The interest on the bonds shall be evidenced by interest
coupons. The principal of the bonds and the interest thereon shall
be payable at the office of the Trustee and Paying Agent. Payment
shall be in any coin or currency which on the respective dates of
payment of such principal and interest is legal tender for the payment
of debts due the United States of America.
Section 203. The bonds shall be executed on behalf of the
City by the Mayor and City Clerk thereof and shall have impressed
thereon the seal of the City. If the Mayor shall file the certificate
required by Act No. 69 of the Acts of Arkansas of 1959 and otherwise
comply with the provisions of said Act No. 69 of 1959, then the bonds
and the coupons attached to the bonds may be executed by the fac-
simile signature of the Mayor, which facsimile signature shall have
the same force and effect as if the Mayor had personally signed each
of said bonds and each of said coupons. The bonds,together with in-
terest thereon, shall be payable from the "Bond Fund" as hereinafter
set forth, and shall be a valid claim of the holders thereof only
against such fund and the revenues pledged to such fund (but in addi-
tion shall be secured by a mortgage on the Project), which revenues
are hereby pledged and mortgaged for the equal and ratable payment
of the bonds and shall be used for no other purpose than to pay the
principal of and interest on the bonds, and the Paying Agent's fees,
except as may be otherwise expressly authorized in this Indenture.
The bonds and interest thereon shall not constitute an indebtedness
of the City within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory
provision. In case any officer whose signature or facsimile of whose
signature shall appear on the bonds or coupons shall cease to be
such officer before the delivery of such bonds, such signature or
such facsimile shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as if he had remained in office until delivery.
Section 204. Only such bonds as shall have endorsed
thereon a Certificate of Authentication substantially in the form
hereinabove set forth duly executed by the Trustee shall be entitled
to any right or benefit under this Indenture. No bond and no coupon
appertaining to any bond shall be valid or obligatory for any purpose
unless and until such Certificate of Authentication shall have been
duly executed by the Trustee, and such Certificate of the Trustee
upon any such bond shall be conclusive evidence that such bond has
been authenticated and delivered under this Indenture. The Trustee's
Certificate of Authentication on any bond shall be deemed to have
been executed if signed by an authorized officer of the Trustee, but
it shall not be necessary that the same officer sign the Certificate
of Authentication on all of the bonds issued hereunder. Before
authenticating or delivering any bonds, the Trustee shall detach and
cancel all matured coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and such
cancelled coupons shall be cremated by the Trustee.
Section 205. The bonds issued under this Indenture and
the coupons attached thereto shall be substantially in the form
hereinabove set forth with such appropriate variations, omissions
and insertions as are permitted or required by this Indenture.
Section 206. Upon the execution and delivery of this In-
denture, the City shall execute and deliver to the Trustee and the
Trustee shall authenticate the bonds and deliver them to the pur-
chasers upon payment of the purchase price plus accrued interest from
the date of the bonds to the date of delivery.
Section 207. This Indenture is given in order to secure
funds to pay for new construction and by reason thereof it is in-
r r
tended that this Indenture shall be superior to any laborers',
mechanics' or materialmen's liens which may be placed upon the
Pro j ec t.
Section 208. In case any bond issued hereunder shall
became mutilated or be destroyed or lost, the City shall, if not
then prohibited by law, cause to be executed and the Trustee may
authenticate and deliver a new bond of like date, number, maturity
and tenor in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation of
such mutilated bond and its interest coupons, or in lieu of and in
substitution for such bond and its coupons destroyed or lost, upon
