     MASSACHUSETTS ELECTRIC COMPANY, a Massachusetts corporation (hereinafter,

original issue date specified above, if the date hereof is prior to
____________,  ____, or, if thereafter, from the first day of May or November,

said days and interest has been paid or duly provided for to such date), at
the rate per annum specified below the title of this Bond, at said office of
the Trustee, semiannually, on May 1 and November 1 of each year until payment

provided for, on the first day of May or November will be paid to the person
in whose name this Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds, as defined in said
Indenture) is registered at the close of business on April 15 or October 15

November.  However, any such interest installment that is not punctually paid
or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered
owner on such April 15 or October 15, as the case may be, and may be paid to

registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment
of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Bondholders not less than fifteen days prior to such special record
date, or may be paid, at any time and without prior notice to Bondholders, to
the person in whose name this Bond is registered at the close of business on
the day next preceding the date of such payment, or may be paid at any time in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which the Series V Bonds may at the time be listed and
upon such
<PAGE>
notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said
Indenture.  Interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption will be
payable to the person to whom the principal will be payable.  At the option of
the Company, interest may be paid by check payable to the order of and mailed
to the address of the person entitled thereto as the name and address of such
person shall appear on registration books maintained pursuant to said
Indenture.

     Interest (including payments for partial periods) will be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Interest will not accrue
on the 31st day of any month.

     The provisions of this Bond are continued on the reverse hereof and such
continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as though
fully set forth at this place.

     This Bond shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose or be
entitled to any security or benefit under the Indenture until the certificate
hereon shall have been signed by the Trustee.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Massachusetts Electric Company has caused this Bond
to be executed, either manually or by facsimile, under its corporate seal by
its officers thereunto duly authorized.

impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute, unconditional, and
unalterable, to pay, at the stated or accelerated maturities herein provided,
the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Bond as herein

     In certain events, on the conditions, in the manner, to the extent, and

     consent of the holders of the percent of the principal amount of the

     however, that no such alteration or modification shall (a) impair the
     obligation of the Company in respect of the principal of or premium or
     interest on any Bond, or extend the maturity or reduce the rate or extend
     the time of payment of interest thereon, or modify the terms of payment
     of such principal or interest without the consent of the holder thereof,
     (b) permit the creation of any lien prior to or on a parity with the lien
     of the Indenture except as expressly authorized by the Indenture, or (c)
     reduce the percentage of the principal amount of Bonds with the consent
     of the holders of which modifications or alterations may be made as
     aforesaid;

          (3) the holders of the percent of the principal amount of the Bonds
     at the time outstanding provided in the Indenture, may waive any existing
     default under the Indenture and the consequences of any such default,
     except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or
     interest on any of the Bonds, and except a default arising from the
     creation of any lien prior to or on a parity with the lien of the
     Indenture; [IF APPLICABLE, INSERT - and]

     integral multiples thereof (provided, however, the Company shall not be
     required to make transfers or exchanges during the 15 days preceding any
     interest payment date [IF APPLICABLE, INSERT - and during any reasonable
     period which may be necessary in connection with the selection by lot of
     Bonds to be redeemed]); and, except as aforesaid, this Bond [IF

     the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on this Bond or such

     such owner, on surrender of this Bond duly endorsed or accompanied by a
     duly executed instrument of transfer, one or more Series V Bonds of the
     same series and original issue date with identical terms and provisions,

     amount hereof not then called and paid].

     Payment of the principal of and/or premium, if any, on this Bond to the
registered owner (or his registered assigns) hereof and payment of the
interest on this Bond as hereinabove provided shall be a discharge of the
Company, the Trustee, and any paying agent in respect of such principal,
premium, and/or interest, as the case may be.

     No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or premium,
if any, or interest on this Bond against any incorporator, stockholder,
director, officer, employee, or agent, past, present, or future, as such, of
the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any such predecessor or successor corporation, under
any rule of law, statute, or constitution or by the enforcement of any
assessment or otherwise, all such liability of incorporators, stockholders,
directors, officers, employees, and agents being waived and released.

               COVENANTS REGARDING THE TRUST ESTATE

     1.01.  The Company covenants that the property specifically described in
the granting clauses hereof, including Schedule A hereto, and now owned by the
Company, is wholly free from and unencumbered by any defect, mortgage, pledge,

each and all thereof.

     The Company will not create or suffer any other mortgage, pledge, charge,
or material encumbrance or lien, of any kind, superior to or on a parity with

                            ARTICLE 2.

