ARTICLE X

THE TRUSTEE

SECTION 1001. Acceptance of Trusts.

(a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and the Loan Agreement and as a corporate trustee ordinarily would perform such duties under a corporate indenture. Upon the occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default (which has not been waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use in the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereof and perform any of its duties by or through attorneys, agents, receivers or employees but shall be answerable for the conduct of the same in accordance with the standard specified above, and shall be entitled to act upon the opinion or advice of its counsel concerning all matters of trust hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases be reimbursed hereunder for reasonable compensation paid to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may reasonably be employed in connection with the trust hereof.

To the extent permitted by law, such bank of trust company also may receive tenders and purchase in good faith Bonds from itself, including any department, affiliate or subsidiary, with like effect as if it were not the Trustee.

(e) The Trustee shall be protected in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.

The Trustee may accept a certificate of the Secretary of the Authority under its seal to the effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the Authority as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted and is in full force and effect.

(k) Before taking any action under this Indenture, the Trustee may require arrangements satisfactory to it to be made for the payment or reimbursement of all expenses to which it may be put and to protect it against all liability by reason of any action so taken, except liability which results from its negligence or willful default.

(l) All moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust in the manner and for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by this Indenture or law. The Trustee shall not be under any liability for interest on any moneys received hereunder except such as may be agreed upon.

 

28


(m) The Trustee shall cooperate with the Company in the contest, at the expense of the Company, of any condemnation proceeding or contest over title with respect to the Project.

SECTION 1003. Intervention by Trustee. In any judicial proceeding to which the Authority or the Company is a party, which in the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a substantial bearing on the interests of the Bondholders, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of the Bondholders and, subject to Section 1001(k), shall do so if requested by the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding.

SECTION 1004. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation or association into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to which it is a party shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder and vested with all the trusts, powers, discretion, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

SECTION 1008. Concerning any Successor Trustee. Every successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its predecessor and also to the Authority 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 properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Authority, or its successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the properties, rights, powers and trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the Authority be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor the properties, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Authority.

SECTION 1009. Successor Trustee as Paying Agent, Registrar and Custodian of Funds. In the event of a change in the office of Trustee the predecessor Trustee which has resigned or been removed shall cease to be paying agent and registrar for the Bonds and custodian of the funds created hereunder, and the successor Trustee shall become such paying agent and custodian.

Interest is payable (a) from the dated date set forth above, if this Bond is authenticated prior to July 1999, or (b) otherwise from the January 1 or July 1 that is, or immediately precedes, the date on which the Bond is authenticated (unless payment of interest hereon is in default, in which case this Bond shall bear interest from the date to which interest has been paid). Interest is payable by check or draft mailed to the registered owner hereof at his address as it appears on the 15th day of the month preceding each Interest Payment Date on registration books kept by the Trustee; provided, however, that if the Bonds are registered in the name of a securities depository or its nominee as registered owner or at the option of an owner of at least $500,000 principal amount of Bonds, payment will be made by wire transfer pursuant to the most recent wire instructions received by the Trustee from such registered owner. Principal, premium, if any, and interest are payable in lawful money of the United States of America.

NEITHER THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, NOR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, INCLUDING THE AUTHORITY, SHALL BE OBLIGATED TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF OR PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS OR OTHER COSTS INCIDENT THERETO EXCEPT FROM THE REVENUES AND RECEIPTS PLEDGED AND ASSIGNED THEREFOR, AND NEITHER THE FAITH AND CREDIT NOR THE TAXING POWER OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA, OR ANY POLITICAL SUBDIVISION THEREOF, INCLUDING THE AUTHORITY, IS PLEDGED TO THE PAYMENT OF THE PRINCIPAL OF OR PREMIUM, IF ANY, OR INTEREST ON THE BONDS OR OTHER COSTS INCIDENT THERETO. THE AUTHORITY HAS NO TAXING POWER.

All acts, conditions and things required to happen, exist or be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond have happened, exist and have been performed.

This Bond shall not become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Indenture or be valid until the Trustee has executed the Certificate of Authentication appearing hereon and inserted the date of authentication hereon.

This Bond is one of an issue of $8,640,000 First Mortgage Revenue Refunding Bonds (Olde Hampton Hotel Associates Project), Series 1998A (the “Series 1998A Bonds” and collectively with the Authority’s Taxable First Mortgage Revenue Bonds, Series 1998B, the “Bonds”), of like date and tenor, except as to number, denomination, rate of interest, maturity and privilege of redemption, authorized and issued pursuant to the Housing Authorities Law Chapter I, Title 36, Code of Virginia of 1950, as amended (the “Act”). This Bond is executed under and secured by an Indenture of Trust dated as of December 1, 1998 (the “Indenture”), between the Authority and the Trustee, for the purpose of refunding the outstanding principal amount of the Peninsula Ports Authority’s Revenue Refunding Bonds (Olde Hampton Hotel Associates Project), Series 1986, which refinanced a portion of the cost of the acquisition, construction and equipping of a Radisson Hotel complex and a parking garage containing certain retail space all located in the City of Hampton, Virginia (collectively the “Project”) for the benefit of Olde Hampton Hotel Associates, A Virginia Limited Partnership (the “Company”).

