under the procedures of such U.S. Depository to make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly
appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders. If such
a record date is fixed, the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies,
and only such Persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after
such record date. No such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act shall be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record
date.




          (2) The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing
referred to in this Section 1.4 may be proved in any reasonable manner; and the Trustee may in any
instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.




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




          (4) The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any
Person, and the date of the commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, may
be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary,
by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary reasonably acceptable to the Company,
wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be
satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such
certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company
may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (i) another certificate or
affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or
(ii) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (iii) such Bearer
Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (iv) such Bearer Security is no
longer Outstanding. The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held
by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of the commencement and the date
of the termination of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the Company and
the Trustee deem sufficient.

          (5) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of any Registered Securities any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its
option (but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act. If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the
close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining
whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act,
and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided
that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders of Registered Securities 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.




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




Section 1.5. Notices, Etc. to the Trustee and the Company.




     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of Holders
or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to,
or filed with,



          (1) the Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder
if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
or




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

Section 1.6. Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.




     Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,



          (1) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and
not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and




          (2) such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if
published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if such Securities are then
listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an Authorized Newspaper in such city as
the Company shall advise the Trustee that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at
least twice, the first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second
such publication not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such notice.




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



     In case by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized
Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to
Holders of Bearers Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer
Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to
such Holders for every purpose hereunder. Neither failure to give notice by publication to Holders
of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the
sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of Registered Securities as provided above.



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



Section 1.7. Language of Notices.




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

Section 1.8. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.




     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any duties under any required
provision of the Trust Indenture Act imposed hereon by Section 318(c) thereof, such required
provision shall control.

or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



Section 1.12. Benefits of Indenture.




     Nothing in this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon, express or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating

Securities or Coupons, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this
Indenture.



Section 1.13. Governing Law.




     This Indenture, the Securities and any Coupons shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements made or instruments
entered into and, in each case, performed in said state.



Section 1.14. Legal Holidays.




     Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, in any case
where any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security, or the last date on
which a Holder has the right to convert or exchange Securities of a series that are convertible or
exchangeable, shall be a Legal Holiday at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon other than a provision in any Security or
Coupon that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be
made at such Place of Payment on such date, and such Securities need not be converted or exchanged
on such date but such payment may be made, and such Securities may be converted or exchanged, on
the next succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and
effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity or on such
last day for conversion or exchange, and no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such
date or at



-15-









 







such time for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Maturity
or last day for conversion or exchange, as the case may be, to such next succeeding Business Day.



Section 1.15. Counterparts.




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



Section 1.16. Judgment Currency.




     The Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law,
that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert the sum
due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the
Securities of any series (the “Required Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be
rendered (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York the
requisite amount of the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day
preceding the day on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under
this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied
by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with
clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the
Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as
an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency
the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the
Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York
Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or
a day on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law,
regulation or executive order to be closed.



Section 1.17. No Security Interest Created.




     Nothing in this Indenture or in any Security, express or implied, shall be construed to
constitute a security interest under the Uniform Commercial Code or similar legislation, as now or
hereafter enacted and in effect in any jurisdiction where property of the Company or its
Subsidiaries is or may be located.

either directly or through the Company, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood
that this Indenture and the obligations issued hereunder are solely corporate obligations, and that
no such personal liability whatever shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, the

authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons or did not hold such offices at the date
of original issuance of such Securities or Coupons.



     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the
Company, to the Trustee for authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officer’s
Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such Securities referred to in
Section 3.1 and a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been
delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to the
provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled
to



-22-









 







receive, and (subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be
fully protected in relying upon,



          (1) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:



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



               (b) all conditions precedent to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, have been complied with and that such Securities and
Coupons, when completed by appropriate insertions, executed under the Company’s corporate seal and
attested by duly authorized officers of the Company, delivered by duly authorized officers of the
Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legally valid and binding obligations of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement
thereof may be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws relating to or
affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general principles of equity (regardless of
whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law) and will entitle the Holders
thereof to the benefits of this Indenture; such Opinion of Counsel need express no opinion as to
the availability of equitable remedies;



               (c) all laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery by the Company of such
Securities and Coupons, if any, have been complied with; and



               (d) this Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and



          (2) an Officer’s Certificate stating that, to the best knowledge of the Persons executing such
certificate, all conditions precedent to the execution, authentication and delivery of such
Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, have been complied with, and no event which
is, or after notice or lapse of time would become, an Event of Default with respect to any of the
Securities shall have occurred and be continuing.



     If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel and an Officer’s Certificate at the time of issuance of
each Security, but such opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications, shall be delivered
at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series. After any such first
delivery, any separate written request by an Authorized Officer of the Company or any person
designated in writing by an Authorized Officer that the Trustee authenticate and deliver Securities
of such series for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such
Securities continue to have been complied with and that no Event of Default with respect to any of
the Securities has occurred or is continuing.



     The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to
authenticate any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by
counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken.



-23-









 





     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security
and any Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified in or pursuant to
this Indenture.



     No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 2.2 or 6.12
executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by the manual signature of
one of its authorized officers. Such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Except as permitted by Section 3.6 or 3.7, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any
Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been detached and
cancelled.



Section 3.4. Temporary Securities.




     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the
Trustee and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided
in Section 3.3, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed, typewritten,
mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of
the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in
or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons and with
such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers of the
Company executing such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.



     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause
definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of
definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms and provisions that are identical to
those of any temporary Securities, such temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such
definitive Securities upon surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such
Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal
amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations of the same series and containing
identical terms and provisions; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security, except as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in
exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or
pursuant to this Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series.



Section 3.5. Registration, Transfer and Exchange.




     With respect to the Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to
be kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security
Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Registered Securities of
such series and of



-24-









 







transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency shall be the
“Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to
this Indenture or the Securities, the Trustee shall be the initial Security Registrar for each
series of Securities. The Company shall have the right to remove and replace from time to time the
Security Registrar for any series of Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall
be effective until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities shall
have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such appointment by the Company. In the
event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a
series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register for such series at
all reasonable times. There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.



     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any
Office or Agency for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered
Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, of a like
aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing
identical terms and provisions.



     At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any
authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series. Whenever any Registered
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities
of such series containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this
Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be
exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured
Coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce
any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be
effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and
the Trustee in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the
surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such
Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such series located outside
the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of
such series and like tenor after the close of business at such Office or Agency on (i) any Regular
Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such
Office or Agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall
be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of
payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such
Coupon



-25-









 







shall be returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or
Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered Security issued in
exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



     If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the
option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities
upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to
such series.



     Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately
preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture,
any global Security shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities only if (i) the Depository is
at any time unwilling, unable or ineligible to continue as depository and a successor depository is
not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the date the Company is so informed in writing,
(ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such
global Security shall be so exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Securities. If the beneficial owners of interests in a global
Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as the result of an
event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of the preceding sentence, then without unnecessary
delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and
denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same series, containing
identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global
Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to time by the U.S. Depository or
such other Depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto, and in
accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the U.S. Depository or such other Depository,
as the case may be (which instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or
accompanied by an Officer’s Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall be
specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such
purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without
charge. The Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each
portion of such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such
global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer
Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for the
global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered
Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof, but
subject to the satisfaction of any certification or other requirements to the issuance of Bearer
Securities; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed
and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further, that (unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a
global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States.
Promptly following any such



-26-









 







exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depository or
the U.S. Depository, as the case may be, or such other Depository or U.S. Depository referred to
above in accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above. If a Registered
Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a global Security after the close of business at
the Office or Agency for such Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular
Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the
next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date for such Security and before
the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed date for payment of
interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the
case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such global Security
shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



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



     Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for
exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar for such
Security) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for such Security duly executed by the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.



     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange, or redemption of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge and any other expenses (including fees and expenses of the Trustee) that may be
imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4, 9.5 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of like tenor and the same series under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business
on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in the case of any Security to be redeemed in
part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security selected for
redemption except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer
Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and the same series, provided
that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written
instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture or (iv) to issue, register
the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been surrendered
for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be
so repaid.



Section 3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.




     If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is
surrendered to the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 3.6, the Company shall
execute



-27-









 







and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same
series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if
any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.



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



     Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.6, in case any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or Coupon;
provided, however, that payment of principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2,
be payable only at an Office or Agency for such Securities located outside the United States and,
unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on Bearer Securities and
any Additional Amounts with respect to such interest shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto.



     Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.6, the Company may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.



     Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining thereto issued pursuant to this Section 3.6
in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining thereto or the
destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities
of such series and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.



     The provisions of this Section 3.6, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to particular Securities or generally, shall be exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent
lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons.



-28-









 






			
	Section 3.7.	 	Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and
Certain Additional Amounts Preserved.





     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name such
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest.



     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not be punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder thereof on the relevant
Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or (2) below:



          (1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Person in whose
name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close
of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed by the Company in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on such Registered Security, the Special
Record Date therefor 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest as provided in this
clause (1). The Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest shall be not more
than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
10 days after notification to the Trustee of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of
such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the
Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its
discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
to the Person in whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable
pursuant to the following clause (2).



          (2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Security 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 (2), such payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.



-29-









 





     Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular
series pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, at the option of the Company, interest on
Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an
account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States.



     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 3.5, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security.



     In the case of any Registered Security of any series that is convertible into other securities
of the Company or exchangeable for securities of another issuer, which Registered Security is
converted or exchanged after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date (other than any Registered Security with respect to which the Stated Maturity
is prior to such Interest Payment Date), interest with respect to which the Stated Maturity is on
such Interest Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such
conversion or exchange, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for)
shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more predecessor
Registered Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except
as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any
Registered Security which is converted or exchanged, interest with respect to which the Stated
Maturity is after the date of conversion or exchange of such Registered Security shall not be
payable.



Section 3.8. Persons Deemed Owners.




     Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such Registered Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 3.5 and
3.7) interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered Security
shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of
any Bearer Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon
for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Security or Coupon shall be overdue,
and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected
by notice to the contrary.



     No Holder of any beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such
Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
as the owner of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the
Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for
any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests
of a global Security



-30-









 







or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.



Section 3.9. Cancellation.




     All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer,
exchange or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons, as
well as Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be
cancelled promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may
have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly
by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by or pursuant to this
Indenture. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the
Trustee, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their return to it.



Section 3.10. Computation of Interest.




     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or in any Security, interest on
the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



ARTICLE 4.




SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE




Section 4.1. Satisfaction and Discharge.




     Upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of
further effect [and the provisions of Article 17 shall cease to be effective,] with respect to any
series of Securities specified in such Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the
Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when



          (1) either



               (a) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all Coupons

surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange
whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 3.5, (ii) Securities and
Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or
paid as provided in Section 3.6, (iii) Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series called for

-31-









 





               (b) all Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, any Coupons
appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, (i) have become due
and payable, or (ii) will become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or
(iii) if redeemable at the option of the Company, are to be called for redemption within one year
under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the

principal of, any premium and interest on, and any Additional Amounts with respect to such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of such deposit (in the case of
Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be;



          (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company
with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto; and



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



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



     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 6.7 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Company and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.3, 10.2 and 10.3, with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any,
with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.4 (but only to the extent that the
Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect
of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.1(1)(b)), and with respect to any rights to
convert or exchange such Securities into securities of the Company or another issuer shall survive.



     Section 4.2. Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.



          (1) Unless pursuant to Section 3.1, either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or
within a series under clause (2) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable with respect to the
Securities of such series or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under
clause (3) of this Section 4.2 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such
series, then such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 4.2 (with such
modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to any Securities),
shall be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at
its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 4.2(2) or Section 4.2(3) be applied to such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Section 4.2.



-32-









 





          (2) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 4.2(2) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations[, and the provisions of Article 17 shall cease to be effective,]
with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the
conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 4.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of
clause (5) of this Section 4.2 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i)
and (ii) below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto, and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (i) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
clause (4) of this Section 4.2 and as more fully set forth in such clause, payments in respect of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any,
with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due,
and any rights of such Holder to convert such Securities into other securities of the Company or
exchange such Securities for securities of another issuer, (ii) the obligations of the Company and
the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3 and with respect
to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by Section 10.4
(but only to the extent that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such Securities exceed
the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) below),
and with respect to any rights to convert such Securities into other securities of the Company or
exchange such Securities for securities of another issuer, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 4.2. The Company may exercise its
option under this Section 4.2(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under clause (3)
of this Section 4.2 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.



