Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been taken by or at the request of the Company which could not have been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Bonds issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefit of the lien of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Bonds, except as aforesaid.

SECTION 1.06.ACTS OF HOLDERS.

(a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions ofArticle XV, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Bond, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject toSection 11.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders shall be proved in the manner provided inSection 15.06.

(b) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof or may be proved in any other manner which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

-31-

(c) The ownership, principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated inclause (y) of the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) and serial numbers of Bonds held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, shall be proved by the Bond Register.

(d) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of a Holder shall bind every future Holder of the same Bond and the Holder of every Bond issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Bond.

(e) Until such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount of Bonds for the action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all of such Bonds by written notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder, proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven.

(f) Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of Holders. If the Company shall so determine, new Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Bonds of such series or Tranche.

(g) The Company may, at its option, by Company Order, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited by the Company, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to join in the giving or making of any Notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to inSection 10.02, any request to institute proceedings referred to inSection 10.11 or any direction referred to inSection 10.16. If any such record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the Outstanding Bonds have authorized or agreed or consented to such Act (and for that purpose the Outstanding Bonds shall be computed as of the record date) and/or (ii) which Holders may revoke any such Act (notwithstandingsubsection (e) of this Section); and any such Act, given as aforesaid, shall be effective whether or not the Holders which authorized or agreed or consented to such Act remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Bonds held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date.

Any communication contemplated herein shall be deemed to have been made, given, furnished and filed if personally delivered, on the date of delivery, if transmitted by facsimile transmission or other direct written electronic means, on the date of transmission, and if transmitted by registered or certified mail or reputable overnight courier, on the date of receipt.

The Trustee agrees to accept and act upon instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by the Company by unsecurede-mail, facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a) subsequent to such transmission of written instructions, the Company shall provide the originally executed instructions or directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of the Company providing such instructions or directions. If the Company elects to give the Trusteee-mail or facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.

-33-

The Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with a subsequent written instruction. The Company agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee, including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third parties.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Bond, where this Indenture or any Bond provides for notice of any event or any other communication (including any notice of redemption or repurchase) to a holder of a Global Bond (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary (or its designee) pursuant to the standing instructions from the Depositary or its designee, including by electronic mail in accordance with accepted practices at the Depositary.

SECTION 1.08.NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF BONDS; WAIVER.

Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Bond Register (or, with respect to Global Bonds, in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable policies and procedures), not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.

In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.

Any notice required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event otherwise to be specified therein, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

SECTION 1.09.CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.

If any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in this Indenture by any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, the provision required or deemed to be included by the Trust Indenture Act shall control; and if any provision hereof otherwise conflicts with the Trust Indenture Act, or limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act, including the duties imposed by Section 318(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall control.

Any cash held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent under any provision of this Indenture shall, except as otherwise provided inSection 8.06 or inArticle IX, at the request of the Company evidenced by Company Order, be invested or reinvested in Investment Securities designated by the Company (such Company Order to contain a representation to the effect that the securities designated therein constitute Investment Securities), and any interest on such Investment Securities shall be promptly paid over to the Company as received free and clear of any Lien.

SECTION 3.04.TEMPORARY BONDS.

Pending the preparation of definitive Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Bonds which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, photocopied or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Bonds in lieu of which they are issued, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Bonds may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Bonds.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to the Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, after the preparation of definitive Bonds of such series or Tranche, the temporary Bonds of such series or Tranche shall be exchangeable, without charge to the Holder thereof, for definitive Bonds of such series or Tranche upon surrender of such temporary Bonds at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant toSection 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such Bonds. Upon such surrender of temporary Bonds, the Company shall, except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01, execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor definitive Bonds of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, temporary Bonds shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Bonds of the same series and Tranche and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 3.05.REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

The Company shall cause to be kept in one of the offices designated pursuant toSection 7.02, with respect to the Bonds of each series, or any Tranche thereof, a register (the “Bond Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Bonds of such series or Tranche and the registration of transfer thereof. Pursuant toSection 3.01(f), the Company shall designate one Person to maintain the Bond Register for the Bonds of each series, and such Person is referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Bond Registrar.” Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may designate one or more of its offices, or one or more offices of any of its Affiliates, as an office in which a Bond Register with respect to the Bonds of one or more series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company may designate itself or any Affiliate the Bond Registrar with respect to one or more of such series. The Bond Register(s) shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Bonds, the Trustee shall be the initial Bond Registrar for each series of Bonds.

