Section 104.  Acts of Holders







(1)           Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing.  If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series
may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, whether in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.  Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record, or both instruments and record, are delivered to the Trustee and, when it is hereby expressly required, to the Corporation.  Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Corporation and any agent of the Trustee or the Corporation, if made in the manner provided in this section.

(2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution, or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution thereof. When 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, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other reasonable
manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.







(3)           The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.







(4)           The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory.  The Trustee and
the Corporation may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until: (i) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced; (ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person; (iii) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security; or (iv) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.  The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.







(5)           If the Corporation shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act, the Corporation may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act, but the Corporation shall have no obligation to do so.  Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the
date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement, or consent by the Holders on such record
date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 11 months after the record date.







(6)           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, in exchange therefor, or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted, or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent, or the Corporation in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

Section 105.  Notices, etc., to Trustee and Corporation

When this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Corporation or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case when notice to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein.  Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.







If by reason of the suspension of, or irregularities in, regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification to Holders of Registered Securities as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.







Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, when this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in Salt Lake City, Utah, and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such Securities, and if the Securities of such series are listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in any place at which such Securities are listed on a securities exchange to the extent that such securities exchange so requires, on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, and not earlier than
the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such publication.







If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.  Neither the failure to give notice by publication to any particular Holder of Bearer Securities as provided above nor any defect in any notice so published shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to
Holders of Registered Securities given as provided herein.






  





11











  








 


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.







When 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 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.  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.







Section 108.  Successors and Assigns

Section 109.  Separability Clause







In case any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or Coupon shall be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.







Section 110.  Benefits of Indenture







Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent, and their successors hereunder, and the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy, or claim under this Indenture.







Section 111.  No Personal Liability







No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in this Indenture, in any Security or Coupon appertaining thereto, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present, or future shareholder, Officer, or director, as such, of the Corporation or of any successor, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor, under any rule of law, statute, or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.







Section 112.  Governing Law







This Indenture and the Securities and Coupons shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the state of Utah.  This Indenture is subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

Section 113.  Legal Holidays


 


In any case when any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity, or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or Coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, 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, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity, or Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity, or Maturity, as the case may be.

Section 303.  Execution, Authentication Delivery, and Dating







The Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by two Officers.  The signature of any of these Officers on the Securities and Coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized Officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.







Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper Officers of the Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities or Coupons.







At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Corporation may deliver Securities of any series, together with any Coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Corporation Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Corporation Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and
provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant Coupons for interest then matured have been detached and cancelled.


 


If all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Corporation Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of issuance, and date from which interest shall accrue.  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 TIA
Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon:







(1)           an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 102 and stating that:







(i)           the form or forms of such Securities and any Coupons have been, or will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;







(ii)           the terms of such Securities and any Coupons have been, or will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and







(iii)          such Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, when completed pursuant to such procedures as may be specified therein, and executed and delivered by the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, and other similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles and to such other matters as may be specified therein; and






  





18











  











(2)           an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 102 and stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of such Securities have been, or will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, complied with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.







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, obligations, 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 the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a Corporation Order, an Opinion of Counsel, or an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion, and certificate, with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.







Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.







No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or the Security to which such Coupon appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated
and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued or sold by the Corporation, 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







(1)           Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute, and upon Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed, or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form, with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions, and other variations as the Officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively
evidenced by their execution of such Securities.  In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form.






  





19











  













Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(2) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Corporation will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Securities of such 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 Corporation 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 (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303.  Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.







(2)           Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301, this Section 304(2) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other than through the facilities of DTC.  If any such temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depositary or common depositary (the “Common Depositary”), for the benefit of Euroclear or Clearstream.







Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the Corporation.  On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Corporation’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive
Securities without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of, or within, the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged.  The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, permanent global bearer form, or permanent global registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by
the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.







 






  





20











  








Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on its behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of Securities, and each Paying Agent.  Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of insurance, postage, transportation, and the like unless such Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream.  Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.







Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear or Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear or Clearstream to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or
in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this Section 304(2) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this Indenture, and the interests of the Persons
who are the beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear or Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the Corporation.







Section 305.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange







(1)           The Corporation shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The
Security Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.






  





21











  













(2)           Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment for that series, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical terms and provisions.







(3)           Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency.  Whenever any such Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities that
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.







(4)           If (but only if) permitted as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining.  If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, any such permitted
exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Corporation in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an
office or agency located outside the United States.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on: (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date; or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment,
as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.  Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.






