The Securities


 


SECTION 2.01.  Amount of
Securities; Issuable in Series.  The
aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. 
All Securities shall be identical in all respects other than issue
prices and issuance dates.  The
Securities may be issued in one or more series; provided, however,
that any Securities issued with original issue discount (“OID”) for Federal
income tax purposes shall not be issued as part of the same series as any
Securities that are issued with a different amount of OID or are not issued
with OID.  All Securities of any one
series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination.


 


Subject to Section 2.03,
the Trustee shall authenticate Securities for original issue on the Issue Date
in the aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000 (the “Original Securities”).  With respect to any Securities issued after
the Issue Date (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration
of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, Original Securities pursuant
to Section 2.07, 2.08, 2.09 or 3.06 or Appendix A), there shall be
established in or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of Directors, and
subject to Section 2.03, set forth, or determined in the manner provided
in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto, prior to the issuance of such Securities:


 


(1)  whether
such Securities shall be issued as part of a new or existing series of
Securities and the title of such Securities (which shall distinguish the
Securities of the series from Securities of any other series);


 


(2)  the
aggregate principal amount of such Securities that may be authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture;


 


(3)  the
issue price and issuance date of such Securities, including the date from which
interest on such Securities shall accrue;


 


(4)  if
applicable, that such Securities shall be issuable in whole or in part in the
form of one or more Global Securities and, in such case, the respective


 


10





















 


depositories
for such Global Securities, the form of any legend or legends that shall be
borne by any such Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth
in Exhibit 1 to Appendix A and any circumstances in addition to or in
lieu of those set forth in Section 2.3 of Appendix A in which any
such Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities
registered, and any transfer of such Global Security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name or names of Persons other than the depository for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof;


 


(5)  if
applicable, that such Securities shall not be issued in the form of Initial
Securities subject to Appendix A, but shall be issued in the form of Exchange
Securities as set forth in Exhibit A; and


 


(6)  any CUSIP
or other identifying number.


 


If any of the
terms of any series are established by action taken pursuant to a resolution of
the Board of Directors, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be
certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Company and
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate or the trust indenture supplemental hereto setting forth the terms
of the series.


 


SECTION 2.02.  Form and
Dating.  Provisions relating to the
Initial Securities of each series and the Exchange Securities are set forth in
Appendix A, which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made part of this
Indenture.  The Initial Securities of
each series and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be
substantially in the form of Exhibit 1 to Appendix A which is hereby
incorporated in and expressly made a part of this Indenture.  The Exchange Securities and the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A,
which is hereby incorporated in and expressly made a part of this
Indenture.  The Securities of each series
may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange
rule, agreements to which the Company is subject, if any, or usage, provided
that any such notation, legend or endorsement is in a form reasonably
acceptable to the Company.  Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication. 
The terms of the Securities of each series set forth in Exhibit 1
to Appendix A and Exhibit A are part of the terms of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 2.03.  Execution
and Authentication.  Two Officers
shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.


 


If an Officer
whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the time the
Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security shall be valid nevertheless.


 


At any time
and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the Company in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the


 


11





















 


Trustee in accordance with such
written order of the Company shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.


 


A Security
shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee manually signs
the certificate of authentication on the Security.  The signature shall be conclusive evidence
that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.


 


The Trustee
may appoint an authenticating agent reasonably acceptable to the Company to
authenticate the Securities.  Unless
limited by the terms of such appointment, an authenticating agent may
authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so.  Each reference in this Indenture to
authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent.  An authenticating agent has the same rights
as any Registrar, Paying Agent or agent for service of notices and demands.


 


SECTION 2.04.  Registrar
and Paying Agent.  The Company shall
maintain an office or agency in the City of New York where Securities may be
presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the “Registrar”) and an
office or agency where Securities may be presented for payment (the “Paying
Agent”).  The Registrar shall keep a
register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange.  The Company may have one or more co-registrars
and one or more additional paying agents. 
The term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent.


 


The Company
shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement with any Registrar, Paying
Agent or co-registrar not a party to this Indenture, which shall incorporate
the terms of the TIA applicable to paying agents.  The agreement shall implement the provisions
of this Indenture that relate to such agent. 
The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee of the name and address of
any such agent.  If the Company fails to
maintain a Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such, to the
extent that it is lawful to so act, and shall be entitled to appropriate
compensation therefor pursuant to Section 7.07.  The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may
act as Paying Agent, Registrar, co-registrar or transfer agent.


 


So long as the
Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of
such Exchange so require, the Company will maintain a Luxembourg Paying Agent
and Transfer Agent to serve as Paying Agent and Registrar in Luxembourg.  If the Securities are listed on any other
securities exchange, the Company will satisfy any requirement at such
securities exchange as to paying agents. 
So long as the Securities are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange,
any change in the Paying Agent or Registrar shall be notified to Holders of
Securities by publication of notices to the Holders of the Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 10.02 of this Indenture.


 


The Company
initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar and Paying Agent and The Bank of
New York (Luxembourg) S.A. as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent in
connection with the Securities.


 


SECTION 2.05.  Paying
Agent To Hold Money in Trust.  At
least one Business Day prior to each due date of the principal and interest on
any Security, the


 


12





















 


Company shall deposit with the
Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay such principal and interest when so
becoming due.  The Company shall require
each Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) to agree in writing that the Paying
Agent shall hold in trust for the benefit of Securityholders or the Trustee all
money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on
the Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in
making any such payment.  If the Company
or a Wholly Owned Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate the money
held by it as Paying Agent and hold it as a separate trust fund.  The Company at any time may require a Paying
Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee and to account for any funds
disbursed by the Paying Agent.  Upon
complying with this Section, the Paying Agent shall have no further liability
for the money delivered to the Trustee.


 


SECTION 2.06.  Securityholder
Lists.  The Trustee shall preserve in
as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available
to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders.  If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the
Company shall furnish to the Trustee, in writing at least five Business Days
before each interest payment date and at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing, a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may
reasonably require of the names and addresses of Securityholders.


 


SECTION 2.07.  Replacement
Securities.  If a mutilated Security
is surrendered to the Registrar or if the Holder of a Security claims that such
Security has been lost, destroyed or wrongfully taken, the Company shall issue
and, upon the Company’s request, the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement
Security of like tenor (including the same date of issuance) and equal
principal amount, registered in the same manner, and bearing interest from the
date to which interest has been paid on such Security, if the requirements of Section 8-405
of the Uniform Commercial Code are met and the Holder satisfies any other
reasonable requirements of the Trustee. 
If required by the Trustee or the Company, such Holder shall furnish an
indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Company and the Trustee to
protect the Company, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar
and the Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent from any loss which any of
them may suffer if a Security is replaced. 
In every case of destruction, loss or theft of a Security, the applicant
for a substitute Security shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee
satisfactory evidence of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of
the ownership thereof.  The Company and
the Trustee may charge the Holder a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed and any other fees and expenses
(including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) in replacing the Security.


