defined in this Indenture):
A. The State, acting through the
Department of Transportation, is the owner of certain land,
buildings and improvements thereon known as Bradley International

adjacent to the terminal complex at the Airport;
B. The State previously has entered
into the Indenture of Trust, dated as of October 1, 1982, as
amended, with the trustee named therein (the “Bradley Airport

C. By virtue of the authority of the
laws of the State, particularly C.G.S. Chapter 266a et seq.,

(“ABPC”), which has agreed to construct and operate the
Garage and to provide for the payment of certain amounts
thereunder, and the State has determined to issue and sell one or
more series of its Bradley International Airport Special Obligation

with the Series 2000 A Bonds, the “Series 2000
Bonds”), which Series 2000 Bonds shall be substantially
in the forms set forth in the First Supplemental
Indenture;
F. To secure the payment of Debt
Service on the Series 2000 Bonds and certain other payments
due and payable by ABPC to the State under the Lease,
APCOA/Standard Parking, Inc. (“APCOA”), the sole
corporate member of ABPC, has delivered to the State the Guaranty
Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2000 (the “APCOA
Guaranty”);
G. By resolution duly adopted on
August 27, 1999 by the State Bond Commission, the State is
authorized to enter into this Indenture and to issue the
Series 2000 Bonds for the purpose of financing the acquisition
and construction of the Garage;
H. All acts and conditions required
to be done or performed or to have been met precedent to and in the
issuance of the Series 2000 Bonds and the signing and delivery
of this Indenture and the First Supplemental Indenture have been
performed and have been met, or at the delivery of the
Series 2000 Bonds will have been performed and will have been
met (i) to make the Series 2000 Bonds, when issued,
delivered and authenticated, valid special obligations of the State
in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof, and (ii) to
make this Indenture a valid, binding and legal trust agreement for
the security of the Bonds in accordance with its terms;
I. The obligation of the State to
pay the principal of and interest on the Series 2000 Bonds is
to be insured, for the benefit of the Holders of the
Series 2000 Bonds, by the Bond Insurer; and
J. The Trustee has accepted the
trusts created by this Indenture and in evidence thereof has joined
in the execution hereof;
NOW, THEREFORE, THIS INDENTURE
WITNESSETH, that to secure: the payment of Debt Service on the
Bonds according to their true intent and meaning and all other
amounts due from time to time hereunder, including those due to the
Trustee, and to secure the performance and observance of all of the
covenants, agreements, obligations and conditions contained therein
and herein, and to declare the terms and conditions upon and
subject to which the Bonds are and are intended to be issued, held,
secured and enforced, and in consideration of the premises and the
acceptance by the Trustee of the trusts created herein and of the
purchase and acceptance of the Bonds by the Holders, and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is
acknowledged, the State has signed and delivered this Indenture and
does hereby absolutely and irrevocably pledge and assign to the
Trustee and to its successors in trust, and its and their assigns,
and grant a lien upon, all right, title and interest of the State
in the Assigned Lease Rights, the Pledged Revenues, the Pledged
Funds and the APCOA Guaranty (but only as to APCOA’s
obligation thereunder to make Guarantor Payments) to the extent and
with the exceptions provided in this Indenture;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any pledge
or assignment of, or lien on, any Fund, account, receivables,
revenues, money or other intangible property not in the custody of
the Trustee shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent
permitted by law.
TO HAVE AND TO HOLD unto the Trustee
and its successors in that trust and its and their assigns
forever;
2
BUT IN TRUST, NEVERTHELESS, and
subject to the provisions hereof,
(a) except as provided otherwise
herein, for the equal and proportionate benefit, security and
protection of all present and future Holders,
(b) for the enforcement of the
payment of the Debt Service on the Bonds and all other amounts due
from time to time hereunder, including those due to the Trustee,
when payable, according to the true intent and meaning thereof and
of this Indenture, and
(c) to secure the performance and
observance of and compliance with the covenants, agreements,
obligations, terms and conditions of this Indenture,
in each case, except as provided otherwise
herein, without preference, priority or distinction, as to lien or
otherwise, of any one Bond over any other by reason of designation,
number, date of the Bonds or of authorization, issuance, sale,
execution, authentication, delivery or maturity thereof, or
otherwise, so that each Bond and all Bonds shall have the same
right, lien and privilege under this Indenture, and shall be
secured equally and ratably hereby, it being intended that the lien
and security of this Indenture shall take effect from the date
hereof, without regard to the date of actual issue, sale or
delivery of the Bonds, as though upon that date all of the Bonds
were actually issued, sold and delivered to purchasers for
value;
PROVIDED FURTHER, HOWEVER, that
if
(i) the principal of the Bonds and
the interest due or to become due thereon, together with any
premium required by redemption of any of the Bonds prior to
maturity, shall be well and truly paid, at the times and in the
manner to which reference is made in the Bonds, according to the
true intent and meaning thereof, or the outstanding Bonds shall
have been paid and discharged in accordance with Article IX
hereof, and
(ii) all of the covenants,
agreements, obligations, terms and conditions of the State under
this Indenture shall have been kept, performed and observed, and
there shall have been paid to the Trustee, the Registrar, the
Paying Agents and the Authenticating Agents all sums of money due
or to become due to them in accordance with the terms and
provisions hereof,
then this Indenture and the rights assigned hereby
shall cease, determine and be void, except as provided in
Section 9.03 hereof with respect to the survival of certain
provisions hereof; otherwise, this Indenture shall be and remain in
full force and effect.
3