the holder's or owner's paying the reasonable expenses and charges of
the City and the Trustee in connection therewith, and, in case of a
bond destroyed or lost, his filing with the Trustee evidence satis-
factory to it that such bond and coupons were destroyed or lost,
and of his ownership thereof, and furnishing the City and Trustee
with indemnity satisfactory to them. The Trustee is hereby author-
ized to authenticate any such new bonds.
.Section 209. Title to any bond, unless such bond is
registered in the manner hereinafter provided, and to any interest
coupon shall pass by delivery in the same manner as a negotiable in-
strument payable to bearer. The City shall cause books for the
registration and for the transfer of the bonds as provided in this
Indenture to be kept by the Trustee as bond registrar. At the option
of the bearer, any bond may be registered as to principal alone on
such books, upon presentation thereof to the bond registrar, which
shall make notation of such registration thereon. Any bond regis-
tered as to principal may thereafter be transferred only upon an
assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his attorney or
legal representative in such form as shall be satisfactory to the
bond registrar, such transfer to be made on such books and endorsed
on the bond by the bond registrar. Such transfer may be to bearer
and thereafter transferability by delivery shall be restored, subject,
however, to successive registrations and transfers as before. The
principal of any bond registered as to principal alone, unless
registered to bearer, shall be payable only to or upon the order of
the registered owner or his legal representative, but the coupons
appertaining to any bond registered as to principal shall remain
payable to bearer,-*otwithstanding such registration. No charge shall
be made to any bondholder for the privilege of registration and trans-
fer hereinabove granted, but any bondholder requesting any such regis-
tration or transfer shall pay any tax or other governmental charge
required to be paid with respect thereto. As to any bond registered
as to principal, the person in whose name the same shall be regis-
tered shall be deemed and regarded as the absolute owner thereof for
all purposes and payment of or on account of the principal of any such
bond shall be made only to or upon the order of the registered owner
thereof, or his legal representative, and neither the City, the Trus-
tee, nor the bond registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary, but such registration may be changed as herein provided.
All such payments shall be valid and effectual to satisfy and dis-
charge the liability upon such bond to the extent of the sum or sums
so paid. The City, the Trustee, the bond registrar and the Paying
Agent may deem and treat the bearer of any bond which shall not at
the time be registered as to principal, and the bearer of any coupon
appertaining to any bond, whether such bond be registered as to prin-
cipal or not, as the absolute owner of such bond or coupon, as the
case may be, whether such bond or coupon shall be overdue or not,
for the purpose of receiving payment thereof and for all other pur-
poses whatsoever, and neither the City, the Trustee, the bond
registrar nor the Paying Agent shall be affected by any notice to
the contrary.
ARTICLE III
REDEMPTION OF BONDS BEFORE MATURITY
Section 301. The bonds shall be noncallable prior to May 1,
1974 except from the proceeds received from condemnation of all or
any portion of the Project, or proceeds from the Lessee exercising
an option to purchase under the Lease Agreement, or proceeds receive(
under the default provisions of the Lease Agreement, or proceeds re-
ceived under the default provisions of this Indenture, but in the
case of the receipt of any proceeds from said sources the bonds shat:
be callable for payment prior to maturity in inverse numerical order
at a price of the principal amount of the bonds being called plus
accrued interest to the date of redemption, with redemption to be
on any interest paying date. On and after May 1, 1974, the bonds
shall be callable for payment prior to maturity in inverse numerical
order on any interest paying date from funds from any source at a
price of the principal amount of the bonds being called plus accrued
interest to the redemption date.

