.
SECTION 5.11. Valuation. For the purpose of determining the amount on deposit
to the credit of any fund or account, the value of Eligible Investments in which money in such
fund or account shall have been invested shall be computed at the market value or amortized cost,
whichever is lower. In calculating the value of any Eligible Investment, the amount of accrued
interest on that Eligible Investment shall be included. The Trustee shall value the Eligible
Investments in the Debt Service Reserve Fund at least quarterly and at any time upon the request
51
of the Authorized Company Representative or the Florida Department of Insurance on reasonable
notice to the Trustee (which period of notice may be waived by the Trustee). A copy of each such
valuation shall be provided by the Trustee to the Company and the Florida Department of
Insurance at the address set forth in Section 5.06 hereof. If as a result of any valuation, it is
determined that the balance in the Debt Service Reserve Fund is less than 90% of the Debt Service
Reserve Requirement, the Trustee shall compute the amount by which the Debt Service Reserve
Requirement exceeds such balance and shall immediately give the Company notice of such
deficiency and the amount, if any, necessary to cure the same in accordance with the provisions
of Section 5.02(b)(ii) hereof.
SECTION 5.12. Repayment to the Company. Any amounts remaining in the Special
Funds after (i) all of the Outstanding Bonds shall be deemed to have been paid and discharged
under the provisions of this Indenture, and (ii) after payment of all fees, charges and expenses of
the Trustee, the Registrar and any Tender Agent, Paying Agents, Remarketing Agent or
Authenticating Agents and of all Rebate Amounts and other amount required to be paid under this
Indenture, the Agreement, the Mortgage and the Notes or any other instrument or document
entered into in connection with any of the foregoing or otherwise to provide for the payment of
Debt Service Charges, shall be paid to the Company to the extent that those moneys are in excess
of the amounts necessary to effect the payment and discharge of the Outstanding Bonds.

Project unless it shall have been provided with satisfactory indemnification from the Company,
the Issuer or the Holders for the reimbursement of all expenses which it may incur and to protect
it against all risk and liability related to or arising from the possession of the Mortgaged Property.
The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the observance or performance of any
covenants, agreements or obligations on the part of any operator of the Mortgaged Property under

but the Trustee may require of such operator full information and advice as to the observance or

(c) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the application by the Company or any
other Person of the proceeds of any Bonds authenticated or delivered hereunder.
55
(d) The Trustee shall be protected, in the absence of bad faith on its part, in acting
upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, at1idavit, letter, telegram or other instrument
or document believed reasonably by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent
by the proper Person. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the
request, authority or consent of any Person, who is the Holder of any Bonds at the time of making
the request or giving the authority or consent, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future
Holders of the same Bond and of Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.
(e) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact for which the Issuer or the Company
may be responsible or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, document or proceeding,
in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a
certiticate, executed for and in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by an authorized oftlcial or
officer thereof or for and in the name and on behalf of the Company by the Authorized Company
Representative, as suftlcient evidence of the facts recited therein.
Prior to the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default of which the Trustee has been
notified, as provided in this Section, or of which by this Section the Trustee is deemed to have
notice, the Trustee may accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular transaction or
action is necessary or desirable; provided that, in its discretion, the Trustee may require and obtain
any further evidence which it deems to be necessary or advisable; and provided further that the
Trustee shall not be bound to secure any further evidence.
(f) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice, and shall not be deemed to have

and (b), unless the Trustee shall be notified specitically of the Default or Event of Default in a
written instrument or document delivered to it by the Company or by the Holders of at least ten
percent of the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds. In the absence of delivery
of a notice satisfying those requirements, the Trustee may assume conclusively that there is no
Default or Event of Default, except as noted above.
(g) At any reasonable time, the Trustee and its duly authorized attorneys, agents,
experts, engineers, accountants, receivers and employees may:
(i) inspect the Mortgaged Property provided that such inspection shall be
conducted in such a manner as not to interfere with the services provided by the Company to the
residents of the Mortgaged Property;
(ii) inspect and copy fully all books, papers and records of the Issuer pertaining
to the Mortgaged Property and the Bonds; and

