opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous.


 


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


 


Section 1.5            Acts
of Holders; Record Dates.


 


(a)           Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture
to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (either physically or by
means of a facsimile or an electronic transmission, provided that such
electronic transmission is transmitted through the facilities of a Depositary)
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. 
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


 


8

















 


(subject to Section 315 of
the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company if
made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(e)           Without limiting the foregoing, a
Holder entitled to give or 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 different part
of such principal amount.


 


(f)            The Company may set any day as the
record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of
such series, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  With regard to any record date set pursuant
to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series
on such record date (or their duly appointed agents), and only such Persons,
shall be entitled to give or take the relevant action, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date.


 


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 to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or


 


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

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, to each Holder affected by such event, at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date,
and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice.  In any case where notice to
Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.  Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner
herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such
Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 1.8            Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 1.11         Separability
Clause.


 


In case any provision in
this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the remaining provisions shall remain valid, legal and enforceable.


 


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, the holders of Senior Debt 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.


 


To the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, the Company hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of any Federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan
in The City of New York, New York in any suit, action or proceeding based on or
arising out of or relating to this Indenture or any Securities and irrevocably
agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined
in any such court.  The Company
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any objection which
it may have to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action or proceeding
brought in an inconvenient forum.  The
Company hereby irrevocably designates and appoints
                                    ,
New York, New York (the “Process Agent”) as its authorized agent for purposes
of this Section 1.13, it being understood that the designation and
appointment of the Process Agent as such authorized agent shall become
effective immediately without any further action on the part of the
Company.  The Company further agrees
that, unless otherwise required by law, service of process upon the Process
Agent and written notice of said service to the Company mailed by prepaid
registered first class mail or delivered to the Process Agent at its principal
office, shall be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon the
Company in any such suit or proceeding. 
The Company further agrees to take any and all action, including the
execution and filing of any and all such documents and instruments as may be
necessary, to continue such designation and appointment of the Process Agent in
full force and effect so long as the Company has any outstanding obligations
under this Indenture.  To the extent the
Company has or hereafter may acquire any immunity from jurisdiction of any
court or from any legal process (whether through service of notice, attachment
prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution, executor or otherwise) with
respect to itself or its property, the Company hereby irrevocably waives such
immunity in respect of its obligations under this Indenture to the extent
permitted by law.


 


Section 1.14         Legal
Holidays.


 


In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the
Securities of any series that specifically states that such provision shall
apply in lieu of this Section 1.14)) payment of interest or principal and
any premium need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or
at the Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period
from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity,
as the case may be.


 


Section 1.15         Incorporators,
Shareholders, Officers and Directors of the Company Exempt from Individual
Liability.


 


No recourse under or upon
any obligation, covenant or agreement of or contained in this Indenture or of
or contained in any Security or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in
respect thereof, or in any Security or because of the creation of any
indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, member, officer, manager or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or any successor Person, either directly or through the
Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute
or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise, it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby


 


11

















 


 expressly waived and released as a condition
of, and as a part of the consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and
the issue of the Securities.


 


Section
1.16         Force Majeure.


 


In no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder
arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its control,
including strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or terrorism, civil
or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or acts of God, and
interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, communications or computer
(software and hardware) services; it being understood that the Trustee shall
use reasonable efforts which are consistent with accepted practices in the
banking industry to resume performance as soon as practicable under the
circumstances.


 


Section
1.17         Waiver of Jury Trial.

CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the

extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), which
shall accrue from the date of such default in payment to the date payment of

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

shareholder, member, officer, manager or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor Person, either directly or through
the Company or any successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment, penalty
or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such liability is hereby
expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as a condition of,
and as part of the consideration for, the Securities and the execution of the
Indenture.

the Company (a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect
of the Securities (except for certain obligations described in the Indenture),

Indenture, in each case if the Company deposits, in trust, with the Trustee
money or U.S. Government Obligations (or a combination thereof) which through
the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide money, in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal of
and interest on the Securities, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

The Securities may be issued

of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities of the
series pursuant to Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 and except for any

of the series is payable or the method of determination thereof;


 


(4)           the rate or rates at which the Securities of the series
shall bear interest, if any, or the formula, method or provision pursuant to
which such rate or rates are determined, the date or dates from which such

Payment Dates on which such interest shall be payable and the Regular Record
Date for the interest payable on any Interest Payment Date;


 


(5)           the place or places where, subject to the provisions of Section 10.2,

and this Indenture may be served;

which and the terms and conditions upon which Securities of the series may be
redeemed, in whole or in part, at the option of the Company;


 


(7)           the obligation, if any, of the Company to redeem or

(13)         any deletions from, modifications of or additions to the
Events of Default set forth in Section 5.1 or the covenants of the Company

20

Security of such series) only upon receipt of certain certificates or other

above and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined in the manner
provided, in the Officer’s Certificate referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto.


 


All Securities of any one
series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for increases in
the aggregate principal amount of such series of Securities and issuances of
additional Securities of such series or for the establishment of additional
terms with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


If any of the terms of the
series are established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, a
copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by an
authorized officer or other authorized person on behalf of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officer’s
Certificate setting forth, or providing the manner for determining, the terms
of the series.