          (3) Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this Section 4.2(3) apply with respect
to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its obligations under,
to the extent specified pursuant to Section 3.1(19), any covenant applicable to such Securities[,
and the provisions of Article 17 shall cease to be effective as it relates to the aforementioned
obligations and covenants,] with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this
Section 4.2 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any
direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof)
in connection with any such obligation or covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with
respect to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Company may omit
to comply with, and shall have no liability in respect of, any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such Section or such other covenant, [or Article,] whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant[, or Article,]
or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant[, or Article,] to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not constitute a
default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1(4) or 5.1(7) or otherwise, as the case may be,
but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons
appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.



-33-









 





          (4) The following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of this
Section 4.2 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto:



               (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 6.8 who shall agree to comply with the
provisions of this Section 4.2 applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in Dollars or
in such Foreign Currency in which such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the Currency in which such
Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest,
if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto at the Stated Maturity
of such principal or installment of principal or premium or interest and (z) any mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto on the days on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.



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



               (c) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit and, with respect to defeasance only, at any
time during the period ending on the 123rd day after the date of such deposit (it being understood
that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).



               (d) In the case of an election under clause (2) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from the
Internal Revenue Service a letter ruling, or there has been published by the Internal Revenue
Service a Revenue Ruling, or (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a
result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the
same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.



-34-









 





               (e) In the case of an election under clause (3) of this Section 4.2, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such covenant defeasance had not occurred.



               (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that,
after the 123rd day after the date of deposit, all money and Government Obligations (or other
property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) pursuant to this clause (4)
to be held in trust will not be subject to any case or proceeding (whether voluntary or
involuntary) in respect of the Company under any Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law, or any decree or order for relief in respect of the Company
issued in connection therewith.



               [(g) At the time of the deposit, (i) no default in the payment of any principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Senior Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, (ii) no
event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness shall have resulted in such Senior
Indebtedness becoming, and continuing to be, due and payable prior to the date on which it would
otherwise have become due and payable (unless payment of such Senior Indebtedness has been made or
duly provided for), and (iii) no other event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
shall have occurred and be continuing permitting (after notice or lapse of time or both) the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of such holders) to declare such Senior
Indebtedness due and payable prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and
payable.]



               (h) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance or covenant defeasance under clause (2) or (3) of this Section 4.2 (as
the case may be) have been complied with.



               (i) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 4.2(4), such defeasance or covenant
defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 3.1.



          (5) Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Security, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of
which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 3.1 or the terms of
such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in
respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 4.2(4)(a) has been made,
the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed
to have been, and will be, fully discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any), and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to,
such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time
as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of
such election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made pursuant to clause (a)
above, the



-35-









 







applicable market exchange rate for such Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior
to each payment date, or (y) with respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange
rate for such Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion
Event.



     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for
purposes of this Section 4.2(5) and Section 4.3, the “Trustee”) against any tax, fee or other
charge, imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to this
Section 4.2 or the principal or interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and
any Coupons appertaining thereto.



     Anything in this Section 4.2 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay
to the Company from time to time upon Company Request, any money or Government Obligations (or
other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4) of this Section 4.2
which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed
in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof
which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
applicable, in accordance with this Section 4.2.



Section 4.3. Application of Trust Money.




     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money and Government
Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 3.1) (including the proceeds
thereof) deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2 in respect of any Outstanding
Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by
the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including
the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any; but such
money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law. [Money and Government Obligations so held in trust shall not be subject to the
provisions of Article 17 except to the extent set forth in Section 17.1.] Money and Government
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 (and held by it or a Paying Agent)
for the payment of Securities subsequently converted shall be returned to the Company upon Company
Request.



Section 4.4. Reinstatement.




     If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 4.2(2) or 4.2(3) shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit
had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 4.3 with
respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company
makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Securities following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

Section 5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.




     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 5.1) occurs and is continuing,
then the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series, or such
lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders),
and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser amount shall become immediately due and
payable.



     If an Event of Default specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 5.1 occurs, all unpaid
principal of and accrued interest on the Outstanding Securities of that series (or such lesser
amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series) shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder of any Security of that series.



     At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities of any series
has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the
Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if



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



               (a) all overdue installments of any interest on and Additional Amounts with respect to all
Securities of such series and any Coupon appertaining thereto,



               (b) the principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon and any Additional Amounts
with respect thereto at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities,



-38-









 





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



               (d) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 6.7; and



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



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



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




     The Company covenants that if



          (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto when such interest or Additional
Amounts shall have become due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or




          (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security or any
Additional Amounts with respect thereto at their Maturity,



the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders
of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the whole amount of money then due and
payable with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest upon
the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate
or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount
of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7.




     If the Company fails to pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the
preceding paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as
trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the money so
due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the
same against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out
of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, wherever situated.



     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the
Holders of Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate
judicial



-39-









 







proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such
Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce any
other proper remedy.



Section 5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




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



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




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



and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities or any Coupons to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of
such payments directly to the Holders of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.




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



Section 5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities or Coupons.




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

Section 5.6. Application of Money Collected.




     [Subject to Article 17, any/Any] money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts,
upon presentation of the Securities or Coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation
thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:



     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 6.7;



     SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and any Coupons
for principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts in respect of which or for the
benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and Coupons for
principal and any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, respectively;



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



Section 5.7. Limitations on Suits.




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



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




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




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




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




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



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

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





     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or Coupon
shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of,
any premium and (subject to Sections 3.5 and 3.7) interest on, and any Additional Amounts with
respect to, such Security or payment of such Coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated
Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such Security or Coupon (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment at the option of such Holder if
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such repayment is due) and to convert such
Security in accordance with Article 16 hereof, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any
such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.



Section 5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.




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



Section 5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.




     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a Security
or a Coupon is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy,
to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the extent permitted by
law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.



Section 5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.




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



-42-









 





Section 5.12. Control by Holders of Securities.




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



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




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




          (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of Securities
of such series not joining in such action.




Section 5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.




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



          (1) in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts
with respect to, any Security of such series or any Coupons appertaining thereto, or




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




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



Section 5.14. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.




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



-43-









 





Section 5.15. Undertaking for Costs.




     All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of any
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section 5.15 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Security on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment, on or after the date for repayment) or for the
enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any Security into other securities in
accordance with its terms.

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 requirements of this Indenture but not to verify or confirm the
contents thereof.