demand any showings, certificates, reports, opinions, appraisals and other information, and any
corporate action and evidence thereof, in addition to that required by the terms hereof, as a
condition to the authentication of any Bonds or the taking of any action whatsoever within the
purview of this Indenture, if the Trustee deems it to be desirable for the purpose of establishing
the right of the Issuer to the authentication of any Bonds or the right of any Person to the taking
of any other action by the Trustee; provided, that the Trustee shall not be required to make that
demand.
(j) Before taking action under Section 6.16 or Article VII hereof (with the exception
of any action required to be taken under Section 7.02 hereof), the Trustee may require that a
satisfactory indemnity bond be furnished to it for the reimbursement of all expenses which it may
incur and to protect it against all risk and liability by reason of any action so taken, except for any
risk or liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from its gross negligence or willful default.
The Trustee may take action without that indemnification, and in that case, the Company shall be
required to reimburse the Trustee for all of the Trustee's expenses pursuant to Section 6.03 hereof.
(k) Unless provided otherwise herein, all moneys received by the Trustee under this
Indenture shall be held in trust for the purposes for which those moneys were received, until those

segregated from other moneys, except to the extent required by this Indenture or by law.
(1) Any opinions, certificates, reports and other instruments and documents for which
provision is made in this Indenture, may be accepted by the Trustee, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, as conclusive evidence of the facts and conclusions stated therein and shall be full
warrant, protection and authority to the Trustee for its actions taken hereunder.
(m) The permissive right of the Trustee to take actions described specifically herein
shall not be construed as a duty.

approval or satisfaction shall not be withheld unreasonably and shall be given or withheld as the
case may be, within 30 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the request for the approval or
satisfaction.
(0) The Trustee shall not assign, transfer or set over its rights under the Indenture so
long as the Bonds are outstanding other than to a successor Trustee appointed pursuant to Section
6.05 hereof.

Paying Agents. Remarketing Agent and Authenticating Agents. The Trustee, the Registrar and
any Tender Agents, Paying Agents, Remarketing Agent or Authenticating Agents are entitled to
payment or reimbursement by the Company, as provided in the Agreement, for reasonable fees
for services rendered hereunder and for all advances, counsel fees and other expenses reasonably
and necessarily paid or incurred in connection with the provision of such services.
In the event that it should become necessary for the Trustee, the Registrar or any Tender
Agents, Paying Agent, Remarketing Agent or Authenticating Agent to perform extraordinary
services, that party is entitled, upon prior written notitication to the Company, to reasonable extra
compensation therefor and to reimbursement for reasonable and necessary extraordinary expenses
incurred in connection therewith; provided that such party is not entitled to compensation or
reimbursement for extraordinary services or extraordinary expenses occasioned by its neglect or
willful misconduct or the neglect or willful misconduct of its agents, officers or employees.
Without creating a Default or an Event of Default hereunder, however, the Company may
contest in good faith the necessity for any extraordinary service and extraordinary expense and the
reasonableness of any fee, charge or expense.
The fees, charges and expenses described above shall be paid and reimbursed only from
(i) Additional Payments made by the Company, as contemplated in the Agreement; or (ii) from
other moneys available therefor. Any amounts payable to the Trustee, the Registrar or any Tender
Agent, Paying Agent, Remarketing Agent or Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section,
together with interest thereon at the Interest Rate for Advances from the date of receipt by the
Company of a demand therefor, shall be payable upon demand.
The initial or acceptance fees of the Trustee, and the fees, charges and expenses of the

