instruments of substantially similar tenor signed (which may be electronically signed) by such
Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as

action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series may,
alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders of Securities of such series
voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting

expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or
record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are



-11-









 






herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company
and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, 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
1506.




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

date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a
certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary,
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 holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed
by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of
any Bearer Security continues until (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. The principal amount
and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may
also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee deems sufficient.



          (e) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its
option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of
Holders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section 316(c),
such record date shall be the record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which
shall be a date not earlier than the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders
generally in connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If
such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record
at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be



-12-









 







Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than 180
days after the record date.



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



     Section 105. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.



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




          (1) the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing (which may be via facsimile) to or
with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Administration,
or at any other address previously furnished in writing by the Trustee to the Holders or the
Company, or




          (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class

furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.



     Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.



          (a) Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered Securities
by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or by email, to each
such Holder affected by such event, at his physical address or email address as such address
appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders 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 shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed
shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder, whether or not such Holder
actually receives such notice.



-13-









 





          (b) In case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service or by
reason of any other cause, it shall be impracticable to mail notice of any event to Holders of
Registered Securities when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this
Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee shall be
deemed to be sufficient giving of such notice for every purpose hereunder.



          (c) Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities if
published at least twice in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and in such other city
or cities as may be specified in such Securities on a Business Day, the first such publication to
be not earlier than the earliest date, and not later than the latest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of the first
such publication.



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



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



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



     Section 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.



     The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.



     Section 110. Benefits of Indenture.



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

equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon
other than a provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu of this Section), payment of principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the

payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.



     Section 113. Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act.



     If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with
any provision (an “incorporated provision”) required by or deemed to be included in this Indenture
by operation of the TIA, such imposed duties or incorporated provisions shall control. If any
provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA that may be so modified
or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or
excluded, as the case may be.

     Section 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form.



          (a) If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of Section 301(b) and the provisions
of Section 302, any such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series
as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate

represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such
Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the

simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement, delivery
or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102

global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to

with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction
in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement
contemplated by the last sentence of Section 303.



          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on any Security
in permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.



          (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 309 and except as provided in Subsection (c) of
this Section, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee shall treat as

permanent global Security in registered form, or (2) in the case of a permanent global Security in
bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.



     Section 204. Form of Legend for Book-Entry Securities.



     Any Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder shall bear a legend (which would be
in addition to any other legends required in the case of a restricted Security) in substantially
the following form:



-17-









 






          THIS SECURITY IS A GLOBAL SECURITY WITHIN THE MEANING OF THE INDENTURE HEREINAFTER
REFERRED TO AND IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF A DEPOSITORY OR A NOMINEE THEREOF. THIS
SECURITY MAY NOT BE EXCHANGED IN WHOLE OR IN PART FOR A SECURITY REGISTERED, AND NO TRANSFER
OF THIS SECURITY IN WHOLE OR IN PART MAY BE REGISTERED, IN THE NAME OF ANY PERSON OTHER THAN

INDENTURE.




          UNLESS THIS CERTIFICATE IS PRESENTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE DEPOSITARY
TRUST COMPANY TO THE ISSUER OR ITS AGENT FOR REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER, EXCHANGE OR PAYMENT
AND ANY CERTIFICATE ISSUED IN EXCHANGE FOR THIS CERTIFICATE IS REGISTERED IN THE NAME OF
CEDE & CO., OR SUCH OTHER NAME AS REQUESTED BY AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF THE
DEPOSITORY, ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY
PERSON IS WRONGFUL, SINCE THE REGISTERED OWNER HEREOF, CEDE & CO., HAS AN INTEREST HEREIN.

          (c) All Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer Securities of
such series shall be substantially identical except, in the case of Registered Securities, as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution
(subject to Section 303) and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto. Not all Securities of any one series need to be issued at the same time and,
unless otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for
issuances of additional Securities of such series or to establish additional terms of such series
of Securities (which additional terms shall only be applicable to unissued or additional Securities

          (d) If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken

     Section 302. Denominations.

may be of any denomination) shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
thereof, and the Bearer Securities of such series, other than Bearer Securities issued in global
form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in a denomination of $5,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.



     Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.



          (a) The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by its Chairman, its President or Chief Executive Officer, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon or a facsimile or copy thereof and attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries or Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
and coupons may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized
officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.



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



-22-









 





          (c) At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupon appertaining thereto,
executed by the Company, to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, that, in connection with its
original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the
United States; and provided further that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of
Securities pursuant to Section 301, a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security shall have furnished
a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other certificate as
may be specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier
than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the
date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in
accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. If any Security shall be
represented by a permanent global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section
304, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon original issuance of such Security
or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in
connection with its original issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global
Bearer Security. Except as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and
deliver any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have been
detached and cancelled. If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and
if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such
Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such
Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities of such series, such as interest
rate, maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating
such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Sections 315(a)
through 315(d)) shall be fully protected in relying upon,



               (1) an Opinion of Counsel stating,




          (i) that the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;




          (ii) that the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and




          (iii) that such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto,
when completed by appropriate insertions and executed and delivered by the Company
to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws of general applicability relating
to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights,



-23-









 







to general equitable principles and to such other qualifications as such
counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of such
Securities and any coupons;




          (2) an Officers’ Certificate stating, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of
such certificate, that no Event of Default with respect to any of the Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing; and




          (3) an executed supplemental indenture (if any).