       PARTICULAR PROVISIONS CONCERNING THE SERIES V BONDS

     In addition to the provisions of the Indenture applicable by their terms,
the following provisions relating to the form and provisions of the Series V
Bonds are established as follows:

     2.01.  The Series V Bonds shall be issued from time to time upon delivery
to the Trustee of a certificate as to form signed by the president or the
treasurer of the Company setting forth the matters described below.

     Each issue of the Series V Bonds shall be designated in such manner as to
distinguish it from all other issues.  Bonds of each such issue shall be
identical in tenor and effect.  The certificates as to form shall designate,
within such limits as may be from time to time established by a directors'
<PAGE>
resolution, the designation and amount of the issue, the date of maturity
(which date shall be not less than nine months nor more than thirty years from
the original issue date of such issue of Bonds), the interest rate, the
provisions for call and redemption, if any, including any premium or premiums
payable thereon.

     2.02.  The Series V Bonds shall consist of fully registered Bonds without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof authorized
by a certificate as to form, with distinguishing letters and/or numbers as may
be determined by a certificate as to form, and all as approved by the Trustee. 
The permanent Series V Bonds and Trustee's certificate shall be substantially
in the forms hereinbefore recited, with appropriate insertions, omissions, and
variations approved by the Trustee for the different issues and denominations. 
The permanent Series V Bonds shall be lithographed on steel engraved tints
(or, (i) if so authorized by the certificate as to form, engraved either fully
or partially in such manner as to meet the listing requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Series V Bonds may at the time be listed or
(ii) if so authorized by the certificate as to form, printed, photocopied, or
otherwise reproduced in such manner as to meet the requirements of a
depository with which the Series V Bonds may be placed).

     The certificate as to form may also provide that ownership of all of such
Series V Bonds shall be evidenced by one or more certificates placed with a
depository.  If, after the initial issuance of an issue of the Series V Bonds
which had been placed with a depository, the depository is no longer willing
or able to hold such issue of the Series V Bonds, the Company may determine
that ownership of such Series V Bonds shall be evidenced in the usual
certificated form and shall advise the Trustee of its determination.  In such
event, the Company shall take actions necessary to withdraw such Series V
Bonds from the depository and shall prepare and execute and cause to be
authenticated and delivered replacement Series V Bonds, in certificate form,
to the beneficial owners thereof.  No provision of the certificate as to form
with respect to matters referred to in this paragraph shall be made applicable
to the holder of a Bond or Bonds of Series V the original issue date of which
is prior to the date of the certificate as to form, except at the option of
such holder.

     2.03.  Notwithstanding the provisions of the third paragraph of section
2.01 of the Original Indenture, each Series V Bond shall be dated and bear
interest as set forth in this section 2.03.

     Each Series V Bond shall be dated the date of its certification and
delivery.

     Interest will be payable from the interest payment date next preceding
the date thereof to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, (i)
unless the date thereof is an interest payment date to which interest has been
paid or duly provided for, in which case the interest shall be payable from
such date, or (ii) unless the date thereof is prior to the first interest
payment date for that issue, in which case the interest shall be payable from
the original issue date of such issue of Series V Bonds.

     Interest (including payments for partial periods) will be calculated on
the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.  Interest will not accrue
on the 31st day of any month.

     Except as hereinafter provided, the interest installment on any Series V
Bond which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
first day of May or November shall be paid to the person in whose name that
Bond (or one or more Predecessor Bonds) is registered at the close of business
on the
<PAGE>
relevant regular record date, namely, April 15 or October 15 (whether or not a
business day) next preceding.

     All Series V Bonds with an original issue date which is after the record
date for a particular interest payment date shall bear interest from such
original issue date, but payment of interest shall commence on the second
interest payment date succeeding said original issue date.

     Any interest installment on any Series V Bond which is payable, but is
not punctually paid or duly provided for (in whole or in part), on any first
day of May or November (herein called Defaulted Interest) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the registered owner on the relevant regular record
date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election
in each case, in either of the ways provided in clause (i) or clause (ii)
below:

     (i) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to
the persons in whose names the Series V Bonds (or their respective Predecessor
Bonds) are registered at the close of business on a special record date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Series V Bond and the date of
the proposed payment which shall be not less than forty-five days after the
receipt by the Trustee of such notice of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to
the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest, or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited
to be held in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be
not more than fifteen days nor less than five days prior to the date of the
proposed payment.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
special record date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to
each owner of Series V Bonds, at the owner's address on the transfer registry,
not less than fifteen days prior to such special record date.  The Trustee
may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a
similar notice to be published at least once in a newspaper or newspapers
printed in the English language, customarily published on each business day,
of general circulation in each city or place where interest is payable, but
such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of
such special record date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the persons in whose names the Series
V Bonds (or their respective Predecessor Bonds) are registered on such special
record date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
(ii). 