Agent to which reference is made above, may be paid by the Trustee as provided in Section 5.02.
SECTION 6.04. Intervention by Trustee. The Trustee may intervene on behalf of the
Holders, and shall intervene if requested to do so in writing by the Holders of at least 25 percent
of the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, in any judicial proceeding to which the
Issuer or the Company 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 Bonds. The rights, remedies, powers and
duties of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of that intervention by a court
of competent jurisdiction. The Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond be provided
to it in accordance with this Article before it takes action hereunder.
SECTION 6.05.
Successor Trustee. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
(a) any corporation or association (i) into which the Trustee may be converted or
merged, (ii) with which the Trustee may be consolidated, or (iii) to which it may sell or transfer
58
all or substantially all of its assets or corporate trust business, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer, ipso facto, shall be
the successor Trustee hereunder and shall be vested with all of the title to the whole property or
trust estate hereunder; and
(b) that corporation or association shall be vested further, as was its predecessor, with
each and every trust, right, remedy, power, duty, discretion, privilege, claim, demand, cause of
action, immunity, estate, title and interest expressed or intended under this Indenture to be
exercised by, vested in or conveyed to the Trustee, without the execution or filing of any
instrument or document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, the Trustee or
that corporation or association.
Any successor Trustee, however, (i) shall be a trust company or a bank having the powers
of a trust company, (ii) shall be in good standing in the State, (iii) shall be duly authorized to
exercise corporate trust powers in the State, and (iv) shall have an aggregate unimpaired reported
capital, surplus and retained earnings of not less than $75,000,000.