hereunder and secured hereby are to be issued, authenticated and
delivered, and that all Pledged Revenues and the Pledged Funds are
to be dealt with and disposed of under, upon and subject to, the
terms, conditions, stipulations, covenants, agreements,
obligations, trusts, uses and purposes provided in this Indenture.

another Person approved by the Trustee;
(b) any Long-Term Obligation having
a single principal maturity and no sinking fund redemption

Obligation under the terms of a credit facility or otherwise, such
Obligation shall be deemed to bear interest and to be payable as to
principal according to the terms of that refinancing
commitment;
(c) any Variable Rate Obligation
shall be deemed to bear interest at the Assumed Interest
Rate;
(d) in the case of Bonds secured by
a letter of credit or other credit facility, the reimbursement

interest payments on the Bonds are included in such calculation and
provided that the State has no current reimbursement obligation
thereunder;
(e) amounts to be paid and received
periodically under an interest rate exchange, swap or other hedge
arrangement may be excluded from the calculation of Annual Debt

forth in an opinion delivered to the Trustee of an investment
banker selected by the Treasurer and experienced in underwriting or
placing obligations of the type being recast, or of another Person
selected by the Treasurer and experienced in the issuance and sale

time provided for retirement thereof under the plan for refunding
and are committed to that purpose, and (ii) if the Bonds are

issuance of Bonds for the purpose of refunding any outstanding
Bonds, payments into the Debt Service Fund on account of principal
(including mandatory sinking fund redemption) and interest
requirements of the refunding Bonds shall be used in lieu of such
payments on account of principal (including mandatory sinking fund)

thereby.

When (i) the documents listed

(End of Article II)