     (ii) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which Series V Bonds may at the time be listed, and
upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given
by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause,
such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     Interest payable at maturity or upon earlier redemption will be payable
to the person to whom the principal will be payable in accordance with the
provisions of the Indenture.

<PAGE>
     As used herein "Predecessor Bonds" of any particular Bond means every
previous Bond evidencing all or a portion of the same debt as that evidenced
by such particular Bond; and, for the purposes of this definition, any Bond
certified and delivered in lieu of a destroyed or lost Bond shall be deemed to
evidence the same debt as the destroyed or lost Bond.

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this section 2.03, each Series V
Bond upon transfer of or exchange for or in lieu of any other Series V Bond of
the same original issue date and identical terms and provisions shall carry
the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Series V Bond.

     Payment of the principal of and/or premium, if any, on any Series V Bond
to the registered owner (or the owner's registered assigns) thereof and
payment of the interest on any such Bond as therein and in this section 2.03
provided shall be a discharge of the Company, the Trustee, and any paying
agent in respect of such principal, premium and/or interest, as the case may
be.

     2.04.  The permitted aggregate principal amount of Series V Bonds which
may be executed by the Company and certified by the Trustee shall not be
limited except as otherwise provided in Article 3 of and elsewhere in the
Original Indenture, and except that the aggregate principal amount of Bonds
certified, delivered and outstanding at any time shall never in any event
exceed the amount at that time permitted by law.

     2.05.  All of the Series V Bonds shall be executed, in the name and on
behalf of the Company and under its corporate seal impressed or imprinted
thereon, by its president or one of its vice-presidents, and by its treasurer
or one of its assistant treasurers, and shall be expressed to take effect as
sealed instruments.  The signature of any or all of these officers on the
Series V Bonds may be either manual or facsimile.  In case any officer of the
Company who shall have signed or sealed any of the Series V Bonds shall not
have been such officer on the date borne by the Bonds, or shall cease to be
such officer before the Bonds so signed or sealed shall have been actually
certified and/or delivered, such Bonds, nevertheless, by presentation to the
Trustee for certification, or by delivery, shall be adopted by the Company and
may be certified and delivered as herein provided, and thereupon shall be
issued hereunder and shall be as binding upon the Company as though the person
who signed or sealed such Bonds had been such officer of the Company on the
date borne by the Bonds and on the date of certification and delivery.

     2.06.  The Series V Bonds shall be transferable and exchangeable for
other fully registered bonds of the same series, original issue date and
identical terms and provisions, and may be presented for payment, and notices,
requests, and demands in respect of the Series V Bonds may be served or made,
in the manner and upon the conditions, including the payment of applicable
charges, set forth in the form of Series V Bonds hereinbefore recited and in
section 2.06 of and elsewhere in the Original Indenture; provided, however,
that the owner of any Series V Bond shall be entitled to transfer or exchange
such Bond without charge (except for any stamp tax or other governmental
charge incident thereto); and provided, further, that the Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, transfer or exchange any Series V Bond during the
fifteen days next preceding any interest payment date and during any
reasonable period which may be necessary in connection with the selection by
lot of Bonds to be redeemed, or (ii) to transfer or exchange any Series V Bond
so selected for redemption in whole or in part.

     2.07.  The certificate as to form shall provide, as to an issue of Series
V Bonds, whether such Bonds may be called, as a whole or in part, and whether
any part of the principal amount thereof, may be called, at the option of the
Company or pursuant to any applicable provision of the Original Indenture or
this Twenty-
<PAGE>
first Supplemental Indenture, for redemption at any time prior to maturity,
whether or not on an interest payment date, in each case upon not less than 30
days' prior notice given as hereinafter provided, at the applicable redemption
price, together in each case with accrued and unpaid interest to the
redemption date.  The certificate as to form may provide, as to any issue of
Series V Bonds, that none of such Bonds shall be so called for a period of
years, as set forth in the certificate.  The applicable redemption price shall
be as set forth in the certificate as to form.

     The certificate as to form may provide, as to any issue of Series V
Bonds, that none of such Bonds shall be redeemed prior to a stated date at
general redemption prices if such redemption is for the purpose or in
anticipation of refunding such Bonds, or any part thereof, through the use,
directly or indirectly, of funds borrowed by the Company at an effective
interest cost to the Company (computed in accordance with generally accepted
financial practice) of less than the effective interest cost to the Company of
such Bonds.