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

for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct,

faith on its part, request and rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;



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



          (5) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in
it by or pursuant to this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Securities

against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such
request or direction;



          (6) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated

faith that is believed to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon
it by this Indenture, unless the Trustee’s conduct constitutes negligence;



          (12) the permissive rights of the Trustee to do things enumerated in this Indenture shall not
be construed as a duty unless so specified herein; and



          (13) the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or actual knowledge of any Event of
Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written
notice of any Event of Default is received by the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.5 hereof. Except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain or inquire as
to the performance or observance of any of the terms, conditions, covenants or agreements herein or
in any series of Securities.



Section 6.3. Notice of Defaults.




     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series entitled
to receive reports pursuant to Section 7.3(3), notice of such default hereunder actually known to a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any), or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts or any sinking fund or purchase fund
installment with respect to, any Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine
that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of the Holders of Securities and
Coupons of such series. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event which
is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series.



Section 6.4. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.




     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, and in any Coupons shall be taken as the statements of the Company and neither the



-46-









 







Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or the Coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to execute
and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its obligations hereunder and
that the statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company
are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor
any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of the
Securities or the proceeds thereof.



Section 6.5. May Hold Securities.




     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
Person that may be an agent of the Trustee or the Company, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of
the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if
it were not the Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other
Person.

hereunder except as otherwise agreed to in writing with the Company.



Section 6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.




     The Company agrees:



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




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




          (3) to indemnify the Trustee and its agents, officers, directors and employees for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on their part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust
or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending themselves against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the Trustee’s
negligence or bad faith.




     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or



-47-









 







collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of,
and premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities or any Coupons
appertaining thereto.



     To the extent permitted by law, any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee after a
default specified in or pursuant to Section 5.1 is intended to constitute an expense of
administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes of
this Section 6.7 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any
Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 6.7.



     The provisions of this Section 6.7 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or the earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall apply with equal force and
effect to the Trustee in its capacity as Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or Security Registrar.



Section 6.8. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.



     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of

under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and
surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of at least
$50,000,000, and that is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article.



Section 6.9. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.



          (1) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.10.




          (2) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor
Trustee required by Section 6.10 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.




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




          (4) If at any time:




               (a) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b)
of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written request therefor
by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of such series for at least six months, or



-48-









 





               (b) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.8 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or



               (c) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series,
or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been
a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself
and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor
Trustee or Trustees.



          (5) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of such series (it being understood that any
such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of
such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10. If,
within one year after such resignation, removal or incapacity, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to
the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.10,
become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent
supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of
Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.10, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may,
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.




          (6) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to the Holders of Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are issued as Bearer
Securities, by publishing notice of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of
Payment located outside the United States. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.




          (7) In no event shall any retiring Trustee be liable for the acts or omissions of any
successor Trustee hereunder.

Section 6.10. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.




          (1) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of
the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or such successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee, upon payment of its charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to
Section 10.3, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided
for in Section 6.7.



          (2) Upon the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee
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, such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is
not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is
not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change
any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust, 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 notice given to, or received by, or 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 removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein, such retiring Trustee shall 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 with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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 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 such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates and
subject to Section 10.3 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, subject to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 6.7.



          (3) Upon request of any Person appointed hereunder as a successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming



-50-









 







to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (1) or
(2) of this Section, as the case may be.



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



Section 6.11. 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 by sale or otherwise to all or
substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered
by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated
with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.



Section 6.12. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.




     The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue, exchange,
registration of transfer, partial redemption or partial repayment or pursuant to Section 3.6, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid
and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference
is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication
and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent.



     Each Authenticating Agent must be acceptable to the Company and, except as provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all times be a Corporation that would be permitted by the

COVENANTS




Section 10.1. Payment of Principal, Any Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

series that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms
thereof, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture. Any interest due on any Bearer
Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such
interest, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto
for such interest as they severally mature.



Section 10.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency.




     The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or
Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided
below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange, where Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be
surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served. If
Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to
any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place of Payment for such
series which is located outside the United States where Securities of such series and any Coupons
appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that if the
Securities of such series are listed on The Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic
of Ireland or the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located outside the United
States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall maintain a Paying Agent in
London, Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the United States, as the case may
be, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchange. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
Office or Agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Office or
Agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
except that Bearer Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented
and surrendered for payment at the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities
as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its
agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment of principal,
premium, interest or Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made at any
Office or Agency in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by
transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if
amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars, payment of
principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any such
Security may be made at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency
designated by the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if)
payment of the full



-59-









 







amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all offices outside the
United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is
illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.



     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an Office or
Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company shall
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change
in the location of any such other Office or Agency. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture, the Company hereby designates as the Place of Payment for each series of Securities
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and initially appoints the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee as the Office or Agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York for such purpose. The Company may subsequently appoint a different Office or Agency in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York for the Securities of any series.



     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, if and so
long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be
payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this
Indenture, then the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent.



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




     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of
Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or
Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency
unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series)
sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.



     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it
shall, on or prior to each due date of the principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a
sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies
described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal or any premium, interest or
Additional Amounts so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.



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

or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture;




          (2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series; and




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




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



     Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee
or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of any series or any
Coupon appertaining thereto and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or any such
premium or interest or any such Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable shall be paid
to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as an
unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,
before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed
to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or both, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication or mailing nor shall it be later than two years after such principal and
any premium or interest or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.



Section 10.4. Additional Amounts.




     If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional
Amounts as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this
Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any Coupon or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series
established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are,
were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts (if

applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in
those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.



     Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of the
applicable series, if the Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at
least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to such series of Securities
(or if the Securities of such series shall not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on
which a payment of principal is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of
principal or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the
below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee and the principal
Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate instructing the
Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of such series shall be made to Holders of Securities of such
series or the Coupons appertaining thereto who are United States Aliens without withholding for or
on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of such
series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify
by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of
Securities or Coupons, and the Company agrees to pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the
Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants to indemnify
the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or
expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in
connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officer’s Certificate
furnished pursuant to this Section 10.4.

Section 10.7. Corporate Existence.




     Subject to Article 8, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and that of each of its
Restricted Subsidiaries and their respective rights (charter and statutory) and franchises;
provided, however, that the foregoing shall not obligate the Company or any of its Restricted
Subsidiaries to preserve any such right or franchise if the Company or any such Restricted
Subsidiary shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of
its business or the business of such Restricted Subsidiary and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to any Holder.



Section 10.8. Waiver of Certain Covenants.