          (d) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of this Section 303, if all the
Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an
Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order, Opinion of
Counsel or Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Subsection (c) of this Section at
the time of issuance of each Security of such series, but such order, opinion and certificates,
with appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the
time of issuance of the first Security of such series.



          (e) The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such
Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee. Notwithstanding the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee will not be required
to authenticate Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency if the Trustee reasonably believes
that it would be unable to perform its duties with respect to such Securities.



          (f) Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and each Bearer
Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 301.



          (g) No Security or coupon shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security or Security to which such coupon
appertains a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly
executed by the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent by manual signature of an authorized signatory,
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.



          (h) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to
the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 310 together with a written statement (which
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that
such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture
such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall
never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     Section 304. Temporary Securities.



          (a) Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute,
and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued, 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 conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.



          (b) Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which shall be exchanged in
accordance with Section 304(c) or as otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities
of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder. Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by
any non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
the same series of authorized denominations; provided, that, no definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that a definitive
Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance
with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series.



          (c) (1) Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, this Section 304(c)
shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form.




          (2) If temporary Securities of any series are issued in global form, any such temporary
global Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the London office
of a depositary or common depositary (the “Common Depositary”), for the benefit of Euroclear
and Clearstream, for credit to the respective accounts of the beneficial owners of such
Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct).




          (3) Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or
determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the “Exchange
Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed
by the Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be
surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such
purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion
of such temporary global Security and upon receipt



-25-









 







of the Company Order described in Section 303, an equal aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as
the portion of such temporary global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to
be delivered in exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form,
registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any
combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if any combination
thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, that,
unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such presentation by the
Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the
Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such
temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated
the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Clearstream as to the portion of such
temporary global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant
to Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be delivered in
exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in compliance with the
requirements of Section 303.




          (4) Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a
beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall be exchanged
for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date
when the account holder instructs Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, to request
such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a
certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as
may be established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear
and Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for such series of
Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global
Security, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such
temporary global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person
does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear
or Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange for any
portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States.




          (5) Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered
hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, interest
payable on a temporary global Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such
series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and
Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and Clearstream to the
Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established pursuant to Section 301), for credit
without further interest thereon on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective
accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such



-26-









 







temporary global Security on such Interest Payment Date and who have each delivered to
Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days
prior to the Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established
pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein contained, the
certifications made pursuant to this clause (5) of Section 304(c) shall satisfy the
certification requirements of clauses (3) and (4) of this Section 304(c) and of Section
303(c) of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of
the temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will be
exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange
Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date, without
further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as otherwise provided in this clause
(5) of Section 304(c), no payments of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, if any,
owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary global Security will be made
unless and until such interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged
for an interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and
Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to the
expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the
Company.



     Section 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.



          (a) The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or in any
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each series of Securities (the
registers maintained in such office or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment being herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of Registered Securities. The Security
Register shall be in written form or any other form capable of being converted into written form
within a reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and transfers
of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein provided. In the event that the
Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security
Register at all reasonable times.



          (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at
any office or agency in a Place of Payment for the register and transfer of Securities that series,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Article III, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or
more new Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount, and tenor.



          (c) At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for
other Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination and of a like
aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and provisions, upon surrender of the
Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Registered Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the



-27-









 







Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of
Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for
Registered Securities.



          (d) If (but only if) expressly permitted in or pursuant to the applicable Board Resolution and
(subject to Section 303) set forth in the applicable Officers’ Certificate, or in any indenture
supplemental hereto, delivered as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Bearer
Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any
authorized denomination and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, 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, any such
permitted exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons,
or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if
there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and
any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying
Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, that, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002, 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 a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like
tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) 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 Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case
may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



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



          (f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section
301:



               (1) Each global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of
the Depositary designated for such global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.



-28-









 





               (2) Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no global Security may be exchanged
in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a global Security in whole or in
part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such global
Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either case the Company has not appointed
a successor Depositary within 90 days of receipt of such notice or cessation, as the case may be,
[(B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such global
Security or] (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company may at any time in its sole discretion determine that Securities issued
in the form of a global Security shall no longer be represented in whole or in party by such global
Security, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order therefor, shall authenticate and deliver
definitive Securities in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security.



               (3) Subject to clause (2) above, any exchange or transfer of a global Security for other
Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a global
Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such global
Security shall direct.



               (4) Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this
Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the
form of, and shall be, a global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a
Person other than the Depositary for such global Security or a nominee thereof.



               (5) If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global Security is entitled to
exchange such interest for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of
another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and this
Section 305 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall
have been given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date
on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive
Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial owner’s
interest in such permanent global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date
on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered by
the Common Depositary or such other depositary as shall be specified in the Company Order with
respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of such permanent global Security, an equal
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations
and of like tenor as the portion of such permanent global Security to be exchanged which, unless
the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered
Securities, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 days



-29-









 







before any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date
if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and
provided further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global
Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a
Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global Security after the
close of business at the office or agency where such exchange occurs 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 proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the
case may be, will 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 will 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 permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.



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



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



          (i) No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange
of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any
transfer.



          (j) The Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any
Security if such Security may be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before, and ending at the close of business on (i) if such
Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption and (ii) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the
first publication of the relevant notice of redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as
Registered Securities and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption, or (2) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any Registered Security to be redeemed in
part, the unredeemed portion thereof, or (3) 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 and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously surrendered
for redemption, or (4) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security which has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security
not to be so repaid.