there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including without limitation, the State)
denying or restricting the right of banks or trust companies to transact business as trustees in that
jurisdiction. It is recognized that,
(a) if there is litigation under this Indenture or other instruments or documents relating
to the Bonds or the Project, and in particular, in the case of the enforcement hereof or thereof
upon a Default or an Event of Default, or
(b) if the Trustee should deem that, by reason of any present or future law,
the Trustee may not (i) exercise any of its trusts, rights, remedies or powers hereunder, (ii) hold
title to the properties, in trust, granted herein or hold the property assigned herein, or (iii) take
any action which may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, it may be necessary that
the Trustee appoint an individual or additional institution as a co-Trustee. The Trustee shall
appoint a co-Trustee upon consent of the Company and the Issuer, except such consent shall not
be required when appointment of a co-Trustee is necessary for taking remedial action for the
benefit of Holders. The following provisions of this Section are adapted to these ends.
In the event that the Trustee appoints an individual or additional institution as a co-Trustee,
each and every trust, right, remedy, power, duty, discretion, privilege, claim, demand, cause of
action, immunity, estate, title and interest expressed or intended under this Indenture to be
exercised by, vested in or conveyed to the Trustee shall be exercisable by, vested in and conveyed
to that co-Trustee, but only to the extent necessary for it to be so vested and conveyed to enable
that co-Trustee to exercise it. Every covenant, agreement and obligation necessary to the exercise
thereof by that co-Trustee shall run to and be enforceable by it.
59
Should any instrument or document from the Issuer be reasonably required by the
co- Trustee for vesting and conveying more fully and certainly in and to that co-Trustee those
trusts, rights, remedies, powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands, causes of action,
immunities, estates, titles and interests, that instrument or document shall be executed,
acknowledged and delivered, but not prepared, by the Issuer. In case any co-Trustee or a
successor to it shall become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of the trusts, rights,
remedies, powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands, causes of action, immunities,
estates, titles and interests of the co-Trustee shall be exercised by, vested in and conveyed to the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, until the appointment of a successor to the co-Trustee.
SECTION 6.07. Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time as
Trustee hereunder by giving written notice of its resignation to the Issuer, the Company, the
Registrar, any Paying Agents and Authenticating Agents, and by mailing notice of the resignation
to the Holders at the close of business 15 days prior to the mailing, as their names and addresses
appear on the Register on that fifteenth day prior to mailing. The resignation shall take effect
upon the appointment of a successor Trustee.
SECTION 6.08. Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may be removed at any time
by an instrument or document or concurrent instruments or documents delivered to the Trustee
and signed either by (i) the Issuer or (ii) on behalf of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds. Copies of any instrument or document shall
be mailed to the Issuer, the Company, the Registrar, any Paying Agents, Authenticating Agents
and Remarketing Agent.
The Trustee shall be removed if the Company sends a communication to the Holders of
the Outstanding Bonds (a) proposing that the Trustee be removed, (b) stating the reasons for
requesting such removal, and (c) specifying that the Trustee shall be removed by the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds in an instrument or instruments
signed by such Holders within 30 days that they desire the removal of the Trustee. The Trustee,
at the Company's expense, shall provide the Company with the names and addresses of all Holders
of Outstanding Bonds within ten days of receiving a request for that information from the
Company for purposes of enabling the Company to send that communication, unless, in the
opinion of counsel to the Trustee, to do so would be prohibited by law.
In addition, the Trustee may be removed at any time for any breach of trust or for acting
or proceeding in violation of, or for failing to act or proceed in accordance with, any of its duties,
including without limitation, any of its covenants, agreements and obligations, hereunder. The
removal may be made by any court of competent jurisdiction upon the application of the Issuer,
the Company (if not then in Default) or the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Bonds.
For purposes of this Section, whenever actions are to be taken, or consents are to be given,
by or at the direction of the Holders of Outstanding Bonds, Bonds registered in the name of the
60
Company shall not be taken into account in determining whether the requisite number of Holders
has authorized the action or consent.
SECTION 6.09. Appointment of Successor Trustee. If (i) the Trustee shall resign,
shall be removed, shall be dissolved, or shall become incapable otherwise of acting hereunder;
(ii) the Trustee shall be taken under the control of any public officer or officers; or (iii) a receiver
shall be appointed for the Trustee by a court; then a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the
Issuer, with the written consent of the Authorized Company Representative; provided, that if a
successor Trustee is not so appointed within twenty days after (a) a notice of resignation or an
instrument or document of removal is received by the Issuer, as provided in Sections 6.07 and
6.08 hereof, respectively; or (b) the Trustee is dissolved, becomes incapable otherwise of acting,
or is taken under control, or a receiver is appointed, in each case, as provided above; then the
Issuer may designate a successor Trustee or if the Issuer fails to designate a successor Trustee, the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds, with the written
consent of the Authorized Company Representative, may designate a successor Trustee by an
instrument or document or concurrent instruments or documents in writing executed by or on
behalf of those Holders. If, within 60 days after the events described in (a) and (b) above, no
appointment of a successor Trustee shall have been made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of
this Section, the Holder of any Outstanding Bond, any retiring Trustee or the Company may apply
to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee. After notice,
if any, which the court may deem to be proper and may prescribe, the court may appoint a
successor Trustee.
For purposes of this Section, whenever actions are to be taken, or consents are to be given,
by or at the direction of the Holders of Outstanding Bonds, Bonds registered in the name of the
Company shall not be taken into account in determining whether the requisite number of Holders
has authorized the action or consent.
Every successor Trustee appointed pursuant to this Section shall (i) be a trust company or
a bank having the powers of a trust company, (ii) be in good standing in the State, (iii) be duly
authorized to exercise trust powers in the State, (iv) have an aggregate unimpaired reported