Section 302. Notice of the call for redemption shall be
published one time in a newspaper published in the City of Little
Rock, Arkansas and having a general circulation throughout the State
of Arkansas, which publication shall be not less than fifteen (15)
days before the date of redemption. In addition, notice of redemp-
tion shall be mailed by registered or certified mail to the regis-
tered owner of any bond registered as to principal addressed to such
registered owner at his registered address and placed in the mails
not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the date fixed for redemp-
tion. In the event that all of the bonds are registered as to prin-
cipal, notice in writing by registered or certified mail to the
owner or owners thereof not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the
date fixed for redemption shall be sufficient, and published notice
of the call for redemption need not be given. Each notice shall
specify the numbers and the maturities of the bonds being called and
the date on which they shall be presented for payment. After the
date specified in said call, the bond or bonds so called will cease
to bear interest provided funds for their payment are on deposit
with the Paying Agent at that time and, except for the purpose of
payment, shall no longer be protected by the Indenture and shall not
be deemed to be outstanding under the provisions of the Indenture.
It shall not be necessary to give written notice of the redemption
to the holder of any bearer bond.
Section 303. All bonds which have been redeemed shall be
cancelled by the Trustee together with the unmatured coupons apper-
taining thereto and shall not be reissued.
Section 304. All unpaid interest coupons which apper-
tain to bonds so called for redemption and which shall have become
payable on or prior to the date of redemption shall continue to be
payable to the bearers severally and respectively upon the pre-
sentation and surrender of such coupons.

(except interest, if any, paid from the proceeds from the sale of the
bonds and accrued interest) are payable solely from revenues derived
from the Project, which revenues are hereby specifically pledged to
the payment thereof in the manner and to the extent herein specified,
and nothing in the bonds or coupons or in this Indenture should be
considered as pledging any other funds or assets of the City (except
the securing of the indebtedness evidenced by the bonds and coupons
by a mortgage on the Project). Anything in this Indenture to the
contrary notwithstanding, it is understood that whenever the City
makes any covenants involving financial commitments, including, with-
out limitation, those in the various sections of Article IV, it
pledges no funds or revenues other than those provided for in the
Lease Agreement and the revenues derived from and the avails of the
mortgaged property, but nothing herein shall be construed as pro-
hibiting the City from using any other funds and revenues.

