     (1) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or
taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent
duly appointed in writing. If, but only if, Securities of a series are
issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture to be made, 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, either 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 are delivered to the Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. 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 (subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee
or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section. The record of
any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in
Section 1506.



     Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depository
that is a Holder of a global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or
proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a
Depository that is a



11









 




Holder of a global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the
beneficial owners of interests in any such global Security through such
Depository’s standing instructions and customary practices.




     (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such
instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the Trustee
deems sufficient and in accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee
may determine; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with
respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.



     (3) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Registered
Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of
the termination of holding the same, shall be proved by the Security Register.



     (4) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer
Securities held by any Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of
the termination of holding the same, 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 reasonably acceptable to the Company,
wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and 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 Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory. The
Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security
continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date
issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer
Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer
Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such
Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and
serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such
instrument or writing and the date of the commencement and the date of the
termination of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which
the Company and the Trustee deem sufficient.



     (5) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option (but is not obligated to),
by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of
Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. 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 Registered Securities of record at the close of business on
such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose 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 of Registered
Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record
date.



12









 





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



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



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




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




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



     Section 106. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.



     Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,




     (1) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered
Securities if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder of a Registered Security affected by such event, at his 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; and




     (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer
Securities, if any, if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City
of New York and, if such Securities are then listed on any stock exchange
outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the
Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on
a Business Day at least twice, the first such publication to be not
earlier than the earliest date and the second such publication not later
than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.



     In any case where 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 of a Registered Security 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 which is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.
In the case by reason of the suspension of



13









 





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



     In case 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 failure to give notice by
publication to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect
in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed
to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above.



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



     Section 107. Language of Notices.



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



     Section 108. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.



     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any duties
under any required provision of the Trust Indenture Act imposed hereon by
Section 318(c) thereof, such required provision shall control.



     Section 109. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.



     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for

     Section 110. Successors and Assigns.

its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

of the remaining provisions shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



14









 





     Section 112. Benefits of Indenture.



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



     Section 113. Governing Law.



     This Indenture, the Securities and any Coupons shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to
agreements made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in
said State.



     Section 114. Legal Holidays.



     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Securities, in any case where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or
Maturity of, or any other day on which a payment is due with respect to, any
Security shall be a day which is not a Business Day at any Place of Payment,
then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, any Security or
any Coupon other than a provision in any Security or Coupon or in the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture establishing the
terms of any Security that specifically states that such provision shall apply
in lieu hereof) payment need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date,
but such payment may be made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day
at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the
Interest Payment Date, at the Stated Maturity or Maturity or on any such other
payment date, as the case may be, and no interest shall accrue on the amount
payable on such date or at such time for the period from and after such
Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Maturity or other payment date, as the
case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.



     Section 115. Counterparts.



     This Indenture may be executed in several counterparts, each of which
shall be an original and all of which shall constitute but one and the same
instrument.



     Section 116. Judgment Currency.



     The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or
premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the Securities of any
series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be
rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate
at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could
purchase in The City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment
Currency on the New York Banking Day preceding that on which a final
unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to
make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered
in accordance with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the
actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the



15









 




Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
(ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which
such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required
Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment
being obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or
executive order to be closed. The provisions of this Section 116 shall not be
applicable with respect to any payment due on a Security which is payable in
Dollars.




     Section 117. Extension of Payment Dates.



     In the event that (i) the terms of any Security or Coupon appertaining
thereto established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any
Holder thereof to extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with
respect to such Security or Coupon is due and payable and (ii) the due date for
any such payment shall have been so extended, then all references herein to the
Stated Maturity of such payment (and all references of like import) shall be
deemed to refer to the date as so extended.



     Section 118. Immunity of Stockholders, Directors, Officers and Agents
of the Company.



     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in this Indenture, or in any Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced
thereby, shall be had against any past, present or future stockholder,
employee, officer or director, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or
successor, either directly or through the Company or any predecessor or
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 and as part of the consideration
for the issue of the Securities.

     Section 203. Securities in Global Form.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Securities, the Securities shall not be issuable in global form. If Securities
of a series shall be issuable in temporary or permanent global form, any such
Security may provide that it or any number of such Securities shall represent
the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such
lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed
thereon or reflected on the books and records of the Trustee and may also
provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby
may from time to time be increased or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any
endorsement of any Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in the rights of Holders, of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by
such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or pursuant to Section 301
with respect to such Security or in the Company Order to be delivered pursuant
to Section 303 or 304 with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of
Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver any Security in global form in the manner and upon instructions given
by the Person or Persons specified therein or pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to such Security or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company
Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered,
any instructions by the Company with respect to a Security in global form shall
be in writing but need not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers’



17









 




Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event a
global Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities as provided in
Section 305, then, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall deliver and
redeliver such global Security to the extent necessary to effect such
exchanges, shall endorse such global Security to reflect any decrease in the
principal amount thereto resulting from such exchanges and shall take such
other actions, all as contemplated by Section 305.




