(subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Corporation
if made in the manner provided in this Section. 
The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in
the manner provided in Section 13.6.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, with respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent
the Corporation, the Trustee, or any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee,
from giving effect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to be given or taken
by a Depositary or impair, as between a Depositary and such holders of
beneficial interests, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of any
Security.


 


Without
limiting the generality of this Section 1.4, unless otherwise provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depositary that is a
Holder of a Global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly
appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be
made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depositary that is a Holder of a Global
Security may give its proxy or proxies to the Depositary’s participants or the beneficial
owners of interests in any such Global Security, as the case may be, through
such Depositary’s standing instructions and customary practices.


 


Subject to the
next succeeding paragraph, the Corporation may, in the circumstances permitted
by the Trust Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of
determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken
by Holders of Securities of such series. 
If not set by the Corporation prior to the first solicitation of a
Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in respect of any such
action, or in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date
for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day prior to such first
solicitation or vote, or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders
required to be provided pursuant to Section 7.1, as the case may be.  With regard to any record date for action to
be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders
of Securities of such series on such date (or their duly designated proxies)
shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action.


 


The Trustee
shall fix a record date for the purpose of determining the Persons who are
beneficial owners of interests in any permanent Global Security held by a
Depositary and who are entitled under the procedures of such Depositary to
make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action 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, 


 


9

















 


demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date.  No such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be valid or effective
if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such record date.


 


(b)           The fact and date of the execution by
any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any manner that
the Trustee deems sufficient.


 


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


 


(d)           The principal amount and serial
numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person executing any such instrument
or writing as a Holder of Securities, and the date of such Holder’s 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, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by 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 executing such instrument or writing as a Holder of
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory.  The Trustee and the
Corporation may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues
until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in
respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer
Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such
Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such
Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.


 


(e)           The fact and date of execution of any
such instrument or writing, the authority of the Person executing the same, the
principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so
executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also
be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the
Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the
matters referred to in this Section.


 


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


 


Section 1.5  Notices, Etc., to Trustee, Corporation.  Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or other Act of Holders of a
series of Securities or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture
to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,


 


10

















 


(a)           the Trustee of such series by any
Holder of a Security of such series or by the Corporation shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or
with the Trustee of such series at its Corporate Trust Office, or

(a)           such notice shall be sufficiently
given to Holders of Registered Securities of such series if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered Security of
such series affected by such event, at such Holder’s 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

given to Holders of Bearer Securities of such series if published in an
Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and, if

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

Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable

given with the approval of the Trustee for such series 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 


 


11

















 


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, Etc.  Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this
Indenture shall be in the English language, except that any published notice

global form, any such Security may provide that it or any number of such
Securities shall represent the aggregate amount of all Outstanding Securities
of such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by the terms thereof)
from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate
amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be

an Officers’ Certificate and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

delivered hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following form, or
in such other form that is acceptable to the Depositary and the Trustee:

until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive
registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any

Registered Securities, as to denomination and except as may otherwise be
provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution and set forth in the Officers’
Certificate, or provided in the indenture supplemental hereto, establishing the
series.


 


If any of the
terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Corporation and delivered to
the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the terms of the series.  Such
Board Resolution may provide general terms or parameters for Securities of such
series and may provide that the specific terms of particular Securities of such
series, and the Persons authorized to determine such terms or parameters may be
determined in accordance with or pursuant to the Order of the Corporation
referred to in the third paragraph of Section 3.3.

Dating.  The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Corporation by its Chairman of
the Board, a Vice Chairman, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under
its corporate seal reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries.  The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.  Coupons shall bear the facsimile signature of
the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Corporation.


 


Securities and
coupons bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at
any time relevant to the authorization thereof the proper officers of the
Corporation shall bind the Corporation, notwithstanding that such individuals
or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities.


 


At any time
and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Corporation may deliver Securities of any series executed on behalf of the
Corporation to the Trustee for authentication by the Trustee together with an
Order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with such Order shall authenticate
and deliver such Securities; provided,
that in connection with its original issuance, a Bearer Security may be
delivered only outside the United States and only if the Trustee shall have
received from the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security a 


 


17

















 


certificate in
the form required by Section 3.11; and provided
further, that, with respect to Securities of a series constituting a
medium-term note program, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities
of such series for original issue from time to time in the aggregate principal
amount established for such series pursuant to such procedures acceptable to
the Trustee and to such recipients as may be specified from time to time by an
Order of the Corporation.  The maturity
dates, original issue dates, interest rates and any other terms of the
Securities of a subseries of any medium-term note program shall be determined
by or pursuant to such Order of the Corporation and such procedures.


