case of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or
request, no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.




     Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided
for in this Indenture (including certificates delivered pursuant to Section 1008) shall include:



     (1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such

     SECTION 104. Acts of Holders.



          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all
series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly
appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be
embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor
thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of
Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance






9









 







with the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record.
Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such
instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the
Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person
of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided
in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner
provided in Section 1506.




          (b) 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 reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.




          (c) The ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register. As to any
matter relating to beneficial ownership interests in any Global Security, the appropriate
depository’s records shall be dispositive for purposes of this Indenture.




          (d) The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer
Securities or by a certificate executed, as depository, by any trust company, bank, banker or other
depository, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such
certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company
may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or
affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2)
such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security
is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer
Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.




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







10









 








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








     SECTION 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,



     (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at [                     ] or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Company by the Trustee, Attention: [                    ]; or



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



     (3) either the Trustee or the Company, by the other party or by any Holder, shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if given by facsimile transmission, receipt confirmed by
telephone followed by an original copy delivered by guaranteed overnight courier; if to the Trustee
at facsimile number [                    ]; and if to the Company at facsimile number [                     ].







     SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice of
any event to Holders of Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such event, at 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 of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to
Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner
herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not
such Holder actually receives such notice.



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



     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized
Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest date, if any, and
not earlier than the earliest date, if any, prescribed for the giving of such notice. Any such
notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such publication or, if published more
than once, on the date of the first such publication.



     If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized
Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to
Holders of Bearer Securities as provided



11









 




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




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



     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.








     SECTION 107. Counterparts; Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. This Indenture
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 Indenture. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall
not affect the construction hereof.








     SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by
the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.







     SECTION 109. Severability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in any
Security or coupon shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and
enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.







     SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities or
coupons, if any, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any
Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their successors hereunder and
the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.







     SECTION 111. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Indenture is
subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and shall, to
the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.







     SECTION 112. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security or the
last date on which a Holder has the right to convert or exchange a Security shall not be a Business
Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any
Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states
that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or conversion or exchange of such Security need not be made at such
Place of Payment on such date, but (except as otherwise provided in the supplemental indenture with
respect to such Security) may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment
with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment
Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, or on such last day for
conversion or exchange, provided that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the
period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund
payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.







     SECTION 113. Limited Liability; Immunity of Stockholders, Directors, Officers and Agents
of the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities of
any series to the contrary, no recourse



12









 




under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in any Security,
or for the payment of any sums due on account of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, including
without limitation principal, premium or interest, if any, or for any claim based on this Indenture
or any Security or otherwise in respect of this Indenture or any Security, shall be had, whether by
levy or execution or otherwise, against (i) the Company, the Company’s assets or against any past,
present or future stockholder, employee, officer, director or agent, as such, of the Company or any
successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute,
constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty, or by any legal or
equitable proceeding or otherwise, nor shall any such parties be personally liable for any such
amounts, obligations or claims, or liable for any deficiency judgment based thereon or with respect
thereto, it being expressly understood that the sole remedies hereunder or under any other document
with respect to the Securities against such parties with respect to such amounts, obligations or
claims shall be against the Company and that all such liability of and recourse against such
parties is expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.








     SECTION 114. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is required or deemed to be included in
this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.







ARTICLE TWO — SECURITIES FORMS








     SECTION 201. Forms of Securities. The Registered Securities, if any, of each series
and the Bearer Securities, if any, of each series and related coupons shall be substantially in the
form of Exhibit A hereto or in such other form as shall be established in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution
in accordance with Section 301, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental
hereto, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such
legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may deem appropriate and as are not
inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or
with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any
over-the-counter market or securities exchange, on which the Securities may be quoted or listed, or
to conform to usage.



     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities shall have
interest coupons attached.



     The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed or engraved or produced
by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved border or steel engraved borders or
mechanically reproduced on safety paper or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined
by the officers executing such Securities or coupons, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities or coupons.







     SECTION 202. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. Subject to Section 611,
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:



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

	Dated: _________________________________	By:  	 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	Authorized Signatory 	 
	 








     SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form. If Securities of or within a series
are issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Global Security or Securities may provide
that it or they shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series
(or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon and
may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented
thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of
any Global Security to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in
the rights of Holders thereof, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made (or
caused to be made) by the Trustee in such manner or by such Person or Persons as shall be specified
therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304.
Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver
and redeliver any Global Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions
given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order. If a Company
Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by
the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Global Security shall be in
writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.



     The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security represented by
a Global Security if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company
delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the
reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written
statement contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, and interest on
any Global Security in permanent global form shall be made to the registered Holder thereof.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as the
Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a permanent Global
Security (i) in the case of a permanent Global Security in registered form, the Holder of such
permanent Global Security in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent Global Security in
bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.



     Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially
the following form:



     “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning set forth in the Indenture hereinafter
referred to and is registered in the name of a Depository or a nominee of a Depository. This
Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a person other than the
Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not
be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee
of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or
its nominee to a successor Depository or its nominee.”



14

payable, if otherwise than upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto as
they severally mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a
temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date will be paid if other than in the manner

undue administrative burden or risk of liability);



     (21) The applicability, if any, of the Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance provisions of
Article Fourteen hereof to the Securities of the series;



     (22) The obligation, if any, of the Company to permit the conversion of the Securities of such
series into Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as the case may be, and the terms and conditions upon
which such conversion shall be effected (including, without limitation, the initial conversion
price or rate, the conversion period, any adjustment of the applicable conversion price and any
requirements relative to the reservation of such shares for purposes of conversion);



     (23) If the Securities of such series are to be issuable in definitive form (whether upon
original issue or upon exchange of a temporary Security of such series) only upon receipt of
certain certificates or other documents or satisfaction of other conditions, then the form and/or
terms of such certificates, documents or conditions;



     (24) Designation of the Trustee, if different from the Trustee under the Indenture, with
respect to such series and the terms applicable to such Trustee (which shall be accepted by such
Trustee by its execution and delivery of a supplemental indenture as provided therein); and



     (25) Any other terms of the series (which terms shall not be inconsistent with the provisions
of this Indenture).



     All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of such
series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution
(subject to Section 303) and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto. All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and,
unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for
issuances of additional Securities of such series.



     If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken pursuant
to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of such action(s) shall be
certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at
or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the Securities of
such series.







     SECTION 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of
any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Securities of such series, other than Global Securities (which may be
of any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof or the equivalent amounts thereof in the case of Securities denominated in the Foreign
Currency or currency unit.







     SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, or one of its Vice Presidents, under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual



17









 




or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and may be imprinted
or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.




     Securities and coupons 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 or coupons.



