Section 11-43-350. Trust indenture.

(A) Bonds may be secured by a trust indenture between the bank and a corporate trustee, which may be the State Treasurer or any bank having trust powers or any trust company, designated by the State Treasurer doing business in South Carolina. A trust indenture may contain provisions for protecting and enforcing the rights and remedies of the bondholders which are reasonable and proper, including covenants setting forth the duties of the bank in relation to the exercise of its powers and the custody, safekeeping, and application of its money. The bank may provide by the trust indenture for the payment of the proceeds of the bonds and all or any part of the revenues of the bank to the trustee under the trust indenture or to some other depository, and for the method of its disbursement with safeguards and restrictions prescribed by it. All expenses incurred in performing the obligations of the bank under the trust indenture may be treated as part of its operating expenses.
(B) Any resolution or trust indenture pursuant to which bonds are issued may contain provisions which are part of the contract with the holders of the bonds as to:
(1) pledging all or any part of the revenue of the bank to secure the payment of the bonds;
(2) pledging all or any part of the assets of the bank including loan obligations owned by it to secure the payment of the bonds;
(3) the use and disposition of the gross income from, and payment of the principal of, and interest on loan obligations owned by the bank;
(4) the establishment of reserves, sinking funds, and other funds and accounts, and their regulation and disposition;
(5) limitations on the purposes to which the proceeds from the sale of the bonds may be applied, and limitations on pledging the proceeds to secure the payment of the bonds;
(6) limitations on the issuance of additional bonds, the terms upon which additional bonds may be issued and secured, and the refunding of outstanding or other bonds;
(7) the procedure, if any, by which the terms of any contract with bondholders may be amended or abrogated, the amount of bonds, if any, the holders of which must consent to, and the manner in which any consent may be given;
(8) limitations on the amount of money to be expended by the bank for its operating expenses;
(9) vesting in a trustee property, rights, powers, and duties as the bank may determine, limiting or abrogating the right of bondholders to appoint a trustee, and limiting the rights, powers, and duties of the trustee;
(10) defining the acts or omissions which constitute a default, the obligations or duties of the bank to the holders of the bonds, and the rights and remedies of the holders of the bonds in the event of default, including as a matter of right the appointment of a receiver, and all other rights generally available to creditors;
(11) requiring the bank or the trustee under the trust indenture to take any and all other action to obtain payment of all sums required to eliminate any default as to any principal of and interest on loan obligations owned by the bank or held by a trustee, which may be authorized by the laws of this State; and
(12) any other matter relating to the terms of the bonds or the security or protection of the holders of the bonds which may be considered appropriate.
