Section 103. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO TRUSTEE.




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

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

the Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the

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



     Whenever, subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical, typographical or other
inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be discovered therein, a new document or
instrument may be substituted therefor in corrected form with the same force and effect as if
originally filed in the corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual
execution and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed to have
been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with respect to the document or
instrument for which it is substituted. Anything in this Indenture to the contrary



-8-









 




notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that action has been
taken by or at the request of the Company that could not have been taken had the original document
or instrument not contained such error or omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or
otherwise rendered ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the
extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad faith. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, any Securities issued under the authority of such defective document
or instrument shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities, except as aforesaid.




Section 104. ACTS OF HOLDERS; RECORD DATES.




          (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by or pursuant to this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to 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 with the provisions of Article Fifteen or a combination of such
instruments and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and any
such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such
meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of
the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided
in Section 1506.




     Without limiting the generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global Security, may
make, give or take, by a proxy, or proxies, duly appointed in writing, any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a
Holder of a Global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the direct or indirect participants
therein or the beneficial owners of interests in any such Global Security through such Depositary’s
standing instructions and customary practices.



          (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



-9-









 






capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his
authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority
of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems
sufficient.




          (c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as
the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to
give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders of
Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of
Securities of such series in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to
such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the
date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 701) prior to
such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date for action to
be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such
series on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote
on, the relevant action.




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




          (e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the
Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every
Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, any Security
Registrar, any Paying 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 (i) U.S.
Bank National Association, Corporate Trust Services, 1350 Euclid Avenue, CN-OH-RN11,
Cleveland, Ohio 44115, Attention: Holly H. Pattison and (ii) the Corporate Trust Office, 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

specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or at
any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

Section 106. NOTICE TO HOLDERS; WAIVER.




     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in
the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to
any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the
Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but
such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given or provided.



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



Section 107. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT.




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



Section 108. EFFECT OF HEADINGS AND TABLE OF CONTENTS.




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



Section 109. 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 110. SEPARABILITY CLAUSE.




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

Section 111. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.




     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Indebtedness
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.



Section 112. GOVERNING LAW.




     This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the
laws of the State of Ohio, exclusive of its choice of law rules.



Section 113. LEGAL HOLIDAYS.




     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities other than a provision of the Securities of any
series which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section) payment
of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the
Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue with respect to the amount so payable
for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as
the case may be.



Section 114. COUNTERPARTS.




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

     [Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, prior to                     , redeem any
Securities of this series as contemplated by [Clause (2) of] the preceding paragraph as a part of,

fund payments otherwise required to be made — [in the inverse order in which they become due].]



     [If the Security is subject to redemption, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security
in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed

respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect

amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of

payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall
terminate.]



     The indebtedness evidenced by the Securities, including the principal thereof and premium, if

holder of this Security by accepting this Security agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions
and authorizes and directs the Trustee on such holder’s behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination as provided in the



-16-









 







Indenture and appoints the Trustee such holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes. Each holder of this Security, by accepting the same, also agrees that each holder of
Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred, shall be deemed to have

the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities [of each series] to be effected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the
Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the
time Outstanding [of each series] to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities [of each series] at the
time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all securities [of such series], to waive compliance
by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall
be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon
this Security.



     [As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security
shall not have the right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the
Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder,
unless: (i) such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this series; (ii) the Holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee
thereunder; (iii) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request; (iv) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to

been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principle
amount of the Outstanding Securities of this series. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or
any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed or provided for
herein.]



     No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture
shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay
the principal of and any premium [and interest] on this Security at the times, place and rate, and

payable in connection therewith.

authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver
such Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in or



-22-









 







pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section
601) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,



          (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to board resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of
this indenture;




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




          (c) that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws of general applicability relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.




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



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



     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.



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

Section 304. TEMPORARY SECURITIES.




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



     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which must be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series are issued, the
Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such
series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series, at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment
for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like principal amount and tenor. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities
of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series and tenor.



Section 305. REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.




