    In
      any
      case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
      opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters
      be
      certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
      be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
      or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
      Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
      as to such matters in one or several documents.

     

    Any
      certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company or a Subsidiary Guarantor
      may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or
      opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in
      the
      exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
      representations with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or
      opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel
      may
      be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or
      opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company or
      such
      Subsidiary Guarantor stating that the information with respect to such factual
      matters is in the possession of the Company or such Subsidiary Guarantor, unless
      such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that
      the
      certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
      erroneous.

     

    Where
      any
      Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
      consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this
      Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and form one
      instrument.

              Acts
                of Holders; Record Dates.

            


    

     

    Whenever
      in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage
      in
      aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take
      action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any
      direction, notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action) the
      fact
      that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified
      percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any
      number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by
      agent
      or proxy appointed in writing, (b) by the record of the Holders voting in favor
      thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with
      procedures approved by the Trustee, (c) by a combination of such instrument
      or
      instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders or (d) in the
      case
      of Securities evidenced by a Global Security, by any electronic transmission
      or
      other message, whether or not in written format, that complies with the
      Depositary's applicable procedures. Such evidence (and the action embodied
      therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act"
      of
      the relevant Holders. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
      appointing any such agent or proxy shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
      Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
      the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

    The
      fact
      and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may
      be
      proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate
      of a
      notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of
      deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
      acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer
      acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
      affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact
      and
      date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of
      the
      Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the
      Trustee deems sufficient.

     

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

     

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

     

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

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

     

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

     

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

      prepaid, in the case of the Company addressed to it 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

    Where
      this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall
      be
      sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
      and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event,
      at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest
      date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed
      for
      the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by
      mail,
      neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
      to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
      respect to other Holders. 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 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.

     

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

      value
      received, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors named (or deemed herein to be named)
      below hereby jointly and severally fully and unconditionally guarantees to
      the
      Holder of the Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed, and
      to
      the Trustee on behalf of such Holder, the due and punctual payment of the
      principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security when and as
      the
      same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by

      rights of the Trustee under Section 607. In case of the failure of the Company
      punctually to make any such payment, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
      jointly and severally agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when
      and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity
      or
      by acceleration, call for redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise, and as
      if
      such payment were made by the Company.

      and
      shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of such
      Security or the Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or
      any
      release, amendment, waiver or indulgence granted to the Company or any other
      guarantor, or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other
      guarantee of all or of any of the Securities of this series, or any other
      circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
      or
      defense of a surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding
      the
      foregoing, no such release, amendment, waiver or indulgence shall, without
      the
      consent of such Subsidiary Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such
      Security, or increase the interest rate thereon, or alter the Stated Maturity
      thereof. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of
      diligence, presentment, demand of payment, any requirement that the Trustee
      or
      any of the Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest
      in
      or other lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take
      any
      action against the Company or any other Person or any collateral, filing of
      claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company,
      any
      right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice
      with
      respect to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
      whatsoever, and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged
      except by complete performance of the obligations contained in such Security
      and
      in this Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary Guarantor agrees that if, after
      the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect
      to
      Securities of this series, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented
      by
      applicable law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the
      maturity of the Securities of this series, to collect interest on the Securities
      of this series, or to enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect
      to the Securities of this series, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to pay to
      the
      Trustee for the account of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that
      would otherwise have been due and payable had such rights and remedies been
      permitted to be exercised by the Trustee or any of the Holders.

     

    No
      reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Subsidiary Guarantee
      or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the Subsidiary Guarantee of any
      Subsidiary Guarantor, which is absolute and unconditional, of the due and
      punctual payment of the principal (and premium, if any) and interest on the
      Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed.

     

    Each
      Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of this
      Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary
      Guarantor on account of this Security pursuant to the provisions of its
      Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture; provided, however, that such Subsidiary
      Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce or to receive any payments arising
      out of, or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of (and
      premium, if any) and interest on this Security and all other Securities of
      this
      series issued under the Indenture shall have been paid in full.

    This
      Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
      be
      effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation
      or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment
      for
      the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all
      or
      any part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted
      by
      law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
      time payment and performance of the Securities of this series is, pursuant
      to
      applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored
      or
      returned by any Holder of the Securities of this series, whether as a "voidable
      preference," "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment
      or
      performance had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part
      thereof, is rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities of this
      series shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed
      reduced only by such amount paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or
      returned.