  





22











  








(5)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph.  If the depositary for any permanent global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected and approved by the
Corporation or to a nominee of such successor to DTC.  If at any time DTC notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the applicable global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Corporation shall appoint a successor depositary with respect to such global Security or Securities.  If: (i) a successor depositary for such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability, or ineligibility; (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such
global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for such global Security or Securities; or (iii) the Corporation, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities (provided, however, the Corporation may not make such determination during the 40-day restricted period provided by Rule 903(b) of Regulation S under the Securities Act or during any other similar period during which the Securities must be held in global form as may be required by the Securities Act), then the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor, and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security or Securities.  If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s
interest in such permanent global Security.  On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Corporation Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Corporation’s agent for such purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States.  If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs on: (x) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date; or (xi) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of
such permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.






  





23











  








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







(7)           Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange or redemption shall be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing.







(8)           No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Corporation 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, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107, or 1305 not involving any transfer.







(9)           The Corporation or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required: (i) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on: (a) if such Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; and (b) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption
or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer of, or exchange, any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed; or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption, except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor; provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption; or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of, or exchange any Security that has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such
Security not to be so repaid.







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







If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Corporation, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Corporation or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor, a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.







If there shall be delivered to the Corporation and to the Trustee: (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss, or theft of any Security or Coupon; 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 actual notice to the Corporation or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost, or stolen Coupon appertains (with all appurtenant Coupons not
destroyed, lost, or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost, or stolen Coupon appertains.






  





24











  








 







Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Corporation in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost, or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost, or stolen Coupon appertains, pay such Security or Coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), any interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto.







Upon the issuance of any new Security under this section, the Corporation 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 the Trustee) connected therewith.







Every new Security of any series with its Coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this section in lieu of any destroyed, lost, or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost, or stolen Coupon appertains, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost, or stolen Security and its Coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost, or stolen Coupon 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 and their Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.







The provisions of this section 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 or Coupons.







Section 307.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved







Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered Security that 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 at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any Registered
Security may at the Corporation’s option be paid by mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register, or transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the United States.







Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located outside the United States.







Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear, or Clearstream, as the case may be, with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.






  





25











  













In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.







Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Corporation, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:







(1)           The Corporation may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (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 Corporation shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Corporation
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) 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 on or 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 in this clause provided. 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 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of
the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at its address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Corporation, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each place of payment, but such publications shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed
as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered 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). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.






  





26











  













(2)           The Corporation may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Corporation 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 and Section 305, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of, in exchange for, or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.







Section 308.  Persons Deemed Owners







Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee, and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.







Title to any Bearer Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery.  The Corporation, the Trustee, and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof, on account thereof, and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, nor any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.







None of the Corporation, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising, or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.







Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Corporation, the Trustee, or any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy, or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.







Section 309.  Cancellation







All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, 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 any such Securities and Coupons and Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Corporation may, at any time, deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder that the Corporation 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 that the Corporation has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  If the Corporation shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of, or in exchange for, any Securities cancelled as provided in this section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such destruction to the Corporation,
unless by a Corporation Order the Corporation directs their return to it. 












  





27











  








Section 310.  Computation of Interest







Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of 12 30-day months.

Section 402.  Application of Corporation Funds







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, the Coupons, and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Corporation acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

Section 502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment







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 and 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 (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the Make-Whole Amount on, if any, all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and

If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

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







The Corporation covenants that if:







(1)           default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related Coupon when such interest or Additional Amount 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity;







then the Corporation will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and Coupons, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, and Additional Amount, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel.

If the Corporation fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid; may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree; may enforce the same against the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series; and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series, wherever situated.







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 and any related Coupons by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual 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.

and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise:







(1)           to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and







(2)           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 of Securities of such series and Coupons 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 to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements, and advances of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee, and their agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.







Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize, consent to, accept, or adopt, on behalf of any Holder of a Security or Coupon, any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, or composition affecting the Securities or Coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or Coupon in any such proceeding.

recovered.

Section 510.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative







Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost, or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons 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







No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein.

(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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.







Section 514.  Undertaking for Costs







All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by its acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require 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 or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, all in accordance with the Trust
Indenture Act.

Section 603.  Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities







The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and in any Coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness.

Section 605.  Money Held in Trust

(1)           to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder, including extraordinary services rendered in connection with or during the continuation of a default hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);







(2)           except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements, and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except to the extent any such expense, disbursement, or advance may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and 












  





37











  








 


(3)           to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense arising out of, or in connection with, the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, liability, or expense may be attributable to its own negligence or bad faith.