 


With respect to Securities
of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, such Board Resolution or Officer’s
Certificate may provide general terms for Securities of such series and provide
either that the specific terms of particular Securities of such series shall be
specified in a Company Order or that such terms shall be determined by the
Company or one or more agents thereof designated in an Officer’s Certificate,
in accordance with a Company Order.


 


Section 3.2            Denominations.


 


The Securities of each
series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.  In the absence of any such provisions 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.


 


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 President, its Chief Financial Officer or any of its
Vice Presidents and need not be attested. 
The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual
or facsimile.


 


21
















 


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, thereafter 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.  If the forms or terms of the
Securities of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions as 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 such
documents as it may reasonably request. 
The Trustee shall also be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,


 


(a)           the form or forms of such Securities
has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;


 


(b)           the terms of such Securities 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 of a series offered in a Periodic Offering,
to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel; and


 


(c)           that such Securities when
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions and assumptions specified in such Opinion
of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to the following
limitations: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization,
liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights, or to general equity principles, (ii) the availability of
equitable remedies being subject to the discretion of the court to which
application therefor is made; and (iii) such other usual and customary
matters as shall be specified in such Opinion of Counsel.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 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 Officer’s 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 time
of authentication of each


 


22

















 


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.


 


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 or forms 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.


 


Each Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication.


 


No Security shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate upon any Security
shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security 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.


 


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.


 


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


 


Section 3.5            Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange.


 


The Company shall cause to
be kept at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City of New York or in any other office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment required by Section 10.2 a register (the register maintained in
such office 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 and of transfers of Securities.  The Trustee is hereby appointed as the
initial “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided, and the office of the Bank of New
York Mellon, which, at the date hereof, is located at


 


23

















 


101
Barclay Street, New York, New York 10004, is the initial office or agency in
the Borough of Manhattan where the Securities Register will be maintained.  The Company may at any time replace such Security
Registrar, change such office or agency or act as its own Security
Registrar.  The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any change of the Security Registrar or of the
location of such office or agency.


 


Upon surrender for registration
of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency maintained
pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series and
tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount.


 


At the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations and of
a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at such office or agency. 
Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
which 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 or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security
Registrar duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized
in writing.


 


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


 


The Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of
any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series
selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) 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.


 


Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Indenture and except as otherwise specified with respect to
any particular series of Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1, a
Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may
not be transferred, except as a whole by the Depositary for such series to a
nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such
Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such
successor Depositary.  Every Security
authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange
for or in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a Global Security except as
provided in the two paragraphs immediately following.


 


If at any time the
Depositary for any Securities of a series represented by one or more Global
Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such
Securities shall no longer be eligible to continue as Depositary


 


24

















 


under
Section 1.1 or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to
such Securities.  If a successor
Depositary for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days
after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility,
the Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.1 that such Securities be
represented by one or more Global Securities shall no longer be effective and
the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities of such series, will
authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive registered
form without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or
Securities representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security or
Securities registered in the names of such Persons as the Depositary shall
direct.


 


The Company may at any time
and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued
in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by
a Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute and the
Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of
the Definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver,
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any
authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such
Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities registered in the
names of such Persons as the Depositary shall direct.


 


If at any time an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the
Securities of any series and the Security Registrar has received a request from
the Depositary to issue Definitive Securities in lieu of all or a portion of
the Global Securities of such series the Company will execute and the Trustee,
upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of the
Definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities
of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in any authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities registered in the names of such Persons as
the Depositary shall direct.


 


If specified by the Company
pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Securities represented by a Global
Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global
Security in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series and
tenor in definitive registered form on such terms as are acceptable to the
Company and such Depositary.  Thereupon,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of Securities in definitive registered form,
shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,


 


(1)           to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Security
or Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as
requested by such Person, in an aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security; and


 


(2)           to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination
equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities
authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (1) above.


 


Every Person who takes or
holds any beneficial interest in a Global Security agrees that:


 


(a)           the Company and the Trustee may deal with the Depositary
as sole owner of the Global Security and as the authorized representative of
such Person;


 


(b)           such Person’s rights in the Global Security shall be
exercised only through the Depositary and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreement between such Person and the Depositary and/or direct and
indirect participants of the Depositary;


 


(c)           the Depositary and its participants make book-entry
transfers of beneficial ownership among, and receive and transmit distributions
of principal and interest on the Global Securities to, such Persons in
accordance with their own procedures; and


 


25

















 


(d)           none of the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of any of
them will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a
Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records
relating to such beneficial ownership interests.


 


Section 3.6            Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.


 


If any mutilated Security is
surrendered to the Trustee, together with, in proper cases, such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them
and any agent of any of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same series and 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 its 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.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


The provisions of this Section 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; Payment of Defaulted Interest.


 


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.


 


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 shall be paid
by the Company as provided in clause (1) or (2) below, at its
election in either case:


 


26

















 


(1)           The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner.  The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more
than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment.  The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in
the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of such
series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. 
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)           If the Company does not elect to make payment of Defaulted
Interest pursuant to clause (1) above, the Company shall 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 Company.


