In order to induce the Purchasers to enter into the Note Purchase Agreement and to purchase the Notes from the Authority, the Authority has agreed that it will cause each Guarantor to guarantee the Obligations of the Authority under the terms of the Notes and the Note Purchase Agreement pursuant to the terms and provisions hereof.

The Authority and each Guarantor have induced the Purchasers to purchase the Notes based on the consolidated financial condition of each Guarantor and the Authority.

All acts and proceedings required by law and by the certificate of incorporation and bylaws (or other applicable constitutive documents) of each Guarantor necessary to constitute this Guarantee a valid and binding agreement for the uses and purposes set forth herein in accordance with its terms have been done and taken, and the execution and delivery hereof has been in all respects duly authorized.

Section 2.16 Delay or Omission; No Waiver.
