may be removed at any time, by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to

occurred and is continuing under this Bond Indenture or the Loan Agreement and no event shall

be removed at any time by an instrument in writing signed by the Issuer, upon the written request
of the Borrower, and delivered to the Bond Trustee. The foregoing notwithstanding, the Bond

and replacement. Such notice shall be mailed by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the owners
of all such Bonds then outstanding at the address of such owners then shown on the Bond

successor may be appointed by the owners of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Bonds then outstanding by an instrument or concurrent instruments in writing signed by such
registered owners, or by their attorneys in fact, duly authorized; provided, nevertheless, that in
case of such vacancy the Issuer by an instrument executed and signed by its Clerk or Deputy
Clerk, or other designated officer of the Issuer under its seal, may appoint a temporary Bond
Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Bond Trustee shall be appointed by the

by the Issuer shall immediately and without further action be superseded by the successor Bond