As security for the performance of the obligations of the Corporation under this section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest on, particular Securities or any Coupons.







The provisions of this section shall survive the termination of this Indenture.







Section 607.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests







There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation 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 the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this article.







Section 608.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor







(1)           No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 609.







(2)           The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Corporation.

(3)           The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and to the Corporation.







(4)           If, at any time:







(i)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months;






  





38











  








(ii)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or







(iii)           the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation, or liquidation;







then, in any such case: (x) the Corporation by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities; or (xi) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.







(5)           If the Trustee shall resign, be removed, or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Corporation, by or pursuant to 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).  If, within one year 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 appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Corporation and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Corporation.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Corporation or the Holders of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.







(6)           The Corporation shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of Securities in Section 106.  Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.







Section 609.  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor







(1)           In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all or a series of Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute, acknowledge, and deliver to the Corporation 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 request of the Corporation or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute
and deliver an instrument 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, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.






  





39











  













(2)           In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, 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, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which: (i) 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; (ii) 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 (iii) 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 Trustees 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 Corporation 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.







(3)           Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Corporation 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 paragraph (1) or (2) of this section, as the case may be.







(4)           No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible under this article.







Section 610.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation, or Succession to Business







Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion, or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any Securities or Coupons shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion, or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or Coupons so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or Coupons.  In case any Securities or Coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or Coupons, in either its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect that this Indenture provides for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.

Section 611.  Appointment of Authenticating Agent







At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the 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 exchange, registration of transfer, or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be promptly
furnished to the Corporation.  Whenever 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.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Corporation and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America, or of any state or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this section, 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.  In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this section.







Any 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 consolidation to which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this section, without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.







An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Corporation.  The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Corporation.  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, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent, which
shall be acceptable to the Corporation, and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of, or within, the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106.  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 herein.  No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this section.







The Corporation agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent, from time to time, reasonable compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this section.







If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the following form:






  





41











  













This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

(1)           change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on), or any installment of principal of, or interest on, any Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any premium or Make-Whole Amount payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the Corporation to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1010 (except as contemplated by Section 801(1) and permitted by Section 901(1)), or reduce the amount of the principal of an

ARTICLE TEN


COVENANTS







Section 1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, Interest, and Additional Amounts







The Corporation covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest on, and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of, the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series of Securities, any Coupons appertaining thereto, and this Indenture.  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on, and any Additional Amounts payable in respect of, Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1010 in
respect of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) such a Security, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.  Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301, at the option of the Corporation, all payments of principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other Person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.







Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency











  





47











  









If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Corporation shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Corporation will maintain: (1) in the Borough of
Manhattan, in the City of New York, New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served, and where Bearer Securities of that series and related Coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (2) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series that is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1010); provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Corporation will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in any required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed in such exchange; and (3) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an office or agency where any Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of that series
and this Indenture may be served.  The Corporation will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency.  If at any time the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1010) at the offices specified in the Security and the Corporation hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands, and the
Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands.









Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount, interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Corporation in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of, and any premium and interest on, any Bearer Security (including any
Additional Amounts or Make-Whole Amount payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1010) shall be made at the office of the Corporation’s Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York, New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest, Additional Amounts, or Make-Whole Amount, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Corporation in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.







The Corporation may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the Securities of one or more series and related Coupons, if any, may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Corporation of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes.  The Corporation will give prompt written notice to the Trustee
of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.  Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Corporation hereby designates as Places of Payment for each series of Securities the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee and the office or agency of ___________________________________________ at ___________________________________________, initially appoints the Trustee as a Paying Agent in ________________________________________, and ________________________________________, as Paying Agent in ___________, ___________, and appoints each as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices, and demands.






  





48











  













Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series are denominated in a Foreign Currency or may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Corporation will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one exchange rate agent.







Section 1003.  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust







If the Corporation shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities and any related Coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, or Additional Amounts so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.







Whenever the Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and any related Coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest on, or Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, or Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount, interest, or
Additional Amounts, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.







The Corporation will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this section, that such Paying Agent will:







(1)           hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest on, Securities or Additional Amounts in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;







(2)           give the Trustee notice of any default by the Corporation (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, or Additional Amounts; and







(3)           at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.







The Corporation may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay or by Corporation Order direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Corporation 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 Corporation 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 sums.







Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation, in trust for the payment of the principal of  (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premiums or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, or Additional Amounts have become due and payable shall be paid to the Corporation upon Corporation Request or (if then held by the Corporation) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation 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 Corporation cause to be published once, in an Authorized Newspaper, 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 Corporation.

Section 1004.  Existence







Subject to Article Eight, the Corporation will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence, rights (charter and statutory), and franchises of the Corporation and its Significant Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to preserve any 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 Corporation and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of Securities of any series.







Section 1005.  Maintenance of Properties







The Corporation will cause all of its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair, and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments, and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Corporation may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing
in this section shall prevent the Corporation or any Subsidiary from selling or otherwise disposing of for value its properties in the ordinary course of its business.

The Corporation will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent: (1) all taxes, assessments, and governmental charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits, or property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary; and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials, and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Corporation or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment,
charge, or claim whose amount, applicability, or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings.

Section 1008.  Provision of Financial Information







Whether or not the Corporation is subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Corporation will, to the extent permitted under the Exchange Act, file with the SEC the annual reports, quarterly reports, and other documents that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to such Section 13 or 15(d) if the Corporation were so subject, such documents to be filed with the SEC on or prior to the respective dates (the “Required Filing Dates”) by which the Corporation would have been required so to file such documents if the Corporation were so subject.







The Corporation will also in any event: (1) within 15 days of each Required Filing Date (i) transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, without cost to such Holders, copies of the annual reports and quarterly reports that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were subject to such sections; and (ii) file with the Trustee copies of annual reports, quarterly reports, and other documents that the Corporation would have been required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act if the Corporation were subject to such
sections; and (2) if filing such documents by the Corporation with the SEC is not permitted under the Exchange Act, promptly upon written request and payment of the reasonable cost of duplication and delivery, supply copies of such documents to any prospective Holder.







Section 1009.  Statement as to Compliance







The Corporation will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer, or principal accounting officer as to his knowledge of the Corporation’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof.  For purposes of this Section 1009, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice under this Indenture.







Section 1010.  Additional Amounts







If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Corporation will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301.  Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context except in the case of Section 502(1), the payment of the principal or of any premium, Make-Whole Amount, or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment of any related Coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by
the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were, or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.







Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made) and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any premium or Make-Whole Amount or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Corporation will furnish the Trustee and the Corporation’s principal Paying Agent
or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of, and any premium or interest on, the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related Coupons that are not United States persons without withholding for, or on account of, any tax, assessment, or other governmental charge described in the Securities of, or within, the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities of that series or related Coupons, and the Corporation will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional
Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled: (1) to assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or related Coupons until it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise; and (2) to make all payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities of a series or related Coupons without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Corporation covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability, or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of, or in connection with,
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this section or in reliance on the Corporation’s not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate.

Section 1011.  Waiver of Certain Covenants







The Corporation may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision, or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1007, inclusive, and with any other term, provision, or condition with respect to the Securities of any series specified in accordance with Section 301 (except any such term, provision, or condition that could not be amended without the consent of all Holders of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 902), if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to, or affect, such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Corporation 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 1102.  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee







The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution.  In case of any redemption at the election of the Corporation of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Corporation shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.

52











  








Section 1103.  Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed







If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms 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 issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.







The Trustee shall promptly notify the Corporation and the Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, 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 Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security that has been or is to be redeemed.







Section 1104.  Notice of Redemption







Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days or more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.







Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives the notice.







All notices of redemption shall state:







(1)           the Redemption Date;







(2)           the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any;







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







(4)           in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the holder will receive, without a charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed;







(5)           that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date;






  





53











  








(6)           the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of Bearer Securities with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for conversion;







(7)           that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;







(8)           that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity satisfactory to the Corporation, the Trustee for such series, and any Paying Agent is furnished;







(9)           if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to the redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Corporation, on which such exchanges may be made;







(10)           the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, provided that neither the Corporation nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any such CUSIP number; and







(11)           if applicable, that a Holder of Securities that desires to convert Securities to be redeemed must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in such Securities, the then-existing conversion price or rate, and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire.







Notice of redemption of Securities to be redeemed shall be given by the Corporation or, at the Corporation request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Corporation.







Section 1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price







On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest
on, all the Securities or portions thereof that are to be redeemed on that date.







Section 1106.  Securities Payable on Redemption Date







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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the Coupons for
such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Corporation at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and,
unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest; and provided further that, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall 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.






  





54











  













If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made
from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons.







If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security.







