(C) shall provide that if monies are on deposit in the Bond Fund, on or before any interest payment date or any redemption date, sufficient to pay the interest on the Bonds due on such interest payment date or the redemption price of any Bonds called for redemption on such redemption date, as the case may be, then the failure of the holder of any such Bonds to receive in a timely manner any payment due such holder on such interest payment date or redemption date, as the case may be, because of a mistake, delay or other failure in the implementation of the method of payment prescribed by such holder in such agreement shall not constitute a default hereunder, provided such mistake, delay or other failure is not due to the negligence of the Issuer.

(d) The initial sale and delivery of the 2002 Bonds to the purchasers thereof shall be subject to satisfaction of following conditions on or prior to the Closing Date:

(i) A final judgment of validation with respect to the 2002 Bonds shall have been rendered by the Superior Court of Fulton County as provided by the Act.

(ii) There shall have been filed with the Issuer a request and authorization to the Issuer on behalf of the Lessee and signed by an Authorized Lessee Representative to

(iii) The Issuer shall have received the unqualified approving opinion of Alston & Bird LLP, Atlanta, Georgia, addressed to the Issuer, the Trustee and the Lessee, as to the legality of the 2002 Bonds and the proceedings of the Issuer and the issuance thereof.

(iv) The Issuer and Bond Counsel shall have received the unqualified approving opinion of Nelson, Mullins, Riley & Scarborough, LLP, Atlanta, Georgia, as counsel to the Issuer, addressed to the Issuer, the Trustee, the Lessee, the Purchaser and Bond Counsel, as to the legality and binding effect on the Issuer of this Indenture and the Lease.

Section 2.03 Execution; Limited Obligation. The 2002 Bonds shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman or Vice-Chairman, and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Secretary or Assistant Secretary, and shall have impressed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon the corporate seal of the Issuer. Any such facsimiles shall have the same force and effect as if manually signed. In case any officer whose signature shall appear on the 2002 Bonds shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such 2002 Bonds, such signature or other facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all purposes, the same as if such officer had remained in office until such delivery.

THE 2002 BONDS ISSUED PURSUANT TO THIS INDENTURE SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO CONSTITUTE A DEBT OF THE COUNTY, THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, OR A PLEDGE OF THE FAITH AND CREDIT OF THE COUNTY, THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, BUT SUCH 2002 BONDS SHALL BE LIMITED OBLIGATIONS OF THE ISSUER PAYABLE SOLELY FROM THE BOND FUND PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, AND THE ISSUANCE OF THE 2002 BONDS SHALL NOT DIRECTLY, INDIRECTLY, OR CONTINGENTLY OBLIGATE THE COUNTY, THE STATE OF GEORGIA OR ANY OTHER POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, TO LEVY OR TO PLEDGE ANY FORM OF TAXATION WHATEVER THEREFOR OR TO MAKE ANY APPROPRIATION FOR THE PAYMENT THEREFOR; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, FUNDS FOR THE PAYMENT OF THE 2002 BONDS MAY BE RECEIVED FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE DECLARED BY THE ACT TO BE AVAILABLE AND MAY BE USED FOR THE LESSEE’S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE LEASE. THE ISSUER HAS NO TAXING POWER.

Section 2.04 Authentication. No 2002 Bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Indenture unless and until a certificate of authentication on such 2002 Bond substantially in the form set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto shall have been duly executed by the Authenticating Agent, and such executed certificate of the Authenticating Agent upon any such 2002 Bond shall be conclusive evidence that such 2002

 

16


Bond has been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. The Authenticating Agent’s certificate of authentication on any 2002 Bond shall be deemed to have been executed by the Authenticating Agent if signed by an authorized signatory of the Authenticating Agent, but it shall not be necessary that the same officer execute the certificate of authentication on all of the 2002 Bonds.