with all of the trusts, rights, remedies, powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands,
causes of action, immunities, estates, titles and interests of its predecessor. Upon the written
request of its successor, the Issuer or the Company, the predecessor Trustee (i) shall execute and
deliver an instrument or document transferring to its successor all of the trusts, rights, remedies,
powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands, causes of action, immunities, estates,
titles and interests of the predecessor Trustee hereunder; and (ii) shall take any other action
61
necessary or advisable to duly assign, transfer and deliver to its successor all property and records
(including without limitation, all moneys) held by it as Trustee.
Should any instrument or document from the Issuer be reasonably requested by any
successor Trustee for vesting and conveying more fully and certainly in and to that successor the
trusts, rights, remedies, powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands, causes of action,
immunities, estates, titles and interests vested or conveyed or intended to be vested or conveyed
hereunder in or to the predecessor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute, acknowledge and deliver that
instrument or document.
In the event of a change in the Trustee, the predecessor Trustee shall cease to be the
custodian of any moneys, including without limitation, any investments, which it may hold
pursuant to this Indenture and shall cease to be the Registrar, the Tender Agent and Authenticating
Agent and a Paying Agent for any of the Bonds, to the extent that it may have served in any of
those capacities and shall have no further responsibility or liability therefore. The successor
Trustee shall become that custodian and, if applicable, the Registrar, an Authenticating Agent and
a Paying Agent to the same extent as the predecessor Trustee shall have served in those capacities.

been authenticated, but shall not have been delivered, any successor Trustee, Registrar or
Authenticating Agent may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee,
Registrar or Authenticating Agent and may deliver those Bonds so authenticated as provided
herein. In case any Bonds shall not have been authenticated, any successor Trustee, Registrar or
Authenticating Agent may authenticate those Bonds either in the name of any predecessor or in
its own name. In all cases, the certificate of authentication shall have the same force and effect
as is provided in the Bonds or in this Indenture with respect to the certificate of authentication of
the predecessor Trustee, the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent.
SECTION 6.11. Registrars. (a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any
corporation or association (i) into which a Registrar may be converted or merged, (ii) with which
a Registrar may be consolidated, or (iii) to which it may sell or transfer all or substantially all of
its assets, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, merger,
consolidation, sale or transfer, ipso facto, shall be the successor of that Registrar hereunder, if that
corporation or association is eligible otherwise hereunder, and shall be vested with each and every
right, power, duty, discretion and privilege expressed or intended to be exercised by or vested
hereunder in the predecessor Registrar, without the execution or filing of any instrument or
document or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, the Registrar or that

shall take effect immediately, however, upon the appointment of a successor Registrar, if the
successor Registrar is appointed and accepts that appointment before the date stated in the notice.
(c) The Registrar may be removed at any time by an instrument or document or
concurrent instruments or documents delivered to the Registrar and signed by or on behalf of the

remain undismissed and unstayed for 90 days; then a successor Registrar shall be appointed by the
Issuer, with the written consent of the Authorized Company Representative and the Trustee;
provided that if a successor Registrar is not so appointed within ten days after (a) a notice of
resignation or an instrument or document of removal is received by the Issuer, as provided above;
or (b) the Registrar is dissolved, becomes incapable otherwise of acting, or is taken under control,
or a receiver is appointed, in each case, as provided above; the Issuer, with the consent of the
Trustee or the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Bonds may

deliver to its predecessor, the Issuer, the Trustee and the Company, an instrument or document
accepting the appointment. Thereupon, without any further act, the successor shall become vested
with all of the rights, powers, duties, discretions, privileges, claims, demands, causes of action,
immunities, titles and interests of its predecessor. Upon the written request of its successor, the
Issuer or the Authorized Company Representative, a predecessor Registrar (i) shall execute and

to be due and payable immediately; provided that, in addition to any indemnity bond required
under Section 6.020), the Trustee shall have been provided with satisfactory indemnity for the
reimbursement of all expenses which it may incur and to protect it against all risk and liability

