     Section 1.3 Compliance

     Except as otherwise expressly provided by
this Indenture, upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee such certificates and opinions as may be required under
the Trust Indenture Act. Each such certificate or opinion shall be given in the

statement that each Person signing such certificate or opinion has read such

     Section 1.4 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.

certificate or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer
knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her

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

     Section 1.5 Acts of Holders;
Record Dates.


     Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of the Outstanding
Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be, may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. The Trustee shall
promptly deliver to the Company copies of all such instrument or instruments
delivered to the Trustee. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent
shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section.


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


     The ownership, date of holding, principal
amount and serial numbers of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.


     Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security
shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the
Trustee, the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such
action is made upon such Security. Any consent or waiver of the Holder of any
Security shall be irrevocable for a period of six months after the date of
execution thereof, but otherwise any such Holder or subsequent Holder may
revoke the request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or other
Act as to his Security or portion of his Security; provided, however, that such
revocation shall be effective only if the Trustee receives the notice of
revocation before the date the Act becomes effective.


     The Company may set any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of
any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization,
direction, vote, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted
by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or
making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next
paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of
Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other
Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and
with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice
of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.7.



 8
 









     The Trustee may set any day as a record
date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of
any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of
Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2,
(iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2)
or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each
case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in
such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action shall be
effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date
by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such
series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to
prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to
the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series
in the manner set forth in Section 1.7.


     With respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate
any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the
Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall
be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.7, on or prior to the
existing Expiration Date. If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect
to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.5, the party
hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated
the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect
thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this
paragraph. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later
than the 180th day after the applicable record date.


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


     Section 1.6 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 (or by facsimile
transmissions, provided that oral confirmation of receipt shall have been
received) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department, 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
furnished by certified mail, return receipt requested, personally delivered or
furnished via overnight courier to the Company addressed to it at the address
of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or
at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.


     Section 1.7 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, or delivered by hand or overnight courier to each Holder
affected by such event, at its 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. Neither the failure to mail
or deliver by hand or overnight courier any notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed or delivered by hand or overnight courier, 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.



 9
 









     In case by reason of the suspension of
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give notice to Holders of Securities by mail, then such notification as
shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient
notification for every purpose hereunder. In any case in which notice to
Holders of Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a
Security, shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders of Securities.


     Section 1.8 Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act.


     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or
conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act or another provision
hereof required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act, the latter provision shall control. If any provision
of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture
Act, which 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 1.9 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 1.10 Successors and

     All covenants and agreements in this
Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether or not
so expressed. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its
successor.


     Section 1.11 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 1.12 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, any Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Security
Registrar, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.


     Section 1.13 Governing Law.


     THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,
BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE
EXTENT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED
THEREBY.


     Section 1.14 Legal Holidays.


     Unless otherwise provided with respect to
any Security or Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, in any case
where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, sinking fund payment date, or
Stated Maturity or Maturity or other payment date of any Security or the last
date on which a Holder has the right to convert a Security at a particular
conversion price 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 any Security which specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest or principal
(and premium, if any) or, if applicable to a particular series of Securities,
conversion 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, at
the Stated Maturity or on such last day for conversion, as the case may be.

     Section 2.3 Global Securities.


     If the Company shall establish pursuant to
Section 3.1 that the Securities of a particular series are to be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section
3.3 and the Company Order delivered to the Trustee thereunder, authenticate
and deliver such Global Security or Securities, which (i) shall represent,
and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by such Global
Security or Securities, (ii) may provide that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased
or reduced to reflect exchanges, (iii) shall be registered in the name of
the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee,
(iv) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to
the Depositary’s instruction and (v) shall bear a legend in accordance
with the requirements of the Depositary.


     Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Section or of Section 3.5, except as contemplated by the
provisions of this Section 2.3 below, unless the terms of a Global
Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in
part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole
but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 3.5, only to a
nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the Depositary, or to
a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by the
Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


     If at any time the Depositary for a Global
Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as the
Depositary for such Global Security or if at any time the Depositary for the
Securities for such series shall no longer be eligible or in good standing
under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company
shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global Security. If a
successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of
such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of
a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of Securities of such
series in the form of definitive certificates in exchange for such Global
Security, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in the form
of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security in exchange for
such Global Security. Such Securities will be issued to and registered in the
name of such Person or Persons as are specified by the Depositary.


