SECTION
104.    Acts of Holders; Record Dates.



        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in
and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. 


        The
fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. Where such execution is by a
signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such
instrument or writing, 


7







 



or
the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient. 


        The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. 


        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of
every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security. 


        The
Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series,  provided, that the Company
may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of
any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on
such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;  provided, that no such action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for
which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect),
and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such
action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 


8









  





        The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or
(iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no
effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the
date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by
Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 


        With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that sets such record date may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and from time to time may change
the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is
given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto that set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day
after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. 


        Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal
amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 


SECTION
105.    Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.    


        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to,
or filed with, 



        (1)   the
Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be via facsimile) to
or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration, or 


        (2)   the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: General Counsel, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company. 




SECTION
106.    Notice to Holders; Waiver.    


        Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Securities, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of
Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security affected by such event, at 


9







 

the
address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. 


        In
case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case where notice to Holders of Securities is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. 



        Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice either before or after the event, and such
waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders of Securities shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any
action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 


SECTION
107.    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.    


        This
Indenture shall incorporate and be governed by the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of and to govern indentures qualified under the Trust Indenture
Act. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this
Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be. 


SECTION
108.    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.    


        The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 


SECTION

any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture. 


SECTION

        THE
INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY. 


SECTION
113.    Legal Holidays.    


        In
any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or
principal (and 


10







 

premium,
if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity, and no additional interest shall accrue as the result of such delayed payment. 



SECTION
114.    Language of Notices, Etc.    


        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice may
be in an official language of the country of publication. 


SECTION
115.    Rules by Trustee and Agents.    


        The
Trustee may make reasonable rules for action by or at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series. The Registrar or Paying Agent may make reasonable rules and set reasonable
requirements for its functions. 


SECTION
116.    No Adverse Interpretation of Other Agreements.    


        This
Indenture may not be used to interpret any other indenture, loan or debt agreement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or of any other Person. Any such indenture, loan or debt
agreement may not be used to interpret this Indenture. 


SECTION
117.    Counterparts.    


        The
parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. Each signed copy will be an original, but all of them together represent the same agreement. 


SECTION
118    Force Majeure.    


        In
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly,
forces beyond its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God,
and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are
consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

SECTION
204.    Securities in Global Form.    


        If
Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (26) of Section 301 and

Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

the provisions of Section 201 and 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on
any Security in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

be due and payable upon any Maturity other than the Stated Maturity or which shall be deemed to be Outstanding as of any date prior to the Stated Maturity (or, in any such case, the manner in which
such amount deemed to be the principal amount shall be determined); 


        (15) if

other terms of the Securities of such series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, except as permitted by
Section 901(5)). 




        All
Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in or pursuant to the Board Resolution
referred to above and (subject to Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officer's Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 


        If
any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer's Certificate or Company Order setting forth the terms of the series. 


SECTION
302.    Denominations. 



        The
Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the
absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 


SECTION
303.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.


        The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or any one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 



        Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time the Company's Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or any one of
its Vice Presidents shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such office
at the date of such Securities. 


        At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an 


16







 



Opinion
of Counsel stating that the conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture have been complied with. 



        If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. 


        Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary
to deliver the Officer's Certificate or Company Order otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding
paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued. 


        Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 


        No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but
never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security
shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 


SECTION
304.    Temporary Securities. 


        Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon receipt of a Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of such series in
lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities. 


        If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of that series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series
at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and like aggregate
principal amount and tenor. 


        Until
so exchanged in full as hereinafter provided, the Holders of temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
Holders of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder. 


SECTION
305.    Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in
which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities 


17







 



and
of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided. If any indenture
supplemental hereto refers to any transfer agents (in addition to the Security Registrar) initially designated by the Company with respect to any series of Securities, the Company may at any time
rescind the designation of any such transfer agent or approve a change in the location through which any such transfer agent acts, provided that the Company maintains a transfer agent in each Place of
Payment for such series. The Company may at any time designate additional transfer agents with respect to any series of Securities. 



        Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. 


        At
the option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. 


        All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. 


        Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. 


        No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities. 


        Neither
the Trustee nor the Company shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of this Section 305, (A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of
any series (or of any series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion not to be redeemed. 