-30-









 





          (k) Each Holder of a Security agrees to indemnify the Company and the Trustee against any
liability that may result from the transfer, exchange or assignment of such Holder’s Security in
violation of any provision of this Indenture and/or applicable United States Federal or state
securities law.



          (l) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law
with respect to any transfer of any interest in any Security (including any transfers between or
among Depository Participants or beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than
to require delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly
required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by, the terms of this Indenture, and to
examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the express requirements
hereof.



     Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.



          (a) If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon appertaining to it is
surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with, in proper cases, such security or
indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of
either of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount, and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.



          (b) If there shall be delivered to the Company and to 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 Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon Company Order 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 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.



          (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Sections 306(a) and (b), in case any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the
Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the
coupons, if any, appertaining to such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the
Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or
coupon; provided, that, payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on
Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an office
or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.



-31-









 





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



          (e) Every new Security of any series, together 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 mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, 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 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.



          (f) 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 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest Reset.



          (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 301, interest, if any, on any Registered Security that is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, that, each installment of interest,
if any, on any Registered Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (1) mailing a check for
such interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to
Section 309, to the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or (2) transfer
to an account located in the United States maintained by the payee.



          (b) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of
any series, payment of interest, if any, may be made, in the case of a Bearer Security, by transfer
to an account located outside the United States maintained by the payee.



          (c) Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent global Security
will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest Payment Date will be paid to each of
Euroclear and Clearstream with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for
its account by the Common Depositary, for the purpose of permitting each of Euroclear and
Clearstream to credit the interest, if any, received by it in respect of such permanent global
Security to the accounts of the beneficial owners thereof.



          (d) In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered
Security of such series 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 will not
be



-32-









 







 payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange
for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.



          (e) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of any series that 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 registered Holder thereof
on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted
Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2)
of this Subsection:




          (1) The Company 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 Company 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 (which shall
not be less than 20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time
the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the Currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b),
312(d) and 312(e)) equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit
on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to
the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee
of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of
such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so given, 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 (2) of this Subsection. 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 will not be payable on such proposed date of
payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in



-33-









 







exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such
coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.




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



          (f) The provisions of this Section 307(f) may be made applicable to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified
pursuant to such Section 301). The interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used to
calculate such interest rate, if applicable) on any Security of such series may be reset by the
Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an “Optional Reset
Date”). The Company may exercise such option with respect to such Security by notifying the
Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to an Optional Reset Date for
such Security. Not later than 40 days prior to each Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall
transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice
(the “Reset Notice”) indicating whether the Company has elected to reset the interest rate (or the
spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), and if so (1)
such new interest rate (or such new spread or spread multiplier, if applicable) and (2) the
provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next
Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity of such
Security (each such period a “Subsequent Interest Period”), including the date or dates on which or
the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may occur
during the Subsequent Interest Period.



          (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date,
the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or the spread or spread multiplier used
to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in the Reset Notice and establish a
higher interest rate (or a spread or spread multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if
applicable) for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner
provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate (or such spread or spread
multiplier providing for a higher interest rate, if applicable) to the Holder of such Security.
Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate (or the
spread or spread multiplier used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) is reset on an
Optional Reset Date, and with respect to which the Holders of such Securities have not tendered
such Securities for repayment (or have validly revoked any such tender) pursuant to Section 307(h),
will bear such higher interest rate (or such spread or spread multiplier providing for a higher
interest rate, if applicable).



          (h) The Holder of any such Security may have the option to elect repayment by the Company of
the principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an
Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article XIII for repayment
at the option of Holders except that the period for delivery or



-34-









 







notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to such
Optional Reset Date and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant
to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender or
repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.



          (i) Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, 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 308. Optional Extension of Maturity.



          (a) The provisions of this Section 308 may be made applicable to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified
pursuant to such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended
at the option of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each
an “Extension Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity”) set forth on the face
of such Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying
the Trustee of such exercise at least 45 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of
such Security in effect prior to the exercise of such option (the “Original Stated Maturity”). If
the Company exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in
Section 106, to the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated
Maturity a notice (the “Extension Notice”) indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the
Stated Maturity, (ii) the new Stated Maturity, (iii) the interest rate (or spread, spread
multiplier or other formula used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable), if any,
applicable to the Extension Period and (iv) the provisions, if any, for redemption during such
Extension Period. Upon the Trustee’s transmittal of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity of
such Security shall be extended automatically and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and
as described in Section 308(b), such Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal
of such Extension Notice.



          (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days before the Original Stated Maturity
of such Security, the Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate (or spread, spread
multiplier or other formula used to calculate such interest rate, if applicable) provided for in
the Extension Notice and establish a higher interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other
formula used to calculate such higher interest rate, if applicable) for the Extension Period by
causing the Trustee to transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher
interest rate (or spread, spread multiplier or other formula used to calculate such interest rate,
if applicable) to the Holder of such Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities
with respect to which the Stated Maturity is extended will bear such higher interest rate.



          (c) If the Company extends the Stated Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the
option to elect repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a
price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to
obtain repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Stated Maturity
thereof, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article XIII for



-35-









 







repayment at the option of Holders, except that the period for delivery or notification to the
Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and
except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice,
the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee revoke such tender for repayment until the close of
business on the tenth day before the Original Stated Maturity.