     The Company may at any time and in its
sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued or issuable
in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by
such Global Security or Securities. In any such event the Company will execute,
and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and
delivery of Securities in the form of definitive certificates in exchange in
whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver
without service charge to each Person specified by the Depositary Securities in
the form of definitive certificates of like tenor and terms in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security
representing such series, or the aggregate principal amount of such Global
Securities representing such series, in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities.


     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1
with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security,
the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in
exchange in whole or in part for Securities in the form of definitive
certificates of like tenor and terms on such terms as are acceptable to the
Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (A) to each
Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same
series of like tenor and terms and any authorized denomination as requested by
such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such
Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security and (B) to such
Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized
denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of
the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of
Securities delivered to Holders thereof.



 12
 









     In any exchange provided for in any of the
preceding three paragraphs, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver Securities in the form of definitive certificates in
authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a
Global Security for Securities in the form of definitive certificates, such
Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Except as provided in the
immediately preceding subparagraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global
Security pursuant to this Section 2.3 shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global
Security, acting pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. Provided that the
Company and the Trustee have so agreed, the Trustee shall deliver such
Securities to the Persons in whose names the Securities are so to be
registered.


     Any endorsement of a Global Security to
reflect the principal amount thereof, or any increase or decrease in such
principal amount, or changes in the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities
represented thereby shall be made in such manner and by such Person or Persons
as shall be specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter of
representations or other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the
Depositary with respect to such Global Security or in the Company Order
delivered or to be delivered pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4
with respect thereto. Subject to the provisions of Section 3.3 and,
if applicable, Section 3.4, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any
such Global Security in the manner and upon instructions given by the Person or
Persons specified in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations or
other arrangement entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with
respect to such Global Security or in any applicable Company Order. If a
Company Order pursuant to Section 3.3 or Section 3.4 is
so delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to such Global
Security contained therein shall be in writing but need not be accompanied by
or contained in an Officers’ Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion
of Counsel.


     The Depositary or, if there be one, its
nominee, shall be the Holder of a Global Security for all purposes under this
Indenture; and beneficial owners with respect to such Global Security shall
hold their interests pursuant to applicable procedures of such Depositary. The
Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar shall be
entitled to deal with such Depositary for all purposes of this Indenture
relating to such Global Security (including the payment of principal, premium,
if any, and interest and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Global
Security and the giving of instructions or directions by or to the beneficial
owners of such Global Security as the sole Holder of such Global Security and
shall have no obligations to the beneficial owners thereof (including any
direct or indirect participants in such Depositary). None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security
in or pursuant to any applicable letter of representations or other arrangement
entered into with, or procedures of, the Depositary with respect to such Global
Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every Global
Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in

such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for
60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security
for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any premium or
interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed 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 in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.


          As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency
of the Company in any place where the principal of and any premium and interest
on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like
tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.


          The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities
of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.


          No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company or the Security Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.


          Prior
to due presentment of this 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 this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee
nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


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

to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in
the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture

     Section 3.2
Denominations.


     Except
as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Securities of each
series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons. The
Securities of such series shall be issuable only in such denominations as shall
be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1. In the absence of any
such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the
Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1
with respect to any series of Securities, any Securities of a series
denominated in a currency other than Dollars shall be issuable in denominations
that are the equivalent, as determined by the Company by reference to the noon
buying rate in The City of New York for cable transfers for such currency (“Exchange
Rate”), as such rate is reported or otherwise made available by the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, on the applicable issue date for such Securities, of
$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.


     Section 3.3
Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.


     The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its principal financial officer, its
President or one of its Vice Presidents, and attested by its Treasurer, its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or Assistant Secretaries. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile. Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals
who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not
hold such offices at the date of such Securities.


     At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in
accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities; provided, however, that in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing)
acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a Company Order
delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first authentication of
Securities of such series. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. If the form or terms of the
Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions or any other method permitted by Sections 2.1 and
3.1, 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 6.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, a copy of such Board Resolution, the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of
Counsel, with such Opinion of Counsel stating,



 19
 









          (1) if
the form or terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to
Board Resolution or any other method permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1,
that such form or terms have been, or in the case of Securities of a series
offered in a Periodic Offering will be, established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture, subject in the case of Securities offered in a
Periodic Offering, to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and


          (2) that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by
the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions, exceptions and
qualifications specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal,
valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with
their terms, except as such enforcement is subject to the effect of (i) bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights and (ii) general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).


     Such
Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to the enforceability of Section
6.7 or as to whether a court in the United States would render a money
judgment in a currency other than that of the United States. Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.1 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 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.