Section 2.05 Form of Bonds. The 2002 Bonds shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto, each 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, consistent herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Bonds. The definitive Bonds shall have endorsed thereon, until such time as the

Authenticating Agent shall have been advised in writing to the contrary, as hereinafter provided, a legend or text in substantially the following form:

TRANSFER RESTRICTED

THIS BOND HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR JURISDICTION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED WITHOUT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL ACCEPTABLE TO THE ISSUER, THE TRUSTEE AND THE LESSEE OF THE PROJECT REFERRED TO IN THIS BOND TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT VIOLATE APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS.

At such time as the Authenticating Agent is advised in writing by Counsel for the Lessee or the Issuer that such a legend is no longer required, the Authenticating Agent, on presentation of any Bond, will strike through the legend and execute a certificate to the effect that the legend has been removed by the Authenticating Agent with the consent of the Issuer and the Lessee or shall issue a new Bond or Bonds of authorized denomination or denominations without such legend.

Section 2.06 Mutilated, Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Bonds. If any 2002 Bond is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Issuer may execute and deliver a new 2002 Bond of like maturity and tenor in lieu of and in substitution for the 2002 Bond mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed; provided that, in the case of any mutilated 2002 Bond, such mutilated 2002 Bond shall first be surrendered to the Bond Registrar, and in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed 2002 Bond, there shall be first furnished to the Bond Registrar evidence satisfactory to the Bond Registrar of the ownership of such 2002 Bond and of such loss, theft or destruction, together with indemnity satisfactory to it, the Lessee and the Issuer; provided that if the holder thereof is an Affiliate of the Lessee, such indemnity may take the form of an unsecured promise or indemnity by such holder. If any such 2002 Bond shall have matured or a redemption date pertaining thereto shall have passed, instead of issuing a new 2002 Bond, the Issuer may pay the same. The Issuer may charge the holder or owner of such 2002 Bond with its and the Bond Registrar’s reasonable fees and expenses in this connection.

 

17


Section 2.07 Registration and Exchange of Bonds. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond at the Payment Office of the Bond Registrar, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Bond Registrar and duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney duly authorized in writing, the Issuer shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new fully registered 2002 Bond or 2002 Bonds of the same series and same maturity for a like aggregate principal amount. 2002 Bonds may be exchanged at said office of the Bond Registrar for a like aggregate principal amount of 2002 Bonds of the same series and same maturity for a like aggregate principal amount. The Issuer shall execute and the Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver 2002 Bonds bearing numbers not contemporaneously then outstanding. The execution by the Issuer of any 2002 Bond of any denomination shall constitute full and due authorization of such denomination and the Authenticating Agent shall thereby be authorized to authenticate and deliver such 2002 Bond. The Issuer shall cause books for the registration and for the registration of transfer of the 2002 Bonds as provided in this Indenture to be kept by the Bond Registrar. The Bond Registrar shall not be required to register the transfer of or exchange any 2002 Bond during the period of fifteen days next preceding any interest payment date of the 2002 Bonds nor to register the transfer of or exchange any 2002 Bond after the mailing of notice calling any 2002 Bond for redemption has been made, nor during the period of fifteen days next preceding mailing of a notice of redemption of any 2002 Bonds. Prior to delivering any 2002 Bonds hereunder, the Issuer shall cause the validation certificate thereon to be appropriately executed.

As to any 2002 Bond, the Person in whose name such 2002 Bond shall be registered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes, and payment of or on account of either principal of or interest on any 2002 Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner thereof or his legal representative, but such registration may be changed as hereinabove provided. All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability upon such 2002 Bond to the extent of the sum or sums so paid.

The cost of any services rendered or other expenses incurred by the Bond Registrar in connection with any exchange or registration of transfer shall be treated in the arrangement for services between the Issuer and the Bond Registrar as Ordinary Services or Ordinary Expenses of the Bond Registrar, and shall be reimbursed as such pursuant to the provisions in the Lease.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case any Bond to be exchanged bears the restrictive legend described in Section 205 hereof, no registration of transfer thereof shall be effected unless there shall have been delivered to the Trustee the legal opinion described in such legend or a legal opinion to the effect that such legend is no longer required as described in Section 205 hereof.