     Section 309. Persons Deemed Owners.



          (a) Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the
purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 305 and
307) interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether
or not such Registered Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



          (b) Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery.
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, 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 be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee
nor any agent of the Company, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



          (c) None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.



          (d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the Company, or the Trustee, from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a
Holder, with respect to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of
beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its nominee) as Holder of such global Security.



     Section 310. Cancellation.



          (a) All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment at the option of
the Holder, 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 any
such Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any
such purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee
for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person
for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation



-36-









 







any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold,
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall
so acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by
this Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the
Trustee in its customary manner, unless by a Company Order the Company directs that cancelled
Securities be returned to the Company.



     Section 311. Computation of Interest.



     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to Securities of any
series, interest, if any, on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months.



     Section 312. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities.



          (a) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, with
respect to Registered Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in
Subsection (b) of this Section or the Holders of which have not made the election provided for in
Subsection (b) of this Section, and with respect to Bearer Securities of any series, except as
provided in Subsection (d) of this Section, payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on any Registered or Bearer Security of such series will be made in the Currency
in which such Registered Security or Bearer Security, as the case may be, is payable. The
provisions of this Section 312 may be modified or superseded with respect to any Securities
pursuant to Section 301.



          (b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Registered Securities of any
series that Holders shall have the option, subject to Subsection (d) and (e) of this Section, to
receive payments of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on such Registered
Securities in any of the Currencies which may be designated for such election by delivering to the
Trustee a written election with signature guarantees and in the applicable form established
pursuant to Section 301, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately
preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such
Currency, such election will remain in effect for such Holder or any transferee of such Holder
until changed by such Holder or such transferee by written notice to the Trustee (but any such
change must be made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding
the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such
change of election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of
such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or with respect to which the
Company has deposited funds pursuant to Article IV or XIV or with respect to which a notice of
redemption has been given by the Company or a notice of option to elect repayment has been sent by
such Holder or such transferee). Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have
delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Registered Securities not later than
the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable
payment date in



-37-









 







the relevant Currency as provided in Subsection (a) of this Section. The Trustee shall notify
the Exchange Rate Agent as soon as practicable after the Election Date of the aggregate principal
amount of Registered Securities for which Holders have made such written election.



          (c) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the election referred to in
Subsection (b) of this Section has been provided for pursuant to Section 301, then, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, not later than the fourth Business Day after the
Election Date for each payment date for Registered Securities of any series, the Exchange Rate
Agent will deliver to the Company a written notice specifying the Currency in which Registered
Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Registered Securities to be paid on such payment
date, specifying the amounts in such Currency so payable in respect of the Registered Securities as
to which the Holders of Registered Securities of such Series shall have elected to be paid in
another Currency as provided in Subsection (b) of this Section. If the election referred to in
Subsection (b) of this Section has been provided for pursuant to Section 301 and if at least one
Holder has made such election, then, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, on the
second Business Day preceding such payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee for such
series of Registered Securities an Exchange Rate Officer’s Certificate in respect of the Dollar or
Foreign Currency payments to be made on such payment date. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301, the Dollar or Foreign Currency amount receivable by Holders of Registered Securities
who have elected payment in a Currency as provided in Subsection (b) of this Section shall be
determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the
second Business Day (the “Valuation Date”) immediately preceding each payment date, and such
determination shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.



          (d) If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency in which any of the
Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to
Subsection (b) of this Section, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such
Foreign Currency occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency was used (the
“Conversion Date”), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such payment date.
Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, the Dollar amount to be paid by the Company to
the Trustee and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect
to such payment date shall be, in the case of a Foreign Currency other than a currency unit, the
Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent
of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent in the manner provided
in Subsection (f) or (g) of this Section.



          (e) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if the Holder of a Registered Security
denominated in any Currency shall have elected to be paid in another Currency as provided in
Subsection (b) of this Section, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected
Currency, such Holder shall receive payment in the Currency in which payment would have been made
in the absence of such election; and if a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the Currency in
which payment would have been made in the absence of



-38-









 







such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in Subsection (d) of
this Section.



          (f) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate
Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment date by converting the specified Foreign
Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.



          (g) The “Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit” shall be determined by the Exchange Rate
Agent and subject to the provisions of Subsection (h) of this Section shall be the sum of each
amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the
Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each
payment.



          (h) For purposes of this Section 312, the following terms shall have the following meanings:



     A “Component Currency” shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component
currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the euro.



     A “Specified Amount” of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component
Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but
not limited to, the euro, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit
of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of
such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the
Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single Currency, the
respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such
single Currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single Currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified
Amount and such single Currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion
Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of
such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, having an
aggregate Dollar Equivalent value at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement equal
to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market
Exchange Rate immediately before such division, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified
Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion
Date of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the euro, a Conversion Event
(other than any event referred to above in this definition of “Specified Amount”) occurs with
respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable
Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating
the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate
in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency.



     “Election Date” shall mean the Regular Record Date for the applicable series of Registered
Securities or at least 16 days prior to Maturity, as the case may be, or such other prior date for
any series of Registered Securities as specified pursuant to clause 13 of Section 301 by



-39-









 







which the written election referred to in Section 312(b) may be made.



