In the event any Authority Bonds shall be purchased by the Company and cancelled pursuant to the Authority Indenture, Bonds corresponding in principal amount to the Authority Bonds so purchased and cancelled shall be deemed to be paid in full, and in the event and to the extent the principal of, and premium, if any, or interest on, any Authority Bonds is paid out of funds held by the Authority Trustee other than payments on Bonds, the corresponding payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest on, an aggregate principal amount of Bonds shall be deemed to have been satisfied.
In the event this Bond shall be deemed to have been paid in full, this Bond shall be surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. In the event this Bond shall be deemed to have been paid in part, this Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for notation hereon of the payment of the portion of the principal hereof so deemed to have been paid.
The Bonds are redeemable only as follows:
(a) The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Company, on or after February 1, 2017, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
(b) The Bonds are also subject to redemption at the direction of the Company, in whole, at any time prior to maturity, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, at any time the Authority Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii) of the Authority Indenture.
(c) The Bonds are also subject to special mandatory redemption at the direction of the Company, in part, prior to maturity, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, at such time and in such amount as the Authority Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii) of the Authority Indenture.

(d) The Bonds are also subject to mandatory redemption by the Company in whole if the Trustee shall receive a written demand from the Authority Trustee for redemption of all such Bonds held by the Authority Trustee stating that an “Event of Default” as defined in Section 9.01(a) of the Authority Indenture has occurred and is continuing and that payment of the principal of the Authority Bonds has been accelerated pursuant to Section 9.01(b) of the Authority Indenture, provided that at the time of notice of such redemption as provided in Section 2 of Article V of the Original Indenture (i) said written demand shall not have been withdrawn by the Authority Trustee, and (ii) no event of default under Section 1 of Article XI of the Original Indenture shall have occurred and be continuing.
If this Bond or any portion hereof is called for redemption and payment thereof is duly provided for as specified in the Indenture, interest shall cease to accrue hereon or on such portion, as the case may be, from and after the date fixed for redemption.
The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to its maturity date on the conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture upon the happening of an event of default, as in the Indenture provided; subject, however, to the right, under certain circumstances, of the registered owners of a majority in principal amount of Bonds outstanding to annul such declaration.
This Bond is transferable by the registered owner hereof in person or by attorney duly authorized in writing, on books of the Company to be kept for that purpose at the designated office of the Trustee in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania upon surrender hereof for cancellation at such office and upon presentation of a written instrument of transfer duly executed, and thereupon the Company shall issue in the name of the transferee or transferees, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Bond or Bonds in authorized denominations, of equal aggregate unpaid principal amount. Any such transfer or exchange shall be subject to the terms and conditions and to the payment of the charges specified in the Indenture.
The Company and the Trustee may deem and treat the registered owner of this Bond as the absolute owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal hereof and the interest hereon, and for all other purposes, and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

In the event this Bond shall be deemed to have been paid in part, this Bond shall be presented to the Trustee for notation hereon of the payment of the portion of the principal hereof so deemed to have been paid.
The Bonds are redeemable only as follows:
(e) The Bonds are subject to redemption prior to maturity, at the option of the Company, on or after February 1, 2017, in whole or in part, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the Bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
(f) The Bonds are also subject to redemption at the direction of the Company, in whole, at any time prior to maturity, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, at any time the Authority Bonds are subject to extraordinary optional redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(ii) of the Authority Indenture.
(g) The Bonds are also subject to special mandatory redemption at the direction of the Company, in part, prior to maturity, at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount of the bonds to be redeemed, plus interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption, at such time and in such amount as the Authority Bonds are subject to special mandatory redemption pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(iii) of the Authority Indenture.

The principal hereof may be declared or may become due prior to its maturity date on the conditions, in the manner and with the effect set forth in the Indenture upon the happening of an event of default, as in the Indenture provided; subject, however, to the right, under certain circumstances, of the registered owners of a majority in principal amount of Bonds outstanding to annul such declaration.