ulations and provisions contained in this Indenture, in any and every

herein and that it has good and indefeasible title and estate there-
in in fee simple, subject only to existing easements and rights of
way which do not substantially interfere with the utilization of
the mortgaged property for the purposes intended, and that it
warrants and will defend said title to the Trustee, its successors
and assigns, for the benefit of the holders and owners of the bonds
against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever. The
City covenants that it will do, execute, acknowledge and deliver
or cause to be done, executed, acknowledged and delivered, such
Indenture or Indentures supplemental hereto and such further acts,
instruments, and transfers as the Trustee may reasonably require

cause to be paid all lawful taxes, charges, assessments, imposts
and governmental charges at any time levied or assessed upon or
against the mortgaged property, or any part thereof, which might
impair or prejudice the line and priority of this Indenture;
provided, however, that nothing contained in this section shall
require the City to cause to be paid any such taxes, assessments,
imposts or charges so long as the validity thereof is being con-
tested in good faith and by appropriate legal proceedings, and,
provided, also, that such delay in payment shall not subject the
mortgaged property or any part thereof to forfeiture or sale.
Section 405. The City covenants that it will at all times
cause to be maintained, preserved and kept the mortgaged property
in good condition, repair and working order, and that it will from

ducted properly and so that the mortgaged property shall be fully
maintained.
Section 406. The City covenants that it will cause this
Indenture, and all indentures supplemental thereto, to be kept re-
corded and filed in such manner and in such places as may be re-
quired by law in order to fully preserve and protect the security of
the holders and owners of the bonds and the rights of the Trustee
hereunder.
Section 407. The City covenants that so long as any bonds
issued hereunder and secured by this Indenture shall be outstanding
and unpaid, the City will keep, or cause to be kept, proper books

outstanding hereunder, such ownership and the authority of any such
designated representative to be evidenced to the satisfaction of the
Trustee.

has been leased to Strickland under a Lease and Agreement wherein the
City is Lessor and Strickland is Lessee (called the "Lease Agreement°').
The Lease Agreement is recorded in the office of the Circuit Clerk
and Ex Officio Recorder of Pulaski County, Arkansas, and an executed
copy is on file in the office of the City Clerk of the City and in the
office of the Trustee. Reference is hereby made to the Lease Agree-
ment for a detailed statement of the terms and conditions thereof
and for a statement of the rights and obligations of the parties
thereunder. The lien of this Indenture is subject and subordinate
to the Lease Agreement. The City agrees, upon the request of the
Trustee, to enforce all covenants and obligations of the Lessee

G E Q -3�
i
the mortgaged property, except in accordance with the provisions of
the Lease Agreement, and that it will not encumber the same, or any
part thereof, or its interest therein, or create or permit to be
created any charge or lien on the revenues derived therefrom, except
as provided in this Indenture.
Section 411. The City covenants that at all times while
any bonds are outstanding, it will keep or cause to be kept the mort-
gaged property insured against the perils and to the extent set forth

obligations under this Section 411.
ARTICLE V
REVENUES AND FUNDS
Section 501. The bonds herein authorized are not general
obligations of the City but are special obligations payable solely
from revenues and income derived from the mortgaged property and
the bonds are secured by a mortgage on the mortgaged property.
Section 502. There is hereby created and ordered to be
established with the Trustee a trust fund of and in the name of the
City to be designated "Industrial Development Revenue Bond Retirement
Fund - Strickland Project" (herein sometimes referred to as the "Bond
Fund ").
Section 503. There shall be deposited into the Bond Fund
out of the total sale proceeds the amount specified in Section 601(a)
hereof. In addition, there shall be deposited into the Bond Fund
as and when received:
(a) The amount remaining in the Construction
Fund (hereafter created) after all costs and
expenses of and in connection with the Project
have been paid;
(b) All basic rent payments specified in Sec-
tion 203 of the Lease Agreement; and
(c) All other moneys received by the Trustee
under and pursuant to any of the provisions of
the Lease Agreement directing such moneys to