In the event that any Bondholder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Trustee, the Trustee may make a charge against such holder sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Code, this amount may be deducted by the Trustee from amounts payable to the Bondholder.

 

18


On or after the delivery to the Trustee of the Completion Certificate, any holder of a 2002 Bond bearing a stated principal amount in excess of the Principal Amount of said Bond, may surrender such Bond to the Trustee in exchange of a new 2002 Bond having a stated principal amount equal to the Principal Amount of the Bond surrendered.

Section 2.08 Issuance of Additional Bonds.

(a) Subject to the requirements of applicable law, so long as the Lease is in effect and the Lessee shall not be in default thereunder, one or more series of Additional Bonds may be authorized by resolution of the Issuer and thereupon issued and delivered for the purposes and under the conditions stated in this Section and in Section 4.2 of the Lease and upon compliance with the provisions of this Section and Section 4.2 of the Lease. Any such Additional Bonds shall rank pari passu with the 2002 Bonds as to the security for the payment thereof and interest thereon.

(c) Additional Bonds may be in such denomination or denominations, shall bear interest payable at such intervals, on such dates in each year, at such rate or rates, shall mature on such dates in such amounts and years, and shall be in such form and may contain such provisions for redemption prior to maturity, all as may be provided in the resolution under which such Bonds are issued.

(d) The proceeds from the issuance of any Additional Bonds shall be used solely for the payment or reimbursement of the costs (including the costs of issuing such bonds, legal fees and other related costs) for the purposes described in subsection (b) of this Section.

(5) An opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that this Indenture, as supplemented, creates a valid lien on and pledge of the revenues thereby conveyed and pledged, and all filings and/or recordings of any document required in order to perfect and preserve such lien and pledge have been duly accomplished. The Trustee may rely on such opinion as to the sufficiency and filing of the Financing Statements referred to in (4) above;

(6) An opinion of Bond Counsel to the effect that (i) the issuance of such Additional Bonds has been duly authorized and the terms thereof comply with the requirements of this Indenture and the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia; (ii) all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of such Additional Bonds have been satisfied; (iii) upon the issuance of such Additional Bonds, they shall be valid and binding obligations of the Issuer entitled to the benefits of and secured by this Indenture; and (iv) such other matters as may be reasonably required by the Issuer or the Trustee; and

(7) A written request and authorization to the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman and Secretary of the Issuer to authenticate and deliver such Additional Bonds to the purchaser or purchasers therein identified upon payment to the Trustee, but for the account of the Issuer, of the sum specified in such request and authorization plus accrued interest on such Additional Bonds to the date of delivery thereof.

The proceeds of such Additional Bonds shall be deposited with the Trustee and held and disbursed by the Trustee as provided in the supplemental indenture providing for the issuance of such Additional Bonds.

(f) The Issuer shall assign and pledge such separate or supplemental Lease and all revenues derived or to be derived therefrom as security for the payment of the Outstanding Bonds, including the Additional Bonds.

(g) Any subsequent proceedings authorizing the issuance of Additional Bonds, including any supplemental indenture as provided in this Section, shall not conflict with the terms and provisions of this Indenture but shall, for all legal purposes, ratify and reaffirm all the applicable covenants, agreements and provisions of this Indenture for the equal protection and benefit of all Bondholders.

 

20


(h) The Additional Bonds and the security therefor shall be validated in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia.

Section 2.09 Payment of 2002 Bonds in Installments. Under the Bond Purchase Agreement, the Purchaser is required to make certain installment payments with respect to the Bonds. The 2002 Bonds shall be initially issued as one Bond in the principal amount of $40,000,000, provided that such principal amount may be reduced based on the aggregate total amount of any and all installment payments made by the Purchaser in consideration of the sale of such Bonds under and pursuant to the Bond Purchase Agreement during the Purchase Period. If the Trustee is holding the Bond, the Trustee agrees that upon an installment payment under the Bond Purchase Agreement it will endorse in the space provided on the table attached to such Bond, the amount and date of each such installment payment.

REVENUES AND FUNDS

Section 5.01 SOURCE OF PAYMENT OF BONDS.

