SECTION 5.3. SUFFICIENT REVENUES. Notwithstanding any other
provision of the Borrower's Documents, the Borrower unconditionally agrees that it will pay
pursuant to this Loan Agreement the full amount needed and at the times needed to enable the
Issuer (or the Bond Trustee on its behalf) to make timely payment of the principal of (whether
due upon maturity, redemption, acceleration or otherwise), premium, if any, and interest on the
Bonds.
SECTION 5.4. ISSUER'S RIGHT TO PERFORM THE BORROWER'S
COVENANTS. If the Borrower fails to make any payment or perform any act required by any
of the Borrower's Documents (unless the payment or performance is one which any of the
Borrower's Documents permits the Borrower to contest and the Borrower is contesting it by
diligently pursuing appropriate proceedings) then the Issuer or the Bond Trustee, upon not less
than five (5) days' prior written notice to the Borrower, may (but is not obligated to) remedy the
default for the account of the Borrower and make advances for that purpose. No remedy by the
Issuer or the Bond Trustee operates to release the Borrower from its default. Any money
advanced by the Issuer or the Bond Trustee in the discharge of an obligation of the Borrower
under this Loan Agreement are additional obligations of the Borrower to the one making the
advance, are due from the Borrower in immediately available funds on demand and bear interest
at the Bond Trustee's Prime Rate from the date of the advance until paid.

SECTION 5.5. INDEMNITY. (a) The Borrower agrees to pay, and agrees to
protect, indemnify and save the Issuer and the Bond Trustee harmless from and against any and
all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees), causes of
action, settlements, judgments or other obligations of any nature arising through any suits,
claims, demands, actions or proceedings of any nature arising from, in connection with or as a
result of:
(i) any injury to or death of any person or damage to property in or upon the Project
or resulting from or connected with the use, non-use, condition or occupancy of the Project or
any part thereof;
(ii) the violation of any agreement or condition of this Loan Agreement or the Tax
Exemption Agreement, except by the Bond Trustee;
(iii) the violation of any contract, agreement or restriction by the Borrower relating to
its property, plant and equipment;
(iv) the violation of any law, ordinance or regulation arising out of the ownership,
occupancy or use of its property, plant and equipment or any part thereof;
(v) the construction, acquisition, equipping and installation of the Project or the
failure to construct, acquire, equip or install the Project;
(vi) the issuance and sale of the Bonds or the execution, delivery and performance of
the Borrower's Documents or the Bond Indenture;
(vii) any act of the Borrower or any of its agents, contractors or licensees; and
(viii) any statement or information concerning the Borrower, its officers and members
or the property, plant and equipment of the Borrower contained in the Official Statement or any
other prospectus furnished to purchasers of any securities that is untrue or incorrect in any
material respect and any omission from the Official Statement or any prospectus of any
statement or information which should be contained in it for the purpose for which it is to be
used or which is necessary to make the statements in it concerning the Borrower, its officers and
members or the property, plant and equipment of the Borrower not misleading in any material
respect, if such other official statement or prospectus is approved in writing by the Borrower.
Nothing contained in this Loan Agreement prohibits the Borrower from pursuing its
remedies against the Issuer or the Bond Trustee for damages caused by the Issuer's gross
negligence or willful acts or the Bond Trustee's negligent or willful acts.
(b) The Borrower also agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Bond Trustee
against any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Bond Trustee arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Bond
Indenture, including the costs and expense of a defense against any claim or liability.
(c) If any suit, claim, demand, action or proceeding is brought against the Issuer or
the Bond Trustee with respect to which indemnity may be sought under this Section, the Issuer
and the Bond Trustee, as the case may be, agree to promptly notify the Borrower in writing, and
10
the Borrower agrees to assume the defense of the suit, claim, demand, action or proceeding,
including the employment of Independent Counsel and the payment of all expenses. Each of the
Issuer and the Bond Trustee may, however, retain its own counsel and still be indemnified
against the cost of employing counsel and all other expenses despite an assumption of the
defense by the Borrower if the Issuer or the Bond Trustee believes in good faith that there are
defenses available to it which are not available to the Borrower or which are adverse to or in
conflict with those available to the Borrower and which the Issuer or the Bond Trustee believes
in good faith cannot be effectively asserted by common counsel. The Issuer and the Bond
Trustee always have the right to employ separate Independent Counsel but, subject to the
preceding sentence, fees and expenses of its separate Independent Counsel must be paid by the
Issuer or the Bond Trustee unless the Borrower and the Issuer or the Bond Trustee have mutually
agreed to the employment of the Issuer's or the Bond Trustee's separate Independent Counsel.
The Borrower is not liable for any settlement of a suit, claim, demand, action or proceeding
effected without its written consent. If the suit, claim, demand, action or proceeding is settled
with the consent of the Borrower or results in a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Borrower
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Issuer and the Bond Trustee from and against any loss
or liability by reason of the settlement or judgment.
All amounts payable to or with respect to the Issuer under this Section shall be deemed to
be fees and expenses of the Issuer for the purposes of the provisions hereof and of the Bond
Indenture dealing with the assignment of the Issuer's rights hereunder.
SECTION 5.6. NOTICE OF DEFAULT. The Borrower agrees to give to the
Bond Trustee notice of any event which with the lapse of time or the giving of notice or both
would be an event of default hereunder (a "default") within ten (10) days of the Borrower or any
of its officers learning of the occurrence of the default.
SECTION 5.7. MAINTENANCE OF EXISTENCE. The Borrower agrees that
during the term of this Loan Agreement it will maintain its corporate existence as a provider of
utility services pursuant to the Act and will be duly qualified to transact business in the State,
will not dissolve, will not sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its
assets, will not receive from any other corporation by sale, lease, transfer or otherwise all or
substantially all of its assets, will not consolidate with or merge into another corporation and will
not permit one or more other corporations to consolidate with or merge into it.
SECTION 5.8. FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND REPORTS.
(a) The Borrower agrees to keep proper books of record and account in which full,
true and correct entries will be made of all the Borrower's business and affairs in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles consistently maintained.
(b) The Borrower agrees to comply with the continuing reporting requirements set
forth in the Continuing Disclosure Agreement.
(c) The Borrower agrees to provide such additional information as the Bond Trustee
may reasonably request to determine whether the covenants, terms and provisions of this Loan
Agreement have been complied with and for that purpose all pertinent books, documents and
vouchers relating to the business, affairs and Project (other than patient and personnel records),

