Section 2.02. Registration and Payment of Bonds.

 

(a) The Trustee shall maintain at its Designated Office books for the registration and transfer of Bonds. So long as any Bonds remain Outstanding, the Trustee shall make all necessary provisions to permit the exchange or registration or transfer of Bonds. The Trustee is authorized, on behalf of the Corporation, to authenticate and deliver Bonds transferred or exchanged in accordance with the provisions of such Bonds and this Indenture. The Trustee shall be responsible for its representations contained in the Certificate of Authentication on the Bonds.

 

(b) Except as provided in Article VII hereof, the Corporation and the Trustee shall deem and treat the registered Owner of each Bond as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and neither the Corporation nor the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Payment of any such Bond shall be made only as described in Section 2.02(f) hereof, but such Bond may be transferred as herein provided. All such payments made as described in Section 2.02(f) shall be valid and shall satisfy and discharge the liability of the Corporation upon such Bond to the extent of the amount or amounts so paid.

 

(c) The Bonds shall initially be held in fully immobilized form by DTC acting as depository. To induce DTC to accept the Bonds as eligible for deposit at DTC, the Corporation has heretofore executed and delivered to DTC the Issuer Letter of Representations. Neither the Corporation nor the Trustee will have any responsibility or obligation to DTC participants or the persons for whom they act as nominees (or any successor depository) with respect to the Bonds in respect of the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant, the payment by DTC (or any successor depository) or any DTC participant of any amount in respect of the principal of or interest on Bonds, any notice that is permitted or required to be given to registered Owners under this Indenture (except such notices as shall be required to be given by the Corporation to the Trustee or to DTC (or any successor depository)), or any consent given or other action taken by DTC (or any successor depository) as the registered Owner. For so long as any Bonds are held in fully-immobilized form hereunder, DTC or its successor depository shall be deemed to be the registered Owner for all purposes hereunder, and all references herein to the registered Owners shall mean DTC (or any successor depository) or its nominee and shall not mean the owners of any beneficial interest in such Bonds.

 

Unless otherwise provided in Section 7.06, if any Bond shall be duly presented for payment and funds have not been duly provided by the Corporation on such applicable date, then interest shall continue to accrue thereafter on the unpaid principal thereof at the rate stated on such Bond until such Bond is paid.

 

(d) The transfer of any Bond may be registered and Bonds may be exchanged, but no transfer of any such Bond shall be valid unless such Bond is surrendered to the Trustee with the assignment form appearing on such Bond duly executed by the registered Owner or such registered Owner’s duly authorized agent in a manner satisfactory to the Trustee. Upon such surrender, the Trustee shall cancel the surrendered Bond and shall authenticate and deliver, without charge to the registered Owner or transferee therefor, a new Bond (or Bonds at the option of the new registered Owner) of the same date, maturity and interest rate and for the same

 

-19-


aggregate principal amount in any Authorized Denomination, naming as registered Owner the person or persons listed as the assignee on the assignment form appearing on the surrendered Bond, in exchange for such surrendered and cancelled Bond. Any Bond may be surrendered to the Trustee and exchanged, without charge, for an equal aggregate principal amount of Bonds of the same date, maturity and interest rate, in any Authorized Denomination.

 

(e) The Trustee may become the registered Owner of any Bond with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, and to the extent permitted by law, may act as depository for and permit any of its officers or directors to act as member of, or in any other capacity with respect to, any committee formed to protect the right of the registered Owners of Bonds.

 

(f) Both principal of and interest on the Bonds shall be payable in lawful money of the United States of America. Interest on the Bonds shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year and twelve 30-day months. For so long as all Bonds are in fully immobilized form, payments of principal and interest shall be made as provided in accordance with the operational arrangements of DTC referred to in the Letter of Representations.

 

In the event that the Bonds are no longer in fully immobilized form, interest on the Bonds shall be paid by check or draft mailed to the Owners at the addresses for such Owners appearing on the Bond registration books on the 15th day of the month preceding the interest payment date, and principal of the Bonds shall be payable upon presentation and surrender of such Bonds by the Owners at the Designated Office of the Trustee; provided, however, that if so requested in writing by the Owner of at least $1,000,000 principal amount of Bonds, interest will be paid by wire transfer on the date due to an account with a bank located within the United States.

 

Section 2.03. Use of Depository.