 


In
authenticating Securities in accordance with an Order of the Corporation, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully
protected in relying upon:


 


(a)           the Board Resolution or indenture
supplemental hereto establishing the form of the Securities of the series
pursuant to Section 2.1 and the terms of the Securities of the series
pursuant to Section 3.1 (or, in the case of a Board Resolution, pursuant
to which such form and terms are established);


 


(b)           an Officers’ Certificate pursuant to
Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and complying with Section 1.2; and


 


(c)           an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 1.2
stating,


 


(i)            that the forms of such Securities
and coupons, if any, have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution
or by an indenture supplemental hereto, as permitted by Section 2.1 and in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;


 


(ii)           that the terms of such Securities
have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by an indenture supplemental
hereto, as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1 and in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture;


 


(iii)          that such Securities, together with
the coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, when authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any
customary conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, shall constitute
valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation entitled to the
benefits provided by the Indenture, enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms, except to the extent that the enforcement of such obligations
may be subject to bankruptcy laws or insolvency laws or other similar laws,
general principles of equity and such other qualifications as such counsel shall
conclude are customary or do not materially affect the rights of the Holders of
such Securities;


 


(iv)          that all laws and requirements in
respect of the execution and delivery of the Securities have been complied
with; and


 


18

















 


(v)           such other matters as the Trustee may
reasonably request.


 


With respect
to Securities of a subseries of a medium-term note program, the Trustee may
conclusively rely on the documents and opinion delivered pursuant to Sections
2.1 and 3.1 and this Section 3.3, as applicable (unless revoked by
superseding comparable documents or opinions), with respect to the
establishment of the medium-term note program as to the authorization of the
Board of Directors of the Corporation of any Securities delivered hereunder,
the form thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability
thereof.


 


Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding two paragraphs, if not
all the Securities of any series are to be issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1
or the documents otherwise required pursuant to the preceding clauses (a), (b) or
(c) prior to or at the time of issuance of each Security, but such documents
shall be delivered prior to or at the time of issuance of the first Security of
such series and shall pertain to all of the Securities of such series.  After any such first delivery, any separate
Request by the Corporation that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such
series for original issue shall be deemed to be a certification by the
Corporation that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture
relating to authentication and delivery of such Securities continue to have
been complied with.


 


If such forms
or terms have been so established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or by an
indenture supplemental hereto as permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, the Trustee
shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of
such series:


 


(x)           if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that
such action may not lawfully be taken;


 


(y)           if
the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, executive committee or a
committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determines that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability to
Holders of any Outstanding series of Securities; or


 


(z)            if
the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture shall affect the Trustee’s
own rights, duties and immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not acceptable to the Trustee.


 


If the
Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 3.1 that the Securities of
a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
Securities, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with this Section and the Order of the Corporation with respect to
such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in
permanent form that (A) shall represent and shall be denominated in an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series to be represented by such Global Security or Securities, (B) shall
be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such
Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (C) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s
instruction and (D) shall bear a legend as required by Section 2.4.


 


19

















 


Each
Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.  Each Global Security, each Bearer Security
and any temporary Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.


 


No Security or
related coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be
valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture.  Except
as permitted by Section 3.6 or 3.7, the Trustee shall not authenticate and
deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then
matured and paid or payment duly provided for have been detached and canceled.


 


Section 3.4  Temporary Securities.  Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute, and upon an Order of the
Corporation the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or,
if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and
with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities (but which do not affect the rights or duties of
the Trustee).  In the case of Bearer
Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form,
representing all of the outstanding Bearer Securities of such series.


 


Except in the
case of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of any series
are issued, the Corporation shall cause definitive Securities of that series to
be prepared without unreasonable delay. 
After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Corporation in a Place of Payment for
that series, without charge to the Holder. 
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities
of any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the
Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor (at an office or agency of the Corporation in the case of
Bearer Securities) a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same
series of authorized denominations and of like tenor; provided, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security;
and provided further, that no
definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary
Bearer Security unless the Trustee shall have received from the Person entitled
to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate in the form required by
Section 3.11.  Until so exchanged,
the temporary Securities of any series, including temporary Securities in
global form, shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.