     Notice of such redemption shall be given, money for such redemption shall
be deposited with and held and applied by the Trustee, and such redemption
shall be carried out in the manner and with the effect specified in sections
5.02, 5.03, and 5.04 of the Original Indenture, subject to the provisions of
this paragraph.  "Published Notice" with respect to any redemption of Series V
Bonds need not be given but a similar notice shall be mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, at least thirty days prior to any redemption date of Series V
Bonds, to each owner of the Bonds to be redeemed, at such owner's address on
the transfer registry.  As a convenience, but not as a condition precedent to
a redemption, the Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the
expense of the Company, cause a similar notice of redemption to be published
at least once in a newspaper or newspapers printed in the English language,
customarily published on each business day and of general circulation in each
city or place where the principal of the Bonds is payable.  In case the
Company shall have elected to redeem less than all the outstanding Series V
Bonds, it shall, in each such instance, at least fifteen days before the date
upon which mailing of the notice of redemption herein mentioned is required to
be made, notify the Trustee in writing of such election and of the aggregate
principal amount of Bonds to be redeemed and the original issue date or dates
of the Series V Bonds from which redemption is to be made, and the Trustee
shall thereupon select the Bonds to be redeemed from the outstanding Series V
Bonds of the appropriate issue or issues not previously called for redemption,
by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection or redemption of portions of the principal of Bonds
of denominations greater than $1,000 the portions of the principal of the
Bonds so selected for partial redemption to equal $1,000 or an integral
multiple thereof (provided, however, no remaining part of such bond shall be
less than $1,000), and within ten days after receiving the aforesaid notice
shall notify the Company in writing of the Bonds selected for redemption and,
in the case of any Bond selected for partial redemption, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed.  In case the Company shall have elected to redeem less
than all of an issue of the outstanding Series V Bonds, the notice of
redemption shall state, among other things, the identification (by numbers,
groups of numbers ending in the same digit, or series of digits, or otherwise)
and, in the case of partial redemption of Bonds of denominations greater than
$1,000, the respective principal amounts of the Bonds to be redeemed. 
Installments of interest on any Series V Bonds maturing on or prior to the
redemption date of such Bond shall continue to be payable as provided in
section 2.03 of this Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture.

     2.08.  The provisions of section 5.06 of the Original Indenture (as
amended by section 3.01 of the Second Supplemental Indenture and sections 2.07
of the Fourth and Sixth Supplemental Indentures) shall be operative so long
as any Series V Bonds are outstanding; and the provisions of sections 2.07 and
2.08 of
<PAGE>
the Fourth Supplemental Indenture, which by said sections are expressed to be
operative so long as any Series E Bonds are outstanding, shall be operative so
long as any Series V Bonds are outstanding, but subject to the provision of
section 2.07 of the Sixth Supplemental Indenture.

     2.09.  The Company covenants that so long as any Series V Bonds are
outstanding it will not request a successor corporation to deliver Bonds to
the Trustee in the manner and with the effect set forth in paragraphs (2),
(3), and (4) of section 13.03 of the Original Indenture.

                           ARTICLE 3.
                                
                   AMENDMENT TO THE INDENTURE
                                
     3.01  There is hereby added to Article 3 section 3.02 of the Original
Indenture two new paragraphs at the conclusion of section 3.02 reading as
follows:

          "The Company may, from time to time, and upon furnishing the
     Trustee with the documents set forth in this section and in section
     3.03, direct the Trustee to acknowledge on its books the right of
     the Company to request the certification and delivery of Bonds
     pursuant to section 3.04 up to the amount set forth in such
     direction.  Such rights are hereinafter called "Unissued Bonds." 
     Any additional property used as the basis for the acknowledgment of
     the Unissued Bonds shall be deemed funded for the purposes of any
     certificate required under any section of this Indenture, and such
     Unissued Bonds shall be deemed to be Bonds outstanding hereunder
     for the purposes of this section, section 3.03 and section 3.04
     (including in any application or certificate required hereby or
     thereby) in the principal amounts and having the interest rates and
     maturity dates as set forth in the written application therefor but
     shall not have any voting rights or be deemed to be Bonds
     outstanding hereunder for any other purpose.  The Trustee, upon
     being furnished by the Company with an officers' certificate
     surrendering the rights evidenced by any Unissued Bonds, shall
     acknowledge upon its books the cancellation of said Unissued Bonds. 
     Any canceled Unissued Bonds not used theretofore against the
     issuance of Bonds pursuant to section 3.04 shall thereafter be
     treated as though they had never been outstanding.