     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupon appertaining thereto,
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities (accompanied by a copy of the Board Resolution and
the Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture contemplated by Section 301), and the Trustee
in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities;
provided, however, that, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer
Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and
provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of
Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished
a certificate to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit
B-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as may be specified by the Company with respect
to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any temporary
Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such
temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be represented by a permanent Global
Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s
interest therein upon original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a
temporary Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with its original issuance
of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security. Except as permitted by
Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer Security unless all
appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled.



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



     (i) an Opinion of Counsel stating that



     (a) the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;



     (b) the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture; and



     (c) such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed by
appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication
in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with
this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,



18









 




insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable
principles; and




     (ii) an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this
Indenture relating to the issuance of the Securities have been complied with and that, to the best
of the knowledge of the signers of such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any
of the Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.



     If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities (or to enter into the related supplemental indenture, if applicable)
if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all the
Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an
Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or a Company Order, or an Opinion
of Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the preceding paragraph at
the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates,
with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of such series.



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



     No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon
appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly
executed by the Trustee (subject to Section 611) by manual signature of an authorized signatory,
and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security (including a Global 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
together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by
the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture.







     SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.



          (a) 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 in lieu of which they are
issued, in registered form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without
coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in
global form.




     Except in the case of temporary Global Securities (which shall be exchanged as otherwise
provided herein or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture pursuant to Section 301), 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,



19









 




without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series (accompanied by any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company
shall execute (in accordance with a Company Order delivered at or prior to the authentication of
the first definitive security to such series) and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized
denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further
that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security
only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.




          (b) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
pursuant to Section 301, the following provisions of this Section 304(b) shall govern the exchange
of temporary Securities other than through the facilities of the DTC. If any such temporary
Security is issued in global form, then such temporary Global Security shall, unless otherwise
provided therein, be delivered to the London office of a depository or common depository upon and
pursuant to written direction of the Company (the “Common Depository”), for the benefit of
Euroclear and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such
Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).




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



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



20









 




delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or Clearstream.
Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary
Global Security shall be delivered only to an address located outside the United States.




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



     With respect to Exhibit B-1 or B-2 to this Indenture, the Company may, in its discretion and
if required or desirable under applicable law, substitute one or more other forms of such exhibits
for such exhibits, eliminate the requirement that any or all certificate be provided, or change the
time that any certificate may be required, provided that such substitute form or
forms or notice of elimination or change of such certification requirement have theretofore been
delivered to the Trustee with a Company Request and such form or forms, elimination or change is
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.







     SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer, Conversion and Exchange. The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the registers
maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to
such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in
written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers of Registered
Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease
to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine, and be provided a copy of, the
Security Register at all reasonable times.



     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of transfer of
any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate



21









 




principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing identical
terms and provisions.




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



     If (but only if) permitted by the applicable Board Resolution and (subject to Section 303) set
forth in the applicable Officers’ Certificate, or in any indenture supplemental hereto, delivered
as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be
exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged
at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto
appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or
coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the
Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company (or to the Trustee
for the Security in case of matured coupons in default) in an amount equal to the face amount of
such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by
the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may
require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such
Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a
payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment;
provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an
office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer
Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or
agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency
on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case
may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will
be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, any permanent Global Security shall be exchangeable only as provided in this
paragraph. If the depository for any permanent Global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of
such Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for
definitive Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a
nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such Global Security
selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depository for the applicable
Global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Exchange Act if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depository with respect to such Global Security or
Securities. If (w) a successor depository for such Global Security or Securities is not appointed
by the Company within 90 days




22











 




after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or
ineligibility, (x) the Company delivers to the Trustee for Securities of such series in registered
form a Company Order stating that the Securities of such series shall be exchangeable, (y) an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in
principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such Global Security or
Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depository for such Global Security or Securities or (z)
the Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but
not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more Global Securities
shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities, then the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities of like series, rank,
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such Global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global
Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like
tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent
Global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later
than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global
Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent
Global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depository as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such
purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and
ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among
those selected for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent Global Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for
any portion of a permanent Global Security after the close of business at the office or agency
where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at
such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and
the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such
Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for
payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such
permanent Global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.




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



     Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
conversion, exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar)
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 to the Holder for any registration of transfer or conversion
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
conversion or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or
1305 not involving any transfer.



     The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to
be redeemed under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant



23









 




notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the
first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as
Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected
for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of
that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security
which has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any,
of such Security not to be so repaid.




     Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 305, the Company will not be
required to exchange any Securities if, as a result of the exchange, the Company would suffer
adverse consequences under any United States law or regulation.







     SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated
Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or
the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the
Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same series and principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to the surrendered Security.



     If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless,
then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for
the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons
not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal amount, containing
identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons
corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to
the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to
which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or coupon if the
applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee for such Security such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and in the case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Company and Trustee and any agent of any
of them of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof;
provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any), and interest, if any, on, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section
1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.



     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the 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.



24









 





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



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







     SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Except as otherwise
specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 301,
interest on any Registered Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest payment at the office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any
Registered Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest,
payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to the
address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account
maintained by the payee located inside the United States.



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



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



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



     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the
provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable,
but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may
be paid by the 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 Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such
series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after such notice
is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount



25









 




of money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies
in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301 for the Securities of such series) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the 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 mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security
Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its
discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment, but such publications shall not
be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (2). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a
Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the
close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of
payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of
the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to
the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.




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







     SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security
for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company,
the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. All such payments so made to any such Person, or upon such Person’s order, shall be
valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the
liability for money payable upon any such Security.



     Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery. The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer
Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the
purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and



26









 




neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.




     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a depository
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security and such depository
(which is the Holder of such security) shall be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent
of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.



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







     SECTION 309. Cancellation. All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment,
redemption, repayment at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or conversion or
exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities
and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, upon direction by the
Company, shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for
delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which
the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by
the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall
not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the
Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in accordance with its customary practices (subject to
the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act).







     SECTION 310. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.







     SECTION 311. CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP”
numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee
of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.







ARTICLE FOUR — SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE








     SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall upon
Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of Securities specified in
such Company Request (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or conversion
or exchange of Securities of such series herein expressly



27









 




provided for), and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order, and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute instruments in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series when



(1) either




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



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



     (i) have become due and payable, or



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



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


and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of
such series are payable, sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities
and such coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest to the date of such deposit (in the case of
Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the
case may be;




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



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


Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company to
the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606, the obligations of the Company to any
Authenticating Agent under Section 611 and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee
under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive such satisfaction and
discharge.








     SECTION 402. Application of Trust Funds. Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be
held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons
and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled
thereto, of the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), and any interest for whose
payment



28









 




such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.