 


Section 3.5  Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.  The
Corporation shall cause to be kept at one of its offices or agencies designated
pursuant to Section 10.2 a register (referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to
such regulations as it 


 


20

















 


may prescribe, the Corporation shall provide for the
registration of Registered Securities of each series and of transfers and
exchanges of Registered Securities of such series.  Said office or agency is hereby appointed the
security registrar (referred to as the “Security
Registrar”) for the purpose of registering Registered Securities of
each series and transfers and exchanges of Registered Securities of such series
as herein provided.


 


Upon surrender
for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the
office or agency in a Place of Payment maintained for such purpose for such
series, the Corporation 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, Stated Maturity and original
issue date, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.


 


At the option
of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a Global Security
representing all or a portion of such series) may be exchanged for Registered
Securities of the same series, Stated Maturity and original issue date, of any
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency.


 


At the option
of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered
Securities of the same series, Stated Maturity and original issue date, of any
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or
agency, 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 Corporation
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 Corporation 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 Security surrenders 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,
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 located outside the United States.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in
exchange for a Registered Security of the same series after the close of
business at such office or agency on (1) any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant
Interest Payment Date, or (2) 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.


 


Whenever any
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Corporation shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive.


 


21














 


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


 


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


 


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


 


The
Corporation shall not be required (a) to issue, to register the transfer
of or to exchange Securities of any series during a period of 15 Business Days
immediately preceding the date notice is given identifying the serial numbers
of the Securities of that series called for redemption, or (b) to issue,
to register the transfer of or to exchange any Registered Security so selected
for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part, or (c) to exchange any Bearer Security so
selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for
a Registered Security of that series, provided,
that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption
with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this
Indenture.


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
any Global Security shall be exchangeable pursuant to this Section 3.5 or
Sections 3.4, 3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 for Securities registered in the name of, and a
transfer of a Global Security of any series may be registered to, any Person
other than the Depositary for such Global Security or its nominee only if:


 


(i)            such Depositary notifies the
Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Global Security, or such Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days;


 


(ii)           the Corporation executes and delivers
to the Trustee an Order of the Corporation that such Global Security shall be
so exchangeable and the transfer thereof so registrable; or


 


(iii)          there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or
lapse of time, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series.


 


Upon the
occurrence in respect of any Global Security of any series of any one or more
of the conditions specified in clauses (i), (ii) or (iii) of the
preceding sentence or such other conditions 


 


22

















 


as may be
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such series, then without
unnecessary delay, but in any event not later than the earliest date on which
such interests may be so exchanged, the Corporation shall deliver to the
Trustee definitive Securities of that series in aggregate principal amount
equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, executed by the
Corporation.


 


On or after
the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such Global
Securities shall be surrendered from time to time by the Depositary and in
accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depositary (which
instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by
an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall
be specified in the Order of the Corporation with respect thereto to the
Trustee, as the Corporation’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or in part, for definitive Securities of the same series without service
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 the
Securities of the series 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
of the series are issuable, as specified as contemplated by Section 3.1)
shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any
combination thereof, as shall be specified by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, that no such exchanges may occur
during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before
any selection of Securities of the series to be redeemed and ending on the
relevant Redemption Date; and provided
further, that (unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1)
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 exchange in part, such Global Security shall be returned by
the Trustee to the Depositary in accordance with the instructions of the
Corporation 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 where such exchange occurs on
any Regular Record Date for such Security and before the opening of business at
such office or agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or 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 is payable in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


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, the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same
series, Stated Maturity and original issue date, and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with
coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered
Security.


 


23

















 


If there shall
be delivered to the Corporation and the Trustee (1) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon and (2) 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
Corporation or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Corporation shall execute and upon its Request the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such 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, Stated Maturity and original issue date, and
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, with coupons 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.


 


In case any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Corporation in its discretion may, instead
of issuing a new Security, pay such Security or coupon; provided, that payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as
otherwise provided in Section 10.2, be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States; and provided
further, that with respect to any such coupons, interest represented
thereby (but not any additional amounts payable as provided in Section 10.6),
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons
appertaining thereto.


 


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


 


Every new
Security of any series, with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section
in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange
for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall
constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Corporation,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security and its
coupons, if any, or the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon shall be at
any time enforceable by anyone, and any such new Security and coupons, if any,
shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series and their
coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.


 


The provisions
of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all
other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons.


 


Section 3.7  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved.  Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any
series of Securities, interest on any Registered Security which is payable, and
is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be
paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date
for such interest.  Interest, if any, on
any Bearer Securities shall be paid to Holders of coupons.  In case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security of such series 


 


24

















 


after the close of business (at an office or agency in
a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date 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.