-43-

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to the Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and except as provided below with respect to Global Bonds, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Bond of such series or Tranche at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant toSection 7.02 in a Place of Payment for such series or Tranche, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Bonds of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to the Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Bond of such series or Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder, for one or more new Bonds of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bonds to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Bonds are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Bonds which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

All Bonds delivered upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same obligation, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Bonds surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Bond presented or surrendered for registration of transfer shall be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Every Bond presented or surrendered for exchange shall (if so required by the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar) be duly endorsed or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, as the case may be, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

Unless otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Bonds, other than exchanges pursuant toSection 3.04,6.06 or14.06 not involving any transfer.

The Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of transfer of or the exchange of (a) Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, during a period of fifteen (15) days immediately preceding the date notice is to be given identifying the serial numbers (or with respect to Global Bonds, CUSIP numbers) of the Bonds of such series or Tranche called for redemption or (b) any Bond so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Bond being redeemed in part.

-44-

SECTION 3.06.MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN BONDS.

If any mutilated Bond is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Bond of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any Bond and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Bond is held by a protected purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Bond, a new Bond of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bond has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, but subject to compliance with the foregoing conditions, instead of issuing a new Bond, pay such Bond.

Upon the issuance of any new Bond under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in connection therewith.

Every new Bond of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Bond shall be at any time enforceable by anyone other than the Holder of such new Bond, and any such new Bond shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Bonds of such series duly issued hereunder.

The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bonds.

SECTION 3.07.PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.

Except in the case of a Global Bond (such interest to be paid in accordance with the Depositary’s applicable policies and procedures) at the option of the Company, interest on any series of Bonds may be paid by (i) check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear on the Bond Register of such series or (ii) wire transfer in immediately available funds at such place and to such account as designated in writing by the Person entitled thereto as specified in the Bond Register of such series.

(a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Bonds of such series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on a date (herein called a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Bond of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than thirty (30) days and not less than ten (10) days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than twenty-five (25) days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall, not less than fifteen (15) days prior to such Special Record Date, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Bonds of such series. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Bonds of such series (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.

(b) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Bonds of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Bonds may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section andSection 3.05, each Bond delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Bond shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Bond.

No Bonds shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Bonds canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 for Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on the Bonds of each series shall be computed on the basis of a three hundred sixty (360) day year consisting of twelve (12) thirty (30) day months and, with respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during such period.

SECTION 3.12.CUSIP NUMBERS.

The Company, in issuing the Bonds, may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee or Bond Registrar may use CUSIP or such other numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Bonds or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Bonds, in which case none of the Company or, as the case may be, the Trustee or the Bond Registrar, or any agent of any of them, shall have any liability in respect of any CUSIP number used on any such notice, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

If less than all the Bonds of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be redeemed, the particular Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected by the Bond Registrar from the Outstanding Bonds of such series or Tranche not previously called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for any particular series or Tranche, or, in the absence of any such provision, by such method of random selection as the Bond Registrar shall deem fair and appropriate and which may, in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series or Tranche or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Bonds of such series or Tranche having a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Bonds of such series or Tranche;provided,however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than all of such Bonds as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered to the Company for such purchase, the Bond Registrar, if so directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Bonds which have not been so tendered;provided,further, that with respect to Global Bonds, the Bonds to be redeemed shall be selected in accordance with the procedures of the Depositary.

Except in the case of Global Bonds, the Bond Registrar shall promptly notify the Company and the Trustee in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption and, in the case of any Bonds selected to be redeemed in part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Bonds shall relate, in the case of any Bonds redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Bonds which has been or is to be redeemed.

In the event that such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, or the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents have been directed by the Company not to apply such money to the redemption of such Bonds, the redemption shall not be made, and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received or that the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents have been directed by the Company not to redeem such Bonds and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee or Paying Agent or Agents for the Bonds otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Bonds which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption.

Notice of redemption of Bonds to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any notice ofnon-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s written request, by the Bond Registrar in the name and at the expense of the Company.

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been satisfied, the Bonds or portions thereof so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless, in the case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Bonds or portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Bond for redemption in accordance with such notice, such Bond or portion thereof shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date;provided,however, that no such surrender shall be a condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to such Bond; andprovided,further, that, except as otherwise specified as contemplated bySection 3.01 with respect to such Bond, any installment of interest on any Bond the Stated Maturity of which installment is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such Bond, or one or more Predecessor Bonds, registered as such at the close of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such Bond and subject to the provisions ofSection 3.07.