ARTICLE III
TERMS OF BONDS GENERALLY
Section 3.01. Form of
Bonds . The Bonds, the certificate of authentication and the
form of assignment shall be substantially in the form thereof set
forth in the related Supplemental Indenture for that series of
Bonds with such insertions, deletions and variations as may be
authorized or permitted by the Supplemental Indenture.
All Bonds shall be in fully
registered form, and, except as provided in Section 3.05
hereof, the Holder of a Bond shall be regarded as the absolute
owner thereof for all purposes of this Indenture.
The Bonds of one series shall bear
any designations that may be necessary or advisable to distinguish
them from Bonds of any other series. The Bonds shall be negotiable
instruments and shall express the purpose for which they are issued
and any other statements or legends that may be required by
law.
Section 3.02. Variable
Terms . Subject to the provisions of this Indenture, each
series of Bonds shall be dated, shall mature in the years and the
amounts, shall bear interest at the rate or rates per year, shall
be payable on the dates, shall have the Registrar, Paying Agents
and Authenticating Agents, shall be of the denominations, shall be
subject to redemption on the terms and conditions and shall have
any other terms that are set forth or provided for in this
Indenture and the applicable Supplemental Indenture relating to
that issue of Bonds.
Section 3.03. Execution and
Authentication of Bonds . Unless otherwise provided in the
applicable Supplemental Indenture, each Bond shall be signed in the
name of the State by the Governor, the Treasurer and the
Comptroller of the State (provided that any of those signatures may
be facsimiles) and shall bear the seal of the State or a facsimile
thereof. In case any officer whose signature or a facsimile of
whose signature shall appear on any Bond shall cease to be that
officer before the issuance of the Bond, his or her signature or
the facsimile thereof nevertheless shall be valid and sufficient
for all purposes, the same as if he or she had remained in office
until that time. Any Bond may be signed on behalf of the State by
an officer who, on the date of signing is the proper officer,
although on the date of the Bond that person was not the proper
officer.
No Bond shall be valid or become
obligatory for any purpose or shall be entitled to any security or
benefit under this Indenture unless and until a certificate of
authentication shall have been manually signed by the Trustee or by
any Authenticating Agent for that series on behalf of the Trustee.
The authentication by the Trustee or by an Authenticating Agent
upon any Bond shall be conclusive evidence that the Bond so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder
and is entitled to the security and benefit of this Indenture. The
certificate of authentication may be signed by any person
authorized by the Trustee or Authenticating Agent, but it shall not
be necessary that the same authorized person sign the certificates
of authentication on all of the Bonds of a series.
27
Section 3.04. Security for
the Bonds . Bonds issued under this Indenture shall be special
obligations of the State payable from, and secured by, the sources
described herein. Debt Service on all Bonds shall be equally and
ratably payable from, and secured by a pledge of and lien on, the
Assigned Lease Rights, the APCOA Guaranty (as to APCOA’s
obligation thereunder to make Guarantor Payments), the Pledged
Revenues and the Pledged Funds as provided in this Indenture,
except as otherwise provided with respect to the separate accounts
of the Debt Service Reserve Fund, and except as otherwise provided
herein in connection with Subordinate Bonds. However, any pledge or
assignment of or lien on any fund, account, receivables, revenues,
money or other intangible property not in the custody of the
Trustee shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent permitted
by law. The State covenants that it will promptly pay from such
sources the Debt Service on every Bond issued under the provisions
of this Indenture at the places, on the dates and in the manner
provided herein and in said Bonds, according to the true intent and
meaning thereof.
Nothing herein shall prevent payment
of Debt Service on one series of Bonds from being otherwise secured
and protected from sources or by property and instruments not
applicable to another series of Bonds.
Bonds issued pursuant to this
Indenture shall be special obligations of the State and shall not
be payable from nor charged upon any funds other than the Pledged
Revenues or other receipts, funds or moneys pledged therefor
pursuant to this Indenture, nor shall the State or any political
subdivision thereof be subject to any liability thereon except to
the extent of such Pledged Revenues or the receipts, funds and
moneys pledged hereby. The issuance of Bonds pursuant hereto shall
not directly or contingently obligate the State or any political
subdivision thereof to levy or to pledge any form of taxation
whatever therefor or to make any appropriation for their payment.
The Bonds shall not be secured by the Gross Operating Revenues (as
defined in the Bradley Airport Parity Bond Indenture) of the
Airport and shall not constitute a charge, lien or encumbrance,
legal or equitable, upon any property of the State or of any
political subdivision thereof, except the property mortgaged or
otherwise encumbered under the provisions of this Indenture. The
substance of such limitation shall be plainly stated on the face of
each Bond. Bonds issued pursuant to this Indenture shall not be
subject to any statutory limitation on the indebtedness of the
State, except as provided in the Act, and such Bonds, when issued,
shall not be included in computing the aggregate indebtedness of