     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or
condition set forth in Section 10.7 with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time
for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such
instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no
such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and
the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full
force and effect.

               (b) to the best of his or her knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company has complied
with all the conditions and covenants imposed on it under this Indenture throughout such year, or,
if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such condition or covenant, specifying each
such default known to him or her and the nature and status thereof, and (b) no event has occurred

would become an Event of Default pursuant to clause (4) of Section 5.1.

ARTICLE 11.




REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES




Section 11.1. Applicability of Article.




     Redemption of Securities of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required
by the terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and
(except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.



Section 11.2. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.




     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of (a) less than all of
the Securities of any series or (b) all of the Securities of any series, with the same issue date,
interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms, the Company shall, at least 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities
of such series to be redeemed.



Section 11.3. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.




     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if less than all of the Securities
of any series with the same issue date, interest rate or formula, Stated Maturity and other terms
are to be



-63-









 







redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and
which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal amount of
Registered Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such partial redemption shall
reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Registered Security of such series not redeemed to
less than the minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or pursuant
hereto.



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



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



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



Section 11.4. Notice of Redemption.




     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.6, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the
Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed. Failure to give notice by
mailing in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or portion thereof.



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



     All notices of redemption shall state:




          (1) the Redemption Date,




          (2) the Redemption Price,




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




-64-









 








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




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




          (6) the place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of Bearer Securities)
with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and any accrued interest and Additional Amounts
pertaining thereto,




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




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




          (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and no Registered Securities of such
series are to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities
not subject to redemption on the Redemption Date pursuant to Section 3.5 or otherwise, the last
date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,




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




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




     A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.6 need not identify particular
Registered Securities to be redeemed.



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



Section 11.5. Deposit of Redemption Price.




     On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect to the Securities
of any series called for redemption pursuant to Section 11.4, with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money in the applicable Currency sufficient to pay the



-65-









 







Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date,
unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1 or in the Securities of such series) any accrued
interest on and Additional Amounts with respect thereto, all such Securities or portions thereof
which are to be redeemed on that date, other than any Securities called for redemption on that date
which have been converted prior to the date of such deposit (as described in Section 11.3).



     If any Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or
with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such Security shall
(subject to any right of the Holder of such Security or any Predecessor Security to receive
interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the Company upon Company
Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be discharged from such trust.



Section 11.6. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.




     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest
appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall
be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice,
together with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued interest
and Additional Amounts to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Bearer Securities of such series, installments of
interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency
located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2), and provided,
further, that, except as otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered
Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity
is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record
Dates therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.



     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant
Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the
Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender
of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any
Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or
any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from
the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided,
however, that any interest or Additional Amounts represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such Security located
outside of the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2.



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



-66-









 





Section 11.7. Securities Redeemed in Part.




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



ARTICLE 12.




SINKING FUNDS




Section 12.1. Applicability of Article.




     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series, except as otherwise permitted or required in or pursuant to this Indenture
or any Security of such series issued pursuant to this Indenture.



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



Section 12.2. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments With Securities.




     The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to the Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called for
redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have been released to the
Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons
appertaining thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have been converted
pursuant to Article 16 or which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking
fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such series of Securities
have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through
operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If, as a result of the delivery or credit of Securities of any series in lieu of cash
payments pursuant to this



-67-









 







Section 12.2, the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
satisfy the remaining sinking fund payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call
Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company Request, and such cash payment shall
be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment,
provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request of the Company from
time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or
such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series
purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to
be released to the Company.



Section 12.3. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.




     Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 12.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so credited and not
theretofore delivered. If such Officer’s Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added
in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before each such sinking fund
payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.



ARTICLE 13.




REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS




Section 13.1. Applicability of Article.




     Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their
Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The
repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require
repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 3.9, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee
with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section 13.1, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may
arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or
other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or
before the close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price
payable by the Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay
the repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment
is so paid by such purchasers.

     Whenever this Indenture provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the
rights of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated
in the same Currency, or (ii) any distribution to Holders of Securities, in the absence of any
provision to the contrary in the form of Security of any particular series or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities, any amount in respect of any Security denominated in a Currency other
than Dollars shall be treated for any such action or distribution as that amount of Dollars that

with respect to Registered Securities of such series (if any) for such action, determination of
rights or distribution (or, if there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably

taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of or made the first publication
of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after receipt of such request (whichever shall be
required pursuant to Section 1.6) 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

Section 15.4. Quorum; Action.




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

adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall constitute a quorum.

represented at the meeting.



Section 15.5. Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the
submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and
such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as
otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved

manner specified in Section 1.4 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy
witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 1.4 to certify

appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof
specified in Section 1.4 or other proof.



          (2) The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as
provided in Section 15.2(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series
calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons
entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting.



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



          (4) Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 15.2 at
which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting; and
the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting
their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least
in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be
prepared by the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original
reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and
showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 15.2 and, if applicable, Section 15.4.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and another to the Trustee to be
preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting.

     Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at the option of the
Holder thereof, Securities of any series or any portion of the principal amount thereof which is
$1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 (or in the case of Bearer Securities, a principal amount
or portion of $5,000 or an integral multiple of $5,000) may be converted at the principal amount
thereof, or of such portion thereof, into fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to
each conversion to the nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, in accordance with
the terms of such series of Securities and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 3.1) in accordance with this Article. In case a Security or portion thereof is called for
redemption, such conversion right in respect of the Security or portion so called shall expire at
the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding the Redemption Date, unless the
Company defaults in making the payment due upon redemption or the applicable Security provides
otherwise.



     The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon conversion, which shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, shall be referred to herein as the “conversion price.”
The conversion price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in paragraphs (1), (2),
(3), (4), (5), (6) and (10) of Section 16.4.



Section 16.2 Exercise of Conversion Privilege.