 

(a) The Bonds shall be registered initially in the name of “Cede & Co.” or in such other name as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC, as nominee of DTC, with one Bond maturing on each of the maturity dates for the Bonds in an Authorized Denomination corresponding to the total principal therein designated to mature on such date. Registered ownership of such immobilized Bonds, or any portions thereof, may not thereafter be transferred except (i) to any successor of DTC or its nominee, provided that any such successor shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the service proposed to be provided by it; (ii) to any substitute depository appointed by the Corporation pursuant to subsection (b) below or such substitute depository’s successor; or (iii) to any person as provided in subsection (d) below.

 

(b) Upon the resignation of DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor) from its functions as depository or a determination by the Corporation to discontinue the system of book entry transfers through DTC or its successor (or any substitute depository or its successor), the Corporation may hereafter appoint a substitute depository. Any such substitute depository shall be qualified under any applicable laws to provide the services proposed to be provided by it.

 

(c) In the case of any transfer pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of subsection (a) above, the Trustee shall, upon receipt of all outstanding Bonds, together with a written request by the Corporation Representative, issue a single new Bond for each maturity then outstanding, registered in the name of such successor or such substitute depository, or their nominees, as the case may be, all as specified in such written request of the Corporation Representative.

 

-20-


(d) In the event that (i) DTC or its successor (or substitute depository or its successor) resigns from its functions as depository, and no substitute depository can be obtained, or (ii) the Corporation determines that it is in the best interest of the beneficial owners of the Bonds that such owners be able to obtain such bonds in the form of Bond certificates, the ownership of such Bonds may then be transferred to any person or entity as herein provided, and shall no longer be held in fully-immobilized form. The Corporation Representative shall deliver a written request to the Trustee, together with a supply of definitive Bonds, to issue Bonds as herein provided in any Authorized Denomination. Upon receipt by the Trustee of all then outstanding Bonds together with a written request on behalf of the Corporation to the Trustee, new Bonds shall be issued in the appropriate denominations and registered in the names of such persons as are requested in such written request.

 

Section 2.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Bonds.

 

If (i) any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee or if the Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee and the Corporation such security or indemnity as the Trustee reasonably may require to hold the Corporation and the Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser and upon the Owner’s paying the reasonable expenses of the Trustee and the Corporation and of any security or indemnity bond required by the Trustee, the Corporation shall cause to be executed and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for such mutilated Bond or in lieu of such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of like principal amount, date and tenor. If any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become, or will on or before the next Bond Payment Date become, due and payable, the Trustee may, in its discretion, pay such Bond when due instead of delivering a new Bond.

 

Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Bonds.

 

The Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation with the manual or facsimile signature of its President, and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary. In case any officer who shall have signed any of the Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the Bonds so signed or attested shall have been authenticated or delivered by the Registrar or issued by the Corporation, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall be as binding upon the Corporation as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers of the Corporation. Also, any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Corporation by such persons as on the actual date of the execution of such Bond shall be the proper officers although on the nominal date of such Bond any such person shall not have been such officer.

 

The President of the Corporation is hereby authorized to have control of the Bonds and all necessary records and proceedings pertaining to the Bonds pending their investigation, examination, and approval by the Attorney General of the State; their registration by the Comptroller of Public Accounts of the State; and their delivery to the Underwriter. A single

 

-21-


Bond shall be submitted to the Attorney General of Texas (the “Initial Bond”) for such purpose. Upon registration of the Initial Bonds, said Comptroller of Public Accounts (or a deputy designated in writing to act for said Comptroller) shall manually sign the Comptroller’s Registration Certificate. The Initial Bonds thus registered shall remain in the custody of the President of the Issuer (or his designee) until delivered to the Underwriter. Except for the Initial Bond, only such Bonds as shall have endorsed thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth and duly executed by the Trustee shall be entitled to any right, security, or benefit under this Indenture. Except for the Initial Bond, 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 upon any such Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture and that the Owner thereof is entitled to the benefits of the trust hereby created. The Trustee’s certificate of authentication on any Bond shall be deemed to have been duly executed by it if (a) signed by an authorized officer or signatory of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer or signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Bonds issued hereunder, and (b) the date of registration and authentication of the Bond is inserted in the place provided therefor on the certificate of authentication.

 

Section 2.06. Non-Presentment of Bonds.

REDEMPTION OF BONDS

 

Section 3.01. Optional Redemption.