ARTICLE FIVE — REMEDIES








     SECTION 501. Events of Default. “Event of Default,” wherever used herein with respect
to any particular series of Securities, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason

has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities
other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after
there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be
remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

     SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing,
then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if Securities of
that Series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such portion of the
principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all the Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the
Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or specified portion thereof shall become
immediately due and payable.



     At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration of acceleration and its consequences if:



     (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay in the
currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):



     (A) all overdue installments of interest on all Outstanding Securities of that series and any
related coupons,



     (B) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Outstanding Securities
of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and
interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,



     (C) to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments
of interest at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and



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



     (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment
of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on Securities of that
series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 513.


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








     SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee. The
Company covenants that if:



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



     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity,


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






30









 







including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel.




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



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







     SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the pendency of any
receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities or the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee
(irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of any series shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee
shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceeding or otherwise:



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



     (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same;


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar
official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities of such
series and coupons to make such payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount
due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee and
any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee under Section 606.




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



     In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the
interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party) the
Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities, and it shall not be necessary
to make any Holders of the Securities parties to any such proceedings.



31









 









     SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or coupons may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or coupons
or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by
the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of
the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.







     SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money collected by the Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as
the case may be, and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:



     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section
606;



     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons for
principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and coupons for
principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, respectively; and



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







     SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of any series or any
related coupon shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with
respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless:



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



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



     (3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such
request;



     (4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity
has failed to institute any such proceeding; and



     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series;


it being understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any
manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.








     SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Security or coupon shall have



32









 




the right which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on such Security or
payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the
case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.








     SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder of a
Security or coupon has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this
Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been
determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, the Company,
the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.







     SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the
last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee
or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in
equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.







     SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of
any Holder of any Security or coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of
Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default
or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.







     SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities. The Holders of not less than a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series, provided that:



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



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



     (3) the Trustee need not take any action if a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee shall in good faith, determine that at the proceeding so directed would involve the
Trustee in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series
not joining therein.



     Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in the good faith discretion
of a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee to take any action deemed, in good
faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of the Trustee, proper and which is not
inconsistent with such direction by Holders.







     SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive any past default hereunder with respect
to such series and its consequences, except a default



33









 





     (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest
on any Security of such series or any related coupons; or



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



     (3) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof for the benefit or protection of the Trustee,
without its express written consent.



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







     SECTION 514. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. The Company covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.







     SECTION 515. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that
such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
expenses, against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
the Redemption Date).







ARTICLE SIX — THE TRUSTEE








     SECTION 601. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default
hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner
and to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however,
that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any sinking or
purchase fund installment with respect to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the
Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any
default or breach of the character specified in Section 501(4) with respect to the Securities and
coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 45 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 the
Securities of such series.







     SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee. Subject to the provisions of TIA Section
315(a) through 315(d):



34









 





     (1) the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document
(whether in its original or facsimile form) reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;



     (2) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any Security, together with any
coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for authentication and delivery pursuant to Section
303 which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;



     (3) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable 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 of its own selection and the written advice of such
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance
thereon;



     (5) the 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 of Securities of any series
or any related coupons 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, coupon 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, relevant to the facts or
matters that are the subject of its inquiry, personally or by agent or attorney;



     (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 agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder;



     (8) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in good
faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers
conferred upon it by this Indenture;



     (9) any permissive right or power available to the Trustee under this Indenture or any
supplement hereto shall not be construed to be a mandatory duty or obligation;



     (10) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any matter (including any default,
other than as described in Section 501(1), (2) or (3)) unless and except to the extent actually
known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or to the extent written notice thereof is received
by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office;



     (11) the Trustee shall have no liability for any inaccuracy in the books and records of, or
for any actions or omissions of, DTC, Euroclear or Clearstream or any depository acting on behalf
of any of them;



     (12) the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be
enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other Person employed by the Trustee to act hereunder; and



35









 





     (13) the Trustee may request that the Company deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such time to take specified
actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person
authorized to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any
such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.



     The Trustee shall not be required to expend or 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.







     SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and in
any coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities or
coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee
nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
Securities or the proceeds thereof. The Trustee shall have no responsibility with respect to any
information, statement or recital in any offering prospectus or other disclosure materials prepared
or distributed with respect to the Securities.







     SECTION 604. May Hold Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA Sections 310(b) and
311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.







     SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under
no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in
writing with the Company.







     SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement. The Company agrees:



     (1) to pay to the Trustee as agreed upon in writing from time to time reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision
of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);



     (2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse each of the Trustee and any
predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, and disbursements incurred by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense
or disbursement as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence, willful
misconduct or bad faith; and



     (3) to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense incurred without negligence, willful
misconduct 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.



     When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and



36









 




the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.




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



     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Indenture and the
resignation or removal of the Trustee.







     SECTION 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests. There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to act as Trustee under TIA
Section 310(a)(1) and shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 (or which shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and whose
ultimate parent holding company shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000).
If the Trustee publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of Federal, state, territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of the Trustee
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee.







     SECTION 608. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.



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




          (b) 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 an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.




          (c) 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 an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 60 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.




          (d) If at any time:




     (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA Section 310(b) after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security 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 607 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months, or



37









 





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




          (e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood
that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or
all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series). 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, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and accepted
appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such series.




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








     SECTION 609. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.



          (a) 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 and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the 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, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in
Section 606.




          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein each successor Trustee shall accept
such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to
transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with
respect to all Securities, shall contain






38









 







such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as
to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee,
and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to
provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such
Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or
trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.




          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section 609, as the case
may be.




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








     SECTION 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated,
or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities or coupons shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may
adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities or coupons so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case
any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name
or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides
for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.







     SECTION 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time when any of
the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon conversion or exchange, registration
of transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in
writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument shall be
promptly furnished to the Company. 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 bank or trust company or corporation organized and doing
business and in good standing under the laws of the United States of America or of any state or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision




39











 




or examination by Federal or state authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.




     Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to
which such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall continue to be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.



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



     The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this
Section, subject to Section 606.



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



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



	 	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	as Trustee

 	 
	 	 	 	 
	Dated: 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 
	 	 	as Authenticating Agent

 	 
	Dated: 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 	 	as Authenticating Agent

     SECTION 612. Certain Duties and Responsibilities of the Trustee.



          (a) With respect to the Securities of any series, except during the continuance of an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of such series:




          (1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee; and




          (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture, but shall not be under any duty
to verify the contents or accuracy thereof.




