Bonds Mutilated. Lost. Destroyed or Stolen

If any Bond shall become mutilated, the Government, at the expense of the Holder of said Bond, shall execute, and the Registrar shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and number in exchange and substitution for the Bond so mutilated, but only upon surrender to the Trustee of the Bond so mutilated. Every mutilated Bond so surrendered to the Registrar shall be canceled by it and delivered to, or upon the Order of, the Government. If any Bond shall be lost, destroyed or stolen, evidence of such loss, destruction or theft may be submitted to the Government and the Registrar and, if such evidence be satisfactory to both and indemnity satisfactory to both shall be given, the Government, at the expense of the Holder, shall execute, and the Registrar shall thereupon authenticate and deliver, a new Bond of like tenor and number in lieu of and in substitution for the Bond so lost, destroyed or stolen (or if any such Bond shall have matured or shall be about to mature, instead of issuing a substitute Bond, the Trustee may pay the same without surrender thereof). The Government may require payment of a sum not exceeding the actual cost of preparing each new Bond issued under THIS Section and of the expenses which may be incurred by the Government and the Registrar in the premises. Any Bond issued under the provisions of THIS Section in lieu of any Bond alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation on the part of the Government whether or not the Bond so alleged to be lost, destroyed or stolen be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of THIS Indenture with all other Bonds secured by THIS Indenture.