     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified
in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of,
any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of any
Security in temporary or permanent global form shall be made to the Person or
Persons specified therein.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of
Outstanding Securities represented by a global Security (i) in the case of a
global Security in registered form, the Holder of such global Security in
registered form, or (ii) in the case of a global Security in bearer form, the
Person or Persons specified pursuant to Section 301.

limitation, on one or more Currencies, commodities, equity indices or

     (19) if any one or more of Section 401 relating to satisfaction and

specified in Section 402(3) relating to the Securities of such series
which shall be subject to covenant defeasance, and, if the Securities of
such series are subject to repurchase or repayment at the option of the

exchange of a temporary Security) only upon receipt of certain
certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions, then
the form and terms of such certificates, documents or conditions;




     (22) whether and under what circumstances the Company will pay
Additional Amounts on such Securities to any holder who is a United
States Alien in respect of any tax, assessment or other government charge

Security of such series shall be payable, if other than upon presentation
and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto as they severally
mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest
payable on a temporary global Security will be paid if other than in the
manner provided in this Indenture; and




     (25) any other terms of such Securities and any deletions from or

Securities.



     All Securities of any one series and all Coupons, if any, appertaining to
Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially identical except as to
Currency of payments due thereunder, denomination and the rate of interest, or
method of determining the rate of interest, if any, Maturity, and the date from
which interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by
the Company in or pursuant to the Board Resolution and set forth in the
Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto
pertaining to such series of Securities. The terms of the Securities of any
series may provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time
upon telephonic or written order of persons designated in the Board Resolution,
Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture, as the case may be, pertaining
to such series of Securities (telephonic instructions to be promptly confirmed
in writing by such person) and that such persons are authorized to determine,
consistent with such Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental
indenture, such terms and conditions of the Securities of such series as are
specified in such Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental
indenture. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same
time and, if so provided by the Company as contemplated by this Section 301, a
series may be reopened from time to time without the consent of any Holders for
issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish additional
terms of such series of Securities.



     If any of the terms of the Securities of any series shall be established
by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, the Board Resolution
shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.



     Section 302. Currency; Denominations.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal
of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to the
Securities shall be payable in Dollars. Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, Registered Securities denominated in Dollars shall
be issuable in registered form without Coupons in denominations of $1,000 and
any integral multiple thereof, and the Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars
shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000. Securities not denominated in
Dollars shall be issuable in such denominations as are established with respect to such
Securities in or pursuant to this Indenture.



22









 





     Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.



     Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its
President or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer, one of its
Assistant Treasurers, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries and may
(but need not) have its corporate seal or a facsimile thereof reproduced
thereon. Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman,
the President or any Vice President of the Company. The signature of any of
these officers on the Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto may be
manual or facsimile.



     Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of
the Company shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, bind the Company,
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 Company may deliver Securities, together with any Coupons
appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee for
authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such
Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the
Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the
provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel to the following effect,
which Opinion of Counsel may contain such assumptions, qualifications and
limitations as such counsel shall deem appropriate:




     (a) the form or forms and terms of such Securities and
Coupons, if any, have been established in conformity with Sections
201 and 301 of this Indenture; and




     (b) all conditions precedent set forth in Sections 201, 301
and 303 of this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of
such Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto have been
complied with and that such Securities, and Coupons, when completed
by appropriate insertions (if applicable), executed by duly
authorized officers of the Company, delivered by duly authorized
officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant
to this Indenture, and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium, arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or
other similar laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights
generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at
law).



23









 





     If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it
shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance
of each Security, but such opinion, with such modifications as counsel shall
deem appropriate, shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the
first Security of such series. After any such first delivery, any separate
request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series
for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication
and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with.



     The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an
Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a
manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee,
being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be
taken.



     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
Each Bearer Security and any Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as
of the date specified in or pursuant to this Indenture.



     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 a certificate of authentication substantially in
the form provided for in Section 202 or 611 executed by or on behalf of the
Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder. Except as permitted by Section 306 or 307 or as may
otherwise be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall not
authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining
thereto then matured have been detached and cancelled.



     Section 304. Temporary Securities.



     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute
and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303, temporary
Securities in lieu thereof which 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 or pursuant to this
Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as
the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary
Securities may be in global form.




24










 





     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be
exchanged in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Indenture or the
provisions established pursuant to Section 301, if temporary Securities are
issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, after the preparation of definitive Securities of the same series
and containing terms and provisions that are identical to those of any
temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such
definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office
or Agency for such Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Except as
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon surrender for
cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities (accompanied by any
unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series
and containing identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no
definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, 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 or pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to a temporary global Security, 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.



     Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.



     With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the
Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such register being herein
sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) at an Office or Agency for
such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered
Securities of such series and of transfers of the Registered Securities of such
series. Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security Registrar” for that
series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities, the initial Security Registrar for each series of
Securities shall be as specified in the penultimate paragraph of Section 1002.
The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the
Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal
or replacement shall be effective until a successor Security Registrar with
respect to such series of Securities shall have been appointed by the Company
and shall have accepted such appointment. In the event that the Trustee shall
not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a series of
Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such
series at all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register for
each series of Securities.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series
at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same
series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like
aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding
and containing identical terms and provisions.



