Execution of Bonds The Bonds shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer with the manual or facsimile signature of the Chairman of its Board of Commissioners and its Treasurer and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of its Clerk or Deputy Clerk. The Bonds shall then be delivered to the Trustee for authentication by it. 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 Issuer, such Bonds may nevertheless be authenticated, delivered and issued and, upon such authentication, delivery and issuance, shall be as binding upon the Issuer as though those who signed and attested the same had continued to be such officers of the Issuer. Also, any Bond may be signed on behalf of the Issuer 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.
Execution of Notes Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Notes attached as Exhibit A1 hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.
Execution of Agreement; Notes On or prior to the Initial Borrowing Date, (i) the Effective Date shall have occurred and (ii) there shall have been delivered to the Administrative Agent for the account of each of the Lenders (subject to Section 1.06(o)) the appropriate Notes executed by the appropriate Borrower, in each case in the amount, maturity and as otherwise provided herein.
Form, Denomination and Title The Notes are in bearer form or in registered form as specified in the applicable Final Terms and, in the case of definitive Notes, serially numbered, in the Specified Currency and the Specified Denomination(s). Notes of one Specified Denomination may not be exchanged for Notes of another Specified Denomination and Bearer Notes may not be exchanged for Registered Notes and vice versa. This Note may be a Fixed Rate Note, a Floating Rate Note, a Zero Coupon Note or a combination of any of the foregoing, depending upon the Interest Basis shown in the applicable Final Terms. Definitive Bearer Notes are issued with Coupons attached, unless they are Zero Coupon Notes in which case references to Coupons and Couponholders in the Conditions are not applicable. Subject as set out below, title to the Bearer Notes and Coupons will pass by delivery and title to the Registered Notes will pass upon registration of transfers in accordance with the provisions of the Agency Agreement. The Issuer, the Guarantor and any Agent will (except as otherwise required by law or ordered by a court having jurisdiction or an official authority) deem and treat the bearer of any Bearer Note or Coupon and the registered holder of any Registered Note as the absolute owner thereof (whether or not overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon or notice of any previous loss or theft thereof) for all purposes but, in the case of any Global Note, without prejudice to the provisions set out in the next succeeding paragraph. For so long as any of the Notes is represented by a Bearer Global Note held on behalf of Euroclear Bank SA/NV (“Euroclear”) and/or Clearstream Banking S.A. (“Clearstream, Luxembourg”), each person (other than Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg) who is for the time being shown in the records of Euroclear or of Clearstream, Luxembourg as the holder of a particular nominal amount of such Notes (in which regard any certificate or other document issued by Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg as to the nominal amount of such Notes standing to the account of any person shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes save in the case of manifest error) shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor and the Agents as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes for all purposes other than with respect to the payment of principal or interest on such nominal amount of such Notes, for which purpose the bearer of the relevant Bearer Global Note shall be treated by the Issuer, the Guarantor and any Agent as the holder of such nominal amount of such Notes in accordance with and subject to the terms of the relevant Global Note and the expressions “Noteholder” and “holder of Notes” and related expressions shall be construed accordingly. Notes which are represented by a Global Note will be transferable only in accordance with the rules and procedures for the time being of Euroclear and Clearstream, Luxembourg, as the case may be. References to Euroclear and/or Clearstream, Luxembourg shall, whenever the context so permits, be deemed to include a reference to any additional or alternative clearing system specified in the applicable Final Terms.
Voting of Underlying Securities, Modification of Indenture The Trustee, as holder of the Underlying Securities, has the right to vote and give consents and waivers in respect of the Underlying Securities as permitted by the Depository and except as otherwise limited by the Trust Agreement. In the event that the Trustee receives a request from the Depository, the Underlying Securities trustee or the Underlying Securities Issuer for its consent to any amendment, modification or waiver of the Underlying Securities, the Underlying Securities Indenture or any other document thereunder or relating thereto, or receives any other solicitation for any action with respect to the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall mail a notice of such proposed amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation to each Certificateholder of record as of such date. The Trustee shall request instructions from the Certificateholders as to whether or not to consent to or vote to accept such amendment, modification, waiver or solicitation. The Trustee shall consent or vote, or refrain from consenting or voting, in the same proportion (based on the relative outstanding principal balances of the Certificates) as the Certificates of the Trust were actually voted or not voted by the Certificateholders thereof as of a date determined by the Trustee prior to the date on which such consent or vote is required after weighing the votes of the Class A Certificateholders and the Class B Certificateholders in accordance with the Allocation Ratio; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, the Trustee shall at no time vote on or consent to any matter (i) unless such vote or consent would not (based on an Opinion of Counsel) alter the status of the Trust as a "grantor trust" for federal income tax purposes or result in the imposition of tax upon the Certificateholders, or (ii) that would alter the timing or amount of any payment on the Underlying Securities, including, without limitation, any demand to accelerate the Underlying Securities, except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities or an event that with the passage of time would become an event of default under the Underlying Securities and with the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders, or (iii) except as provided in the following paragraph, that would result in the exchange or substitution of any of the outstanding Underlying Securities pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of such Underlying Securities except in the event of a default under the Underlying Securities Indenture and only with the consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders. The Trustee shall have no liability for any failure to act resulting from Certificateholders' or Call Holders' late return of, or failure to return, directions requested by the Trustee from the Certificateholders and Call Holders. If an offer is made by the Underlying Securities Issuer to issue new obligations in exchange and substitution for any of the Underlying Securities, pursuant to a plan for the refunding or refinancing of the outstanding Underlying Securities or any other offer is made for the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall notify the Certificateholders, the Call Holders and the Rating Agencies of such offer promptly. Subject to Sections 7(b) and 14 in connection with a tender offer and the exercise of Call Rights or Optional Exchange rights, the Trustee must reject any such offer unless the Trustee is directed by the affirmative vote of 100% of the Certificateholders and 100% of the Call Holders to accept such offer, the Trustee has received the tax opinion described above and if the Trustee is so directed, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of such direction accompanied by evidence of the affirmative vote of such Certificateholders and Call Holders. If an event of default under the Underlying Securities Indenture occurs and is continuing, and if directed by 100% of the Certificateholders, the Trustee shall vote the Underlying Securities in favor of directing, or take such other action as may be appropriate to direct, the Underlying Securities trustee to declare the unpaid principal amount of the Underlying Securities and any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be due and payable.