the bonds secured by this Indenture are outstanding, it will at all
times deposit, or cause to be deposited, in the Bond Fund sufficient
moneys from revenues and income derived from the Project (whether
or not under and pursuant to the Lease Agreement) to promptly meet
and pay the principal of and interest on the bonds as the same be-
come due and payable, and to this end the City covenants and agrees
that, so long as any bonds secured by this Indenture are outstanding,
it will cause the Project to be continuously and efficiently operated
as a revenue and income producing undertaking, and that should there
be a default under the Lease Agreement with the result that the right
of possession of the leased premises is returned to the City, the
City will fully cooperate with the Trustee and with the holders and
registered owners of the bonds, to the end of fully protecting the
rights and security of the holders and registered owners of the bonds,
and, if and when requested by the Trustee, the City shall diligently
proceed in good faith and use its best efforts to secure another
tenant for the leased premises to the end of at all times deriving
sufficient revenues and income from the Project to promptly meet and
pay the principal of and interest on the bonds as the same become
due and payable. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring the
City to use any funds or revenues from any source other than funds
and revenues derived from the Project for the payment of the princi-
pal of and interest on the bonds and discharging other obligations
of the City under this Trust Indenture, but nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the City from doing so.
Section 504. Moneys in the Bond Fund shall be used solely
for the payment of the principal of, interest on and Paying Agent's
fees in connection with the bonds either at maturity or at redemption
prior to maturity; provided, however, that such provision shall not
be construed as prohibiting a refund to the Lessee under the Lease
Agreement of excess basic rents, if any, in accordance with the pro-
visions of Section 203 of the Lease Agreement.
Section 505. The Bond Fund shall be in the name of the
City, designated as set forth in Section 502, and the City hereby
irrevocably authorizes and directs the Trustee and Paying Agent to
withdraw from the Bond Fund sufficient funds to meet the principal
of and interest on the bonds as the same become due and payable,
and to use said funds for the purpose of paying said principal and
interest, which authorization and direction the Trustee hereby
accepts.
Section 506. In the event any bonds shall not be pre-
sented for payment when the principal thereof becomes due, either
at maturity or otherwise, or at the date fixed for redemption there-
of, or in the event any coupon shall not be presented for payment
at the due date thereof, if there shall have been deposited with
the Paying Agent for the purpose, or left in trust if previously
so deposited, funds sufficient to pay the principal thereof to-
gether with all interest unpaid and due thereon, to the date of
maturity thereof, or to the date fixed for redemption thereof, or
to pay such coupon, as the case may be, for the benefit of the
bolder thereof or the holder of such coupon, all liability of the
City to the holder thereof for the payment of the principal there-
of and interest thereon, or to the holder of said .overdue coupon..
for the payment thereof, as the case may be, shall forthwith cease,
determine and be completely discharged, and thereupon it shall be
the duty of the Paying Agent to hold such fund or funds, without
liability for interest thereon, for the benefit of the holder of
such bond, or the holder of such coupon, as the case may be, who
shall thereafter be restricted exclusively to such fund or funds,
for any claim of whatever nature on his part under this Indenture
or on, or with respect to, said bond or coupon.
Sec tion_507. It is understood and agreed that pursuant
to the provisions of Section 203(b) of the Lease Agreement, the
Lessee agrees to pay as additional rent the fees and expenses of the
Paying Agent for the bonds and charges and expenses payable to the
Trustee as authorized and provided by this Indenture. Said Lessee
is to make payments on statements rendered by the Paying Agent and
the Lessee. All such additional rent payments under the Lease Agree-
ment which are received by the Trustee shall not be paid into the
Bond Fund, but shall be set up in separate accounts appropriately
designated to identify the particular account and shall be expended
solely for the purpose for which such payments are received, and the
Trustee and Paying Agent hereby agrees to so establish said accounts
and to make payment therefrom for said purposes.
Sec_ tion, 508. All moneys required to be deposited with or
paid to the Trustee and Paying Agent under any provision of this
Indenture shall be held by the Trustee and Paying Agent in trust, and
except for moneys deposited with or paid to the Trustee and Paying
Agent for the redemption of bonds, notice of which redemption has
been duly given, shall, while held by the Trustee and Paying Agent,
constitute part of the trust estate and be subject to the lien hereof.
Any moneys received by or paid to the Trustee pursuant to-any pro-
vision of the Lease Agreement calling for the Trustee to hold, ad-
minister and disburse the same in accordance with the specific pro-
'A . . 1P
visions of the Lease Agreement shall be held, administered and dis-
bursed pursuant to said provision, and where required by the pro-
visions of the Lease Agreement the Trustee shall set the same aside
in a separate account. The City agrees that if it shall receive any
moneys pursuant to applicable provisions of the Lease Agreement, it
will forthwith upon receipt thereof pay the same over to the Trustee
to be held, administered and disbursed by the Trustee in accordance
with the provisions of the Lease Agreement pursuant to which the
City may have received the same. furthermore, if for any reason the
Lease Agreement ceases to be in force and effect while any bonds are
outstanding, the City agrees that if it shall receive any moneys de-
rived from the mortgaged property, it will forthwith upon receipt
thereof pay the same over to the Trustee to be held, administered and
disbursed by the Trustee in accordance with provisions of the Lease
Agreement which would be applicable to such moneys if the Lease
Agreement were then in force and effect, and if there be no such pro-
visions which would be so applicable, then the Trustee shall hold,
administer and disburse such moneys solely for the discharge of the
City's obligations under this Indenture.
ect;o 509. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, the Trustee is authorized and directed to refund to the Lessee
of the Lease Agreement all excess amounts as specified in the Lease
Agreement, whether such excess amounts be in the Bond Fund or in
special accounts.
Section 510. It is understood that a Debt Service Reserve
is to be maintained in the Bond Fund in the amount of Sixty Thousand
Dollars ($60,000). If at any time while the bonds are outstanding
for any reason the moneys in the Bond Fund, exclusive of the Debt
Service Reserve, shall be insufficient to meet when due any interest
and /or principal payment on the bonds, the Debt Service Reserve, or
the required portion thereof, shall be used to the extent necessary
to make said interest and /or principal payment. If so used, the
Debt Service Reserve shall be reimbursed from the first available
moneys in the Bond Fund not required for current principal and
interest payments to the required amount. All moneys in the Debt
Service Reserve shall be invested in accordance with the provisions
of Article VII of this Indenture.