 

The Bonds are not subject to optional redemption prior to maturity except as provided in Section 3.03 below.

 

Section 3.02. Reserved.

 

Section 3.03. Extraordinary Optional Redemption.

 

The Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional redemption prior to maturity at any time, at the option of the Corporation, but only upon the direction of the Developer (prior to Final Completion) or the direction of the Operator (after Final Completion) and, in any case, with the prior written consent of the Insurer, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of Outstanding Bonds or portions thereof being redeemed, plus interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption as follows:

 

(a) in whole or in part and if in part, pro rata, prior to Final Completion of the Project at the direction of the Developer (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) in the event of damage to or destruction of all or any portion of the Project, if the Developer in good faith determines, in consultation with the Insurer, that the continued development of the Project is impracticable, uneconomical or undesirable for any reason whatsoever;

 

(b) in whole or in part and if in part, pro rata, prior to Final Completion of the Project at the direction of the Developer (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) if any part or component of the Project shall be taken by any public authority or entity in the exercise of or acquired under the threat of the exercise of its power of eminent domain and the Developer shall have determined in the exercise of its professional judgment in consultation with the Insurer that any such taking would have a material adverse effect on the ability of the Developer to complete the Project in accordance with the ICE Contract; and

 

(c) in whole or in part and if in part, pro rata, after Final Completion of the Project at the direction of the Operator (with the prior written consent of the Insurer) if (i) any part or component of the Project having a value of $100,000 or more shall be damaged or destroyed, or if such damage or destruction is reasonably likely to cause a material disruption to or suspension of services at the Project, or (ii) any part or component of the Project shall be taken by any public authority or entity in the exercise of or acquired under the threat of the exercise of its power of eminent domain, and the Operator shall have determined in the exercise of its professional judgment in consultation with the Insurer that the Project does not remain suitable for continued operation for its intended purposes.

 

If all of the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, then in addition to any funds received as a result of the damage to or destruction of the Project or the exercise of or threat of the power of eminent domain, all the amounts held in the Funds created under Article V of this Indenture shall be used to redeem the Bonds and to pay Reimbursement Obligations. If only a part of the Outstanding Bonds are to be redeemed, they may only be redeemed from any funds received as a

 

-24-


result of the damage to or destruction of the Complex or the exercise of or threat of the power of the eminent domain that are not applied to restore the Project or acquire replacement property constituting part of the Project and from amounts held in the Funds created under Article V of this Indenture as explicitly authorized under Article V of this Indenture.

 

Such redemption shall be made upon receipt by the Trustee from the Corporation, together with the consent from the Insurer and the direction from the Developer or the Operator, as the case may be, of a written instruction to redeem received at least 45 days before the date fixed for redemption. No redemption shall be permitted unless all Reimbursement Obligations are paid.

 

Section 3.04. Selection of Bonds to be Redeemed.

 

In the event of a redemption of the Bonds in part, such redemption shall be made pro rata; provided that the portion of any Bond that remains Outstanding shall be in an Authorized Denomination.

 

Section 3.05. Partial Redemption of Bonds.

 

Upon the selection and call for redemption of, and the surrender of, any Bond for redemption in part only, the Corporation shall cause to be executed (and the Trustee shall prepare) and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or upon the written order of the Owner thereof, at the expense of the Operator, a new Bond or Bonds of the same maturity and bearing interest at the same interest rate and of Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Bond surrendered.

 

Section 3.06. Effect of Call for Redemption.

 

On the date fixed for redemption by notice given as herein provided if moneys sufficient for the payment of the redemption price are on deposit with the Trustee, the Bonds so called for redemption shall become and be due and payable at the redemption price provided for redemption of such Bonds on such date. If on the date fixed for redemption money sufficient for payment of the redemption price and accrued interest is held by the Trustee as provided herein, interest on the Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, such Bonds shall cease to be entitled to any benefit or security hereunder except the right to receive payment from the money held by the Trustee and the amount of such Bonds so called for redemption shall be deemed paid and no longer Outstanding.