     

    The
      Subsidiary Guarantors or any particular Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released
      from this Subsidiary Guarantee upon the terms and subject to certain conditions
      provided in the Indenture.

     

    By
      delivery to the Trustee of a supplement to the Indenture referred to in the
      Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed in accordance with
      the
      terms of the Indenture, each Person that becomes a Subsidiary Guarantor after
      the date of first issuance of the Securities of this series will be deemed
      to
      have executed and delivered this Subsidiary Guarantee for the benefit of the
      Holder of the Security upon which this Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed with
      the
      same effect as if such Subsidiary Guarantor was named below and has executed
      and
      delivered this Subsidiary Guarantee.

     

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

     

    This
      Subsidiary Guarantee shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose until
      the
      certificate of authentication on the Security upon which this Subsidiary
      Guarantee is endorsed shall have been executed by the Trustee under the
      Indenture by manual signature.

     

    Reference
      is made to the Indenture for further provisions with respect to this Subsidiary
      Guarantee.

     

    This
      Subsidiary Guarantee shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
      the
      laws of the State of New York.

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

    The
      Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
      Board of Directors, its Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, its President
      or one of its Vice Presidents. If its corporate seal is reproduced thereon,
      then
      it shall be attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.
      The
      signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
      facsimile.

    Securities
      bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time
      the proper officers of the Company shall 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.

     

    At
      any
      time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
      the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company and,
      if
      applicable, having endorsed thereon the Subsidiary Guarantees executed as
      provided in Section 1303 by the Subsidiary Guarantors to the Trustee for
      authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
      delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
      Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms
      of
      the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or
      more
      Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
      Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
      in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
      (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
      of
      Counsel stating,

     

    (1) if
      the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board
      Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established
      in
      conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     

    (2) if
      the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board
      Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established
      in
      conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

     

    (3) that
      such Securities, when 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 legally binding obligations of
      the
      Company, and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon will
      constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors,
      enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
      fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
      applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
      principles.

     

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

     

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

    Each
      Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     

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

                Securities.

            


    

     

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

     

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

    The
      Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee
      a
      register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
      agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes collectively
      referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable
      regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
      of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed
      "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers
      of
      Securities as herein provided.

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

     

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

     

    All
      Securities and, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantees endorsed thereon issued
      upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
      obligations of the Company and, if applicable, the respective Subsidiary
      Guarantors, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under
      this Indenture, as the Securities and Subsidiaries Guarantees surrendered upon
      such registration of transfer or exchange.

     

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

     

    No
      service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
      Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
      any
      tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
      registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
      pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or otherwise not involving any
      transfer.

     

    If
      the
      Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be
      redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
      the
      transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and
      specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening
      of
      business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
      any
      such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the
      close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer
      of
      or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
      the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

     

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

     

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

    (2) Notwithstanding
      any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged
      in
      whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security
      in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than
      the
      Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such
      Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
      continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a
      clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the
      Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary within 90 days, (B) there shall
      have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
      Security and the Depositary shall have notified the Trustee of its decision
      to
      exchange such Global Security for Securities in certificated form or (C) there
      shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
      foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section
      301.

     

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

     

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

    If
      any
      mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute,
      if
      applicable the Subsidiary Guarantors shall execute the Subsidiary Guarantees
      endorsed thereon and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
      therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
      amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     

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

      to
      become due and payable or is to be converted, the Company in its discretion
      may,
      instead of issuing a new Security, pay or authorize the conversion of such
      Security (without surrender thereof save in the case of a mutilated
      Security).

     

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

     

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

      interest.

     

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

      Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any
      series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
      any
      securities exchange on which such Securities 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 manner of
      payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

     

    Subject
      to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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.

    (2) the
      Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
      of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
      proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee

    (3) such
      Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity

      risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance
      of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or
      powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of
      such
      funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
      assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every provision
      of
      this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or
      affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this

      in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(5) with
      respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
      until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
      Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
      of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities
      of
      such series.

