B. Pursuant to clause (iv) of Section 4(b) of the June 2009 RCC, the Corporation may amend the terms of the June 2009 RCC without the consent of the Covered Debtholders provided that such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt and an officer of the Corporation has delivered to the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt in the manner provided for in the indenture or other instrument under which such Covered Debt was issued a written certificate stating that, in his or her determination, such amendment or supplement is not adverse to the rights of the Holders of the then-effective Covered Debt.