 

Section 3.07. Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of any redemption is required to be given at least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption, by first class mail to the Owners of the Bonds. However, the failure to give a notice of redemption or a defect in such notice does not affect (i) the validity of any proceedings for the redemption of a Bond or portion of a Bond if the Owner of such Bond receives actual notice of the redemption from any source or (ii) the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any Bonds or portion of Bonds for which proper notice was given. If any Bonds have been called for redemption but are not presented to the Trustee for payment within 60 days after the date fixed for redemption, the Trustee shall send to the owners

 

-25-


of those Bonds a second notice of redemption, within 75 days after the date set for redemption. So long as DTC is acting as securities depository for the Bonds, notice of any redemption of the Bonds shall be sent by the Trustee only to DTC or its nominee. Information also will be sent in such manner as the Trustee deems appropriate to the Nationally Recognized Municipal Securities Information Depositories and State Information Depository recognized by the Securities Exchange Commission or its successor that disseminate redemption notices and any other sources that the Trustee determines to be customary or appropriate.

 

If at the time of mailing of any notice of extraordinary optional redemption pursuant to Section 3.03, there shall not have been deposited with the Trustee money sufficient to redeem all the Bonds (or the portion thereof) called for redemption, such notice shall state that it is subject to the deposit of the redemption money with the Trustee not later than the opening of business on the date fixed for redemption and that such notice will be of no effect unless such money is so deposited.

Chapter 1208.001, as amended, Texas Government Code, applies to the issuance of the Bonds and the pledge of the Revenues under this Indenture, and such pledge is therefore valid, effective and perfected. If Texas law is amended at any time while the Bonds are Outstanding such that the pledge of the Revenues granted under this Indenture is to be subject to the filing requirements of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code, then in order to preserve to the registered owners of the Bonds the perfection of the security interest in said pledge, the Corporation agrees to take such measures as it determines are reasonable and necessary under Texas law to comply with the applicable provisions of Chapter 9, Business & Commerce Code and to enable a filing to perfect the security interest in said pledge to occur.

NO PROVISION, COVENANT, OR AGREEMENT CONTAINED HEREIN, OR ANY OBLIGATIONS HEREIN IMPOSED UPON THE CORPORATION, OR THE BREACH THEREOF, SHALL CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS OF THE DEVELOPER OR THE OPERATOR OR SHALL CONSTITUTE OR GIVE RISE TO A CHARGE AGAINST THE DEVELOPER OR THE OPERATOR’S GENERAL CREDIT.

None of the provisions of this Indenture shall require the Corporation or (except as provided in the Operating Agreement or the Development Agreement) the Operator to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers hereunder, unless payable from the Trust Estate. The Corporation shall not be under any obligation hereunder to perform any record keeping or to provide any legal services, it being understood that such services shall be performed or provided by the Operator. The Corporation covenants that it will faithfully perform at all times any and all covenants, undertakings, stipulations, and provisions expressly contained in this Indenture, in any and every Bond executed, authenticated, and delivered hereunder and in the Operating Agreement and the Corporation Documents and in all of its proceedings pertaining thereto; provided, however, that (a) the Corporation shall not be obligated to take any action (other than

 

-44-


to pay the Bonds) or to execute any instrument pursuant to any provision hereof until it shall have been requested to do so by the Operator or the Trustee or the Insurer, and (b) the Corporation shall have received the instrument to be executed, and, at the Corporation’s option, shall have received assurance satisfactory to the Corporation that the Corporation shall be reimbursed for its reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred in connection with taking such action (other than payment of the Bonds) or executing such instrument.

 

Section 6.03. Instruments of Further Assurance.

 

The Corporation covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered by the parties within its control, such instruments supplemental hereto and such further acts, instruments and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require for the better assuring, transferring, mortgaging, conveying, pledging, assigning and confirming unto the Trustee the Corporation’s interest in and to Trust Estate including the payments under the Assignment of Claims or the Corporation Documents and all other interests, revenues and receipts pledged hereby to the payment of the principal of and interest on the Bonds in the manner and to the extent contemplated herein. Except as provided in Section 6.01, the Corporation shall be under no obligation to prepare, record or file any such instruments or transfers.

 

Section 6.04. Rights Under Agreements.

 

The Corporation agrees that the Trustee in its own name or in the name of the Corporation upon notice to the Corporation may enforce, subject to Sections 7.03 and 7.15, all rights of the Corporation and all obligations of the Operator under the Assignment of Claims, the Corporation Documents and all collateral thereunder, for and on behalf of the Owners, notwithstanding that the Corporation has not undertaken itself to enforce such obligations and that except as requested by the Trustee (at the direction of or with the consent of Insurer) or the Insurer and except in the case of the Corporation’s Unassigned Rights and except in connection with the Corporation’s obligations under Section 11.06, the Corporation shall not undertake to enforce such rights and obligations.

