The Notes shall be numbered from 1 consecutively upward, shall be in the denomination of $1,000 each or any integral multiple thereof. "CUSIP" identification numbers shall be imprinted on the Notes,but such numbers shall not constitute a part of the contract evidenced by the Notes and any error or omission with respect thereto shall not constitute cause for refusal of any purchaser to accept delivery of and pay for the Notes. In addition, failure on the part of the Board to use such CUSIP numbers in any notice to registered owners of the Notes shall not constitute an event of default or any violation of the Board's contract with such registered owners and shall not impair the effectiveness of any such notice. Except as provided below, the owner of all of the Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company, New York, New York ("DTC"), and the Notes shall be registered in the name of Cede&Co.,as nominee for DTC.

Whenever DTC requests the Board to do so, the Board will cooperate with DTC in taking appropriate action after reasonable notice to (a) make available one or more separate Notes evidencing the Notes to any DTC Participant having Notes credited to its DTC account or (b) arrange for another securities depository to maintain custody of Certificates evidencing the Notes. -2- Notwithstanding any other provision of this Resolution to the contrary, so long as any Note is registered in the name of Cede &Co.,as nominee of DTC, all payments with respect to the principal and interest with respect to such Note and all notices with respect to such Note shall be made and given,respectively, to DTC as provided in the representation letter delivered on the date of issuance of the Notes.
