BINDING EFFECT. The Loan Documents shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of Bank and each Borrower and their successors and assigns, provided, however, that a Borrower may not assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations under the Loan Documents and any purported assignment or delegation shall be void, and provided further that Bank may sell participations in or assign all or portions of the loan commitment contained in this Agreement, and may exchange financial information about a Borrower, but not financial information with regard to employees of such Borrower, with actual or potential participants or assignees; provided, however, such actions shall not be taken by Bank without the prior written approval of such Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. 10.

PROMISE TO PAY AND INTEREST. For value received, the undersigned, EACH OF THE DISTRICTS IDENTIFIED IN SCHEDULE I HERETO (each a “Borrower” and collectively, “Borrowers”), ACTING THROUGH THE MARICOPA COUNTY TREASURER AS THEIR AGENT, promises to pay to or on the order of JPMORGAN CHASE BANK, N.A., or registered assigns (“Bank”) at its above office, or at such other place as Bank may designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America, (a) in the aggregate for all Borrowers, the principal sum equal to the Commitment Amount Cap (as such term is defined in and subject to adjustment from time to time in accordance with the Business Loan Agreement (Maricopa County Districts Revolving Line of Credit), of even date herewith (the “Loan Agreement”), between Borrowers and Bank, as it may be amended, modified, extended, renewed, restated, or supplemented from time to time), and (b) with respect to each Borrower, the lesser of the unpaid Advances under the Loan Agreement or the maximum amount shown for such Borrower on Schedule I hereto, as it may be amended from time to time, in either case as shown on the records of Bank which, when in agreement with the records of a Borrower, shall (absent manifest error) be conclusive as to such unpaid amount, with interest thereon from the date advanced at the Interest Rate (as hereinafter defined). Neither the Maricopa County Treasurer nor Maricopa County shall be liable for amounts owed by any Borrower hereunder. 2. INTEREST RATE. The Interest Rate (the “Interest Rate”) during each calendar quarter shall be the rate per annum equal to the rate per annum most recently publicly announced by Bank, or Bank’s successors, in Phoenix, Arizona, as Bank’s “prime rate”, as in effect from time to time, provided that in no event shall the Interest Rate at any time exceed one hundred ten percent (110%) of the previous quarter’s weighted average prime rate among the top three financial institutions by asset size in the State of Arizona. The Interest Rate will be redetermined by Bank on each day that the “prime rate” changes and any changes in the Interest Rate will be effective on A-2 4931-4618-1527.6 and after the date of such change and until the next change. The “prime rate” is set by Bank based on various factors, including Bank’s costs and desired return, general economic conditions and other factors, and is used as a reference point in pricing some loans. Bank may price loans to its customers at, above, or below its “prime rate.” Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Interest Rate at any time be less than zero percent (0.00%). 3. REQUIRED PAYMENTS; PAYMENT ON MATURITY. Prior to June 30, 2027, or if the Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date under the Loan Agreement has been extended by mutual agreement between Borrowers, acting through their agent, the Maricopa County Treasurer, and Bank (acting in its sole and absolute discretion), such Scheduled Commitment Expiration Date (the “Maturity Date”), payments under this Note shall be made as each Borrower receives “nonrestricted operating revenues”, as such term is used in the Act. On the Maturity Date each Borrower shall pay to Bank the unpaid principal, all accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts (“Other Amounts”) payable by such Borrower to Bank under the Loan Documents (as defined in the Loan Agreement). 4. INTEREST ON PRINCIPAL; DEFAULT RATE. Principal shall bear interest at the Interest Rate from the date of disbursement until the due date thereof, whether by acceleration or otherwise. Subject to Section 11(b) of this Note, principal, interest, and Other Amounts not paid when due and any judgment therefor shall bear interest from its due date or the judgment date, as applicable, until paid at a rate (the “Default Rate”) per annum equal to one hundred ten percent (110.00%) of the previous quarter’s weighted average prime rate among the top three financial institutions by asset size in the State of Arizona (unless a lower maximum rate of interest is then applicable under the Act, in which case, the Default Rate shall be such lower rate of interest under the Act), and such interest shall be immediately due and payable. 5. INTEREST ACCRUAL. All interest under the Loan Documents shall be computed on the basis of a 365-day year and accrue on a daily basis for the actual number of days elapsed. Each Borrower agrees to pay an effective rate of interest that is the sum of (i) the Interest Rate and (ii) any additional rate of interest resulting from any other charges or fees paid or to be paid in connection herewith that are determined to be interest or in the nature of interest. 6. PAYMENT IN FULL PRIOR TO THE MATURITY DATE. Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Loan Documents, each Borrower shall pay to Bank all outstanding principal, interest and Other Amounts on June 30 of each year relating to such Borrower. So long as a Borrower makes such payment, such Borrower shall, subject to the provisions of the Loan Agreement, continue to be entitled to Advances pursuant to the Loan Agreement prior to the commitment expiration date specified therein. Subject to Section 11(b) of this Note, principal, interest, and Other Amounts not paid on June 30 of each year shall bear interest from June 30 until paid at the Default Rate, and such interest shall be immediately due and payable. 7. APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. At the option of Bank, payments shall be applied to principal, interest, and Other Amounts in such order as Bank shall determine. 8. PREPAYMENT. A Borrower may prepay the outstanding principal balance hereof relating to such Borrower, in whole or in part, at any time prior to the Maturity Date without penalty or premium. A-3 4931-4618-1527.6 9. NO COUNTERCLAIMS, DEDUCTIONS, ETC. All payments and other obligations of each Borrower under the Loan Documents will be made and performed without counterclaim, deduction, defense, deferment, reduction, or set-off. 10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. Each of the following shall be an event of default (“Event of Default”) as to any Borrower to which the Event of Default applies: (a) Failure by a Borrower to pay when due (i) any amount payable by such Borrower under any of the Loan Documents, or (ii) any other indebtedness of such Borrower to Bank. (b) Failure by a Borrower to perform any material obligation not involving the payment of money, or to comply with any other term or condition applicable to such Borrower, in any of the Loan Documents.

