 The Connecticut Company agrees from time to time, as op- 
 portunity offers, to acquire at reasonable prices as many as 
 may be of the above-named underlying bonds outstanding 
 in the hands of the public, and to deliver such bonds, when so 
 acquired by it, to the Trustee, to be held by the Trustee for 
 the further security of the holders of the bonds issued under 
 this mortgage, which bonds shall be by the Trustee held un- 
 canceled until all the bonds of any such underlying issue 
 shall have been purchased, paid for, taken up, exchanged, or 
 replaced, as aforesaid, said bonds, however, to be rendered 
 non-negotiable by stamping upon them the following : — 
 
 This Instrument no Longer Negotiable. 
 
 Property of the Colonial Trust Company, Trustee, under 
 the provisions of the mortgage of Connecticut Railway and 
 Lighting Company to the Colonial Trust Company, dated 
 January 15th, 1901. 
 
 COLONIAL TRUST COMPANY, 
 
 Trustee. 
 
 And said bonds so delivered to the Trustee, to be held un- 
 canceled as aforesaid, shall be held by the Trustee until can- 
 celed as hereinafter provided, as further security to the hold- 
 ers of the bonds issued hereunder, and as collateral thereto, 
 and also for the benefit and the protection of the Connecti- 
 cut Company and its successors. And the mortgages or 
 deeds of trust given to secure the payment of the bonds 
 which shall be so delivered to the Trustee, to be by it held 
 
102 
 
 uncanceled as aforesaid, shall remain in full force and effect 
 in all respects until the bonds, to secure the payment of 
 which said mortgages or deeds of trust were originally ex- 
 ecuted, shall have been all canceled, as hereinafter provided ; 
 and such mortgages or deeds of trust and the bonds secured 
 thereby and delivered to the Trustee as aforesaid, shall re- 
 tain all their priorities, rights, benefits, privileges and legal 
 incidents as fully as if this instrument had not been executed ; 
 and the Trustee may, as the holder of such uncanceled bonds, 
 enforce the said mortgages or deeds of trust, executed to 
 secure the payment of the same, respectively, whenever and 
 in such manner as it may deem necessary and proper in order 
 to protect the parties interested therein as aforesaid, and the 
 Connecticut Company, from the holders of similar bonds, 
 who shall not have substituted therefor the bonds hereby pro- 
 vided for, and from all other parties whomsoever; and for that 
 purpose the Trustee is hereby appointed the agent of the 
 Connecticut Company and of all the parties interested, as afore- 
 said, in said bonds so to be held uncanceled, with full and ade- 
 quate powers in the premises. The Trustee shall, until default, 
 pay to the Connecticut Company the interest, if any, received 
 by it upon any of said underlying bonds delivered to it here- 
 under. 
 
 But whenever all the bonds of any underlying issue, se- 
 cured by said mortgages or deeds of trust, shall have been 
 delivered to the Trustee, it shall be the duty of the Trustee to 
 cancel or procure the cancellation of the same, unless the 
 Connecticut Company shall request to have them kept alive 
 for the purpose of perfecting its title to any of the property 
 upon which the same were secured, in which event it is agreed 
 that the same may be used by the Connecticut Company for 
 the purpose of perfecting, through foreclosure, or other- 
 wise, its said title ; Provided , however , that the lien hereof is 
 in no event to be displaced or in any manner affected by any 
 such proceedings ; but any and all title that the Connecticut 
 Company may acquire through or by means of any proceeding 
 upon such mortgages or deeds of trust shall be subject and 
 subordinate to the lien of these presents, and the Connecticut 
 
Company hereby covenants and agrees that any title it may 
 so acquire shall be by it conveyed at once to the Trustee by a 
 proper deed of further assurance ; Provided , however , that the 
 Connecticut Company shall have the right at any time to make 
 demand upon the Trustee for the cancellation by it of any 
 of said underlying bonds, which demand shall be expressed by 
 a resolution of the board of directors of the Connecticut Com- 
 pany, and upon the receipt of a duly certified copy of said res- 
 olution, the Trustee shall thereupon cancel the bonds so re- 
 quested to be canceled. 
 
 Upon such delivery to the Trustee of any of the said under- 
 lying bonds which have been heretofore, or may hereafter be, 
 acquired by the Connecticut Company, it shall be entitled to 
 receive from the Trustee an equivalent amount at par out of 
 the above-mentioned one million four hundred and ten thou- 
 sand eight hundred dollars ($1,410,800) of the bonds hereby 
 secured. 
 