    (2) any
      request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
      evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order, and any resolution of the
      Board
      of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

      that
      a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
      action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
      prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers'
      Certificate;

     

    (4) the
      Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or
      any
      Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection

      and in reliance thereon;

      Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
      vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders
      pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
      Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
      liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
      direction;

     

    (6) the
      Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
      stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
      evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
      discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
      or
      matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
      further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
      records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;
      and

     

    (7) the
      Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
      hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
      shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any

      Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor jointly and severally agree

     

    (1) to
      pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services

    (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 its negligence or bad faith; and

     

    (3) to
      indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability
      or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out
      of
      or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
      hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any
      claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of
      its
      powers or duties hereunder.

      the
      Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the

      to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions
      of,
      the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such
      Act,

      being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than
      one

      to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such, and has a combined capital and
      surplus of at least $50,000,000. If any such Person publishes reports of
      condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its
      supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section and
      to
      the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and
      surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
      as
      set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
      the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be
      eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
      immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this

    No
      resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
      pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
      appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
      requirements of Section 611.

     

    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 611 shall not have been
      delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
      resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
      jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
      Securities of such series.

     

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

     

    If
      at any
      time:

     

    (1) the
      Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor
      by
      the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
      for
      at least six months, or

     

    (2) the
      Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign
      after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
      or

     

    (3) 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, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
      with
      respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has
      been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf
      of
      himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
      jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities
      and
      the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

     

    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 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 611. 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 611, 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 and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611,
      any
      Holder 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.

    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 to all Holders of
      Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice
      shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
      of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

    In
      case
      of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
      Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
      and deliver to the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and to the retiring

      or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
      Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
      all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on
      the
      request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,
      upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
      to
      such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee
      and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all
      property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

     

    In

      of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the

      the
      Securities of one or more series 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, each successor Trustee all the
      rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
      Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
      Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to

      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 and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of
      a
      trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
      administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery
      of
      such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
      shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
      Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with

      Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
      successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder
      with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
      of such successor Trustee relates.

    The
      Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or
      more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
      Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue
      and
      upon exchange, registration of transfer, conversion or partial redemption
      thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be
      entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and 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. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
      acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a Person organized and
      doing
      business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
      or
      the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
      Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
      subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
      Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
      to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
      for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
      Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus
      as
      set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
      an
      Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
      provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
      in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

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

     

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

     

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

    The
      Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that
      it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest
      on
      the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities

              Maintenance
                of Office or Agency.

            


    

     

    The
      Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities
      an
      office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered
      for payment or, if applicable, for conversion, where Securities of that series
      may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices
      and demands to or upon the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor in respect of
      the
      Securities of that series or any Subsidiary Guarantee and this Indenture may
      be
      served. 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, and the Company and each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby
      appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
      notices and demands.

     

    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 will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
      or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
      agency.

    If
      the
      Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor shall at any time act as its own Paying
      Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each
      due
      date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any of the Securities
      of
      that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
      thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest
      so
      becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed
      of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or
      failure so to act.

     

    Whenever
      the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities,
      it will, prior to 11:00 A.M., New York City time, on each due date of the
      principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series,
      deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to
      be
      held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, 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 will 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 will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust
      Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance
      of any default by the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantors, if applicable, or
      any
      other obligor upon the Securities of that series in the making of any payment
      in
      respect of the Securities of that series, upon the written request of the
      Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying
      Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.

    The

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

     

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

    The
      election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board

      such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
      less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption
      affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least five Business
      Days prior to giving notice of such redemption (unless a shorter notice shall
      be
      satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of
      the
      principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable,
      of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption
      of
      Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
      provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
      Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing

    If
      less
      than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the
      Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless
      such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities
      to be
      redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities
      of
      such series not previously called for redemption, (i) in compliance with the
      requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which such
      Securities are listed, if such Securities are listed on any national securities
      exchange, and (ii) if such Securities are not so listed, on a pro rata basis,
      by
      lot or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate
      and
      which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal
      amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion
      of
      the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination
      (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such
      Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified
      tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single
      Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the
      Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor
      not
      previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding
      sentence.

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

     

    The
      provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to
      any
      redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be
      redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the
      unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
      authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
      denomination) for such Security.

     

    For
      all
      purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
      provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case
      of
      any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
      principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed. If
      any
      Security selected for partial redemption is surrendered for conversion after
      such selection, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so
      far
      as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Upon any redemption of
      less than all the Securities of a series, for purposes of selection for
      redemption the Company and the Trustee may treat as Outstanding Securities
      surrendered for conversion during the period of 15 days next preceding the
      mailing of a notice of redemption, and need not treat as Outstanding any
      Security authenticated and delivered during such period in exchange for the
      unconverted portion of any Security converted in part during such
      period.

      given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name

      called for redemption is converted pursuant hereto, any money deposited with

      Trustee or any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the
      redemption of such Security shall be paid to the Company upon delivery of a
      Company Request to the Trustee or such Paying Agent, or, if then held by the
      Company, shall be discharged from such trust.

