case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal and instalments of interest at the rate of five per cent. a year; and in case the Company shall fail to pay the same forthwith upon such demand, the Trustees in their own name and as trustees of an express trust, shall be entitled to recover judgment for the whole amount so due and unpaid.

The Trustees shall be entitled to recover judgment as aforesaid," either before or after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of the lien of this indenture; and the rights of the Trustees to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any entry or sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the provisions of this indenture or the foreclosure of the lien thereof; and in case of a sale of the property subject to this indenture, and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the debt hereby secured, the Trustees, in their own name and as trustees of an express trust, shall be entitled to enforce payment of and to receive all amounts then remaining due and unpaid upon any and all of the bonds then outstanding for the benefit of the holders thereof, and shall be entitled to recover judgment for any portion of the debt remaining unpaid, with interest. No recovery of any such judgment by the Trustees, and no levy of any execution under any such judgment upon the property subject to this indenture, or upon any other property, shall in any manner or to any extentaffect the lien of this indenture upon the property, or any part of the property, subject to this indenture, or any rights, powers or remedies of the Trustees or either of them hereunder, or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of the holders of the bonds, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies of the Trustees and of each of them and of the bondholders shall continue unimpaired as before.