SECTION 6.06.BONDS REDEEMED IN PART.

Upon the surrender of any Bond which is to be redeemed only in part at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Bond, without service charge, a new Bond or Bonds of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Bond so surrendered.

Unless otherwise prescribed by applicable law, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any Bond and remaining unclaimed for two years after

-59-

(b) Until the Release Date, the Company shall not create nor suffer to be created any Lien upon the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, prior to, or pari passu with, the lien of this Indenture, other than Permitted Liens;provided,however, that nothing herein shall be construed as a subordination of the lien of this Indenture to any Permitted Liens encumbering any part of the Mortgaged Property except to the extent that such subordination occurs or is effected by operation of law or pursuant to the provisions ofSection 8.11 orSection 11.07.

Any cash so required to be paid by the Company pursuant to any such method or plan shall for the purposes of this Indenture be deemed to be proceeds of insurance.

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company need not keep insured or protected by any other method or plan, as contemplated herein, any part of the Mortgaged Property if, in the judgment of the Company, such insurance or protection of such part of the Mortgaged Property is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

(b) All moneys paid to the Trustee by the Company in accordance with this Section or received by the Trustee as proceeds of any insurance, in either case on account of a loss on or with respect to Funded Property, shall, subject to the requirements of any Senior Lien upon such Funded Property, be held by the Trustee, constitute Mortgaged Property, and, subject as aforesaid, shall be paid by it to the Company free and clear of any Lien to reimburse the Company for an equal amount expended or committed for expenditure in the rebuilding, renewal and/or replacement of or substitution for the property destroyed, damaged or otherwise lost (such property being referred to in thisclause (b) as “lost property”), upon receipt by the Trustee of:

(i) a Company Request requesting such payment;

(ii) an Expert’s Certificate:

(A) describing the lost property;

such replaced property is subject to a Senior Lien securing Senior Lien Obligations, the outstanding principal amount of such Senior Lien Obligations as of the date of such certificate, and (III) the Net Fair Value of such replaced property; and

(iii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of the signer, the Indenture creates, or upon taking of the actions specified in such opinion, the Indenture will create, a lien on the replaced property.

Any such moneys not so applied withinthirty-six (36) months after its receipt by the Trustee, or in respect of which notice in writing of intention to apply the same to the work of rebuilding, renewal, replacement or substitution then in progress and uncompleted shall not have been given to the Trustee by the Company within suchthirty-six (36) months, or which the Company shall at any time notify the Trustee, in writing, is not to be so applied, shall thereafter be withdrawn, used or applied in the manner, to the extent and for the purposes, and subject to the conditions, provided inSection 8.07;provided,however, that (i) if the amount of such moneys shall exceed seventy-five percent (75%) of the amount stated pursuant toclause (B) in the Expert’s Certificate referred to above, or (ii) if any of such moneys remain after the Company shall have replaced the lost property with replaced property and the Net Fair Value of the replaced property is at least equal to the Funded Property Basis of the lost property, then in each case, the amount of such excess shall not be deemed to be Funded Cash, shall not be subject toSection 8.07 and shall be remitted to or upon the written order of the Company free and clear of any Lien. All replaced property, to the extent that it has been built or acquired with the proceeds of Funded Cash pursuant to thisclause (b), shall constitute Mortgaged Property and Funded Property.

(c) All moneys paid to the Trustee by the Company in accordance with this Section or received by the Trustee as proceeds of any insurance, in either case on account of a loss on or with respect to Unfunded Property shall, subject to the requirements of any applicable Senior Lien securing Senior Lien Obligations, be held by the Trustee, constitute Mortgaged Property, and, subject as aforesaid, shall be paid by it to the Company free and clear of any Lien upon receipt by the Trustee of:

(i) a Company Request requesting such payment;

(ii) an Expert’s Certificate made and dated not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of such Company Request, stating:

(B) if true, (I) that the aggregate Adjusted Property Additions Basis of all Property Additions which constitute Unfunded Property (excluding, to the extent of such loss, the property on or with respect to which such loss was incurred), is not less than zero (0), or (II) that the amount of such loss does not exceed the aggregate Adjusted Property Additions Basis of all Property Additions acquired, made or constructed on or after the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of the Company Request requesting such payment; and

(C) if neither of the statements contemplated insubclause (B) above can be made, the amount by which zero (0) exceeds the amount referred to insubclause (B)(I) above (showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof) (such amount being referred to in thisclause (c) as the “Make-up Amount”); and

(iii) an amount in cash, to be held by the Trustee and to constitute Mortgaged Property, equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of theMake-up Amount if the Expert’s Certificate required byclause (ii) above does not contain either of the statements contemplated inclause (ii)(B) above.