 


Every
replacement Security is an additional obligation of the Company.


 


SECTION 2.08.  Outstanding
Securities.  Securities outstanding
at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee except for those
canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in
this Section as not outstanding.  A
Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
of the Company holds the Security.


 


13





















 


If a Security
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.07, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee and the Company receive proof satisfactory to them that the
replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.


 


If the Paying
Agent segregates and holds in trust, in accordance with this Indenture, on a
redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay all principal and
interest payable on that date with respect to the Securities (or portions
thereof) to be redeemed or maturing, as the case may be, then on and after that
date such Securities (or portions thereof) cease to be outstanding and interest
on them ceases to accrue.


 


SECTION 2.09.  Temporary
Securities.  Until definitive
Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate temporary Securities. 
Temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive
Securities but may have variations that the Company considers appropriate for
temporary Securities.  Without
unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee shall
authenticate definitive Securities and deliver them in exchange for temporary
Securities.


 


SECTION 2.10.  Cancellation. The Company at any time may deliver
Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. 
The Registrar, the Paying Agent and the Luxembourg Paying Agent and
Transfer Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them
for registration of transfer, exchange or payment.  The Trustee and no one else shall cancel and dispose
of (subject to the record retention requirements of the Exchange Act) all
Securities surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation
in accordance with its current practice unless the Company directs the Trustee
to deliver cancelled Securities to the Company. 
The Company may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has
redeemed, paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


SECTION 2.11.  Defaulted
Interest.  If the Company defaults in
a payment of interest on the Securities, the Company shall pay the defaulted
interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to the extent lawful) in any
lawful manner.  The Company may pay the
defaulted interest (i) to the persons who are Securityholders on a
subsequent special record date or (ii) to persons who are Securityholders
in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the rules of any
applicable securities exchange if deemed practicable by the Trustee.  The Company shall fix or cause to be fixed
any such special record date (which special record date shall not be more than
15 nor less than 10 days prior to the payment date) and payment date to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee and shall promptly mail to each
Securityholder a notice that states the special record date, the payment date
and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.


 


SECTION 2.12.  CUSIP
Numbers.  The Company in issuing the
Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use) and, if so, the
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the
Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the “CUSIP” number that
appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice, and any
such notice may state that no representation is made as to the


 


14





















 


correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.


 


SECTION 2.13.  Delisting.  The European Commission has adopted a
Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council (2003/0045 (COD), the “Transparency
Directive”) on the harmonization of transparency requirements relating to
financial information of issuers whose securities are admitted to trading on a
regulated market in the European Union, such as the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange.  If the Securities are listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the Transparency Directive is adopted in a
form that would require the Company to publish its financial statements either
more regularly than the Company would otherwise be required to or according to
accounting principles that are materially different from the accounting
principles the Company would otherwise use to prepare its published financial
information or that would otherwise impose requirements on it that it in good
faith determines are unduly burdensome, it may de-list the Securities from the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange in accordance with the rules of such exchange.  The Company shall use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain an alternative admission to listing, trading
and/or quotation for the Securities on a different section of the
Luxembourg Stock Exchange or by another listing authority, stock exchange and/or
quotation system inside or outside the European Union, as it may decide.  If such an alternative admission is not
available to the Company or is, in the Company’s reasonable opinion, unduly
burdensome, the Company may, in its sole discretion, decide not to obtain an
alternative admission to listing the Securities.  Notice of any de-listing and/or alternative
admission will be given in accordance with Section 10.02.


 


ARTICLE III


 


Redemption


 


SECTION 3.01.  Notices to
Trustee.  If the Company elects to
redeem Securities pursuant to paragraph 5 of the Securities, it shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the redemption date, the principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed and that such redemption is being made pursuant to
paragraph 5 of the Securities.


 


The Company
shall give each notice to the Trustee provided for in this Section at
least 45 days before the redemption date unless the Trustee consents to a
shorter period.  Such notice shall be
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel from the
Company to the effect that such redemption will comply with the conditions
herein.


 


SECTION 3.02.  Selection
of Securities To Be Redeemed.  If
fewer than all the Securities are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by a method that complies with
applicable legal and securities exchange requirements, if any, and that the
Trustee considers fair and


 


15





















 


appropriate and in accordance
with methods generally used at the time of selection by fiduciaries in similar
circumstances.  The Trustee shall make
the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption.  The Trustee may select for redemption
portions of the principal of Securities that have denominations larger than $100,000.  Securities and portions of them the Trustee
selects shall be in amounts of $100,000 or integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof.  Provisions of this
Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions
of Securities called for redemption.  The
Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of
Securities to be redeemed.


 


SECTION 3.03.  Notice of
Redemption.  At least 30 days
but not more than 60 days before a date for redemption of Securities, the
Company shall mail a notice of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed.


 


The notice
shall identify the Securities to be redeemed and shall state:


 


(1)  the
redemption date;


 


(2)  the
redemption price or the information specified in paragraph 7 of the Securities;


 


(3)  the
name and address of the Paying Agent;


 


(4)  that
Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to
collect the redemption price;


 


(5)  if
fewer than all the outstanding Securities are to be redeemed, the
identification and principal amounts of the particular Securities to be
redeemed;


 


(6)  that,
unless the Company defaults in making such redemption payment, interest on
Securities (or portion thereof) called for redemption ceases to accrue on and
after the redemption date; and


 


(7)  that
no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP
number, if any, listed in such notice or printed on the Securities.


 


At the Company’s
request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Company’s name
and at the Company’s expense.  In such
event, the Company shall provide the Trustee with the information required by
this Section at least 45 days, but not earlier than 60 days, before
the redemption date.


 


The Company
shall publish such notices in a leading newspaper of general circulation in
Luxembourg, which is expected to be the Luxemburger Wort,
for so long as the notes are listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and the rules of
the Luxembourg Stock Exchange so require.


 


SECTION 3.04.  Effect of
Notice of Redemption.  Once notice of
redemption is mailed, subject to the satisfaction or waiver by the Company of
any


 


16





















 


conditions precedent to such
redemption set forth in the notice, Securities called for redemption become due
and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the
notice.  Upon surrender to the Paying
Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the
notice, plus accrued interest to the redemption date (subject to the right of
Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due on the
related interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
redemption).  Failure to give notice or
any defect in the notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the
notice to any other Holder.


 


SECTION 3.05.  Deposit of
Redemption Price.  Prior to the
redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent (or, if the
Company or a Subsidiary is the Paying Agent, shall segregate and hold in trust)
money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest (subject
to the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive
interest due on the related interest payment date that is on or prior to the
date of redemption) on all Securities to be redeemed on that date other than
Securities or portions of Securities called for redemption that have been
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


SECTION 3.06.  Securities
Redeemed in Part.  Upon surrender of
a Security that is redeemed in part, the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall authenticate for the Holder (at the Company’s expense) a new Security or
Securities, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security surrendered.