 It is hereby agreed that the foregoing one million four hun- 
 dred and ten thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,410,800), . 
 at par, of underlying bonds shall be taken up at their 
 maturity, and that their time of payment shall not be extended. 
 Upon the maturing of any of said underlying bonds not so 
 acquired by the Connecticut Company, or upon any earlier 
 date at which they may be redeemable or called, the Trustee 
 shall sell an equal amount in par value of the one million 
 four hundred and ten thousand eight hundred dollars 
 ($1,410,800) of the bonds hereby secured and reserved as 
 shall remain undisposed of as aforesaid, at public or private 
 sale, as and when requested by the Connecticut Company, 
 and out of the proceeds of such sale shall pay off and dis- 
 charge, so far as the same are sufficient, such unacquired 
 underlying bonds and pay the balance over to said Connecticut 
 Company; and if the proceeds of such bonds shall not be suffi- 
 cient to pay in full said underlying bonds then unacquired, 
 the Connecticut Company shall pay to said Trustee in cash 
 the amount of any such deficiency for application by said 
 Trustee to the payment of said underlying bonds. All of 
 said underlying bonds constituting any of the above-men- 
 
tioned issues, when received in exchange as aforesaid, or when 
 paid, shall be surrendered to and canceled by the Trustee, 
 which shall, as soon as practicable, cause the mortgages secur- 
 ing the same respectively to be satisfied and discharged of 
 record. 
 
 In case any of the above-mentioned outstanding bonds for 
 the payment and retirement of which the said one million 
 four hundred and ten thousand eight hundred dollars 
 $1,410,800), at par, of the said bonds secured by this mort- 
 gage are to be retained uncertified by said Trustee, as aforesaid, 
 shall be found to have been discharged, paid off, or retired in 
 any way, so that the same are no longer outstanding valid 
 obligations, then and in every such case the bonds included in 
 the above-mentioned one million four hundred and ten 
 thousand eight hundred dollars ($1,410,800), at par, which 
 otherwise would be applied, as above provided, to purchase or 
 pay for, take up or replace such bonds so found to have been 
 purchased, exchanged, or paid for, taken up, or replaced, shall 
 be held by said Trustee, and shall be added to the five million 
 six hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($5,650,000), at par, of 
 bonds to be retained by said Trustee, as in subdivision 3 of this 
 article provided, and shall be delivered by said Trustee to the 
 said Connecticut Company upon the same terms, in the same 
 manner, and for the same purposes therein prescribed with 
 respect to the said five million six hundred and fifty thousand 
 dollars ($5,650,000), at par, of said bonds. 
 
 3. The balance, being five million six hundred and fifty 
 thousand dollars ($5,650,000), at par, of said bonds, shall be 
 retained by the Trustee, and shall be certified and delivered 
 from time to time by the Trustee, and shall be used by the 
 Connecticut Company only for the purposes of acquiring 
 other like plants or property, real or personal, from com- 
 panies authorized to manufacture, use, or sell gas, electricity, 
 or water, and also to such extent as said corporation shall be 
 legally authorized so to use the same for the purposes of mak- 
 ing additions to or extensions or betterments of its plants : Pro- 
 vided , however , That no part of the bonds in this subdivision 
 referred to shall be used in the acquisition of the plants and 
 
105 
 
 property of any corporation authorized to manufacture, use, or 
 sell gas, electricity, or water as a going concern, either by pur- 
 chase of its physical property or assets or of its capital stock, 
 unless the plant and property of such company shall, when 
 acquired, be free from any mortgage, or lien, or debt, other 
 than current liabilities. 
 
 The Trustee shall not deliver any of the bonds in this sub- 
 division 3 referred to, except upon resolution of the board of 
 directors of the Connecticut Company calling for such deliv- 
 ery and stating the purposes for which they are to be used, 
 and, in the case of the making of additions, extensions, or 
 betterments, as aforesaid, that the actual cost thereof to the 
 Connecticut Company is such as legally justifies the delivery of 
 the bonds called for for the purpose of making said additions, 
 extensions, or betterments, and in the case of the acquisition 
 of plants or other property, as aforesaid, that the actual cost 
 thereof to the Connecticut Company is more than the par value 
 of the bonds called for for the purpose of the acquisition of such 
 plant and property, and a copy of any such resolution, duly cer- 
 tified by the secretary of the Connecticut Company, shall in 
 case of every such call be presented to the said Trustee, and 
 shall be evidence to the Trustee of the said call and of the 
 purposes for which the said bonds are to be used, and of the 
 further facts therein stated, as above provided. 
 