 


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


 


Section 3.8            Persons
Deemed Owners.


 


Except as otherwise provided
as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of Securities,
prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name
such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Sections 3.5
and 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever,
whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee nor
any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


No holder of any beneficial
interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary shall have
any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such
Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent thereof as
the owner of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.


 


27

















 


Section 3.9            Cancellation.


 


All Securities surrendered
for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it.  The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may
deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the
Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly 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.  All canceled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with its customary practices,
and the Trustee shall thereafter deliver to the Company a certificate with
respect to such disposition.


 


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
year of 360 days consisting of twelve 30-day months.


 


Section 3.11         CUSIP
Numbers.


 


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

(2)           the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums

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 voluntary


 


29

















 


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):


 


(1)           default in the payment of any interest upon any Security
of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default
for a period of 30 days (whether or not such payment is prohibited by the
provisions of Article Fourteen hereof); or


 


(2)           default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any, on) any Security of that series at its Maturity (whether or not such
payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article Fourteen hereof); or


 


(3)           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 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 90 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default
or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice
of Default” hereunder; or


 


(4)           the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any
Bankruptcy Law (a) commences a voluntary case, (b) consents to the
entry of any order for relief against it in an involuntary case, (c) consents
to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property, or (d) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;
or


 


(5)           a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or
decree under any Bankruptcy Law that (a) is for relief against the Company
in an involuntary case, (b) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all
or substantially all of its property, or (c) orders the liquidation of the
Company; and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90
consecutive days; or


 


(6)           default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when
due; or


 


(7)           any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities
of that series in accordance with Section 3.1.


 


Section 5.2            Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


 


If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of 25% (or such
other percentage specified in the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture
establishing such series) in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all
of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon
any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in
clause (4) or (5) of Section 5.1 occurs, the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without
further action or notice.


 


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


 


30

















 


Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article Five 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 all Securities of that series,


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(2)           all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that
series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.


 


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 installment of
interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such
default continues for a period of 60 days (whether or not such payment is
prohibited by the provisions of Article Fourteen hereof), or


 


(2)           default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof (whether or not such
payment is prohibited by the provisions of Article Fourteen hereof),


 


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


 


If the Company fails to pay
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 decreed
to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.


 


31
















 


If an Event of Default with
respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may
in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of
the Holders of Securities of such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem prudent 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, their property or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,


 


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


 


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


 


and any custodian, receiver,
assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any
such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee or directly to the Holders and 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,
compromise, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or
the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect
of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the
Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar
committee.


 


Section 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 instituted
by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


32

















 


Section 5.6            Application
of Money Collected.


 


Any money collected by the
Trustee pursuant to this Article Five shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest,
upon presentation of the Securities 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;


 


SECOND: Subject to Article Fourteen,

principal and any premium and interest, respectively; and


 


THIRD: The balance, if any,
to the Company.


 


Section 5.7            Limitation
on Suits.


 


No Holder of any Security of
any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:


 


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


 


(2)           the Holders of not less than 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 furnished to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity or security 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 indemnity or security has failed to institute any such proceeding;
and


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
any premium and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on such Security on
the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed


 


33

















 


in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.


 


Section 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
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.


 


To fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, 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 Five 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.


 


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


 


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


 


(2)           such direction shall not be overly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders;


 


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


 


(4)           subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee
shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction that exposes it to
personal liability.


 


34

















 


Section 5.13         Waiver
of Past Defaults.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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 any court may in its discretion require,
in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant, other than the Trustee, in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’
fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but (1) 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 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).


 


Section 5.15         Waiver
of Stay or Extension Laws.


 


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

THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 6.1            Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.


 


(a)           Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default,


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(3)           the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount

relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
series; and


 


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


 


36

















 


(d)           Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of

series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such
series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of
such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have
been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a Default
in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security
of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect
to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee
or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in
good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of
the Holders of Securities of such series; and, provided, further, that in the
case of any Default of the character specified in Section 5.1(3) with
respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 90 days after the occurrence thereof.

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 the
Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall have no responsibility for their
correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent makes any
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds

38

















 


Section 6.7            Compensation,
Reimbursement and Indemnity.


 


The Company agrees:


 


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


 


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


 


(3)           to indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers,
directors, agents and employees for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred arising out of or in connection with the

are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
Bankruptcy Law.


 


The provisions of this Section 6.7
shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the
defeasance of the Securities.

the Trust Indenture Act this Indenture with respect to the Securities of more
than one series.


 


Section 6.9            Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at all times be
a Trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having a combined capital and surplus required by the Trust Indenture
Act, subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If
such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published.  The Trustee shall not be an obligor upon the
Securities or an


 


39

















 


Affiliate
thereof.  If at any time the Trustee
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article Six.


 


Section 6.10         Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)           No resignation or removal of the
Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.


 


(b)           The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company.  If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 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 any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series.


 


(c)           The Trustee may be removed at any
time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company at least 60 days prior to the
effectiveness of such removal. 


 


(d)           If at any time:


 


(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act 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, upon
not less than 60 days’ notice to the Trustee, (i) the Company by a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (ii) 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.