inspection.
SECTION 5.9. TAX EXEMPT BONDS. The Borrower and Issuer intend that
the interest paid on the Series 2014A Bonds will be excluded from the gross income of the
Owners of the Series 2014A Bonds for federal income tax purposes pursuant to Section 103 of
the Code. The Borrower agrees that it will not take any action which would, or fail to take any
action the omission of which would, adversely affect the validity of the Series 2014A Bonds or
any exemption from federal income taxation to which interest on the Series 2014A Bonds would
otherwise be entitled.
SECTION 5.10. INVESTMENTS AND ARBITRAGE. Section 4.4 of the Bond
Indenture provides that money on deposit in the Bond Indenture funds will be invested in
Qualified Investments as directed by the Borrower. The Borrower agrees (i) to provide written
investment instructions to the Bond Trustee as needed, (ii) that all of such investment
instructions are subject to the provisions of the Tax Exemption Agreement and Section 6.9 of the
Bond Indenture, and (iii) that it will not make or direct any use of any funds which will cause the
Series 2014A Bonds to be "arbitrage bonds" within the meaning of such term as used in Section
148 of the Code ("Arbitrage Bonds"). The Borrower agrees for the benefit of the Owners of the
Series 2014A Bonds that no use will be made of the proceeds derived from the issuance and sale
of the Series 2014A Bonds which will cause the Series 2014A Bonds to be Arbitrage Bonds.
SECTION 5.11. DISPOSITION OF PROJECT FUND AND EXPENSE FUND
MONEYS. The Borrower agrees that if after payment by the Bond Trustee of all amounts
requested pursuant to Written Requests theretofore tendered to the Bond Trustee under the

3.1 and 3.2 of the Bond Indenture.

and pursuant to the terms set forth in such subsections.
(a) Except in the case of Additional Indebtedness issued for the purpose of refunding
Outstanding Bonds, the Borrower shall certify that it is current in all deposits into the various
funds and accounts established by the Bond Indenture and all payments theretofore required to
have been deposited or made by it under the provisions hereof and of the Bond Indenture, and
the Borrower is in compliance with the covenants and agreements of this Loan Agreement.
(b) An independent certified public accountant shall certify to the Borrower that the
amount of the Net Revenues (excluding Investment Earnings with respect to the Project Fund)
received by the Borrower during the immediately preceding Fiscal Year or any 12 consecutive
months selected by the Borrower of the 24 months immediately preceding the issuance of said
Additional Indebtedness, adjusted as hereinafter provided, were equal to at least 125%