 The Trustee shall not be in anywise responsible for the 
 application of any bonds or the proceeds of any bonds which 
 may be certified and delivered by it in accordance herewith. 
 
 It is further covenanted by the Connecticut Company that 
 it will deliver to the Trustee all shares of stock purchased by 
 it with the proceeds of bonds as hereinbefore provided, and 
 that with said shares of stock delivered from time to time 
 by the Connecticut Company to said Trustee, said Connecti- 
 cut Company will deliver to the Trustee assignments, duly 
 executed, accompanied by irrevocable powers of attorney, for 
 the transfer or registration of the same in the name of the 
 Trustee. Said powers of attorney shall not in any case be ex- 
 ercised and no transfers or registrations shall be made under 
 the same excepting in pursuance of the provisions hereof. 
 
io6 
 
 It is further covenanted that until default in the payment 
 of the principal or interest of the bonds hereby secured, or in 
 any other provision of this mortgage, said Connecticut Com- 
 pany may have and exercise all the rights of ownership of 
 said shares of stock delivered to the Trustee hereunder, except 
 the right of transfer or possession of such shares of stock, the 
 same as if this indenture had not been made ; but nothing 
 herein contained shall be construed to in any way control, im- 
 pair, or in any way to direct the corporate action of any such 
 company, or the discharge of its duties or functions in the or- 
 dinary way. It is expressly understood and agreed, however, 
 that the voting power of the company upon any of the shares 
 of stock delivered hereunder shall not be used or exercised 
 for the purpose of authorizing an increase in the capital stock 
 of any of said companies, or any lien, security, or charge to 
 be created or imposed upon the property or franchises of 
 any of said companies. In case of the failure on the part of 
 the Connecticut Company to comply with these limitations 
 or restrictions it shall be within the power of the Trustee 
 to cause the shares of stock of the companies whose shares 
 of stock shall be delivered hereunder to be actually trans- 
 ferred upon the books thereof into its name. In such 
 event it may thereafter give proxies or powers of attorney 
 from time to time to the Connecticut Company to vote upon 
 said shares of stock, and such proxies or powers of attor- 
 ney shall be given subject to all the limitations herein im- 
 posed upon the Connecticut Company with regard to voting 
 upon said shares of stock ; in all other respects the shares 
 thus transferred into the name of the Trustee shall be held 
 subject to all the rights of the Connecticut Company to divi- 
 dends, as hereinafter provided, until default. No provision 
 of this mortgage shall be construed to prohibit the Con- 
 necticut Company, before default and transfer of shares de- 
 livered hereunder, from receiving and holding and .disposing 
 of, free from all trusts, the dividends and other income which 
 may be paid upon said shares of stock, saving to such extent 
 as is hereinabove specifically prohibited. Nothing herein con- 
 tained shall interfere, until default as above mentioned, with 
 
107 
 
 the Connecticut Company, as stockholder of the said shares 
 of stock delivered hereunder, in voting upon said shares of 
 stock for the sale to the Connecticut Company of the prop- 
 erty of said companies whose shares are delivered hereunder, 
 nor the merger or consolidation of said companies, with the 
 Connecticut Company : Provided , however , that this mortgage 
 shall become a first lien upon the property of said companies so 
 sold, merged, or consolidated with the Connecticut Company. 
 
 5. Before certifying or delivering any bonds, the coupons 
 thereon then matured shall be cut off, canceled, and delivered 
 to the Connecticut Company. 
 
 Article II. 
 