 


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


 


(a)           The Corporation may elect to make
payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Corporation shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at
the same time the Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted
Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such
deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted
Interest as provided in this clause. 
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than
10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days
after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the
Corporation of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of
the Corporation, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at the address
of such Holder 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 Corporation,
cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper
in each Place of Payment, but such publication shall not be a condition
precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).  In case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in
exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business
at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the
coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest shall
not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but 


 


25

















 


shall be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.8  Persons Deemed Owners.  Prior to due presentment of a Registered
Security for registration of transfer, the Corporation, the Trustee and any
agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose
name such Registered Security is registered as the absolute owner of such
Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest, if any, on such
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is
overdue, and neither the Corporation, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.


 


The
Corporation, the Trustee and any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee may
treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and 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 such Security or coupon is overdue, and neither the Corporation, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Corporation or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.


 


No holder of
any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a
Depositary (or its nominee) shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to such Global Security or any Security represented thereby, and such
Depositary may be treated by the Corporation, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Corporation or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security or any Security
represented thereby for all purposes whatsoever.  None of the Corporation, the Trustee, any
Paying Agent or the Security Registrar shall have any responsibility or
liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security 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 or exchange or for credit against
any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee.  The Corporation may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Corporation may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall 


 


26

















 


be promptly canceled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Securities and coupons held by
the Trustee shall be destroyed and certification of their destruction delivered
to the Corporation, unless an Order of the Corporation shall direct that
canceled Securities be returned to the Corporation.


 


The repayment
of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to any option of the Holder to
require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of
this Section 3.9, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and
until the Corporation, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to
the Trustee with an Order of the Corporation directing that such Securities be
canceled.


 


Section 3.10  Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1(d) for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities
of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months.


 


Section 3.11  Form of Certification by a Person
Entitled to Receive a Bearer Security.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture or
the form of Security contemplates that certification be given by a Person
entitled to receive a Bearer Security, such certification shall be provided
substantially in the form of the following certificate, with only such changes
as shall be approved by the Corporation and of which the Corporation shall have
given written notice to the Trustee:


 


[Form of
Certificate to Be Given By


Person
Entitled to Receive Bearer Security]


 


Certificate


 


[Name of
Security]


 


This is to
certify that the above-captioned Security is not being acquired by or on behalf
of a United States person, or for offer to resell or for resale to a United
States person, or, if a beneficial interest in the Security is being acquired
by a United States person, that such person is a financial institution or is
acquiring through a financial institution and that the Security is held by a
financial institution that has agreed in writing to comply with the
requirements of Section 165(j)(3)(A), (B) or (C) of the Internal Revenue
Code of 1986, as amended, and the regulations thereunder and that such person
or financial institution is not purchasing for offer to resell or for resale

United States of America (including the States and the District of Columbia),
its territories and possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction,
and “United States person” means any citizen or resident of the United States,
any corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under
the laws of the United States or any political subdivision thereof and any
estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income
taxation regardless of its source.  If
the undersigned is a dealer, the undersigned agrees to obtain a similar
certificate from each person entitled to delivery of any of the above-captioned



 


27

















 


Securities in bearer form purchased from it; provided, that if the undersigned has actual knowledge that
the information contained in such a certificate is false, the undersigned shall
not deliver a Security in temporary or definitive bearer form to the person who
signed such certificate notwithstanding the delivery of such certificate to the
undersigned.


 


We undertake
to advise you by telecopy if the above statement as to beneficial ownership is
not correct on the date of delivery of the above-captioned Securities in bearer
form as to all of such Securities.


 


We understand

the United States.  If administrative or
legal proceedings are commenced or threatened in connection with which this
certificate is or would be relevant, we irrevocably authorize you to produce
this certificate or a copy thereof to any interested party in such proceedings.

Section 3.12  CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code Numbers.  The Corporation in issuing the Securities may
use “CUSIP,” “ISIN” or “Common Code” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if
so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers, “ISIN” or “Common Code” in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided,
however, that any such notice may
state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.