To the extent that the Company shall be entitled to withdraw proceeds of insurance pursuant to thissubsection (c), such proceeds shall be deemed not to constitute Funded Cash.

(d) Whenever under the provisions of this Section the Company is required to deliver moneys to the Trustee and at the same time shall have satisfied the conditions set forth herein for payment of moneys by the Trustee to the Company, there shall be paid to or retained by the Trustee or paid to the Company, as the case may be, only the amount net of any taxes or other governmental charges, any administrative or other miscellaneous expenses of the insurance provider and any amounts allowed by this Indenture to be deducted from amounts payable to the Trustee.

(iii) Liens of any kind, including purchase money Liens, conditional sales agreements or title retention agreements and similar agreements, upon any property acquired, constructed, developed or improved by the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (whether alone or in association with others) which do not exceed the cost or value of the property acquired, constructed, developed or improved and which are created prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after such acquisition (or in the case of property constructed, developed or improved, within 12 months after the completion of such construction, development or improvement and commencement of full commercial operation of such property, whichever is later) to secure or provide for the payment of any part of the purchase price or cost thereof; provided that the Liens shall not extend to any Principal Property other than the property so acquired, constructed, developed or improved;

(iv) Liens in favor of the United States, any state or any foreign country or any department, agency or instrumentality or political subdivision of any such jurisdiction to secure payments pursuant to any contract or statute or to secure any indebtedness incurred for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price or cost of constructing or improving the property subject to such Lien, including Liens related to governmental obligations the interest on which istax-exempt under Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code or any successor section of the Internal Revenue Code;

(v) Liens in favor of the Company, one or more Significant Subsidiaries of the Company, one or more wholly-owned Subsidiaries of the Company or any of the foregoing combination; and

(vi) replacements, extensions or renewals (or successive replacements, extensions or renewals), in whole or in part, of any Lien, or of any agreement, referred to above inclauses (i) through(v) inclusive, or replacements, extensions or renewals of the Debt secured thereby (to the extent that the amount of Debt secured by any such Lien is not increased from the amount originally so secured, plus any premium, interest, fee or expenses payable in connection with any replacements, refundings, refinancings, remarketings, extensions or renewals); provided that such replacement, extension or renewal is limited to all or a part of the same property (plus improvements thereon or additions or accessions thereto) that secured the Lien replaced, extended or renewed.

(b) Notwithstanding the restriction insubsection (a) of thisSection 7.11, the Company or any Significant Subsidiary may, from and after the Release Date, (1) issue, incur or assume Debt secured by a Lien not described inclauses (i) through(vi) ofsubsection (a) above on any Principal Property now or hereafter owned without providing that the Outstanding Bonds be equally and ratably secured with such Debt and (2) issue or permit to exist Attributable Debt

-67-

in respect of Principal Property, in either case so long as the aggregate amount of such secured Debt and Attributable Debt, together with the aggregate amount of all other Debt secured by Liens not described inclauses (i) through(vi) ofsubsection (a) above then outstanding and all other Attributable Debt, does not exceed 10% of the Net Tangible Assets of the Company, as determined by the Company as of a month end not more than 90 days prior to the closing or consummation of the proposed transaction.

(c) For purposes of determining compliance with thisSection 7.11, in the event that any Lien at any time meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described inclauses (i) through(vi) above ofSection 7.11(a), or is entitled to be created pursuant toSection 7.11(b), the Company will be permitted to classify (and later reclassify) in whole or in part in its sole discretion such Lien in any manner that complies with thisSection 7.11.