Covenants


 


SECTION 4.01.  Termination
of Specified Covenants.  If the
Company shall have attained Investment Grade Status, and notwithstanding that
the Company may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any of the

obligations to comply with the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article IV,

interest then due.


 


The Company

Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the rate borne by the Securities to the extent lawful.


 


SECTION 4.03.  Limitation on Liens. (a)    The Company will not, nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, issue,
assume or suffer to exist any Indebtedness or


 


17





















 


Guarantee, if such Indebtedness or Guarantee is
secured by a Lien upon any Specified Property, unless, concurrently with the
issuance or assumption of such Indebtedness or Guarantee or the creation of
such Lien, the Securities shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior
to) such Indebtedness or Guarantee; provided, however, that the foregoing restriction shall not apply to:


 


(1)  any Lien on (A) any Specified
Property acquired, constructed, developed, extended or improved by the Company
or any Subsidiary (singly or together with other Persons) after the date of the
Indenture or any property reasonably incidental to the use or operation of such
Specified Property (including any real property on which such Specified
Property is located), or (B) any shares or other ownership interest in, or
any Indebtedness of, any Person which holds, owns or is entitled to such
property, products, revenue or profits, in each of cases (A) and (B), to
the extent such Lien is created, incurred or assumed (x) during the period such
Specified Property was being constructed, developed, extended or improved, or
(y) contemporaneously with, or within 360 days after, such acquisition or the
completion of such construction, development, extension or improvement in order
to secure or provide for the payment of all or any part of the purchase price or
other consideration of such Specified Property or the other costs of such
acquisition, construction, development, extension or improvement (including
costs such as escalation, interest during construction and financing and
refinancing costs);


 


(2)  any Lien on any Specified Property
existing at the time of acquisition thereof and which (a) is not created
as a result of or in connection with or in anticipation of such acquisition and
(b) does not attach to any other Specified Property other than the Specified
Property so acquired;


 


(3)  any Lien on any Specified Property
acquired from a Person which is merged with or into the Company or any
Subsidiary or any Lien existing on Specified Property of any Person at the time
such Person becomes a Subsidiary, in either such case which (a) is not
created as a result of or in connection with or in anticipation of any such
transaction and (b) does not attach to any other Specified Property other
than the Specified Property so acquired;


 


(4)  any Lien which secures Indebtedness
or a Guarantee owing by a Subsidiary to the Company or any other Subsidiary;


 


(5)  any Lien existing on the date of
the Indenture; or


 


(6)  any extension, renewal or
replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in
part, of any Lien referred to in the foregoing clauses (1) through (5) inclusive;
provided that the principal amount of Indebtedness or Guarantee secured thereby
shall not exceed the principal amount of Indebtedness or Guarantee so secured
at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement, plus an amount necessary
to pay any fees and expenses, including premiums and defeasance costs related
to such transaction, and that such


 


18





















 


extension, renewal or replacement shall be limited
to all or a part of the property which secured the Lien so extended, renewed or
replaced (plus improvements on such property).


 


(b)  Notwithstanding
Section 4.03(a), the Company or any Subsidiary may issue or assume
Indebtedness or a Guarantee secured by a Lien which would otherwise be
prohibited under Section 4.03(a) or enter into Sale and Leaseback
Transactions that would otherwise be prohibited by Section 4.04, provided
that the amount of such Indebtedness or Guarantee or the Attributable Value of
such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, as the case may be, together with the
aggregate amount (without duplication) of (x) Indebtedness or Guarantees
outstanding at such time, that was previously incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) by
the Company and its Subsidiaries, plus (y) the Attributable Value of all such
Sale and Leaseback Transactions of the Company and its Subsidiaries outstanding
at such time that were previously incurred pursuant to this Section 4.03(b) shall
not exceed 20% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time any such
Indebtedness or Guarantee is issued or assumed by the Company or any Subsidiary
or at the time any such Sale and Leaseback Transaction is entered into.


 


(c)  For
the avoidance of doubt, the sale or other transfer of (i) any minerals in
place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that the purchaser will
realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a
specified amount of such minerals or (ii) any other interest in property
of the character commonly referred to as a “production payment”, shall not
constitute the incurrence of Indebtedness or a Guarantee secured by a Lien.


 


SECTION 4.04.  Limitation
on Sale and Leaseback Transactions. 
For so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, neither the
Company nor any Subsidiary may enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction
with respect to any Specified Property, unless either (x) the Company or
such Subsidiary would be entitled pursuant to Section 4.03 to issue or
assume Indebtedness or a Guarantee (in an amount equal to the Attributable
Value with respect to such Sale and Leaseback Transactions) secured by a Lien
on such Specified Property without equally and ratably securing the Securities,
(y) the Company or such Subsidiary shall apply or cause to be applied, in
the case of a sale or transfer for cash, an amount equal to 85% of the net
proceeds thereof and, in the case of a sale or transfer otherwise than for
cash, an amount equal to the fair market value (as determined in good faith by
the Board of Directors) of the Specified Property so leased, (A) to the
retirement, within 360 days after the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback
Transaction, of (i) Indebtedness of the Company ranking at least on a
parity with the Securities or (ii) Indebtedness of any Subsidiary of the
Company, in each case owing to a Person other than the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company, or (B) to the acquisition, purchase, construction,
development, extension or improvement of any property or assets of the Company
or any Subsidiary used or to be used by or for the benefit of the Company or
any Subsidiary in the ordinary course of business or (z) the Company or
such Subsidiary equally and ratably secures the Securities.  None of the restrictions set forth in this Section 4.04
shall apply to any transactions providing for a lease for a term of not more
than three years.


 


19





















 


SECTION 4.05.  Limitation on Subsidiary
Indebtedness.  (a)    The Company shall not permit any Subsidiary to, incur, directly or
indirectly, any Indebtedness or Guarantees (other than Permitted Indebtedness).

maximum amount of Indebtedness that Subsidiaries may incur pursuant to this Section 4.05
shall not be deemed to be exceeded, with respect to any outstanding
Indebtedness, due solely to fluctuations in the exchange rates of currencies.


 


SECTION 4.06.  Change of Control Triggering Event.  (a)  Upon the occurrence of a Change of
Control Triggering Event, each Holder of Securities shall have the right to
require the Company to repurchase all or any part of such Holder’s Securities
pursuant to the offer described below (the “Change of Control Offer”) at a
purchase price (the “Change of Control Purchase Price”) equal to 101.0% of the
principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the

thereof) accepted for payment (and duly paid on the Change of Control Payment
Date) pursuant to the Change of Control Offer shall cease to accrue interest
after the Change of Control Payment Date; (D) the circumstances and
relevant facts regarding the Change of Control Triggering Event; and (E) the
procedures that Holders of Securities must follow in order to tender their

electing to have a Security purchased shall be required to surrender the
Security, with an appropriate form duly completed, to the Company or its agent
at the address specified in the notice at least three Business Days prior to
the Change of Control Payment Date.

20





















 


name of the Holder, the
principal amount of the Security that was delivered for purchase by the Holder

to the Company immediately after the Change of Control Payment Date.


