TERMS. EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF THE BONDS

 

Section 201. Issuance of Bonds in Series. The Bonds may be issued in different series and each Bond shall have an appropriate series designation. All of the Bonds shall be equally and ratably secured by this Indenture and by the pledge herein made, it being expressly understood and agreed that no Bonds issued hereunder shall be prior to any other Bonds thereafter issued hereunder, but shall be on a parity therewith, with respect to the pledge of this Indenture.

 

Section 202. Dates and Places of Payment of Bonds. Each series of the Bonds shall bear such date as shall be specified in this Indenture or in the supplemental indenture providing for the issuance thereof and shall mature on such dates in such years and in such amounts as shall be fixed therefor prior to the issuance thereof. Interest on the Bonds from their respective dates until their respective maturities shall be payable at such rates as shall be fixed therefor prior to the issuance thereof.

 

The Bonds shall be issued as fully registered Bonds as hereinafter provided.

 

Each Bond shall be dated the date of its authentication and delivery by the Trustee. The Bonds shall bear interest from the Interest Payment Date next preceding the date of authentication of such Bond to which interest has been paid or provided for, unless: (1) the date of authentication of such Bond is an Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or provided for, then from the date of authentication thereof, or (2) no interest has been paid on such Bond, in which case from the date of authentication and delivery of such Bond or (3) such authentication date shall be after any Record Date and before the next succeeding Interest Payment Date in which case interest shall be paid from the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.

 

The principal of and interest on each of the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America by check to the owner thereof delivered at the address of such owner as shown on the bond register maintained by the Trustee as Bond Registrar (the “Bond Register”), unless there shall be in effect a home office payment agreement satisfactory to the Trustee, as provided in Section 208 hereof. Such payments shall be made to the person in whose name a Bond shall be registered on the Bond Register, with respect to payment of principal, on the date such principal is due, and, with respect to the payment of interest, as of the applicable Record Date as shown on the Bond Register. Payment of the final installment of principal of each Bond to the owner thereof shall be made upon surrender of the Bond to the Trustee. The Bond Registrar shall maintain a record of the amount and date of all payments or prepayments of the principal of and interest on the Bonds.

 

 8 

 

 

Section 203. Execution; Limited Obligation. The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by the official manual signature of its Chair or Vice Chair and the Issuer’s corporate seal shall be affixed thereto and attested by the official manual signature of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary. The obligation of the Issuer to pay the Bonds and the interest thereon shall not be a general obligation of the Issuer but shall be a limited obligation which shall be payable from, and wholly secured by, a pledge of the rental payments and other payments received from the Company derived by the Issuer under the Lease Agreement together with all other rents, revenues and receipts arising out of or in connection with the Issuer’s ownership of the Project. The Bonds shall not constitute obligations of the State of Georgia, Fulton County, City of Atlanta, Georgia or any political subdivision therein. If any officer of the Issuer who shall have signed or sealed any Bonds shall cease to be such officer before such Bond so signed and/or sealed has been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, such Bond nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered as though the person who signed and/or sealed such Bond had not ceased to be such officer, and also any Bond may be signed and sealed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as at the actual time of execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers of the Issuer, although at the date of such Bond such persons may not have been officers of the Issuer. The Issuer has no taxing power.

 

Section 204.        Authentication. Only such Bonds as shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinafter set forth duly executed by the Trustee shall be entitled to any right or benefit under this Indenture. No Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless and until such certificate of authentication shall have been duly executed by the Trustee, and such executed certificate of the Trustee upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. Said certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by the Trustee if signed by an authorized signatory of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder.

 

Section 205. Form of Bonds. The Bonds and the form for transfer and the validation certificate to be printed thereon, and the Trustee’s certificate to be endorsed on all Bonds shall be in substantially the form hereinafter set forth in Section 303 hereof with such appropriate variations, omissions, substitutions and insertions as are permitted or required by this Indenture and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends and endorsements placed thereon, as may be required to comply with any applicable laws or rules or regulations, or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Bonds, as evidenced by their execution of the Bonds.

