SECTION 4. Except as provided in this Section 4, the 2013 Bonds shall not be redeemable.
Upon the notice and in the manner and with the effect provided in the Mortgage and in this Section 4, the 2013 Bonds shall be redeemable by the Company prior to the maturity thereof out of monies deposited with the Trustee representing the proceeds of mortgaged and pledged property taken by the exercise of the power of eminent domain or otherwise as provided in paragraph B of Section 69 of the Mortgage, at the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds as to be redeemed and accrued interest to the date of redemption.
Upon the notice and in the manner and with the effect provided in this Section 4, the 2013 Bonds shall be redeemable prior to the maturity thereof, as a whole or in part at any time, at the option of the Company, at a redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date of redemption, equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds being redeemed; and (ii) the sum of the present values of the principal amount of the 2013 Bonds to be redeemed and the remaining scheduled payments of interest on the 2013 Bonds from the redemption date to July 1, 2013, discounted from their respective scheduled payment dates to the redemption date semi-annually, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months at a discount rate equal to the Treasury Yield plus thirty-five (35) basis points.

"Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any date of redemption, (i) the average of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, on the third business day preceding the redemption date, as set forth in the daily statistical release published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities," or (ii) if this release is not published or does not contain such prices on the business day in question, the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotation for the redemption date.

Unless the Company defaults in payment of the redemption price, from and after the date of redemption, the 2013 Bonds or portions thereof called for redemption will cease to bear interest, and the holders of the 2013 Bonds will have no right in respect of the 2013 Bonds except the right to receive the redemption price.
No sinking fund is provided for the 2013 Bonds.
SECTION 5. (a) The 2013 Bonds will be issued in registered form only, without coupons, and except under the circumstances described in subsection (b)(2) or (b)(4) of this Section 5, the 2013 Bonds will be issued in global form only. The Company shall cause the agent for the registration, transfer and exchange named in Section 3(b) (the "Transfer Agent") to maintain a register (the "Register") of the 2013 Bonds, for registering the record ownership of 2013 Bonds by the holders thereof and transfers and exchanges of 2013 Bonds.
(b) (1) Each Global Bond will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereon will bear the DTC Legend.
(2) Each Global Bond will be delivered to the Transfer Agent as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Bond (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (i) as set forth in Section 5(b)(4) and (ii) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Bonds may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Transfer Agent by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 6.
(3) Agent Members will have no rights under the Mortgage or this Forty- Seventh Supplemental Indenture with respect to any Global Bond held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and holder of such Global Bond for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any person (including any Agent Member and any person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Bond through an Agent Member) to take any action which a holder is entitled to take under the Mortgage or this Forty-Seventh Supplemental Indenture or the 2013 Bonds, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security.
(4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Bond and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice, or (y) a completed default (as defined in the Mortgage) has occurred and is continuing and the Transfer Agent has received a request from the Depositary, or (z) the Company determines that the 2013 Bonds will no longer be represented by Global Bonds, the Transfer Agent will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in each Global Bond for one or more Certificated Bonds of the same series in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Transfer Agent by the Depositary, and thereupon each Global Bond will be deemed canceled. If a Global Bond does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Bonds issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If a Global Bond bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Bonds issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any holder of any such Certificated Bond issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Bond will have the right upon presentation to the Transfer Agent of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Bond for a Certificated Bond of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such holder.
(c) A holder may transfer a 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) to another person or exchange a 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) for another 2013 Bond or 2013 Bonds of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Transfer Agent a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 6. The Transfer Agent will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the Register maintained by the Transfer Agent for the purpose; provided that
(x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in the Register and
(y) the Transfer Agent will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any 2013 Bond for a period of ten (10) days before any interest payment date of such bonds, (ii) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any 2013 Bond for a period of fifteen (15) days before a selection of 2013 Bonds to be redeemed or purchased, (iii) to register the transfer of or exchange any 2013 Bond so selected for redemption or purchase in whole or in part, except, in the case of a partial redemption or purchase, that portion of any 2013 Bond not being redeemed or purchased, or (iv) if a redemption or a purchase is to occur after a record date but on or before the corresponding interest payment date, to register the transfer of or exchange any 2013 Bond on or after the record date and before the date of redemption or purchase. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the person in whose name any 2013 Bond is registered as the owner and holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the 2013 Bond is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary.
(d) From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional 2013 Bonds as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section.
(e) No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any 2013 Bond, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than a transfer tax or other similar governmental charge payable upon exchange pursuant to subsection (b)(4)).

Any beneficial interest in one Global Bond that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Bond, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Bond of the same series, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Bond and become an interest in the other Global Bond and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Bond for as long as it remains such an interest.
(2) If a Certificated Bond is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Bond, the Transfer Agent will (x) cancel the Certificated Bond being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Bonds in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the holder of the canceled Certificated Bond (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or holder, as applicable, and (if such transferor exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Bond) deliver to the holder thereof one or more Certificated Bonds in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Bond, registered in the name of the holder thereof.
SECTION 6. (a) The transfer or exchange of any 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section and Section 5 and, in the case of a Global Bond (or a beneficial interest therein), the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Transfer Agent shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence.
(b) Subject to paragraph (c), the transfer or exchange of any 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth in column A below for a 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein) of the type set forth opposite in column B below may only be made in compliance with the certification requirements (if any) described in the clause of this paragraph set forth opposite in column C below.

In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Transfer Agent or (ii) a 2013 Bond that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Transfer Agent will deliver a Certificated Bond that does not bear the Restricted Legend.

(2) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement.
Any Certificated Bond delivered in reliance upon this paragraph will not bear the Restricted Legend.
(d) The Transfer Agent will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a 2013 Bond (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Transfer Agent.

Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Transfer Agent will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Bond, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Bond by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Bond by the amount of such beneficial interest.
(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, beneficial interests in a Temporary Offshore Global Bond may be held through the Depositary only through Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants.
