Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Holder of Securities of any series issued under the Indenture (including the Notes) which pay interest on the same Interest Payment Date and which are in an aggregate principal amount in excess of $10,000,000 may elect to receive payments of interest with respect to such Securities (other than interest due at Maturity) via wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank in New York, New York (or other bank approved by the Paying Agent) by making arrangements therefor in writing (or such other means as deemed acceptable by the Paying Agent) with the Paying Agent not later than the Regular Record Date immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date.