     Notwithstanding
that such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall have the
right to decline to authenticate such Securities if, in the written opinion of
counsel to the Trustee (which counsel may be an employee of the Trustee), such
action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board
of trustees or trustees, executive committee or a trust committee of directors,
trustees or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the
Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any Securities then outstanding.


     With
respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee
may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, the
form and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and
enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and the other documents
delivered pursuant to Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and this Section, as
applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such
series.


     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 or an Authenticating Agent 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 3.9, 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.


     The
Company in issuing Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in
use), and if so, the Trustee may use the CUSIP numbers in notices of redemption
or exchange as a convenience to Holders; provided, however, that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or
accuracy of the CUSIP number printed in the notice or on the Securities, that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption or exchange shall not be affected by any
defect or omission of such CUSIP numbers. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of any change in CUSIP numbers known to an Officer of the Company.
Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any
defect in the CUSIP number that appears on any Security, check, advice of
payment or redemption notice, and any such document may contain a statement to
the effect that CUSIP numbers have been assigned by an independent service for
convenience of reference and that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any inaccuracy in such numbers.


     Section 3.4
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, mimeographed
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 evidenced by their
execution of such Securities. All or any portion of the temporary Securities of
a series may be Global Securities.



 20
 









     If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause
definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
Except in the case of temporary Securities that are Global Securities, each of
which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions thereof, after the
preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities
of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series
upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or
agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount. 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, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.


     Section 3.5
Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.


     The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or
in any office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 9.2
in a Place of Payment or in such other place or medium as may be specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 a register for each series of Securities
(each register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes 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 of such
series and of transfers of Securities of such series. Unless otherwise
contemplated by Section 3.1, the Trustee is hereby appointed “Security
Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and transfers of Securities,
and for the purpose of maintaining the Security Register in respect thereof, as
herein provided.


     Except
as set forth in Section 2.3 or as may be provided pursuant to Section
3.1, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a
series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, the Company shall execute and deliver a Company Order requesting the
Trustee to authenticate and deliver, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like
tenor and aggregate principal amount.


     Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, at the option of
the Holder, Securities of any series (other than Global Securities) may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender
of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency, and upon payment,
if the Company shall so require, of the charges hereinafter provided. 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.


     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
entitled 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, Security Registrar or the Trustee) be
duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar or the Trustee, as the case
may be, duly executed, by the Holder thereof or its attorney duly authorized in
writing.


     Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, no service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.6 or 11.7 not involving
any transfer.


     Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, if the Securities
of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in
whole or in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series
and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of any such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in
whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed
in part.



 21
 









     Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company
shall not be required to register the transfer or exchange of Securities
between a Record Date and the next succeeding Interest Payment Date.


     Section 3.6
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


     If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute
and deliver a Company Order requesting the Trustee to authenticate and deliver,
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 upon the Company’s request 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.


     Notwithstanding
the preceding paragraph, 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 3.6, 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 3.6 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 3.6 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 3.7
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.


     Except
as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 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 at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 9.2; provided, however, that at the option of the Company,
interest on any series of Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid
(i) by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it
shall appear on the Security Register of such series (unless, with respect to a
Global Security, the rules of the Depositary require payment of such amount by
wire transfer) or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the
Person entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register of such series.


     Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1, 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



 22
 









than
15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.7, not less than 10 days
prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in 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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).


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


     Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.7, 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 3.8
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 Section 3.7)
any interest and any Additional Amounts or other payments on such Security and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security shall be overdue,
and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


     Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, none of the
Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global
Security, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to
such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company or the
Trustee, or any agent of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any
written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any Depositary
(or its nominee), as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or impair,
as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the
rights of such Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.


     Section 3.9
Cancellation.


     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 canceled by the Trustee. The
Security Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any
Securities surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.
On request of the Company at the time of surrender, the Trustee shall deliver
to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such
request, all canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in
accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures.


     Section 3.10
Computation of Interest.


     Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 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.

ARTICLE 4


SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE


     Section 4.1
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.


     This
Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect with respect
to Securities of or within any series (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of such Securities and replacement of such
Securities which may have been lost, stolen or mutilated as herein expressly
provided for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to such Securities, when


          (1) either


               (A) all
such 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 3.6 and
(ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in
trust or segregated and held in trust by the Trustee or the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3)
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


                    (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 clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds
in trust for the purpose money in 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 and any Additional
Amounts 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 with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series;


          (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 Securities
have been complied with.


     If
any Outstanding Securities of such series are to be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in
accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the trust agreement
evidencing the trust referred to in subclause (B) of clause (1)
of this Section 4.1 shall provide therefore and the Company shall
make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company.


     Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of the
Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if
money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B)
of clause (1) of this Section 4.1, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 4.2 and the last paragraph of Section 10.3
shall survive.


     Section 4.2
Application of Trust Money.


     Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 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 or Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has been
deposited with the Trustee.

ARTICLE 5


REMEDIES 


     Section 5.1
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 occasioned by the subordination provisions
applicable to any Securities or 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 it is either inapplicable to a particular series or it is specifically
deleted or modified in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture, Officers’
Certificate establishing such series, or form of Security for such series:


          (1) default
in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to,
any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of
such default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of such
payment is deposited by the Company with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent
prior to the expiration of such period of 30 days); or


          (2) default
in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security of that
series at its Maturity, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days
(unless the entire amount of such payment is deposited by the Company with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent prior to the expiration of such period of 30
days); or


          (3) default
in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a
Security of that series, and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days; 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 a default in whose
performance or whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 5.1
specifically dealt with or 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 60 days after there
has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee
or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or


          (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 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 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 in
the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate
establishing that series.



 25
 









     Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.1, if the principal of,
premium (if any) or any interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to,
any Security is payable in a currency or currencies (including a composite
currency) other than Dollars and such currency or currencies are not available
to the Company for making payment thereof due to the imposition of exchange
controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company (a “Conversion
Event”), the Company will be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders
of the Securities by making such payment in Dollars in an amount equal to the
Dollar equivalent of the amount payable in such other currency, as determined
by the Company by reference to the Exchange Rate, as such Exchange Rate is
certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the
date of such payment, or, if such rate is not then available, on the basis of
the most recently available Exchange Rate. Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 5.1, any payment made under such
circumstances in Dollars where the required payment is in a currency other than
Dollars will not constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture.


     Promptly
after the occurrence of a Conversion Event with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Company shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee; and
the Trustee, promptly after receipt of such notice, shall give notice thereof
in the manner provided in Section 1.7 to the Holders of such series.
Promptly after the making of any payment in Dollars as a result of a Conversion
Event with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall give
notice in the manner provided in Section 1.7 to the Holders of such
series, setting forth the applicable Exchange Rate and describing the
calculation of such payments.


     Section 5.2
Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


     Unless
the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate
establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then 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 of all the Securities of that series (or, if any
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, thereon, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect thereto, to be due
and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified amount) and premium, if any, together with accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, thereon, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect
thereto, shall become immediately due and payable.


     At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of
any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article 5
provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if


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


               (A) all
overdue interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, all Securities
of that series (or of all series, as the case may be),


               (B) the
principal of or premium (if any) on any Securities of that series (or of all
series, as the case may be) which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity),


               (C) to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
such Securities (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the
Securities’ Yield to Maturity), and


               (D) all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder, the compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances due to Trustee under Section 6.7, and
all other amounts due under Section 6.7;


          (2) all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series (or of all series,
as the case may be), other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities
of that series (or of all series, as the case may be) which have become due
solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided
in Section 5.13; and


          (3) the
rescission would not conflict with any final judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction.



 26
 









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


     Section 5.3
Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


     The
Company covenants that if


          (1) default
is made in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts with
respect to, any Security of any series when such interest or Additional Amounts
shall become 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 on, and Additional Amounts with respect to, and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest or Additional Amounts, at the
rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities (or in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to Maturity), 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, and all
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.


     If
the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee,
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial
proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, 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 moneys
adjudged or deemed 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.


     In
addition, if any other Event of Default with respect to Securities of any
series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed, in
its own name and as trustee of an express trust, 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 5.4
Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.


     In
case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or
the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal (or lesser amount in the case of
Original Issue Discount Securities) of the Securities shall then be due and
payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of
whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment
of overdue principal of, premium (if any), interest on, or any Additional
Amounts with respect to, such Securities) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,


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


          (2) to
collect and receive any monies or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder 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 6.7.


     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.



 27
 









     Section 5.5
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 may be instituted by the Trustee in its own name as trustee
of an express trust.


     Section 5.6
Application of Money Collected.