 So long as no default shall be made in the payment of the 
 principal or interest, or any part thereof, payable upon the bonds 
 hereby secured, as the same shall respectively become due and 
 payable, or in the performance of the covenants herein contained 
 to be performed by the Connecticut Company, the Connecticut 
 Company shall be suffered and permitted by the Trustee to re- 
 main in full possession, enjoyment, and control of all the plants, 
 franchises, privileges, and other property, real, personal, and 
 mixed, herein expressed to be hereby mortgaged, and shall be 
 permitted to manage the same, and to receive, receipt for, take, 
 use, enjoy, and dispose of the rents, tolls, earnings, profits, 
 revenues, and income thereof in the same manner and with 
 the same effect as if this indenture had not been made, with 
 the right at all times, as the proper management of the busi- 
 ness of the Connecticut Company may require, to alter, change, 
 add to, repair, and remove the buildings, machinery, and ap- 
 pliances appurtenant to, or used in connection with the plants 
 or railways of the Connecticut Company, whether situate on 
 its lands or in the streets, alleys, lanes, roads, places, build- 
 ings, public or private, or elsewhere, constructed or owned, or 
 hereafter constructed or acquired, by the Connecticut Com- 
 pany, and conveyed, or intended to be conveyed, hereby to 
 the Trustee, and to sell such portions thereof as may at any 
 time cease to be useful or necessary to the Connecticut Com- 
 pany : Provided , however , That the Connecticut Company 
 
io8 
 
 shall (and it hereby covenants that it will) maintain and pre- 
 serve the value of the mortgaged premises from impairment 
 or reduction, by replacing any of the said property which 
 may be removed or sold, by other property of at least equal 
 value, either before or promptly after such removal or sale, 
 so that the security of the said bonds hereby secured shall 
 not thereby be in anywise reduced or impaired. 
 
 The Connecticut Company shall have the further right 
 at all times, provided no default has been made, as aforesaid, 
 to convey or exchange, freed from the incumbrances and 
 trusts hereof, all or any of the real estate now held, or which 
 shall hereafter be acquired by it, which shall no longer be 
 either useful or necessary in the proper and judicious man- 
 agement and maintenance of its business or of the property 
 hereby conveyed, and make any changes in the location of 
 any of its tracks or any alterations of its routes if, in the 
 opinion of the board of directors of the Connecticut Com- 
 pany, such change or alteration shall be expedient, said 
 opinion to be expressed in a resolution of said board ; but 
 in no case shall any such sale or other disposition of such 
 real estate be made without the express assent in writ- 
 ing of the Trustee; and said Trustee is hereby expressly 
 authorized to release under its seal from the operation 
 and effect of this mortgage any property so sold or ex- 
 changed, whether the consideration of such sale be wholly 
 cash or partly cash and partly secured by a mortgage 
 on the premises sold. The certificate of the president or 
 vice-president, under the seal of the Connecticut Company, 
 attested by the secretary, certifying to the adoption of a reso- 
 lution by the board of directors of the Connecticut Company 
 requesting such release, and a certificate in writing of a real 
 estate broker selected by the Trustee that the value of the 
 property taken in exchange, or the price obtained in case of 
 sale, is the fair and reasonable value thereof, shall be sufficient 
 evidence of the facts to warrant any • such release and shall 
 fully protect the Trustee in respect thereto; but any property 
 so taken in exchange, if such there be, shall forthwith become 
 and be liable under this mortgage as if the same had been 
 
109 
 
 originally included herein; and the net proceeds of real estate 
 so released (if sold) shall be paid over and assigned by the 
 Connecticut Company to the Trustee, and shall be applied 
 by the Trustee with all convenient speed at the election of the 
 Connecticut Company, as follows : Such proceeds shall either 
 (a) be turned over to the Connecticut Company, for applica- 
 tion by it to the betterment or extension of the plants and 
 property owned or controlled by it, upon presentation by the 
 Connecticut Company of a copy of a resolution by its board 
 of directors, duly certified by its secretary, requesting the 
 payment to it of such proceeds and specifying the nature of 
 the betterments or extensions of the plants and property 
 above mentioned, and certifying that the value of such bet- 
 terments or extensions is or will be more than the amount of 
 such proceeds, so that the security of this mortgage shall not 
 thereby be diminished; or else ( b ) shall be applied by the 
 Trustee towards the purchase in open market, from time to 
 time, and at such prices as the Trustee shall deem proper, 
 and as shall be approved by the Connecticut Company, of 
 one or more of the bonds hereby secured, and all bonds so 
 purchased and the coupons thereto appertaining shall be im- 
 mediately canceled, and shall cease to be entitled to the bene- 
 fit of the security hereby provided. It shall be no part of the 
 duty of the Trustee to see to the application by the Con- 
 necticut Company of the proceeds of any property released by 
 the Trustee as herein provided. 
 
 Article III. 
 