(d) For purposes of determining compliance with any Dollar-denominated restriction on the incurrence of Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property, the Dollar-equivalent principal amount of Debt denominated in a foreign currency will be calculated based on the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date such Debt was incurred, in the case of term Debt, or first committed, in the case of revolving credit Debt; provided that if such Debt is incurred to refinance other Debt denominated in the same foreign currency, and such refinancing would cause the applicable Dollar-denominated restriction to be exceeded if calculated at the relevant currency exchange rate in effect on the date of such refinancing, the Dollar-denominated restriction will be deemed not to have been exceeded so long as the principal amount of the refinancing Debt does not exceed the principal amount of the Debt being refinanced. Notwithstanding any other provision of thisSection 7.11, the maximum amount of Debt secured by Liens on Principal Property that the Company or any Significant Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant will not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies.

(e) For purposes of thisSection 7.11, “Debt” of a Significant Subsidiary shall mean any debt of such Significant Subsidiary for money borrowed and guarantees by such Significant Subsidiary of debt for money borrowed but in each case excluding liabilities in respect of Capital Lease Obligations or Swap Agreements.

(ii) indicating one or more, or any combination, of the following property (collectively, the “Cash Deposit Credit Items”), if any, and the amounts thereof, which together with the Cash Deposit Amount, if any, to be deposited with the Trustee shall form the basis for the release of property requested in the Company Order referred to inclause (a) above of this Section:

(A) the aggregate principal amount of any Purchase Money Obligations delivered to the Trustee, to be held by the Trustee and constituting Mortgaged Property, which are secured by Purchase Money Liens upon the property to be released;

-71-

as stated in the Expert’s Certificate provided for inclause (c) of this Section, (x) plus the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration, further to be stated in such Expert’s Certificate, paid and/or delivered or to be paid and/or delivered by, and the amount of any obligations assumed or to be assumed by, the Company in connection with such exchange as additional consideration for such Property Additions and/or (y) less the amount of any cash and the fair market value of any other consideration, which shall also be stated in such Expert’s Certificate, received or to be received by the Company in connection with such exchange in addition to such Property Additions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Company be required to deliver the documents specified inSection 5.01. Any Property Additions which have become the basis for the release of Funded Property pursuant to this Section shall constitute Funded Property.

If and to the extent that the release of property is, in whole or in part, based upon the right to the authentication and delivery of Bonds underSection 5.03 (as described inclause (d)(ii)(C) of this Section), the Company shall, except as hereafter in this paragraph provided, comply withSection 5.03(b) relating to such authentication and delivery, but recognizing that the action to be taken is the release of property rather than the authentication and delivery of Bonds. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in no event shall the Company be required to deliver the documents specified inSection 5.01.

If the release of property is, in whole or in part, based upon the delivery to the Trustee of Purchase Money Obligations (as described inclause (d)(ii)(A) of this Section), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee:

(a) an Officer’s Certificate (i) stating that no event has occurred and is continuing which entitles the holder of the Purchase Money Lien securing such Purchase Money Obligations to accelerate the maturity of the Purchase Money Obligations, if any, outstanding thereunder, (ii) reciting the aggregate principal amount of Purchase Money Obligations, if any, then outstanding thereunder in addition to the Purchase Money Obligations then being delivered in connection with the release of such property and the terms and conditions, if any, on which additional Purchase Money Obligations are permitted to be issued; and

(b) an Opinion of Counsel stating that, in the opinion of the signer, (i) such Purchase Money Obligations are valid obligations, (ii) such Purchase Money Lien constitutes, or, upon the taking of the actions specified in such opinion, will constitute, a Lien upon the property to be released, subject, to the knowledge of such counsel, to no Lien prior thereto except Liens generally of the character of Permitted Liens and such Liens, if any, as shall have existed thereon immediately prior to such release as Liens prior to the lien of this Indenture, (iii) if any Purchase Money Obligations in addition to the Purchase Money Obligations being delivered in connection with such release of property are then outstanding, or are permitted to be issued, under such Purchase Money Lien, (A) that such Purchase Money Lien constitutes, or, upon the taking of the actions specified in such opinion, will constitute, a Lien upon all other property, if any, purporting to be subject thereto, subject, to the knowledge of such counsel, to no Lien prior thereto except Liens generally of the character of Permitted Liens and Liens permitted to exist or to be hereafter created underSection 7.06 and (B) that the terms of such Purchase Money Lien, as then in effect, do not permit the issuance of Purchase Money Obligations thereunder except on the basis of property generally of the character of Property Additions, the retirement or deposit of outstanding Purchase Money Obligations, the deposit of prior Lien obligations or the deposit of cash.