 

Section 6.05. Rights Under and Possession of the Deed of Trust.

 

The Deed of Trust, duly executed originals or counterparts of which have been filed with the Trustee, sets forth the covenants and obligations of the Corporation, including provisions that subsequent to the initial issuance of the Bonds and prior to their payment in full or provision for payment thereof in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Deed of Trust may not be effectively amended, changed, modified, altered, or terminated (other than as provided therein) without the written consent of the Insurer, and reference is hereby made to the Deed of Trust, for a detailed statement of said covenants and obligations of the Corporation under the Deed of Trust and the Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer, and shall at the direction of the Insurer, enforce all obligations of the Corporation under and pursuant to the Deed of Trust for and on behalf of the Bondholders and the Insurer, whether or not the Corporation is in default hereunder. So long as any of the Bonds remain Outstanding or any Reimbursement Obligations are due under the Indenture or the Insurance Agreement, the Corporation shall faithfully and punctually perform and observe all obligations and undertakings on its part to be performed and

observed under this Indenture and the Deed of Trust.

Section 7.06. Application of Revenues and Other Money After Default.

 

If and only if the Trustee is directed in writing by the Insurer to apply the provisions of this Section 7.06, during the continuance of an Event of Default all money received by the Trustee pursuant to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article shall, after payment of the costs and expenses of the proceedings resulting in the collection of such money and of the fees, expenses and advances incurred or made by the Trustee with respect thereto, be deposited in the Bond Fund to be applied as follows:

First: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest (including interest on amounts unpaid when due on the Bonds) then due on the Bonds in the order of the maturity of such installments, and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any installment or installments maturing on the same date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts due thereon to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference;

 

Second: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of the unpaid principal or redemption price of any Bonds which shall have become due (other than Bonds previously called for redemption for the payment of which money is held pursuant to the provisions hereof),

 

-51-


whether at maturity or by call for redemption, in the order of their due dates, and if the amounts available shall not be sufficient to pay in full all the Bonds due on any date, then to the payment thereof ratably, according to the amounts of principal installments or redemption price due on such date, to the persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or preference; and

(n) While the Policy is in effect and while any Reimbursement Obligations are due to the Insurer, the Trustee will furnish the Insurer with such information as it may reasonably request regarding the Bonds, as appears from the books and records under its custody and control, or as otherwise known to it. The Trustee will permit the Insurer to have access to and make copies of all such books and records at any reasonable time.

ARTICLE VIII

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 8.01. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

 

  (i) The Trustee 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; and

 

  (ii) In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which are required by any provision hereof or of the Development Agreement or Operating Agreement, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture or the Development Agreement or the Operating Agreement.

 

(b) In case an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights, powers, duties and obligations vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent corporate indenture trustee would exercise or use under the circumstances.

 

(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct or breach of trust, except that:

 

  (i) this subsection (c) shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;

 

  (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith and without negligence by the chairman or vice chairman of the Board of Directors, the chairman or vice chairman of the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors, the president, any vice president, any assistant vice president, the secretary, any assistant secretary, the treasurer, any assistant treasurer, the cashier, any assistant cashier, any trust officer or assistant trust officer, the controller and any assistant controller or any other officer of the Trustee customarily performing functions similar to those performed by any of the above designated officers or, with respect to a particular matter, any other officer to whom such matter is referred because of his knowledge of and familiarity with the particular subject;

 

-58-


  (iii) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith and without negligence in accordance with the direction of the Owners of the Outstanding Bonds as provided herein relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture; and

 

  (iv) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder (other than the provisions of Sections 3.07 or 7.12 hereof requiring the delivery of notice by the Trustee), or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. The Trustee may, nevertheless, begin suit, or appear in and defend suit, or do anything else in its judgment properly to be done by it as the Trustee, without prior assurance of indemnity, and in such case shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Operator for all reasonable disbursements, including its own fees, and for all liability and damages suffered by the Trustee in connection therewith except for the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith, willful misconduct or breach of trust.

 

  (v) no permissive power, right or remedy conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture, the Development Agreement or Operating Agreement, any agreement assigned to the Trustee or any related document shall be construed to impose a duty to exercise such power, right or remedy.