As security for the Bonds, the Authority has pledged to the Trustee, and granted the Trustee a security interest in, the Authority’s interest in a Loan Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the “Loan Agreement”), between the Authority and the Company, pursuant to which the Company has delivered its non-recourse promissory notes dated the date of delivery (the “Notes”), in the original principal amounts of $8,640,000 and $390,000 payable to the Authority. The Company

has agreed to pay to the Trustee, for the account of the Authority, amounts sufficient to pay principal of and premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. The Notes are secured by a Deed of Trust and Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the “Deed of Trust”), between the Company and the individual trustees named therein, which creates a lien on the Project, which lien is more fully described in the Deed of Trust, a Security Agreement dated as of December 1, 1998 (the “Security Agreement”) between the Company and the Trustee, which creates a lien on and a security interest in, certain personal property of the Company, as more completely described in the Security Agreement, and an Assignment of Rents and Leases dated as of December 1, 1998 (the “Assignment”) between the Company and the Trustee, which assigns the rents and leases of the Project, as more particularly described in the Assignment.

If the Company exercises its option or is required to prepay the Notes upon damage to, condemnation of or failure of title to the Project or certain other extraordinary events as provided in Section 8.1(a) of the Loan Agreement, the Bonds are required to be redeemed in whole or in part at any time and upon payment of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed plus interest accrued to the redemption date.

The Series 1998A Bonds maturing on July 1, 2016, may be redeemed at the option of the Authority at the direction of the Company as follows.

The Trustee shall provide for redemption of Series 1998A Bonds in accordance with the foregoing schedule; provided, however, that on or before the 70th day next preceding any such sinking fund payment date the Company may:

(a) deliver to the Trustee for cancellation Series 1998A Bonds in any aggregate principal amount desired; or

(b) receive a credit against the sinking fund redemption obligation on such sinking fund payment date for Series 1998A Bonds that previously have been redeemed (other than through the operation of the sinking fund) and canceled by the Trustee but not theretofore applied as a credit against any sinking fund redemption.

Upon the occurrence of any of the events described in (a) or (b) of this Section, the Trustee shall credit against the sinking fund redemption obligation on such sinking fund payment date the amount of such Bonds so delivered or previously redeemed and any excess over such obligation will be credited against future mandatory redemption obligations in inverse order of redemption dates, and the principal amounts of Bonds to be redeemed by mandatory redemption will be reduced accordingly.

If less than all the Bonds are called for extraordinary or optional redemption, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected pro rata among the Holders of the Bonds by the Trustee. If less than all Bonds with the same series designation and maturity are called for redemption, such Bonds to be redeemed shall be provided that the principal portion of any Bonds to be redeemed shall result in the unredeemed portion being in $100,000 denominations or any multiple of $5,000 in excess thereof. If a portion of a Bond shall be called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof shall be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender thereof. If a notice of redemption is unconditional, or if the conditions of a conditional notice of redemption have been satisfied, then upon presentation and surrender of the Bonds so called for redemption at the place or places of payment, such Bonds will be redeemed.

If any of the Bonds or portions thereof are called for redemption, the Trustee shall send a notice of the call for redemption, identifying the Bonds or portions thereof to be redeemed, by registered or certified mail, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date, to the registered owner of each Bond to be redeemed, at his address as it appears on the registration books kept by the Trustee. Provided funds for their redemption are on deposit at the place of

payment on the redemption date, all Bonds so called for redemption shall cease to bear interest on such date, shall no longer be secured by the Indenture and shall not be deemed to be outstanding under the terms of the Indenture. If a portion of this Bond is called for redemption, a new Bond in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued to the registered owner upon the surrender hereof.

The registered owner of this Bond shall have no right to enforce the provisions of the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein or to take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture or to institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceedings with respect thereto, except as provided in the Indenture. In certain events, on conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture, the principal of all the Bonds issued under the Indenture and then outstanding may become or may be declared due and payable before their stated maturity, together with interest accrued thereon. Modifications or alterations of the Indenture may be made only to the extent and in the circumstances permitted by the Indenture.

The Bonds are issuable as fully registered Bonds in denominations of $5,000 and multiples thereof. Upon surrender of this Bond at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, together with an assignment duly executed by the registered owner or his duly authorized attorney or legal representative in such form as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee, the Authority shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange, a new Bond or Bonds in the manner and subject to the limitations and conditions provided in the Indenture, having an equal aggregate principal amount, in authorized denominations, of the same series, form and maturity, bearing interest at the same rate, and registered in names as requested by the then registered owner hereof or his duly authorized attorney or legal representative. Any such exchange shall be at the expense of the Company, except that the Trustee may charge the person requesting such exchange the amount of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect thereto.

The Trustee shall treat the registered owner as the person exclusively entitled to payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and the exercise of all other rights and powers of the owner, except that as set forth above interest payments shall be made to the person shown as owner on the 15th day of the month preceding each Interest Payment Date.

All acts, conditions and things required to happen, exist or be performed precedent to and in the issuance of this Bond have happened, exist and have been performed.

This Bond shall not become obligatory for any purpose or be entitled to any security or benefit under the Indenture or be valid until the Trustee has executed the Certificate of Authentication appearing hereon and inserted the date of authentication hereon.