-72-

If the Opinion of Counsel provided to the Trustee pursuant toclause (b) above is conditioned upon the filing and/or recording of any instruments of conveyance, assignment or transfer, the Company shall promptly cause such instruments to be filed and/or recorded in the proper places and manner and shall deliver to the Trustee evidence of such filing and/or recording promptly upon receipt of such evidence by the Company.

Any Outstanding Bonds delivered to the Trustee pursuant toclause (d)(ii)(D) of this Section shall forthwith be canceled by the Trustee. Any cash and/or Purchase Money Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant toclause (d)(ii)(A) of this Section, and the proceeds of any such Purchase Money Obligations, shall be held by the Trustee and constitute Mortgaged Property and shall be withdrawn, released, used or applied in the manner, to the extent and for the purposes, and subject to the conditions, provided inSection 8.07.

Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if property to be released constitutes Funded Property in part only, the Company shall obtain the release of the part of such property which constitutes Funded Property under this Section and obtain the release of the part of such property which constitutes Unfunded Property underSection 8.04; provided, that the foregoing shall not preclude the release of such property under any other applicable Section of thisArticle VIII. In such event, (i) the application of Property Additions in the release underclause (d)(ii)(B) of this Section shall be taken into account inclause (vi) orclause (vii), whichever may be applicable, of the Expert’s Certificate described inclause (c) inSection 8.04 and (ii) the Trustee shall, at the election of the Company, execute and deliver a separate instrument of release with respect to the property released under each of such Sections or a consolidated instrument of release with respect to the property released under both of such Sections considered as a whole. To the extent that only a portion of any Funded Property is to be released under thisSection 8.03, the Company shall be entitled to make an allocation of the Funded Property Basis between that portion of the Funded Property being released and that portion of the Funded Property remaining subject to the lien of this Indenture on any reasonable basis as may be determined by the Company.

SECTION 8.04.RELEASE OF PROPERTY CONSTITUTING UNFUNDED PROPERTY.

Unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may obtain the release of any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein, which constitutes Unfunded Property, and the Trustee shall release all its right, title and interest in and to the same from the lien hereof, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

(iii) stating the Cost and Net Cost of the property to be released;

(iv) stating the Property Additions Basis of the property to be released;

(v) stating that the property to be released constitutes Unfunded Property;

(vi) if true, stating (I) that the aggregate Adjusted Property Additions Basis of all Property Additions which constitute Unfunded Property (excluding the property to be released), is not less than zero (0), or (II) that the Adjusted Property Additions Basis of the property to be released does not exceed the aggregate Adjusted Property Additions Basis of all Property Additions acquired, made or constructed on or after the ninetieth (90th) day prior to the date of the Company Order requesting such release;

(vii) if neither of the statements contemplated insubclause (vi) above can be made, stating (A) the amount by which zero (0) exceeds the amount referred to insubclause (vi)(I) above (showing in reasonable detail the calculation thereof) (such amount being referred to in this Section as the “Make-up Amount”) and (B) the amount in cash, if any, to be deposited by the Company, held by the Trustee, and constitute Mortgaged Property, calculated as described inclause (d) below of this Section; and

(e) items of the character described inclause (d) above in this Section, if any, being used by the Company as a credit against cash required to be deposited with the Trustee pursuant toclause (d) above in this Section.

-74-

SECTION 8.05.RELEASE OF PROPERTIES WITHIN ANNUAL LIMITS.

(a) Notwithstanding the provisions ofSections 8.03 and8.04, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Company may obtain the release from the lien hereof of any part of the Mortgaged Property, or any interest therein, and the Trustee shall whenever from time to time requested by the Company in a Company Order transmitting therewith a form of instrument to effect such release, and without requiring compliance with any of the provisions ofSection 8.03 or8.04, release from the lien hereof all the right, title and interest of the Trustee in and to the same, provided that the aggregate Fair Value of the property to be so released on any date in a given calendar year, together with the Fair Value of all other property released pursuant to thisSection 8.05(a) in such calendar year, shall not exceed the greater of (i) Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) for calendar year 2020; provided, that with respect to any subsequent calendar year, such amount shall be increased by the same percentage increase in the CPI Index for the period commencing January 1, 2020 and ending on January 1 of the applicable calendar year as set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee and (ii) three percent (3%) of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds then Outstanding.