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



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



-24-









 





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



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if (i) the Depositary
notifies the Company that it is unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as Depositary for such
Global Security, or if at any time such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor depositary is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing, (ii) the Company executes
and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such Global Security shall be so
exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the
Securities. Any Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be
exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct. If the
beneficial owners of interests in a Global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for
definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the
preceding sentence, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee
definitive Securities in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this
Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global Security shall be
surrendered from time to time by the Depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with
respect thereto, and in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary, as
the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied
by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be specified in
the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to
be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge. The
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered Global Security, a like aggregate
principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of
like tenor as the portion of such Global Security to be exchanged; provided, however, that no such
exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption
Date. Promptly following any such exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by the
Trustee to such Depositary or such other Depositary referred to above in accordance with the
instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Security is issued in exchange for any portion
of a Global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such Security where
such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special
Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the
related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest
shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may
be, in respect of such Security, but shall be



-25-









 







payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only
to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such Global Security shall be payable
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



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



     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange 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 for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities at
the Corporate Trust Office, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the
Trustee) that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107, upon repayment in part of
any Security pursuant to Article Thirteen, or upon surrender in part of any Security for conversion
or exchange into Capital Stock or other securities pursuant to its terms, in each case not
involving any transfer.



     The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the
day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption
under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing; (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in
the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed; or (iii)
to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms,
has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such
Security not to be so repaid.



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




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




     (2) Any exchange or transfer of a Registered Global Security for other Securities may
be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for or upon transfer of a
Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary
for such Global Security shall direct.




     (3) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether



-26-









 






pursuant to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be
authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such
Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global
Security or a nominee thereof.



     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, a Global Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Security to a nominee
of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary.



Section 306. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES.




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



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



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



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



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



     The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to particular Securities or generally, 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.

Section 307. PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED.




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



     Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having
been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:




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




     (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any
series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the



-28-









 






Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular
series, at the option of the Company, interest on Securities registered in the Securities Register
that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained by the
payee with a bank located in the United States, provided that appropriate transfer instructions
shall have been delivered by such payee to the Paying Agent in writing at least five Business Days
prior to the applicable date for payment of interest.



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



Section 308. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS.




     Prior to due presentment of a 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 Security is
registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307), any interest on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such 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.



     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such
Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Ownership of beneficial interest
in any Global Security will be shown only on, and the transfer of those ownership interests will be
effected only through, records maintained by the Depositary. 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 in a Global
Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial
ownership interests.



Section 309. CANCELLATION.




     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or
conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, who shall promptly cancel the Securities. 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. No



-29-









 







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. All cancelled Securities
held by the Trustee shall be destroyed in accordance with the Trustee’s customary practices.



Section 310. COMPUTATION OF INTEREST.




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



Section 311. CUSIP, CINS OR ISIN NUMBERS.




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

Satisfaction and Discharge




Section 401. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE.




     This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect (except as to any
surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when:




     (1) either




     (A) all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i)
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been
replaced or paid as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities 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 such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation




     (i) have become due and payable, or



-30-









 






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




     (iii) are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Company,
and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the
purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on
such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in
the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated
Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;




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




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



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



     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 305, 306, 402, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to any rights to convert or exchange such
Securities into Capital Stock or other securities, shall survive.



Section 402. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY.




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

Remedies




Section 501. EVENTS OF DEFAULT.




     “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any
one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body)
unless (i) such event is specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental
indenture, Board Resolution or Officers’ Certificate establishing the terms of such series pursuant
to this Indenture and (ii) such modification or deletion is substantially consistent with this
Section 501:




     (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it
becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or




     (2) default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security of
that series at its Maturity; or




     (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of
a Security of that series; or




     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company
in this Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty (i) for which the consequences of
breach or nonperformance are addressed (a) elsewhere in this Section 501 or (b) in such
Security or (ii) which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit
of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or breach
for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by 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; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the
Holders of such principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall be
deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is initiated by
the Company within such period and is being diligently pursued; or




     (5) the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the premises of (A) a decree or order
for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
(B) a decree or order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as
properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of
or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or appointing a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official
of



-32-









 







the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or
any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;
or




     (6) the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by
it to the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary
case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency
case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or the consent
by it to the filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official
of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability
to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by the
Company in furtherance of any such action; or




     (7) Any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series.