25









 





     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, at the
option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for
other Registered Securities of the same series containing identical terms and
provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any Office or
Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities
of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series
may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series containing identical
terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the
same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be
exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, 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, such exchange may be effected if the
Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company
and the Trustee 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 Company 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 Bearer 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 for such series located
outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such
series in exchange for a Registered Security of such 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 date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as
the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer
Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the
Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall
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 shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon
when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of
any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series
may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series.



26









 





     Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by
the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, the global Securities of any series shall be exchangeable
for definitive certificated Securities of such series only if (i) the
Depository for such global Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling
or unable to continue as a Depository for such global Securities or at any time
the Depository for such global Securities ceases to be a clearing agency
registered as such under the Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or
regulation, and no successor Depository for such Securities shall have been
appointed within 90 days of such notification or of the Company becoming aware
of the Depository’s ceasing to be so registered, as the case may be, (ii) the
Company, in its sole discretion, determines that the Securities of such series
shall no longer be represented by one or more global Securities and executes
and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global
Securities shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing with respect to such Securities.



     If the beneficial owners of interests in a global Security are entitled to
exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an event
described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding paragraph, then without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which
such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or
pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms
and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global
Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such
interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from
time to time by the Depository (or its custodian) as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto (which the Company agrees to deliver), and
in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depository (which
instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by
an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall
be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for
definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of
such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of
like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which
(unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as
Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for
the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities
are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the
form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof,
and which shall be in such denominations and, in the case of Registered
Securities, registered in such names, as shall be specified by the Depository,
but subject to the satisfaction of any certification or other requirements to
the issuance of Bearer Securities; provided, however, that no such exchanges
may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the
relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in
exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly following any such
exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such
Depository (or its custodian)



27









 





or such other Depository (or its custodian) referred to above in
accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above, and the
Trustee shall endorse such global Security to reflect the decrease in the
principal amount thereof resulting from such exchange. If a Registered
Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the
close of business at the Office or Agency for such Security where such exchange
occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next Interest Payment Date,
or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before the opening of
business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall 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 shall 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 global Security
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



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



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



     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, or any redemption or repayment of Securities, or any
conversion or exchange of Securities for other types of securities or property,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 304, 905 or 1107, upon repayment or repurchase in part of
any Registered Security pursuant to Article Thirteen, or upon surrender in part
of any Registered Security for conversion or exchange into Common Stock or
other securities or property pursuant to its terms, in each case not involving
any transfer.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company
shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of the selection for redemption of Securities of like tenor and terms
and of the same series under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business
on the day of such selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Registered Security, or portion thereof, so selected for redemption, 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, to the extent provided with respect to such
Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered
Security of like tenor and terms and of the same series, provided that such
Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption with
written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this
Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or



28









 





exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder pursuant to Article
Thirteen and not withdrawn, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to
be so repaid.



     The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or
inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this
Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest
in any Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary
participants or beneficial owners of interests in any global Security) other
than to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or
evidence as are expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly
required by the terms of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine
substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements hereof.



     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, subject to the provisions of
this Section 306, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series containing
identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding
to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.



     If there be delivered to the Company 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 notice
to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu
of any such mutilated, 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 containing identical terms and of like principal amount 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.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306, in case any
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about
to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Security, pay such Security or Coupon; provided, however, that
payment of principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002, be payable only at an Office or Agency for such Securities
located outside the United States and, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, any interest on Bearer Securities and any Additional Amounts
with respect to such interest shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto.



29









 





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



     Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining thereto 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 a separate obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining thereto 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 such series and any
Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.



     The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to
this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally, shall (to
the extent lawful) be 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 and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain Additional Amounts Preserved.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which
shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest. Unless otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in
exchange for a Registered Security after the close of business at an Office or
Agency for such Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date therefor, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable
on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of
such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest
on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which
shall be payable, but shall not be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:




     (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor
Security thereof) shall be registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which
shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be
paid on such Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the



30









 






Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to
the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled
to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon, the
Company 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
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of such Special Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee 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 the Holder of such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security
thereof) at his 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 Company cause a similar
notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of
general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
but such publication 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 Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor
Security thereof) shall be 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 is surrendered at the
Office or Agency for such Security in exchange for a Registered Security
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
Defaulted Interest and Defaulted Interest shall not be payable on such
proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the
Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.




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



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of any particular series, at the option of the Company, interest on
Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the
address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the
Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a
bank located in the United States of America.



31









 





     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and
to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.



     Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners.



     Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered in
the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose
of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 305
and 307) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with
respect to such Registered Security shall be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.



     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the bearer of any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the
absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment
thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and
neither the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     No holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its
behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect
to such global Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such
global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, 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 global Security or for maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.



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



     Section 309. Cancellation.



     All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer, exchange or conversion 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, as
well as Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such
purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in
any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled
promptly by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu



32









 





of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this
Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this Indenture. All
cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by
the Trustee in accordance with its procedures then in effect for the
disposition of cancelled securities, unless by a Company Order the Company
directs their return to it.



     Section 310. Computation of Interest.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or in the
Securities of any series, interest on the Securities shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



     Section 311. CUSIP Numbers.




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

ARTICLE FOUR




Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture




     Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge.