          (i) All decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar
Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange
Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding
upon the Company, the Trustee and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the
relevant Currency. The Exchange Rate Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Company and
the Trustee of any such decision or determination.



          (j) In the event that the Company determines in good faith that a Conversion Event has
occurred with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Company will immediately give written notice
thereof to the Trustee and to the Exchange Rate Agent (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter
give notice in the manner provided for in Section 106 to the affected Holders) specifying the
Conversion Date. In the event the Company so determines that a Conversion Event has occurred with
respect to the euro or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the
Company will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Exchange Rate Agent
(and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 106 to the
affected Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component
Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event the Company determines in good faith that any
subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount
above has occurred, the Company will similarly give written notice to the Trustee and the Exchange
Rate Agent.



          (k) The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected
in conclusively relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the
Exchange Rate Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine the accuracy
or validity of such information independent of the Company or the Exchange Rate Agent.



     Section 313. Appointment and Resignation of Successor Exchange Rate Agent.



          (a) Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of
any series (1) are denominated in a Foreign Currency or (2) may be payable in a Foreign Currency,
or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Company will
maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at least one Exchange
Rate Agent. The Company will cause the Exchange Rate Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange
determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 301 for the purpose of
determining the applicable rate of exchange and, if applicable, for the purpose of converting the
issued Foreign Currency into the applicable payment Currency for the payment of principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 312.



          (b) No resignation of the Exchange Rate Agent and no appointment of a successor Exchange Rate
Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Exchange Rate Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Company and the
Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the
successor Exchange Rate Agent.



-40-









 





          (c) If the Exchange Rate Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a
vacancy shall occur in the office of the Exchange Rate Agent for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly
appoint a successor Exchange Rate Agent or Exchange Rate Agents with respect to the Securities of
that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Exchange Rate Agent may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that, unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, at any time there shall only be one Exchange Rate
Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series that are originally issued by the
Company on the same date and that are initially denominated and/or payable in the same Currency).



     Section 314. CUSIP Numbers.



     The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall indicate the “CUSIP” numbers of the Securities in notices of redemption as
a convenience to Holders; provided 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 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. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the
“CUSIP” numbers.

     Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.



          (a) If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) and (6) of
Section 501(a) with respect to the Company) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then and 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 (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such
portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) plus accrued and
unpaid interest of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interests or specified portion thereof
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clauses (5) and (6)
of Section 501(a) with respect to the Company occurs, the amounts described above with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of all series shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. Upon payment of
such principal and interest, all of the Company’s obligations under the Securities of such Series
and this Indenture, other than obligations under Section 606, shall terminate.



          (b) 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 provided in this Article, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:




          (1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient in cash to pay
all principal, interest and Additional Amounts which have become due other than by such
declaration of acceleration, interest or any such overdue amounts, and amounts owing the
Trustee;




          (2) all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
nonpayment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series
which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived
as provided in Section 514; and




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



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



     Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.



          (a) The Company covenants that if:




          (1) default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or Additional Amounts
on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such



-45-









 







interest or Additional Amounts becomes due and payable and such default continues for a
period of 30 days, or




          (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security of any series at its Maturity,


then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the
Holders of Securities of such series 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 upon
any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall
be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest, if any, at the rate or rates
borne by or provided for 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.




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



          (c) 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 necessary 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 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.



          (a) In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the
Company, or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the Company, or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of
any series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and

allowed in such judicial proceeding, and




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


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar
official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.




          (b) Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent

authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in any
such proceeding.

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 506. Application of Money Collected.



     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following

     Section 507. Limitation on Suits.



     No Holder of any Security of any series or any related coupon 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 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that
series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such
Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;



          (c) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable indemnity satisfactory to it
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 such Holders.




     Section 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest
and Additional Amounts, if Any.



     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

Amounts, if any, on such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates 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 509. 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 determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder,



-48-









 







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



     Section 510. 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 306(f), 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 511. 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 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.

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,



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



          (c) the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in personal liability or be
unjustly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not consenting.



     Section 513. Undertaking for Costs.



     All parties to this Indenture agree that in any suit for the enforcement of any right or
remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by
it as a Trustee, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses, against any party litigant in
the suit,



-49-









 







having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party
litigant, provided that this Section 513 shall not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a
Holder pursuant to Section 508 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of
the then Outstanding Securities.



     Section 514. Waiver of Past Defaults.



          (a) 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




          (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, or
Additional Amounts on any Security of such series or any related coupons, or




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



     (b) 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 Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.



     Section 515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.



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

repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably
assured to it.



     Section 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.



     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of

or the proceeds thereof.

the Company in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities

          (2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of a Security who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public

shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of 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, except as provided in Section 613, there shall be only one
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the
retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such
appointment, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders
of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a Security
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf
of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the

Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.

     Section 609. 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 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and
to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee; but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.



          (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which




          (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates,




          (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be
vested in the retiring Trustee, and




          (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture
shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee
shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts
hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of
such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any
further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or
any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such
successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates.



-56-









 





          (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsection (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 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.



     Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, 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 or coupons 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 or coupons so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities or coupons. In case
any Securities or coupons shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such
successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities or coupons, in either its own name
or that of its predecessor Trustee, with the full force and effect which this Indenture provides
for the certificate of authentication of the Trustee.



     Section 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.