     In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any Security to be converted
shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office
or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by
written notice to the Company at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, the portion
thereof to be converted (in the case of Bearer Securities, any Bearer Security surrendered for
conversion pursuant to this Article must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing subsequent to the
date of surrender of such Bearer Security for conversion or the amount of any such missing Coupons
will be deducted from the amount due on such Security used to determine the amount of shares of
Common Stock such Bearer Security may be converted into). Securities surrendered for conversion
during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest
Payment Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of
Securities or portions thereof which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date such that
the conversion right of such Securities would terminate between such Regular Record Date and the
close of business on such Interest Payment Date) be accompanied by payment in funds reasonably
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date
on the principal amount of Securities being surrendered for conversion (with similar provision to
be made for Bearer Securities). The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date with respect
to any Security (or portion thereof, if applicable) which is surrendered for conversion during the
period from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment
Date to the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date and which Security has been called
for redemption on a Redemption Date with the consequence that the conversion right of such Security
would terminate between such Regular Record Date and the close of business on such Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security being converted in an amount equal to the
interest that would have



-72-









 







been payable on such Security if such Security had been converted as of the close of business
on such Interest Payment Date. The interest so payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of
any Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) that has not been called for redemption on a
Redemption Date with the consequence of termination of the conversion right as aforesaid, which
Security (or portion thereof, as the case may be) is surrendered for conversion during the period
from the close of business on any Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to
the opening of business on such Interest Payment Date, shall be paid to the Holder of such Security
as of such Regular Record Date. Interest payable in respect of any Security surrendered for
conversion on or after an Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Holder of such Security as of
the next preceding Regular Record Date, notwithstanding the exercise of the right of conversion.
Except as provided in this paragraph and subject to the last paragraph of Section 3.7, no cash
payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued from the
Interest Payment Date next preceding the conversion date, in respect of any Security (or part
thereof, as the case may be) surrendered for conversion, or on account of any dividends on the
Common Stock issued upon conversion. The Company’s delivery to the Holder of the number of shares
of Common Stock (and cash in lieu of fractions thereof, as provided in this Indenture) into which a
Security is convertible will be deemed to satisfy the Company’s obligation to pay the principal
amount of the Security.



     Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to the close of business
on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion in accordance with the foregoing
provisions, and at such time the rights of the Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease,
and the Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be
treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such time. As
promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company shall issue and shall deliver
at such office or agency a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common
Stock issuable upon conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
provided in Section 16.3.



     In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense
of the Company, a new Security or Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal
amount equal to the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.



Section 16.3. Fractions of Shares.




     No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion of Securities. If more
than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number of
full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so surrendered.
Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion
of any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash
adjustment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the closing price
per share of Common Stock (as determined in the manner described in the second sentence of
Section 16.4(8)) at the close of business on the day of conversion.



Section 16.4. Adjustment of Conversion Price.




          (1) In case the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other distribution on any class of
capital stock of the Company in Common Stock, the conversion price in effect at the opening of
business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled



-73-









 







to receive such dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion
price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and the denominator
shall be the sum of such number of shares and the total number of shares constituting such dividend
or other distribution, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business
on the day following the date fixed for such determination. If, after any such date fixed for
determination, any dividend or distribution is not in fact paid, the conversion price shall be
immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to pay such
dividend or distribution, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such
determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (1), the number of
shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the
Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any
distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.



          (2) In case the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of its Common Stock
entitling them to subscribe for or purchase shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than
the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the
Common Stock on the dated fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants, the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following
the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion price by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the
close of business on the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common
Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of shares of Common Stock so
offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at such current market price and the
denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on
the date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of
business on the day following the date fixed for determination. If, after any such date fixed for
determination, any such rights or warrants are not in fact issued, the conversion price shall be
immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to issue
such rights or warrants, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such
determination date had not been fixed. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of
shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the treasury of the
Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of
fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company will not issue any rights or warrants in respect
of shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.



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



          (4) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its
Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (including securities, but excluding any



-74-









 







rights or warrants referred to in paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution
paid exclusively in cash and any dividend or distribution referred to in paragraph (1) of this
Section), the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined
by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the
date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price share (determined as provided in
paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such determination less
the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets
or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock and the
denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common Stock, such adjustment to
become effective immediately prior to the opening of business on the day following the date fixed
for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution. If, after any such
date fixed for determination, any such distribution is not in fact made, the conversion price shall
be immediately readjusted, effective as of the date the Board of Directors determines not to make
such distribution, to the conversion price that would have been in effect if such determination
date had not been fixed.



          (5) In case the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute to all holders of its
Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed as part of a distribution referred to in
paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate amount that, combined together with (I) the
aggregate amount of any other cash distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made
exclusively in cash within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in
respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (II) the aggregate
of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution and filed with the Trustee)
of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the Company or any of its subsidiaries
for all or any portion of the Common Stock concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of
payment of such distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of
this Section has been made (the “combined cash and tender amount”) exceeds 10% of the product of
the current market price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the
Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders of shares of Common Stock entitled to
receive such distribution times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date (the
“aggregate current market price”), then, and in each such case, immediately after the close of
business on such date for determination, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same
shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders entitled to receive
such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall be equal to the current market
price per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on
the date fixed for such determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of
such combined cash and tender amount over such aggregate current market price divided by (y) the
number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided
in paragraph(8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on such date for determination.



          (6) In case a tender offer made by the Company or any subsidiary of the Company for all or any
portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as amended upon the expiration
thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders (based on the acceptance (up to any maximum
specified in the terms of the tender offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate
consideration having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors,



-75-









 







whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution and filed with the
Trustee) that combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value (as
determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a
Board Resolution and filed with the Trustee), as of the expiration of such tender offer, of
consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer by the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock expiring within the 12 months preceding the
expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this
paragraph (6) has been made and (II) the aggregate amount of any cash distributions to all holders
of the Company’s Common Stock within 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and in
respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made (the
“combined tender and cash amount”) exceeds 10% of the product of the current market price per share
of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the last time
(the “Expiration Time”) tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be
amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as
of the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case, immediately prior to the opening of business
on the day after the date of the Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that
the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price immediately prior to
close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the numerator of which shall
be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market price per share of the Common Stock
(determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time
multiplied by (II) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares)
on the Expiration Time less (B) the combined tender and cash amount, and (ii) the denominator of
which shall be equal to the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock
(determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the Expiration Time multiplied
by (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) as of the
Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly tendered and not withdrawn as of the
Expiration Time (the shares deemed so accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the
“Purchased Shares”).



          (7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including other than Common Stock
(other than any reclassification upon a consolidation or merger to which Section 12.11 applies)
shall be deemed to involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all
holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the
date fixed for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution” and “the
date fixed for such determination” within the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section) and (b) a
subdivision or combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding
immediately thereafter (and the effective date of such reclassification shall be deemed to be “the
day upon which such subdivision becomes effective” or “the day upon which such combination becomes
effective,” as the case may be, and “the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective” within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).