 


(e)           If the Trustee shall resign, be
removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it
being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect
to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time
there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 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


 


40

















 


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,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(f)            The Company shall give notice of
each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the
manner provided in Section 1.7 within 60 days after such resignation,
removal or appointment.  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.


 


(a)           In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor
Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.


 


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


 


41

















 


respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.


 


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


 


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


 


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 all or
substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article Six, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto.  In case any Securities
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.


 


Section 6.13         Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.


 


Upon and so long as the
Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee is subject to
Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor
relationship listed in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  A Trustee who has assigned or been removed is
subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent indicated.  For purposes of Section 311(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act,


 


(1)           the term “cash transaction” means any transaction in which
full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after
delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders
drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;


 


(2)           the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred
by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing,
manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and
which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien
upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising
from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the
security, provided the security is received by the Trustee simultaneously with
the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the
making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation.


 


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 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


 


42

















 


authentication,
such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf
of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication
executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $100,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.  If such Authenticating Agent publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published.  If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.


 


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


 


An Authenticating Agent may
resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the
Company at least 60 days prior to the effectiveness of such resignation.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the
agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. 
Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination,
or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a
successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY
TRUSTEE AND COMPANY


 


Section 7.1            Company
to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.


 


The Company will furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Trustee:


 


(a)           semi-annually, not more than 15 days
after each Regular Record Date for a series of Securities, a list for such
series of Securities, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of
the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of such series as of such
Regular Record Date, and


 


(b)           at such other times as the Trustee
may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any
such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15
days prior to the time such list is furnished; provided, however, that if and
so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar, no such list need be
furnished with respect to such series of Securities.


 


Section 7.2            Preservation
of Information; Communications to Holders.


 


(a)           The Trustee shall preserve, in as
current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of Holders
contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.1
and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity
as Security Registrar.  The Trustee may
destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt
of a new list so furnished.


 


(b)           If three or more Holders (herein
referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish to
the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security for
a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and
such application states that the applicants desire to communicate with other
Holders with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the
Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form


 


44

















 


of proxy or other communication
which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five
business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either


 


(i)            afford such applicants access to the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), or


 


(ii)           inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
Holders whose names and addresses appear in the information preserved at the
time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), and as to the
approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other
communication, if any, specified in such application.


 


If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such
applicants access to such information, the Trustee shall, upon the written
request of such applicants, mail to each Holder whose name and address appear
in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a) a
copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such
request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the
material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender the
Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission, together
with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect
that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best
interest of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law.  Such written statement shall specify the basis
of such opinion.  If the Commission,
after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written
statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such
objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for
hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an
order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the
renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.


 


(c)           Every
Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the
Company and the Trustee that none of the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent
of any of them shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any
such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders in accordance
with Section 7.2(b), regardless of the source from which such information
was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of
mailing any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.2(b).


 


Section 7.3            Reports
by Trustee.


 


Any Trustee’s report
required pursuant to Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act shall
be dated as of May 15, and shall be transmitted within 60 days after May 15
of each year, commencing with the year         ,
by mail to all Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register.  A copy of each such report
shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee
with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the
Commission and with the Company.  The
Company will notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock
exchange.


 


45

















 


Section 7.4            Reports
by Company.


 


The Company shall:


 


(a)           file
with the Trustee, within 30 days after the Company is required to file the same
with the Commission, copies of the annual reports and of the information,
documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing
as the Commission may from time to time by rules and regulations
prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act; or,
if the Company is not required to file information, documents or reports
pursuant to either of said Sections, then it shall file with the Trustee and
the Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from
time to time by the Commission, such of the supplementary and periodic
information, documents and reports which may be required pursuant to Section 13
of the Exchange Act in respect of a security listed and registered on a
national securities exchange as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and
regulations;


 


(b)           file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance
with rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission,
such additional information, documents and reports with respect to compliance
by the Company with the conditions and covenants of this Indenture as may be
required from time to time by such rules and regulations; and


 


(c)           transmit by mail to all Holders, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, within 30 days after the filing
thereof with the Trustee, such summaries of any information, documents and
reports required to be filed by the Company pursuant to clauses (a) and (b) of
this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed
from time to time by the Commission.

successor Person had been named as the Company herein, and thereafter, except
in the case of a lease, the predecessor Person shall be relieved of all
obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the Securities and may
liquidate and dissolve.

Section 9.1            Supplemental
Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

(2)           to add to the
covenants of the Company such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or
provisions as the Company shall consider to be appropriate for the benefit of
the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions are to be for the benefit of less than
all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being
included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or
power herein conferred upon the Company and to make the occurrence, or the
occurrence and continuance, of a Default in any such additional covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of Default permitting the
enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as
herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for
a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or
longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an
immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may limit the remedies
available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right
of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series to waive such an Event of Default; or


 


(3)           to add any
additional Defaults or Events of Default in respect of all or any series of

necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer form,
registrable or not registrable as to principal, and with or without interest
coupons; or


 


47

















 


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


 


(6)           to secure the
Securities of any series; or


 


(7)           to establish the
form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1,
including to reopen any series of any Securities as permitted under Section 3.1;
or


 


(8)           to evidence and
provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or change any of
the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee,
pursuant to the requirements of Section 6.11(b); or


 


(9)           to cure any
ambiguity, defect or inconsistency; or


 


(10)         to modify, eliminate
or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary
to effect the qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act or
under any similar federal statute subsequently enacted, and to add to this
Indenture such other provisions as may be expressly required under the Trust
Indenture Act.