     Upon receipt by the Trustee of any Notice of Default from any Holder with respect to
Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date
shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to
join in such Notice of Default, which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the
Trustee receives such Notice of Default. The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated
proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such Notice of Default, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless Holders of at least 25%
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, or their proxies, shall have
joined in such Notice of Default prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date, such
Notice of Default shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of
no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from
giving (i) after expiration of such 90-day period, a new Notice of Default identical to a Notice of
Default which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, or (ii) during
any such 90-day period, an additional Notice of Default with respect to any new or different fact
or circumstance permitting the giving of a Notice of Default with respect to Securities of such
series, in either of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to the provisions
of this Section 501.



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 any of the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the terms thereof) of all



-33-









 







of 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 Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable; provided that if an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to the Company occurs, the principal of,
premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities will become due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holders.



     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 (or
specified amount) of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company
and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if




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




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




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




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




     (D) 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
non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by
such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.


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




     Upon receipt by the Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or rescission
and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented
by a Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close
of business on the day the Trustee receives such notice. The Holders on such record date, or their
duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in such notice, whether
or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless such declaration
of acceleration, or rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by
virtue of the requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which
is 90 days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission
and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
canceled and of



-34-









 







no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of
a Holder, from giving, (i) after expiration of such 90-day period, a new written notice of
declaration of acceleration or rescission and annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is
identical to a written notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, or (ii) during any such 90-day period, an additional written notice of declaration of
acceleration with respect to Securities of such series, or an additional written notice of
rescission and annulment of any declaration of acceleration with respect to any other Event of
Default with respect to Securities of such series, in either of which events a new record date
shall be established pursuant to the provisions of this Section 502.



Section 503. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE.




     The Company covenants that if




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




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


the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for principal and any premium
and interest and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue principal and any premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.




     If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the monies adjudged
or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities, 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 by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall
deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein,
or to enforce any other proper remedy.



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



-35-









 







Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and
all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders and the
Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized



     (1) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any premium, 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 or counsel) and of the Holders of allowed in such judicial
proceeding; and




     (2) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 607.



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



Section 505. TRUSTEE MAY ENFORCE CLAIMS WITHOUT POSSESSION OF SECURITIES.




     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof
in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be
brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities 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 any premium or interest, upon presentation of the Securities



-36-









 







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 under Section 607;




SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities 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 amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and
any premium and interest, respectively; and




THIRD: The balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.



Section 507. LIMITATION ON SUITS.




     No Holder of any Security of any series 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 a majority 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 reasonable indemnity 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 of such Holders.




-37-









 








Section 508. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHT OF HOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST.




     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (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 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, subject to
any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall 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 in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.



Section 511. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT WAIVER.




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



Section 512. CONTROL BY HOLDERS.




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



-38-









 






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



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




     (3) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed
may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the
executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the
Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee
in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or
forebearances specified in or pursuant to such direction shall be unduly prejudicial to the
interests of holders of the Securities of the series not joining in the giving of said
direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 601) the Trustee shall have no duty
to ascertain whether or not such actions or forebearances are unduly prejudicial to such
holders.



     Upon receipt by the Trustee of any such direction with respect to Securities of a series all
or part of which is represented by a Global Security, the Trustee shall establish a record date for
determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such direction,
which record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives such direction.
The Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to join in such direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained prior to the
day which is 90 days after such record date, such direction shall automatically and without further
action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent
a Holder, or a proxy of a Holder, from giving, (i) after expiration of such 90-day period, a new
direction identical to a direction which has been canceled pursuant to the provisions to the
preceding sentence or (ii) during any such 90-day period, a new direction contrary to or different
from such direction, in either of which events a new record date shall be established pursuant to
the provisions of this Section 512.



Section 513. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS.