 

Section 206. Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If any Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer may execute and the Trustee may authenticate and deliver a new Bond in the same principal amount in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed; provided that, in the case of any mutilated Bond, such mutilated Bond shall first be surrendered to the Trustee, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Bond, there shall be first furnished to the Issuer and the Trustee evidence satisfactory to them and to the Company of the ownership of such Bond and of such loss, theft or destruction, together with indemnity satisfactory to them. If any such Bond shall have fully matured, instead of issuing a new Bond the Issuer may pay the same. The Issuer and the Trustee may charge the owner of such Bond with their reasonable fees, costs and expenses in this connection.

 

Section 207. Transfer of Bonds; Persons Treated as Owners. The Issuer shall cause books for the transfer of the Bonds as provided in this Indenture to be kept by the Trustee which is hereby constituted and appointed the Bond Registrar of the Issuer. Upon surrender for transfer of any Bond at the Principal Office of the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered Bond or fully registered Bonds in the same aggregate principal amount of any authorized denomination or denominations. Fully registered Bonds may be exchanged at the Principal Office of the Trustee for an equal aggregate principal amount of fully registered Bonds of any authorized denomination or denominations.

 

 9 

 

 

Any Bond shall be fully transferable by the registered owner on the Bond Register to be provided for that purpose, upon presentation of such Bond for notation of transfer thereof at the Principal Office of the Trustee, as Bond Registrar, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar duly executed by the registered owner or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any such transfer, but the Bond Registrar may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

REVENUES AND

 

FUNDS

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 1201. Acceptance of the Trusts. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform its duties hereunder as would an ordinarily prudent trustee, but only upon and subject to the following express terms and conditions:

 

(a)          The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an event of default and after the curing of all events of default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an event of default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

 

(b)          The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees and shall not be liable for the conduct of the same if such attorneys, agents, receivers or employees are selected with reasonable care, and shall be entitled to advice of Counsel concerning all matters of trust hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act upon the opinion or advice of any attorney (who may be the attorney or attorneys for the Issuer or the Company), approved by the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or non-action in good faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice.

 

(c)          The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recital herein, or in the Bonds (except in respect to the authentication certificate of the Trustee endorsed on the Bonds), or for the recording or re-recording, filing or re-filing of this Indenture, or the Lease Agreement, or for insuring the Trust Estate or any part of the Project or collecting any insurance moneys, or for the validity of the execution by the Issuer of this Indenture or of any supplements hereto or instruments of further assurance, or for the sufficiency of the security for the Bonds, or for the value of or title in and to the Trust Estate or any part of the Project or otherwise as to the maintenance of the security hereof; except that if the Trustee enters into possession of a part or all of the Trust Estate pursuant to any provision of this Indenture it shall use due diligence in preserving the same, and the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, agreements or conditions on the part of the Issuer or on the part of the Company under the Lease Agreement, except as hereinafter set forth; but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or the Company full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, agreements and conditions aforesaid and as to the condition of the Trust Estate. The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss suffered in connection with any investment of funds made by it in accordance with Sections 801 and 802 hereof.

 

 41 

 

 

(d)          The Trustee may become the owner of Bonds with the same rights which it would have if it were not Trustee.

 

(e)          The Trustee may conclusively rely upon and shall be fully protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or documents believed to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons. Any action taken by the Trustee, pursuant to this Indenture upon the request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or consent is the owner of any Bond, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Bond and upon Bonds issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.

 

(f)          As to the existence or non-existence of any fact or as to the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon a certificate signed on behalf of the Issuer by the Chair or Vice Chair of the Issuer and attested by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to the occurrence of a default of which the Trustee has been notified as provided in subsection (h) of this Section, or of which by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or expedient, but may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The Trustee may accept a certificate of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer under its seal to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the Issuer as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect.

 

(g)          The right of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its gross negligence or willful misconduct.