the State in respect to and to the extent of any such
limitation.
In consideration of the purchase and
acceptance of the Bonds by those who hold the same from time to
time, the provisions of this Indenture will be a part of the
contract of the State with the holders of all Bonds issued under
this Indenture and will be deemed to be and will constitute the
contract among the State, the Trustee, and the holders from time to
time of all such Bonds, and such provisions are covenants and
agreements of the State with such holders which the State
determines to be necessary and desirable for the security and
payment thereof. The provisions, covenants and agreements of this
Indenture set forth to be performed on behalf of the State will be
for the equal benefit, protection and security of the holders of
any and all of the Bonds issued under this Indenture, all of which,
regardless of the time or times of their issue or maturity, will be
of equal rank without preference, priority or distinction of any of
the Bonds over any other therefor except as expressly provided in
this Indenture.
28
Section 3.05. Payment and
Ownership of Bonds . Debt Service shall be payable when due in
lawful money of the United States of America without deduction for
the services of the Trustee or any Paying Agent, except as
otherwise provided pursuant to an agreement under Section 3.09
hereof:
(a) on any Bond in a book entry
system registered in the name of a Depository or its nominee, in
federal funds (i) in the case of principal of and any premium
on any Bond, delivered or transmitted to the Depository or its
authorized representative on or prior to the date when due, upon
presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal corporate
trust office of the Trustee or at the office, designated by the
Trustee, of any Paying Agent, and (ii) is the case of interest
on any Bond, delivered or transmitted on or prior to any Interest
Payment Date to the Depository or nominee that was the Holder of
that Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date applicable to that Interest
Payment Date; and
(b) on any other Bond, (i) in
the case of principal of and any premium on any Bond when due, upon
presentation and surrender of such Bond at the principal corporate
trust office of the Trustee or at the office, designated by the
Trustee, of any Paying Agent and (ii) in the case of interest
on any Bond, on each Interest Payment Date by check or draft which
the Trustee shall cause to be mailed on that date to the Holder of
the Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date applicable to that Interest
Payment Date at the Holder’s address as it appears on the
Register.
If and to the extent, however, that
the State shall fail to make payment or provision for payment of
interest on any Bond on any Interest Payment Date, that interest
shall cease to be payable to the person who was the Holder of that
Bond (or of one or more Predecessor Bonds) as of the applicable
Regular Record Date. When money becomes available for payment of
the interest, (i) the Trustee shall establish, pursuant to
Section 7.06(b) hereof, a Special Record Date for the
payment of that interest, which Special Record Date shall be not
more than 15 nor fewer than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment, and (ii) the Trustee shall cause notice of
the proposed payment and of the Special Record Date to be mailed by
first class mail, postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as
it appears on the Register not fewer than 10 days prior to the
Special Record Date and, thereafter, the interest shall be payable
to the persons who are the Holders of the Bonds (or their
respective Predecessor Bonds) at the close of business on the
Special Record Date.
Subject to the foregoing, each Bond
delivered under this Indenture, upon transfer thereof or in
exchange for or in replacement of any other Bond, shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue on that Bond,
or which were carried by that Bond.
Except as provided in this
Section 3.05 and in the first paragraph of Section 3.07
hereof, (i) the Holder of any Bond shall be deemed and
regarded as the absolute owner thereof for all purposes of this
Indenture, (ii) payment of or on account of the Debt Service
on any Bond shall be made only to or upon the order of that Holder
or its duly authorized attorney in the manner permitted in this
Indenture, and (iii) neither the State, the Trustee, the
Registrar nor any Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent shall be
affected, to the extent permitted by law, by notice to the
contrary. All of those payments shall be valid and effective to
satisfy and discharge the liability
29
upon that Bond, including without limitation,
the interest thereon, to the extent of the amount or amounts so
paid.
Section 3.06. Transfer and
Exchange of Bonds . So long as any of the Bonds remain
outstanding, the State will cause books for the registration and
transfer of Bonds, as provided in this Indenture, to be maintained
and kept at the designated office of the Registrar.
Except as provided with respect to
the Bonds in book entry form pursuant to this Indenture, and unless
otherwise provided in the applicable Supplemental Indenture, Bonds
may be exchanged, at the option of their Holder, for Bonds of the
same series and of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed
principal amount of, and bearing interest at the same rate and
maturing on the same date or dates as, the Bonds being exchanged.
The exchange shall be made upon presentation and surrender of the
Bonds being exchanged at the designated office of the Registrar or
at the designated office of any Authenticating Agent for that
series of Bonds, together with a written request therefor duly
signed by the Holder or its duly authorized attorney in any form