SECTION 7.04. Matters Regarding Rights. Remedies and Powers. Regardless of

agreement or obligation under this Indenture, the Agreement, the Mortgage or any of the Notes
or any other instrument providing security directly or indirectly, for the Bonds or any series

provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Indenture to the
contrary, the Trustee is authorized to use any amounts held in the funds and accounts under the
Indenture to pay the cost, liabilities, fees and advances incurred by the Trustee (including legal
counsel fees and expenses) to finance remedial action under the Indenture upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default.
No right, remedy or power conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders under
this Indenture is intended to be exclusive of any other available right, remedy or power, but each
right, remedy or power shall be cumulative and concurrent and shall be in addition to every other
right, remedy or power available under the Agreement or the Mortgage or hereunder or existing
at law, in equity or by statute or otherwise now or hereafter.
No exercise, beginning of the exercise, or partial exercise by the Trustee or the Holders
of anyone or more rights, remedies or powers shall preclude the simultaneous or later exercise
by the Trustee or the Holders of any other right, remedy or power. No delay or omission in the
exercise of any right, remedy or power accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair that or
any other right, remedy or power or shall be construed to constitute a waiver of any Event of
Default, but every right, remedy or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as
may be deemed to be necessary or desirable.

it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than as may be required expressly herein. In

which would best serve the interests of the Holders, in the judgment of the Trustee, applying the
standards described in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof.

claiming through or under either of them, shall set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any
appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws in force from time to time, to prevent
or hinder the enforcement of this Indenture, and the Issuer, for itself and all who may claim
through or under it, waives hereby, to the extent that it may do so lawfully, the benefit of all of
those laws and all rights of appraisement and redemption to which it may be entitled, and all rights
of marshaling.

to the contrary in this Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Bonds have the right to direct at any time, pursuant to Article XI or by an instrument
or document or instruments or documents in writing executed and delivered to the Trustee, the
method and place of conducting all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement
of this Indenture or any other proceedings hereunder; provided, that
(a) no direction shall be other than in accordance with law and this Indenture;
70
(b) the Trustee shall be indemnified as provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02; and
(c) the Trustee may take any other action which it deems to be proper and which is not
inconsistent with the direction.

thereof ratably, according to the amounts due on that installment, without any discrimination or
privilege, except as to any difference in the respective rates of interest on the Bonds; and
Second -- To the payment of the unpaid principal of any Bonds which shall have
become due (other than the Bonds called previously for redemption, for the payment of which
moneys are held hereunder), whether at maturity or by redemption, including without limitation,
redemption pursuant to the mandatory redemption requirements, in the order of their due dates,
beginning with the earliest due date, with interest on those Bonds from the respective dates upon
which they shall have become due, and if the amount available is not sufficient to pay in full all

Fund for the payment of Debt Service Charges;
(2) to the payment of current Operating Expenses requisitioned by the
Company and disbursed by the Trustee monthly in accordance with the annual
budget for the Mortgaged Property, which budget may be modified from time to
time if such modification is approved by the Board of Directors of the Company
and such approval, along with the modified budget is submitted to the Trustee;
provided that during the continuation of an Event of Default the annual budget for
the Mortgaged Property shall not be increased by any such modification unless
such modification is recommended by the Consultant;
(3) to remedy any deficiency in the Debt Service Reserve Fund;
(4) to remedy any deficiency or make current payments into the Renewal and

then subject to the provisions of subparagraph (b) of this Section, in the event that the principal
of all of the Bonds shall later become due or shall be declared to be due and payable, the moneys
shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of subparagraph (a) above.
(d) Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this Section, those
moneys shall be applied at those times, and from time to time, which the Trustee shall determine,
having due regard to the amount of moneys available for application and the likelihood of
additional moneys becoming available for application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall

or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as Trustee without the
necessity of joining any Holders as plaintiffs or defendants. Any recovery of judgment shall be
for the benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Bonds, subject to the provisions hereof.
SECTION 7.09. Rights. Remedies and Powers of Holders. No Holder shall have any
right, remedy or power to institute any suit, action or proceeding for the enforcement of this
Indenture, for the execution of any trust hereof, or for the exercise of any other right, remedy or
power hereunder, unless
73