Section 1107.  Securities Redeemed in Part







Any Security that is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this article or of Article Twelve) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Corporation or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Corporation 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, 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.












ARTICLE TWELVE


SINKING FUNDS







Section 1201.  Applicability of Article







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







The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities of any series 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 mandatory 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 Securities of such series.






  





55











  













Section 1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities







The Corporation may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of a series: (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto; and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Corporation pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or that have otherwise been acquired
by the Corporation; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.







Section 1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund







Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking payment date for Securities of any series, the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited.  If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Corporation shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.  Not less than 30 days before 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 Corporation 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


REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS







Section 1301.  Applicability of Article







Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this article.







Section 1302.  Repayment of Securities







Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereon, together with interest, if any, thereof accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities.  The Corporation covenants that on or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units, or composite currency or currencies
in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date. 












  





56











  








Section 1303.  Exercise of Option







Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities.  In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Corporation shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 60 days or later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date: (1) the Security so providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse thereof duly completed by the
Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing); or (2) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, or letter;
provided, however, that such telegram, telex, facsimile transmission, or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day.  If less than the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified.  The principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be
repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of, or within, the series of which such Security to be repaid is a part.  Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Corporation.







Section 1304.  When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable







If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable and shall be paid by the Corporation on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to the extent
provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Corporation, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that Coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such Coupons; and provided further that, in the case of Registered Securities, installments
of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Corporation shall default in the payment thereof) 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.






  





57











  













If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made
as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons.







If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such Security.







Section 1305.  Securities Repaid in Part







Upon surrender of any Registered Security that is to be repaid in part only, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of the Corporation, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in exchange for, the portion of the principal of such Security so surrendered that is not to be repaid.












ARTICLE FOURTEEN


DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE







Section 1401.  Applicability of Article; Corporation’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance







If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of: (1) defeasance of the Securities of, or within, a series under Section 1402; or (2) covenant defeasance of the Securities of, or within, a series under Section 1403 to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then the provisions of such section or sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this article (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Corporation may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to defease such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto pursuant to Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this article.







Section 1402.  Defeasance and Discharge







Upon the Corporation’s exercise of the above option applicable to this section with respect to any Securities of, or within, a series, the Corporation shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).  For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Corporation shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, which
shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (1) and (2) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Corporation, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest
on, if any, such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due; (2) the Corporation’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002, and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 1011; (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and (4) this article. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Corporation may exercise its option under this section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.






  





58











  













Section 1403.  Covenant Defeasance







Upon the Corporation’s exercise of the above option applicable to this section with respect to any Securities of, or within, a series, the Corporation shall be released from its obligations under Sections 1004 to 1008, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent, or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Sections 1004 to 1008, inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder.  For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Corporation may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition, or limitation set forth in any such section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under
Section 501(4) or 501(9) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.







Section 1404.  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance







The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of, or within, a series and any Coupons appertaining thereto:







(1)           The Corporation shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 that shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Fourteen 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 benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto: (i) an amount in such currency, currencies, or currency unit in which such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are
then specified as payable at Stated Maturity; or (ii) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency, currencies, or currency unit in which such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity), 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 of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest on, if any, such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount; or (iii) a combination thereof in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, 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 other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge: (a) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest on, if any, such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest; and (b) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto; provided, that the Trustee shall have been
irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government Obligations to said payments with respect to such Securities. Before such a deposit, the Corporation may give to the Trustee, in accordance with Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing. 












  







59










  








 


(2)           Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or instrument to which the Corporation is a party or by which it is bound (and shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest pursuant to Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any Security of the Corporation).







(3)           No Event of Default or event that with notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(7) and 501(8) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).







(4)           In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that: (i) the Corporation has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling; or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain, or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.







(5)           In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain, or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner, and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.






  





60











  








(6)           The Corporation shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either: (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (1) above and the related exercise of the Corporation’s option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case may be) registration is not required under the Investment Company Act
of 1940, as amended, by the Corporation, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds; or (ii) all necessary registrations under the Investment Company Act of 1940 have been effected.







(7)           After the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.







(8)           Notwithstanding any other provisions of this section, such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions, or limitations that may be imposed on the Corporation in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.







Section 1405.  Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions







Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Corporation
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest, and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.







Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(1) has been made: (1) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(1) has been made in respect of such Security; or (2) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(1) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons appertaining
thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and interest on, if any, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.







The Corporation 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 1404 or the principal and interest received in respect thereof, other than any such tax, fee, or other charge that by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.