     Unless, pursuant to Section 301, the provisions of this Section 401 shall
not be applicable with respect to the Securities of any series, upon the
direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be
of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in such
Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Trustee, on receipt
of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to
such series, when




     (1) either




     (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated
and delivered and all Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i)
Coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series
surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities of such series
and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is not required or
has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities and
Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen
and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306,
(iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series called for
redemption and maturing after the relevant Redemption Date whose
surrender has been waived as provided in Section 1106, and (iv)
Securities and Coupons of such series for whose payment money has
theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged
from such trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation; or




     (b) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or
(ii) below, if applicable, any Coupons appertaining thereto not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation




     (i) have become due and payable, or




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




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




and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust for such purpose, money in the Currency in which such
Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge
the entire indebtedness on such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation,



34









 






including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and, to
the extent that the Securities of such series provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount of any such
Additional Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the
Securities of such series is at the time of deposit determinable by
the Company (in the exercise by the Company of its reasonable
discretion), any Additional Amounts with respect to, such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of
such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be;




     (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable
hereunder by the Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of
such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and




     (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture as to such series have been complied with.



     In the event there are Securities of two or more series Outstanding
hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with
respect to Securities of such series as to which it is Trustee and if the other
conditions thereto are met.



     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Section 606 and, if money shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series under Sections 305, 306, 403, 404, 1002, 1003 and, if applicable to
the Securities of such series, 1004 (including, without limitation, with
respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1004, but only to the extent that the
Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount
deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 401(1)(b)),
any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series)
to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the
Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of the Holders
pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof, and any rights of Holders of the
Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the
obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into Common
Stock or other securities or property, shall survive.



     Section 402. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.



     (1) Unless, pursuant to Section 301, either or both of (i) defeasance of
the Securities of or within a series under clause (2) of this Section 402 or
(ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under clause
(3) of this Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities
of such series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of
this Section 402 (with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant
to Section 301



35









 





with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by
Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 402(2) or
Section 402(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in
this Section 402. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance under clause (2) of this
Section 402 and covenant defeasance under clause (3) of this Section 402 may be
effected only with respect to all, and not less than all, of the Outstanding
Securities of any series. To the extent that the terms of any Security or
Coupon appertaining thereto established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit
the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the date on which any payment of
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on, or Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to such Security or Coupon is due and payable,
then unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, the right to extend
such date shall terminate upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case
may be.



     (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section 402(2) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the
Company 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 clause (4) of this Section 402 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Company 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 clause (5) of this Section 402 and the other Sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, 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 Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely (except as provided in
clause (ii) below) from the trust fund described in clause (4)(a) of this
Section 402 and as more fully set forth in this Section 402 and 403, payments
in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on,
and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations
of the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections
305, 306, 1002, 1003 and, if applicable to the Securities of such series, 1004
(including, without limitation, with respect to the payment of Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section
1004, but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect
to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional
Amounts pursuant to clause (4)(a) of this Section 402)), any rights of Holders
of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of such series) to require the Company to repurchase
or repay, and the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such
Securities at the option of the Holders pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof,
and any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to
convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or exchange,
such Securities into Common Stock or other securities or property, (iii) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv)
this Section 402 and Sections 403 and



36









 





404. The Company may exercise its option under this Section 402(2)
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 402(3) with
respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.



     (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this
Section 402(3) with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the
Company shall be released from its obligations under clauses (ii) and (iii) of
Section 1005 and under Sections 1006, 1007, and 1008 and, to the extent
specified pursuant to Section 301, any other covenant applicable to such
Securities with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
(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 any such 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 Company 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 any 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(8) or otherwise, as the case may
be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.



     (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or
(3) of this Section 402 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto:




     (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions
of this Section 402 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, (1) an amount in Dollars
or in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity or,
if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance
with subsection (f) below, on the relevant Redemption Date, as the case

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, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if
any, on, and, to the extent that such Securities provide for the payment
of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount of any such Additional
Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of
such series is at the time of deposit determinable by the Company (in the
exercise by the Company of its reasonable discretion), any Additional
Amounts with respect to, such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or
installment of principal or interest or the applicable Redemption Date,
as the case may be, and (z) 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.




     (b) 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 Company or any
Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound.




     (c) No Event of Default or event which 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, and, solely in the case of
defeasance under Section 402(2), no Event of Default with respect to such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto under clause (5) or (6)

become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 shall
have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period ending on
and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being

not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

effect that, and based thereon such opinion of independent counsel 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; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to Section
402(3), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee 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.

     (e) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions

as the case may be, deposited under clause (a) above are sufficient to
pay the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and,
to the extent provided in such clause (a), Additional Amounts with
respect to, such Securities provided such Securities are redeemed on a
particular Redemption Date, the Company shall have given the Trustee
irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to
provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant

     (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 402(4),
such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance
with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or limitations which
may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section
301.



     (5) 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 402(5)
and Section 403, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4)(a) of Section 402 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 (other than the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company acting as 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, if any) and 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 in or pursuant to this Indenture or any
Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has been made,
(a) 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 other than that in which the deposit
pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b)
a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the Foreign Currency in which the
deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) 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, if any), and interest, if any, on,
and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, 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 in which such Security
becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based on (x)
in the case of payments



39









 





made pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for
such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date,
or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate
for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the
Conversion Event.