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




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




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



     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to waive any past default hereunder. If a record date is fixed, the



-39-









 







Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to waive any default hereunder, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after
such record date; provided, that unless such majority in principal amount shall have been obtained
prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such waiver previously given shall
automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.



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



Section 514. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS.




     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, 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 514 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, on any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on
or after the Repayment Date) or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange
any Security into Capital Stock or other securities in accordance with its terms.



Section 515. WAIVER OF 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
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.

ARTICLE SIX




The Trustee




Section 601. CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES.




     The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of
all Events of Default that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has
occurred (which has not been cured or waived) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
or her own affairs.



     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) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing or waiving of
all such Events of Default that may have occurred:




     (A) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the
Securities be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the
Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and




     (B) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any 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;




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




     (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 not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding
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.



-41-









 





     The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of
any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such
liability is not reasonably assured to it.



Section 602. NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.




     If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give
the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent provided by
the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character
specified in Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.



Section 603. CERTAIN RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE.




     Subject to Section 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act and the provisions of
Section 601 hereof:



          (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties;




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




          (c) 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;




          (d) the Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion
of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;




          (e) 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 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;




-42-









 








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




          (g) 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.




Section 604. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR RECITALS OR ISSUANCE OF SECURITIES.




     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, except
that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture,
authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the statements made by
it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate, subject
to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor Authenticating Agent shall be
accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.



Section 605. MAY HOLD SECURITIES.




     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner
or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.



Section 606. 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 with the Company.



Section 607. COMPENSATION AND REIMBURSEMENT.




     The Company agrees:




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



-43-









 






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




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



     The Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the discharge of this
Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default specified
in Section 501(5) or (6) with respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under the Bankruptcy Law.



Section 608. DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.




     If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in the
manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.
To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one
series.



Section 609. CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.




     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is eligible
pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority and its
Corporate Trust Office in the United States of America. If such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.



Section 610. 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 611.



-44-









 







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




          (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.




          (d) If at any time:





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




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




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


then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all

          (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 a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees
with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor
Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and
that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular
series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year
after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a

and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the

others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee with respect to the 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

Section 611. 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 the request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring
Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.




          (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 wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1)
shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
such Trustees cotrustees 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



-46-









 






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) and (b) of this Section, 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 612. 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 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 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 so authenticated with the same effect as if
such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.



Section 613. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST COMPANY.




     If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act
regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other obligor).



Section 614. APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT.




     The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series
of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities
of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if
authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws
to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000
(unless it is an Affiliate of the Trustee) and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or
State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least



-47-









 







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



     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 any further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.



     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance
of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.



     No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of
this Section.



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



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



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



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	As Trustee

 	 
	 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	As Authenticating Agent	 
	 
	 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	Authorized Officer 	 
	 	 	 	 
	 



-48-









 





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

provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series)
in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, and upon the written
request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent
for payment in respect of the Securities of that series.



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



     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on any Security of any

series
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium,
if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of
such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for
payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in 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 or mailing nor shall it be later than two years
after such principal and any premium or interest shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.



Section 1004. STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT.




     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether or not to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in compliance with all of the terms,
provisions, covenants and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default with respect to
or shall not be in compliance with all such terms, provisions, covenants and conditions, specifying
all such defaults or events of noncompliance and the nature and status thereof of which they may
have knowledge.



Section 1005. EXISTENCE.




     Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
maintain its existence and its rights and franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and
that the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.



Section 1006. WAIVER OF CERTAIN COVENANTS.




     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Section 1005, with respect to the Securities of any series if before the
time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such
instance or generally waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly
waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.



     The Company may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Persons entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition. If a record date
is fixed, the Holders on such record date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons,



-57-









 







shall be entitled to waive any such term, provision or condition hereunder, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, that unless the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have waived such
term, provision or condition prior to the date which is 90 days after such record date, any such
waiver previously given shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be canceled
and of no further 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 a Board Resolution.
In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any
series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee in its sole discretion), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be
redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in
the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.