     Subject
to the subordination provisions applicable to any series of Securities, any
money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied and
paid 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 on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities, upon
presentation of the Securities 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 6.7 in
connection with such series of Securities in respect of which money or other
property is collected;


     SECOND:
Subject to the terms of any subordination entered into as contemplated by Section 3.1,
to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any
premium, if any, and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to,
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, if any, interest on and Additional Amounts, respectively; and


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


     To
the fullest extent allowed under applicable law, if for the purpose of
obtaining judgment against the Company in any court it is necessary to convert
the sum due in respect of the principal of, premium (if any) or interest on, or
any Additional Amounts with respect to, the Securities of any series (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the
Business Day in The City of New York next preceding that on which final
judgment is given. Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any
shortfall nor shall any of them benefit from any windfall in payments to
Holders of Securities under this Section 5.6 caused by a change in
exchange rates between the time the amount of a judgment against it is
calculated as above and the time the Trustee converts the Judgment Currency
into the Required Currency to make payments under this Section 5.6
to Holders of Securities, but payment of such judgment shall discharge all
amounts owed by the Company on the claim or claims underlying such judgment.


     Section 5.7
Limitation on Suits.


     Subject
to Section 5.8, 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) an
Event of Default with respect to such series of Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing and such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of such continuing Event of Default;


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


          (3) such
Holder or Holders have offered and, if requested, provided 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



 28
 









          (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 (or of all series, as the case may
be).


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.


     Section 5.8
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.


     Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Security
to receive payment of the principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7)
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Security on the
Stated Maturity or Stated 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 after the respective due dates, shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.


     Section 5.9
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 5.10
Rights and Remedies Cumulative.


     Except
as otherwise provided in Section 5.7 or with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in
the last paragraph of Section 3.6, 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 5.11
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 5
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 5.12
Control by Holders.


     With
respect to Securities of any series, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such 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, relating to or arising under an Event of Default described in clause
(1), (2), (3), (4) or (7) of Section 5.1,
and with respect to all Securities the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, relating to or arising
under an Event of Default described in clause (5) or (6) of Section
5.1, provided that in each such case


          (1) the
Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action so directed may
not lawfully be taken or would conflict with this Indenture or if the Trustee
in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings
so directed would involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial
to the Holders not taking part in such direction, and


          (2) the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not
inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture.

     Section 5.13
Waiver of Past Defaults.


     Subject
to Section 5.8 and Section 9.2, 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 or Event of Default described in clause (1), (2),
(3), (4) or (7) of Section 5.1 hereunder with
respect to such series and its consequences, and the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of all Outstanding Securities may on behalf of the Holders of
all Securities waive any Event of Default described in clause (5) or (6)
of Section 5.1 hereunder and its consequences, except a default


          (1) in
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security as and when the same shall
become due and payable by the terms thereof, otherwise than by acceleration
(unless such default has been cured as provided herein), or


          (2) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 9
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected.


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


     Section 5.14
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 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, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court
may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in
the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that
the provisions of this Section 5.14 shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any series, or to
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of or interest on any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
the redemption date).


ARTICLE 6


THE TRUSTEE 


     Section 6.1
Certain Duties and Responsibilities.


          (1) If
an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise
the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise as a prudent individual would exercise or use
under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.


          (2) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:


               (A) The
Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
Indenture and no others, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee.


               (B) In
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the
case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any
provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein).


          (3) The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct or bad faith, except
that:



 30
 









               (A) This
paragraph does not limit the effect of clause (2) of this Section 6.1.


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


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


          (4) Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
to clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 6.1.


          (5) The
Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of Holder or
Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holder or Holders shall have
offered and, if requested, provided to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred
by it in compliance with such request or direction.


          (6) No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.


          (7) The
Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and any Authenticating Agent shall be
entitled to the protections, immunities and standard of care as are set forth
in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 6.1
with respect to the Trustee.


     Section 6.2
Notice of Defaults.


     If
a default occurs hereunder and is continuing with respect to Securities of any
series and it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, 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
except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities
of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of
trustees, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or
Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of Securities of
such series.


     Section 6.3
Certain Rights of Trustee.


     Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.1:


          (1) in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, 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, coupon, other evidence of
indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to
have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;


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


          (3) any
request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (unless other evidence is
specifically required herein), and any resolution of the Board of Directors
shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;



 31
 









          (4) 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), in the absence of bad faith on its part, is entitled to and may
rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;


          (5) 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;


          (6) 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.


          (7) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default or Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee
unless either (1) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of
such default or Event of Default or (2) written notice of such default or
Event of Default shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or any
other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities; and


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


     Section 6.4
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 neither the Trustee nor any Security Registrar, Paying Agent or
Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any Security Registrar,
Paying Agent or Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.


     Section 6.5
May Hold Securities and Act as Trustee under Other Indentures.