          (b) In case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series has occurred and
is continuing, the Trustee shall, with respect to Securities of such series, exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
his own affairs.




          (c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability
for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,
except that:




          (1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (a) of this
Section;




          (2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a
Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts;




          (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by
it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of any series relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and




          (4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or 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; and, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights and
powers under this Indenture at the request of any Holder, unless such Holder shall have offered to
the Trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.




          (d) 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 Section 612.




          (e) The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money or assets held by it except to
the extent the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Assets held in trust by the Trustee
need not be segregated from other assets except to the extent required by law.

     SECTION 701. Disclosure of Names and Addresses of Holders. Every Holder of Securities
or coupons, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither
the Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any Paying Agent nor any Security
Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any information as to the names
and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with TIA Section 312, regardless of the
source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable
by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under TIA Section 312(b).

rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to

time by the Commission; and



     (4) delivery of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational

list shall be required to be furnished.








ARTICLE EIGHT — CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE








     SECTION 801. Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and Conveyances
Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions. The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or
convey all or substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into any other corporation,
provided that in any such case, (1) either the Company shall be the continuing corporation, or the
successor corporation shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United
States or a State thereof and such successor corporation shall expressly assume the due and
punctual payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and any interest on

by supplemental indenture, complying with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee,
executed and delivered to the Trustee by such corporation, (2) immediately after giving effect to
such transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the Company or any
Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the Company or such Subsidiary at the
time of such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of
time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing and (3) the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee the Officer’s Certificate and Opinion of Counsel
required pursuant to Section 803 below.







     SECTION 802. Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation. In case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such assumption by the successor
corporation, such successor corporation shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with
the same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor
corporation, except in the event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this
Indenture and the Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may cause to be signed, and may
issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable
hereunder which theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee;
and, upon the order of such successor corporation, instead of the Company, and subject to all the
terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and
shall deliver any Securities which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers
of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such successor
corporation thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All
the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution hereof.



     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, such changes in
phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the Securities thereafter to be issued
as may be appropriate.







     SECTION 803. Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel. Any consolidation, merger,
sale, lease or conveyance permitted under Section 801 is also subject to the condition that the
Trustee receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that any such
consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and the assumption by any successor corporation,

ARTICLE NINE — SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES








     SECTION 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders. Without the consent

the benefit of such series); provided, however, that in respect of any such
additional Events of Default such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of
grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other
defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of that or those series of Securities to which such additional Events of
Default apply to waive such default; or



     (4) to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer
Securities may be registrable as to principal, to change or eliminate any restrictions on the
payment of principal of or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest on Bearer Securities,
to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in exchange for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer
Securities to be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to
permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form, provided that any
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or
any related coupons in any material respect; or



     (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any
such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any
series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the
benefit of such provision; or



     (6) to secure the Securities; or



     (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series and any related coupons as
permitted or contemplated by Sections 201 and 301; or



     (8) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of the provisions

     (9) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein which may be
defective or inconsistent with any other provision herein, or to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Indenture which shall not be inconsistent with
the provisions of this Indenture, provided such provisions shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material
respect; or



44









 





     (10) to supplement any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be
necessary to permit or facilitate the Defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant
to Sections 401, 1402 and 1403; provided that any such action shall not adversely affect

series of Securities in any material respect; or



     (11) to make provisions with respect to Holders’ rights of conversion with respect to any
series of Securities pursuant to Article Sixteen.

Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by
such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the
Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of Securities and any related coupons under this Indenture;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:



     (1) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any,
on) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security; or reduce the principal amount
thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon, or any premium or Make-Whole Amount payable upon
the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount
Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
pursuant to Section 502 or the amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or
adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of any Security, or change any
Place of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
or currencies in which, any Security or any premium or Make-Whole Amount or the interest thereon is
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption or repayment at the option of the
Holder, on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be), or (if
Securities of such series are convertible) adversely affect the right of the Holder to convert any
Security as provided in Article Sixteen; or



     (2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the
consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose
Holders is required for any waiver with respect to such series (or compliance with certain
provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in
this Indenture, or reduce the requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or voting, or



     (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1009, except to
increase the required percentage to effect such action or to provide that certain other provisions
of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause shall
not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to
“the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section 902 and Section 1009, or the deletion of this
proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 609(b) and 901(11).



     It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section 902 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act
shall approve the substance thereof.



     A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

     SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or accepting the
additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the
modification thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to

Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee
and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.







ARTICLE TEN — COVENANTS








     SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any; and
Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any) and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such series
of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on Bearer
Securities on or before Maturity shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
several coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to Section 301, at the
option of the Company (upon written notice to the Trustee), all payments of principal may be paid
by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other Person entitled thereto
against surrender of such Security.







     SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. If Securities of a series are issuable
only as Registered Securities, the Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series
of Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered
for payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or conversion or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are
issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain: (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
conversion or exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that
series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion in the
circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the
United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the Securities of
that series are listed on any stock exchange located outside the United States and



46









 




such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities
of that series in any required city located outside the United States, as the case may be, so long
as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United
States an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for conversion or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that
series 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 each such office or agency. If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that
series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment or conversion at the
offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the same as
its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands.




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



     The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside the Place of Payment) where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations;
provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the
requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The 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. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby
designates as a Place of Payment for each series of Securities, each of (i) the office or agency of
the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and (ii) the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee (as Paying Agent); and the Company hereby initially appoints the Trustee at its
Corporate Trust Office as Paying Agent in such city; and the Company hereby initially appoints as
its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands each of the Trustee,
at its Corporate Trust Office.



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







     SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall
at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities and any
related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any), 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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series)
sufficient to pay the principal (and



47









 




premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or 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 and any
related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any), or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
(in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies
described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, or interest 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) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on Securities in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;



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



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



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



     Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, and subject to applicable laws,
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 (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on any
Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon
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 of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on
any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the 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 an Authorized Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.







     SECTION 1004. Existence. Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be
done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence,
all material rights (by articles of incorporation, by-laws and statute) and material franchises;
provided, however, that the Company shall not be



48









 




required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the
preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.








     SECTION 1005. Maintenance of Properties. The Company will cause all of its material
properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be
maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order, normal wear and tear, casualty and
condemnation excepted, and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all
necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof (and the Company
may take out of service for a period of time, any of its properties that have been condemned or
suffered any loss due to casualty in order to make such repairs, betterments and improvements), all
as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on in connection
therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided,
however, that the Company and its Subsidiaries shall not be prevented from (i) removing
permanently any property that has been condemned or suffered a loss due to casualty based on the
Company’s reasonable judgment that such removal is in the best interest of the Company, or (ii)
selling or otherwise disposing of their properties for value in the ordinary course of business.