 


The Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental

not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.


 


Section 9.2            Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Holders.


 


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


 


(1)           change the Stated
Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest
on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of
interest thereon or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce
the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security that would

or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is


 


48

















 


payable,
or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment
on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date), or


 


(2)           reduce the
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the
consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or

of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, provided, however,
that this clause (3) shall not be deemed to require the consent of any
Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and
concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 6.11(b) and 9.1(9).


 


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


 


It shall not be necessary
for any Act of Holders under this Section 9.2 to approve the particular
form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such
Act shall approve the substance thereof.


 


Section 9.3            Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


In executing, or accepting
the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or
the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee

thereby.


 


Section 9.5            Conformity
with Trust Indenture Act.


 


Every supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the requirements
of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.


 


49

















 


Section 9.6            Reference
in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.


 


Securities of any series
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article Nine may, and shall if required by the Trustee,
bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for
in such supplemental indenture.  If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared and executed by the Company and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities
of such series.


 


ARTICLE 10


 


COVENANTS


 


Section 10.1         Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest.


 


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


 


Section 10.2         Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


The Company will maintain an
office or agency where Securities 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 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.


 


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.  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.


 


Except as otherwise
specified with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1,
the Company hereby initially designates as the Place of Payment for each series
of Securities The City and State of New York, and initially appoints the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office as the Company’s office or agency for
each such purpose in such city.


 


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


 


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


 


Whenever the Company shall
have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to
each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest on any Securities
of that series,


 


50

















 


deposit
with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such
Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.  For
purposes of this Section 10.3, should a due date for principal of and any
premium or interest on, or sinking fund payment with respect to any series of
Securities not be on a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next
Business Day without any interest for the period from the due date until such
Business Day.


 


The Company will cause each
Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and
deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying
Agent will:


 


(1)           hold all sums held
by it for the payment of the principal of and any premium or interest on Securities
of that series in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until
such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided;


 


(2)           give the Trustee
notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities
of that series) in the making of any payment of principal and any premium or
interest on the Securities of that series; and


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 10.4         Existence.


 


Subject to Article Eight,
the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if the Board of


 


51

















 


Directors
shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the
conduct of the business of the Company.


 


Section 10.5         Statement
by Officers as to Default.


 


Annually, within 150 days after
the close of each fiscal year beginning with the first fiscal year during which
one or more series of Securities are Outstanding, the Company will deliver to
the Trustee a brief certificate (which need not include the statements set
forth in Section 1.3) from the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer of the Company as to his or
her knowledge of the Company’s compliance (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided herein) with all conditions and
covenants under the Indenture and, if the Company shall be in Default,
specifying all such Defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such
officer has knowledge.


 


Section 10.6         Waiver
of Certain Covenants.


 


The Company may omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
in Section 10.4 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the
time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all affected series (voting
as one class) 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.


 


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


 


ARTICLE 11


 


REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES


 


Section 11.1         Applicability
of Article.


 


Securities of any series
which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Eleven.


 


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.  In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all the Securities of any series, the Company shall,
at least 15 days prior to the last date for the giving of notice of such
redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of
the Securities to be redeemed.  In the
case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any
restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company
that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of the


 


52

















 


Securities
of the series to be redeemed, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officer’s 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 of the Securities of
such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series.


 


The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in
the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal
amount thereof to be redeemed.  If the
Securities of any series to be redeemed consist of Securities having different dates
on which the principal is payable or different rates of interest, or different
methods by which interest may be determined or have any other different tenor
or terms, then the Company may, by written notice to the Trustee, direct that
the Securities of such series to be redeemed shall be selected from among the
groups of such Securities having specified tenor or terms and the Trustee shall
thereafter select the particular Securities to be redeemed in the manner set
forth in the preceding paragraph from among the group of such Securities so specified.


 


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 less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be
redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.


 


All
notices of redemption shall state:


 


(1)           the Redemption Date,


 


(2)           the Redemption
Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof,


 


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


 


(4)           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,


 


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


 


53

















 


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


 


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


 


Section 11.5         Deposit
of Redemption Price.


 


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


 


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 to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that unless
otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series as contemplated in
Section 3.1, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or
one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business
on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.


 


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


 


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 his attorney duly authorized in
writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall, within 30 days
after the surrender of such Security, authenticate and deliver to the Holder of
such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same
series and 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.


 


ARTICLE 12


 


SINKING FUNDS


 


Section 12.1         Applicability
of Article.


 


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


 


54
















 


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


 


Section 12.2         Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


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


 


Section 12.3         Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


Not less than 45 days prior
to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities (unless a
shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that
series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of
cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2 and
stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not been
previously so credited, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to
be so delivered.  Not less than 30 days
before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities
to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 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


 


Section 13.1         Applicability
of Article.