 


(e)  The
Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer following a
Change of Control Triggering Event if a third party makes the Change of Control
Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements
set forth in this Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the
Company and purchases all Securities validly tendered and not withdrawn under
such Change of Control Offer.

received by the Trustee under this Section 4.07.


 


(b)  Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational

information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively
on Officers’ Certificates).


 


(c)  Any
document referred to in this Section 4.07 that is filed with the

time of such request, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act or is exempt from such
requirements pursuant to Rule 12g3-2(b) under the Exchange Act (as
amended from time to time and including any successor provision).

rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to preserve any such right, license or franchise, or the corporate,
partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if the Board of
Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, taken as a
whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders of the Securities.

be substituted for the Company
as obligor on the Securities, with the same effect as if it had been named in
this Indenture as such obligor.


 


(c)  For
purposes of Section 5.01(a), the conveyance or transfer of all the
property of one or more Subsidiaries of the Company which property, if held by
the Company instead of such Subsidiaries, would constitute all or substantially
all the property of the Company on a consolidated basis, shall be deemed to be

ARTICLE VI


 


Defaults and Remedies


 


SECTION 6.01.  Events of Default.  The following events shall be “Events of
Default”:


 


(1)  the Company defaults in any payment of interest on any
Security when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for

outstanding notify the Company (and in the case of such notice by Holders, the
Company and the Trustee) of the Default and the Company does not cure such
Default within the time specified after receipt of such notice.  Such notice must specify the Default, demand

SECTION 6.02.  Acceleration.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event of
Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with respect to the
Company) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee by notice to the Company, or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may declare the
principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities to be due
and payable.  Upon such a declaration,
such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or
(6) with respect to the Company occurs, the maturity of all outstanding
Securities shall automatically be accelerated and the principal of and accrued
and unpaid interest on all the Securities shall, automatically and without any
action by the Trustee or any Holder, become and be immediately due and
payable.  The right of the Holders to
give such acceleration notice shall terminate if the event giving rise to such right
shall have been cured before such right is exercised. The Trustee or the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities by written
notice to the Company may annul and rescind any declaration of acceleration if all
amounts then due with respect to the Securities are paid (other than amounts
due solely because of such declaration) and all other defaults with respect to
the Securities are cured.  No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent
thereto.


 


25





















 


SECTION 6.03.  Other Remedies.  If an Event of Default occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect the payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities or to enforce the performance of
any provision of the Securities or this Indenture.


 


The Trustee
may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or
does not produce any of them in the proceeding. 
A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising
any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in the Event of
Default.  No remedy is exclusive of any
other remedy.  All available remedies are
cumulative.


 


SECTION 6.04.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by notice to the Trustee
may waive an existing Default and its consequences except (i) a Default in
the payment of the principal of or interest on a Security or (ii) a
Default in respect of a provision that under Section 9.02 cannot be
amended without the consent of each Securityholder affected.  When a Default is waived, it is deemed cured,
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair
any consequent right.


 


SECTION 6.05.  Control by Majority.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may direct the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee
or of exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to
the Securities.  However, the Trustee may
refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture or,
subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial
to the rights of other Securityholders or would involve the Trustee in personal
liability; provided, however, that the Trustee may take any other
action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
direction.  Prior to taking any action
hereunder, the Trustee shall be entitled to reasonable indemnification against
all losses and expenses caused by taking or not taking such action.


 


SECTION 6.06.  Limitation on Suits.  A Securityholder shall not have any right to
institute any proceeding with respect to this Indenture or the Securities or
for any remedy hereunder or thereunder unless:


 


(1)  such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee
written notice of a continuing Event of Default;


 


(2)  the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities then outstanding shall have made a written request, and such
Holder of or Holders shall have offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to
pursue such proceeding in respect of such Event of Default as trustee; and


 


(3)  the Trustee has failed to institute such proceeding and has
not received from the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, within 60 days


 


26





















 


after such
notice, request and offer.


 


The foregoing
limitations on the pursuit of remedies by a Securityholder shall not apply to a
suit individually instituted by a Holder of Securities for the enforcement of
payment of the principal of, or interest on, such Security on or after the
applicable due date specified in such Security. A Securityholder may not use
this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a
preference or priority over another Securityholder.


 


SECTION 6.07.  Rights of Holders To Receive Payment.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and
interest on the Securities held by such Holder, on or after the respective due
dates expressed in the Securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any
such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Holder.


 


SECTION 6.08.  Collection Suit by Trustee.  If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(1) or
(2) occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may recover judgment in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole
amount then due and owing (together with interest on any unpaid interest to the
extent lawful) and the amounts provided for in Section 7.07.


 


SECTION 6.09.  Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.  The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial
proceedings relative to the Company, its creditors or its property and, unless
prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders
in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other Person performing similar
functions, and any Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make 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 it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and its counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.


 


SECTION 6.10.  Priorities.  If the Trustee collects any money or property
pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay out the money or property in the
following order:


 


FIRST:  to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;


 


SECOND: to
Securityholders for amounts due and unpaid on the Securities for principal and
interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the
amounts due and payable on the Securities for principal and interest,
respectively; and


 


THIRD:  to the Company.


 


The Trustee
may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders
pursuant to this Section.  At least
15 days before such record date, the


 


27





















 


Company shall mail to each
Securityholder and the Trustee a notice that states the record date, the
payment date and amount to be paid.


 


SECTION 6.11.  Undertaking for Costs.  In any suit for the enforcement of any right
or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any
action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, 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 attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in the suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by the party litigant.  This Section does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07
or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities.


 


SECTION 6.12.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.  The Company (to the extent it may lawfully do
so) shall not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, that 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 shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but shall suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.


 


ARTICLE VII


 


Trustee


 


SECTION 7.01.  Duties of Trustee.  (a)  If an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise as a prudent Person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such Person’s own affairs.


 


(b)  Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default:


 


(1)  the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no implied covenants
or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


(2)  in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture.  However, the Trustee shall examine the
certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the
requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the
accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated therein).


 


28





















 


(c)  The
Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(1)  this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
this Section;


 


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


 


(3)  the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it
takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with a direction received by
it pursuant to Section 6.05 or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities.


 


(d)  Every
provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.


 


(e)  The
Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as
the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company.


 


(f)  Money
held in trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.


 


(g)  No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties hereunder or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers.


 


(h)  Every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section and to the provisions of the TIA and the provisions of this Article VII
shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Registrar, Paying Agent and Security
Custodian.


 


(i)  The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of a Default or an Event of Default
unless (a) the Trustee has received written notice thereof from the
Company or any Holder or (b) a Trust Officer shall have actual knowledge
thereof.


 


SECTION 7.02.  Rights of Trustee.  (a)    The Trustee may rely conclusively
on, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon, any
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper person.  The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.  The Trustee may, however, in its discretion
make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may
see fit and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole cost and expense
of the Company and it shall not incur any liability by reason of such inquiry
or investigation.


