			Section 14.3.Binding Effect. Any amendment or waiver applicable to this Agreement or the Seventh Supplemental Indenture consented to as provided in this Section 14 applies equally to all holders of 2019 Series A Bonds and is binding upon them and upon each future holder of any 2019 Series A Bond and upon the Company without regard to whether such 2019 Series A Bond has been marked to indicate such amendment or waiver.  No such amendment or waiver will extend to or affect any obligation, covenant, agreement, Default or Event of Default not expressly amended or waived or impair any right consequent thereon.  No course of dealing between the Company and the holder of any 2019 Series A Bond nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder or under any 2019 Series A Bond shall operate as a waiver of any rights of any holder of such 2019 Series A Bond.  As used herein, the term “this Agreement” and references thereto shall mean this Agreement as it may from time to time be amended or supplemented.
		

		
			Section 14.4.2019 Series A Bonds Held by Company.

Upon receipt of such notice, any reference to such Purchaser in this Agreement (other than in this Section 19), shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate in lieu of such original Purchaser.  In the event that such Affiliate is so substituted as a Purchaser hereunder and such Affiliate thereafter transfers to such original Purchaser all of the 2019 Series A Bonds then held by such Affiliate, upon receipt by the Company of notice of such transfer, any reference to such Affiliate as a “Purchaser”  in this Agreement (other than in this Section 19), shall no longer be deemed to refer to such Affiliate, but shall refer to such original Purchaser, and such original Purchaser shall again have all the rights of an original holder of the 2019 Series A Bonds under this Agreement.
		

		
			Section 20.Miscellaneous.
		

		
			Section 20.1.Successors and Assigns.