    Prior
      to

      of
      redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
      shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
      therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
      default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such
      Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
      for
      redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
      Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
      Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified as
      contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity
      is
      on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such

      Security.

    Subject
      to Section 1301, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby, jointly and severally, fully
      and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and
      delivered by the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of
      (and
      premium, if any) and interest on such Security when and as the same shall become
      due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity, by acceleration, call for
      redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of
      such
      Security and of this Indenture, and each Subsidiary Guarantor similarly
      guarantees to the Trustee the payment of all amounts owing to the Trustee in
      accordance with the terms of this Indenture. In case of the failure of the
      Company punctually to make any such payment, each Subsidiary Guarantor hereby,
      jointly and severally, agrees to cause such payment to be made punctually when
      and as the same shall become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity
      or
      by acceleration, call for redemption, offer to purchase or otherwise, and as
      if
      such payment were made by the Company.

    Each
      of
      the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby jointly and severally agrees that its
      obligations hereunder shall be absolute, unconditional, irrespective of, and
      shall be unaffected by, the validity, regularity or enforceability of such
      Security or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the same or
      any
      release, amendment, waiver or indulgence granted to the Company or any guarantor
      or any consent to departure from any requirement of any other guarantee of
      all
      or any of the Securities of such series or any other circumstances which might
      otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a surety
      or
      guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such
      release, amendment, waiver or indulgence shall, without the consent of such
      Subsidiary Guarantor, increase the principal amount of such Security, or
      increase the interest rate thereon, or alter the Stated Maturity thereof. Each
      of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby waives the benefits of diligence,
      presentment, demand for payment, any requirement that the Trustee or any of
      the
      Holders protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest in or other
      lien on any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
      against the Company or any other Person or any collateral, filing of claims
      with
      a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Company, any right
      to
      require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect
      to such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands
      whatsoever, and covenants that this Subsidiary Guarantee will not be discharged
      in respect of such Security except by complete performance of the obligations
      contained in such Security and in such Subsidiary Guarantee. Each Subsidiary
      Guarantor agrees that if, after the occurrence and during the continuance of
      an
      Event of Default, the Trustee or any of the Holders are prevented by applicable
      law from exercising their respective rights to accelerate the maturity of the
      Securities of a series, to collect interest on the Securities of a series,
      or to
      enforce or exercise any other right or remedy with respect to the Securities
      of
      a series, such Subsidiary Guarantor agrees to pay to the Trustee for the account
      of the Holders, upon demand therefor, the amount that would otherwise have
      been
      due and payable had such rights and remedies been permitted to be exercised
      by
      the Trustee or any of the Holders.

     

    Each
      Subsidiary Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holders of the
      Securities upon which its Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed against the Company
      in respect of any amounts paid by such Subsidiary Guarantor on account of such
      Security pursuant to the provisions of its Subsidiary Guarantee or this
      Indenture; provided, however, that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled
      to
      enforce or to receive any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right
      of
      subrogation until the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all
      Securities of the relevant series issued hereunder shall have been paid in
      full.

     

    Each
      Subsidiary Guarantor that makes or is required to make any payment in respect
      of
      its Subsidiary Guarantee shall be entitled to seek contribution from the other
      Subsidiary Guarantors to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided,
      however, that no Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled to enforce or receive
      any payments arising out of, or based upon, such right of contribution until
      the
      principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all Securities of the
      relevant series issued hereunder shall have been paid in full.

     

    Each
      Subsidiary Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect and continue to
      be
      effective should any petition be filed by or against the Company for liquidation
      or reorganization, should the Company become insolvent or make an assignment
      for
      the benefit of creditors or should a receiver or trustee be appointed for all
      or
      any part of the Company's assets, and shall, to the fullest extent permitted
      by
      law, continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any
      time payment and performance of the Securities of a series, is, pursuant to
      applicable law, rescinded or reduced in amount, or must otherwise be restored
      or
      returned by any Holder of the Securities, whether as a "voidable preference,"
      "fraudulent transfer," or otherwise, all as though such payment or performance
      had not been made. In the event that any payment, or any part thereof, is
      rescinded, reduced, restored or returned, the Securities shall, to the fullest
      extent permitted by law, be reinstated and deemed reduced only by such amount
      paid and not so rescinded, reduced, restored or returned.

