Payment of principal, purchase price, premium and interest to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee asmay be requested by an authorized representative of DTC) is the responsibility of the Bond Trustee, disbursement ofsuch payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to theBeneficial Owners will be the responsibility of Direct and Indirect Participants.TendersA Beneficial Owner shall give notice to elect to have its Series 2008A Bonds purchased or tendered,through its Participant, to the Bond Trustee, and shall effect delivery of such Series 2008A Bonds by causing theDirect Participant to transfer the Participant’s interest in such Series 2008A Bonds, on DTC’s records, to the BondTrustee. The requirement for physical delivery of Series 2008A Bonds in connection with a demand for purchase ora mandatory purchase will be deemed satisfied when the ownership rights in the Series 2008A Bonds are transferredby Direct Participants on DTC’s records and followed by a book entry credit to the Bond Trustee.Discontinuance of DTC ServicesDTC may discontinue providing its services as securities depository with respect to the Series 2008ABonds at any time by giving notice to the Commission and Bond Trustee.
