No charge shall be made by the Company to the registered owner of any bond of Series 2006 for the registration of transfer of such bond or for the exchange thereof for bonds of the same series of other authorized denominations, except, in the case of any transfer, a charge sufficient to reimburse the Company for any stamp or other tax or governmental charge required to be paid by the Company or the Trustee.

SECTION 2.09. Mandatory Redemption.