(10 %) in aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding hereunder.
The term "default" shall mean default by the City in
the performance or observance of any of the covenants, agreements or
conditions on its part contained in this Indenture, or in the bonds
ax„Qutatanding hereunder, exclusive of any period of grace required to
c tlxute a default an "event of default19 as hereinabove provided.
Section 1002. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
the TruakAw may, and upon the. written request of the holders of
coo
/-? -a
y s
twenty -five per cent (25 %) in aggregate principal amount of bonds
outstanding hereunder, shall, by notice in writing delivered to the
City, declare the principal of all bonds hereby secured then out-
standing and the interest accrued thereon immediately due and payable,
and such principal and interest shall thereupon become and be
immediately due and payable.
Section 1003. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
the City, upon demand of the Trustee, shall forthwith surrender to it
the actual possession of, and it shall be lawful for the Trustee,
by such officer or agent as it may appoint, to take possession of,

accounts of the City pertaining thereto and to hold, operate and
manage the same, and from time to time to make all needful repairs
and improvements as by the Trustee shall be deemed wise; and the Trus-
tee, with or without such permission, may collect, receive and seques-
ter the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income, products and
profits therefrom and out of the same and any moneys received from any
receiver of any part thereof pay, and /or set up proper reserves for

the moneys so received by the Trustee in accordance with the provi-
sions of Section 1008 hereof. Whenever all that is due upon such bonds
and installments of interest under the terms of this Indenture shall
have been paid and all defaults made good, the Trustee shall surrender
possession to the City,its successors or assigns; the same right of
i
f '
I " to
entry, however, to exist upon any subsequent event of default.
While in possession of such property the Trustee shall
render annually to the bondholders, at their addresses as set forth
in the list required by Section 408 hereof, a summarized statement of
income and expenditures in connection therewith.
Section 1004. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
the Trustee may, as an alternative, proceed either after entry or
without entry, to pursue any available remedy by suit at law or equity
to enforce the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds
then outstanding hereunder, including, without limitation,foreclosure
and mandamus.
If an event of default shall have occurred, and if it shall
have been requested so to do by the holders of twenty -five per cent
(25%) in aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding hereunder
and shall have been indemnified as provided in Section 1101 hereof,
the Trustee shall be obliged to exercise such one or more of the
rights and powers conferred upon it by this Section and by Section
1003 as the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall deem most ex-
pedient in the interests of the bondholders.
No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee (,or to the bondholders) is intended to be ex-
clusive of any other remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be
cumulative and shall be in addition to any other remedy given hereun-
der or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.
No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accru-
ing upon any default or event of default shall impair any such right
or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or
event of default or acquiescence therein; and every such right and
power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deem-
ed expedient.
No waiver of any default or event of default hereunder,
whether by the Trustee or by the bondholders, shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent default or event of default or shall impair any
rights or remedies consequent thereon.
Section 1005. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of bonds outstanding hereunder shall have the right, at any
time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and de-
livered to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting
all proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of
the terms and conditions of this Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or any other proceedings hereunder; provided that such
direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with the pro-
visions of law and of this Trust Indenture.
Section 1006. Upon the occurrence of an event of default,
and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial pro-
ceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the bondholders
under this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of
right, to the appointment of a receiver or receivers of the mortgaged
property and of the tolls, rents, revenues, issues, earnings, income,
products and profits thereof, pending such proceedings with such
powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.
Section 1007. In case of an event of default on its part,
as aforesaid, to the extent that such rights may then lawfully be
waived, neither the City nor anyone claiming through it or under it
shall or will set up, claim, or seek to take advantage of any appraise
r=t, valuation, stay, extension or redemption laws now or hereafter
in force, in order to prevent or hinder the enforcement of this Inden-
ture, but the City, for itself and all who may-claim through or under
it,hereby waives, to the extent that it lawfully may do so, the bene-
fit of all such laws and all right of appraisement and redemption to
which it may be entitled under the laws of the State of Arkansas.
Section 1005. Available moneys shall be applied by the
Trustee as follows:
(a) Unless the principal of all the bonds shall have
become or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys
shall be applied:
First: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of all
installments of interest then due, 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 pay-
ment ratably,according to the amounts due on such installment,to the
persons entitled thereto,without any discrimination or privilege;
Second: To the payment to the persons entitled thereto of
the unpaid principal of any of the bonds which shall have become due
(other than bonds called for redemption for the payment of which
moneys are held pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture),in the
order of their due dates, with interest on such bonds from the re-
spective dates upon which they become due, and, if the amount avail-
able shall not be sufficient to pay in full bonds due on any particu-
lar date, together with such interest, then to the payment ratably,
according to the amount of principal due on such date, to the persons
entitled thereto without any discrimination or privilege; and
Third: To the payment of the interest on and the principal
of the bonds, and to the redemption of bonds, all in accordance with
the provisions of Article V of this Indenture.
(b) If the principal of all the bonds shall have become
due or shall have been declared due and payable, all such moneys
shall be applied to the payment of the principal and interest then
due and unpaid upon the bonds, without preference or priority of
principal over interest or of interest over principal, 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.
(c) If the principal of all the bonds shall have been
declared due and payable, and if such declaration shall thereafter
have been rescinded and annulled under the provisions of this Article,
then, subject to the provisions of paragraph (b) of this Section in
the event that the principal of all the bonds shall later become due
or be declared due and payable,the moneys shall be applied in accord-
ance with the provisions of paragraph (a) of this Section.
Whenever moneys are to be applied by the Trustee pursuant
to the provisions of this Section, such moneys shall be applied by it
at such times, and from time to time, as it shall determine, having
due regard to the amount of such moneys available for application and
the likelihood of additional moneys becoming available for such appli-
cation in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply such funds, it
shall fix the date (which shall be an interest payment date unless it
shall deem another date more suitable) upon which such application is
to be made and upon such date interest on the amounts of principal to
be paid on such dates shall cease to accrue. The Trustee shall give
such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it of any
such moneys and of the fixing of any such date, and shall not be re-
quired to make payment to the holder of any unpaid coupon or any bond
until such coupon or such bond and all unmatured coupons, if any,
appertaining to such bond shall be presented to the Trustee for appro-
priate endorsement or for cancellation if fully paid.

shall be for the equal benefit of the holders of the outstanding
bonds and coupons.

remedy hereunder, unless a default has occurred of which the-Trustee.