(a) No right or remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the holders of the Bonds is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but each and every such right and remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to any other right or remedy given to the Bondholders or now or hereafter existing at law, in equity, or by statute.

 

32


(b) No delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default hereunder shall impair any such right or remedy or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every such right and remedy may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.

First—To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto of all installments of interest then due on the Bonds (other than installments of interest on Bonds with respect to the payment of which monies or securities are set aside in the respective Bond Fund), in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full any particular installment, then to the payment ratably, according to the amounts due on such installment, to the Persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination or privilege; and

(ii) If the principal of all the Bonds shall have become due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such monies shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest then due and unpaid upon the Bonds (other than principal of and interest on Bonds with respect to the payment of which monies or securities are set aside in the Bond Fund), without preference or priority of principal and interest one over the other, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Bond over any other Bond, ratably, according to the amounts due respectively for principal and interest, to the Persons entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege.

34


such action, the lien or charge hereof on any part of the Trust Estate shall be materially endangered or the Project or the revenue therefrom or any part thereof shall be subject to loss or forfeiture.

If, within sixty (60) days, or such longer period as shall be prescribed by the Issuer, following the mailing of such notice, the holders of not less than two-thirds (2/3) in principal amount of the Bonds shall have consented to and approved the execution of such supplemental indenture as herein provided, no holder of any Bond shall have the right to object to any of the terms and provisions contained therein, or the operation thereof, or in any manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or restrain the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any action pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the execution of any such supplemental indenture as in this Section permitted and provided, this Indenture shall be modified and amended in accordance therewith.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, a supplemental indenture under this Article XI shall not become effective unless and until the Lessee shall have consented to the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture. In this regard, the Trustee shall cause notice of the proposed execution and delivery of any such supplemental indenture together with a copy of the proposed supplemental indenture to be delivered to the Lessee at least fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed date of execution of any such supplemental indenture.

Section 11.03 Execution of Supplemental Indentures. As a condition to executing any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article XI, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall be fully protected in relying on, an opinion of Counsel stating that the supplemental indenture is authorized and permitted by this Indenture and all conditions precedent to the execution thereof have been satisfied. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties, or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

ARTICLE XIII

THE TRUSTEE

Section 13.01 Acceptance of the Trusts. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed upon it by this Indenture, 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. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default and prior to the curing of all Events of Default, 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 but shall be answerable for the conduct of the same in accordance with the standard specified above, 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 Lessee), 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, 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; but the Trustee may require of the Issuer or the Lessee full information and advice as to the performance of the covenants, agreements and conditions aforesaid and as to the condition of the Trust Estate.

 

39


(d) Except to the extent herein specifically provided, the Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any of the Bond proceeds. The Trustee may become the owner of Bonds with the same rights which it would have if it were not Trustee.

(e) The Trustee shall be 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 rely upon a certificate signed on behalf of the Issuer by the Chairman or Vice Chairman 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) Except as expressly provided otherwise herein, any discretionary rights conferred upon the Trustee shall not be construed as imposing upon the Trustee an affirmative duty or obligation to act or abstain from acting, and the Trustee shall not be answerable for such other than its gross negligence or willful default.

(h) The Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default or Event of Default hereunder or under the Lease except failure by the Issuer to cause to be made any of the payments to the Trustee required to be made by Section 501 hereof and failure by the Lessee to make the rental and other payments required to be made under Article V of the Lease and except with respect to any default under Section 10.1 of the Lease written notice as to which has been given to the Trustee, unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Event of Default by the Issuer or by the owners of at least twenty-five percent (25%) in principal amount of the Bonds. 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 corporate trust office of the Trustee, and in the absence of such notice so delivered the Trustee may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default except as aforesaid.

 

40


(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 Lessee, and accompanied by an official of the Lessee, shall have the right, but no duty, 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.

(l) 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, 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 the authentication of any Bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee.