          The authorizing directors' resolutions and forms required by
     paragraph (a) of this section 3.02 and the authorizations and forms
     in the documents required by paragraphs (b), (e), and (f) of this
     section as applicable to Unissued Bonds shall be considered
     subsumed in the authorizations and forms for the Bonds to be
     ultimately issued pursuant to section 3.04.  The opinion required
     pursuant to paragraph (d) of this section shall be appropriately
     modified to reflect the use of the Unissued Bonds as herein
     provided."

     3.02  Section 3.04 of Article 3 of the Original Indenture is hereby
amended by adding in the 1st line after "and delivered" the following:

           "and Unissued Bonds may be acknowledged by the Trustee."

     3.03  There is added to Article 3 section 3.04 of the Original Indenture
two new paragraphs at the conclusion of section 3.04 reading as follows:

<PAGE>
          "References herein to the certification and delivery of Bonds
     to the aggregate amount of Bonds which shall have been retired and
     which are unfunded shall be considered to include the aggregate
     amount of Unissued Bonds which the Trustee has acknowledged
     pursuant to section 3.02 and section 3.03 and which are unfunded
     and not otherwise cancelled.  Such Unissued Bonds shall be deemed
     to be funded to the extent that they have been used as the basis
     for the certification and delivery of Bonds pursuant to this
     section.

          Any application of the Company for the authentication and
     delivery of Bonds pursuant to this section against "Unissued Bonds"
     created in accordance with section 3.02 shall be accompanied by an
     officers' certificate stating that retirements since July 1, 1949,
     were not greater than the amount payable as an improvement fund
     since July 1, 1949, and, unless there has been filed a net earnings
     certificate including the interest charges on the Unissued Bonds
     within the calendar year preceding the date of the application,
     shall be accompanied by a net earnings certificate satisfying the
     requirement of paragraph (d) of section 3.03 as far as applicable."

                            ARTICLE 4.

               CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE; DEFEASANCE;
                     MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

adopted and made applicable to this Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture as
fully as if set forth herein at length.  The recitals of fact contained herein
and in the Series V Bonds (except the Trustee's certificate upon said Bonds)
shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for the same.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the
value of the trust estate or any part thereof, or as to the title of the
Company thereto, or as to the validity or adequacy of the security afforded
thereby or by the Indenture, or as to the validity of this Twenty-first
Supplemental Indenture or of the Series V Bonds. The Trustee shall not be
taken impliedly to waive hereby any right it would otherwise have.

     4.02.  This Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture shall become void when

     4.04.  The Company warrants that at the date of execution and delivery
hereof the Company is not in default in any respect under any of the
provisions of the Original Indenture as heretofore supplemented or of the
Outstanding Bonds, and covenants that it will perform and fulfill all the
terms, covenants, and conditions of the Indenture to be performed and
fulfilled by the Company.  The Company is duly organized and existing under
the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is duly authorized under all
applicable provisions of law to create and issue the Series V Bonds and to
execute this Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture.  All corporate action on its
part for the creation and issue of the Series V Bonds and for the execution
and delivery of this Twenty-first
<PAGE>
Supplemental Indenture has been duly and effectively taken.  The Series V
Bonds in the hands of the holders thereof, and this Twenty-first Supplemental
Indenture, are and will be, respectively, the legal, valid, and binding
obligations of the Company.

     4.05.  All the covenants and provisions of this Twenty-first Supplemental
Indenture and of the Series V Bonds are for the sole and exclusive benefit of
the parties hereto and the holders of the Bonds, and no others shall have any
legal, equitable, or other right, remedy, or claim under or by reason of this
Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture or of the Series V Bonds.

     4.06.  The Trustee hereby approves the form of the permanent Series V
Bonds and the form of Trustee's certificate pertaining thereto, all as
hereinbefore recited, and the form of this Twenty-first Supplemental
Indenture.

     4.07.  This Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture is stated to be dated as
of April 1, 1995.  This is intended as and for a date for reference and for
identification, the actual time of the execution hereof being the date set
forth in the testimonium clause hereof.

     4.08.  This Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original; and such
counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which shall for
all purposes be sufficiently evidenced by any such original counterpart.

     4.09.  The cover of this Twenty-first Supplemental Indenture and all
article and description headings, and the table of contents and marginal
headings and notes, if any, are inserted for convenience only, and shall not
affect any construction or interpretation hereof.