been notified, as provided in Section 6.02(f) hereof, or of which it is deemed to have notice under
that subparagraph;
(b) the Holders of at least 25 percent in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Bonds shall have made written request to the Trustee and shall have afforded the Trustee a
reasonable opportunity to proceed to exercise the rights, remedies and powers or to institute the
suit, action or proceeding in its own name, and shall have offered indemnification to the Trustee
as provided in Sections 6.01 , 6.02 and 7.03 hereof; and
(c) the Trustee shall have failed or refused thereafter to exercise the rights, remedies

described above.
No one or more Holders of the Bonds shall have any right, remedy or power to affect,
disturb or prejudice this Indenture in any manner whatsoever by its or their action, or to enforce

owned by that Holder at and after the maturity thereof, at the place, from the sources, and in the
manner expressed in that Bond.
SECTION 7.10. Termination of Proceedings. If the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any right, remedy or power under this Indenture in any suit, action or proceeding, and
the suit, action or proceeding shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall
have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, remedies and powers hereunder,
respectively, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as
if no suit, action or proceeding had been taken.
SECTION 7.11. Waivers. Except as provided below, at any time, in its discretion,
the Trustee may waive any Event of Default hereunder and its consequences and may rescind and
annul any declaration of acceleration of the Bonds. The Trustee shall do so upon the written
request of the Holders of
(a) at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds in respect
of which an Event of Default exists in the payment of Debt Service Charges; or
74
(b) at least 25 % in aggregate principal amount of all Outstanding Bonds, in the case
of any other Event of Default.
There shall not be so waived, however, any Event of Default described in Section 7.01(a)
or (b) hereof, and no declaration of acceleration in connection therewith may be rescinded or
annulled, unless at the time of the waiver, rescission or annulment, payments have been duly
made, or provision has been duly made for the payment, of the amounts provided in Section 7.03
hereof for waiver, rescission and annulment in connection with a declaration of acceleration.
In the event of the waiver, rescission or annulment, the Issuer, the Company, the Trustee
and the Holders shall be restored to their former positions and rights, remedies and powers
hereunder, respectively. No waiver, rescission or annulment shall extend to any subsequent or
other Event of Default or impair any right, remedy or power consequent thereon.
In the event that any covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder or under the Agreement,
the Mortgage or the Bonds shall be breached by either the Company or the Issuer, and the breach
shall have been waived thereafter, the waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived
and shall not be deemed to waive any other or any subsequent breach thereunder. No waiver shall
be deemed to apply to any existing or subsequent right, remedy or power with respect to the
breach, except to the extent provided expressly in the waiver.
No failure by the Trustee or the Holders to insist upon the strict observance or performance
by the Company or the Issuer of any covenant, agreement or obligation hereunder or under any
Company Document, any Issuer Document or the Bonds, and no failure to exercise any right,
remedy or power consequent upon a breach thereof, shall constitute a waiver of any right, remedy
or power to enforce strict observance or performance or a waiver of such breach.

surviving by reason of Section 9.03 hereof in the event that the Bonds are deemed to be paid and
discharged pursuant to Section 9.02 hereof), and the covenants, agreements and obligations of the
Issuer and the Company hereunder shall be released, discharged and satisfied; provided that in
addition to any other requirements set forth herein, within 15 days after that payment or discharge,
the Trustee shall cause a notice to be mailed to each Holder at the close of business on the date
on which the payment and discharge shall have occurred at its address as it appears on the Register
on that date of payment and discharge, which notice shall set forth
(i) the date or dates, if any, designated for the redemption of the Bonds and, if