that shall be satisfactory to the Registrar or the Authenticating
Agent, as the case may be.
Except as provided with respect to
the Bonds in book entry form pursuant to this Indenture, any Bond
may be transferred upon the Register, upon presentation and
surrender thereof at the designated office of the Registrar or the
designated office of any Authenticating Agent for the series
thereof, together with an assignment duly signed by the Holder or
its duly authorized attorney in any form that shall be satisfactory
to the Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be.
Upon transfer of any Bond and on request of the Registrar or the
Authenticating Agent, the State shall execute, and the Registrar or
the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, shall authenticate
and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of the same series in the name of
the transferee, of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed
principal amount of, and bearing interest at the same rate and
maturing on the same date or dates as, the Bonds presented and
surrendered for transfer.
In all cases in which Bonds shall be
exchanged or transferred hereunder, the State shall execute, and
the Registrar or any Authenticating Agent, as the case may be,
shall authenticate and deliver, Bonds in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture. The exchange or transfer shall be
made without charge to the Holders; provided that the State and the
Registrar or the Authenticating Agent, as the case may be, may make
a charge for every exchange or transfer of Bonds that is sufficient
in amount to reimburse them for any tax or excise required to be
paid with respect to the exchange or transfer. Those charges shall
be paid before a new Bond is delivered.
All Bonds issued upon any transfer
or exchange of Bonds shall be the valid special obligations of the
State, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon transfer or
exchange. Neither the State, the Registrar nor any Authenticating
Agent, as the case may be, shall be required to make any exchange
or transfer of a Bond during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Bonds and ending at the close of business on the day
of the mailing or to transfer or exchange any Bonds selected for
redemption, in whole or in part.
30
In case any Bond is redeemed in part
only, on or after the redemption date and upon presentation and
surrender of the Bond, the State, subject to the provisions of
Section 3.09 hereof, shall cause the execution of, and the
Registrar or any Authenticating Agent for the series of that Bond
shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds of the same
series in Authorized Denominations in an aggregate principal amount
equal to the unmatured and unredeemed portion of, and bearing
interest at the same rate and maturing on the same date or dates
as, the Bond redeemed in part, with or without a new CUSIP number,
if required.
The designated office of the
Registrar and Authenticating Agent for purposes of this
Section shall be established by the Trustee.
Section 3.07. Mutilated,
Lost, Wrongfully Taken or Destroyed Bonds . If any Bond is
mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed, in the absence of
written notice to the State or the Registrar that a lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the State shall execute, and the Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like date, maturity and
denomination and of the same series as the Bond mutilated, lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed; provided that (i) in the case
of any mutilated Bond, the mutilated Bond first shall be
surrendered to the Registrar, and (ii) in the case of any
lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond, there first shall be
furnished to the State, the Trustee and the Registrar evidence of
the loss, wrongful taking or destruction satisfactory to the State,
the Trustee and the Registrar, together with indemnity satisfactory
to them.
If any lost, wrongfully taken or
destroyed Bond shall have matured, instead of issuing a new Bond,
the State may direct the Trustee to pay that Bond without surrender
thereof upon the furnishing of satisfactory evidence and indemnity
as in the case of issuance of a new Bond. The State, the Registrar
and the Trustee may charge the Holder of a mutilated, lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed Bond their reasonable fees and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) in connection with
their actions pursuant to this Section.
Every new Bond issued pursuant to
this Section by reason of any Bond being mutilated, lost,
wrongfully taken or destroyed (i) shall constitute, to the
extent of the outstanding principal amount of the Bond mutilated,
lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed, a contractual obligation of
the State, regardless of whether the mutilated, lost, wrongfully
taken or destroyed Bond shall be enforceable at any time by anyone,
and (ii) shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds
issued and outstanding hereunder, provided that nothing in this
paragraph shall limit the authority and right of the State to
exercise its rights under the indemnity furnished at the time of
issuance of a new Bond or payment of a Bond without
surrender.
All Bonds shall be held and owned on
the express condition that the foregoing provisions of this
Section are exclusive with respect to the replacement or
payment of mutilated, lost, wrongfully taken or destroyed Bonds
and, to the extent permitted by law, shall preclude any and all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or
payment of negotiable instruments or other investment securities
without their surrender, notwithstanding any law or statute to the
contrary now existing or enacted hereafter.