     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to this Section 402 or the principal or interest received in
respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is
for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto.



     Anything in this Section 402 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in
excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to
effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with
this Section 402.



     Section 403. Application of Trust Money.



     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
and Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401
or 402 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 Company acting as
its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled
thereto, of the principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose
payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited with or
received by the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.



     Section 404. Reinstatement.



     If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to Section
402(4)(a)) or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401(1) or 402(4)(a) to pay any
principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to the Securities of any series by reason of any legal
proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series
shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until
such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations to pay the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and Additional
Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series as contemplated by
Sections 401 or 402 as the case may be, and Section 403; provided, however,
that if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any,
or interest if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the
Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as
aforesaid, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or
Paying Agent.

     If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause
(5) or (6) of Section 501) with respect to Securities of any series occurs and
is continuing, then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may

thereon shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and
payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any

such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and

money sufficient to pay (or, to the extent that the terms of the
Securities of such series established pursuant to Section 301 expressly
provide for payment to be made in shares of Common Stock or other
securities or property, shares of Common Stock or other securities or
property, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares or securities,
sufficient to pay)




     (a) all overdue installments of any interest on any Securities
of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
any Additional Amounts with respect thereto,




     (b) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such
series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto and,
to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest thereon at the
rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided for in or
with respect to such Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are
so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be,
of interest borne by such Securities,




     (c) to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon
installments of any interest, if any, which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any
Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or respective
rates, as the case may be, provided for in or with respect to such
Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the
rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by
such Securities, and




     (d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 606; and



43









 






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



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



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



     The Company covenants that if:




     (1) default is made in the payment of any interest on, or any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of any interest on, any Security or
any Coupon appertaining thereto when such interest or Additional Amounts,
as the case may be, shall have become due and payable and such default
continues for a period of 30 days, or




     (2) default is made in the payment of any principal of or premium,
if any, on, or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal
of or premium, if any, on, any Security at its Maturity, or




     (3) default is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when
due,



the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
the whole amount of money then due and payable with respect to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal,
any premium and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any overdue
installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or respective
rates, as the case may be, provided for or with respect to such Securities or,
if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as
the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 606.



     If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee
pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee,
the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute
a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so due and unpaid, and
may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be
payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
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
Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the
Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such



44









 





rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement
in this Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.



     Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.



     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of any overdue principal, premium, interest or
Additional Amounts) shall be entitled 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 the
principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and
unpaid in respect of the Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
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, its agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities or
any Coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding, and




     (2) to collect and receive any monies 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 or any 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 of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 606.



     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security or any 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 any Coupon in any such proceeding.



     Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of
Securities or Coupons.



     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the
Securities or Coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Securities or Coupons or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee
shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any
recovery or judgment, after provision for the payment of the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, shall be for the ratable benefit of each and every Holder of a
Security or Coupon in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such
series;




     (2) the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written

majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series;



it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have

of this Indenture or any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of
any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to
obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided
and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.



     Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal and
any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

other securities or property, to convert or exchange, as the case may be, such
Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and any such right to convert or exchange, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.



     Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

case the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to

Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default

remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
or to any Holder of a Security or a Coupon may, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be.



     Section 512. Control by Holders of Securities.



     The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, provided that




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




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




     (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the
other Holders of Securities of such series not joining in such action.



     Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.



     The Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of any series on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may waive any
past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except




     (1) a default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of
such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or




     (2) in the case of any Securities which are convertible into or
exchangeable for Common Stock or other securities or property, a default
in any such conversion or exchange, or




     (3) a default 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.



48









 





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



     Section 514. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.



     The Company covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it
will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law
or any other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which
would prohibit or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the
principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any on or Additional Amounts,
if any, with respect to any Securities as contemplated herein and therein or
which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the
Securities; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it
will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Trustee or the Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every
such power as though no such law had been enacted.



     Section 515. Undertaking for Costs.



     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by
his 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
any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements, 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;
but the provisions of this Section 515 shall not apply to any suit instituted
by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders,
holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any
Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date, and,
in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder pursuant to Article
Thirteen hereof, on or after the date for repayment) or for the enforcement of
the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into Common Stock or
other securities in accordance with its terms.

statements of the Company and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent
assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or the Coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a
Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and

     Section 606. Compensation and Reimbursement.

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




     (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and

expenses of defending themselves against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection
with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
hereunder or in connection with enforcing the provisions of this Section,
except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to
the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.



     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under

interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities or any Coupons
appertaining thereto.

specified by Section 501(5) or (6) is intended to constitute an expense of

Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the
rights of any other Trustee under this Section 606. The provisions of this

this Indenture (including, without limitation, termination pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Laws) and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least
$50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state

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 pursuant to 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 Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 609 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee, at the expense of the Company,
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to such series.



53









 





     (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 the
Company.



     (4) If at any time:




     (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed
upon it under Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to
Securities of any series after written request therefor by the Company or
any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security of such series for at least six months, or




     (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or any
such Holder, or




     (c) 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, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution,
may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such
series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, 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
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series 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 Company, 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) and shall
comply with the applicable requirements of Section 609. 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 Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 609, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and
accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 609, 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 the Securities of such series.



