The 2013 Series C Bonds shall be exchangeable upon surrender thereof at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York, for registered bonds of the same aggregate principal amount and other terms,
but of different authorized denomination or denominations, such exchanges to be made without service charge (except for any stamp tax
or other governmental charge).
When 2013 Series C Bonds are presented to the Trustee with a request (i) to register the transfer of such 2013 Series C Bonds;
or (ii) to exchange such 2013 Series C Bonds for 2013 Series C Bonds of the same series of any authorized denominations of the same
aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, the Trustee shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if its
reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however, that the 2013 Series C Bonds surrendered for transfer or
exchange: (A) shall be duly endorsed or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee, duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and (B) are accompanied by
the following additional information and documents, as applicable: (x) if such 2013 Series C Bonds are being delivered to the Company
by a holder for registration in the name of such holder, without transfer, a certification from such holder to that effect; or (y) if such
2013 Series C Bonds are being transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or (z) if such 2013 Series C Bonds are being
transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or in reliance upon another
exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect and (ii) if the Company so requests,
other evidence reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set forth in the legend set forth above.
Every 2013 Series C Bond so surrendered shall be accompanied by a proper transfer power duly executed by the registered
owner or by a duly authorized attorney transferring such 2013 Series C Bond to the Company, and the signature to such transfer power
shall be guaranteed to the satisfaction of the Trustee. All 2013 Series C Bonds so surrendered shall be forthwith canceled and delivered
to or upon the order of the Company. All 2013 Series C Bonds executed, authenticated and delivered in exchange for 2013 Series C
Bonds so surrendered shall be valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt as the 2013 Series C Bonds surrendered, and
shall be secured by the same lien and be entitled to the same benefits and protection as the 2013 Series C Bonds in exchange for which
they are executed, authenticated and delivered.
The Company shall not be required to make any such exchange or any registration of transfer after the 2013 Series C Bond so
presented for exchange or registration of transfer, or any portion thereof, has been called for redemption and notice thereof given to the
registered owner.
