(b) Except as otherwise determined by the Board of Managers in its reasonable discretion, the Company and the Corporation shall not undertake any subdivision (by any Unit split, stock split, Unit distribution, stock distribution, reclassification, division, recapitalization or similar event) or combination (by reverse Unit split, reverse stock split, reclassification, division, recapitalization or similar event) of the Common Units, Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock that is not accompanied by an identical subdivision or combination of the applicable classes of Units or stock to maintain at all times (x) a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or (y) a one-to-one ratio between the number of Common Units owned by Members (other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries) and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, in each case, unless such action is necessary to maintain at all times a one-to-one ratio between either the number of Common Units owned, directly or indirectly, by the Corporation and the number of outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock or the number of Common Units owned by Members (other than the Corporation and its Subsidiaries) and the number of outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock as contemplated by Section 3.04(a)(i).

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries (other than the Company and its Subsidiaries) acquires or holds any material amount of cash in excess of any monetary obligations it reasonably anticipates, the Corporation and the Board of Managers may, in their sole discretion, use such excess cash amount in such manner, and make such adjustments to or take such other actions with respect to the capitalization of the Corporation and the Company, as the Corporation and the Board of Managers in good faith determine to be fair and reasonable to the shareholders of the Corporation and to the Members and to preserve the intended economic effect of this Section 3.04, Article XI and the other provisions hereof.
Execution of Notes Notes shall be signed in the name and on behalf of the Issuer by the manual or facsimile signature of an Officer. The Trustee will, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, authenticate Notes for original issue that may be validly issued under this Indenture, including any Additional Notes. The aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding at any time may not exceed the aggregate principal amount of Notes authorized for issuance by the Issuer pursuant to one or more Authentication Orders, except as provided in Sections 2.07 and 2.08 hereof. Only such Notes as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form set forth on the form of Notes attached as Exhibit A1 hereto, executed manually by the Trustee (or an authenticating agent appointed by the Trustee as provided by Section 16.11), shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee (or such an authenticating agent) upon any Note executed by the Issuer shall be conclusive evidence that the Note so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. In case any Officer who shall have signed any of the Notes shall cease to be such Officer before the Notes so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Issuer, such Notes nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such Notes had not ceased to be such Officer, and any Note may be signed on behalf of the Issuer by such persons as, at the actual date of the execution of such Note, shall be the proper Officers, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such an Officer.
Authorization of Notes The Company will authorize the issue and sale of $110,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.47% Senior Notes due September 30, 2030 (the “Notes”, such term to include any such notes issued in substitution therefor pursuant to Section 13). The Notes shall be substantially in the form set out in Exhibit 1. Certain capitalized and other terms used in this Agreement are defined in Schedule B; and references to a “Schedule” or an “Exhibit” are, unless otherwise specified, to a Schedule or an Exhibit attached to this Agreement.

Prior to the issuance of any additional Shares pursuant to stock dividends, stock splits or otherwise, and prior to any reduction in the number of Shares outstanding, the Customer shall deliver the following documents to the Bank: (a) A certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors and/or the shareholders of the Customer authorizing such issuance of additional Shares of the Customer or such reduction, as the case may be; (b) A certified copy of the order or consent of each governmental or regulatory authority required by law as a prerequisite to the issuance or reduction of such Shares, as the case may be, and an opinion of counsel for the Customer that no other order or consent is required; and (c) An opinion of counsel for the Customer, in a form satisfactory to the Bank, with respect to the validity of the Shares, the obtaining of all necessary governmental consents, whether such Shares are fully paid and non-assessable and the status of such Shares under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any other applicable law or regulation (i.e., if subject to registration, that they have been registered and that the Registration Statement has become effective, or, if exempt, the specific grounds therefor).
Terms of Notes The following terms relating to the Notes are hereby established: (a) The Notes shall constitute a series of securities having the title “4.80% Senior Notes due 2021”. (b) The aggregate principal amount of the Original Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture (except for Notes authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Notes pursuant to Sections 2.05, 2.06, 2.07 or 9.04 of the Base Indenture) shall be up to $500,000,000. (c) The entire outstanding principal of the Notes shall be payable on July 15, 2021 plus any unpaid interest accrued to such date. (d) The rate at which the Notes shall bear interest shall be 4.80% per annum; the date from which interest shall accrue on the Notes shall be July 15, 2011 or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid; the Interest Payment Dates for the Notes on which interest will be payable shall be January 15 and July 15 in each year, beginning January 15, 2012; the regular record dates for the interest payable on the Notes on any Interest Payment Date shall be the January 1 and July 1 preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; and the basis upon which interest on the Notes shall be calculated shall be that of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. (i) The Notes may be redeemed in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at the option of the Issuer. The redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) of the Notes to be redeemed shall be calculated as follows, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount being redeemed to the redemption date: (A) If the redemption date is prior to April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed and (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points. (B) If the redemption date is on or after April 15, 2021, the Notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed. (A) In case the Issuer shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Notes in accordance with Section 1.01(e)(i) above, the Issuer shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Notes to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date fixed for redemption to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered holder received the notice. In any case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Note designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Note. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the Redemption Price at which the Notes to be redeemed are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the Redemption Price of such Notes to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Issuer in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Notes, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice and, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue; except that interest shall continue to accrue on any Note or portion thereof with respect to which the Issuer defaults in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of the Notes to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Notes to be redeemed. In case the Notes are to be redeemed in part only, the notice shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such security, a new Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued. (B) If less than all the Notes are to be redeemed, the Issuer shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Notes to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof) of the principal amount of such series of Notes of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Notes to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the numbers of the Notes to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Issuer may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Notes for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Issuer or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Issuer shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice that may be required under the provisions of this Section. Subject to Section 2.11 of the Base Indenture, the Issuer shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Notes during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of the Notes selected for redemption and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Notes so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any such Notes being redeemed in part. If the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided, the Notes or portions of the Notes to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, and interest on such Notes shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Issuer shall default in the payment of such Redemption Price and accrued interest. (iii) As used herein:
Issuance of Notes The Owner Trustee is hereby authorized and directed on behalf of the Trust to execute, issue and deliver the Notes pursuant to the Indenture.