     SECTION 1006. Reserved.







     SECTION 1007. Reserved.







     SECTION 1008. Statement as to Compliance. The Company will deliver to the Trustee,
within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive
officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of
the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture and, in the event
of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes
of this Section 1008, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice under this Indenture.







     SECTION 1009. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1008,
inclusive, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either waive
such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but
no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and
the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.







ARTICLE ELEVEN — REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES








     SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article. Securities of any series which are redeemable
before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in accordance with
this Article.







     SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The election of the Company to
redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any
redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the
Company shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in Section 1104
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. 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 compliance with such restriction.







     SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. If less than all the
Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be



49









 




selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for
the selection for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of
that series.




     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than
itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities
selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.



     For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions
relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to
be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or
is to be redeemed.







     SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
provided in Section 106, not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date,
unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section
301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner
herein provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or
any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.



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



     All notices of redemption shall state:



     (1) the Redemption Date,



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



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



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



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



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



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



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



50









 





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



     (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, and



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



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







     SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its
own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of
such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities
of such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and (except if
the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or
portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date.



     If any Securities called for redemption are converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
be paid to the Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged
from such trust.







     SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of redemption having been
given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit or
units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) (together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the
Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest
appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall
be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice,
together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if
any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on
Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only
at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section
1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and
surrender of coupons for such interest; and provided further that except as
otherwise provided with respect to Securities convertible into the Company’s Common Stock or
Preferred Stock, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.



     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant
coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the
Redemption Price an amount equal



51









 




to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons
may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the
Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon
in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall
be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest
represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United
States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.




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







     SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Registered Security which is to be
redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Article Twelve) shall be
surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security
without service charge a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for
the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered. If a Global Security is so
surrendered, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
depository, without service charge, a new Global Security in a denomination equal to and in
exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.







ARTICLE TWELVE — SINKING FUNDS








     SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be
applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.



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







     SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The Company may,
in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any
previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with
all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series
which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise
been acquired by the Company; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a
credit have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for
such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in such Securities for
redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly.



52









 









     SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not less than 60 days prior
to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund
payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is
to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added
in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund
payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.







ARTICLE THIRTEEN — REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS








     SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article. Repayment of Securities of any series before
their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms
of such Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.







     SECTION 1302. Repayment of Securities. Securities of any series subject to repayment
in whole or in part at the option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the
terms of such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in or pursuant to the terms of
such Securities. The Company covenants that on or prior to the Repayment Date it will deposit with
the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series
are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series) sufficient to pay the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any
series, a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be an Interest
Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to
be repaid on such date.







     SECTION 1303. Exercise of Option. Securities of any series subject to repayment at the
option of the Holders thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of
such Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder, the Trustee
must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such
other place or places of which the Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such
Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the
Security so providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the
reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s attorney duly authorized in
writing) or (2) a telegram, telex, facsimile transmission or a letter from a member of a national
securities exchange, or the FINRA, or a commercial bank or trust company in the United States
setting forth the name of the Holder of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the
principal amount of the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the
tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment is being exercised
thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid, together with the duly completed form
entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on the reverse of the Security, will be received by the
Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter; provided, however, that such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly completed are
received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than the entire principal amount of
such Security is to be repaid in



53









 




accordance with the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid, in
increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and the denomination or
denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to the Holder for the portion of the
principal amount of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The
principal amount of any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may
not be repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security
would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such
Security to be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security
providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by
the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.








     SECTION 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable. If
Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof shall have
been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become
due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and on
and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities
on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear
interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid,
except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for
repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining
thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal amount of such Security so to be repaid
shall be paid by the Company, together with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date;
provided, however, that coupons whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
(except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section
301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and provided further that, in the case
of Registered Securities, installments of interest, if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to
the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default
in the payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.



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



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







     SECTION 1305. Securities Repaid in Part. Upon surrender of any Registered Security

specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion
of the principal of such Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN — DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE








     SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance. If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a) Defeasance
of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) Covenant Defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or
Sections, as the case may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities),
shall be applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at
its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be
applied to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with
the conditions set forth below in this Article.







     SECTION 1402. Defeasance and Discharge. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above
option applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in Section
1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections of this Indenture
referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, and the Company’s obligations
under Section 606 hereof (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may
exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 1403 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.







     SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance. Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option
applicable to this Section with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant
to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant contained herein or in any indenture
supplemental hereto, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter
be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration
or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Sections 1004 to 1009,
inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other
purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with
and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference in any such
Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or
501(7) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.



55









 









     SECTION 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. The following shall be
the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or
within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto:

making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in
such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable
to such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency,
currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons appertaining thereto are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the scheduled payment of principal and

date of any payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if
any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a
combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any

independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.



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



     (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(5) and 501(6)
are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such
period).



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



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



56









 





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



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







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



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



     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 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 such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.



     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, subject to Section 606, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government
Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect a Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as
applicable, in accordance with this Article.



57









 









     SECTION 1406. Reinstatement. If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any
money in accordance with this Article Fourteen with respect to any Securities of or series within
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 1402 or 1403
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article Fourteen
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 1405 with respect to such Securities in
accordance with this Article Fourteen; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of
principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such
Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.







ARTICLE FIFTEEN — MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES








     SECTION 1501. Purposes for Which Meetings May Be Called. A meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article
to make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series.







     SECTION 1502. Call, Notice and Place of Meetings.



     (a) The Trustee may at any time call a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series for any
purpose specified in Section 1501, to be held at such time and at such place as the Trustee shall
determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, setting forth the time
and the place of such meeting and in general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting,

Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in
Section 1501, by written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken
at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such
meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the
meeting to be held as provided herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series
in the amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the place for such
meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as provided in
subsection (a) of this Section.







     SECTION 1503. Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings. To be entitled to vote at any
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a Holder of one or more
Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as

provides may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified percentage in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the
absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any
such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than
10 days as




58











 




determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the
absence of a quorum at the reconvening of any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be
further adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days; at the reconvening of any meeting
adjourned or further adjourned for lack of a quorum, the Persons entitled to vote 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities shall constitute a quorum for the taking of any
action set forth in the notice of the original meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned
meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1502(a), except that such notice need be given only
once not less than five days prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened.




     Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or
adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the
affirmative vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities represented at such meeting; provided, however, that, except
as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with respect to any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly
provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a
majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting
or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present as aforesaid by the
affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series.



     Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such
series and the related coupons, whether or not present or represented at the meeting.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1504, if any action is to be taken at
a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with respect to any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that this Indenture expressly
provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in principal amount

     (i) there shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting; and



     (ii) the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series that vote in favor of
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be
taken into account in determining whether such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action has been made, given or taken under this Indenture.







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



          (a) Notwithstanding any provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard
to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning
the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required
by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in
Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 104
or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust
company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer Securities.
Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face,
may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.




          (b) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 1502(b), in which





59









 







case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may
be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.




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




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








     SECTION 1506. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings. The vote upon any
resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written
ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series or
of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding
Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall
appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any
resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the
proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any Series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the
inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons
having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that
said notice was given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy shall
be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and
one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the
Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed
and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.







ARTICLE SIXTEEN — CONVERSION OF SECURITIES







     SECTION 1601. Applicability of Article; Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price.
Securities of any series which are convertible shall be convertible in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in
accordance with this Article Sixteen. Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this
Article Sixteen, at any time during the period specified in the Securities, at the option of the
Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or an
integral multiple of $1,000 may be converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion
thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the Conversion Price, determined as
hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion. In case a Security or portion thereof is
called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall
expire at the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date,
unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption, in which case such
conversion right shall terminate on the date such default is cured.



     The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion (herein called
the “Conversion Price”) of Securities of any series shall be specified in such Securities. The
Conversion Price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1604.



60









 





     In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, declare or make a distribution on its
Common Stock referred to in paragraph (4) of Section 1604, the Holder of each Security, upon the
conversion thereof pursuant to this Article Sixteen subsequent to the close of business on the date
fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution and prior to the
effectiveness of the Conversion Price adjustment in respect of such distribution pursuant to
paragraph (4) of Section 1604, shall be entitled to receive for each share of Common Stock into
which such Security is converted, the portion of the evidence of indebtedness, shares of Capital
Stock or assets so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock; provided,
however, that, at the election of the Company (whose election shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution filed with the Trustee) with respect to all Holders so converting, the Company may, in
lieu of distributing to such Holder any portion of such distribution not consisting of cash or
securities of the Company, pay such Holder an amount in cash equal to the fair market value thereof
(as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and
described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee). If any conversion of a Security entitled
to the benefits described in the immediately preceding sentence occurs prior to the payment date
for a distribution to holders of Common Stock which the Holder of the Security so converted is
entitled to receive in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may elect
(such election to be evidenced by a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) to distribute to such
Holder a due bill for the evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock or assets to which
such Holder is so entitled, provided that such due bill (i) meets any applicable requirements of
the principal over-the-counter market or national securities exchange or other market on which the
Common Stock is then traded, and (ii) requires payment or delivery of such evidences of
indebtedness or assets no later than the date of payment or delivery thereof to holders of Common
Stock receiving such distribution.







     SECTION 1602. Exercise of Conversion Privilege. In order to exercise the conversion
privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed
or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency maintained by the Company pursuant
to Section 1002, accompanied by written notice to the Company at such office or agency that the
Holder elects to convert such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to
be converted, the portion thereof to be converted and shall comply with any additional requirements
set forth in such Security. Securities surrendered for conversion during the period from the close
of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of
business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except for Securities the Maturity of which is prior
to such Interest Payment Date) be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an
amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of
Securities being surrendered for conversion and such interest shall be paid on such Interest
Payment Date as provided in Section 307. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, no payment
or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued on the
Securities surrendered for conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued
upon conversion.



     The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the fixed number of shares of the Common Stock of the
Company (and any cash in lieu of any fractional share of Common Stock) into which the Security is
convertible shall be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal amount of the
Security and all accrued interest and original issue discount that has not previously been paid.
The shares of Common Stock of the Company so delivered shall be treated as issued first in payment
of accrued interest and original issue discount and then in payment of principal. Thus, accrued
interest and original issue discount shall be treated as paid, rather than canceled, extinguished
or forfeited.



     Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business
on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease,
and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As
promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall



61









 




deliver at such office or agency a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of
Common Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
provided in Section 1603.




     In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, as promptly as practicable on or
after the conversion date the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery to the Holder thereof (or the Depositary in the case of a Global Security),
at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations in
aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such
Security.







     SECTION 1603. Fractions of Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be
issued upon conversion of Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion
at one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable
upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate principal amount of the
Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of
Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities (or
specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment (rounded to the nearest cent)
in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the Closing Price per share
of the Common Stock on the day of conversion (or, if such day is not a Trading Day, on the Trading
Day immediately preceding such day).







     SECTION 1604. Adjustment of Conversion Price. The Conversion Price shall be subject to
adjustment from time to time as follows:



     (1) If the Company pays or makes a dividend or other distribution (a) on its Common Stock
exclusively in Common Stock or (b) on any other class of Capital Stock of the Company, which
dividend or distribution includes Common Stock of the Company, the Conversion Price in effect at
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of stockholders
entitled to receive such dividend or other distribution (the “Dividend Record Date”) shall be
reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on the
Dividend Record Date and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total
number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution. Such reduction shall become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company, but
shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of
shares of Common Stock. The Company shall not pay any dividend or make any distribution on shares
of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.



     (2) Subject to paragraph (6) of this Section, if the Company pays or makes a dividend or other
distribution on its Common Stock consisting exclusively of Short Term Rights (as defined below), or
otherwise issues Short Term Rights to all holders of its Common Stock, the Conversion Price in
effect at the opening of business on the day following the record date for the determination of
holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such Short Term Rights (the “Rights Record Date”) shall
be reduced by multiplying such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on the Rights
Record Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company which the aggregate of the
offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or
purchase would purchase at such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of
shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding at the close of business on the Rights Record
Date plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase. Such
reduction shall become effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the
Rights Record Date. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of Common Stock of
the Company at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company,
but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of
shares of Common Stock of the Company. The Company shall not issue any rights, options or warrants
in respect of shares of



62









 




its Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company. When used in this Section 1604, the term
“Short Term Rights” shall mean rights, warrants or options entitling the holders thereof (for a
period commencing no earlier than the Rights Record Date and expiring not more than 45 days after
the Rights Record Date) to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock of the Company at a
price per share less than the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph
(7) of this Section 1604) of the Common Stock of the Company on the Rights Record Date.




     (3) In case outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be subdivided into a
greater number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the opening of business
on the day following the day upon which such subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately
reduced, and, conversely, in case outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be
combined into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, the Conversion Price in effect at the
opening of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes effective
shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the case may be, to become
effective immediately after the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision or combination becomes effective.