 


The provisions of this Article shall
be applicable to each series of Securities except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series.


 


Section 13.2         Legal
Defeasance.


 


In addition to discharge of
the Indenture pursuant to Section 4.1, if the Company satisfies the
conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (6) below (hereinafter
“defeasance”), then (a) the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness on all the Securities of such a series on the 91st day
after the date of the deposit referred to in clause (1) below, and (b) the
provisions of


 


55

















 


this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series shall no longer be in
effect, except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4
and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when such payments
are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities
under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 10.2 and 10.3, (C) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties, and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Thirteen.  Upon receipt of a Company Request following a
defeasance, the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging such defeasance. 
The conditions to be satisfied for a defeasance to occur are the
following:


 


(1)           The Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.9 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as
trust funds in trust for the purposes of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of
the Holders of the Securities of such series cash or non-callable U.S.
Government Obligations or a combination thereof, 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
the principal of and any premium and interest on the Outstanding Securities of
such series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of
principal or interest, as the case may be, or on any Redemption Date
established pursuant to clause (3) below;


 


(2)           The Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel based on the fact that (a) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling, or (b) since the date hereof, there has been a change in
the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the Securities of such series
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such deposit and defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax
on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have
been the case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred;


 


(3)           If the Securities
are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been
duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the
Trustee shall have been made;


 


(4)           No Default or Event
of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;


 


(5)           Such defeasance
shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 3.1; and


 


(6)           The Company has
delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel,
each stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the
defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied with.


 


56

















 


For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company and any other obligor upon the Securities of
such series shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire debt
represented by the Securities of such series, which shall thereafter be deemed
to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 13.4 and the rights
and obligations referred to in clauses (A) through (D), inclusive, of the
first paragraph of this Section 13.2, and to have satisfied all its other
obligations under the Securities of such series and this Indenture insofar as
the Securities of such series are concerned.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Subsection 5.1(4) or
5.1(5), or an event which with lapse of time would become such an Event of
Default, shall occur during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
the deposit referred to in clause (1) or, if longer, ending on the day
following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the
Company in respect of such deposit, then, effective upon such occurrence, the
defeasance pursuant to this Section 13.2 and such deposit shall be
rescinded and annulled, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions.


 


Section 13.3         Covenant
Defeasance.


 


The Company and any other
obligor, if any, shall be released on the 91st day after the date of the
deposit referred to in clause (1) below from its obligations under
Sections 7.4, 8.1 and 10.4 with respect to the Securities of any series on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant
defeasance”), and the Securities of such series shall thereafter be deemed to
be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, waiver, consent or declaration or other action or Act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but shall continue to be deemed Outstanding for all other purposes
hereunder.  For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Securities of such series,
the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of
any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, whether
directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to such Section or
by reason of any reference in such Section to any other provision herein
or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1, but, except as specified
above, the remainder of this Indenture and the Securities of such series shall
be unaffected thereby.  The following
shall be the conditions to application of this Section 13.3:


 


(1)           The Company has
irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another
trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.9 who shall agree to
comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen applicable to it) as
trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities of such series cash or U.S. Government Obligations or a
combination thereof, 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 the principal of and any premium
and interest on the Outstanding Securities of such series on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest, as the case
may be, or on any Redemption Date established pursuant to clause (2) below;


 


57

















 


(2)           If the Securities
are to be redeemed prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been
duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the
Trustee shall have been made;


 


(3)           No Event of Default,
or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become such an
Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit;


 


(4)           The Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel which shall confirm that
the holders of the Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or
loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant
defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and the
same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit
and covenant defeasance had not occurred;


 


(5)           Such defeasance
shall be effected in compliance with any additional terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith
pursuant to Section 3.1; and


 


(6)           The Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for relating to the
covenant defeasance contemplated by this provision have been complied with.


 


Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in Subsection 5.1(4) or
5.1(5), or an event which with lapse of time would become such an Event of
Default, shall occur during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
the deposit referred to in clause (1) or, if longer, ending on the day
following the expiration of the longest preference period applicable to the
Company in respect of such deposit, then, effective upon such occurrence, the
defeasance pursuant to this Section 13.3 and such deposit shall be
rescinded and annulled, and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions.


 


Section 13.4         Deposited
Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust.


 


Subject to the provisions of
the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and U.S. Government
Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee - collectively, for purposes of this Section 13.4,
the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 in respect of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent), 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 such money need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
The Trustee shall be fully protected if it invests such cash or funds
received with respect to such U.S. Government Securities in shares of
investment companies that are registered under the Investment Company Act that
invest solely in U.S. Government Obligations.


 


The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.2
or 13.3 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 the Outstanding Securities of such series.


 


Section 13.5         Repayment
to Company; Qualifying Trustee.


 


The Trustee and any Paying
Agent promptly shall pay or return to the Company upon Company Request any
money and U.S. Government Obligations held by them at any time that, in the
opinion of a


 


58

















 


nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the same
certification given at the time of the deposit pursuant to Section 13.2 or
13.3, as applicable), are not required for the payment of the principal of and
any interest on the Securities of any series for which money or U.S. Government
Obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3.