otherwise in respect of the premises.
(k) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture
contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be re-
quired, to demand, in respect of the authentication of any bonds,
the withdrawal of any cash, the release of any property, or any ac
tion whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any showings,
certificates, opinions, appraisals, or other information, or corpo-
rate action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms
hereof required as a condition of such action by the Trustee deemed
desirable for the purpose of establishing the right of the City to
the authentication of any bonds, the withdrawal of any cash, the
release of any property, or the taking of any other action by the
Trustee.
(1) Before taking such action hereunder, the Trustee may
require that it be furnished an indemnity bond satisfactory to it for
•
the reimbursement to it of all expenses to which it may be put and
to protect it against all liability, except liability which is ad-
judicated to have resulted from the negligence or willful default of
the Trustee, by reason of any action so taken by the Trustee.
Section 1102. The Trustee shall be entitled to payment
and /or reimbursement for its reasonable fees for services rendered
hereunder and all advances, counsel fees and other expenses reason-
ably and necessarily made or incurred by the Trustee in and about
the execution of the trusts created by this Indenture and in and
about the exercise and performance by the Trustee of the powers
and duties of the Trustee hereunder, and for all reasonable and
necessary costs and expenses incurred in defending any liability
in the premises of any character whatsoever (unless such liability
is adjudicated to have resulted from the negligence or willful
default of the Trustee). The City has made provision in the Lease
Agreement for the payment of said reasonable and necessary advances,
fees, costs and expenses and reference is hereby made to said Lease
Agreement for the provisions so made. In this regard, it is under-
stood that the City pledges no funds or revenues other than those
provided for in said Lease Agreement and the revenues derived from
and the avails of the mortgaged property to the payment of any obli-
gation of the City set forth in this Indenture, including the obliga-
tions set forth in this Section 1102, but nothing herein shall be
construed as prohibiting the City from using any other funds and
revenues for the payment of any of its obligations under this
Indenture. Upon default by the City, but only upon default,
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture pertaining to
default, the Trustee shall have a first lien
y r
with right of payment prior to payment on account of principal or
interest of any bond issued hereunder upon the mortgaged property
for said reasonable and necessary advances, fees, costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee.
Section 1103. If a default occurs of which the Trustee
is by sub - section (g) of Section 1101 hereof required to take
notice or if notice of default be given it as in said sub - section
(g) provided, then the Trustee shall give written notice thereof,
by mail to the last known owners of all bonds outstanding hereunder
shown by the list of bondholders required by the terms of Section
'408 hereof to be kept at the office of the Trustee.
Section 1104. In any judicial proceeding to which the
City is a party and which in the opinion of the-Trustee and its
counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of owners of
bonds issued hereunder, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of bond-
holders and shall do so if requested in writing by the owners of at
least ten per cent (10 %) of the aggregate principal amount of bonds
outstanding hereunder. The rights and obligations of the Trustee
under this Section are subject to the approval of the court having
jurisdiction in the premises.
Section 1105. Any corporation or association into which
the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be con-
solidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and
assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or
association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, con-
solidation or transfer to which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be
,inn become successor trustee hereunder and vested with all of the
c -*_t;l.e to the whole property or trust estate and all the trusts,
;powers, discretions, immunities, privileges, and all other matters
s u
as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any in-
strument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any
of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Section 1106. The Trustee and any successor trustee may
at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving thirty
(30) days' written notice to the City, and such resignation shall
take effect at the end of such thirty (30) days, or upon the earlier
appointment of a successor trustee by the bondholders or by the City.
Such notice may be served personally or sent by registered mail.
Section 1107. The Trustee may be removed at any time by
an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the
Trustee and to the City, and signed by the owners of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of bonds outstanding hereunder.
lectioon 1108. In case the Trustee hereunder shall resign
or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in course of dissolution
or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder,
or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer
or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may
be appointed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of bonds outstanding hereunder, by an instrument or con-
current instruments in writing signed by such owners, or by their
attorneys in fact, duly authorized; provided, nevertheless, that in
case of such vacancy the City by an instrument executed and signed
by its Mayor and attested by its City Clerk under its seal, may
appoint a temporary trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor
trustee shall be appointed by the bondholders in the manner above
provided; and any such temporary trustee so appointed by the City
sha"A.l immediately and without further act be superseded by the
trustee so appointed by such bondholders. Every such temporary
trustee so appointed by the City shall be a trust company or bank in
good standing, having capital and surplus of not less than Three
Million Dollars ($3,000,000), if there be such an institution willing,
qualified and able to accept the trust upon reasonable or customary
terms.
Section 110Q. Every successor trustee appointed hereunder
shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also
to the City 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 City, or of its successor trustee, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor 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 instru-
ment in writing from the City be required by any successor trustee
for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the estates,
rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested
in the predecessor trustee, any and all such instruments in writing
shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
City. The resignation of any trustee and the instrument or in-
struments removing any trustee and appointing a successor hereunder
together with all other instruments provided for in this Article
shall, at the expense of the City, be forthwith filed and /or re-
corded by the successor trustee in each recording office where the
Indenture shall have been filed and /or recorded.

pay or to cause to be paid any tax, assessment or governmental or
other charge upon any part of the property herein conveyed, to the
extent, if any, that the City may be liable for same, the Trustee
may pay such tax, assessment or governmental charge, without pte-
judice, however, to any rights of the Trustee or the bondholders
hereunder arising in consequence of such failure; and any amount at
any time so paid under this Section shall be repaid by the City from
the revenues derived from the mortgaged property upon demand, and
shall become so much additional indebtedness secured by this In-
denture, and the same shall be given a preference in payment over any
of said bonds, and shall be paid out of the proceeds of revenues
collected from the mortgaged property if not paid by the City; but
the Trustee shall be under no obligation to make any such payment
unless it shall have been requested to do so by the holders of at
least ten per cent (10%) of the aggregate principal amount of bonds
outstanding hereunder and shall have been provided with adequate
funds for the purpose of such payment.
Section 1111. The resolutions, opinions, certificates
and other instruments provided for in this Indenture may be accepted_

stated therein and shall be full warrant, protection and authority
to the Trustee for the release of property and the withdrawal of
cash hereunder.

trustee the old Trustee which has resigned or been removed shall
cease to be Paying Agent, and the successor Trustee shall become
the Paying Agent.

customary Paying Agent's fees and charges of the Paying Agent for
handling the payment of the principal of and interest on the bonds

be made on principal and interest.
Section 1114. Any bank or trust company with or into which
the Alternate Paying Agent may be merged or consolidated, or to
which the assets and business of such Alternate Paying Agent may be
sold, shall be deemed the successor of such Alternate Paying Agent
for the purposes of this Indenture. If the position of Alternate
Paying Agent shall became vacant for any reason, the City shall,
within thirty (30) days thereafter appoint a bank or trust company
located in the City of Little Rock, Arkansas as Alternate Paying
Agent to fill such vacancy; provided, however, that if the City