 The Connecticut Company, its successors and assigns, shall 
 and will, upon demand in writing of the Trustee, at any time, 
 make, execute, acknowledge, and deliver all such further acts, 
 deeds, and assurances in the law as may be reasonably advised 
 or required of them, or either of them, for effectuating the in- 
 tention of these presents, and for the better assuring and con- 
 firming unto the Trustee, its successors and assigns, upon the 
 trusts and for the purposes herein expressed, all and singular 
 the property, appurtenances, rights, and franchises hereby mort- 
 gaged, whether now owned or possessed or hereafter acquired 
 by said Connecticut Company, its successors or assigns.

 Article IV. 
 
 The Connecticut Company shall pay the principal of all the 
 bonds issued under this mortgage when the same shall become 
 due by the terms of the bonds, or by declaration, as here- 
 inafter provided, upon the surrender of the bonds, and it shall 
 pay the interest thereon according to the terms of the bonds 
 upon the presentation and surrender of the proper coupons 
 for such interest and until the principal of the bonds is paid, 
 without deduction from the principal or interest for any tax 
 or taxes which the Connecticut Company may be required to 
 pay, deduct, or retain therefrom under any present or future 
 law of the United States of America, or of any State, county, 
 or municipality therein. 
 
 No bond shall be valid or secured under this mortgage or 
 deed of trust except such as shall be authenticated by the cer- 
 tificate of the Trustee indorsed thereon, signed by an officer 
 of the said Trustee, and such certificate shall be conclusive 
 evidence of the validity of such bond. 
 
 When and as the coupons attached to the said bonds mature 
 and become payable they shall be paid by the Connecticut 
 Company and the coupons canceled, and no purchase or sale 
 of the said coupons, or of any of them, and no advance or loan 
 thereon, or redemption thereof, by or on behalf of, or at the 
 request of, the Connecticut Company, after the same shall 
 have been detached from the bonds to which they belong, 
 shall keep such coupons alive, or preserve their lien upon the 
 mortgaged property or franchises; but nothing herein con- 
 tained shall be intended or construed to prevent the Con- 
 necticut Company, by arrangement with the holder or holders 
 of the bonds then outstanding from extending the time of 
 payment of or changing the rate of interest on any or all of 
 the said bonds ; and any such extended or changed bond and 
 the coupons thereon shall retain all the benefits and protection 
 of this mortgage to the same extent as if such extension or 
 change had not been made. 
 
 Said Connecticut Company hereby promises and agrees that 
 it will pay, or cause to be paid, all taxes, rates, levies, or assess- 
 
Ill 
 
 ments which are or may be lawfully imposed, levied, or as- 
 sessed upon any or all of the property, real and personal, 
 rights, franchises, dividends, and privileges of said Connecti- 
 cut Company, and will not permit any lien to remain upon the 
 premises hereby mortgaged. 
 
 In case the Connecticut Company shall fail to pay any such 
 tax or assessment, or shall suffer any such lien to remain un- 
 paid and unsatisfied, then the said Trustee may pay, satisfy, 
 and discharge the same, but shall not be bound so to do, and 
 the Connecticut Company shall repay to the Trustee all 
 moneys which shall be paid by the Trustee for the discharge 
 and satisfaction of any such taxes, assessments, or liens, as 
 above provided, or which said Trustee shall be reasonably re- 
 quired or compelled to pay to protect or preserve the lien 
 hereof, together with iaterest on such money at the rate of six 
 per cent, per annum from the date of the payments of the 
 same, and the amount so paid and interest thereon shall be a 
 first lien upon the premises hereby conveyed superior to the 
 lien of the bonds issued hereunder, and shall be secured by 
 these presents in like manner as the principal of said bonds. 
 
 The Connecticut Company agrees that it will keep the prop- 
 erty hereby mortgaged, liable to be injured or destroyed by 
 fire, reasonably insured, and in case of loss by fire, to replace 
 said property so destroyed or to make substitutes therefor, so 
 that the capacity of the plants or railways to supply the de- 
 mands upon them shall riot be impaired. 
 
 Article V. 
 