(m) Before taking any remedial action hereunder following an Event of Default, the Trustee may request an opinion of Counsel or 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, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence or willful default 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 financial liability 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 Trustee 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 Trustee shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon under a separate written agreement.

(o) 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 rely upon a certificate signed on behalf of the Lessee by an Authorized Lessee Representative as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained, and prior to the occurrence of an Event of 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 of the Lessee

 

41


under its seal to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the Lessee as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is in full force and effect.

(p) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture other than the application of moneys received for deposit into the Funds and Accounts hereunder and the payment of debt service on the Bonds from moneys in the Bond Fund, whether at the request or direction of any of the Bondholders pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise, unless the Bondowners shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity acceptable to it against the fees, advances, costs, expenses and liabilities (except as may result from the Trustee’s own gross negligence or willful misconduct) which might be incurred by it in connection with such rights or powers, including, without limitation, in connection with environmental contamination and the cleanup thereof.

(q) The Trustee may elect not to proceed in accordance with the directions of the Bondholders (except any direction provided pursuant to Section 1002 and 1003 hereof) without incurring any liability to the Bondholders if the Trustee reasonable determines that such direction would materially and adversely subject the Trustee in its individual capacity to environmental or other liability for which the Trustee has not received indemnity pursuant to this Section from the Bondholders, and the Trustee may rely upon an opinion of Counsel addressed to the Issuer and the Trustee in determining whether any action directed by Bondholders may result in such liability.

(r) The Trustee may inform the Bondholders of environmental hazards that the Trustee has reason to believe exist, and the Trustee has the right to take no further action and, in such event no fiduciary duty exists which imposes any obligation for further action, with respect to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof if the Trustee, in its individual capacity, determines that any such action would materially and adversely subject the Trustee to environmental or other liability to which the Trustee has not received indemnity pursuant to this Section.

Section 13.02 Notice to Owners of Bonds If Event of Default Occurs. If an Event of Default occurs of which the Trustee is by subsection (h) of Section 1301 hereof required to take notice then the Trustee shall give written notice thereof by certified or registered mail to the registered owners of Bonds, and, as to Events of Default described in Section 1001(c) hereof, to the Issuer and the registered owners of Bonds by certified or registered mail.

Section 13.03 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, the Trustee shall give the Bondholders written notice thereof and shall intervene on behalf of the owners of the Bonds if so requested in writing by the owners of at least a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding. The rights and obligations of the Trustee under this Section are subject to the approval of a court of competent jurisdiction.

Section 13.04 Successor Trustee. Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its corporate trust business or assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any

 

42


corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, merger, consolidation, sale or transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all of the title to the Trust Estate and all the trusts, powers, discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

Section 13.05 Resignation by the Trustee. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Issuer and the Lessee and by first class mail to each registered owner of Bonds, and such resignation shall take effect on the later to occur of (i) the end of such sixty (60) day period, or (ii) the appointment of a successor Trustee by the owners of the Bonds or by the Issuer. Such notice to the Issuer may be served personally or sent by registered or certified mail.

Section 13.06 Removal of the Trustee. The Trustee may be removed at any time, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee and to the Issuer, and signed by either (i) the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding or (ii) the Lessee, so long as no event of default exists under Section 10.1 of the Lease.

Section 13.07 Appointment of Successor Trustee; Temporary Trustee. If the Trustee hereunder shall resign, be removed, be dissolved, be in course of dissolution or liquidation, or shall otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer, officers or a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed by (i) the Lessee, unless an event of default exists under Section 10.1 of the Lease, or (ii) the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by the Lessee or such owners, or by their attorneys in fact, as the case may be, duly authorized; provided, nevertheless, that in case of such vacancy the Issuer by an instrument signed by the Chairman or Vice Chairman of the Issuer and attested by the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer under its seal, may appoint a temporary Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the Lessee or the owners of the Bonds in the manner above provided; and any such temporary Trustee shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Trustee so appointed by the Lessee or the owners of the Bonds. 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 individually or together with its banking Affiliates 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 13.08 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

 

43


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 shall have been filed and/or recorded.