 

(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture, the Development Agreement or the Operating Agreement, any agreement assigned to the Trustee or any related document relating to the conduct, powers or duties of, or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

(e) Any term of this Indenture, the Development Agreement or the Operating Agreement, any agreement assigned to the Trustee or any related document to the contrary notwithstanding, and notwithstanding an agreement of indemnity, the Trustee shall not be obligated to perform or discharge any obligation of the Corporation, the Operator as a result of the assignment of any agreement to the Trustee. The assignment of any agreement to the Trustee shall not constitute an assumption on the part of the Trustee of any obligation or liability thereunder.

 

Section 8.02. Certain Rights of Trustee.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 8.01:

 

The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties.

 

-59-


(a) Any request or direction of the Corporation or the Operator mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a certificate of an Corporation Representative or a Operator Representative, respectively, and any action of the governing board of the Corporation or the Operator may be sufficiently evidenced by a copy of a resolution certified by the secretary/treasurer or an assistant secretary/treasurer of the Corporation or secretary or assistant secretary of the Operator to have been duly adopted by the board of directors of the Corporation or the Operator and to be in full force and effect on the date of such certification and delivered to the Trustee.

 

(b) Whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon a certificate of a Corporation Representative or a Operator Representative, respectively.

 

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon.

 

(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Bondowners pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Bondowners shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction.

 

(e) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit.

 

(f) The Trustee may engage agents and attorneys to assist it in executing any of the trusts or powers hereunder or performing any duties hereunder.

 

Section 8.03. Employment of Experts.

 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to employ as its agents such attorneys at law, certified public accountants and recognized authorities in their fields (who are not employees of the Trustee), as it reasonably may deem necessary to assist it to carry out any of its obligations hereunder, and shall be reimbursed by the Operator for all reasonable expenses and charges in so doing.

 

Section 8.04. Enforcement of Performance by Others.

 

Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, it shall not be the duty of the Trustee to see that any duties and obligations herein imposed upon the Corporation or the Operator are performed.

 

-60-


Section 8.05. Right to Deal in Bonds and Take Other Actions.

 

The Trustee may in good faith buy, sell or hold and deal in any Bonds with like effect as if it were not such Trustee and may commence or join in any action which an Owner is entitled to take with like effect as if the Trustee were not the Trustee. It is understood and agreed that the Trustee engages in a general banking business and no provision hereof or of the Development Agreement or Operating Agreement is to be construed to limit or restrict the right of the Trustee to engage in such business with the Corporation, the Operator, or any Owner. So engaging in such business shall not, in and of itself, and so long as the Trustee duly performs all of its duties as required hereby and by the Development Agreement or Operating Agreement, constitute a breach of trust on the part of the Trustee, but neither shall engaging in such business abrogate, alter or diminish any duty or obligation of the Trustee as trustee hereunder.

 

Section 8.06. Removal and Resignation of the Trustee.

 

The Trustee may resign at any time. The Trustee may be removed at any time, for any breach of the Trust set forth herein. The Trustee may also be removed at any time either by one or more instruments in writing signed by the Owners of not less than a majority in principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding, or, if no Event of Default or event which, with the giving of notice or the passage of time, or both, would become an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and if no direction to the contrary is received from the Owners of a majority in principal amount of Bonds Outstanding, by an instrument in writing signed by the Corporation and consented to by the Insurer. The Trustee may be removed at any time by the Insurer. Written notice of the Trustee’s resignation or removal shall be given by the Trustee to the Corporation, the Insurer and the Operator, and such resignation or removal shall take effect only upon the appointment and qualification of a successor Trustee acceptable to the Insurer. In the event a successor Trustee has not been appointed and qualified within 60 days of the date notice of resignation or removal is given, the Trustee, the Corporation, the Insurer or the Operator may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee to act until such time as a successor is appointed as provided in this Section. Each successor Trustee must be acceptable to the Insurer.

 

In the event of the resignation or removal of the Trustee or in the event the Trustee is dissolved or otherwise becomes incapable to act as the Trustee, the Insurer or the Corporation shall be entitled to appoint a successor Trustee. If the Owners of a majority of the principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding object to the successor Trustee so appointed and if such Owners designate another person qualified to act as the Trustee, the Corporation shall then appoint as the Trustee the person so designated by the Owners so long as such person is acceptable to the Insurer.