 


The provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 10.3 shall apply to any money held by the Trustee or
any Paying Agent under this Article Thirteen that remains unclaimed for
one year after the Maturity of any series of Securities for which money or U.S.
Government obligations have been deposited pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3.


 


Any trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 13.2 or 13.3 for the purpose of holding trust funds
deposited pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement
in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a
certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for
herein to the related defeasance or covenant defeasance have been complied
with.  In no event shall the Trustee be
liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee.


 


ARTICLE 14


 


SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


 


Section 14.1         Securities
Subordinated to Senior Debt.


 


(1)           The Company, for
itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each Holder of
Securities, by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the
payment of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on each and all
of the Securities is hereby expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the
manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the prior payment in full
of all Senior Debt of the Company.


 


(2)           If (A) the
Company shall default in the payment of any principal of, or premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on any Senior Debt of the Company when the same becomes
due and payable, whether at maturity or at a date fixed for prepayment or by
declaration of acceleration or otherwise, or (B) any other default shall
occur with respect to Senior Debt of the Company and the maturity of such
Senior Debt has been accelerated in accordance with its terms, then, upon
written notice of such default to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of
Senior Debt of the Company or any trustee therefor, unless and until, in either
case, the default has been cured or waived or has ceased to exist, or, any such
acceleration has been rescinded or such Senior Debt has been paid in full, no
direct or indirect payment (in cash, property, securities, by set-off or
otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of, or
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities, or in respect
of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the
Securities other than those made in capital stock of the Company (or cash in
lieu of fractional shares thereof).


 


(3)           If any default
occurs (other than a default described in paragraph (2) of this Section 14.1)
under the Senior Debt of the Company, pursuant to which the maturity thereof
may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as
may be required to effect such acceleration) or at the expiration of any
applicable grace periods (a “Senior Nonmonetary Default”), then, upon the
receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice thereof (a “Payment
Blockage Notice”) from or on behalf of holders of such Senior Debt of the
Company specifying an election to prohibit such payment and other action by the
Company in accordance


 


59

















 


with
the following provisions of this paragraph (3), the Company may not make any
payment or take any other action that would be prohibited by paragraph (2) of
this Section 14.1 during the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”)
commencing on the date of receipt of such Payment Blockage Notice and ending on
the earlier of (A) the date, if any, on which the holders of such Senior
Debt or their representative notifies the Trustee that such Senior Nonmonetary
Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist or the Senior Debt to which such
Senior Nonmonetary Default relates is discharged or (B) the 179th day
after the date of receipt of such Payment Blockage Notice.  Notwithstanding the provisions described in
the immediately preceding sentence, the Company may resume payments on the
Securities following such Payment Blockage Period.


 


Section 14.2         Distribution
on Dissolution, Liquidation and Reorganization; Subrogation of Securities.


 


Upon any distribution of
assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or
reorganization of the Company, whether in bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities of
the Company or otherwise (subject to the power of a court of competent
jurisdiction to make other equitable provision reflecting the rights conferred
in this Indenture upon the Senior Debt of the Company and the holders thereof
with respect to the Securities and the Holders thereof by a lawful plan or
reorganization under applicable bankruptcy law),


 


(1)           the holders of all
Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled to receive payment in full of the
principal thereof, and premium, if any, and any interest thereon, due thereon
before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or interest on
overdue amounts thereof;


 


(2)           any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee (on behalf of the Holders) would be
entitled except for the provisions of this Article Fourteen shall be paid
by the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making such payment or
distribution, whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating
trustee or otherwise, directly to the holders of Senior Debt of the Company or
their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may
have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid
on account of the principal of, and premium, if any, and any interest on the
Senior Debt of the Company held or represented by each, to the extent necessary
to make payment in full of all Senior Debt of the Company remaining unpaid,
after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the holders of
such Senior Debt; and


 


(3)           in the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or distribution of assets of the
Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, shall be received by the Trustee (on
behalf of the Holders) or the Holders of the Securities before all Senior Debt
of the Company is paid in full, such payment or distribution shall be paid over
to the holders of such  Senior Debt or
their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Debt may
have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid until all such Senior Debt shall have been paid in
full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to the
holders of such Senior Debt.


 


60

















 


Subject to the payment in
full of all Senior Debt of the Company, the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the rights of the holders of such Senior Debt to receive payments
or distributions of cash, property or securities of the Company applicable to
Senior Debt of the Company until the principal of, and premium, if any, and any
interest on, the Securities shall be paid in full and no such payments or
distributions to the Holders of the Securities of cash, property or securities
otherwise distributable to the Senior Debt of the Company shall, as between the
Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company,
and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by the Company to
or on account of the Securities.  It is
understood that the provisions of this Article Fourteen are and are
intended solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders
of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Debt of the
Company, on the other hand.  Nothing
contained in this Article Fourteen or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the
Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, and the Holders
of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is unconditional and
absolute, to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of, and premium,
if any, and any interest on, the Securities as and when the same shall become
due and payable in accordance with their terms, or to affect the relative
rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than
the holders of Senior Debt of the Company, nor shall anything herein or in the
Securities prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising
all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Fourteen of
the holders of such Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of
the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.  Upon any payment or distribution of assets of
the Company referred to in this Article Fourteen, the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or
agent or other person making any distribution to the Trustee for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders
of Senior Debt of the Company and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount
thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon,
and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fourteen.