(a) to cure any ambiguity or formal defect or omission in this In-
denture or in any supplemental indenture, or (b) to grant to or
confer upon the Trustee for the benefit of the bondholders any
additional rights, remedies, powers, authority or security that
may lawfully be granted to or conferred upon the bondholders or the
Trustee.
At least thirty (30) days prior to the execution of any
supplemental indenture for any of the purposes of this Section,
the Trustee shall cause a notice of the proposed execution of
such supplemental indenture to be mailed, postage prepaid, to all
registered owners and other bondholders whose names and addresses
have been filed with the Trustee. Such notice shall briefly set
forth the nature of the proposed supplemental indenture and shall
state that copies thereof are on file at the principal office of
the Trustee for inspection by all bondholders. A failure on the
part of the Trustee to mail the notice required by this Section
shall not affect the validity of such supplemental indenture.
Section 1202. Subject to the terms and provisions con-
tained in this Section, and not otherwise, the holders of not less
than two- thirds (2/3) in aggregate principal amount of the bonds
then outstanding shall have the right, from time to time, anything
contained in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, to con-
I +
sent to and approve the execution by the City and the Trustee of such
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto as shall be deemed
necessary and desirable by the City for the purpose of modifying,
altering, amending, adding to or rescinding, in any particular, any
of the terms or provisions contained in this Indenture or in any
supplemental indenture; provided, however, that nothing herein con-
tained shall permit, or be construed as permitting (a) an extension
of the maturity of the principal of or the interest on any bond
issued hereunder, or (b) a reduction in the principal amount of any
bond or the rate of interest thereon, or (c) the creation of a lien
upon the mortgaged property or a pledge of the revenues pledged to
the bonds other than the lien and pledge created by this Indenture,
except this subsection (c) shall not be construed as prohibiting
the creation of a lien upon the mortgaged property and a pledge of
said revenues in connection with bonds of the City to finance an
expansion referred to in Section 803 of this Indenture, it being
understood, as therein provided, that any such lien and pledge shall
be subordinate to the lien and pledge created by this Indenture, or
(d) a privilege or priority of any bond or bonds over any other bond
or bonds, or (e) a reduction in the aggregate principal amount of
the bonds required for consent to such supplemental indenture.

necessary the approval of bondholders of the execution of any
supplemental indenture as provided in Section 1201 of this Article.
If at any time the City shall request the Trustee to enter
into any supplemental indenture for any of the purposes of this Sec-
tion, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the City, cause notice

office of the Trustee for inspection by all bondholders. The
Trustee shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any bond-
holder by reason of its failure to publish such notice, and any such
failure shall not affect the validity of such supplemental indenture
when consented to and approved as provided in this Section. If the
holders of not less than two - thirds (2/3) in aggregate principal
amount of the bonds outstanding at the time of the execution of any
such supplemental indenture shall have consented to and approved the
execution thereof as herein provided, no holder of any bond shall
have any 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 Trustee or the City from executing the same or from taking any
action pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the execution of
any such supplemental indenture, this Indenture shall be and be
deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith.
Section 1203. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstand-
ing, a supplemental indenture under this Article XII shall not
become effective unless and until the Lessee under the Lease Agree-
ment 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 supple-
mental indenture together with a copy of the proposed supplemental
indenture to be mailed by certified or registered mail to the Lessee

and a copy of the proposed supplemental indenture to the Lessee under
the Lease Agreement or if the Trustee does not receive a letter signed

or by agent appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such
request, directions, objection or other instrument or of the writing
appointing any such agent and of the ownership of bonds, if made in

ment, namely:
(a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of

witness to such execution.

did exhibit to an officer of such trust company or bank or to such
banker, as the property of such party, the bonds and /or coupons
therein mentioned if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee

trust company, before taking any action based on such ownership.

notice in writing to the contrary.
Section 1402. With the exception of rights herein ex-
pressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied
from this Indenture, or the bonds issued hereunder, is intended or

dictions or in all jurisdictions or in all cases because it conflicts
with any provisions or any constitution or statute or rule of public
policy, or for any other reason, such circumstances shall not have
the effect of rendering the provision in question inoperative or un-
enforceable in any other case or circumstance, or of rendering any
other provision or provisions herein contained invalid, inoperative
or unenforceable to any extent whatever.

clauses or paragraphs in this Indenture contained shall not affect

r
the remaining portions of this Indenture or any part thereof.