     (4) Subject to the last sentence of this paragraph (4) of this Section, if the Company, by
dividend or otherwise, (a) distributes to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its
indebtedness, shares of any class of Capital Stock of the Company or other assets (other than cash
dividends out of current or retained earnings), or (b) distributes to substantially all holders of
Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for securities (other than Short Term Rights to which
paragraph (2) of this Section 1604 applies), the Conversion Price shall be reduced by multiplying
such Conversion Price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per
share (determined as provided in paragraph (7) of this Section 1604) of the Common Stock of the
Company on the Reference Date (as defined below) less the fair market value (as determined in good
faith by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution filed with the Trustee), on the Reference Date, of the portion of the evidences of
indebtedness and other assets so distributed or of such subscription rights or warrants applicable
to one share of Common Stock (collectively, the “Market Value of the Distribution”) and the
denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock of the Company. Such
reduction shall become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day (the
“Reference Date”) following the later of (a) the date fixed for the payment of such distribution
and (b) the date 20 days after notice relating to such distribution is required to be given
pursuant to Section 1606(a). If the Board of Directors determines the fair market value of any
distribution for purposes of this paragraph (4) by reference to the actual or when issued trading
market for any securities comprising such distribution, it must in doing so consider the prices in
such market over the same period used in computing the current market price per share pursuant to
paragraph (7) of this Section 1604. In the event that, with respect to any distribution to which
this paragraph (4) of Section 1604 would otherwise apply, the Market Value of the Distribution is
greater than the current market price per share of the Common Stock (such distribution being
referred to herein as an “Unadjusted Distribution”), then the adjustment provided by this paragraph
(4) shall not be made and in lieu thereof the provisions of Section 1611 shall apply with respect
to such Unadjusted Distribution.



     (5) The Company may, but shall not be required to, make such reductions in the Conversion
Price, in addition to those required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4) of this Section 1604, as
it considers to be advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a
dividend of stock or stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients. In addition, the Company,
from time to time, may decrease the Conversion Price by any amount and for any reason, temporarily
or otherwise, including situations where the Board of Directors determines such decrease to be fair
and appropriate with respect to transactions in which holders of Common Stock have the right to
participate.



     (6) Rights or warrants issued or distributed by the Company to all holders of its Common Stock
entitling the holders thereof to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock or Preferred
Stock, which rights or warrants (i) are deemed to be transferred with such shares of Common Stock,
(ii) are not exercisable and (iii) are also issued



63









 




or distributed in respect of future issuances of Common Stock, in each case in clauses (i) through
(iii) until the occurrence of a specified event or events (“Trigger Events”), shall for purposes of
this Section 1604 not be deemed issued or distributed until the occurrence of the earliest Trigger
Event. Each share of Common Stock issued upon conversion of Securities pursuant to this Article
Sixteen shall be entitled to receive the appropriate number of Common Stock purchase rights (the
“Rights”), if any, and the certificates representing the Common Stock issued upon conversion shall
bear such legends, if any. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article Sixteen, there
shall not be any adjustment to the Conversion Price as a result of (i) the distribution of separate
certificates representing the Rights; (ii) the occurrence of certain events entitling holders of
Rights to receive, upon exercise thereof, Common Stock or other securities of the Company or other
securities of another corporation; or (iii) the exercise of such Rights. No adjustment in the
Conversion Price need be made for rights to purchase or the sale of Common Stock pursuant to a
Company plan providing for reinvestment of dividends or interest.




     (7) For the purpose of any computation under paragraph (2), (4) or (5) of this Section 1604,
the “current market price” per share of Common Stock of the Company on any date shall be deemed to
be the average of the daily Closing Prices for the 15 consecutive Trading Days selected by the
Company commencing not more than 30 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the date in
question.



     (8) No adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would
require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in the Conversion Price; provided,
however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph (8) are not required to be
made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations
under this Article Sixteen shall be made to the nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a
share of Common Stock, as the case may be.



     (9) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, in the event the Company shall declare
any dividend or distribution requiring an adjustment in the Conversion Price hereunder and shall,
thereafter and before the payment of such dividend or distribution to stockholders, legally abandon
its plan to pay such dividend or distribution, the Conversion Price then in effect hereunder, if
changed to reflect such dividend or distribution, shall upon the legal abandonment of such plan be
changed to the Conversion Price which would have been in effect at the time of such abandonment
(after giving effect to all other adjustments not so legally abandoned pursuant to the provisions
of this Article Sixteen) had such dividend or distribution never been declared.



     (10) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 1604, no adjustment to the Conversion
Price shall reduce the Conversion Price below the then par value per share of the Common Stock of
the Company, and any such purported adjustment shall instead reduce the Conversion Price to such
par value. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Company hereby covenants that it will from
time to time take all such action as may be required to assure that the par value per share of the
Common Stock is at all times equal to or less than the Conversion Price.



     (11) In the event that this Article Sixteen requires adjustments to the Conversion Price under
more than one of paragraphs (1), (2), (3) or (4) of this Section 1604, and the record or effective
dates for the transaction giving rise to such adjustments shall occur on the same date, then such
adjustments shall be made by applying (to the extent they are applicable), first, the provisions of
paragraph (3) of this Section 1604, second, the provisions of paragraph (1) of this Section 1604,
third, the provisions of paragraph (4) of this Section 1604 and, fourth, the provisions of
paragraph (2) of this Section 1604. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, no single
event shall require or result in duplicative adjustments in the Conversion Price pursuant to this
Section 1604. After an adjustment to the Conversion Price under this Article Sixteen, any
subsequent event requiring an adjustment under this Article Sixteen shall cause an adjustment to
the Conversion Price as so adjusted. If, after an adjustment, a Holder of a Security upon
conversion of such Security receives shares of two or more classes of Capital Stock of the Company,
the Conversion Price shall thereafter be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of an action
taken with respect to any such class of Capital Stock as is contemplated by this Article Sixteen
with respect to the Common Stock in this Article Sixteen.



64









 









     SECTION 1605. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price. Whenever the Conversion Price
is adjusted as herein provided:



     (1) the Company shall compute the adjusted Conversion Price in accordance with Section 1604 or
Section 1611 and shall prepare an Officer’s Certificate setting forth the adjusted Conversion Price
and showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such
certificate shall forthwith be filed (with a copy to the Trustee) at each office or agency
maintained for the purpose of conversion of any Securities pursuant to Section 1002; and



     (2) a notice stating that the Conversion Price has been adjusted and setting forth the
adjusted Conversion Price shall forthwith be required, and as soon as practicable after it is
required, such notice shall be mailed by the Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they
shall appear in the Security Register.







