THE INDENTURE, INCLUDING THIS FIFTY-FIRST SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE, is intended to operate and is to be construed as a deed passing title to the Trust Estate and is made under the provisions of the laws of the State of Georgia relating to deeds to secure debt, and not as a mortgage or deed of trust, and is given to secure the Outstanding Secured Obligations.  Should the indebtedness secured by the Indenture be paid according to the tenor and effect thereof when the same shall become due and payable and should the Company perform all covenants contained in the Indenture in a timely manner, then the Indenture shall be canceled and surrendered.

 

AND IT IS HEREBY COVENANTED AND DECLARED that the Notes are to be authenticated and delivered and the Trust Estate is to be held and applied by the Trustee, subject to the covenants, conditions and trusts set forth herein and in the Indenture, and the Company