        The
provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 



        (1)   Each
Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and
delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 


        (2)   Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global
Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act at a time
when the Depositary is 



18







 




required
to be so registered to act as depositary, in each case, unless the Company has approved a successor Depositary within 90 days, (B) the Company in its sole discretion determines
that such Global Security will be so exchangeable or transferable and executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such Global Security shall be so exchangeable or transferable,
(C) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented by such Global Security, or (D) there shall exist such circumstances, if
any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. 


        (3)   Subject
to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a
Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct. 


        (4)   Every
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant
to this Section 305, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered
in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 




SECTION
306.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


        If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless, the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding and shall cancel and destroy such mutilated Security. 


        If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 


        In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security. 


        Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of counsel to the Company and the fees and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) connected therewith. 


        Every
new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 306 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 



        The
provisions of this Section 306 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities. 


19







 



SECTION
307.    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest. 


        Any
Paying Agents will be identified in a supplemental indenture hereto. The Company may at any time designate additional Paying Agents or rescind the designation of any Paying Agent;
however, the Company at all times will be required to maintain a Paying Agent in each Place of Payment for each series of Securities. 


        Unless
otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not timely paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series (herein called "Defaulted Interest"), shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Regular
Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest plus, to the extent lawful, interest payable on defaulted interest, shall be paid by the Company, as provided in
Clause (1) or (2) below (at the Company's election): 



        (1)   The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in default
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.
The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee
for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this
Clause (1). Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 5 days prior to
the date of the proposed payment and not less than 5 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special
Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of
Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 


        (2)   The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange or automated quotation system on which such Securities may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, if, after
notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. 




        Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security. 


20







 

SECTION
308.    Persons Deemed Owners. 


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall deem and treat the Person in whose name any
Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and, subject to
the provisions of this Indenture, interest on such Security and for all other purposes. 


SECTION
309.    Cancellation. 


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, all Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange
or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or
to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section 309, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. All canceled Securities
held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in its customary manner. The trustee shall return cancelled Securities to the Company upon its request therefor. 


SECTION
310.    Computation of Interest. 


        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months and interest on the Securities of each series for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months and the number of days elapsed in any partial month. 


SECTION
311.    CUSIP Numbers.


        The
Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, (except as otherwise contemplated by Section 301) with respect to any series of
Securities, if so, the Trustee shall use such "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will notify the Trustee of any change in "CUSIP" numbers.

    SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE    
    


SECTION
401.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, this Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for, and any right to receive additional amounts, as otherwise provided in this Section 401),
and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when 



        (1)   either




21







 

        (A)  all
Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for which payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or 


        (B)  all
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation: 



        (i)    have
become due and payable, or 


        (ii)   will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year of the date of deposit, or 



        (iii)  are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company, 





and
the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such purpose money in an amount sufficient
to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in
the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 



        (2)   the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and 


        (3)   the

the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with. 




        Notwithstanding

any Authenticating Agent under Section 613 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge. Each supplemental indenture with respect to any series of Securities may
provide terms for satisfaction and discharge of such supplemental indenture and such terms shall control as to such supplemental indenture. 


SECTION
402.    Application of Trust Money.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest
for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by

        Provided,
however, that no event described in Clause (4), (5), (6) or (other than with respect to a payment default) (7) above shall constitute an Event of Default

SECTION
502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5)
or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders),
and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) occurs and is

such declaration of acceleration shall, without further act, be deemed to have been waived, and such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded and
annulled, if: 



        (1)   the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 



	(A)
	all
overdue installments of interest on all Securities of that series,



	(B)
	the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,



	(C)

the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and



	(D)

sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and 




        (2)   all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513. 




        No
such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

SECTION
503.    Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Company covenants that if 



        (1)   default
is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 



        (2)   default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 




the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any
premium and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, all amounts owing the Trustee, its agents and counsel under Section 607, as supplemented by any supplemental indenture. 



        If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem reasonably necessary to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. 


SECTION
504.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.



        Except

Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust
Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property
payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding
is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee
any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 


        No
provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;  provided,
however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors' or other similar committee.

505.    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, all rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted
and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, 


25







 



be
for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607 as supplemented by any supplemental indenture; 



SECOND:
To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium and interest on such series of Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been

THIRD:
To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company. 




SECTION
507.    Limitation on Suits.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, no Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right to pursue any remedy

Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that series; 


        (2)   the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy; 



        (3)   such
Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provide to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense; 


        (4)   the
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of security or indemnity;
and 


        (5)   during
such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request; 




it
being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing itself of, any provision of this Indenture to prejudice
the rights of any other Holders of Securities, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture. 