     SECTION 1606. Notice of Certain Corporate Action. In case:



     (1) the Company shall take any action that would require a Conversion Price adjustment
pursuant to Section 1604 or Section 1611; or



     (2) there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other than a
subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common Stock), or any consolidation or
merger to which the Company is a party, or the sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially all
of the assets of the Company and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required;
or



     (3) there shall occur the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of
the Company, then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the
purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002, and shall cause to be mailed to all
Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register, at least 10 days
prior to the applicable record, effective or expiration date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of any dividend, distribution
or granting of rights, warrants or options, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of
which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights,
options or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the date on which such reclassification,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become
effective, and, if applicable, the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of
record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up.







     SECTION 1607. Company to Reserve Common Stock. The Company shall at all times reserve
and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock,
for the purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, a number of shares of Common Stock for
the conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series which is convertible into Common Stock.







     SECTION 1608. Taxes on Conversion. The Company will pay any and all taxes that may be
payable in respect of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities
pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in
respect of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name
other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or
delivery shall be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the Company
the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has
been paid.







     SECTION 1609. Covenants as to Common Stock. The Company covenants that all shares of
Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be duly and validly
issued, fully paid and



65









 




nonassessable, free of preemptive or any similar rights, and, except as provided in Section 1608,
the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.




     The Company will endeavor promptly to comply with all Federal and state securities laws
regulating the offer and delivery of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of Securities, if any,
and will list or cause to have quoted such shares of Common Stock on each national securities
exchange or in the over-the-counter market or such other market on which the Common Stock is then
listed or quoted.







     SECTION 1610. Cancellation of Converted Securities. All Securities delivered for
conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee,
which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 309.







     SECTION 1611. Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets; Special
Distributions. If any of the following shall occur, namely: (i) any reclassification or change
of outstanding shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Securities (other than a change
in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value, or as a result
of a subdivision or combination), (ii) any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
other than a merger in which the Company is the continuing corporation and which does not result in
any reclassification of, or change (other than a change in name, or par value, or from par value to
no par value, or from no par value to par value or as a result of a subdivision or combination) in,
outstanding shares of Common Stock or (iii) any sale or conveyance of all or substantially all of
the property or business of the Company as an entirety, then the Person formed by such
consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires such properties or assets, as the
case may be, shall as a condition precedent to such transaction execute and deliver to the Trustee
a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security then outstanding shall have the
right thereafter, during the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section
1601, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable, if any, upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease; provided that the kind
and amount of securities, cash and other property so receivable shall be determined on the basis of
the following assumptions. The holder of Common Stock referred to in the foregoing sentence:



     (1) is not (a) a Person with which the Company consolidated, (b) a Person into which the
Company merged or which merged into the Company, or (c) a Person to which such sale, transfer or
lease was made (any Person described in the foregoing clauses (a), (b), or (c), hereinafter
referred to as a “Constituent Person”), or (d) an Affiliate of a Constituent Person; and



     (2) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease
(provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale transfer or lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the
Company in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised, then for the
purpose of this Section 1611 the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease shall be deemed to be the kind and amount
so receivable per share by a plurality of such shares of Common Stock).



     Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the
effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable
to the adjustments provided for in this Article Sixteen. If, in the case of any such consolidation,
merger, sale transfer or lease the stock or other securities and property (including cash)
receivable thereupon by a holder of Common Stock includes shares of stock or other securities and
property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing corporation, as the case may be,
in such consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease then such supplemental indenture shall also
be executed by such other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holders of the



66









 




Securities as the Board of Directors of the Company shall reasonably consider necessary by reason
of the foregoing. The above provisions of this Section 1611 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or leases.




     In the event the Company shall execute a supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 1611,
the Company shall promptly file with the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate briefly stating the
reasons therefor, the kind or amount of shares of stock or securities or property (including cash)
receivable by Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such
reclassification, change, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or lease and any adjustment to be
made with respect thereto.



     If the Company makes a distribution to all holders of its Common Stock that constitutes an
Unadjusted Distribution pursuant to the last sentence of paragraph (4) of Section 1604, then, from
and after the record date for determining the holders of Common Stock entitled to receive such
distribution (the “Distribution Record Date”), a Holder of a Security who converts such Security in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture shall, upon conversion, be entitled to receive, in
addition to the shares of Common Stock into which the Security is convertible, the kind and amount
of evidences of indebtedness, shares of Capital Stock, or other assets or subscription rights or
warrants, as the case may be, comprising the distribution that such Holder would have received if
such Holder had converted the Security immediately prior to the Distribution Record Date.







     SECTION 1612. Trustee Adjustment Disclaimer; Company Determination Final. The Trustee
has no duty to determine when an adjustment under this Article Sixteen should be made, how it
should be made or what it should be. The Trustee has no duty to determine whether a supplemental
indenture under Section 1611 need be entered into or whether any provisions of any supplemental
indenture are correct. The Trustee shall not be accountable for and makes no representation as to
the validity or value of any securities or assets issued upon conversion of Securities. The Trustee
shall not be responsible for the Company’s failure to comply with this Article Sixteen. Any
determination that the Company or the Board of Directors must make pursuant to this Article Sixteen
is conclusive, absent manifest error.







     SECTION 1613. When No Adjustment Required. Except as expressly set forth in Section
1604, no adjustment in the Conversion Price shall be made because the Company issues, in exchange
for cash, property or services, shares of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or
exchangeable for shares of its Common Stock, or securities (including warrants, rights and options)
carrying the right to subscribe for or purchase shares of its Common Stock or such convertible or
exchangeable securities.



     (1) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no adjustment in the Conversion Price
shall be made pursuant to Section 1604 in respect of any dividend or distribution if the Holders
may participate therein (on a basis to be determined in good faith by the Board of Directors) and
receive the same consideration they would have received if they had converted the Securities
immediately prior to the record date with respect to such dividend or distribution.







     SECTION 1614. Equivalent Adjustments. In the event that, as a result of an adjustment
made pursuant to Section 1604 above, the holder of any Security thereafter surrendered for
conversion shall become entitled to receive any shares of Capital Stock of the Company other than
shares of its Common Stock, thereafter the Conversion Price of such other shares so receivable upon
conversion of any Securities shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on
terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to Common Stock contained
in this Article Sixteen.

[Reverse of Security]




ANTHERA PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.


This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the
“Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series under an



Indenture, dated as of __________ ____, 201___ (herein called the “Indenture”)
between the Company and ___, as Trustee (herein called
the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the
series of which this Security is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental
thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights,
duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities, and
of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. This
Security is one of the duly authorized series of Securities designated on the face hereof
(collectively, the “Securities”), [if applicable, insert — and the aggregate principal
amount of the Securities to be issued under such series is limited to $ ___(except for