          (a) 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, 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. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by
an instrument in writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument
shall be promptly furnished to the Company. 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 laws of the United States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized
under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less
than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authorities. If
such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this

such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.



          (b) 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, provided such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section,
without the execution or filing of any paper or further act on the part of the Trustee or the
Authenticating Agent.



          (c) An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by giving
written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the Company. The Trustee for
any series of Securities may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving
written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee for
such series may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company
and shall give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect
to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set forth in Section 106. 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 herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.



          (d) The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation including reimbursement of its reasonable expenses for its services under this
Section.



          (e) 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 or in lieu of the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication substantially in the
following form:

          (1) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee
shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such
separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such separate trustee or
co-trustee is not authorized to act separately without the Trustee joining in such act),
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or
acts are to be performed the Trustee shall be incompetent or



-59-









 






unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee,
but solely at the direction of the Trustee;




          (2) no trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of
any other trustee hereunder;




          (3) the Trustee may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate

the purposes of enforcing any rights or taking any other action on behalf of the Holders of
any Securities issued hereunder.

upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to and shall take all actions necessary to
comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against
the Company (or any such other obligor).



     Section 615. Trustee’s Application for Instructions from the Company.

an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions in response to such application

that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities
of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided,
that, if the Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange or any
other stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so
require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the



-68-









 







Securities of that series in Luxembourg or any other required city located outside the
United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on
such exchange, and




               (3) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for
that series located outside the United States an office or agency where any Registered
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities
of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where Securities of that series that are
convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, as applicable and

Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency.



          (b) If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or
shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices
and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer
Securities of that series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment at
the offices specified in the Security, in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the same
as its agent to receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders,

if the Securities of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on any Bearer Security shall be made at the office of the Company’s Paying
Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the
full amount of such principal, premium or interest, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies
outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in accordance with this
Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.




          (d) The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such
purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, that, no such designation
or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or
agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency. Unless otherwise

          (e) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, if and
so long as the Securities of any series




               (1) are denominated in a Currency other than Dollars,



               (2) may be payable in a Currency other than Dollars, or



               (3) so long as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture,


the Company will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, at
least one Exchange Rate Agent.




     Section 1003. Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.



          (a) If the Company or any Subsidiary or any Affiliate of any of them shall at any time act as
Paying Agent with respect to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any of the
Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto a sum in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if
applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on Securities of such series so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.




          (b) Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities and
any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum (in the
Currency described in Section 1003(a)) sufficient to pay the principal (or premium, if any) or
interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium or interest and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.




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




          (d) Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed
for two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to
the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment of such principal,




-70-









 




premium or interest on any Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the
Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, that, the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before
being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published
once, in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series, or mailed to each Holder
of Registered Securities of such series, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a
date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.




     Section 1004. Corporate Existence.



     Subject to Article VIII, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence and material rights and
franchises (charter and statutory); provided, that, neither the Company shall be required to
preserve any such right or franchise if it shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer necessary or desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company; and provided further,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit a sale, transfer or conveyance of a Subsidiary or
any of its assets in compliance with the terms of the Indenture.



     Section 1005. Additional Amounts.



          (a) If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the Company
will pay to the Holder of a Security of such series or any coupon appertaining thereto Additional
Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is
mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if
any, on any Security of any series or payment of 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 by the terms of such series established pursuant to
Section 301 to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
(if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in
those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.




          (b) Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a
series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest
Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of that series will
not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium
is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal, premium or interest if
there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’
Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or
Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and
such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal, premium or interest on the
Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related
coupons who are not United States persons without withholding for or on account of any tax,
assessment or other governmental charge described in



-71-









 






the Securities of the series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’
Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments
to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will pay to the
Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the terms of such Securities. In
the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the
above-mentioned certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (1) to assume
that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until it
shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (2) to make all payments of principal of
(or premium, if any) and interest with respect to the Securities of a series or related coupons
without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the
Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection
with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate furnished
pursuant to this Section.




     Section 1006. Statement as to Compliance.



     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a
brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal
accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and
covenants under this Indenture and, if the Company is in default, specifying all such defaults and
the nature and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge. For purposes of this Section
1006, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of
notice under this Indenture.



     Section 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.



     With respect to the Securities of any series, the Company may omit in any particular instance
to comply with any term, provision or condition specified pursuant to Section 301 as being subject
to this Section 1007, if before or after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities of such series affected by such term,
provision or condition, by Act of such Holders, waive such compliance in such instance or generally
waive compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or
affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such
waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in
respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.



     Section 1008. Statement by Officers as to Default.



     The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, as soon as possible and in any event within [ten]
days after the Company becomes aware of the occurrence of any Event of Default or an event which,
with notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default, an Officers’
Certificate setting forth the details of such Event of Default or default and the action which the
Company proposes to take with respect thereto.

for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.



     Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.



     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or pursuant to a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all of the
Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by
the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee 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 prior to the expiration of any restriction
on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction.



     Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.



          (a) If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with the same terms
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
issued on such date with the same terms 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.




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




          (c) 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 Security redeemed or to

is to be redeemed.




     Section 1104. Notice of Redemption.



          (a) Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than

-73-









 






Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to give such notice in the manner herein
provided to the Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any
defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.