Section 13.09 Right of Trustee to Pay Taxes and Other Charges. If any tax, assessment or governmental or other charge upon any part of the Trust Estate or the Project is not paid as required herein, the Trustee may pay such tax, assessment or charge, without prejudice, however, to any rights of the Trustee or the owners of the Bonds hereunder arising in consequence of such failure; and any amount at any time so paid under this Section, with interest thereon from the date of payment at the rate per annum borne by the Bonds, shall become so much additional indebtedness secured by this Indenture, and the same shall be given a preference in payment over the principal of and interest on the Bonds and shall be paid out of the revenues and receipts from the Trust Estate, if not otherwise caused to be paid; but the Trustee shall not be under obligation to and shall not make any such payment unless it shall have been requested to do so by the owners of a majority in principal amount of the Bonds and shall have been provided with sufficient moneys for the purpose of making such payment.

Section 13.10 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 13.11 Successor Trustee as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Bond Registrar. In the event of a change in the office of Trustee, the predecessor Trustee which has resigned or has been removed shall cease to be the owner of the Project Fund and Bond Fund and shall cease serving as Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and Bond Registrar, to the extent the Trustee was at such time serving in one or more of such capacities, and the successor Trustee shall become automatically such owner and such Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent, and Bond Registrar, to the extent the Trustee was at such time serving in one or more of such capacities.

Section 13.12 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 occurrence of a Default, it may be necessary that the Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate Trustee or Co-Trustee. The following provisions of this Section 1312 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 take any other action which may be necessary or desirable in connection therewith, the Issuer with the consent of the Lessee may appoint a

 

44


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 by the Trustee 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.

Section 13.13 Continuation Statements. The Trustee shall file continuation statements for the purpose of continuing without lapse the effectiveness of (i) those Financing Statements which shall have been filed at or prior to the issuance of the Bonds in connection with the security for the Bonds pursuant to the authority of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code, and (ii) any previously filed continuation statements which shall have been filed as herein required. The Issuer agrees to sign such continuation statements as may be requested of it from time to time by the Lessee or the Trustee.

ARTICLE XIV

This immunity shall not apply to gross negligence, intentional misconduct or acts or omissions taken or suffered in bad faith.

 

45

[REVERSE SIDE OF BOND, IF PRINTED]

This Bond is one of an authorized issue of 2002 Bonds issued in the initial notational principal amount of $40,000,000 provided that interest on this Bond shall be calculated on the sum of the installment bond payments as reflected on the “Table of Installment Bond Payments” attached hereto, less the principal amount of partial redemptions made with respect to this Bond as reflected on the “Table of Partial Redemptions” attached hereto. The 2002 Bonds are being issued under and secured by a Trust Indenture, dated as of December 1, 2002, between the Issuer and the Trustee (as amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, collectively, the “Indenture”). The 2002 Bonds and any Additional Bonds issued under the terms of the Indenture are herein called the “Bonds”. The Bonds shall mature on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Indenture). Otherwise, the Bonds are of like tenor except as to number, series designation, interest rate, stated maturity and amounts. The Bonds are issued by the Issuer for the purpose of paying, in whole or in part, the costs relating to the acquisition, construction and equipping of certain facilities located in Fulton County, Georgia and facilities related thereto, all for use by and for the benefit of ADESA Atlanta, LLC and its successors and assigns (the “Lessee”) which facilities, as more particularly defined in the hereinafter defined Lease, shall be referred to hereinafter collectively as the “Project”, and have been leased to the Lessee, pursuant to, in compliance with, and in the execution of the powers and authority therefor provided by the Act.