54









 





     (6) The Company 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 by mailing
written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the
Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are
issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the United
States. 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) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect
to all Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the
request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon
payment of its charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to
such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring
Trustee and, subject to Section 1003, 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.



     (2) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary
or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with
respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be
vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the
provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, 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 that no
Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any
act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and
obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, and such
successor



55









 




Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or such
successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor relates and subject to Section 1003 shall duly assign, transfer
and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by such
supplemental indenture, the 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, subject to its claim, if any,
provided for in Section 606.




     (3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a successor Trustee,
the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and
trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.



     (4) No Person shall accept its appointment hereunder as a successor
Trustee unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Person 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 that such Corporation shall otherwise be 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 shall have
been authenticated but not delivered by the Trustee then in office, any such
successor to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities. In case any
Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any
such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities in either
its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee.



     Section 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.



     The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to
the Company with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of that
or those series issued upon original issue, exchange, registration of transfer,
partial redemption, partial repayment, partial conversion or exchange for
Common Stock or other securities or property, or pursuant to Section 306, 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. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent.



56









 





     Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and, except
as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a
Corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as
trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is
authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating
Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with
Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it 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 all or substantially all of
the corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent,
shall be the successor of such Authenticating Agent hereunder, provided such
Corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee
or the Authenticating Agent.



     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice
thereof to the Trustee and the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate
the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall (i) mail written
notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders
of Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, and (ii) if Securities of the series are issued as Bearer
Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an Authorized
Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has its
principal office if such office is located outside the United States. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.



     The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent from time to time
reasonable compensation for its services under this Section. If the Trustee
makes such payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments,
subject to the provisions of Section 606.



     The provisions of Sections 308, 603 and 604 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.



     If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series
of Securities 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 in substantially the following form:



57









 





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



	 	 	 	 	 	 	 
	Dated:

	 	

	 ,	 		 
	

	 	As Trustee	 	 	 	 







	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	By:  	
 	 
	 	 	As Authenticating Agent 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	 
	 	By:  	
 	 
	 	 	Authorized Signatory 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 




     If all of the Securities of any series may not be originally issued at one
time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating
Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the
Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original
issuance, the Trustee, if so requested in writing (which writing need not be
accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate of the Company), shall
appoint in accordance with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an
office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such
series of Securities.

Covenants




     Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional
Amounts.



     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal
of, any premium and interest on and
any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series,
whether payable in cash,



65









 




shares of Common Stock or other securities or property, in accordance with
the terms thereof, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any
interest due on any Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and any
Additional Amounts payable with respect to such interest, shall be payable only
upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for such
interest as they severally mature.




     Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.



     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer
Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is
located outside the United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer
or exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or
exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices
and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series
relating thereto and this Indenture may be served; provided that, if (i) the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York is a Place of Payment for the
Securities of any series, (ii) there shall be another Place of Payment in the
United States of America for such Securities in addition to the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, and (iii) all Securities of such series are
originally issued solely in the form of one or more permanent global
Securities, then the Company shall not be required to maintain any such office
or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York unless and until
all or any portion of such global Securities shall be exchanged for or
otherwise issued as definitive certificated Securities of such series as
contemplated by the last paragraph of this Section 1002. If Securities of a
series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject
to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place
of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States where
Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented
and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of such
series are listed on the London Stock Exchange or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange
or any other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock
exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in London,
Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the
case may be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such
exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of such Office or Agency. If at any
time the Company 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 such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at
the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment
of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer
Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency 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, if
amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in
Dollars, payment of
principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to any such



66









 




Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any
Office or Agency designated by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such
principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside the
United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with
this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or
other similar restrictions.




     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices
or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all 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 Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or
Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes.
The Company shall 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 provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company
hereby designates the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York as a Place of
Payment for each series of Securities, initially appoints the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York as the
Company’s Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York
for such purpose and initially appoints the Trustee as the Security Registrar
for each series of Securities and, if the Securities of any series are
convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock or other securities or
property, initially appoints the Trustee as conversion or exchange agent, as
the case may be, for the Securities of such series. The Company may
subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York and, as provided in Section 305, may remove and replace
from time to time the Security Registrar.



     As set forth above in this Section 1002, and unless otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, in the event
that the Securities of a series are originally issued solely in the form of one
or more permanent global Securities and if at any time thereafter Securities of
such series are issued in definitive certificated form in exchange for all or
any portion of such global Securities (whether pursuant to Section 305 or
otherwise pursuant to the terms of such Securities), the Company shall, at all
times from and after the date of the first such exchange until such time as no
Securities of such series in definitive certificated form are Outstanding,
establish and maintain an Office or Agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York (in addition to any other Offices or Agencies the Company is
required to maintain in respect of such Securities) where Securities of such
series may be surrendered and where notices and demands in respect of
Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served for the purposes
specified in, and as contemplated by, the first paragraph of this Section 1002.



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



     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect
to any series of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the
principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with
respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the Currency or
Currencies in
which the Securities of such series are payable sufficient to pay the
principal, any premium,



67









 




interest and Additional Amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.




     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series
of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, or
any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any
Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency
or Currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the
principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts, as the case may be, so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.