SECTION
508.    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.


Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture (except as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities), the Holder of any Security shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities

herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder,
or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. 


SECTION
511.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by
this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be. 


SECTION
512.    Control by Holders.

        (1)   such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and 


        (2)   the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction. 




SECTION
513.    Waiver of Past Defaults.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default 



        (1)   in
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series, or 


        (2)   in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of
such series affected. 




        Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this Indenture but no such
waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. 


27







 

SECTION
514.    Undertaking for Costs.


        In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may
require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses against any such party litigant, in
the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company.

        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

furnished to it the Trustee shall examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but need not verify the contents thereof.

hereof. 


        (8)   In
no event shall the Trustee by responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss

successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609. 


        The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the then Outstanding Securities of any series may remove the Trustee, as to that series, by so notifying the Trustee and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee with

series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular
series). Within one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may appoint a successor Trustee to replace
the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. 


        If,
within 60 days after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be

SECTION
609.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.


        In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, any successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument (in form and substance satisfactory to the retiring Trustee and the Company) transferring to such successor Trustee all
the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 


        In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto (in form and substance satisfactory to the retiring Trustee, the successor
Trustee and the Company) wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to,
and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any
of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustee's co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart
from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, provided all sums owing to the Trustee hereunder have been paid. Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee, the Company's obligations under
Section 607 hereof, as modified as to any series of Securities by any supplemental indenture, shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Trustee. 



        Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 611 and to the extent permitted by the TIA, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set

Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and binding obligations enforceable for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on
behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. In order to be eligible to serve as an Authenticating
Agent under this Indenture, each Authenticating Agent and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section 613, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 613, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section 613.

corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or

        An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 613, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No
successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 613.

Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section 613, and in the event that the Trustee shall
pay the Authenticating Agent, the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607.

the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 


        The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to
pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such money. 



        Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable may be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of
general circulation in The City of New York, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

SECTION
1004.    Statement by Officers as to Default.



        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officer's Certificate stating whether or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company, is in default in the performance and
observance of any of the terms, provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be
in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge. 



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within
five days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which, with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers'
Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the Company proposes to take with respect thereto. 


SECTION
1005.    Existence.


        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its legal existence; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall
determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 


SECTION
1006.    Waiver of Certain Covenants.


        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(23), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such series or in
Section 1005, if the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance
or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect. 


 
 

ARTICLE ELEVEN
  
    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES    
    


SECTION
1101.    Applicability of Article.


        Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article Eleven. 


SECTION
1102.    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.



        The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In
case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed
by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer's Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 


42









  





SECTION 1103.    Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, if less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the
Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, pro rata, by lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may
provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series; provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in
an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and
specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 


        The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial redemption as
aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. 


        For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Securities redeemed or
to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. If the Company shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the
Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption. 


SECTION
1104.    Notice of Redemption.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. 


        With
respect to Securities of each series to be redeemed, each notice of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed (including CUSIP numbers, if available) and shall state: 



        (1)   the
Redemption Date; 


        (2)   the
Redemption Price; 


        (3)   if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities, the
principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed; 


        (4)   that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease
to accrue on and after said date; 


        (5)   the
place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and 


        (6)   that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. 




        Notice
of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Company. If the latter, unless otherwise agrees, the Company shall give the Trustee at least five days prior written notice of such election to redeem. The notice if mailed in the manner herein
provided 


43







 

shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any case, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the Holder of
any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security. 


SECTION
1105.    Deposit of Redemption Price.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, on or before the Redemption Date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided
in Section 1104, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in
Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which
are to be redeemed on that date. 


SECTION
1106.    Securities Payable on Redemption Date.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price
and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to (but excluding) the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, in the event the
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date such installments of interest will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 


        If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date
at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security. 


SECTION
1107.    Securities Redeemed in Part.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of
Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed
portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so surrendered, such new Security so issued shall be a new Global Security. 


 
 

ARTICLE TWELVE
  
    SINKING FUNDS    
    


SECTION
1201.    Applicability of Article.


        The
provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such Securities. 


44







 



        The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any sinking fund
payment in excess of such minimum amount which is permitted to be made by the terms of such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any
Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 


SECTION
1202.    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


        The
Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which
have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as
and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received
and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such
sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 


SECTION
1203.    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.