 


ARTICLE FOUR



Satisfaction and Discharge


 


Section 4.1  Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.  This Indenture shall upon a Request of the
Corporation cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange or conversion of Securities herein
expressly provided for, and any right to receive additional amounts, as
provided in Section 10.6), and the Trustee, at the expense of the
Corporation, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture, when:


 


(a)           either


 


(i)            all
Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered and all coupons appertaining
thereto (other than (w) coupons appertaining to Bearer Securities
surrendered for exchange for Registered Securities and maturing after such
exchange, whose surrender is not required or has been waived as provided in Section 3.5,
(x) Securities and coupons which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and
which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6, (y) coupons
appertaining to Securities called for redemption and maturing after the
relevant Redemption Date, whose surrender has been waived as provided in Section 11.6,
and (z) Securities and coupons for whose payment money has theretofore
been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by 


 


28

















 


the Corporation and thereafter repaid to the Corporation
or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 10.3) have been
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or


 


(ii)           all such Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation


 


(1)           have become due and payable, or


 


(2)           shall become due and payable at their Stated Maturity
within one year, or


 


(3)           are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption
by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the Corporation,


 


and the Corporation, in the case of (ii)(1), (2) or
(3) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust dedicated solely for such purpose an amount sufficient, without
reinvestment, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities
and coupons not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, to the date of such
deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;


 


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


 


(c)           the Corporation has delivered to the

satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture 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 all
series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are
met.  In the event there are two or more
Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of any such instrument shall be
conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees hereunder.


 


Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Corporation to the Trustee under Section 6.7, the obligations of the
Trustee to any Authenticating Agent under Section 6.14 and, if money shall
have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (a) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 3.5, 3.6, 4.2, 10.2
and 10.3 shall survive.


 


Section 4.2  Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provision of the last
paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance
with the provisions of the Securities, the coupons and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Corporation
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons 


 


29

















 


entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee, but such money need not be segregated from other funds, except to the
extent required by law.

Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or

expressly been included in or pursuant to this Indenture solely for the benefit
of one or more series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of
such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Corporation by the Trustee, or to the
Corporation and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series, a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice

liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official for the
Corporation or for any substantial part of the property of the Corporation, or
ordering the liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Corporation, and
the continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree
or order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or


 


30














 


(f)            the commencement by the Corporation
of a case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or
proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to
the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of it in a case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,

insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable federal

substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or its admission in writing of its inability to pay its
debts generally as they become due, or its taking of corporate action in
furtherance of any such action; or


 


(g)           any other Event of Default provided
with respect to Securities of that series.


 


Section 5.2  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal
amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.


 


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


 


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


 


(i)            all overdue interest on all
Securities of that series;


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)          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 any other amounts due to
the Trustee under Section 6.7;


 


31

















 


and


 


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


 


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


 


Section 5.3  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Trustee. 
The Corporation covenants that if:


 


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


 


(b)           default is made in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof and
such default continues for a period of three Business Days,


 


the
Corporation shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities and coupons, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, with interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any)
and on any overdue interest, to the extent that payment of such interest shall
be legally enforceable, at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover
the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,
and any other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 6.7.


 


If the
Corporation fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee,
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial
proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such
proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the
Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the
property of the Corporation or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated.


 


If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is continuing, the
Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related coupons by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture, or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.


 


Section 5.4  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Corporation or any
other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Corporation or of such
other obligor or their creditors, the 


 


32

















 


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 Corporation or any other obligor for the payment of overdue principal or
interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
or otherwise:


 


(a)           to file and prove a claim for the
whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid
in respect of the Securities and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances
of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due to the
Trustee under Section 6.7) and of the Holders of Securities and coupons
allowed in such judicial proceeding; and


 


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


 


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


 


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 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 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 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 of judgment
shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be
for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities and coupons in respect
of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


Section 5.6  Application of Money Collected.  Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant
to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates
fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account
of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, 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 under Section 6.7;
and


 


33

















 


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


 


THIRD: 
To the Corporation.


 


Section 5.7  Limitation on Suits.  No Holder of any Security of any series or
any related coupons 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:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)           such Holder or Holders have offered
to the Trustee reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities
to be incurred in compliance with such request;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 5.8  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive
Principal, Premium and Interest.  Notwithstanding any
other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon shall
have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) interest,
if any, on such Security or payment of such coupon on the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption,
on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.


 


Section 5.9  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.  If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or
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 


 


34

















 


determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder,
then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and coupons shall be
restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.


 


Section 5.10  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  Except as otherwise provided with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities
or coupons in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or
coupons is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. 
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise
shall, not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.


 


Section 5.11  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any 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 the Holders of Securities or coupons may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.