    The
      Subsidiary Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities shall include the terms
      of the Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section 1302 and any other terms that
      may be set forth in the form established pursuant to Section 204. Subject to
      Section 1301, each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby agrees to execute its
      Subsidiary Guarantee, in a form established pursuant to Section 204, to be
      endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the
      Trustee.

     

    The
      Subsidiary Guarantee shall be executed on behalf of each respective Subsidiary
      Guarantor by any one of such Subsidiary Guarantor's Chairman of the Board of
      Directors, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer,
      President, one of its Vice Presidents, or its Secretary. The signature of any
      or
      all of these persons on the Subsidiary Guarantee may be manual or
      facsimile.

     

    A
      Subsidiary Guarantee bearing the manual or facsimile signature of individuals
      who were at any time the proper officers of a Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind
      such Subsidiary Guarantor, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
      them
      have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of
      the
      Security on which such Subsidiary Guarantee is endorsed or did not hold such
      offices at the date of such Subsidiary Guarantee.

     

    The
      delivery of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof
      hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of the Subsidiary Guarantee endorsed
      thereon on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantors and shall bind each Subsidiary
      Guarantor notwithstanding the fact that Subsidiary Guarantee does not bear
      the
      signature of such Subsidiary Guarantor. Each of the Subsidiary Guarantors hereby
      jointly and severally agrees that its Subsidiary Guarantee set forth in Section
      1302 and in the form of Subsidiary Guarantee established pursuant to Section
      204
      shall remain in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse
      a
      Subsidiary Guarantee on any Security.

    Unless
      otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of
      Securities, each Subsidiary Guarantee will remain in effect with respect to
      the
      respective Subsidiary Guarantor until the entire principal of, premium, if

      with

      to
      the Trustee hereunder have been paid; provided, however, that if (i) such
      Subsidiary Guarantor ceases to be a Subsidiary in compliance with the applicable
      provisions of this Indenture, (ii) either Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
      occurs with respect to such Securities pursuant to Article Fifteen or (iii)

      Capital Stock of such Subsidiary Guarantor is sold (including by sale, merger,

      complying with the requirements of this Indenture, then, in each case of (i),
      (ii) or (iii), upon delivery by the Company of an Officers' Certificate and
      an
      Opinion of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for
      relating to the release of such Subsidiary Guarantor from its obligations under
      its Subsidiary Guarantee and this Article Thirteen have been complied with,
      such
      Subsidiary Guarantor shall be released and discharged of its obligations under
      its Subsidiary Guarantee and under this Article Thirteen without any action
      on

      documents reasonably required in order to acknowledge the release of such

      otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of
      Securities, the Company will cause any domestic Subsidiary of the Company that
      becomes a Subsidiary after the date the Securities of a series are first issued
      hereunder to become a Subsidiary Guarantor as soon as practicable after such
      Subsidiary becomes a Subsidiary. The Company shall cause any such Subsidiary
      to
      become a Subsidiary Guarantor with respect to the Securities by executing and
      delivering to the Trustee (a) a supplemental indenture, in form and substance
      satisfactory to the Trustee, which subjects such Person to the provisions
      (including the representations and warranties) of this Indenture as a Subsidiary
      Guarantor and (b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such supplemental
      indenture has been duly authorized and executed by such Person and such
      supplemental indenture and such Person's obligations under its Subsidiary
      Guarantee and this Indenture constitute the legal, valid, binding and

      without rendering such Subsidiary Guarantee voidable under applicable law
      relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or similar laws
      affecting the rights of creditors generally.

    Upon
      the
      Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
      Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall
      be
      deemed to have been discharged from its obligations, and each Subsidiary
      Guarantor shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with
      respect to its Subsidiary Guarantees of such Securities, as provided in this
      Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1504 are
      satisfied (herein called "Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Defeasance means
      that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
      indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other
      obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
      are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
      proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which
      shall

      of
      Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described
      in
      Section 1504 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect
      of
      the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments
      are due, or, if applicable, to convert such Securities in accordance with their
      terms, (2) the Company's and each Subsidiary Guarantor's obligations with
      respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, and,
      if
      applicable, their obligations with respect to the conversion of such Securities,
      (3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder

      may
      exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities
      notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1503
      applied to such Securities.