 

Unless otherwise ordered by a court or regulatory body having competent jurisdiction, or unless required by law, any successor Trustee shall be a trust company or bank having the powers of a trust company as to trusts, qualified to fulfill the obligations of the Trustee under this Indenture and having an officially reported combined capital, surplus, undivided profits and reserves aggregating at least $75,000,000, if there is such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary terms.

 

-61-


Every successor Trustee howsoever appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Corporation and the Operator, an instrument in writing, accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor Trustee, without further action, shall become fully vested with all the rights, immunities, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor, and such predecessor shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, power and trusts of such predecessor, subject to the terms and conditions herein set forth, including, without limitation, the right of the predecessor Trustee to be paid and reimbursed in full for its reasonable charges and expenses (including reasonable costs and fees of its counsel) and to indemnification under Section 12 of the Operating Agreement. The predecessor Trustee shall execute any and all documents necessary or appropriate to convey all interest it may have to the successor Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall promptly deliver all records relating to the trust or copies thereof and communicate all material information it may have obtained concerning the trust to the successor Trustee.

 

Each successor Trustee, not later than ten days after its assumption of the duties hereunder, shall mail a notice of such assumption to each Owner of a Bond.

 

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture to the contrary, no removal, resignation or termination of the Trustee shall take effect until a successor acceptable to the Insurer, shall be appointed.

 

Section 8.07. Continuation Statements; Proof of Claim.

 

Within the period beginning six months prior to and ending ninety days prior to the expiration of five years after the initial UCC-1 filings made pursuant to this Indenture, and within six months prior to but in no event less than ninety days prior to the expiration of each five year period thereafter until this Indenture is discharged, the Trustee will cause to be filed with the Texas Secretary of State and Delaware Secretary of State continuation statements to continue the perfection (to the extent that such perfection can be accomplished under applicable law by filing) of the security interest granted under this Indenture and granted to the Trustee by the Operator and Developer. To the extent the Trustee is required to file any instrument, the Trustee shall be entitled to retain counsel and shall be entitled to reimbursement of Trustee Fees and Expenses pursuant to Section 8.03 and 8.08 hereof.

 

With the consent of or at the direction of the Insurer, the Trustee shall have the right and power to take actions in the name and place of the Corporation or Owners to make proof of claim in any proceeding, bankruptcy, reorganization or otherwise where proof of claim may be required. Any amount recovered as a result of any such claim, after payment of all fees (including reasonable attorneys fees), costs, expenses and advances incurred by the Trustee or its agents in pursuing such claim, shall be for the equal benefit of all of the Owners.

 

Section 8.08. Trustee Fees and Expenses.

 

The Trustee shall be entitled to be paid, pursuant to the priority set forth in Section 5.04 hereof, from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation

 

-62-


of a trustee of an express trust); to reimbursement upon request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and its agents and the Independent Contract Monitor and the Independent Construction Monitor), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith or willful misconduct or breach of trust; and the Trustee, and its directors, officers, employees and agents, shall be entitled to be indemnified for, to the extent permitted by State law, from and against any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers, trusts, obligations or duties hereunder; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be liable for any such amounts so payable except to the extent the same can be paid or recovered from funds paid or payable pursuant to the Operating Agreement and assigned to or payable to the Trustee. The Trustee’s rights to compensation, reimbursement and indemnity for services provided and events occurring while serving as Trustee hereunder shall survive and continue notwithstanding the subsequent resignation or removal of the Trustee or discharge of the Indenture.

 

Any provision hereof to the contrary notwithstanding,    , the Trustee may reimburse itself pursuant to the priority specified in Section 5.04 hereof, from any money on hand in any fund or account created pursuant hereto, provided that no money in the Principal Account, the Redemption Account or the Interest Account may be so applied.

-63-


The Trustee makes no representation as to, and is not responsible for, the validity or sufficiency hereof, of the Bonds, or the validity or sufficiency of insurance to be provided or, except as herein required, the filing or recording or registering of any document. The Trustee shall be deemed not to have made representations as to the security afforded hereby or hereunder or as to the validity or sufficiency of such document. The Trustee shall not be concerned with or accountable to anyone for the use or application of any money which shall be released or withdrawn in accordance with the provisions hereof. The Trustee shall have no duty of inquiry with respect to any default or Events of Default described herein without actual knowledge of or receipt by the Trustee of written notice of a default or an Event of Default from the Corporation, the Operator or any Owner.