FORM, DATING AND DENOMINATIONS The Notes and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication will be substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A. The Notes will bear the legends required by Section 2.09 and may bear notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage or the Depositary. Each Note will be dated as of the date of its authentication. Except to the extent otherwise provided in a Company Order delivered to the Trustee in connection with the issuance and authentication thereof, the Notes will be issued initially in the form of one or more Global Notes. Global Notes may be exchanged for Physical Notes, and Physical Notes may be exchanged for Global Notes, only as provided in Section 2.10. The Notes will be issuable only in registered form without interest coupons and only in Authorized Denominations. Each certificate representing a Note will bear a unique registration number that is not affixed to any other certificate representing another outstanding Note. The terms contained in the Notes constitute part of this Indenture, and, to the extent applicable, the Company and the Trustee, by their execution and delivery of this Indenture, agree to such terms and to be bound thereby; provided, however, that, to the extent that any provision of any Note conflicts with the provisions of this Indenture, the provisions of this Indenture will control for purposes of this Indenture and such Note.
Form of Bonds The Bonds, the form of Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and the form of assignment to appear thereon, shall be substantially in the respective forms set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein, with necessary or appropriate variations, omissions and insertions, as permitted or required by this Indenture.
Redemption of Bonds The Issuer shall take the actions required by the Indenture to discharge the lien thereof through the redemption, or provision for payment or redemption, of all Bonds then outstanding, or to effect the redemption, or provision for payment or redemption, of less than all the Bonds then outstanding, upon receipt by the Issuer and the Trustee from the Company of a notice designating the principal amounts, series and maturities of the Bonds to be redeemed, or for the payment or redemption of which provision is to be made, and, in the case of redemption of Bonds, or provision therefor, specifying the date of redemption, which shall not be less than forty-five (45) days from the date such notice is given (or such shorter period as may be agreed to by the Trustee), and the applicable redemption provision of the Indenture. Unless otherwise stated therein or otherwise required by the Indenture, such notice shall be revocable by the Company at any time prior to the time at which the Bonds to be redeemed, or for the payment or redemption of which provision is to be made, are first deemed to be paid in accordance with Article IX of the Indenture. The Company shall furnish, as a prepayment of the Loan Payments, any moneys or Government Securities (as defined in the Indenture) required by the Indenture to be deposited with the Trustee or otherwise paid by the Issuer in connection with any of the foregoing purposes.
Execution and Delivery of Trust Securities Certificates At the Closing Date, the Administrative Trustees shall cause Trust Securities Certificates, in an aggregate Liquidation Amount as provided in Sections 2.4 and 2.5, to be executed on behalf of the Issuer Trust by manual or facsimile signature and delivered to or upon the written order of the Depositor, signed by its chairman of the board, its president, any executive vice president or any vice president, treasurer or assistant treasurer or controller without further corporate action by the Depositor, in authorized denominations.
Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any Responsible Officer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise. Prior to any such authentication and delivery, the Trustee shall be provided with the Officers’ Certificate required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of the series of Securities required to be furnished pursuant to Section 2.02, an Opinion of Counsel substantially to the effect that:
(1) all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of the Indenture and constitute sufficient authority hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Securities;
(2) the form and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with, the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such Securities have been duly authorized and delivered by the Company and, assuming due authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if any, of such series Outstanding;
(4) when applicable, the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and
(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request; and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been complied with, the Company has corporate power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary corporate action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been duly executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and legal principles affecting creditors’ rights generally from time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law or in equity). The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual or facsimile signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.09, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
