Article Eleventh. No trustee hereunder shall be in any manner responsible for the default or misconduct of a cotrustee or co-trustees or for the default or misconduct of any agent or attorney appointed pursuant to these presents, if such agent or attorney be selected with reasonable care, or for anything whatever in respect to the premises or the trust hereby created, except his own fraud or wilful mis

conduct.

Article Twelfth. Any trustee hereunder may resign the trust hereby created and be discharged from all further duty thereunder or liability thereafter arising, upon giving three months' notice in writing to the Company and to any associate trustee or trustees, or upon such shorter notice as the Company and a majority in interest of the bondholders may accept as sufficient. Any trustee may be removed from office by a vote in majority in interest of the bondholders taken at a meeting of the said bondholders duly held and attested by an instrument in writing under the hands and seals of the persons so voting.

Article Thirteenth. In case any trustee shall die, resign, be lawfully removed or become incapable of acting, a successor to such trustee may be appointed by the surviving or continuing trustee, if any, with the consent of the board of directors of the Company, or if no such appointment is made within thirty days after such vacancy occurs, then by the holders for the time being of a majority in interest of the said bonds then outstanding, at a meeting of the said bondholders duly convened and held in conformity with the provisions of these presents; such appointment, however, to have no force or effect before any default in the payment of coupons or interest until approved by the board of directors of the Company.

with the same duties and responsibilities as if he had been named trustee and made a party to this instrument in place of the trustee whom he succeeds, without any act or deed; but the surviving or remaining trustee, if any, shall immediately execute all such conveyances or other instruments as may be necessary or suitable for the purpose of securing to the new trustee so appointed a full joint estate in the premises.

Article Fourteenth. The words "the Company" whenever used in this indenture shall be construed to mean the party of the first part, its successors and assigns. The word "trustees" whenever used in this indenture shall be construed to mean the corporation, person or persons who for the time being shall be charged with the execution of this trust, whether originally appointed or afterwards substituted and, whenever a vacancy exists, to mean the surviving or remaining trustees or trustee, who shall, during such vacancy, possess all the rights and privileges and be competent to exercise all the powers hereby granted to or conferred upon the party of the second part; at any time when there are any more than two trustees, a majority of the trustees may exercise any power or authority which could, in virtue hereof, be exercised by all the trustees.

Article Fifteenth. The Company, its successors and assigns, shall and will make, execute and deliver all such future deeds and assurances as may, from time to time, be necessary, as the parties of the second part or their successors in the trust may be advised by counsel learned in the law, to be necessary for the better securing to the parties of the second part and their successors in the trust the premises hereby conveyed and for the carrying out of the objects and purposes of this indenture.