 


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; provided,
that:


 


(a)           such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, expose the Trustee to
personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to Holders not joined therein; and


 


(b)           the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.


 


Section 5.13  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of
the Holders of all the Securities of such series and any related coupons waive
any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences,
except a default:


 


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


 


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


 


35

















 


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


 


Section 5.14  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture agree, and each
Holder of any Security or coupon by such Holder’s acceptance thereof shall be
deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted
by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder of any Security or coupon for the enforcement of the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any
Security or the payment of any coupon on or after the Stated Maturity or
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or
after the Redemption Date).


 


Section 5.15  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Corporation covenants (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or
in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or
extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Corporation
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit
or advantage of any such law and covenants that it shall not hinder, delay or
impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but shall
suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had
been enacted.


 


ARTICLE SIX


 


The Trustee


 


Section 6.1 
Certain Duties and Responsibilities.


 


(a)           Except during the continuance of an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series:


 


(i)            the Trustee undertakes to perform,
with respect to Securities of such series, such duties and only such duties as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(ii)           in the absence of bad faith on its
part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively
rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and
conforming to the requirements of this 


 


36

















 


Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.


 


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


 


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


 


(i)            this subsection shall not be
construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this Section;


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.2  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, in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c)
of the Trust Indenture Act, notice of all such defaults hereunder known to the
Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, that except in the case of a
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund
installment with respect to Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be
protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a committee of directors or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of 


 


37

















 


such notice is in the interest of the Holders of
Securities of such series; and provided
further, that in the case of any default of the character specified
in Section 5.1(d) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice
to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof.  For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
such series.


 


Section 6.3  Certain Rights of Trustee.  Subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of
the Trust Indenture Act:


 


(a)           the Trustee may rely and shall be
protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate,

order, bond, debenture, note, coupon, other evidence of indebtedness or other
paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;

absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;


 


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


 


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

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


 


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

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


 


38














 


(h)           the Trustee shall not be charged with
knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series
for which it is acting as Trustee unless either (i) a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee assigned to its Corporate Trust Services unit (or any successor
division or department of the Trustee) shall have actual knowledge of the Event
of Default or (ii) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been
given to the Trustee by the Corporation, any other obligor on such Securities
or by any Holder of such Securities.


 


Section 6.4  Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of
Securities.  The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities (except the Trustee’s
certificates of authentication) and in any coupons shall be taken as the statements
of the Corporation, and the Trustee or any Authenticating Agent assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. 
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of the Securities or 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 Corporation are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set
forth therein.  The Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use or application by the
Corporation of 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 agent of the Corporation, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and coupons and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the
Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise deal with the Corporation or an Affiliate
thereof with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.


 


Section 6.6  Money Held in Trust.  Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.  The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed with the Corporation.


 


Section 6.7  Compensation and Reimbursement. 
The Corporation agrees:


 


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


 


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


 


(c)           to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the Trustee and its directors, employees, Affiliates and agents (“indemnitees”)
for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
(including the fees and expenses of counsel) arising out of or incurred in
connection with (i) the acceptance or administration of the trust or
trusts hereunder, except to the 


 


39

















 


extent with respect to
any indemnitee that such loss, liability or expense was due to such indemnitee’s
negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith, and (ii) any action taken,
suffered or omitted upon the Order of the Corporation.


 


As security
for the performance of the obligations of the Corporation under this Section,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for
the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on
particular Securities.  The obligations
of the Corporation under this Section shall survive the discharge of this
Indenture and the succession of the Trustee hereunder.


 


Section 6.8  Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.  If at any time the Trustee fails to comply
with the obligations imposed upon it by the provisions of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written
request therefor by the Corporation or by 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 then, (1) the Corporation, by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities or the
Securities of such series, or (2) subject to Section 315(e) of the
Trust Indenture Act, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder 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. 
The Trustee shall comply with the terms of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 6.9  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.  There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a Person organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, or any other
Person permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee 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, is subject to supervision or
examination by federal, state or District of Columbia authority and is not
otherwise ineligible under Section 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture
Act.  If such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published.  If at any time the Trustee
ceases 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 6.10  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
Successor.


 


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


 


(b)           The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Corporation.  If the
instrument of acceptance 


 


40

















 


by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11
is not delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.