 


29





















 


(b)  Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. 
The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on the Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.


 


(c)  The
Trustee may act through agents and attorneys and shall not be responsible for
the negligence of any agent appointed with due care.


 


(d)  the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
provided, however, that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute willful
misconduct or negligence.


 


(e)  The
Trustee may consult with counsel of its choice, and the advice or opinion of
counsel with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and the
Securities shall be full and complete authorization and protection from
liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion of such counsel.


 


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


 


(g)  the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the
Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to
the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction;


 


(h)  in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for special, indirect, or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited
to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;


 


(i)  the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default
unless a Trust Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless
written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received by the
Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
references the Securities and this Indenture;


 


(j)  the rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation,
its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other Person employed to act hereunder; and


 


(k)  the Trustee may request that the Company
deliver a certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles of
officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture.


 


30





















 


SECTION 7.03.  Individual Rights of Trustee.  The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it would have if it
were not Trustee.  Any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like rights.  However, the Trustee must comply with
Sections 7.10 and 7.11.


 


SECTION 7.04.  Trustee’s Disclaimer.  The Trustee shall not be responsible for and
makes no representation as to the validity, priority or adequacy of this
Indenture or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use
of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement of the Company in this Indenture or in any document issued in
connection with the sale of the Securities or in the Securities other than the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication.


 


SECTION 7.05.  Notice of Defaults.   If a Default or Event of Default occurs and
is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days
after it is known to a Trust Officer or written notice of it is received by the
Trustee.  Except in the case of a Default
or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security, the
Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust
Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the
interests of Securityholders.


 


SECTION 7.06.  Reports by Trustee to Holders.  As promptly as practicable after each May 15 beginning
with May 15, 2006, and in any event prior to July 15 in each
year, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 15
each year that complies with TIA § 313(a), if and to the extent required
by such subsection.  The Trustee shall
also comply with TIA § 313(b). 
The Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder each item provided to it
by the Company pursuant to Section 4.07.


 


A copy of each
report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders shall be filed with the Commission
and each stock exchange (if any) on which the Securities are listed.  The Company agrees to notify promptly the
Trustee whenever the Securities become listed on any stock exchange and of any
delisting thereof.


 


SECTION 7.07.  Compensation and Indemnity.  The Company shall pay to the Trustee from
time to time reasonable compensation for its services as shall have been agreed
upon between the Company and the Trustee. 
The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust. 
The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made by it, including reasonable costs of
collection, in addition to the compensation for its services.  Such expenses shall include the commercially reasonable
compensation and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee’s agents,
counsel, accountants and experts.  The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all loss, damages, claims, liability
or expense (including commercially reasonable attorneys’ fees of not more than
one counsel) incurred by it in connection with the acceptance and
administration of this trust and the performance of its duties hereunder.  The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly
of any claim for which it may


 


31





















 


seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder except to the extent the Company has been prejudiced by
such failure to notify.  The Company
shall defend the claim and the Trustee may have not more than one separate
counsel and the Company shall pay the commercially reasonable fees and expenses
of such counsel.  The Company need not
reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense
incurred by the Trustee through the Trustee’s own willful misconduct,
negligence or bad faith.  The Company
need not pay for any settlement made by the Trustee without the Company’s
consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.  All indemnifications and releases from
liability granted hereunder to the Trustee shall extend to its officers,
directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns.


 


To secure the
Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien
prior to the Securities on all money or property held or collected by the
Trustee other than money or property held in trust to pay principal of and
interest on particular Securities.


 


The Company’s
payment obligations pursuant to this Section shall survive the resignation
or removal of the Trustee and the discharge of this Indenture.  When the Trustee incurs expenses after the
occurrence of a Default specified in Section 6.01(5) or (6) with
respect to the Company, the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under the Bankruptcy Law.


 


SECTION 7.08.  Replacement of Trustee.  The Trustee may resign at any time by so
notifying the Company.  The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may
remove the Trustee by so notifying the Company and the Trustee in writing.  The Company may remove the Trustee if:


 


(1)  the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;


 


(2)  the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;


 


(3)  a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the
Trustee or its property; or


 


(4)  the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.


 


If the Trustee
resigns, is removed by the Company or by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Trustee for any reason (the Trustee in such event being referred
to herein as the retiring Trustee), the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee.


 


A successor
Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring
Trustee and to the Company.  Thereupon
the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and
the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the
Trustee under this Indenture.  The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders.  The retiring Trustee
shall promptly transfer


 


32





















 


all property held by it as
Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07.


 


If a successor
Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of 10%
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.


 


If the Trustee
fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Securityholder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee.


 


Notwithstanding
the replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.07 shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee.


 


SECTION 7.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger.  If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or
converts into, or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust
business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation or banking association without
any further act shall be the successor Trustee.


 


In case at the
time such successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation to the
Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the
Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor
to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor
trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time
any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any such successor to
the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any
predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor to the Trustee; and in
all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere
in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the
Trustee shall have.


 


SECTION 7.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification.  The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the
requirements of TIA § 310(a).  The
Trustee shall have (or, in the case of a corporation included in a bank holding
company system, the related bank holding company shall have) a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its (or its related bank
holding company’s) most recent published annual report of condition.  The Trustee shall comply with TIA § 310(b),
subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof; provided, however,
that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA § 310(b)(1) any
indenture or indentures under which other securities or certificates of
interest or participation in other securities of the Company are outstanding if
the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA § 310(b)(1) are
met.


 


SECTION 7.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company.  The Trustee
shall comply with TIA § 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship listed
in


 


33





















 


TIA § 311(b).  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to TIA § 311(a) to the extent indicated.


 


SECTION 7.12.  Appointment of Co-Trustee.


 


(a)  Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting
any legal requirement of  any jurisdiction
in which any part of the trust may at the time be located, the Trustee shall
have the power and may execute and deliver all instruments necessary to appoint
one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or co-trustees, or separate trustee
or separate trustees, of all or any part of the trust, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Securityholders,
such title to the trust, or any part hereof, and subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts
as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 7.10 and no notice to Securityholders of the appointment of any
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be required under Section 7.08.


 


(b)  Every
separate trustee and co-trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
appointed and act subject to the following provisions and conditions:


 


(i)  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 unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust or any
portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed
singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of
the Trustee;


 


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


 


(iii)  the Trustee may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.


 


(c)  Any
notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have
been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. 
Every instrument appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall
refer to this Indenture and the conditions of this Article VII.  Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the
provisions of this Indenture, specifically including every provision of this
Indenture relating to the conduct


 


34





















 


of, affecting the liability of,
or affording protection or rights (including the rights to compensation,
reimbursement and indemnification hereunder) to, the Trustee.  Every such instrument shall be filed with the
Trustee.


 


(d)  Any
separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the Trustee, its
agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Indenture
on its behalf and in its name.  If any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or
be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law,
without the appointment of a new or successor trustee.