 In case the Connecticut Company shall make default in the 
 payment of any interest accruing upon any one or more of 
 the bonds hereby secured, or intended so to be, according to 
 the terms thereof, and such default shall continue for three 
 months, or shall make default in the performance of any other 
 of the covenants herein contained on its part to be performed, 
 and any such default shall continue for six months, then and in 
 any such case the Connecticut Company, upon demand of the 
 Trustee, shall and will forthwith surrender to the Trustee the 
 actual possession, and the Trustee shall be entitled forthwith, 
 with or without process of law, to enter into and upon and take 
 
1 12 
 
 possession of all and singular the property and premises hereby 
 mortgaged, or intended so to be, and each and every part 
 thereof, with all records, books, papers, and accounts of 
 the Connecticut Company, and to exclude the Connecticut 
 Company and its agents and servants wholly therefrom, and 
 shall have, hold, and use the same, controlling, managing, and 
 operating by its superintendents, managers, receivers, and 
 other agents or attorneys, the said property with the appur- 
 tenances, and conducting the business and operations thereof, 
 and exercising the franchises appertaining thereto, and mak- 
 ing from time to time, at the expense of the trust estate, all 
 repairs and replacements, and such additions, alterations, ex- 
 tensions, and improvements thereof and thereto as may be- 
 come necessary, or as to the said Trustee may seem proper 
 and judicious ; and may collect and receive all tolls, incomes, 
 rents, issues, and profits of the same, and every part thereof 
 and after deducting all expenses of maintaining, managing, 
 and operating said property and conducting the business 
 thereof, and of all repairs, replacements, additions, alterations, 
 and improvements so made, and all payments made for taxes, 
 levies, and assessments, insurance premiums, and other 
 charges upon said property, or any part thereof, and as well 
 just compensation for the services of the Trustee, its agents, 
 clerks, servants, attorneys, and counsel, shall apply the re- 
 mainder of the moneys so received by it, as follows : In case 
 the principal moneys evidenced by the bonds secured by this 
 mortgage shall not have become due, or have been declared 
 due, to the payment of the interest in default in the order of 
 the maturity of the installments of such interest, and in case 
 said principal moneys shall have become due, or have been 
 declared due, then to the payment of the principal and accrued 
 interest upon said bonds pro rata , without any preference or 
 priority whatsoever, and without preference of interest over 
 principal or of principal over interest. 
 
 Article VI. 
 
 In case the Connecticut Company shall make default in 
 the payment of any installment of interest upon the bonds - 
 
secured hereby, or any of them, and such default shall con- 
 tinue for three months, or in the performance of any other of 
 the covenants herein contained on its part to be performed, 
 other than to pay the principal of the bonds hereby secured 
 at maturity thereof, and in case such default shall continue for 
 six months, then, and in any such case, the Trustee may, and 
 if the holders of a majority in value of the outstanding bonds 
 hereby secured shall so elect in writing, and notify the Trustee, 
 the Trustee shall declare the whole principal of all the bonds 
 hereby secured to be due and payable, and the same shall 
 thereupon immediately become due and payable, and it shall 
 be the duty of the Trustee, upon request in writing, signed by 
 the holders of a majority in value of said bonds then outstand- 
 ing, and upon being indemnified to its satisfaction, to institute 
 proper proceedings, at law or in equity, to enforce the lien 
 hereby created, but the exercise by the Trustee of such right 
 shall be subject to revocation or waiver by the holders of a 
 majority in value of the bonds secured hereby, expressed in 
 writing and served upon the Trustee. 
 
 Until such request in writing shall be made by the holders 
 of a majority in value of the bonds then outstanding, the Trus- 
 tee shall have full power and authority to commence and pros- 
 ecute (but shall not be under any obligation to institute of its 
 own motion) such proceedings at law or in equity from time 
 to time as it may deem necessary and proper for the due pro- 
 tection and enforcement of the rights of the bondholders, or 
 any of them, under these presents, subject, however, as to any 
 such proceedings commenced by the Trustee, to the right of 
 waiver or revocation on the part of the holders of a majority 
 in value of the said bonds, as hereinabove provided. 
 
 The principal of the bonds secured hereby having be- 
 come due at maturity, or as in this Article provided, it 
 shall be lawful for the Trustee, after entry as in Article 
 V, above provided, or without entry, to proceed to sell at 
 public auction unto the highest bidder all and singular 
 the property and franchises hereby mortgaged, with the 
 appurtenances that shall then be subject to the lien, opera- 
 tion, and effect of this indenture, and all benefit and equity 
 