     The
Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or
any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8
and 6.13, 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.


     Subject
to the limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this
Indenture shall prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under
other indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest of
participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same
manner as if it were not Trustee hereunder.


     Section 6.6
Money Held in Trust.


     Subject
to the provisions of Sections 10.3 and 13.5, all moneys
received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied, as provided herein, be
held in trust for the purposes for which they were received. Money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in
writing with the Company. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid by the
Company from time to time upon a Company Order.


     Section 6.7
Compensation and Reimbursement.


     The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation
for its services as the Company and the Trustee may agree in writing from time
to time. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred by it in connection with the performance of its duties
under this Indenture, except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may
be attributable to its negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Such expenses
shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents
and counsel.



 32
 









     The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it harmless against, any and
all loss, liability, damage, claim or expense (including attorneys’ fees and
expenses, and including taxes other than taxes based upon, measured by or
determined by the income of the Trustee), including without limitation the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any third-party claim (whether
asserted by any Holder or any other Person (other than the Company to the
extent of any claim brought by it against the Trustee that establishes a breach
by the Trustee in the observance or performance of its duties under this
Indenture)), incurred by it without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
arising out of or in connection with its acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts hereunder, including the performance of its duties or the
exercise of its powers hereunder. With respect to any such claim other than a
claim brought by the Company, (i) the Trustee shall notify the Company promptly
of any claim for which it may seek indemnity, (ii) the Company may at its
option defend the claim, in which event the Trustee shall cooperate in the
defense and the Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall pay
the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel and (iii) the Company
need not pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers,
directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee.


     To
secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.7, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series on all money or
property held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay
principal of and interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to,
particular Securities of that series.


     When
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified
in Section 5.1(5) or (6) occurs, the expenses and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law.


     The
provisions of this Section 6.7 and any lien arising hereunder shall
survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the discharge of the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the termination of this
Indenture.


     Section 6.8
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 conflicting
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner and with the effect
provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this
Indenture. To the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture 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 or any
other indenture.


     Section 6.9
Eligibility; Disqualification.


     There
shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of each series (which need not be the same Trustee for all series).
A Trustee may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more series. Each
Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act
to act as such and has (or if the Trustee is a member of a bank holding company
system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of at
least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
(or the District of Columbia) authority. If any such Person or bank holding
company publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section 6.9 and to the extent permitted by the
Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person or bank
holding company shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.9, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article 6.


     The
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Sections
310(a)(1), 310(a)(2) and 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture
Act.


     Section 6.10
Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


     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 6.11.


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



 33
 









     The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series
by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11
shall not have been delivered to the removed Trustee within 30 days after
the receipt of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition at the
expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


     If
at any time:


          (1) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8 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 6.9 and shall fail
to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
or


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


then,
in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.


     If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a
vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company by a Board Resolution shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee
may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such
series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and such successor Trustee or Trustees
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If,
within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so
appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner
required by Section 6.11, the retiring Trustee may petition, or any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may petition, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


     The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders
of Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.7.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.


     Section 6.11
Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.


     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.



 34
 









     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 co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.


     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 the first
or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.


     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 6.


     Section 6.12
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 or acquiring all or substantially all the corporate trust
business of the Trustee (including the administration of the trust created by
this Indenture), 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, or by succession to or acquisition
of all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of, such successor
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 6.13
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) as provided in the Trust Indenture Act, 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 6.14
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 3.6, 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, except as other
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, shall at all times be a
bank or trust company or 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 (or
if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a bank



 35
 









holding
company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital and surplus of
not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State (or the District of Columbia) authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section 6.14, 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 6.14, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section
6.14.


     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 or acquiring 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 6.14, 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 for any series of Securities may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Trustee for such series and to the
Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the
agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice 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 for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 1.7 to
all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section 6.14.


     The
Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section 6.14, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.7.


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


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

in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such

liabilities under this Indenture or otherwise.


     Section 9.4
Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent
Holder of such Security or any part thereof.


     Section 9.5

Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.


ARTICLE 10


COVENANTS 


     Section 10.1
Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.


     The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to, the
Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and
this Indenture.


     Section 10.2
Maintenance of Office or Agency.


     The
Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an
office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon
the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may
be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands. Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1
hereof, the Place of Payment for any series of Securities shall be the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.


     The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall
in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes.
The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.



 40
 









     Section 10.3
Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.


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


     Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities,
it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities of that
series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such
sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.


