rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts the Bonds are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the Omnibus Proxy). Payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the Bonds will be made to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Trustee, on payable date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by Participants to Beneficial Owners will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in "street name," and will be the responsibility of such Participant and not of DTC (nor its nominee), the Issuer or the Trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. Payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest evidenced by the Bonds to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee as may be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Issuer or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the Beneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants. DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to the Bonds at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, Security certificates are required to be printed and delivered. The Issuer may decide to discontinue use of the system of book-entry transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, Bond certificates will be printed and delivered. Disconfinuance of DTC Services. In the event that (a) DTC determines not to continue to act as securities depository for the Bonds, or (b) the Issuer determines that DTC will no longer so act and delivers a written certificate to the Trustee to that effect, then the Issuer will discontinue the Book-Entry Only System with DTC for the Bonds. If the Issuer determines to replace DTC with another qualified securities depository, the Issuer will prepare or direct the preparation of a new single separate, fully registered Bond for each maturity of the Bonds registered in the name of such successor or substitute securities depository as are not inconsistent with the terms of the indenture or fiscal agent agreement executed in connection with the Bonds. If the Issuer fails to identify another qualified securities depository to replace the incumbent securities depository for the Bonds, then the Bonds will no longer be restricted to being registered in the Bond registration books in the name of the incumbent securities depository or its nominee, but will be registered in whatever name or names the incumbent securities depository or its nominee transferring or exchanging the Bonds designates. If the Book-Entry Only System is discontinued, the following provisions would also apply: (i) the Bonds will be made available in physical form, (ii) principal of, and redemption premiums, if any, on, the Bonds will be payable upon surrender thereof at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, (iii) interest on the Bonds will be payable by check mailed by first-class mail or, upon the written request of any Owner of $1,000,000 or more in aggregate principal amount of Bonds received by the Trustee on or prior to the 15th day of the calendar month immediately preceding the interest payment date, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account with a financial institution within the continental United States of America designated by such Owner, and (iv) the Bonds will be transferable and exchangeable as provided in the indenture or fiscal agent agreement executed in connection with the Bonds.