Section 3.08. Safekeeping
and Cancellation of Bonds . Any Bond surrendered pursuant to
this Article for the purpose of payment or retirement, or for
exchange, replacement or transfer, shall be canceled upon
presentation and surrender thereof to the Registrar, the Trustee or
any Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent. Any Bond canceled by the
Trustee or a Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent shall be
transmitted promptly to the Registrar by the Trustee, the Paying
Agent or the Authenticating Agent.
The State may deliver at any time to
the Registrar for cancellation any Bonds previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder, which the State may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever. All Bonds so delivered shall be canceled
promptly by the Registrar. Certification of the surrender and
cancellation shall be made to the State and the Trustee by the
Registrar at least twice each calendar year.
Unless otherwise directed in writing
by the State, canceled Bonds shall be retained and stored by the
Registrar for a period of two years after their cancellation. After
that time or at any earlier time directed in writing by the State,
the canceled Bonds may, at the written direction of the State, be
either returned to the State or destroyed by the Registrar by
shredding or cremation. Certificates of any destruction of canceled
Bonds (describing the manner thereof) shall be provided by the
Registrar to the State and the Trustee.
Section 3.09. Book-Entry
Bonds . Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Bonds
may be authorized and issued in book entry form in accordance with
the Supplemental Indenture authorizing such Bonds.
For all purposes of this Indenture
the Holder of a Bond in book entry form shall be the Depository
therefor and neither the State, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall
have responsibility or any obligation to the beneficial owner of
such Bond or to any direct or indirect participant in such
Depository. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
neither the State, the Registrar nor the Trustee shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any such participant or to the
beneficial owner of a Bond in book entry form with respect to
(i) the accuracy of the records of the Depository or any
participant with respect to any beneficial ownership interest in
such Bond, (ii) the delivery to any participant of the
Depository, the beneficial owner of such Bond or any other person,
other than the Depository, of any notice with respect to such Bond,
including any notice of the redemption thereof, or (iii) the
payment to any participant of the Depository, the beneficial owner
of such Bond or any other person, other than the Depository, of any
amount with respect to the principal or redemption price of, or
interest on, such Bond. The State, the Registrar and the Trustee
may treat the Depository therefor as the absolute owner of a Bond
in book entry form for the purpose of (x) payment of the
principal or redemption price of, and interest on such Bond,
(y) giving notices of redemption and of other matters with
respect to such Bond, (z) registering transfers with respect
to such Bond, and for all other purposes whatsoever. All principal
or redemption price of, as applicable, and interest on, such Bond
shall be paid only to or upon the order of the Depository, and all
such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and
discharge the State’s obligations with respect to such
principal or redemption price and interest, ABPC’s obligation
under the Lease and APCOA’s obligation under the APCOA
Guaranty, in each case with respect to payment of Debt Service on
the Bonds, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. No Person
other than the
32
Depository shall receive a Bond or other
instrument evidencing the State’s obligation to make payments
of the principal or redemption price thereof, and interest
thereon.
Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, payment of the redemption price of Bonds in book
entry form which are redeemed prior to maturity may be paid to the
Depository by wire transfer. Such payment of the redemption price
of Bonds in book entry form to the Depository may be made without
surrender of Bonds to the Trustee; provided, however, payment of
principal and interest at maturity of Bonds in book entry form
requires surrender of such Bonds to the Trustee.
The State, in its sole discretion
and without the consent of the Trustee, the beneficial owner of a
Bond in book entry form or any other person, may terminate the
services of the Depository with respect to Bonds in book entry form
if the State determines that (i) the Depository is unable to
discharge its responsibilities with respect to such Bonds or
(ii) a continuation of the requirement that all of the
Outstanding Bonds of like series issued in book-entry form be
registered in the Register in the name of the Depository, is not in
the best interest of the beneficial owners of such Bonds, and the
State shall terminate the services of the Depository upon receipt
by the State and the Trustee of written notice from the Depository
that it has received written requests that such Depository be
removed from its participants having beneficial interest, as shown
in the records of the Depository, in an aggregate amount of not
less than a majority in principal amount of the then Outstanding
Bonds for which the Depository is serving as depository.
Upon the termination of the services
of a Depository with respect to a Bond in book entry form, or upon
the resignation of a Depository with respect to a Bond in book
entry form, after which no substitute securities depository willing
to undertake the functions of such Depository can be found which,
in the opinion of the State, is able to undertake such functions
upon reasonable and customary terms, such Bonds shall no longer be
registered in the registration books kept by the Registrar in the
name of a Depository, but shall be registered in the name or names
Bondholders transferring or exchanging such Bonds shall designate,
in accordance with provisions of Article III
hereof.
Section 3.10. Nonpresentment
of Bonds . In the event any Bond shall not be presented for
payment when the principal of and any premium on the Bond becomes
due in whole or in part, either at stated maturity, at the date
fixed for redemption thereof, or otherwise, or in the event any
check or draft for interest on any Bond is uncashed, if money
sufficient to pay the principal and any premium then due on that
Bond or such check or draft shall have been made available to the
Trustee for the benefit of its Holder, then all liability of the
State to that Holder for payment of the principal and any premium
then due on the Bond or of the interest represented by such check
or draft shall cease and be completely discharged. Thereupon, it
shall be the duty of the Trustee to hold that money, without
liability for interest thereon, in a separate account of the
Trustee for the exclusive benefit of the Holder of that Bond, who
shall be restricted thereafter exclusively to that money for any
claim of whatever nature on its part under this Indenture on, or
with respect to, the principal and any premium then due on that
Bond or the interest represented by such check or draft.
33
Any of the money that shall be so
held by the Trustee, and that remains unclaimed for a period of
four years after the due date thereof by the Holder of the Bond not
presented for payment or a check or draft not cashed, shall be paid
to the State free of any trust or lien upon request in writing by
the State. Thereafter, the Holder of that Bond shall look only to
the State for payment and then only to the amounts so received by
the State without any interest thereon, and the Trustee shall have
no responsibility with respect to that money.

