For this purpose, Bond Counsel
shall also include in all subsequent appropriate documents for the
type of bond issue being considered, language substantially as
follows:
"Non-recourse paragraph:
The Issuer's obligations hereunder and under
the Loan Agreement and the Regulatory Agreement
are on a 'non-recourse' basis, and payment of any
amounts which are owed or may become due
hereunder or under the Loan Agreement or
Regulatory Agreement shall not be enforced
against the Issuer or any of its public
officials, officers, employees, agents, or other
personnel, but only against the property which is
subj ect to the Deed of Trust, and any fu rther
security which may, from time to time, be
hypothecated for this Indenture, the Regulatory
Agreement or the Loan Agreement."
"Exculpation of Issuer:
The Issuer will not be liable to the
company, to any bondholder, or to any other
person for, and the company and the trustee, on
behalf of the bondholders, hereby release the
Issuer from all liability to the company, any
bondholder, or any other person, for losses,
costs, damages, expenses and liabilities even if
such losses, costs, damages, expenses and
liabilities directly or indirectly result from,
arise out of or relate to, in whole or in part,
one or more negligent acts or omissions of the
Issuer or any of the officers, directors,
employees, agents, servants or any other party
acting for or on behalf of the Issuer in
connection with the issuance of the bonds or
performance by the Issuer of its obligations
under the indenture, the loan agreement, the
regulatory agreement, or any other agreement
related to the indenture. The Issuer's
obligations hereunder are on a 'non-recourse'
- 12 -
,
basis, and payment of any amounts which are owed
or may become due hereunder shall not be enforced
against the Issuer or any of its public
officials, officers, employees, agents, and other
personnel, but only against the property which is
subject to the Deed of Trust and any other
further security which may, from time to time, be
hypothecated hereunder."
As appropriate, the language shall be changed if the
security is something other than a deed of trust, and if the
documents being utilized are other than a loan agreement and
regulatory agreement. Notice of non-recourse and exculpation of the
issuer provisions shall be prominently included in any official
statement or other equivalent disclosure documents.
Section 19.
The language shall be subject to revision,
as may be appropriate, depending upon the documents involved, the
type of security offered, and other similar considerations, but in
any event language substantially as specified herein shall be
included in all appropriate Bond documents.
In the event that Bond
Counsel recommends against any such language, Bond Counsel sha 11
specifically advise the City that such language not be included with
reasoning therefor.
Unless such request is so made by Bond Counsel
and approved by the City, such language shall be included in all
appropriate Bond documents.
