Except as otherwise provided in this Trust Instrument, payment of the redemption price shall be in cash; provided, however, that to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Trustees may authorize the Trust to make payment wholly or partly in securities or other assets belonging to the applicable Series at the value of such securities or assets used in such determination of Net Asset Value. Subject to the foregoing, the fair value, selection, and quantity of securities or other assets so paid or delivered as all or part of the redemption price may be determined by or under the authority of the Trustees. In no case shall the Trust or the Trustees be liable for any delay of any Person in transferring securities selected for delivery as all or part of the redemption price. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Trust may postpone payment of the redemption price and may suspend the right of the holders of Shares of any Series or Class to require the Trust to redeem Shares of that Series or Class during any period or at any time when and to the extent permissible under the 1940 Act. (c) If a Shareholder shall submit a request for the redemption of a greater number of Shares than are then allocated to such Shareholder, such request shall not be honored.

Any redemption pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be made upon not less than thirty (30) days' nor more than sixty (60) days' notice to the holder of the Debentures, at the Redemption Price. If the Debentures are only partially redeemed pursuant to this Section 3.3(a), the Debentures shall be redeemed pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion. The Redemption Price shall be paid prior to 12:00 noon, New York time, on the date of such redemption or at such earlier time as the Company determines provided that the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount sufficient to pay the Redemption Price by 10:00 a.m., New York time, on the date such Redemption Price is to be paid.

• Optional Redemption by Company (a) Subject to Article XI of the Base Indenture, the Company shall have the right to redeem the Notes, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at a redemption price (the “Optional Redemption Price”) equal to the greater of: (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; or (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest in respect of the Notes to be redeemed discounted to the Redemption Date (excluding interest accrued to the Redemption Date) on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the Treasury Rate plus 35 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Redemption Date. On and after a Redemption Date, interest will cease to accrue on the Notes called for redemption (unless the Company defaults in the payment of the Optional Redemption Price and accrued interest). On or before a Redemption Date, the Company will deposit with a Paying Agent (or the Trustee) money sufficient to pay the Optional Redemption Price of and accrued interest on the Notes to be redeemed on that date. If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed, the Notes to be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee pro rata or by lot or by a method the Trustee deems to be fair and appropriate; provided that if at the time of redemption the Notes to be redeemed are registered as one or more Global Securities, the Depositary shall determine, in accordance with its procedures, the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed held by each Holder of such Notes. (b) Notice of any redemption pursuant to this Section 4.1 shall be given as provided in Section 1104 of the Base Indenture, except that any notice of such redemption shall not specify the related Optional Redemption Price but only the manner of calculation thereof. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the calculation of such Optional Redemption Price. The Company shall calculate such Optional Redemption Price and promptly notify the Trustee thereof.

The redemption price may in any case or cases be paid in cash or wholly or partly in kind in accordance with Rule 18f-1 under the 1940 Act if the Trustees determine that such payment is advisable in the interest of the remaining Shareholders of the Series of which the Shares are being redeemed.