 


ARTICLE VIII


 


Discharge of Indenture; Defeasance


 


SECTION 8.01.  Discharge of Liability on
Securities; Defeasance.  (a) 
When (i) the Company delivers to the Trustee all outstanding Securities
(other than Securities replaced pursuant to Section 2.07) for cancellation
or (ii) all outstanding Securities have become due and payable, whether at
maturity or as a result of the mailing of a notice of redemption pursuant to Article III
and the Company irrevocably deposits with the Trustee funds sufficient to pay
at maturity or upon redemption all outstanding Securities, including interest
thereon to maturity or such redemption date (other than Securities replaced
pursuant to Section 2.07), and if in either case the Company pays all
other sums payable hereunder by the Company, then this Indenture shall, subject
to Section 8.01(c), cease to be of further effect.  The Trustee shall acknowledge satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture on demand of the Company accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of the
Company.


 


(b)  Subject
to Sections 8.01(c) and 8.02, the Company at any time may terminate (i) all
of its obligations under the Securities and this Indenture (“legal defeasance
option”) or (ii) its obligations under Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.05,
4.06 and 4.07 and the operation of Sections 6.01(4), 6.01(5) and 6.01(6) (but,
in the case of Sections 6.01(5) and (6), with respect only to Significant
Subsidiaries) (“covenant defeasance option”). 
The Company may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its
prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.


 


If the Company
exercises its legal defeasance option, payment of the Securities may not be
accelerated because of an Event of Default. 
If the Company exercises its covenant defeasance option, payment of the
Securities may not be accelerated because of an Event of Default specified in
Sections 6.01(3) (with respect to the covenants of Article IV
identified in the immediately preceding paragraph), 6.01(4), 6.01(5) and
6.01(6) (with respect only to Significant Subsidiaries in the case of
Sections 6.01(5) and 6.01(6)).


 


35





















 


Upon
satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein and upon request of the
Company, the Trustee shall acknowledge in writing the discharge of those
obligations that the Company terminates.


 


(c)  Notwithstanding
clauses (a) and (b) above, the Company’s obligations in Sections 2.04,
2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 7.07, 7.08, 8.05 and 8.06 shall survive until the Securities
have been paid in full.  Thereafter, the
Company’s obligations in Sections 7.07 and 8.05 shall survive.


 


SECTION 8.02.  Conditions to Defeasance.  The Company may exercise its legal defeasance
option or its covenant defeasance option only if:


 


(1)  the Company irrevocably deposits in trust with  the Trustee money or U.S. Government
Obligations for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be;


 


(2)  the Company delivers to the Trustee a certificate from a
nationally recognized firm of independent accountants expressing their opinion
that the payments of principal and interest when due and without reinvestment
on the deposited U.S. Government Obligations plus any deposited money
without investment will provide cash at such times and in such amounts as will
be sufficient to pay principal and interest when due on all the Securities to
maturity or redemption, as the case may be;

such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article VIII until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all such money or U.S. Government Obligations
in accordance with this Article VIII; provided, however,
that, if the Company has made any payment of interest on or principal of any

(7)  to make any change that is deemed necessary and desirable by
the Company and does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder in
any material respect.


 


After an
amendment under this Section 9.01 becomes effective, the Company shall
mail to Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all
Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity
of an amendment under this Section 9.01.


 


SECTION 9.02.  With Consent of Holders.  The Company and the Trustee may amend this
Indenture or the Securities with the written consent of the Holders of at least
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
offer for the Securities) or by the adoption of resolutions at a meeting of
Holders of Securities by the Holders of at least a majority of the outstanding
Securities.  However, without the consent
or affirmative vote of each Securityholder affected thereby, an amendment may
not:


 


(1)  change any installment of interest with respect to any
Security or reduce the amount of interest on any Security;


 


38





















 


(2)  reduce the principal amount of any Security;


 


(3)  reduce the amount payable upon the redemption or repurchase
of any Security under Article III or Section 4.06, change the time at

respect to such Holder’s Securities;


 


(7)  reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to
an amendment or make any change in Section 6.04 or 6.07 or the second
sentence of this Section.


 


It shall not
be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent approves the substance thereof.


 


After an
amendment under this Section becomes effective, the Company shall mail to
Securityholders a notice briefly describing such amendment.  The failure to give such notice to all
Securityholders, or any defect therein, shall not impair or affect the validity
of an amendment under this Section.


 


SECTION 9.03.  Compliance with Trust Indenture Act.  Every amendment to this Indenture or the
Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.


 


SECTION 9.04.  Revocation and Effect of Consents and
Waivers.  A consent to an amendment
or a waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every
subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences
the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if notation of the
consent or waiver is not made on the Security. 
However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent or
waiver as to such Holder’s Security or portion of the Security if the Trustee
receives the notice of revocation before the date the amendment or waiver
becomes effective.  After an amendment or
waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder.  An amendment or waiver becomes effective upon
the execution of such amendment or waiver by the Trustee.

The Company
may, but shall not be obligated to, fix a record date for the purpose of
determining the Securityholders entitled to give their consent or take any
other action described above or required or permitted to be taken pursuant to
this Indenture.  If a record date is
fixed, then notwithstanding the immediately preceding paragraph, those Persons
who were Securityholders at such record date (or their duly designated
proxies), and only those Persons, shall be entitled to give such consent or to
revoke any consent previously given or to take any such action, whether or not
such Persons continue to be Holders after such record date.  No such consent shall be valid or effective
for more than 120 days after such record date.


 


SECTION 9.05.  Notation on or Exchange of Securities.  If an amendment changes the terms of a
Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver such
Security to the Trustee.  The Trustee may
place an appropriate notation on the Security regarding the changed terms and
return such Security to the Holder. 
Alternatively, if the Company or the Trustee so determines, the Company
in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a
new Security that reflects the changed terms. 
Failure to make the appropriate notation or to issue a new Security
shall not affect the validity of such amendment.

consideration, whether by way of interest, fee or otherwise, to any Holder for

provisions of this Indenture or the Securities unless such consideration is
offered to be paid to all Holders that so consent, waive or agree to amend in
the time frame set forth in solicitation documents relating to such consent,
waiver or agreement.

Exchange, respectively, pursuant to the Registration Agreement, for a like

or co-registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested
if its reasonable requirements for such transaction are met; provided, however,
that the Definitive Securities surrendered for transfer or exchange:


 


4





















 


(i)  shall be duly endorsed or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form reasonably satisfactory
to the Company and the Registrar or co-registrar, duly executed by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing; and


 


(ii)  if such Definitive
Securities bear a restricted securities legend, they are being transferred or
exchanged pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities
Act or pursuant to clause (A), (B) or (C) below, and are accompanied by
the following additional information and documents, as applicable:


 


(A)  if such Definitive Securities are being
delivered to the Registrar by a Holder for registration in the name of such
Holder, without transfer, a certification from such Holder to that effect; or


 


(B)  if such Definitive Securities are being
transferred to the Company, a certification to that effect; or


 


(C)  if such Definitive Securities are being transferred
pursuant to an exemption from registration in accordance with Rule 144
under the Securities Act, (i) a certification to that effect and
(ii) if the Company so requests, an opinion of counsel or other evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it as to the compliance with the restrictions set
forth in the legend set forth in Section 2.3(d)(i).


