The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the collateral bonds of the Salem Series 2004A, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Senior Note Trustee signed by one of its officers (i) stating that timely payment of principal of or premium or interest on, the Senior Notes of Salem Series 2004A has not been so made and (ii) providing the details of such nonpayment. |

Each Salem Series 2004A Redemption Demand also shall constitute a waiver by the Senior Note Trustee, as holder of all collateral bonds of the Salem Series 2004A then outstanding, of notice of redemption of the collateral bonds of the Salem Series 2004A. The Company waives any right it may have to prior notice of such redemption under the Original Indenture. Upon presentation of the collateral bonds of the Salem Series 2004A by the Senior Note Trustee to the Trustee, the collateral bonds of Salem Series 2004A shall be redeemed immediately at a redemption price equal to the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest thereon from the Salem Series 2004A Interest Accrual Date to the date of the Salem Series 2004A Redemption Demand; provided, however, that in the event of a rescission of acceleration of any of the Senior Notes of Salem Series 2004A pursuant to Section 802(e) of the Senior Note Indenture, then any Salem Series 2004A Redemption Demand shall thereby be deemed to be rescinded by the Senior Note Trustee; but no such rescission or annulment shall extend to or affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon. |

The collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A shall be redeemed on the respective dates, in the respective principal amounts and for the respective redemption prices that correspond to the redemption dates for, the principal amounts to be redeemed of, and the redemption prices for, the corresponding Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004A. Otherwise, the collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A shall not be redeemable except as set forth in the following paragraph. In the event the Company redeems or delivers to the Senior Note Trustee for cancellation any Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004A prior to maturity in accordance with the provisions of the Senior Note Indenture, collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A in principal amounts corresponding to the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004A so redeemed or cancelled shall be deemed to have been redeemed and the Senior Note Trustee is required to deliver to the Trustee for cancellation such collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A so redeemed, as provided in Section 1308 of the Senior Note Indenture. The Company agrees to give the Trustee notice of any such redemption or cancellation of any of the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004A on or before the date fixed for any such redemption or cancellation. The Senior Note Trustee, as holder of all collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A then outstanding, shall be deemed to have waived notice of any such redemption of such collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A. |

|||

"Cape May Series 2004A Interest Accrual Date") and demanding redemption of the corresponding collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A. Each Cape May Series 2004A Redemption Demand also shall constitute a waiver by the Senior Note Trustee, as holder of all collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A then outstanding, of notice of redemption of the collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004A. The Company waives any right it may have to prior notice of such redemption under the Original Indenture.

The Trustee may at any time and all times conclusively presume that the obligation of the Company to make payments with respect to the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004B, so far as such payments at the time have become due, has been fully satisfied and discharged pursuant to the foregoing sentence unless and until the Trustee shall have received a written notice from the Senior Note Trustee signed by one of its officers (i) stating that timely payment of principal of or premium or interest on, the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004B has not been so made and (ii) providing the details of such nonpayment. |

The Company agrees to give the Trustee notice of any such redemption or cancellation of any of the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004B on or before the date fixed for any such redemption or cancellation. The Senior Note Trustee, as holder of all collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004B then outstanding, shall be deemed to have waived notice of any such redemption of such collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004B. |
|||
|
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Senior Note Indenture and the acceleration of any of the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004B pursuant to Section 802(a) or 802(b) thereof, the Company shall redeem the corresponding collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004B in whole upon receipt by the Company of a written demand (hereinafter called a "Cape May Series 2004B Redemption Demand") from the Senior Note Trustee stating that there has occurred under the Senior Note Indenture both an Event of Default and a declaration of acceleration of payment of principal, accrued interest and premium, if any, on the Senior Notes of Cape May Series 2004B pursuant to Section 802(a) or 802(b) thereof, specifying the last date to which interest on such senior notes has been paid (such date being hereinafter referred to as the "Cape May Series 2004B Interest Accrual Date") and demanding redemption of the corresponding collateral bonds of the Cape May Series 2004B.