Section 1103. SELECTION BY TRUSTEE OF SECURITIES TO BE REDEEMED.




     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities
of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed) the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series 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. If less than all of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 nor less than
30 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.



-58-









 





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



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



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



Section 1104. NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.




     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, mailed not less
than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in
the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of the Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give
notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof. Any
notice that is mailed to the Holder of any Securities in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the notice.



     All notices of redemption shall state:




     (1) the Redemption Date;




     (2) the Redemption Price (and interest, if any);




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




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




     (5) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price (and interest, if any); and




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



-59-









 






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




     (8) the CUSIP number or the Euroclear or the Cedel reference numbers of such
Securities, if any (or any other numbers used by a Depositary to identify such Securities).



     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.



     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section 301, with
respect to any redemption of Securities at the election of the Company, unless, upon the giving of
notice of such redemption, defeasance shall have been effected with respect to such Securities
pursuant to Section 401, such notice may state that such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Trustee or the Paying Agent(s) for such Securities, on or prior to the date fixed
for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on
such Securities and that if such money shall not have been so received such notice shall be of no
force or effect and the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities. In the event that
such notice of redemption contains such a condition and such money is not so received, the
redemption shall not be made and within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the
manner in which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received and such
redemption was not required to be made, and the Trustee or Paying Agent(s) for the Securities
otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the Holders thereof any of such Securities
which had been surrendered for payment upon such redemption.



Section 1105. DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE.




     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, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except
if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.



Section 1106. SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE.




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



-60-









 







Section 301, installments of interest whose
Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their
terms and the provisions of Section 307.



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



Section 1107. SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART.




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



ARTICLE TWELVE




Sinking Funds




Section 1201. APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE.




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



-61-









 





Section 1202. SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES.




     The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously
called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been
previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of
the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a
result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to
this Section 1202, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call
Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall
be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from
time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or
such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series
purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to
be released to the Company.



Section 1203. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.




     Not less than 90 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion
thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which
is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202
and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 60 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 1105, 1106 and 1107.



ARTICLE THIRTEEN




Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance




Section 1301. 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 a series under Section 1302 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of a series



-62-









 







under Section 1303, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together
with the other provisions of this Article Thirteen, shall be applicable to the Securities of such
series, and the Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the
Securities of such series, elect to have either Section 1302 (if applicable) or Section 1303 (if
applicable) be applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article Thirteen.



Section 1302. DEFEASANCE AND DISCHARGE.




     Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities
of such series on and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below 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 the Outstanding
Securities of such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and
this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which
shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section
1304 as more fully set forth in such Section, payments of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest on such Securities when such payments are due and any rights of such Holders to
convert or exchange such Securities into Capital Stock or other securities, (B) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and such
obligations as shall be ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and
other provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Thirteen. Subject to
compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1303 with respect to the Securities
of such series.



Section 1303. COVENANT DEFEASANCE.




     Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section, the Company shall
be released from its obligations under Section 801 (and any covenant applicable to such Securities
that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to this provision) and the occurrence of
an event specified in Section 501(4) (with respect to any of Section 801) (and any other Event of
Default applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be subject to
this provision) shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter,
“covenant defeasance”). For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the
Outstanding Securities of such series, 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 Clause
whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or
Clause or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Clause to any other provision herein or
in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected
thereby.



-63-









 





Section 1304. CONDITIONS TO DEFEASANCE OR COVENANT DEFEASANCE.




     The following shall be the conditions precedent to application of either Section 1302 or
Section 1303 to the Outstanding Securities of such series:




     (1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 609 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as trust funds
in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (A)
money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment
of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide,
not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a
combination thereof, sufficient, without reinvestment, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the
Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Maturity of such
principal, premium, if any, or interest. Before such a deposit the Company may make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date
or dates in accordance with Article Eleven, which shall be given effect in applying the
foregoing. For this purpose, “U.S. Government Obligations” means securities that are (x)
direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which its full faith
and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting
as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is
unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States of
America, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer
thereof, and shall also include a Depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section
3(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to any such
U.S. Government Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such
U.S. Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of such
Depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not
authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to the holder of such Depositary
receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government
Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government
Obligation evidenced by such Depositary receipt.