     The
Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than
the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 10.3,
that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the continuance
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that
series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that
series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the
Securities of that series.


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


     Any
money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the
Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date
that is ten Business Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the
State or two years after such principal, premium or interest or Additional
Amount 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 in The Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York and in such other Authorized Newspapers as the Trustee shall deem
appropriate, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified herein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of
such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will,
unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat, or
abandoned or unclaimed property law, be repaid to the Company.


     Section 10.4
Statement by Officers as to Default.


     At
any time at which there are Outstanding Securities of any series issued under
this Indenture, 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 complying with Section 314(a)(4) of the
Trust Indenture Act and stating that a review of the activities of the Company
during such year and of performance under this Indenture has been made under
the supervision of the signers thereof and stating whether or not to the best
knowledge of the signers thereof, based upon such review, the Company is in
default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions 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, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge. One of the officers signing the Officers’
Certificate delivered pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be the
principal executive, financial or accounting officer of the Company.


     Section 10.5
Existence.


     Subject
to Article 8, the Company will do or cause to be done all things
necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence.



 41
 









     Section 10.6
All Securities to be Equally and Ratably Secured.


     Unless
specified otherwise by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with
respect to any series, the Company will not itself secure Securities of any one
or more series with any Mortgage, without effectively providing that the
Securities of every other series shall be secured equally and ratably by such
Mortgage.


     Section 10.7
Maintenance of Properties.


     The
Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business
to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working order and
supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary
repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as,
and to the extent, in the judgment of the Company may be necessary or
appropriate in connection with its business; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or
maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the
judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its business and not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders.


     Section 10.8
Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.


     The
Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the
same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits or
property of the Company, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials
and supplies which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of
the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay
or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge
or claim (i) whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings or (ii) if the failure to pay or
discharge would not have a material adverse effect on the assets, business,
operations, properties or financial condition of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole.


     Section 10.9
Waiver of Certain Covenants.


     Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities
of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series,
omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition
set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Sections 3.1(22), 8.1,
9.1(2), 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8
for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before or after 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.


     Section 10.10
Additional Amounts.


     If
the Securities of a series expressly provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series
Additional Amounts as expressly provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture
there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of, or premium
(if any) or interest on any Security of any series or the net proceeds received
from the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided for in
this Section 10.10 to the extent that, in such context, Additional
Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 10.10 and express mention of the payment
of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.


     If
the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to
that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear
interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and
any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment
of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate,
the Company shall furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent
or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series who are United
States Aliens without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or
other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any



 42
 









such
withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by
country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such
Holders of Securities and the Company will pay to such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by this Section 10.10. The Company
covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them
harmless against any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any
Officers’ Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 10.10.


ARTICLE 11


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES 


     Section 11.1
Applicability of Article.


     Securities
of any series that are redeemable in whole or in part before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable at the option of the Company in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1
for such Securities) in accordance with this Article 11.


     Section 11.2
Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.


     The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1
for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company
of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption
affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 45 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, 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 (i) prior to the expiration of any restriction on
such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture or (ii) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject
to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction or condition.


     Section 11.3
Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.


     If
less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the
Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
not previously called for redemption, on a pro-rata basis, or in the Trustee’s
discretion, by lot, or by such other method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate, provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of
any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less
than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.


     If
any Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before
termination of the conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as
may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.


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


     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.


     Section 11.4
Notice of Redemption.


     Notice
of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not
fewer than 30 nor more than 90 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register.



 43
 









     All
notices of redemption shall state:


          (1) the
Redemption Date,


          (2) the
Redemption Price (including accrued interest, if any, to be paid),


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


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


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


          (6) the
place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of
the Redemption Price,


          (7) if
applicable, the conversion price, the date on which the right to convert the
principal of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will
terminate, and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for
conversion,


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


          (9) the
CUSIP number or numbers and/or common codes of the Security being redeemed.


     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, provided that the Company shall have
prepared and provided to the Trustee the form of such notice, or, if acceptable
to the Trustee, provided sufficient information to enable the Trustee to
prepare such notice, in each case on a timely basis.


     Section 11.5
Deposit of Redemption Price.


     On
or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or
with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.3) 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.


     If
any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the
redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of any Holder of such
Security to receive interest thereon) be paid to the Company on Company
Request, or if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.


     Section 11.6
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 (and any
Additional Amounts) to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, 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 3.7.


     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 or, in
the case of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Securities’ Yield to
Maturity.



 44
 









     Section 11.7
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 its 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 Stated Maturity 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.


     Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, the Company and
any Affiliate of the Company may at any time purchase or otherwise acquire
Securities in the open market or by private agreement. Such acquisition shall
not operate as or be deemed for any purpose to be a redemption of the
indebtedness represented by such Securities. Any Securities purchased or
acquired by the Company may be delivered to the Trustee and, upon such
delivery, the indebtedness represented thereby shall be deemed to be satisfied.
Section 3.9 shall apply to all Securities so delivered.


ARTICLE 12


SINKING FUNDS 


     Section 12.1
Applicability of Article.


     The
provisions of this Article 12 shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.


     The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any
Securities is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,”
and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of
such Securities is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.”
Unless otherwise provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount
of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 12.2.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as
provided for by the terms of such Securities.


     Section 12.2
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 any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by
the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited
have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be
received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price,
as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.


     Section 12.3
Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.


     Not
fewer than 45 days prior (unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee) to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company
will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of
the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms
of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and
will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not fewer
than 30 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date
in the manner specified in Section 11.3 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 11.4. Such notice having been duly
given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in
the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

ARTICLE 13


DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE 


     Section 13.1
Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


     The
Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 13.2
or Section 13.3 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities,
as the case may be, designated pursuant to Section 3.1 as being
defeasible pursuant to such Sections 13.2 or 13.3, in
accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1
and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article 13.
Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.


     Section 13.2
Defeasance and Discharge.


     Upon
the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to
any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter
called “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the
Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:


          (1) the
rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set forth in such
Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest
on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Securities when payments
are due,


          (2) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4,
3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3,


          (3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and


          (4) this
Article 13.


Subject
to compliance with this Article 13, the Company may exercise its
option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 13.3
applied to such Securities.


     Section 13.3
Covenant Defeasance.


     Upon
the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 13.3
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be,


     (1) the
Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 8.1, 10.4,
10.5. 10.6, 10.7 or 10.8 and any covenants provided
pursuant to Sections 3.1(22) or 9.1(2) for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities and


     (2) the
occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.1(4) (with respect
to any of Sections 8.1, 10.4, 10.5. 10.6, 10.7
or 10.8 and any such covenants provided pursuant to Sections 3.1(22)
or 9.1(2)) and the occurrence of any other Event of Default specified
pursuant to Section 3.1 or Section 9.1(3) shall be deemed
not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such
Securities or any series of Securities as provided in this Section 13.3
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are
satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose,
such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, 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 specified Section or such
other covenant (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.1(4)
and the occurrence of any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1
or Section 9.1(3)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by
reason of any reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture
and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.



 46
 









     Section 13.4
Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


     The
following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 13.2
or Section 13.3 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be:


          (1) The
Company shall have deposited or caused to be deposited irrevocably with the
Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 6.9
and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article 13
applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities,


               (A) in
the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency of the United States
of America,


                    (i) cash
in currency of the United States of America in an amount, or


                    (ii) 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, an amount in cash, or


                    (iii) a
combination thereof, or


               (B) in
the case of Securities of a series denominated in currency other than that of
the United States of America,


                    (i) cash
in the currency in which such series of Securities is denominated in an amount,
or


                    (ii) Foreign
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, an amount in cash, or


                    (iii) a
combination thereof,


in
each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by
the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective
Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
Securities.


          (2) For
Securities denominated in United States dollars, in the event of an election to
have Section 13.2 apply to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel stating that


               (A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or


               (B) since
the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in either case clause (A) or (B) to the effect
that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such
Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to
such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount,
in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit,
Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.


          (3) For
Securities denominated in United States dollars, in the event of an election to
have Section 13.3 apply to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will
not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the
deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected with respect to such Securities
and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same
manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant
Defeasance were not to occur.


          (4) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause such Securities nor any other
Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, to be
delisted.


          (5) No
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any
such event specified in Sections 5.1(5) and (6), at any time on
or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood
that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).



 47
 









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


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


          (8) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or
exempt from registration thereunder.


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


     Section 13.5
Deposited Money, U. S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government
Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.


     Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money,
U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee
(solely for purposes of this Section 13.5 and Section 13.6,
the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 13.4 in respect of any Securities shall be held
in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but
money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.  The Company
shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding
Securities. Anything in this Article 13 to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to
time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 with
respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as
the case may be, with respect to such Securities.


     Section 13.6
Reinstatement.


     If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with
this Article 13 with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article 13
with respect to such Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent
is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 13.5
with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article 13;
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any
premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in
trust.
