 Section 1.  Wherever in the original Indenture or in any of the fifty- one

cle or section as amended by such supplemental indentures.
 
 Section 2.  Upon the execution and delivery hereof, the Indenture shall
thereupon be deemed to be amended as hereinabove set forth as fully and with
the same effect as if the amendments made hereby were set forth in the
original Indenture and each of the fifty-one supplemental indentures to the

instrument; but such amendments shall not operate so as to render invalid or
improper any action heretofore taken under the original Indenture or said
supplemental indentures.

 Section 5. This Fifty-First Supplemental Indenture may be simultaneously exe-
cuted in any number of counterparts, and all such counterparts shall consti-
tute but one and the same instrument.
 
 Section 6. Whenever a payment of principal or interest in respect of the
bonds of Series AAA is due on any day other than a Business Day (as hereinaf-
ter defined), such payment shall be payable on the first Business Day next
following such date, and, in the case of a principal payment, interest on such
principal payment shall accrue to the date of such principal payment. For the
purposes of this Section 6 the term Business Day shall mean any day other than
a day on which the Trustee is authorized by law to close.