SECTION 9.02. Payment and Discharge of Bonds. All or any part of the Bonds shall
be deemed to have been paid and discharged within the meaning of this Indenture, including
without limitation, Section 9.01 hereof, if
(a) the Trustee and any Paying Agents shall have received, in trust for and committed
irrevocably thereto, sufficient moneys; or
(b) the Trustee shall have received, in trust for and committed irrevocably thereto,
noncallable Defeasance Obligations which are certified by an independent certified public
accountant or firm of such accountants, acceptable to the Trustee, to be of those maturities or
redemption dates, to have payment dates, and to bear interest at those rates, in each case which
will be sufficient, together with any moneys to which reference is made in subparagraph (a)
above, without further investment or reinvestment of either the principal amount thereof or the
interest earnings therefrom (which earnings are to be held likewise in trust and so committed,
except as provided herein);
for the payment of (i) moneys into the Rebate Fund sufficient to make rebate payments to the
United States of America required by the Code, (ii) all Debt Service Charges on those Bonds, at

described above. To the extent that any income or interest earned by, or increment to, the
investments held under this Section is determined from time to time by the Trustee to be in excess
of the amount required to be held by the Trustee for the purposes of this Section, that income,
interest or increment shall be transferred at the time of that determination in the manner provided
herein for transfers of amounts remaining in the Special Funds.
If any Bonds are deemed to be paid and discharged pursuant to this Section, within 15 days
after those Bonds are so deemed to be paid and discharged, the Trustee shall cause a written notice
to be given to each Holder at the close of business on the date on which the Bonds are deemed to
83
be paid and discharged at its address as it appears on the Register on that date on which the Bonds
are deemed to be paid and discharged. The notice shall
(i) state the numbers of the Bonds deemed to be paid and discharged, or shall
state that all Bonds of a particular series are deemed to be paid and discharged;
(ii) set forth a description of the obligations held as described above; and
(iii) if any Bonds will be so called for redemption, specify the date or dates on

If the Issuer and the Company have reserved the right at the time of release of this
Indenture to designate one or more redemption date or dates or to replace any designated

Change Date, the Company shall cause to be delivered, at its expense, to the Trustee and the

as of July 1, 1999 between the Issuer and SunTrust Bank, Central Florida, National Association,

Purchaser to finance the acquisition and renovation of existing adult assisted living and skilled
nursing home facilities (the "Project") owned by BEF, Inc. (the "Company"). Terms defined in the
Indenture are used in this letter with the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
The undersigned hereby represents, warrants and agrees to and with the Issuer that:
1. The Purchaser is an accredited investor as such term is defined in the Securities Act of 1933
and Regulation D issued pursuant thereto, a principal part of whose business consists of
buying securities such as the Bonds and which is a bank, savings institution, trust company,
insurance company, investment company as defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, pension or profit-sharing trust or other financial institution or institutional buyer or

2. The Purchaser has received copies of the Indenture, the Loan and Security Agreement, the

3. The Purchaser has conducted its own investigations, to the extent it deems satisfactory or
sufficient into matters relating to the business, properties, management, and financial
position and results of operations of the Company and the Project.
4. The Purchaser is aware that the operation of the Project involves certain economic variables
that could effect the security of its investment in the Bonds.
5. The Purchaser acknowledges that the Issuer is acting merely as a conduit issuer on behalf
of the Company, and that no revenue or assets of the Issuer are or can be used to pay the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest 0 the Bonds except for payments to be made by
the Company under the Notes and the Loan and Security Agreement, which have been
assigned to the Trustee.
6. The Purchaser understands that the Bonds are not registered under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended. The Purchaser is purchasing the Bonds for its own account for invest-
ment and not with a view to, and with no present intention of, distributing or reselling the
Bonds or any portion thereof, providing that the Purchaser reserves the right to transfer any
or all of the Bonds purchased or any interest therein at any time and in our sole discretion
and, in the event that we so transfer Bonds, we assume the responsibility for complying with
any applicable federal and state securities laws and the terms of the Indenture.
The Purchaser understands and agrees that the foregoing representations will be relied upon
by the Issuer in the issuance of the Bonds and by Bond Counsel to the Issuer [and counsel to the
Underwriter] in rendering opinions on the exclusion of the Bonds from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, 15 U.s.e. Section 77a.