     The Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities
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 shall:




     (1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of,
any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to
Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or
otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;




     (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of any
payment of principal, any premium or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; 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.


To the extent that the terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section
301 provide that any principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any such Securities is or may be payable in
Common Stock or other securities or property, then the provisions of this
Section 1003 shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Common Stock
or other securities or property.




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



     Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security
of any series or any Coupon appertaining thereto and remaining unclaimed
for two years after



68









 




such principal or such premium or interest or Additional Amount shall have
become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if
then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and
all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such repayment, may, not later than 30 days after the
Company’s request for such repayment, at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such
series or to be mailed to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or
both, 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
or mailing nor shall it be earlier than two years after such principal and any
premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.




     Section 1004. Additional Amounts.



     If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Securities or any
Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is
mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any Coupon, such
mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
provided by the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto 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 provision hereof shall not
be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where
such express mention is not made.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of any series, 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 such series of Securities (or if the Securities of such
series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a
payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to
the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company
shall furnish to the Trustee and the Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other
than the Trustee, an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such
Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and premium,
if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series shall be made to
Holders of Securities of such series or the Coupons appertaining thereto who
are United States Aliens without withholding or deduction for or on account of
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of
such series or pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such
series. If any such withholding or deduction shall be required, then such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to
be withheld on or deducted from such payments to such Holders of Securities or
Coupons, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying
Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities.
The Company



69









 




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. Nothing in this Section 1004
or elsewhere in this Indenture shall limit the obligation of the Company to pay
Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of any series pursuant to the
terms, if any, established pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of such series.




     Section 1005. Corporate Existence.



     Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect (i) the
corporate existence of the Company, (ii) the existence (corporate or other) of
each Significant Subsidiary of the Company and (iii) the rights (charter and
statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and each of its Significant
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve the existence (corporate or other) of any of its Significant
Subsidiaries or any such right, license or franchise of the Company or any of
its Significant Subsidiaries if the Board of Directors of the Company
determines that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct
of the business of the Company and its Significant Subsidiaries taken as a
whole and that the loss thereof will not be disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.



     Section 1006. Maintenance of Properties.



     The Company will, and will cause each Significant Subsidiary to, cause all
its properties used or useful in the conduct of its business 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 Company 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 Company or any
Significant Subsidiary from discontinuing the operation and maintenance of any
of their respective properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of
the Board of Directors of the Company or of any Significant Subsidiary, as the
case may be, desirable in the conduct of its business.



     Section 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.



     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Sections 1002 to 1006, inclusive, with
respect to the Securities of any series and, if expressly provided pursuant to
Section 301(18), any additional covenants applicable to the Securities of such
series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by
Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or
generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition,
but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition
except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become
effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and
effect.



70









 





     Section 1008. Company Statement as to Compliance.



     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate) signed by the principal executive
officer, the principal financial officer or the principal accounting officer of
the Company, stating whether or not, to the best of his or her knowledge, the
Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms,
provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to notice
requirements or periods of grace) and if the Company shall be in default,
specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which he or
she may have knowledge.



ARTICLE ELEVEN




Redemption of Securities




     Section 1101. Applicability of Article.



     Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as
permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall be made in
accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise provided
herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.



     Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.



     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election
of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed and, in the event that the Company shall determine
that the Securities of any series to be redeemed shall be selected from
Securities of such series having the same issue date, interest rate or interest
rate formula, Stated Maturity and other terms (the “Equivalent Terms”), the
Company shall notify the Trustee of such Equivalent Terms.



     In the case of any redemption of Securities (A) prior to the expiration of
any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture or (B) pursuant to an election of the Company which
is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.



     Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.



     If less than all of the Securities of any series are to be redeemed or if
less than all of the Securities of any series with Equivalent 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 or from the Outstanding Securities of such series
with Equivalent Terms, as the case may be, not previously called for
redemption, by lot or such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions
of the principal amount of Registered Securities of such series;



71









 




provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the
portion of the principal amount of a Security of such series not redeemed to
less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established
herein or pursuant hereto.




     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company 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 Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion
of the principal of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.



     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities of any series, if any Security selected for partial redemption is
converted or exchanged for Common Stock or other securities or property in part
before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the
portion of the Security so selected, the converted or exchanged portion of such
Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for
redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a
selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as
Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.



     Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.



     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106,
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of
Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner
herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities 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 Securities or portions thereof.



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



     All notices of redemption shall state:




     (1) the Redemption Date,




     (2) the Redemption Price,




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



72









 






     (5) that, on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become
due and payable upon each such Security or portion thereof to be
redeemed, together (if applicable) with accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, thereon (subject, if applicable, to the provisos to the first
paragraph of Section 1106), and, if applicable, that interest thereon
shall cease to accrue on and after said date,




     (6) the place or places 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 any accrued interest and Additional Amounts
pertaining thereto,




     (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 Company, the Trustee 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 redemption on the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or
otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such
exchanges may be made,




     (10) in the case of Securities of any series that are convertible or
exchangeable into Common Stock or other securities or property, the then
current conversion or exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which
the right to convert or exchange the principal of the Securities of such
series to be redeemed will commence or terminate, as applicable, and the
place or places where and the Persons to whom such Securities may be
surrendered for conversion or exchange,




     (11) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or the Clearstream Banking,
société anonyme, reference numbers of such Securities, if any (or any
other numbers used by a Depository to identify such Securities), and




     (12) if the Redemption Price or any portion thereof shall be
payable, at the option of the Company or any Holders, in cash or in
Common Stock or other securities or property (or a combination thereof),
a statement as to whether the Company has elected to pay the Redemption
Price in cash or Common Stock or other securities or property or a
combination thereof and, if applicable, the portion of the Redemption
Price that is to be paid in cash, Common Stock or other securities or
property.