          (8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section,
the current market price per share of Common Stock on any date shall be deemed to be the average of
the daily closing prices for the five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing
not more than 20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than, the earlier of the day in question
and the day before the “ex” date (as described below) with respect to the issuance or distribution
requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall be the last reported sales price
regular way or, in case no such reported sale takes place on such day, the average of the reported
closing bid and asked prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or,



-76-









 







if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the principal
national securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading or, if not
listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on the Nasdaq National Market,
or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange or
quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and asked prices in the
over-the-counter market as furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time
to time by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term “‘ex’ date”,
when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first date on which the Common
Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such market without the right to receive such
issuance or distribution.



          (9) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment (plus any
adjustments not previously made by reason of this paragraph (9)) would require an increase or
decrease of at least one percent in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by
reason of this paragraph (9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this Article shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one-hundredth of a share, as the case may be.



          (10) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in addition to those
required by paragraphs (1), (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) of this Section, as it considers to be
advisable in order that any event treated for federal income tax purposes as a dividend of stock or
stock rights shall not be taxable to the recipients.



     To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Company from time to time may reduce the
conversion price by any amount for any period of time if the period is at least twenty (20) days
and the Board of Directors shall have made a determination that such reduction would be in the best
interests of the Company, which determination shall be conclusive. Whenever the conversion price
is reduced pursuant to the preceding sentence, the Company shall give notice of the reduction to
the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.6 at least fifteen (15) days prior to
the date the reduced conversion price takes effect, and such notice shall state the reduced
conversion price and the period during which it will be in effect.



Section 16.5. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price.




     Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:



     (a) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in accordance with Section 16.4
and shall prepare a certificate signed by the Treasurer of the Company, or other applicable
officer, setting forth the adjusted conversion price and showing in reasonable detail the facts
upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office
or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2; and



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



-77-









 





Section 16.6. Notice of Certain Corporate Action.




     In case:



     (a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution) on its Common Stock
payable (i) otherwise than exclusively in cash or (ii) exclusively in cash in an amount that would
require any adjustment pursuant to Section 16.4;



     (b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its Common Stock of rights or
warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any other
rights;



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



     (d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;


then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be mailed to all Holders at
their last addresses as they shall appear in the Security Register or as otherwise allowed by
Section 1.6, at least 20 days (or ten days in any case specified in clause (a) or (b) above) prior
to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on
which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants,
or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to
be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are to be determined, or (y) the
date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected
that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock
for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation,
merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up.




     The Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2, and shall cause to be provided to all Holders in
accordance with Section 1.6, notice of any tender offer by the Company or any subsidiary of the
Company for all or any portion of the Common Stock at or about the time that such notice of tender
offer is provided to the public generally.



Section 16.7. Company to Reserve Common Stock.




     The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of
its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the conversion of
Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all
outstanding Securities.



-78-









 





Section 16.8. Taxes on Conversions.




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



Section 16.9. Covenant as to Common Stock.




     The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be issued upon conversion of
Securities will upon issue be fully paid and nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 16.8,
the Company will pay all taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.



Section 16.10. Cancellation of Converted Securities.




     All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the Trustee to be cancelled by
or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall dispose of the same as provided in Section 3.9.



Section 16.11. Provisions in Case of Consolidation, Merger of Sale of Assets.




     In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other
Person, any merger of another Person into the Company (other than a merger which does not result in
any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company) or any sale or transfer or conveyance of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which acquires
such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture
providing that the Holder of each Security then Outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during
the period such Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 16.1, to convert such
Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer or conveyance by a holder of the number of shares of Common
Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted immediately prior to such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer or conveyance, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the
Company (i) is not a Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or
which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the case may be
(“constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his
rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer or conveyance (provided that if the
kind or amount of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
sale or transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held immediately
prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by others than a constituent Person or an
Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised
(“nonelecting share”), then for the purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash
and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each nonelecting
share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a plurality of the
nonelecting shares). Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events
subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments



-79-









 







provided for in this Article. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers. Notice of the execution of such a
supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each Security as provided in
Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution.



     The Company shall be solely responsible for performing the duties and responsibilities
contained in this Article and the Trustee shall have no responsibility therefor.



[ARTICLE 17.




SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES




Section 17.1. Securities Subordinate to Senior Indebtedness.




     The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by his acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth in this
Article, the Indebtedness represented by the Securities and the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities are hereby expressly made
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a deposit referred to in Section 4.2(4)(a) is made pursuant
to Section 4.2(2) or Section 4.2(3) with respect to any Securities (and provided all other
conditions set out in Section 4.2(4) shall have been satisfied with respect to such Securities),
then, following such deposit or following the 123rd day after such deposit with respect
to defeasance only, no money or Government Obligations so deposited, and no proceeds thereon, will
be subject to any rights of holders of Senior Indebtedness, including any such rights arising under
this Article 17.



Section 17.2. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution, Etc.




     In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding, or any receivership,
liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or proceeding in connection therewith, relative
to the Company or to its creditors, as such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution
or other winding up of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other
marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any such event the holders of
Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become
due on or in respect of all Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for such payment in
cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other
Indebtedness of the Company subordinated to the payment of the Securities), on account of principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest on the Securities or on account of any purchase or other
acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company (all such payments,
distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred to, individually and collectively, as a
“Securities Payment”), and to that end the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to
receive, for application to the payment thereof, any Securities Payment.



-80-









 





     In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the Trustee or
the Holder of any Security shall have received any Securities Payment, before all Senior
Indebtedness is paid in full or payment thereof provided for in cash or cash equivalents or
otherwise in a manner satisfactory to holders of Senior Indebtedness, and if such fact shall, at or
prior to the time of such Securities Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case
may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be paid over or delivered
forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent
or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the
payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior
Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
holders of Senior Indebtedness. Any taxes that have been withheld or deducted from any Securities
Payment, or any taxes that ought to have been withheld or deducted from any such Securities Payment
that have been remitted to the relevant taxing authority, shall not be considered to be an amount
that the Trustee or the Holder of any Security receives for purposes of this Section.



     For purposes of this Article only, the words “cash, property or securities” shall not be
deemed to include shares of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the
Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which are
subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness which may at the time be outstanding to
substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated
as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company
into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or
transfer of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms
and conditions set forth in Article 8 shall not be deemed a dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of
the Company for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such consolidation or into
which the Company is merged or which acquires by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets
substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger,
conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions set forth in Article 8.



