The Trustee shall not be responsible for any recitals herein or in the Debentures, or for the sufficiency of the Stock Pledge for the Debentures or interest, if any, appertaining thereto. The Trustee shall have no responsibility hereunder except to the extent of the duties placed upon the Trustee to perform the other express covenants and agreements made by the Trustee under the provisions of this Indenture.
5.2 Reliance by Trustee. The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture upon any notice, requisition, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram, or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons, and the Trustee shall not be bound to recognize any person as an owner of Debentures or to take any action at his request, unless the Debenture or Debentures owned by such owner of Debentures shall be deposited with the Trustee, be registered in the name of such owner on the Debenture Registration Books kept by the Trustee, or submitted to it for inspection. Any action taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any person who, at the time of making such request, or giving such authority or consent, is the owner of any Debenture secured hereby, shall be conclusive and binding upon all future owners of the same Debenture and of Debentures issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.
a. The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with a direction of the owners of Debentures pursuant to any provision of this Indenture relating to the time, method, and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture.
b. No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee (i) to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, nor (ii) to take any action, whether or not directed to take such action by the owners of Debentures, pursuant to this Indenture, which in the judgment of the Trustee would conflict with any rule of law, or with the terms of this Indenture, or would be unjustly prejudicial to the owners of Debentures not taking part in such direction. When acting pursuant to the direction of any owners of Debentures pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee may take other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction; provided, however, that the terms of this subsection b shall not impose any additional duties or responsibilities upon the Trustee and shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection a. of this Section 5.3.

5.6 Fees. The Issuer has agreed that the Issuer shall pay to the Trustee its charges for performing the duties of Trustee, Registrar, Paying Agent and Conversion Agent for the Debentures.
5.7 The Trustee shall not be personally liable for any act it may do or omit to do hereunder as Trustee, while acting in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and any act done or omitted by it pursuant to the advice of its own attorney shall be conclusive evidence of such good faith. The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.