  





61











  













Anything in this article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Corporation from time to time, upon Corporation Request, any money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 that, 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 that would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this article.

required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank, or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities.

(2)           The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Corporation or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1502(2), in which case, the Corporation or the Holders of Securities of, or within, the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.  A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting.







(3)           At any meeting, each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.  The chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.







(4)           Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.







Section 1506.  Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings







The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them.  The permanent chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes, who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting.  A record, at least in duplicate, of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504.  Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Corporation and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.  Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein
stated.







Section 1507.  Evidence of Action Taken by Holders







Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver, or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Holders of any or all series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Holders in person or by 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. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Article Six) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Corporation, if made in the manner provided in this article.

UTAH MEDICAL PRODUCTS, INC.







[Designation of Senior Security]












Utah Medical Products, Inc., a Utah corporation (hereinafter called the “Corporation,” which term shall include any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to _____________________________, or registered assigns, upon presentation, the principal sum of _____________________________ DOLLARS on ____________, and to pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon from _____________, or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semiannually in arrears on _____________ and __________ in each year, commencing
___________, at the rate of ___% per annum, until the entire principal amount hereof is paid or made available for payment.  The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Security (or one or more Predecessor Senior 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 shall 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 Senior Security (or one or more Predecessor Senior 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 Senior Securities of this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Senior Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture.  Payment of the principal of, Make-Whole Amount on, if any, and interest on, this Senior Security will be made at the office or agency of the Corporation maintained for that purpose in the City of ______________, or State of _____________, or elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, 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 Corporation, 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 kept for the Senior Securities pursuant to Section 305 of the Indenture (the “Security Register”), or transfer to an account of the Person entitled thereto located inside the United States.







This Senior Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Corporation (herein called the “Senior Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of ______________, (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Corporation and _____________ (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Senior Securities), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto
reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties, and immunities thereunder of the Corporation, the Trustee, and the Holders of the Senior Securities and of the terms upon which the Senior Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered.  This Senior Security is one of the series designated as the “[designation of Senior Securities],” limited in aggregate principal amount to $________________.






  





 











  








The Senior Securities may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Corporation, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 or less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of (i) the principal amount of the Senior Securities being redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date, and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such Senior Securities.







The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the Senior Securities of this series at the option of the Corporation:







“Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or accelerated payment of any Senior Security, the excess, if any, of (1) the aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated payment of each Dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of interest (exclusive of any interest accrued to the date of redemption or accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of such Dollar if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third
Business Day preceding the date such notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (2) the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities being redeemed or paid.







“Reinvestment Rate” means 0.25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings “This Week” and “Last Week” published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the principal being redeemed or paid.  If no maturity exactly corresponds to such maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods to the nearest month.  For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.







“Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15 (519)” or any successor publication that is published weekly by the Federal Reserve System and that establishes yields on actively traded United States government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture, then such other reasonably comparable index, which shall be designated by the Corporation.







The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of the Corporation on this Senior Security and certain restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable to the Corporation, in each case, upon compliance by the Corporation with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Senior Security.







If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Securities shall occur and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, the Senior Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.







As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Senior Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Senior Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered
the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Senior Securities 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 Senior Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.






  





 











  













The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Corporation and the rights of the Holders of the Senior Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Corporation and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Senior Securities.  The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Senior Securities, to waive compliance by the Corporation with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past
defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Senior Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Senior Security and of any Senior Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof, or in exchange or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Senior Security.







No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Senior Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Corporation, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, Make-Whole Amount on, if any, and interest on, this Senior Security at the times, place, and rate and in the coin or currency herein prescribed.







As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Senior Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Senior Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Corporation in any Place of Payment where the principal of, Make-Whole Amount on, if any, and interest on, this Senior Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Security Registrar for the Senior Securities (the “Security Registrar”) duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.







The Senior Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without Coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.  As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Senior Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Senior Securities of this series of a different 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 Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.







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







No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant, or agreement contained in the Indenture or in this Senior Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present, or future shareholder, Officer, or director, as such, of the Corporation or of any successor, either directly or through the Corporation or any successor, under any rule of law, statute, or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of this Senior
Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the consideration for the issue of the Senior Securities.






  





 











  













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







THE INDENTURE AND THE SENIOR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SENIOR SECURITY, SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF UTAH.







Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification Procedures, the Corporation has caused “CUSIP” numbers to be printed on the Senior Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the Senior Securities.  No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Senior Securities, and reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.







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












IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Corporation has caused this instrument to be duly executed under its corporate seal this day of _________________.
