permitted by the Indenture. The Security Registrar need not register the transfer of or exchange of any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities for a period of 15 days prior to a selection of Securities to be redeemed.

 

8.             Persons Deemed Owners

 

The registered Holder of this Security shall be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.

10.          Discharge and Defeasance

 

Subject to certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to redemption, or maturity, as the case may be.

obligations of the Company under the Securities, the Indenture, or the Mortgage or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation.  Each Holder of Securities by accepting a Security waives and releases all such liability.
