<br />Section 8.8 Appointment of Successor Trustee by the Bondholders; Temporary Trustee.
<br />In case the Trustee hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in course of
<br />dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting hereunder, or in case it shall
<br />be taken under control of any public officer or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a
<br />successor may be appointed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of Bonds
<br />then outstanding, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by such owners, or
<br />by their attorneys-in-fact, duly authorized; provided, nevertheless, that in case of such vacancy,
<br />the Issuer, by an instrument executed by one of its duly authorized officers, may appoint a
<br />temporary Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall be appointed by the
<br />Bondholders in the manner above provided; and any such temporary Trustee so appointed by the
<br />Issuer shall immediately and without further act be superseded by the Trustee so appointed by such
<br />Bondholders. Every such Trustee appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be a
<br />trust company or bank, having a reported capital and surplus of not less than Fifty Million Dollars
<br />($50,000,000) if there be such an institution willing, qualified and able to accept the trust upon

<br />instrument in writing accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor,
<br />without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates,
<br />properties, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessor; but such predecessor
<br />shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its successor, execute and deliver an
<br />instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and
<br />trusts of such predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all securities and
<br />moneys held by it as Trustee hereunder to its successor. Should any instrument in writing from the
<br />Issuer be required by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor
<br />the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in the predecessor, any
<br />and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by
<br />the Issuer. The resignation of any Trustee and the instrument or instruments removing any Trustee
<br />and appointing a successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for in this
<br />Article, shall be filed by the successor Trustee in each office, if any, where the Indenture shall
<br />have been filed.
<br />Section 8.10 Trustee Protected in Relying Upon Resolutions, etc. Subject to the
<br />conditions contained herein, the resolutions, ordinances, opinions, certificates and other
<br />instruments provided for in this Indenture may be accepted by the Trustee as conclusive evidence
<br />of the facts and conclusions stated therein and shall be full warrant, protection and authority to the
<br />Trustee for the release of property and the withdrawal of cash hereunder. The Trustee may act on
<br />advice or opinion of Counsel and shall not be responsible for any loss or damage resulting from
<br />any action or nonaction by it taken or omitted to be taken in good faith and in reliance on such
<br />advice or opinion of Counsel. In the event the Trustee receives inconsistent or conflicting requests
<br />and indemnity from two or more groups of holders of the Bonds, each representing less than a
