“Registrar”), requested a change to the provisions in Award Resolution providing for the method
of determining the registered owners of record of the Bonds to whom interest will be payable.

Bonds is payable to the registered owners of record thereof as of the close of business on the
fifteenth day of the month preceding such interest payment date.