Section 17.3. No Payment when Senior Indebtedness in Default.




     Anything in this Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, no Securities Payment shall be
made by or on behalf of the Company (i) unless full payment of amounts then due for principal and
interest and of all other obligations then due on all Senior Indebtedness has been made or duly
provided for pursuant to the terms of the instrument governing such Senior Indebtedness, (ii) if,
at the time of such payment, redemption, purchase or other acquisition, or immediately after giving
effect thereto, there shall exist under any Senior Indebtedness, or any agreement pursuant to which
any Senior Indebtedness is issued, any default, which default shall not have been cured or waived
and which default shall have resulted in the full amount of such Senior Indebtedness being declared
due and payable or (iii) if, at the time of such payment, redemption, purchase or other
acquisition, the Trustee shall have received written notice from the holder or holders of any
Senior Indebtedness or their representative or representatives (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) that
there exists under such Senior Indebtedness, or any agreement pursuant to which such Senior
Indebtedness is issued, any default, which default shall not have been cured or waived, permitting
the holders thereof to declare the full amount of such Senior Indebtedness due and payable, but
only for the period (the “Payment Blockage Period”) commencing on the date of receipt of the
Payment Blockage Notice and ending (unless earlier terminated by notice given to the Trustee by the
Holders of such Senior Indebtedness) on the earlier of (A) the date on which such event of default
shall have been cured or waived or



-81-









 







ceased to exist or the Senior Indebtedness to which such default relates shall have been
discharged or (B) 180 days from the receipt of the Payment Blockage Notice; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance
with Article 12 hereof by delivery and crediting pursuant to Section 12.2 Securities which have
been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to the acceleration of any such default listed
in (i) or (ii) directly above or prior to receipt of any Payment Blockage Notice. Upon termination
of a Payment Blockage Period, payments on account of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on
the Securities, and redemptions, purchases or other acquisitions may be made by or on behalf of the
Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (A) only one Payment Blockage Notice may
be given during any period of 360 consecutive days with respect to the same event of default and
any other events of default on the same issue of Senior Indebtedness existing and known to the
person giving such notice at the time of such notice and (B) no new Payment Blockage Period may be
commenced by the holder or holders of the same issue of Senior Indebtedness or their representative
or representatives during any period of 360 consecutive days unless all events of default which
were the object of the immediately preceding Payment Blockage Notice, and any other event of
default on the same issue of Senior Indebtedness existing and known to the person giving such
notice at the time of such notice, have been cured or waived for a period of at least 90
consecutive days.



     In the event that, notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 17.3, payments are made by
or on behalf of the Company in contravention of the provisions of this Section 17.3, such payments
shall be held by the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Holders, as applicable, in trust for the
benefit of, and shall be paid over to and delivered to, the holders of Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or the trustee under the indenture or other agreement (if any), pursuant to which
any instruments evidencing any Senior Indebtedness may have been issued, as their respective
interests may appear, for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to
the extent necessary to pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with the terms of such
Senior Indebtedness, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the
holders of Senior Indebtedness.



     The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to which
Section 17.2 would be applicable.



Section 17.4 Reliance by Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions.




     Each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof acknowledges and agrees that the
foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement and a consideration
for each holder of any Senior Indebtedness, whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or
acquired before or after the issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to
continue to hold, such Senior Indebtedness, and such holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be deemed
conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in acquiring and continuing to hold or
in continuing to hold such Senior Indebtedness.



Section 17.5. Payment Permitted If No Default.




     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during the pendency of any case, proceeding,
dissolution, liquidation or other winding up, assignment for the benefit of creditors or other
marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company referred to in Section 17.2 or under the
conditions described in Section 17.3, from making Securities Payments, or (b) the application by
the



-82-









 







Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to Securities Payments or the retention of
such Securities Payments by the Holders, if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did
not have knowledge that such Securities Payments would have been prohibited by the provisions of
this Article.



Section 17.6. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness.




     Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness or the provision for such payment in
cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent of the payments or
distributions made to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this
Article (equally and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its
express terms is subordinated to indebtedness of the Company to substantially the same extent as
the Securities are subordinated and is entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such subrogation, no payments or
distributions to the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of
this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of this Article to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its
creditors other than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to
be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Indebtedness.



Section 17.7. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.




     The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the one hand and the holders of Senior
Indebtedness on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture
or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair, as among the Company, its creditors other
than holders of Senior Indebtedness and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness, is intended to rank equally with all other general
obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of (and premium,
if any) and interest on the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders
of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness; or
(c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise
permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under
this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, property and securities
otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.



Section 17.8. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.




     Each holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.



-83-









 





Section 17.9. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.




     No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness to enforce subordination
as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be otherwise charged with.



     Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without the consent of or notice to the
Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without incurring responsibility to the Holders of the
Securities and without impairing or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the
obligations hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do
any one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment or extend the
time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Indebtedness, or otherwise amend or supplement in any
manner Senior Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (ii) sell, exchange, release or otherwise deal with any
property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior Indebtedness; (iii) release any Person
liable in any manner for the collection of Senior Indebtedness; and (iv) exercise or refrain from
exercising any rights against the Company and any other Person.



Section 17.10. Notice to Trustee.




     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless and until the
Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior
Indebtedness or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled in all respects to assume
that no such facts exist.



     Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the
delivery to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior
Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of
Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good
faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder of
Senior Indebtedness to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article, the
Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee
as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights
of such Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any
payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment.



Section 17.11. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.




     Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which
such



-84-









 







insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up or
similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making
such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article.



Section 17.12. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness.




     The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay
over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property
or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article or otherwise.



Section 17.13. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness; Preservation of Trustee’s Rights.




     The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this
Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness which may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.



     Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or
pursuant to Section 6.7.



Section 17.14. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.




     In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall in such case
(unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying
Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named
in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that
Section 17.13 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of the Company if it or such
Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.



Section 17.15. Defeasance of this Article 17.




     The subordination of the Securities provided by this Article 17 is expressly made subject to
the provisions for defeasance in Section 4.2(2) hereof or covenant defeasance in Section 4.2(3)
hereof and, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, upon the effectiveness of any such
defeasance or covenant defeasance, the Securities then outstanding shall thereupon cease to be
subordinated pursuant to this Article 17.]
