sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that is authorized to be imposed in
connection therewith and any other expenses connected herewith.
(b) In the event that any Bond is lost, apparently destroyed or wrongfully taken, the
Paying Agent/Registrar, pursuant to the applicable laws of the State of Texas and in the absence
of notice or knowledge that such Bond has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, shall
authenticate and deliver a replacement Bond of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, provided that the Owner first:

other than an Owner, as shown in the Register, shall receive a Bond certificate evidencing the
obligation of the Corporation to make payments of amounts due pursuant to this Resolution.

determined to substitute a new nominee in place of Cede & Co., and subject to the provisions in

event DTC discontinues the services described herein, the Corporation or the Paying
Agent/Registrar shall (i) appoint a successor securities depository, qualified to act as such under

Owners transferring or exchanging Bonds shall designate, in accordance with the provisions of
this Resolution.