 


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


 


(d)          If at any time:


 


(1)           the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.8 after written request therefor by
the Corporation or by any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder
of a Security for at least six months; or


 


(2)           the
Trustee ceases to be eligible under Section 6.9 and fails to resign after
written request therefor by the Corporation or by any such Holder; or


 


(3)           the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting or is adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property is appointed or any public officer
takes 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 Corporation by Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
with respect to all Securities, 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 for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and
all other similarly situated Holders, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.


 


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


 


41

















 


may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(f)            The Corporation 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 all 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 issuable 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.


 


Section 6.11  Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.


 


(a)           In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor
Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation
and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment.  Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Corporation or
the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its
charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder; provided,
that such property and money shall continue to be subject to any lien in favor
of the retiring Trustee provided for in Section 6.7.


 


(b)           In case of the appointment hereunder
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not
all) series, the Corporation, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver
an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept
such appointment and which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be
necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee
is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided 


 


42

















 


therein and each such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Corporation or any successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its lien provided for in Section 6.7, with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.12  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business. 
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
Person succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of
the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, if such Person is
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties
hereto.  In case any Securities shall
have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any
successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee
may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with
the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities.


 


Section 6.13  Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Corporation.  If
and when the Trustee is or becomes a creditor of the Corporation (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
Section 311 and any other provision of the Trust Indenture Act regarding
the collection of claims against the Corporation (or any such other obligor),
as the case may be.


 


Section 6.14  Appointment of Authenticating Agent.  At any time when any of the Securities remain
Outstanding, the Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with
respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on
behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes
as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. 
Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Corporation and shall at all times be a corporation
organized and doing business under the laws 


 


43

















 


of the United States of America, any state thereof or
the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2)
of the Trust Indenture Act) of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal, state or District of Columbia
authority.  If such corporation publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published.  If at any
time an Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.


 


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


 


An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Trustee and to the Corporation.  The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Corporation.  Upon receiving such a
notice of resignation or upon such termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which
shall be acceptable to the Corporation and shall (1) mail written notice
of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Registered Securities, if any, of the series with respect to which such
Authenticating Agent shall serve, as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register, and (2) if Securities of the series are issuable as
Bearer Securities, publish notice of such appointment at least once in an
Authorized Newspaper in the place where such successor Authenticating Agent has
its principal office if such office is located outside the United States.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible
under the provisions of this Section.


 


The provisions
of Sections 3.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.


 


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


 


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

Covenants


 


Section 10.1  Payment of Principal, Premium and
Interest.  The
Corporation covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities
that it shall duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, on the Securities of
that series in accordance with the terms of such Securities and this Indenture.


 


Section 10.2  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Corporation shall
maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or
agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation
in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served.  The Corporation initially
appoints the Trustee, acting through its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent
for said purposes.  The Corporation shall
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any
such office or agency.  If at any time
the Corporation fails to maintain such office or agency or fails to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.


 


The
Corporation may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities may be presented or surrendered for any or all of
such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided,  however,
that no such


 


50














 


designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Corporation
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for
Securities of any series for such purposes. The Corporation shall give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation and any change in the
location of any such office or agency.


 


Section 10.3  Money for Securities Payments to be Held in
Trust.  If the
Corporation at any time acts as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series
of Securities, it shall, on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any of the
Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if
any) or interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, 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 failure so to
act.


 


Whenever the
Corporation shall have one or more Paying Agents, it shall, prior to 10:00 a.m.,
New York City time, on each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, on any Securities,
deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium,
if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest), if any, so becoming
due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional
Interest), if any, and if the Corporation fails to make such deposit (unless
such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Corporation shall promptly notify the
Trustee of its failure so to act.


 


The
Corporation shall cause each Paying Agent 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:


 


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


 


(b)           give the Trustee notice of any
default by the Corporation (or any other obligor upon such Securities) in the
making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest (including
any Additional Interest), if any, in respect of any Security of any series;


 


(c)           at any time during the continuance of
any default with respect to a series of Securities, upon the written request of
the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such
Paying Agent with respect to such series; and


 


(d)           comply with the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent.


 


The
Corporation may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by an Order of
the Corporation direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Corporation or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the
Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Corporation or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any 


 


51

















 


Paying Agent to the Trustee, such paying Agent shall be released from
all further liability with respect to such money.