          (b) Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder receives
the notice. All notices of redemption shall state:





               (1) the Redemption Date,




               (2) the Redemption Price and the amount of accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date payable as provided in Section 1106,




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




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




               (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106 will become due and payable upon
each such Security, or the portion thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest
thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,




               (6) the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in the case of
Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the
Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest, if any,




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




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




               (9) if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered Securities
of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for
Registered Securities not subject to redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section
305 or otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may
be made, and

               (10) the CUSIP number of such Security, if any.



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




     Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.



     On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it may not do in the case
of a sinking fund payment under Article XII, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section
1003) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except
as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if
applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay on the Redemption
Date the Redemption Price of, and (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301) accrued and
unpaid interest, if any, on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on
that date.



     Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.



          (a) Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities of any series so to be
redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein
specified in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as
provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of
the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall if the same were
interest-bearing cease to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any
Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon
surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all
coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be
paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with 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 at an office or agency located
outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such
interest; and provided further that installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated
Maturity is prior to (or, if specified pursuant to Section 301, on) 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 307.




          (b) If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all
appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting
from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there
be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they



-75-









 






may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of
such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect
of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled
to receive the amount so deducted; provided, that, interest represented by coupons shall be payable
only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in
Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.




          (c) If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal (and premium, if any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the
Redemption Date at the rate of interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original
Issue Discount Security, at the Yield to Maturity of such Security.




     Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.



     Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of
this Article or of Article XII) shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge a new Security or Securities of the
same series, 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. However, if less than all the Securities of any series with differing issue dates,
interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its sole discretion shall
select the particular Securities to be redeemed and shall notify the Trustee in writing thereof at
least 45 days prior to the relevant redemption date.



ARTICLE XII




SINKING FUNDS




     Section 1201. Applicability of Article.



          (a) The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement
of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series.




          (b) The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess
of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities of any series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of any Securities
of any series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as
provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.




-76-









 





     Section 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.



     Except as otherwise specifically contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series,
the Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of a series, (a) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other
than any previously called for redemption) together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such
series with all unmatured coupons appertaining thereto and (b) apply as a credit Securities of such
series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such
Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the
terms of such Securities, as provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided that such
Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable
Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund
and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.



     Section 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.



     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for Securities of any series,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the
portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the Currency in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and
312(e)) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting
Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added in
cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an
optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 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 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner
provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities
shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.



ARTICLE XIII




REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS




     Section 1301. Applicability of Article.



     Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the option of Holders
thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as otherwise
specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this
Article.



-77-









 





     Section 1302. Repayment of Securities.



     Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the option of the Holders
thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of such Securities, be repaid at the Repayment
Price thereof, together with interest, if any, thereon accrued to the Repayment Date specified in
or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on or before the Repayment
Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company or any Subsidiary
or any Affiliate of any of them is acting as Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided
in Section 1003) an amount of money in the Currency in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series
and except, if applicable, as provided in Sections 312(b), 312(d) and 312(e)) sufficient to pay the
Repayment Price of, and (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301) accrued interest on,
all the Securities or portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.



     Section 1303. Exercise of Option.



     Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders thereof will
contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such Securities. To be repaid at the
option of the Holder, any Security so providing for such repayment, with the “Option to Elect
Repayment” form on the reverse of such Security duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing), must be received by the Company at the Place of Payment
therefor specified in the terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the
Company shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than 45 days nor
later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date. If less than the entire Repayment Price of such
Security is to be repaid in accordance with the terms of such Security, the portion of the
Repayment Price of such Security to be repaid, in increments of the minimum denomination for
Securities of such series, and the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to
be issued to the Holder for the portion of such Security surrendered that is not to be repaid, must
be specified. Any Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be
repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of such Security would be
less than the minimum authorized denomination of Securities of the series of which such Security to
be repaid is a part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security providing
for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the repayment option by the Holder
shall be irrevocable unless waived by the Company.



     Section 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and Payable.



          (a) If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the Holders thereof
shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as provided by or pursuant to the terms
of such Securities, such Securities or the portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall
become due and payable and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified,
and on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease
to bear interest and the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
repaid, except to the extent provided below, shall



-78-









 






be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for repayment in accordance with such
provisions, together with all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment
Date, the Repayment Price of such Security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, that, coupons whose Stated Maturity
is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside
the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and provided further
that installments of interest on Registered Securities, whose Stated Maturity is prior to (or, if
specified pursuant to Section 301, on) the Repayment Date shall be payable (but without interest
thereon, unless the Company shall default in the payment thereof) 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 307.




          (b) If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied by all
appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may be paid after deducting
from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section 1302 an amount equal to the face amount of
all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the
Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may
require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such
Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of
which a deduction shall have been made as provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, that, interest represented by coupons shall
be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of those coupons.




          (c) If any Security surrendered for repayment shall not be so repaid upon surrender thereof,
the Repayment Price shall, until paid, bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of
interest set forth in such Security or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, at the
Yield to Maturity of such Security.




     Section 1305. Securities Repaid in Part.



     Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part only, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security,
without service charge and at the expense of the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such Security so
surrendered which is not to be repaid.

ARTICLE XIV




DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE




     Section 1401. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance.



     If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (a) defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b) covenant defeasance of the Securities of
or within a series under Section 1403, then the provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case
may be, together with the other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may
be specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board
Resolution, at any time, with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto,
elect to have Section 1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) be applied to such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set
forth below in this Article.



     Section 1402. Defeasance and Discharge.



