The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee's own
rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.
Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears
on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Section 3.14. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may
execute, and, upon receipt of the documents required by Section 303, together with a Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate
and make available for delivery, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine,
as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared
without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment, without charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations and of like tenor and terms. Until
so exchanged the temporary Securities of such series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series.
Section 3.15. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept a register or registers
(herein sometimes referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of Securities, or of Securities of a particular series, and for transfers of Securities or of
Securities of such series. Any such register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form
within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the information contained in such register or registers shall be available for
inspection by the Trustee at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 1002. There shall be only
one Security Register per series of Securities.