 


Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Corporation
in trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest), if any, on any Security and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest), if any, has become due and payable shall
(unless otherwise required by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or
abandoned or unclaimed property law) be paid on Request of the Corporation, or
(if then held by the Corporation) shall (unless otherwise required by mandatory
provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law) be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Corporation for payment
thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money, and all liability of the Corporation 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 Corporation cause to be published once, in

Section 10.4  Statement as to Compliance.  The Corporation shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Corporation ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate covering
the preceding calendar year, stating whether or not to the best knowledge of
the signers thereof the Corporation is in default in the performance,
observance or fulfillment of or compliance with any of the terms, provisions,
covenants and conditions of this Indenture, and if the Corporation is in
default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of

purpose of this Section 10.4, compliance shall be determined without
regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the
terms of this Indenture.

any) or interest, if any, on, or in respect of, any 


 


52

















 


Security of any series or any related 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 for in the terms of such Securities and this Section to the extent
that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in
respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section, and express mention
of the payment of any additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions

Securities (or if the Securities of that series shall not bear interest prior

any) is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal
(and premium, if any) or interest if there has been any change with respect to
the matters set forth in the above-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, 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 that series
shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or the related coupons

required, then such Order shall specify by country the amount, if any, required
to be withheld on such payments to such Holders of Securities or coupons, and
the Corporation shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional
amounts, if any, required by the terms of such Securities and the first

fees and expenses of counsel, arising out of or in connection with actions
taken or omitted in reliance on any Order furnished pursuant to this Section,
except to the extent with respect to any Section 10.6 Indemnitee any loss,
liability or expense is due to the negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith
of such Section 10.6 Indemnitee.


 


Section 10.7  Original Issue Discount.  For each year during which any Original Issue
Discount Securities are Outstanding, the Corporation shall furnish to each
Paying Agent in a timely fashion such information as may be reasonably
requested by each Paying Agent in order that each Paying Agent may prepare the

before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms
and (except as 


 


53

















 


otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.


 


Section 11.2  Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  The election of the Corporation to redeem any
Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.  In case of any redemption at the election of
the Corporation of all of the Securities of any series, the Corporation shall,
at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Corporation (unless
a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in
writing of such Redemption Date.  In case
of any redemption at the election of the Corporation of less than all the
Securities of any series, the Corporation shall, at least 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date fixed by the Corporation (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such Redemption
Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.  In the case of any redemption of Securities (1) prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (2) pursuant to an
election of the Corporation which is subject to a condition specified in the
terms of such Securities, the Corporation shall furnish the Trustee with an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.


 


Section 11.3  Selection by Trustee of Securities to be
Redeemed.  If less
than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, 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
(other than Securities of such series held by the Corporation), not previously
called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions
(equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series or
any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such
series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series.  Unless otherwise
provided in the Securities of a series, partial redemptions must be in an
amount not less than $1,000,000 principal amount of Securities.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 11.4  Notice of Redemption.  Notice of redemption shall be given in the
manner provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date.


 


All notices of
redemption shall state:


 


(a)           the Redemption Date,


 


(b)           the Redemption Price,


 


54

















 


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


 


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


 


(e)           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, which shall be the office or agency maintained
by the Corporation in each Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.2, and


 


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


 


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 Corporation
shall be given by the Corporation or, at the Corporation’s request, by the
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Corporation.


 


Section 11.5  Deposit of Redemption Price.  On or prior to any Redemption Date, the
Corporation shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Corporation is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date is an Interest Payment
Date) accrued interest, if any, on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed
on that date.


 


Section 11.6  Securities Payable on Redemption Date.  Notice of redemption having been given as
aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth in such notice having been
satisfied, 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 Corporation defaults in the payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any,) 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 Corporation at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, that 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 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 relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.


 


55

















 


If any Bearer
Security surrendered for redemption is not 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 Corporation 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 Security surrenders 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, that interest represented by
coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons
at an office or agency located outside of the United States except as otherwise
provided in Section 10.2.


 


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


 


Section 11.7  Securities Redeemed in Part.  Any Security which is to be redeemed only in
part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the
Corporation or the Trustee so requires with respect to any Registered Security,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such
Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Corporation shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same
series, Stated Maturity and 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.


 


Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1, if a Global Security
is so surrendered, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Depositary in global form, without service
charge, a new Global Security or Securities of the same series, Stated Maturity
and of any authorized denomination as requested by the Depositary, in an
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion
of the principal of the Global Security so surrendered.

such Securities have not been previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in
such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the
amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


 


Section 12.3  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.  Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking

cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2 and
stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have not previously
been so credited and shall also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered.  Not less than 30 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at
the expense of the Corporation in the manner provided in Section 11.4.  Such notice having been duly given, the