A-4 4931-4618-1527.6 (h) Any legal proceeding or other action against or affecting any or all Collateral of a Borrower is commenced (including, without limitation, any prejudgment attachment or garnishment) and is not quashed, stayed, or released within twenty (20) days. (i) Any Collateral of a Borrower is sold, disposed of, or otherwise transferred by such Borrower after the date of this Note, not in the ordinary course of operations of Borrower.

(l) A Borrower abandons or, except for expenditure of funds included in the Collateral in the ordinary operations of Borrower, ceases to have exclusive possession of any Collateral or any books and records of Borrower relating to the Collateral. (m) A Borrower or any other person on behalf of Borrower claims that any Loan Document is not legal, valid, binding, and enforceable against Borrower, that any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance securing any of the obligations under the Loan Documents is not legal, valid, binding, and enforceable, or that the priority of any lien, security interest, or other encumbrance securing any of the obligations in the Loan Documents is different than the priority set forth in the Act (except as such priority may be affected by the laws regarding garnishment of wages of Borrower’s employees and federal and state tax liens for withholding taxes of Borrower’s employees).

RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF BANK. (a) Upon occurrence of an Event of Default, Bank may, at its option, in its absolute and sole discretion, and without demand or notice, (i) declare the obligations in the Loan Documents to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the obligations in the Loan Documents shall be immediately due and payable, and (ii) exercise any or all other rights and remedies of Bank concurrently or consecutively in such order as Bank elects. The rights and remedies of Bank shall be cumulative and non-exclusive.

Exercise of any right or remedy of Bank shall not cure or waive any Event of Default or invalidate any act done in response to any Event of Default.