Issuance and Terms of Equipment Notes The Equipment Notes shall be dated the date of issuance thereof, shall be issued in three separate series consisting of Series A, Series B and Series C and in the maturities and principal amounts and shall bear interest as specified in Schedule I hereto. On the date of the consummation of the Transactions, each Equipment Note shall be issued to the Subordination Agent on behalf of the Pass Through Trustees under the Pass Through Trust Agreements. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in registered form only. The Equipment Notes shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof, except that one Equipment Note of each Series may be in an amount that is not an integral multiple of $1,000. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Debt Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on the unpaid Original Amount thereof from time to time outstanding, payable in arrears on April 1, 1998, and on each October 1 and April 1 thereafter until maturity. The Original Amount of each Equipment Note shall be payable on the dates and in the installments equal to the corresponding percentage of the Original Amount as set forth in Schedule I hereto which shall be attached as Schedule I to the Equipment Notes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the final payment made under each Equipment Note shall be in an amount sufficient to discharge in full the unpaid Original Amount and all accrued and unpaid interest on, and any other amounts due under, such Equipment Note. Each Equipment Note shall bear interest at the Payment Due Rate (calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days comprised of twelve 30-day months) on any part of the Original Amount, Make-Whole Amount, if any, and, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, interest and any other amounts payable thereunder not paid when due for any period during which the same shall be overdue, in each case for the period the same is overdue. Amounts shall be overdue if not paid when due (whether at stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if any date on which a payment under any Equipment Note becomes due and payable is not a Business Day then such payment shall not be made on such scheduled date but shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and if such payment is made on such next succeeding Business Day, no interest shall accrue on the amount of such payment during such extension.
Evidence of Compliance of Supplemental Indenture to Be Furnished to Trustee Prior to entering into any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article 9, the Trustee shall be provided with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant hereto complies with the requirements of this Article 9 and is otherwise authorized or permitted by this Indenture.
Amendments to Servicing Agreements, Modification of Standard Provisions (a) Subject to the prior written consent of the Trustee pursuant to Section 3.07(b), the Master Servicer from time to time may, to the extent permitted by the applicable Servicing Agreement, make such modifications and amendments to such Servicing Agreement as the Master Servicer deems necessary or appropriate to confirm or carry out more fully the intent and purpose of such Servicing Agreement and the duties, responsibilities and obligations to be performed by the Servicer thereunder. Such modifications may only be made if they are consistent with the REMIC Provisions, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel. Prior to the issuance of any modification or amendment, the Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee such Opinion of Counsel and an Officer's Certificate setting forth (i) the provision that is to be modified or amended, (ii) the modification or amendment that the Master Servicer desires to issue and (iii) the reason or reasons for such proposed amendment or modification. (b) The Trustee shall consent to any amendment or supplement to a Servicing Agreement proposed by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(a), which consent and amendment shall not require the consent of any Certificateholder if it is (i) for the purpose of curing any mistake or ambiguity or to further effect or protect the rights of the Certificateholders or (ii) for any other purpose, provided such amendment or supplement for such other purpose cannot reasonably be expected to adversely affect Certificateholders. The lack of reasonable expectation of an adverse effect on Certificateholders may be established through the delivery to the Trustee of (i) an Opinion of Counsel to such effect or (ii) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect that such amendment or supplement will not result in reduction of the current rating assigned by that Rating Agency to the Certificates. Notwithstanding the two immediately preceding sentences, the Trustee may, in its discretion, decline to enter into or consent to any such supplement or amendment if its own rights, duties or immunities shall be adversely affected. (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 3.07, the Master Servicer from time to time may, without the consent of any Certificateholder or the Trustee, enter into an amendment (A) to an Other Servicing Agreement for the purpose of (i) eliminating or reducing Month End Interest and (ii) providing for the remittance of Full Unscheduled Principal Receipts by the applicable Servicer to the Master Servicer not later than the 24th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day) or (B) to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purpose of changing the applicable Remittance Date to the 18th day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the previous Business Day). (ii) The Master Servicer may direct WFHM to enter into an amendment to the WFHM Servicing Agreement for the purposes described in Sections 3.07(c)(i)(B) and 10.01(b)(iii).