 


The Trustee, however, shall
not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt of the
Company.  The Trustee shall not be liable
to any such holder if it shall pay over or distribute to or on behalf of
Holders of Securities or the Company moneys or assets to which any holder of
Senior Debt of the Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Fourteen.  The rights and claims of the Trustee under Section 6.7
shall not be subject to the provisions of this Article Fourteen.


 


If the Trustee or any Holder
of Securities does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form
required in any proceeding referred to above prior to 30 days before the
expiration of the time to file such claim in such proceeding, then the holder
of any Senior Debt of the Company is hereby authorized, and has the right, to
file an appropriate claim or claims for or on behalf of such Holder of
Securities.


 


Section 14.3         Payments
on Securities Permitted.


 


Nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Securities shall (1) affect the obligation of
the Company to make, or prevent the Company from making, at any time except as
provided in Sections 14.1 and 14.2, payments of principal of, and premium, and
any interest on the Securities or (2) prevent the application by the
Trustee of any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on
account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities
unless the Trustee shall have received at its Corporate Trust Office written
notice of any event prohibiting the making of such payment two Business Days (A) prior
to the date fixed for such payment, (B) prior to the execution of an
instrument to satisfy and discharge this Indenture based upon the deposit of
funds under Section 4.1(1)(b), (C) prior to the execution of an
instrument acknowledging the defeasance of such Securities pursuant to Section 13.2

Section 14.4         Authorization
of Holders of Securities to Trustee to Effect Subordination.


 


Each Holder of Securities by
his acceptance thereof, whether upon original issue or upon transfer or
assignment, authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such
action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as
provided in this Article Fourteen and appoints the Trustee his
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.


 


Section 14.5         Notices
to Trustee.


 


The Company shall give
prompt written notice to a responsible officer of the Trustee located at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee of any fact known to the Company which
would prevent the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article Fourteen or any other provisions of this
Indenture, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent (other than the Company)
shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Debt of the
Company or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment of
moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until the Trustee
or such Paying Agent shall have received (in the case of the Trustee, at its
Corporate Trust Office) written notice thereof from the Company or from the
holder of any Senior Debt of the Company or from the trustee for or
representative of any Senior Debt of the Company together with proof
satisfactory to the Trustee of such holding of such Senior Debt or of the
authority of such trustee or representative; provided, however, that if at
least two Business Days prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any
such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation,
the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on any
Security) or the date on which the Trustee shall execute an instrument
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the defeasance of
Securities pursuant to Section 13.2 or the date on which a deposit
pursuant to clause (1) of Section 13.3 is made, the Trustee shall not
have received with respect to such moneys or the moneys deposited with it as a
condition to such satisfaction and discharge or defeasance the notice provided
for in this Section 14.5, then, anything herein contained to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive
such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for which they were received,
and shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary, which may be received
by it on or after such two Business Days prior to such date.  The Trustee shall be entitled to conclusively
rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a person representing himself
to be a holder of Senior Debt of the Company (or a trustee or representative on
behalf of such holder) to establish that such a notice has been given by a
holder of Senior Debt of the Company or a trustee or representative on behalf
of any such holder.  In the event that
the Trustee determines in good faith that further evidence is required with
respect to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Debt of the Company to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Fourteen,
the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt of the Company held
by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of
such Person under this Article Fourteen and, if such evidence is not
furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial
determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment.


 


Section 14.6         Trustee
as Holder of Senior Debt.


 


The Trustee shall be
entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Fourteen in respect
of any Senior Debt of the Company at any time held by it to the same extent as
any other holder of Senior Debt of the Company and nothing in this Indenture
shall be construed to deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.


 


62

















 


Section 14.7         Modification
of Terms of Senior Debt.


 


Any renewal or extension of
the time of payment of any Senior Debt of the Company or the exercise by the
holders of Senior Debt of the Company of any of their rights under any
instrument creating or evidencing such Senior Debt, including without
limitation the waiver of default thereunder, may be made or done all without
notice to or assent from Holders of the Securities or the Trustee.


 


No compromise, alteration,
amendment, modification, extension, renewal or other change of, or waiver,
consent or other action in respect of, any liability or obligation under or in
respect of, or of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of any indenture or
other instrument under which any Senior Debt of the Company is outstanding or
of such Senior Debt, whether or not such release is in accordance with the
provisions of any applicable document, shall in any way alter or affect any of
the provisions of this Article Fourteen or of the Securities relating to
the subordination thereof.


 


Section 14.8         Trustee’s Rights to Compensation,
Reimbursement of Expenses and Indemnification.


 


The Trustee’s rights to compensation, reimbursement of
expenses and indemnification under Sections 5.6 and 6.7 are not subordinated.