of redemption of the Connecticut Company, its successors 
 or assigns therein. Such sale shall be made by the Trustee, 
 or by its attorney or attorneys, agent or agents, in the 
 city of Bridgeport, State of Connecticut, after notice of the 
 time and place of sale and of the property to be sold shall 
 have been given by the Trustee, by publication thereof in 
 newspapers printed and published in the cities of New York, 
 New York, Bridgeport, Connecticut, and Boston, Massachu- 
 setts, once in each week for not less than six consecutive weeks 
 (together with such other notice, if any, as may be required 
 by law), and the Trustee may, without further advertising such 
 sale, adjourn the same from time to time for such period or 
 periods as it may deem advisable, and after such sale shall 
 execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the purchaser or pur- 
 chasers a good and sufficient deed of conveyance of said prop- 
 erty, which shall be a bar against the Connecticut Company, 
 its successors and assigns, and all persons claiming by, through, 
 or under it, or them, with respect to any of the property so 
 sold. The Connecticut Company shall and will, if and when 
 thereunto requested, thereafter make, execute, and deliver 
 such deeds and other instruments as it shall be reasonably 
 advised or required, to confirm and assure such title and own- 
 ership in and to such purchaser or purchasers. The receipt 
 of the Trustee shall be a sufficient discharge to the purchaser 
 or purchasers of all the property so sold, or any part thereof, 
 for his or their purchase money; and the purchaser shall not 
 be bound to see to the application of the purchase money. 
 
 Upon the making of any such sale the Trustee shall apply 
 the proceeds thereof as follows : — 
 
 First . — To the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale 
 or sales, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, 
 its agents, attorneys, and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities, 
 and advances made and incurred by the Trustee, and all pay- 
 ments made by it for taxes, assessments and insurance pre-

 the enforcement of this mortgage. 
 
 The right to enforce this mortgage in all its provisions 
 shall be vested exclusively in the Trustee, and no holder or 
 holders of bonds or coupons shall have the right to institute 
 any suit or proceeding therefor except in the case of the re- 
 fusal of the Trustee, for thirty days after demand in writing, 
 to institute such suit or proceeding.

 senting any such request to deposit his bonds or coupons 
 with the Trustee as proof of ownership, and to bind such 
 bonds or coupons by the action to be taken in pursuance of 
 such request, and such request shall be without effect unless 
 and until said bonds or coupons are so deposited in case such 
 deposit shall be required, and unless and until the Trustee 
 shall have been offered satisfactory indemnity.

 under as herein provided. 
 
 Article VIII. 
 
 At any sale or sales of the property hereby mortgaged, or

 the bonds hereby secured and then outstanding shall, bid for 
 and purchase, or cause to be bid for and purchased, the same, 
 for and in behalf of all the holders of the bonds hereby se- 
 cured and then outstanding who shall join in said request, in 
 the proportion of the respective interests of such bondholders, 
 at a price to be named in such written request. In any such 
 case the bondholders making the request shall be liable for 
 the amount so bid by the Trustee, and the Trustee may require 
 a deposit of cash or other indemnity as a condition precedent 
 to its making the said bid : Provided , nevertheless , that any 
 bondholders not parties to the said request when first made 
 may become parties thereto, and entitled to the benefits and

 Trustee of their desire to do so, and complying with the terms 
 required of those originally named in the request, at any time 
 before the said sale and purchase.

 purchasers shall be entitled to turn in, use, and apply, in 
 making payment of the purchase money bidden upon such 
 sale, the bonds or coupons secured hereby and then outstand- 
 ing, reckoning such bonds or coupons for such purpose at a 
 sum not exceeding that which shall be payable out of the net 
 proceeds of such sale to the holder or holders of such bonds 
 or coupons for his or their just share of the net proceeds of 
 sale upon due apportionment of and accounting for such net 
 proceeds applicable to the payment of such bonds and cou- 
 pons, after allowing for the proportion of payment which may 
 be required in cash for the costs and expenses of such sale, 
 and other costs, charges, and expenses properly chargeable 
 under the terms hereof, and if such share of net proceeds 
 shall be less than the amount then due upon said bonds and 
 coupons, or any of them, such settlement or payment shall be 
 made to the extent of the share of such net proceeds applic- 
 able thereto by receipting such amount upon said bonds and 
 coupons and crediting the same thereon.

 Connecticut Company of any of the covenants herein con- 
 tained, or of any act of said Connecticut Company, its agents

 come liable or responsible for any cause, matter, or thing, ex-

 be responsible for anything contained herein.

 filing, refiling, or recording of this mortgage.

 or lithographed bonds shall bear upon their face the words 
 “ Interim Bond,” and shall be duly certified by the Trustee

 trust hereby created. Such printed or lithographed bonds 
 duly issued and certified hereunder, shall be exchanged for 
 engraved bonds to be issued hereunder, and upon any such
