(ii) to such Depositary or the Common Depository therefor, a new Registered Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Registered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (i) above.

The Trustee or such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the Persons in whose names such Securities are so redeemedregistered. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of securities Securities to the contrary, neither none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company nor or the Trustee (which any of which, other than the Company, shall be entitled to rely on an Officers' Officer's Certificate and an opinion Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security or vice versa if such exchange would could result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Company (including such as, for example, the inability of the Company to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on any the Unregistered Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws, as determined by the Company.
