Where Demand Notes are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register, transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Demand Notes but of other denominations, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit registrations of transfer and exchanges, the Company shall issue Demand Notes at the Registrar’s request. The Company may charge for its expenses in transferring or exchanging a Demand Note.

 

The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Demand Note during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Demand Notes selected for redemption pursuant to Section 3.3 and ending at the close of business on the date of such redemption, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Demand Note selected for redemption in whole or in part.

Section 2.11. Temporary Demand Notes .

 

Until definitive Demand Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare temporary Demand Notes. Temporary Demand Notes shall be substantially in the form of definitive Demand Notes but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate.

A Default under clause (3) is not an Event of Default until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes notify the Company of the Default and the Company does not cure the Default within sixty (60) days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the Default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a “ Notice of Default .”

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes, by notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the principal of and accrued interest on all the Demand Notes to be due and payable. Upon such declaration the principal and interest owing on the then outstanding Demand Notes shall be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived, except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the acceleration.

 

Section 6.3. Other Remedies .

 

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment of principal and interest on the Demand Notes or to enforce the performance of any provision of the Demand Notes or this Indenture.

 

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Demand Notes or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Holder of Demand Notes in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

 

Section 6.4. Waiver of Past Defaults .

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes, by notice to the Trustee, may waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of and interest on the Demand Notes.

 

Section 6.5. Control by Majority .

 

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, is unduly prejudicial to

 

12

the rights of other Holders of the Demand Notes, or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

 

Section 6.6. Limitation on Suits .

during such sixty (60)-day period the Holders of a majority of principal amount of the then outstanding Demand Notes do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

 

A Certificateholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Holder of the Demand Notes or to obtain a preference or priority over another Holder of the Demand Notes.

 

Section 6.7. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment .

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Demand Note to receive payment of principal and interest on the Demand Note, on or after the date demand is made for payment therefor, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such demand date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

 

Section 6.8. Collection Suit by Trustee .

 

If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(1) or Section 6.1(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of principal and interest and fees remaining unpaid on the Demand Notes with respect to which the Event of Default occurred in each case at the rate per annum borne by the Demand Notes and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