ARTICLE IV
REDEMPTION OF BONDS
Section 4.01. Terms of
Redemption of Bonds . The Bonds of each series may be subject
to redemption prior to stated maturity as provided in the
Supplemental Indenture applicable to that series. The provisions of
tills Article IV may be varied with respect to the series of
Bonds pursuant to the applicable Supplemental Indenture.
Section 4.02. Partial
Redemption. If fewer than all of the outstanding Bonds of a
series that are stated to mature on different dates are called for
redemption at one time, those Bonds that are called shall be
designated by the State. If fewer than all of the Bonds of a single
maturity are to be redeemed, the selection of Bonds to be redeemed,
or portions thereof in Authorized Denominations, shall be made by
lot by the Trustee in any manner that the Trustee may determine. In
the case of a partial redemption of Bonds by lot when Bonds of
Authorized Denominations greater than the minimum Authorized
Denomination are then outstanding, each unit of principal thereof
in the minimum Authorized Denomination shall be treated as though
it were a separate Bond of the minimum Authorized Denomination. If
it is determined that one or more, but not all of the minimum
Authorized Denomination units of principal amount represented by a
Bond are to be called for redemption, then upon notice of
redemption of such a unit or units the Holder of that Bond shall
surrender the Bond to the Trustee (a) for payment of the
redemption price of the unit or units called for redemption
(including without limitation, the interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption and any premium), and (b) for issuance,
without charge to the Holder thereof, of a new Bond or Bonds of the
same series, of any Authorized Denomination or Denominations in an
aggregate principal amount equal to the unmatured and unredeemed
portion of, and bearing interest at the same rate and maturing on
the same date or dates as, the Bond surrendered, with or without a
new CUSIP number, if required.
Section 4.03. Notice of
Redemption . The notice of the call for redemption of Bonds
shall identify (i) by designation, letters, numbers or other
distinguishing marks, the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed,
(ii) the redemption price to be paid, (iii) the date
fixed for redemption, and (iv) the place or places where the
amounts due upon re