(b) Prior to the granting of any release under this Section, there shall be delivered to the Trustee:

(i) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, to the knowledge of the signer, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and

(c) On or before December 31st of each calendar year, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount in cash equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the aggregate Funded Property Basis of the properties constituting Funded Property so released during such year (the “Cash Deposit Amount”) and such Cash Deposit Amount shall constitute Mortgaged Property;provided,however, that the Cash Deposit Amount may be reduced, at the election of the Company, by any of, or any combination of, the Cash Deposit Credit Items specified inclause (d)(ii) ofSection 8.03, subject to all of the limitations and conditions specified in such Section, to the same extent as if such property were being released pursuant toSection 8.03.

Any cash deposited with the Trustee under this Section may thereafter be withdrawn, used or applied in the manner, to the extent and for the purposes, and subject to the conditions, provided inSection 8.07.

SECTION 8.06.PURCHASE MONEY OBLIGATIONS.

(a) Any Purchase Money Obligations delivered to the Trustee in consideration of the release of property from the lien of this Indenture, together with any evidence of the applicable Purchase Money Lien held by the Trustee, shall be released from the lien of this

-75-

Indenture and delivered to or upon the written order of the Company upon payment by the Company to the Trustee of an amount in cash equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Purchase Money Obligations less the aggregate amount theretofore paid to the Trustee (by the Company, the obligor or otherwise) in respect of the principal of such Purchase Money Obligations, such cash to constitute Mortgaged Property.

(b) The principal of and interest on any such Purchase Money Obligations secured by a Purchase Money Lien held by the Trustee shall be held by the Trustee as and when the same are received by the Trustee and shall constitute Mortgaged Property. The interest received by the Trustee on any such Purchase Money Obligations shall be deemed not to constitute Funded Cash and shall be remitted to the Company free and clear of any Lien;provided,however, that if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such proceeds shall constitute Mortgaged Property and shall be retained by the Trustee until such Event of Default shall have been cured or waived.

(c) The Trustee shall have and may exercise all the rights and powers of any owner of such Purchase Money Obligations and of all substitutions therefor and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, may collect and receive all insurance moneys payable to it under any of the provisions thereof and apply the same in accordance with the provisions thereof, may consent to extensions thereof at a higher or lower rate of interest, may join in any plan or plans of voluntary or involuntary reorganization or readjustment or rearrangement and may accept and hold hereunder new obligations, stocks or other securities issued in exchange therefor under any such plan. Any discretionary action which the Trustee may be entitled to take in connection with any such Purchase Money Obligations or substitutions therefor shall be taken, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, in accordance with a Company Order, and, during the continuance of an Event of Default, acting at the written direction by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds then Outstanding.

(d) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Company may irrevocably waive all right to the withdrawal pursuant to this Section of, and any other rights with respect to, any Purchase Money Obligations held by the Trustee, and the proceeds of any such Purchase Money Obligations, by delivery to the Trustee of a Company Order:

(i) specifying such Purchase Money Obligations and stating that the Company thereby waives all rights to the withdrawal thereof and of the proceeds thereof pursuant to this Section, and any other rights with respect thereto; and

(ii) directing that the principal of such Purchase Money Obligations be applied as provided inclause (e) ofSection 8.07, specifying the Bonds to be paid or redeemed or for the payment or redemption of which payment is to be made.

Following any such waiver, the interest on any such Purchase Money Obligations shall be applied to the payment of interest, if any, on the Bonds to be paid or redeemed or for the payment or redemption of which provision is to be made, as specified in the aforesaid Company Order, as and when such interest shall become due from time to time, and any excess funds remaining from time to time after such application shall be applied to the payment of interest on any other Bonds as and when the same shall become due. Pending any such application, the

-76-

interest on such Purchase Money Obligations shall be invested in Investment Securities specified in a Company Order. The principal of any such Purchase Money Obligations shall be applied solely to the payment of principal of the Bonds to be paid or redeemed or for the payment or redemption of which provision is to be made, as specified in the aforesaid Company Order. Pending such application, the principal of such Purchase Money Obligations shall be invested in Eligible Obligations specified in a Company Order. The obligation of the Company to pay the principal of such Bonds when the same shall become due at Maturity, shall be offset and reduced by the amount of the proceeds of such Purchase Money Obligations then held, and to be applied, by the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph. In no event shall the Trustee be liable for determining whether any investment fits within the criteria set forth in “Investment Securities” or for any loss incurred in connection with the sale of any Investment Security pursuant to this Section. In the absence of a Company Order directing the Trustee to invest cash held by the Trustee hereunder, funds shall remain univested until the Trustee shall have received a Company Order directing the Trustee to invest such cash in another Investment Security. The Trustee shall not be accountable or liable for any losses resulting from the sale or depreciation in the market value of investments made pursuant to this Indenture and Company Orders.