 

(h)          The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder or under the Lease Agreement except, to the extent hereinafter provided, failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Article V hereof and failure by the Company to make the rental payments required to be made under Section 5.3 of the Lease, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such default by the Issuer or by the owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds. The Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any of the defaults described in the preceding sentence during any period or with respect to any Bond in respect of which a home office payment agreement is in effect, unless specifically notified in writing of such default by the Purchaser, the Issuer or the Company. All notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the Principal Office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no default except as aforesaid.

 

 42 

 

 

(i)          The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any debts contracted or for damages to persons or property, or for salaries or non-fulfillment of contracts during any period in which it may be in the possession of or managing the Project as in this Indenture provided.

 

(j)          At reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and representatives who are acceptable to the Company, and accompanied by an official of the Company, shall have the right to inspect the Project as well as all books, papers and records of the Issuer pertaining to the Project and the Bonds, and to take copies of such memoranda from and in regard thereto only as required from the books, papers and records of the Issuer.

 

(k)          The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in respect of the premises.

 

(1)          Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any showings, certificates, opinions of Counsel, appraisals or other information, or corporate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof required as a condition of such action by the Trustee relevant to and deemed desirable in connection with the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee.

 

(m)         Before taking any action hereunder the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond be furnished for the reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability, including, but not limited to, any liability arising directly or indirectly under any federal, state or local statute, rule, law or ordinance related to the protection of the environment or to hazardous substances, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Trustee by reason of any action so taken. None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur liability, financial or otherwise, in the performance of any of its duties or the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder.

 

(n)          All moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent for the Bonds shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust for the purpose for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required herein or by law. Neither the Trustee nor any such paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon.

 

(o)          The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the obligor of any of the Bonds or the proceeds thereof or for the use or application of any money paid over by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture or for the use and application of money received by any paying agent.

 

 43 

 

 

(p)          Notwithstanding the effective date of this Indenture or anything to the contrary in this Indenture, the Trustee shall have no liability or responsibility for any act or event relating to this Indenture which occurs prior to the date the Trustee formally executes this Indenture and commences acting as Trustee hereunder.

 

(q)          The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any information, statement or recital in any official statement, offering memorandum or any other disclosure material prepared or distributed with respect to the Bonds and shall have no responsibility for compliance with any state or federal securities laws in connection with the Bonds.

 

(r)          The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods, provided, however, that the Issuer and the Company, respectively, shall provide to the Trustee an incumbency certificate listing designated persons with the authority to provide such instructions, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person is to be added or deleted from the listing. If the Issuer or the Company elect to give the Trustee e-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling. The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Issuer and the Company each agree to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk of interception and misuse by third parties.

 

(s)          The Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligation under this Indenture arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including, without limitation, acts of God; earthquakes; fire; flood; hurricanes or tropical storms; wars; terrorism; similar military disturbances; sabotage; epidemic; riots; interruptions; loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications services; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental action; it being understood that the Trustee shall use commercially reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, but only upon such occurrence, the Trustee shall have a first lien on the Trust Estate with right of payment prior to payment of the principal of and interest on any Bond for the foregoing advances, fees, costs and expenses incurred.

Section 1204. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Issuer is a party which, in the opinion of the Trustee and its Counsel, has a substantial bearing on the interest of the owners of the Bonds outstanding, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the owners of the Bonds and shall do so if requested in writing by the owners of at least 25% in principal amount of the Bonds and is properly indemnified to its satisfaction.

Section 1206. Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving 30 days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Company and by first class mail to each registered owner of Bonds, and such resignation shall take effect at the end of such 30-day period, or upon the earlier appointment of a successor Trustee by the owners of the Bonds or by the Issuer. Such notice to the Issuer and the Company may be served personally or sent by registered or certified mail. The Trustee’s right to fees and indemnity survives the resignation of the Trustee.

Every such Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be a trust company or bank (having trust powers) in good standing, within or outside the State of Georgia, having an unimpaired capital and surplus of not less than fifty million dollars ($50,000,000), if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms.

 

Section 1209. Concerning Any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Issuer an instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by any successor Trustee in order to more fully and certainly vest in such successor the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The resignation of any Trustee and the instrument or instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for in this Article, shall be filed and/or recorded by the successor Trustee in each recording office where the Indenture and Lease Agreement shall have been filed and/or recorded.

Section 1211. Trustee Protected in Relying Upon Resolutions, etc. The resolutions, opinions, certificates and other instruments provided for in this Indenture may be accepted by the Trustee as conclusive evidence of the facts and conclusions stated therein and shall be full warrant, protection and authority to the Trustee for the release of property and the withdrawal of moneys hereunder.

Section 1213. Trust Estate May Be Vested in Co-Trustee. It is the purpose of this Indenture that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction (including particularly the laws of the State of Georgia) denying or restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact business as a trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that in case of litigation under this Indenture, and in particular in case of the enforcement of either the Indenture or the Lease Agreement upon the occurrence of an event of default, it may be necessary that there be appointed an additional individual or institution as a separate Trustee or Co-Trustee. The following provisions of this Section 1213 are adapted to these ends.

 

In the event of the incapacity or lack of authority of the Trustee, by reason of any present or future law of any jurisdiction, to exercise any of the rights, powers and trusts herein granted to the Trustee or to hold title to the Trust Estate or to take any other action which may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, the Issuer with the consent of the Company may appoint, and at the request of the Trustee shall appoint, a separate Trustee or Co-Trustee and each and every remedy, power, right, claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable the separate Trustee or Co-Trustee to exercise such rights, powers and trusts, and every covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

 

Should any deed, conveyance or instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the separate Trustee or Co-Trustee so appointed in order to more fully and certainly vest in and confirm to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations, any and all such deeds, conveyances and instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. In case any separate Trustee or Co-Trustee or a successor to either, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to such separate Trustee or Co-Trustee.

 

 47 

 

 

Section 1214. Continuation Statements. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any initial filings of any Financing Statements or the information contained therein (including the exhibits thereto), the perfection of any such security interests, or the accuracy or sufficiency of any description of collateral in such initial filings or for filing any modifications or amendments to the initial filings required by any amendments to Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. In addition, unless the Trustee shall have been notified in writing by the Issuer or the Company that any such initial filing or description of collateral was or has become defective, the Trustee shall be fully protected in (i) relying on such initial filing and descriptions in filing any continuation statements or modifications thereto pursuant to this Section and (ii) filing any continuation statements in the same filing offices as the initial filings were made. The Trustee shall cause to be filed a continuation statement with respect to each Uniform Commercial Code financing statement relating to the Bonds which was filed at the time of the issuance thereof, in such manner and in such places as the initial filings were made, provided that a copy of the filed original financing statement is timely delivered to the Trustee. The Company shall be responsible for the reasonable costs incurred by the Trustee in the preparation and filing of all continuation statements hereunder.

 

Section 1215. Special Trustee Powers Due to Environmental Conditions. Prior to exercising any remedy against the Project which requires the Trustee to re-enter and take possession of the Project, to sub-lease the Project, to terminate the Lease Term and use its best efforts to lease the Project to another lessee, or to exercise any remedies under the U.C.C. of the State or any similar remedy, the Trustee may cause an environmental assessment of the Project to be made and to take such action, based upon advice by its counsel, to safeguard the Trustee from liability and to protect the Trust Estate from liability or impairment of value.

(a)          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by the owners of the Bonds may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such owners in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Issuer and the Company, together with the prior written consent of Mortgagee to the extent required herein. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Company and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 

(b)          The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

 

(c)          The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.

 

(d)          The ownership of Bonds shall be proved by the registration books kept by the Trustee as Bond Registrar.

 

(e)          Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action by any owner of the Bonds shall bind every future owner of the same Bond in respect of anything done or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Issuer in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond.

 

Section 1502. Limitation of Rights. With the exception of rights herein expressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied from this Indenture or the Bonds is intended or shall be construed to give to any Person other than the parties hereto, the Company and the owners of the Bonds, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect to this Indenture or any covenants, agreements, conditions and provisions herein contained; this Indenture and all of the covenants, agreements, conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, the Company and the owners of the Bonds as herein provided.