     (2) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred
and be continuing (A) on the date of such deposit or (B) insofar as subsections 501(6) and
(7) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 121st day after the date of
such deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the longest
preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such deposit (it being understood
that the condition in this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of
such period).




-64-











 






     (3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the Trustee for the
Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in Section 608 or for
purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to any securities of the Company or (B)
result in the trust arising from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a
regulated investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.




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




     (5) In the case of an election under Section 1303, the Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding
Securities of such series 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.




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




     (7) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to
either the defeasance under Section 1302 or the covenant defeasance under Section 1303 (as
the case may be) have been complied with.




			
	Section 1305.  	DEPOSITED MONEY AND U.S. GOVERNMENT OBLIGATIONS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; OTHER
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS.





     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee — collectively, for purposes of this Section 1305, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1304
in respect of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (but not including the Company acting as its own Paying
Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need
not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.



     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed
on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1304
or the principal and interest received in respect thereof.



     Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations held by it
as provided in Section 1304 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the



-65-









 







Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.




			
	Section 1306.  	REINSTATEMENT.





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



ARTICLE FOURTEEN




Subordination of Securities





			
	Section 1401.  	AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE.





     The Company covenants and agrees, and each holder of Securities issued hereunder by such
holder’s acceptance thereof, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or assignment thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on all
Securities issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner herein set forth, be subordinate
and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness.




			
	Section 1402.  	NO PAYMENTS ON SECURITIES IF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS IN DEFAULT.





          (a) No payment on account of principal (including sinking fund payments) of or premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of Securities
(other than securities of the Company as reorganized or modified by similar proceedings or of any
other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or modification by similar proceedings,
the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent set forth in this Article Fourteen with
respect to the Securities, to payment in full, without modification or diminution by such
reorganization or modification, of all Senior Indebtedness, or payments from a defeasance trust
created pursuant to Section 1305) shall be made by or on behalf of the Company if at the time that
such payment is to be made (or immediately after giving effect thereto) there shall (or would)
exist a default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness beyond the applicable period of grace, if
any, so that, if such Senior Indebtedness shall not already have matured, holders of such Senior
Indebtedness would be entitled to accelerate the maturity thereof, and such default shall (or
would) not have been cured or waived or shall (or would) not have ceased to exist; provided,
however, that sinking fund obligations



-66-









 






under Section 1202 may be satisfied by use of Securities which were acquired prior to such
default by the Company or the Trustee (whether by exchange or otherwise); and provided FURTHER that
the provisions of this Section 1402 are subject to the further provisions of Section 1403.




          (b) In the event that notwithstanding this Section 1402, any payment by or on behalf of the
Company of any kind or character to which the holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be
entitled but for the provisions of this Section 1402 prohibiting such payment, shall be received by
the Trustee or any paying agent or the holders of the Securities, such payment shall be held in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid over and delivered to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness or their respective representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture
pursuant to which any instrument evidencing any of the Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid may
have been issued, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the payment of all
Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full
in accordance with its terms, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or
for the holders of Senior Indebtedness, provided that if there be any unliquidated obligations as
aforesaid there shall be paid an appropriate amount as a reserve therefor.





			
	Section 1403.  	PRIORITY OF SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS UPON DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS.

account of Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of this Article Fourteen

	Section 1407.  	AUTHORIZATION OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES TO TRUSTEE TO EFFECT SUBORDINATION.





     Each holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on
behalf of such holder to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the

of such holder’s Securities in the form required in said proceedings and the causing of said claim
to be approved. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required

from the Company or from one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor.




			
	Section 1410.  	RIGHTS OF THE TRUSTEE.





     The Trustee shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Fourteen with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder
of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 608 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Fourteen shall apply to claims
of, or payment to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.

the provisions hereof are hereby expressly waived. No waiver, forbearance or release by any holder

constitute a release of any of the obligations or liabilities of the Trustee or holders of the
Securities provided in this Article Fourteen.