    Upon
      the
      Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
      Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company
      shall be released from its obligations under Section 801(3), Sections 1005
      through 1008, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Section 301(21),
      901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, and (2)
      the
      occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(5) (with respect to any of
      Section 801(3), Sections 1006 through 1008, inclusive, and any such covenants
      provided pursuant to Section 301(21), 901(2) or 901(7)), 501(6), 501(7)),
      501(10) and 501(11) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default
      and (3) the provisions of Article Thirteen shall cease to be effective, in
      each
      case with respect to such Securities and Subsidiary Guarantees as provided
      in
      this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1504
      are
      satisfied (herein called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
      Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company and the
      Subsidiary Guarantors, as applicable, may omit to comply with and shall have
      no
      liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
      such
      specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 501(5))
      or
      Article Thirteen, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
      elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any reference
      in
      any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other
      document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be
      unaffected thereby.

              SECTION
                1504.

            	
              Conditions
                to Defeasance or Covenant
                Defeasance.

            


    

     

    The
      following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1502 or Section
      1503 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may
      be:

     

    (1) The
      Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
      Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
      Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable
      to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
      specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits
      of
      the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government
      Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
      respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than
      one
      day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination
      thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
      firm
      of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
      delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied
      by
      the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the
      principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective
      Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
      Securities. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation" means (x) any security
      which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment
      of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged
      or
      (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an
      agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which
      is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the
      United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable
      or
      redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt
      issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as
      custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified
      in
      clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such
      depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of
      or
      interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so specified and held,
      provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized
      to
      make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such depositary
      receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S.
      Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced
      by such depositary receipt.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        66

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (2) In
      the event of an election to have Section 1502 apply to any Securities or any
      series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered
      to
      the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received
      from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling
      or
      (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable
      Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based
      thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Securities will
      not
      recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the
      deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities
      and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner
      and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and
      discharge were not to occur.

     

    (3) In
      the event of an election to have Section 1503 apply to any Securities or any
      series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered
      to
      the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such
      Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes
      as a
      result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to
      such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount,
      in
      the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit
      and
      Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

     

    (4) The
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the
      effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series,
      if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of
      such
      deposit.

     

    (5) No
      event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
      of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have
      occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any
      such event specified in Sections 501(7) and (8), at any time on or prior to
      the
      121st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
      condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 121st
      day).

     

    (6) Such
      Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
      conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming
      all
      Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

     

    (7) Such
      Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation
      of,
      or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the
      Company or any Subsidiary is a party or by which it is bound.

     

    (8) The
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
      that such deposit shall not cause either the Trustee or the trust so created
      to
      be subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940.

     

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

              Deposited
                Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
                Provisions.

            


    

     

    Subject
      to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S.
      Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
      Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and
      Section 1506, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
      collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1504 in respect of any
      Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance
      with
      the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
      directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as
      its
      own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
      Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
      and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated
      from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

     

    The
      Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
      imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited
      pursuant to Section 1504 or the principal and interest received in respect
      thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
      account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

     

    Anything
      in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
      or
      pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S.
      Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1504 with respect
      to
      any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
      independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
      delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
      be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance,
      as
      the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
                1506.

            	
              Reinstatement.

            


    

     

    If
      the
      Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with
      this
      Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of
      any
      court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
      such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities
      from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section
      1502
      or 1503 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
      pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as
      the
      Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant
      to Section 1505 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article;
      provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or
      any
      premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its
      obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the
      Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in
      trust.

                1601.

            	
              Applicability
                of Article.

            


    

     

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

     

    The
      minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any
      Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and
      any
      payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such
      Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If
      provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking
      fund
      payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1602. Each sinking
      fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for
      by
      the terms of such Securities.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
                1602.

            	
              Satisfaction
                of Sinking Fund Payments with
                Securities.

            


    

     

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

     

    
      	
              SECTION
                1603.

            	
              Redemption
                of Securities for Sinking Fund.

            


    

     

    Not
      less
      than 35 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the
      Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the
      amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant
      to
      the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
      satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
      satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1602 and
      will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less
      than 32 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall
      select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in
      the
      manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof
      to
      be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
      in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
      Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
      1106 and 1107.

    This
      instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so
      executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
      together constitute but one and the same instrument.