 


(b)  Transfer
and Exchange of Global Securities.  (i)    The transfer and exchange of
Global Securities or beneficial interests therein shall be effected through the
Depository, in accordance with this Indenture (including applicable
restrictions on transfer set forth herein, if any) and the procedures of the
Depository therefor.  A transferor of a
beneficial interest in a Global Security shall deliver a written order given in
accordance with the Depository’s procedures containing information regarding
the participant account of the Depository to be credited with a beneficial
interest in the Global Security and such account shall be credited in
accordance with such instructions with a beneficial interest in the Global
Security and the account of the Person making the transfer shall be debited by
an amount equal to the beneficial interest in the Global Security being
transferred.


 


(ii)  Subject to (v) and (vi) below,
if the proposed transfer is a transfer of a beneficial interest in one Global
Security to a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Registrar
shall reflect on its books and records the date and an increase in the
principal amount of the Global Security to which such interest is being
transferred in an amount equal to the principal amount of the interest to be so
transferred, and the Registrar shall reflect on its books and records the date
and a corresponding decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security
from which such interest is being transferred.


 


5





















 


(iii)  Notwithstanding any other
provisions of this Appendix A (other than the provisions set forth in
Section 2.4), a Global Security may not be transferred as a whole except
by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the
Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the
Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such
successor Depository.


 


(iv)  In the event that a Global
Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities pursuant to Section 2.4
prior to the consummation of a Registered Exchange Offer or the effectiveness
of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect to such Securities, such
Securities may be exchanged only in accordance with such procedures as are
substantially consistent with the provisions of this Section 2.3
(including the certification requirements set forth on the reverse of the
Initial Securities intended to ensure that such transfers comply with Rule 144A,
Regulation S or such other applicable exemption from registration under
the Securities Act, as the case may be) and such other procedures as may from
time to time be adopted by the Company.


 


(v)  During the Distribution
Compliance Period, beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may
not be transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of beneficial
interests in a Rule 144A Global Security. 
Thereafter beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security may be
transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of beneficial interests
in a Rule 144A Global Security only in a transaction made in compliance with
clause (A)(1) of the legend set forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 2.3
and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a written confirmation from the
transferor to such effect.


 


(vi)  Beneficial interests in a
Rule 144A Global Security may be transferred to a person who takes delivery in
the form of beneficial interests in a Regulation S Global Security only in a
transaction made in compliance with clause (A)(2) of the legend set forth in
paragraph (c) of this Section 2.3 and only upon receipt by the Trustee of a
written confirmation from the transferor to such effect.


 


(c)  Legend.


 


(i)  Except as permitted by the
following paragraphs (ii), (iii) and (iv), each certificate evidencing the
Global Securities and the Definitive Securities (and all Securities issued in
exchange therefor or in substitution thereof) shall bear a legend in
substantially the following form:


 


THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) AND MAY NOT BE
OFFERED, SOLD, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED EXCEPT (A) (1) TO A
PERSON WHO THE SELLER REASONABLY


 


6





















 


BELIEVES IS A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE
144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PURCHASING FOR ITS OWN ACCOUNT OR FOR THE ACCOUNT
OF A QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER IN A TRANSACTION MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS OF
RULE 144A, (2) IN AN OFFSHORE TRANSACTION COMPLYING WITH RULE 903 OR RULE
904 OF REGULATION S UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT, (3) PURSUANT TO AN EXEMPTION
FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT PROVIDED BY RULE 144 THEREUNDER (IF
AVAILABLE AND BASED UPON AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IF THE COMPANY SO REQUESTS) OR (4) PURSUANT
TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND (B) IN
ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS OF THE STATES OF THE UNITED
STATES.


 


Each
Definitive Security will also bear the following additional legend:


 


“IN CONNECTION
WITH ANY TRANSFER, THE HOLDER WILL DELIVER TO THE REGISTRAR AND TRANSFER AGENT
SUCH CERTIFICATES AND OTHER INFORMATION AS SUCH TRANSFER AGENT MAY REASONABLY
REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”


 


(ii)  Upon any sale or transfer
of a Transfer Restricted Security (including any Transfer Restricted Security
represented by a Global Security) pursuant to Rule 144 under the
Securities Act:


 


(A)  in the case of any Transfer Restricted
Security that is a Definitive Security, the Registrar shall permit the Holder
thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Security that does
not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on the
transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security; and


 


(B)  in the case of any Transfer Restricted
Security that is represented by a Global Security, the Registrar shall permit
the Holder thereof to exchange such Transfer Restricted Security for a Security
that does not bear the legends set forth above and rescind any restriction on
the transfer of such Transfer Restricted Security,


 


in either case, if the Holder certifies in writing to the Registrar that
its request for such exchange was made in reliance on Rule 144 (such
certification to be in the form set forth on the reverse of the Initial
Security).


 


7





















 


(iii)  After a transfer of any
Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, as the case may be, during
the period of the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement with respect
to such Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities, all requirements
pertaining to restricted legends on such Initial Security or such Private
Exchange Security will cease to apply and an Initial Security or Private
Exchange Security, as the case may be, in global form without restricted
legends will be available to the transferee of the beneficial interests of such
Initial Securities or Private Exchange Securities.  Upon the occurrence of any of the
circumstances described in this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’
Certificate to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without
restricted legends.


 


(iv)  Upon the consummation of a
Registered Exchange Offer with respect to the Initial Securities pursuant to
which certain Holders of such Initial Securities are offered Exchange
Securities in exchange for their Initial Securities, Exchange Securities in
global form without the restricted legends will be available to Holders or
beneficial owners that exchange such Initial Securities (or beneficial
interests therein) in such Registered Exchange Offer.  Upon the occurrence of any of the circumstances
described in this paragraph, the Company will deliver an Officers’ Certificate
to the Trustee instructing the Trustee to issue Securities without restricted
legends.


 


(e)  Cancellation
or Adjustment of Global Security.  At
such time as all beneficial interests in a Global Security have either been
exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased or canceled, such
Global Security shall be returned by the Depository to the Trustee for cancellation
or retained and canceled by the Trustee. 
At any time prior to such cancellation, if any beneficial interest in a
Global Security is exchanged for Definitive Securities, redeemed, repurchased
or canceled, the principal amount of Securities represented by such Global
Security shall be reduced and an adjustment shall be made on the books and
records of the Trustee (if it is then the Securities Custodian for such Global
Security) with respect to such Global Security, by the Trustee or the
Securities Custodian, to reflect such reduction.


 


(f)  Obligations
with Respect to Transfers and Exchanges of Securities.


 


(i)  To permit registrations of
transfers and exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate Definitive Securities and Global Securities at the Registrar’s or
co-registrar’s request.


