"SECTION 14.15 AMENDMENTS TO THE COLLATERAL AGREEMENTS NOT REQUIRING CONSENT OF THE HOLDERS.

The Issuers may enter into and the Trustee consent to, without the consent of or notice to the Holders, any amendment, change or modification of the Collateral Agreements as are necessary or desirable to:

Except for the amendments, changes or modifications corresponding to those provided in Section 14.15 hereof, neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall consent to any other amendment, change or modification of the Collateral Agreements without the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Securities then Outstanding; provided, however, that nothing herein shall permit or be construed as permitting, without the consent of the Holders of all the Securities, (a) an extension of the time of payment of any amounts payable under the Securities or Funding Note, or (b) a reduction in the amount of any payment to be made with respect to the Securities or the Funding Note, or the rate of interest on any Security or the Funding Note, or (c) the creation of a lien upon or pledge of the money or other assets pledged to the payment of the Securities and the Funding Note hereunder contrary to the provisions of this Indenture or the Funding Note Indenture, or the release of any such assets from the lien of this Indenture or the Funding Note Indenture, or (d) a preference or priority of any Security or Securities over any other Security or Security, or (e) a reduction in the aggregate Principal amount of the Securities required for consent to any such amendment, change or modification as provided herein, or (f) an extension or reduction in the payment of any other amount payable on or in connection with this Indenture or the Funding Note Indenture or any Security issued hereunder. If at any time the Issuers request consent to any such proposed amendment, change or modification of any of such documents, other than an amendment, change, or modification permitted by this Section 14.16 hereof, the Trustee shall, at the expense of the Issuer, cause notice of such proposed amendment, change or modification to be mailed, postage prepaid, to Holders. Such notice shall briefly set forth the nature of such proposed amendment, change or modification and shall state that copies of the amendment to such document embodying the same are on file at the designated office of the Trustee for inspection by Holders. The Trustee shall not, however, be subject to any liability to any Holders by reason of its failure to mail the notice required by this Section, and any such failure shall not affect the validity of such supplement or amendment to such document when consented to and approved as provided in this Section.
Whenever, at any time within one year after the date of mailing such notice, the Issuers deliver to the Trustee an instrument or instruments in writing purporting to be executed by the Holders of at least a majority of the principal amount of Securities then Outstanding, which instrument or instruments shall refer to the proposed amendment or supplement to the document described in such notice and shall specifically consent to and approve the execution thereof in substantially the form of the copy thereof referred to in such notice, thereupon but not otherwise, the Issuer and/or the Trustee may execute such amendment in substantially the form on file as provided above, without liability or responsibility to any Holder of any Security, whether or not such Holder has consented thereto.
SECTION 14.17. PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE EXECUTION AND DELIVERY OF AMENDMENTS. The Trustee shall not be under any responsibility or liability to the Issuers or to any Holder or to anyone whomsoever for its refusal in good faith to enter into any supplement or amendment as provided in Sections 14.15 and 14.16 if such supplement or amendment is deemed by it to be contrary to the provisions of such Sections or adversely affects the rights, liabilities or indemnities of the Holders, or if the Trustee has received a written Opinion of Counsel that such supplement or amendment is contrary to law or materially adverse to the rights of the Holders.
No such supplement or amendment shall be effective until the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture."