SECTION 8.07.WITHDRAWAL OR OTHER APPLICATION OF FUNDED CASH.

Subject to the provisions ofSection 5.04 with respect to Deposited Cash and except as hereafter in this Section provided, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, any Funded Cash held by the Trustee, and any other cash which is required to be withdrawn, used or applied as provided in this Section,

(a) may be withdrawn from time to time by the Company free and clear of any Lien to the extent of the Adjusted Property Additions Basis (or, as provided below in thisclause (a), the Property Additions Basis) of Property Additions constituting Unfunded Property, described in an Expert’s Certificate, dated not more than ninety (90) days prior to the date of the Company Order requesting such withdrawal and complying withclause (ii) and, to the extent applicable,clause (iii) inSection 5.02(b), delivered to the Trustee;provided,however, that, for purposes of the above, the Property Additions Basis shall be substituted in lieu of the Adjusted Property Additions Basis if such Property Additions were acquired, made or constructed on or after the ninetieth (90th) day preceding the date of such Company Order;

(b) may be withdrawn from time to time by the Company free and clear of any Lien in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate principal amount of Bonds to the authentication and delivery of which the Company shall be entitled under the provisions ofSection 5.03 hereof, by virtue of compliance with all applicable provisions ofSection 5.03 (except as hereinafter in this Section otherwise provided);provided,however, that such withdrawal of cash shall operate as a waiver by the Company of the right to the authentication and delivery of such Bonds and, to such extent, no such Bonds may thereafter be authenticated and delivered hereunder; and any such Bonds which were the basis of such right to the authentication and delivery of Bonds so waived shall be deemed to have been made the basis of such withdrawal of cash;

-77-

(c) may be withdrawn from time to time by the Company free and clear of any Lien in an amount equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the aggregate principal amount of any Outstanding Bonds delivered to the Trustee;

(d) may, upon delivery of a Company Request to the Trustee, be used by the Trustee for the purchase of Bonds in the manner, at the time or times, in the amount or amounts, at the price or prices (not exceeding one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount thereof) and otherwise as directed or approved by the Company, all subject to the limitations hereafter in this Section set forth; or

(e) may, upon delivery of a Company Request to the Trustee, be applied by the Trustee to the payment (or provision therefor pursuant toArticle IX) at Stated Maturity of any Bonds or to the redemption (or similar provision therefor) of any Bonds which are, by their terms, redeemable, in each case of such series as may be designated by the Company, any such redemption to be in the manner and as provided inArticle VI, all subject to the limitations hereafter in this Section set forth.

Such moneys shall, from time to time, be paid or used or applied by the Trustee, as aforesaid, upon the request of the Company in a Company Order, and upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate stating that, to the knowledge of the signer, no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing. If and to the extent that the withdrawal of cash is based upon Property Additions (as permitted under the provisions ofclause (a) above), the Company shall, subject to the provisions of saidclause (a) and except as hereafter in this paragraph provided, comply withclauses (ii) through(v) ofSection 5.02(b) as if such Property Additions were made the basis for the authentication and delivery of Bonds equal in principal amount to seventy-five percent (75%) of the cash so to be withdrawn, but recognizing that the action to be taken is the release of Funded Cash rather than the authentication and delivery of Bonds. Any Property Additions which have become the basis for the withdrawal of cash pursuant to this Section shall constitute Funded Property. If and to the extent that the withdrawal of cash is based upon the right to the authentication and delivery of Bonds (as permitted under the provisions ofclause (b) above), the Company shall, except as hereafter in this paragraph provided, comply withSection 5.03(b) relating to such authentication and delivery, but recognizing that the action to be taken is the release of Funded Cash rather than the authentication and delivery of Bonds.

If the Company does not join in such appointment within fifteen (15) days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to make such appointment.

Should any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by anyco-trustee or separate trustee so appointed to more fully confirm to suchco-trustee or separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Company.

-106-

behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company.

Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.

The provisions ofSections 3.08,11.04 and11.05 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

If an appointment with respect to the Bonds of one or more series, or any Tranche thereof, shall be made pursuant to this Section, the Bonds of such series or Tranche may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:
