inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be required to
comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto
or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities
of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.


 


SECTION 2.03               Denominations:  Provisions for Payment.


 


The
Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations
of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject
to Section 2.01(a)(12).  The
Securities of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and
at the rate specified with respect to that series.  The principal of and the interest on the
Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption
thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the
United States of America that at the time is legal tender for public and
private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that
purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.  Interest on the Securities shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.


 


The
interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series
shall be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular
record date for such interest installment. 
In the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof
is called for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular
record date with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such 


 


7

















 


Interest
Payment Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and
surrender of such Security as provided in Section 3.03.


 


Any
interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been
such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its
election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:


 


(1)           The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities
(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 such Security 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 not be more
than 15 nor 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 Securityholder at his or her 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 mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons
in whose names such Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered on such special record date.


 


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


 


Unless
otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution of the Company or one or more
indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of
Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 


 


8

















 


hereof,
the term “regular record date” as used in this Section with respect to a
series of Securities with respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series
shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the
month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the
first day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately preceding the
month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the
fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.


 


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


 


SECTION 2.04               Execution and
Authentications.


 


The
Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its President, or one of
its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers, or
its Secretary, or one of its Assistant Secretaries, under its corporate seal
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may
be in the form of a manual or facsimile signature.  The Company may use the facsimile signature
of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice President thereof, or of
any Person who shall have been a Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer thereof, or
of any Person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the President
or a Vice President, the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer or the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. 
The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal
and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities.  The Securities may contain
such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.


 


A
Security shall not be valid or obligatory for any purpose and shall not be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture, in each case, until authenticated
with a certificate of authentication manually signed by an authorized signatory
of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. 
Such certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence,
that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and that the Security is entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture.  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 written order of the Company for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its President or any
Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in
accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities.


 


In
authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully
protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and
terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture.


 


9

















 


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 that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.05               Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.


 


(a)           Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or
agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York, for other Securities of such series of authorized
denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto,
all as provided in this Section.  In
respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver
in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the
Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously
outstanding.


 


(b)           The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept,
at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by
the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of
Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. 
The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of
Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board
Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).


 


Upon
surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company
designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as
the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount.


 


All
Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer,
as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the
Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly
executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney
in writing.


 


(c)           No service charge shall be made for any
exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities
in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in
relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and
Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.


 


10

















 


(d)           The Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a
notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same
series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions
thereof called for redemption.  The
provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security,
subject to Section 2.11 hereof.


 


SECTION 2.06               Temporary
Securities.


 


Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
(printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such
temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions,
insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all
as may be determined by the Company. 
Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company
and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities of such series.  Without
unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive
Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such
series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders),
at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such
temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect
that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further
notice from the Company.  Until so exchanged,
the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same benefits
under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series authenticated and
delivered hereunder.


 


SECTION 2.07               Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.


 


In
case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding
sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as
aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for
the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. 
In every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to
the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by
them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or
theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s
Security and of the ownership thereof. 
The Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver
the same upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company.  Upon the issuance of any substituted
Security, 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. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature shall
become 


 


11

















 


mutilated
or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a
substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without
surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant
for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or
indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the
Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership
thereof.


 


Every
replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not
the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time,
or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the
same series duly issued hereunder.  All
Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or
statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.


 


SECTION 2.08               Cancellation.


 


All
Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or
registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the
Trustee.  In the absence of such request
the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures
and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company.  If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of
the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and
until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


SECTION 2.09               Benefits of
Indenture.


 


Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be
construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders
of the Securities any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein
contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit
of the parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities.


 


SECTION 2.10               Authenticating
Agent.


 


So
long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee
shall have the right to appoint.  Said
Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or
partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and 


 


12

















 


obligatory
for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  All references in this Indenture to the
authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include
authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined capital and
surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the
laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is doing
business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized under
such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or examination
by Federal or State authorities.  If at
any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
these provisions, it shall resign immediately.


 


Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. 
The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall)
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon resignation, termination or cessation of
eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible
successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company.  Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named
as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.


 


SECTION 2.11               Global Securities


 


(a)           If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01
that some or all of the Securities of a particular series are to be issued as a
Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security
that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to
the aggregate principal amount of, the Outstanding Securities of such series
which are to be issued as a Global Security, (ii) shall be registered in
the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the
Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect:  “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11
of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part,
only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a
nominee of such successor Depositary.”


 


(b)           Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.05,
the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole but not in part
and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to another nominee of the
Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series
selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.


 


(c)           If at any
time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it
is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any
time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Exchange Act, or
other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, 


 


13

















 


as
the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the
Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.05,
the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security.  In addition, the Company may at any time
determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a
Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no
longer apply to the Securities of such series. 
In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05,
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such
determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of
such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security.  Upon the exchange of the
Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by
the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange
for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. 
The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery
to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING

FUND PROVISIONS


 


SECTION 3.01               Redemption.


 


The
Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after
the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant
to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


SECTION 3.02               Notice of
Redemption.


 


(a)           In case the Company shall desire to exercise
such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of
any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, the Company shall,
or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the
Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage
prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 90
days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at
their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed.  Any notice that is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the registered holder receives the notice.  In any case, failure duly to give such notice
to the holder of any 


 


14

















 


Security of any series designated for redemption in whole or in part,
or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings
for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any other series.  In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
any such restriction.


 


Each
such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the
redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and
shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be
redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of
such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be
paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will
cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the
case.  If less than all the Securities of
a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that
series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular
Securities to be so redeemed.  In case
any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such
Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 


(b)           If less
than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give
the Trustee at least 30 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for
redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to
be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may
provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S.
dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of
such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be
redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the
numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part.  The Company may, if and whenever it shall so
elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or any
Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any
part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice
of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the
name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may
deem advisable.  In any case in which
notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain
with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security
Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts
therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee
or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required under the
provisions of this Section.

SECTION 3.03               Payment Upon Redemption.


 


(a)                                  If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided,
the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption and
interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on
and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company shall default in
the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any
such Security or portion thereof.  On
presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for
redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities
shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series,
together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if
the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date, the interest
installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered holder at
the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).


 


(b)                                 Upon presentation of
any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where
the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense
of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized denominations
in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so
presented.


 


SECTION 3.04               Sinking Fund.


 


The
provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.


 


The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,”
and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.”  If provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.  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 3.05               Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities.


 


The
Company (i) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any
Securities previously called for redemption) and (ii) may apply as a
credit Securities of a series that 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 


 


16

















 


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 3.06               Redemption of Securities for
Sinking Fund.


 


Not
less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05
and the basis for such credit and will, together with such Officers’
Certificate, 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 3.02
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 3.02.  Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Section 3.03.


 


ARTICLE IV


 


COVENANTS


 


SECTION 4.01               Payment of Principal, Premium and
Interest.


 


The
Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that series at the time and
place and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to such
Securities.


 


SECTION 4.02               Maintenance of Office or Agency.


 


So
long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to
maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of
New York, with respect to each such series and at such other location or
locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities
of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, (ii) Securities
of that series may be presented as herein above authorized for registration of
transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or
agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its President or a
Vice President and delivered to the trustee, designate some other office or
agency for such purposes or any of them. 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, notices and demands may
be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
notices and demands.


 


17

















 


SECTION 4.03       Paying Agents.


 


(a)                                  If the Company shall
appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the Securities,
other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying agent to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:


 


(1)                                  that it will hold all
sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether such sums have
been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;


 


(2)                                  that it will give the
Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such
Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and
payable;


 


(3)                                  that it will, at any
time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding
paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and


 


(4)                                  that it will perform
all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.


 


(b)                                 If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the
Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum
sufficient with monies held by all other paying agents to pay such principal
(and premium, if any) or interest so
becoming due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify
the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such
Securities) to take such action. 
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
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the
paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (an premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such
paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
this action or failure so to act.


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold
sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
and (ii) 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 


 


18

















 


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 terms and conditions 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.


 


SECTION 4.04               Appointment to Fill Vacancy in
Office of Trustee.


 


The
Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of
Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee,
so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.


 


SECTION 4.05               Compliance with Consolidation
Provisions.

with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of Default” means any
one or more of the following events that has occurred and is continuing:


 


(1)                                  the Company defaults
in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the Securities of
that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance
of such default for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid
extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with the
terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in
the payment of interest for this purpose;


 


(2)                                  the Company defaults
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the
Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and payable
whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any
payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to
that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such
Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto
shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;


 


(3)                                  the Company fails to
observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements with respect to
that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect
to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a
covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely
for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for
a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by
registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders
of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that
series at the time Outstanding;


 


21

















 


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


 


(5)                                  a court of competent

relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a
Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property, or (iii) orders
the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in
effect for 90 consecutive days.


 


(b)                                 In each and every such
case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that series shall have
already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series
then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal (or, if
any Securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the
principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series pursuant to Section 2.01(a)(16))
of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all
the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any
such declaration the same hall become and shall be immediately due and payable.


 


(c)                                  At
any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been
so declared due and payable, and before a judgment or decree for the payment of
the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that
series then Outstanding hereunder (or, by action at a meeting of holders of the
Securities of such series in accordance with Section 8.09, the holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding represented at such meeting),
by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:  (i) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration and (ii) any and
all Events of Default under this Indenture with respect to such series, other
than the nonpayment of principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on Securities of that series that shall have become due
solely because of such acceleration, shall have been remedied, cured or waived
as provided in Section 6.06.  No
such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent
default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d)                                 In case the Trustee
shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to Securities of that
series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued
or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any 


 


22

















 


other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee,
then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings,
the Company, and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been
taken.


 


SECTION 6.02               Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


(a)                                  The
Company covenants that (1) in case it shall default in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or any payment
required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that

shall have continued for a period of 90 Business Days, or (2) in case it
shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable,
whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon
declaration or otherwise, then, upon
demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of
the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that then shall
have been become due and payable on all such Securities for principal (and
premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon
the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of
such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of
interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and,
in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.


 


(b)                                 If the Company shall
fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute
any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or
final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the
Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the
moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that
series, wherever situated.


 


(c)                                  In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affected the
Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to
intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted
by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled
to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of
Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the
Company under this Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and
for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after
such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any 


 


23

















 


such
claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to
the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in
bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of
Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.


 


(d)                                 All rights of action
and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the terms
established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or
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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06,
be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series.


 


In
case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion
proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement contained in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


SECTION 6.03               Application of Moneys Collected.


 


Any
moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to a
particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at the
date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon
presentation of the Securities of that series, and notation thereon the

FIRST:  To the payment of costs and expenses of
collection and of all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06;
and


 


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


 


24

















 


SECTION 6.04               Limitation on Suits.


 


No
holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by
availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture
or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy
hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to the
Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof
with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of Default,
as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or
holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby; and (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series (or such
amount as shall have acted at a meeting of the holders of Securities of such
series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture) do not give the Trustee a
direction inconsistent with the request; provided, however, that no one or more
of such holders may use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another
holder or to obtain preference or priority over another holder.


 


Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, any other provisions of this
Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein
provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or
in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for
the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates or
redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such
holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is expressly understood,
intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security of such
series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee, that no one or
more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner
whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any other of such
Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any
other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all
holders of Securities of such series. 
For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section,
each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief
as can be given either at law or in equity.


 


SECTION 6.05               Rights and Remedies Cumulative;
Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


(a)                                  Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by
this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be deemed cumulative
and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or
the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce
the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this
Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such Securities.


 


25

















 


(b)                                 No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right
or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and continuing as
aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a
waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and, subject to the
provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or
by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.


 


SECTION 6.06               Control by Securityholders.


 


The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01,
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 such series; provided, however,
that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with
this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of Securities
of any other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the
Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability.  The holders either (a) through
the written consent of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding or (b) by action
at a meeting of holders of the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 8.09,
by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series then Outstanding represented at such meeting, may on behalf of the
holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the
performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to
Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a
default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by
the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such
default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in
accordance with Section 6.01(c)) and except in respect a provision hereof
which, under Section 9.02, cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the holders of each Outstanding Security affected; provided however
that this Section shall not limit the right of holders of Securities of a
series to rescind and annul any acceleration as set forth in Section 6.01.  Upon any such waiver, the default covered
thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture and the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right
consequent thereon.  The provisions which
otherwise would be automatically deemed to be contained in this Indenture
pursuant to Section (316)(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act are hereby
expressly excluded from this Indenture, except to the extent such provisions
are expressly included herein.


 


SECTION 6.07               Undertaking to Pay Costs.


 


All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such
holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may
in its discretion require, in any suit 


 


26

















 


for
the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the
filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of
such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series,
on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or established
pursuant to this Indenture.


 


ARTICLE VII


 


CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


SECTION 7.01               Certain Duties and
Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


(a)                                  The Trustee, prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a
series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to the
Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform
with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only such duties
as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall
be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.  In case an Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of a series has occurred (that has not been cured or waived),
the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of that series 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.


 


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


 


(1)                                  prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series
and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with respect to
that series that may have occurred:


 


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


 


(ii)                                  in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee 


 


27

















 


may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as
to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such
certificates or opinions
that 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 requirement of this Indenture;


 


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


 


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


 


(4)                                  None of the
provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or
risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in the
performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to
it.


 


SECTION 7.02               Certain Rights of Trustee.


 


Except
as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


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


 


(b)                                 Any request,
direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the
name of the Company, by the President or any Vice President and by the
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer
thereof (unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed
herein);


 


28

















 


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


 


(d)                                 The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the
Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not
been cured or waived) to exercise with respect to Securities of that series
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to 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;


 


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


 


(f)                                    The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order,
approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in
writing so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby
(determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition
to so proceeding.  The reasonable expense
of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the
Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and


 


(g)                                 The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or
powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with
due care by it hereunder.


 


SECTION 7.03               Trustee Not Responsible for
Recitals or Issuance of Securities.


 


(a)                                  The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
same.


 


29

















 


(b)                                 The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities.


 


(c)                                  The Trustee shall not
be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the
Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application
of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this
Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or
application of any moneys received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.


 


SECTION 7.04               May Hold Securities.


 


The
Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any
other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security
Registrar.


 


SECTION 7.05               Moneys Held in Trust.


 


Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee
shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the
purposes for which they were received, but need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law. 
The Trustee shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys
received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Company to pay
thereon.


 


SECTION 7.06               Compensation and Reimbursement.


 


(a)                                  The Company covenants
and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such
reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust), as the Company,
and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for all services
rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the
exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will
pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith. 
The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its officers,
agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part
of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim of liability in the premises.


 


30
















 


(b)           The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify
the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder.  Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the
Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Securities.


 


SECTION 7.07               Reliance on
Officers’ Certificate.


 


Except
as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of
the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or
desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering
or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in
respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be
conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to
the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture
upon the faith thereof.


 


SECTION 7.08               Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


If
the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning
of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the
Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.


 


SECTION 7.09               Corporate Trustee
Required; Eligibility.


 


There
shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder
which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or
of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act
as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least 50 million U.S.
dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by Federal,
State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid 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 Company
may not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by,
or under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.


 


SECTION 7.10               Resignation and
Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)           The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice
of resignation by mail, first class postage 


 


31

















 


prepaid,
to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon
the Security Register.  Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor
trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in
duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee.  If no successor
trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30
days after the mailing 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 Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of
that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at
least six months may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice,
if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.


 


(b)           In case at any time any one of the following
shall occur:


 


(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company
or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or
Securities for at least six months; or


 


(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


(3)           the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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, the Company may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is
stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder
of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that
holder and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and
appoint a successor trustee.


 


(c)           The holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at
any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the
Trustee and the Company and may appoint a

(d)           Any resignation or removal of the Trustee
and appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a
series pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided

SECTION 7.11               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) 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, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to
act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and
delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or 


 


33

















 


removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein,
such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no
further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the
performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this
Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by
such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.


 


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


 


(e)           Upon acceptance of appointment by a
successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit
notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage
prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the
Security Register.  If the Company fails
to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be
transmitted at the expense of the Company.


 


SECTION 7.12               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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the
provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding.  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.

The
Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act,

the Trust Indenture Act.  A Trustee who
has resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of

ARTICLE VIII


 


CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


SECTION 8.01               Evidence of Action
by Securityholders.


 


Whenever
in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the
giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the
fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or
specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such
holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed
in writing.


 


If
the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the
Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance
a record date for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled
to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  If such a record date is fixed, such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may
be given before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders
for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed
or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Securities of that series shall be computed as of the record date; provided,
however, that no such authorization, agreement or consent by such
Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall
become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than
six months after the record date.


 


SECTION 8.02               Proof of Execution
by Securityholders.


 


Subject
to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument
by a Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or
proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be
sufficient if made in the following manner:


 


(a)           The fact and date of the execution by any
such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable
to the Trustee.


 


(b)           The ownership of Securities shall be proved
by the Security Register of such 


 


35

















 


Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.


 


(c)           The Trustee may require such additional
proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem
necessary.


 


SECTION 8.03               Who May be
Deemed Owners.


 


Prior
to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the
Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and
treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books
of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such
Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or
writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of, premium, if
any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all
other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent
nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 8.04               Certain Securities
Owned by Company Disregarded.


 


In
determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent of
waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by
the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any
Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common
control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series
shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any
such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver,
only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded.  The Securities
so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding
for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Company or any such other obligor. 
In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken
upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.


 


SECTION 8.05               Actions Binding on
Future Securityholders.


 


At
any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of the majority
or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder
of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in
the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action may, by
filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided
in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security.  Except as aforesaid any such action taken by
the holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and
upon all future holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued
in exchange therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof,
irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such



 


36

















 


Security.  Any action taken by the holders of the
majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a
particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of
all the Securities of that series.

Meetings May Be Called.


 


A
meeting of holders of any series of Securities may be called at any time and

meeting and the percentage of the principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum at such meeting,
shall be given, in the manner provided in Section 13.04 hereof, not less
than 21 nor more than 180 days prior to the date fixed for the meeting to
holders of Outstanding Securities of such series.


 


(b)           In case at
any time the Company, pursuant to a Board Resolution, or the holders of at
least 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall
have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the holders of Securities of
such series for any purpose specified in Section 8.06 hereof, by written
request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be taken at
the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have
made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after
receipt of such request or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to
be held as provided herein, then the Company or the holders of Securities of
such series in the amount specified, as the case may be, may determine the time
and the place in The City of New York or Boston, Massachusetts for such meeting
and may call such meeting for such purposes by giving notice thereof as
provided in paragraph (a) of this Section.

To
be entitled to vote at any meeting of holders of Securities of a given series,
a Person shall be (a) a holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of

Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman (which

by the Company or by holders of Securities of a given series as provided in Section 8.07(b) hereof,
in which case the Company or the holders of Securities of such series calling

With
the written consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series or by action at a
meeting of holders of the Securities of such series in accordance with Section 8.09,
by the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of

units other than that stated in the Securities of such series.


 


It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of any series
affected thereby under this Section to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent
shall approve the substance thereof.

Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or
of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be
and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities

Securities
of any series affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered
after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions
of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form
approved by the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any
exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture.  If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, to any
modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture

the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent

in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental indenture. 
The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive

the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.


 


Promptly
after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the
Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses
appear upon the Security Register.  Any
failure of the Trustee to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not,
however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all
such Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to
become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the
date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited
with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with
respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the
provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4,01, 4.02, 4.03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05

to Section 11.05, all moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and

Any
moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the

premium or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not
applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for two years
after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid
to the Company or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust in each case, promptly after the end of any such two-year period or, at
the request of the Company, on a later date specified by the Company; and
