Neither the State nor any political subdivision thereof shall in any event be
liable for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Bonds, or for the
performance of any pledge, deed of trust, obligation or agreement of any kind
whatsoever that may be undertaken by the Issuer, and none of the Bonds or any of

pledge of the faith and credit of the State or any political subdivision thereof
within the meaning of any constitutional or statutory provision whatsoever, and

political subdivisions to levy or to pledge any form of taxation whatsoever
therefor or to make an appropriation for the payment thereof; nor shall any
breach of any such pledge, deed of trust, obligation or agreement impose any
pecuniary liability upon any member, officer, employee or agent of the Issuer,
or any charge upon the general credit of the Issuer, or any pecuniary liability
upon the Issuer payable from any moneys, revenues, payments and proceeds other

THEREON, NOR IN ANY EVENT SHALL THE BONDS BE PAYABLE OUT OF ANY FUNDS OR
PROPERTIES OTHER THAN THOSE OF THE ISSUER SPECIFICALLY PLEDGED THERETO. THE
BONDS SHALL NOT CONSTITUTE AN INDEBTEDNESS WITHIN THE MEANING OF ANY
CONSTITUTIONAL OR STATUTORY DEBT LIMITATION OR RESTRICTION. THE ISSUER HAS NO
TAXING POWER.

thereafter at a rate of six and 375/1000 percent (6.375%) per annum calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months, until paid on
the Maturity Date or upon earlier redemption or acceleration, unless and until
there shall have occurred an Involuntary Retirement, in which event the Bond
shall bear interest at a rate of seven and one-eighth percent (7.125%) per
annum, calculated as aforesaid, of which amount .75% shall be payable only from

discharged and after which the Bonds shall be deemed to be paid and no longer be
secured by or entitled to the benefits of the Indenture, except for the purposes
of registration and exchange of Bonds and of such payment.

           Modifications. Modifications or alterations of the Indenture, or of
any supplements thereto, may be made only to the extent and in the circumstances