        Except
as otherwise contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 15 nor more than 45 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated
in Sections 1106 and 1107. 


 
 

ARTICLE THIRTEEN
  
    DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE    
    


SECTION
1301.    Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


        The
Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (unless
designated pursuant to Section 301 as not being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303), in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301
and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such Securities. 


SECTION
1302.    Defeasance and Discharge.


        Upon
the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed
to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after 


45







 



the
date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and
the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:
(1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003,
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article Thirteen. Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise
its option (if any) to have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities. 


SECTION
1303.    Covenant Defeasance.


        Upon
the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company
shall be released from its obligations under Article Eight (and any covenant applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision) and
(2) the occurrence of any event specified in Section 501 (with respect to Article Eight) (and any other Event of Default applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to
Section 301 to be subject to this provision) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section 1303 on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such
Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section or clause, whether directly or
indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or clause or by reason of any reference in any such Section or clause to any other provision herein or in any other document,
but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 


SECTION
1304.    Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


        The
following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be: 



        (1)   The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination
thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective
Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, "Government Obligation" means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of
the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and
acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation 



46







 

by
the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as
defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of
the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any Government Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as
required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the
Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary receipt. 



        (2)   In
the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this
instrument, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 


        (3)   In
the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such Covenant Defeasance were
not to occur. 


        (4)   Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in
connection therewith pursuant to Section 301. 


        (5)   No
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at
the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 



        (6)   Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under the Investment Company Act or exempt from registration thereunder. 


        (7)   The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with. 




SECTION
1305.    Acknowledgment of Discharge By Trustee.



        Subject
to Section 1307 below and after the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
referred to in Section 1304 relating to the defeasance or satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be, of this Indenture have been complied with, the Trustee upon request of the Company
shall acknowledge in 


47







 



writing
the defeasance or the satisfaction and discharge, as the case may be, of this Indenture and the discharge of the Company's obligations under this Indenture. 



SECTION
1306.    Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.


        Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other
qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of
any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 


        The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304
or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 


        Anything
in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government
Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be,
with respect to such Securities. 


SECTION
1307.    Reinstatement.


        If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article Thirteen with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Thirteen with respect to such Securities, until such time as
the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust in accordance with this Article Thirteen; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any
premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money so held in trust. 


 
 

ARTICLE FOURTEEN
  
    IMMUNITY OF INCORPORATORS, STOCKHOLDERS,
  OFFICERS, DIRECTORS AND EMPLOYEES    
    


SECTION
1401.    Exemption from Individual Liability.


        No
director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities of
any series or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of the Securities of any series by accepting a Security waives and releases all
such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Securities of any series. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities
laws.

        DRS Technologies, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the "Company," which term includes any
successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay
to                        , or registered assigns, the principal sum
of                        Dollars on
                        . [if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity,
insert—, and to pay interest thereon from
                        or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for,
semi-annually
on                        and                 
       in each year,
commencing                        , at the rate of            % per
annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment] [if applicable,
insert—, provided that any principal and premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of            % per
annum (to the extent permitted by applicable law), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand].
[If applicable, insert—The amount of interest payable for any period shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day
months and a 360-day year. The amount of interest payable for any partial period shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months and the

the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (and without any interest or other payment in respect of any such delay) with the same force and effect as if made on the date the payment was
originally payable. A "Business Day" shall mean, when used with respect to any Place of Payment, each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday which is not a day on which banking institutions
in that Place of Payment are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to close.] The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or -more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest, which shall be
the                        or                 
       (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so
punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders
of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange or automated quotation system on which the Securities of this series may be listed or traded, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange or automated quotation system, all as
more fully provided in said Indenture. 


        [If the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—The principal of this Security shall not bear
interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon 


50







 



redemption
or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium
shall bear interest at the rate of            % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are
paid or
made available for payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand. 


        Payment
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert—any such] interest on
this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in                        , in such
coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is
legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the
Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 


        Reference
is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth
at this place. 


        Unless
the certificate of authentication hereof has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit
under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt- of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest
hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 


        No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to

written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 


        The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $                        and

authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same. 


        No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
payable in connection therewith. 


54

to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 


        All
terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture. 


        THE
INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WILL GOVERN AND BE USED TO CONSTRUE THIS INDENTURE AND THIS SECURITY WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE
EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.