This Bond is issued under the Indenture and pursuant to the Constitution and laws of the State of Georgia, including particularly the Act. Prior to the issuance hereof, the Issuer entered into a Lease Agreement, dated as of December 1, 2002 (as amended and supplemented from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof, the “Lease”), between the Issuer and the Lessee, pursuant to the terms of which the Lessee must pay to the Issuer rental payments which are committed and will be fully sufficient to pay the principal of and the interest on the Bonds as the same become due. Under the terms of the Lease, and except as provided in the Lease, it is the obligation of the Lessee to pay the cost of maintaining the Project in good repair, to keep it properly insured, and to pay all taxes, levies or other charges assessed against or with respect to the Project. As security for the payment of the Bonds, all right, title and interest of the Issuer in the rents, payments, revenues and earnings to be received under the terms of the Lease (excepting only certain Unassigned Rights (as defined in the Lease) generally relating to indemnification payments and payments to the Issuer for its fees and certain expenses incurred in connection therewith or otherwise arising out of or in connection with the Issuer’s interest in the Project) and all payments to be received under the terms of the Bond Purchase Agreement have been assigned and pledged for the benefit of the holders of the Bonds.

No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or interest on this Bond against any officer or member of the Issuer. This Bond and the redemption premium, if any, and interest hereon shall not be deemed to constitute a debt of Fulton County, the State of Georgia, or any other political subdivision thereof, or a pledge of the faith and credit of Fulton County, of the State of Georgia, or of any other political subdivision thereof, but shall constitute a limited obligation of the Issuer and be payable solely from the Bond Fund provided for under the terms of the Indenture. The issuance of this Bond shall not directly, indirectly or contingently obligate Fulton County, the State of Georgia, or any other political subdivision, to levy or pledge any form of taxation whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for the payment hereof. This

 

A-6


Bond is payable solely from the rents and other payments to be received under the terms of the Lease and any other rents, revenues and earnings arising out of or in connection with the Issuer’s interest in the Project.

The rental payments for the Lessee’s use of the Project will be sufficient to pay when due the principal of and the interest on the Bonds. It is provided in the Indenture that the Issuer may hereafter issue Additional Bonds from time to time under certain terms and conditions, and, if issued, such additional bonds will rank pari passu with this Bond as to the lien on the revenues to be derived by the Issuer in connection with the Project. Reference to the Indenture is hereby made for a description of the aforesaid Bond Fund, the nature and extent of the security, rights, duties and obligations of the Issuer, the Lessee, the Paying Agent, the Bond Registrar, the Authenticating Agent, and the Trustee, the rights of the holders of the Bonds, the issuance of Additional Bonds, the terms and conditions under and upon the occurrence of which the Indenture and the Lease may be modified, and the terms and conditions under and upon the occurrence of which the lien of the Indenture may be defeased as to this Bond prior to the maturity or redemption date hereof, to all of the provisions of which the holder hereof, by the acceptance of this Bond, assents.

The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to their stated maturity in accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture.

When Bonds are called for redemption as aforesaid, notice thereof identifying the Bonds to be redeemed shall be given by mailing a copy of the redemption notice by first class mail to the registered owner of each such Bond to be redeemed at the address shown on the registration books at least five (5) days but no more than sixty (60) days prior to the redemption date; provided, however, that failure to mail any such notice to any such registered owners shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Bonds. All Bonds called for redemption shall cease to bear interest on the specified redemption date provided sufficient monies for their redemption are on deposit at the designated place of payment at that time, and such Bonds shall no longer be secured by the lien of the Indenture and shall not be deemed to be outstanding under the provisions of the Indenture.

The transfer of this Bond is registerable by the registered holder hereof in person or by his attorney duly authorized in writing at the principal office of the Bond Registrar, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations, and upon payment of the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of this Bond. Upon such registration of transfer a new Bond or Bonds of the same series and the same maturity for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor. The Issuer, the Trustee, the Bond Registrar and any Paying Agent may deem and treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Bond shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of principal hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the Issuer nor the Bond Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

This Bond is issued with the intent that the laws of the State of Georgia shall govern its construction. Under the terms of the aforesaid Act creating the Issuer and the other laws of the State of Georgia, the interest on this Bond is exempt from present state income taxation within the State of Georgia.

 

A-7


In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner, and with the effect set forth in the Indenture, the principal of all of the Bonds may become or may be declared due and payable before the stated maturity thereof, together with interest accrued thereon. Modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of any supplements thereto, may be made to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture.