          (a) Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to
any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall each be deemed to have been discharged from
its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For
this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of this Section 1402,
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:




               (1) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto
to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in
such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due,



               (2) the obligations of the Company with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1005 with respect to the rights, if any, of the holders of
such Securities to require the Company to repay such Securities as contemplated by Article XIII and
with respect to the rights, if any, of holders to convert or exchange such Securities into other
Securities,



-80-









 





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



               (4) subject to compliance with this Article XIV, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 1402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect
to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.



     Section 1403. Covenant Defeasance.



     Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall each be released from its obligations under any
other covenant specified pursuant to Section 301, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall thereafter be deemed to not be “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with any applicable covenant, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance means
that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of
any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of reference
in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document
and such omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under clauses (4)
or (7) of Section 501(a) or otherwise except as specified in accordance with Section 301, as the
case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be unaffected thereby.



     Section 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



     The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any
Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any coupons appertaining thereto:



          (a) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
(or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the
provisions of this Article XIV applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making
the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount (in such
Currency in which such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as
payable at Stated Maturity), or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and
coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the Currency in which such Securities and
coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) which through the
scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will
provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, money in an
amount, or (3) a combination thereof in an amount,



-81-









 






sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
or nationally recognized independent investment banking firm expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee
(or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking
fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto.




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




          (c) No Default or Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar
as clauses (5) and (6) of Section 501(a) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the
91st day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be
deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).




          (d) In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (1) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (2) since the date of execution of this
Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the
effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
defeasance had not occurred.




          (e) In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such covenant
defeasance had not occurred.




          (f) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the
covenant defeasance under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an Opinion
of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit pursuant to subsection (a) above
and the related exercise of the Company’s option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case
may be), registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, by the
Company, with respect to the trust funds representing such deposit or by the trustee for such trust
funds or (ii) all necessary registrations under said Act have been effected.




-82-









 





          (g) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such defeasance or covenant
defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute terms, conditions or
limitations which may be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.





	 	 	Section 1405. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.





          (a) Subject to the provisions of Section 1003(d), all money and Government Obligations (or
other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section
1405, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any
series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.




          (b) Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301, if, after
a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made, (1) the Holder of a Security in respect of
which such deposit was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 312(b) or the terms
of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to
Section 1404(a) has been made in respect of such Security, or (2) a Conversion Event occurs as
contemplated in Section 312(d) or 312(e) or by the terms of any Security in respect of which the
deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged
and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any,
on such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to
time as specified below in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of
such election or Conversion Event based on the applicable Market Exchange Rate for such Currency in
effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion
Event, for such Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.




          (c) The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1404 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge
which by law is for the account of the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.




          (d) Anything in this Article XIV to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or Government Obligations (or
other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public



-83-









 






accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in
excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or
covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Article.




     Section 1406. Reinstatement.



     If the Trustee or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with Section
1405 by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and such Securities and any related coupons shall be revived and reinstated as though no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 1402 or 1403, as the case may be, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1405;
provided, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest,
if any, on any such Security or any related coupon following the reinstatement of its obligations,
the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities and any related
coupons to receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.

regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities of a series in regard
to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in
regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and examination of
proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning
the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or
required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified
in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the manner specified in Section
104 or by having the signature of the Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any
trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of Bearer
Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on
their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other
proof.




          (b) The Company shall, by an instrument in writing appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by Holders of Securities as provided in Section

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of
Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by them. The permanent
chairman of the meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting
their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least
in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be

reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or
more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and

court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to control all of its
decisions (“United States person(s)”), (ii) are owned by United States person(s) that are (a)

                     principal amount of the above-captioned Securities (i) is owned by person(s)
that are not citizens or residents of the United States, domestic partnerships, domestic
corporations or any estate the income of which is subject to United States Federal income taxation
regardless of its source or a trust whose administration is subject to the primary supervision of a
United States court and which has one or more United States persons who have the authority to
control all of its decisions (“United States person(s)”), (ii) is owned by United States person(s)
that are (a) foreign branches of United States financial institutions (financial institutions, as
defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations Section 1.165-12(c)(1)(v) are herein referred to as “financial
institutions”) purchasing for their own account or for resale, or (b) United States person(s) who
acquired the Securities through foreign branches of United States financial institutions and who
hold the Securities through such United States financial institutions on the date hereof (and in
either case (a) or (b), each such financial institution has agreed, on its own behalf or through
its agent, that we may advise Molina Healthcare, Inc. or its agent that such financial institution
will 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), or (iii) is owned by United States or foreign
financial institution(s) for purposes of resale during the restricted period (as defined in United
States Treasury Regulations Section 1.163-5(c)(2)(i)(D)(7)), and, to the further effect, that
financial institutions described in clause (iii) above (whether or not also described in clause (i)
or (ii)) have certified that they have not acquired the Securities for purposes of resale directly
or indirectly to a United States person or to a person within the United States or its possessions.



     As used herein, “United States” means the United States of America (including the states and
the District of Columbia); and its “possessions” include Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands,
Guam, American Samoa, Wake Island and the Northern Mariana Islands.



     We further certify that (i) we are not making available herewith for exchange (or, if
relevant, collection of any interest) any portion of the temporary global Security representing the
above-captioned Securities excepted in the above-referenced certificates of Member Organizations
and (ii) as of the date hereof we have not received any notification from any of our Member