(b) Each co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be appointed subject to the following terms:

 

  (i) The rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon any such trustee shall not be greater than those conferred or imposed upon the Trustee, and such rights and powers shall be exercisable only jointly with the Trustee, except to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights and powers shall be exercised by such co-trustee subject to the provisions of clause (iv) below.

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

 

Section 10.01. Discharge.

 

If payment of all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the Bonds in accordance with their terms and as provided herein is made, or is provided for in accordance with this Article, and if all other sums, if any, payable by the Corporation hereunder, including all Reimbursement Obligations, shall be paid, then the liens, estates and security interests granted hereby shall cease. Upon all conditions precedent to the satisfaction and discharge of the lien hereof have been satisfied, the Trustee shall execute and deliver proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction and discharging the lien hereof and the Trustee shall transfer all property held by it hereunder, other than money or obligations held by the Trustee for payment of amounts due or to become due on the Bonds, to the Operator or such other person as may be entitled thereto as their respective interests may appear. Such satisfaction and discharge shall be without prejudice to the rights of the Trustee thereafter to charge and be compensated or reimbursed for services rendered and expenditures incurred in connection herewith.

 

The Corporation or the Operator may at any time surrender to the Trustee for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated and delivered which the Corporation or the Operator may have acquired in any manner whatsoever and such Bonds upon such surrender and cancellation shall be deemed to be paid and retired.

 

-68-


Section 10.02. Providing for Payment of Bonds.

 

Provided that all Reimbursement Obligations are paid in full and all other amounts due hereunder are paid, as provided in Section 10.1, payment of all or any part of the Bonds in Authorized Denominations may be provided for by the deposit with the Trustee of money or Government Obligations which are not redeemable in advance of their maturity dates, or which are redeemable in advance of their maturity dates only at the option of the Owner thereof, or both. The money and the maturing principal and interest income on such Government Obligations, if any, shall be sufficient, as evidenced by a certificate or verification letter, in either case in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer of an independent certified public accountant or firm of such accountants acceptable to the Trustee and the Insurer, to pay when due the principal or redemption price of and interest on such Bonds. The money and Government Obligations shall be held by the Trustee irrevocably in trust for the Owners of such Bonds solely for the purpose of paying the principal and interest on such Bonds as the same shall mature, and, if applicable, upon simultaneous direction, expressed to be irrevocable, to the Trustee as to the dates upon which any such Bonds are to be redeemed prior to their respective maturities as provided in Section 3.03 hereof.

 

If payment of Bonds is so provided for, the Trustee shall mail a notice so stating to each Owner of a Bond so provided for, which notice shall also describe the rights retained and reserved pursuant to Section 10.04.

 

Bonds the payment of which has been provided for in accordance with this Section shall no longer be deemed Outstanding hereunder or secured hereby. The obligation of the Corporation in respect of such Bonds shall nevertheless continue but the Owners thereof shall thereafter be entitled to payment only from the money or Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee to provide for the payment of such Bonds.

 

No Bond may be refunded or defeased unless an opinion of counsel in form and substance acceptable to the Insurer is provided to Trustee and Insurer stating that (A) any escrow deposit will not constitute a voidable preference or transfer under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar state or federal statute in the event the Corporation or the Operator becomes a debtor within the meaning of the Federal Bankruptcy Code or comes within the protection of such similar state or federal statute (“Insolvency Event”), and (B) in such Insolvency Event, any escrow deposit will not be treated as part of the estate of the Corporation.

 

Section 10.03. Provisions to Survive After Discharge.

 

Notwithstanding the discharge of the lien hereof as in this Article provided, the Trustee shall nevertheless retain such rights, powers, trusts, obligations and duties hereunder as may be necessary and convenient for the payment of amounts due or to become due on the Bonds and the registration, transfer, exchange and replacement of Bonds as provided herein.

 

Notwithstanding the payment in full of the Bonds, the discharge of the Indenture, and the termination or expiration of the Development Agreement and Operating Agreement, all provisions in this Indenture concerning (a) the interpretation of this Indenture, (b) the governing law, (c) the forum for resolving disputes, (d) the Corporation’s right to rely on facts or
