SECTION 7. (a) Except as provided in subsections (c) and (g) below, the holder of all of the bonds of Series 1997-2 shall be the Depository Trust Company ("DTC") and the bonds of said Series shall be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC.

Upon initial issuance, the ownership of such bonds of said Series shall be registered in the bond register kept by the Trustee in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC. So long as the bonds of said Series are evidenced by Global Bonds, the Trustee and the Company may treat DTC (or its nominee) as the sole and exclusive holder of the bonds of Series 1997-2 registered in its name for the purposes of payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds of said Series or portion thereof to be redeemed, and of giving any notice permitted or required to be given to holders under the Indenture and neither the Trustee nor the Company shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. Neither the Trustee nor the Company shall have any responsibility or obligation to any of DTC's participants (each, a "Participant"), any person claiming a beneficial ownership in the bonds of Series 1997-2 under or through DTC or any Participant (each, a "Beneficial Owner"), or any other person which is not shown on the bond register maintained by the Trustee as being a holder, with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC or any Participant, the payment by DTC or any Participant of any amount in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the bonds of said Series; any notice which is permitted or required to be given to holders under the Indenture of bonds of Series 1997-2; the selection by DTC or any Participant of any person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the bonds of Series 1997-2 maturing June 1, 2017; or any consent given or other action taken by DTC as bondholder. The Trustee shall pay all principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds of Series 1997-2 registered in the name of Cede & Co. only to or "upon the order of" DTC (as that term is used in the Uniform Commercial Code as adopted in Illinois and New York), and all such payments shall be valid and effective to fully satisfy and discharge the Company's obligations with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such bonds of said Series to the extent of the sum or sums so paid. Except as otherwise provided in Section 7(c) and (g) below, no person other than DTC shall receive authenticated bond certificates evidencing the obligation of the Company to make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds of said Series. Upon delivery by DTC to the Trustee of written notice to the effect that DTC has determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provision of the Indenture with respect to transfers of bonds, the word "Cede & Co." in this Supplemental Indenture shall refer to such new nominee of DTC. (c) All Global Bonds shall be exchangeable for bonds of Series 1997-2 in certificated form registered in the names of Participants and/or Beneficial Owners if, but only if, (i) DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for bonds of said Series or at any time ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company instructs the Trustee that such Global Bonds shall be exchangeable or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an event of default or an event that with notice or passage of time, or both, would constitute an event of default. In any such event, the Trustee shall issue, transfer and exchange bond certificates as requested by DTC in appropriate amounts pursuant to Article I of the Indenture and Section 1 of this Supplemental Indenture. The Company shall pay all costs in connection with the production, execution and delivery of such bond certificates. If bond certificates are issued, the provisions of the Indenture shall apply to, among other things, the transfer and exchange of such certificates and the method of payment and principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such certificates. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Supplemental Indenture to the contrary, so long as any bonds of Series 1997-2 are evidenced by Global Bonds, registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the bonds of said Series and all notices with respect to the bonds of said Series shall be made and given, respectively, to DTC as provided in the representation letter relating to the bonds of said Series among DTC, the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee is hereby authorized and directed to comply with all terms of the representation letter.
