Redemption Date:

Treasury Issue, expressed as a percentage of its principal

or does not contain bid and/or asked prices for the Comparable
Treasury Issue at that time, the average of the Reference

Indenture, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of this
Security, by written notice to the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences as provided in the Indenture.