     A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106 need not
identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.



73









 





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



     Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.



     On or prior to 11 a.m. (local time in New York City) on any Redemption
Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series
called for redemption pursuant to Section 1104, with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the
applicable Currency sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if
the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date, unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for or in the Securities of such series) any
accrued interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to, all such Securities
or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, except that, if the
Securities of such series are convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock or
other securities or property, no such deposit shall be required with respect to
any such Securities (or portions thereof) which have been converted or
exchanged prior to such Redemption Date.



     Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.



     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed (except, in the case of Securities which are convertible or
exchangeable into Common Stock or other securities or property, any such
Securities which shall have been so converted or exchanged prior to the
applicable Redemption Date) shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, together with (unless
otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to
Section 301) accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon and from and after
such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall 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 Company at the
Redemption Price, together with, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture, any accrued and unpaid interest thereon and Additional Amounts
with respect thereto to but excluding the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Bearer Securities of such series, installments of interest on Bearer
Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at
an Office or Agency located outside the United States except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002), and provided, further, that, except as otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such
series, 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 Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.



74









 





     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 or, at the option of the
Company, after payment to the Trustee for the benefit of the Company of, 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 Company 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 any interest or Additional Amounts
represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such Security located outside of the
United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002.



     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium, until paid, shall bear
interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security or, if no rate is prescribed therefor in the Security, at the rate of
interest, if any, borne by such Security.



     Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.



     Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be
surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (with, if the Company or
the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Security without service charge, a new Registered Security or Securities
of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered. If a Security in global form is so surrendered,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to
the Depository for such Security in global form as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a
new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form 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 that by its terms provides for such a
sinking fund, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this
Indenture or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.



75









 





     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 Securities of such series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series and this Indenture.



     Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities.



     The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the
terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series
(other than any of such Securities previously called for redemption or any of
such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the
Company), 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 which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company
pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application
of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee
at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities
of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202, the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company
Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent
and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from
time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held
by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee
of Securities of that series purchased by the Company having an unpaid
principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be released to the
Company.



     Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.



     Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company shall 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, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of
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 credited and not
theretofore delivered. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional
amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment,
the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.
Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such



76









 




sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon
the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.




ARTICLE THIRTEEN




Repayment at the Option of Holders




     Section 1301. Applicability of Article.



     Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders
thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the
terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of any principal amount
of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require repayment of
Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option,
shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such
Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 1301, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company
may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more
investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to
the Holders of such Securities on or before the applicable repayment date an
amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of
such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price
of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment
is so paid by such purchasers.



     Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture or pursuant to Section
301 with respect to the Securities of any series or unless the context
otherwise requires, all references in this Indenture to the repayment of
Securities at the option of the Holders thereof (and all references of like
import) shall be deemed to include a reference to the repurchase of Securities
at the option of the Holders thereof.



ARTICLE FOURTEEN




Securities in Foreign Currencies




     Section 1401. Applicability of Article.



     Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the
determination of any of the rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in
which not all of such Securities are denominated in the same Currency or (ii)
any distribution to Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of
such Securities are denominated in the same Currency, in the absence of any
provision to the contrary in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of
such series, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Currency
other than Dollars shall be treated for any such action, determination or
distribution as that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount
on such reasonable basis of exchange and as of the record date with respect to
Registered Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination or
distribution (or, if



77









 




there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably
proximate to the date of such distribution) as the Company may specify in a
written notice to the Trustee or, in the absence of such written notice, as the
Trustee may determine.

shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in general
terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given, in the

Securities of any series shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of
the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section
1501, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed
to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of or
made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after
receipt of such request (whichever shall be required pursuant to Section 106)

duly reconvened meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided,
however, that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to a

Holders of at least 66-2/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of a series, the Persons entitled to vote 66-2/3% in principal amount of the

absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such

further, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution

waiver or other Act which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given
or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a

specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such

     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of

     Section 1505. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment
of Meetings.



     (1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting
of Holders of Securities of such series in regard to proof of the holding of
Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to
the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote,
and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem
appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or 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. Such
regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on
their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in
Section 104 or other proof.



     (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
Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section 1502(2), in which
case the Company or the Holders of Securities of 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 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. If
the Securities of such series are issuable in minimum denominations of less
than $1,000, then a Holder of such a Security in a principal amount of less
than $1,000 shall be entitled to a fraction of one vote which is equal to the
fraction that the principal amount of such Security bears to $1,000. 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



80









 




secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of
all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, 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
facts 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 Company, 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.

which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