 


(ii)  No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax, assessments, or similar
governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer taxes, assessments or similar governmental charge payable upon
exchange or transfer pursuant to Sections 3.06, 4.06 and 9.05 of this
Indenture).


 


8





















 


(iii)  Neither the Trustee nor any
Registrar or Transfer Agent shall be required to register the transfer or
exchange definitive notes for a period from the record date to the due date for
any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities or register the
transfer or exchange any Securities for 15 days prior to selection for
redemption through the date of redemption.


 


(iv)  Prior to the due
presentation for registration of transfer of any Security (including a Global
Security), the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Company or the Trustee may
treat the person in whose name a Security is registered as the absolute owner
of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and
interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Security is overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


 


(v)  All Securities issued upon
any transfer or exchange pursuant to the terms of this Indenture shall evidence
the same debt and shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture
as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.


 


(g)  No
Obligation of the Trustee.


 


(i)  The Trustee shall have no
responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner of a Global Security, a
member of, or a participant in the Depository or any other Person with respect
to the accuracy of the records of the Depository or its nominee or of any
participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the
Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member,
beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depository) of any notice
(including any notice of redemption or repurchase) or the payment of any
amount, under or with respect to such Securities.  All notices and communications to be given to
the Holders and all payments to be made to Holders under the Securities shall
be given or made only to the registered Holders (which shall be the Depository
or its nominee in the case of a Global Security).  The rights of beneficial owners in any Global
Security shall be exercised only through the Depository subject to the
applicable rules and procedures of the Depository.  The Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its members, participants and any beneficial owners.


 


(ii)  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, members or beneficial
owners 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


 


9





















 


Indenture, and
to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof.


 


2.4  Definitive Securities


 


(a)  A
Global Security deposited with the Depository or with the Trustee as Securities
Custodian pursuant to Section 2.1 shall be transferred to the beneficial
owners thereof in the form of Definitive Securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, in exchange for
such Global Security, only if such transfer complies with Section 2.3 and
(i) the Depository notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as a Depository for such Global Security or if at any time the
Depository ceases to be a “clearing agency” registered under the Exchange Act,
and a successor Depository is not appointed by the Company within 90 days
of such notice, or (ii) a Default or an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or (iii) the Company, in its sole discretion, notifies the
Trustee in writing that it elects to cause the issuance of Definitive
Securities under this Indenture.


 


(b)  Any
Global Security that is transferable to the beneficial owners thereof pursuant
to this Section 2.4 shall be surrendered by the Depository to the Trustee,
to be so transferred, in whole or from time to time in part, without charge,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, upon such transfer of each
portion of such Global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of
Definitive Securities of authorized denominations.  Definitive Securities issued in exchange for
any portion of a Global Security transferred pursuant to this Section shall be
executed, authenticated and delivered only in denominations of US$100,000 and
integral multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof and registered in such names
as the Depository shall direct.  Any Definitive
Security delivered in exchange for an interest in the Global Security shall,
except as otherwise provided by Section 2.3(c), bear the restricted
securities legend set forth in Exhibit 1 hereto.


 


(c)  The
registered Holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise
authorize any Person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold
interests through Agent Members, to take any action that a Holder is entitled
to take under this Indenture or the Securities.


 


(d)  In
the event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in
Section 2.4(a)(i), (ii) or (iii), the Company will promptly make
available to the Trustee a reasonable supply of Definitive Securities in
definitive, fully registered form without interest coupons.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF INITIAL SECURITY]


 


6.375% Notes
due 2015


 


1.  Interest


 


(a) SOUTHERN
PERU COPPER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being
herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company will pay interest semiannually on
January 27 and July 27 of each year, commencing January 27, 2006.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from July 27, 2005. 
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.  The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities plus 1% per annum, and
it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
the Securities to the extent lawful.


 


(b) Special
Interest.  The holder of this
Security is entitled to the benefits of a Registration Rights Agreement, dated
as of July 27, 2005, between the Company and the Initial Purchasers named
therein (the “Registration Agreement”). 
Capitalized terms used in this paragraph (b) but not defined herein
have the meanings assigned to them in the Registration Agreement.  In the event that (i) neither the
Exchange Offer Registration Statement nor the Shelf Registration Statement has
been filed with the Commission on or prior to the 120th day following the
date of the original issuance of the Securities, (ii) the Exchange Offer
Registration Statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the 180th day
following the date of the original issuance of the Securities,
(iii) neither the Registered Exchange Offer has been consummated nor the
Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective on or prior to the 225th day
following the date of the original issuance of the Securities, or
(iv) after either the Exchange Offer Registration or Shelf Registration
Statement has been declared effective, such Registration Statement thereafter
ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of the Securities or
Exchange Securities in accordance with and during the periods specified in the
Registration Agreement (each such event referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv) above being referred to herein as a “Registration Default”), interest (the
“Special Interest”) shall accrue on the principal amount of the Securities and
the Exchange Securities (in addition to stated interest on the Securities and
the Exchange Securities) from and including the date on which any such
Registration Default shall occur to but excluding the date on which all
Registration Defaults have been cured, at a rate per annum equal to 0.25% of
the principal amount of the Securities; provided, however, that
such rate per annum shall increase by 0.25% per annum from and including the 121st
day after the first such Registration Default unless and until all Registration
Defaults have been cured; provided further, however, that in no
event shall the Special Interest accrue at a rate in excess of 0.50% per
annum.  The Special Interest will be
payable in cash semiannually in arrears each January 27 and July 27.


 


3





















 


2.  Method of Payment


 


The Company
will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons
who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the January 15
or July 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are
canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments.  The
Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of
America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.  Payments in respect of
the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium
and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company.  Payments on the Securities will be made at
the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the city and
State of New York in the United States or at the office of the Luxembourg
Paying Agent and Transfer Agent in Luxembourg unless the Company elects to make
interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in
the Register; provided, however, that payments on the Securities
may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $10,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account
maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder
elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Company to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately
preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee
may accept in its discretion).


 


3.  Paying Agent and Registrar


 


Initially, THE
BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York corporation (the “Trustee”), will act as
Paying Agent and Registrar and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg S.A.) will act
as Luxembourg Paying Agent and Transfer Agent. 
The Company may appoint and change any Paying Agent, Registrar or co-registrar
without notice.  The Company or any of
its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


4.  Indenture


 


The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of July 27, 2005 (the “Indenture”),
between the Company and the Trustee.  The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”).  Terms defined in the Indenture and not
defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement
of those terms.


 


The Securities
are senior unsecured obligations of the Company unlimited in principal
amount.  [This Security is one of the
Original Securities referred to in the Indenture issued in an aggregate
principal amount of $200,000,000.  The
Securities include the Original Securities, additional Initial Securities that
may be issued under the Indenture, and any Exchange Securities issued in
exchange for Initial Securities].  [This


 


4





















 


Security is one of the additional
Initial Securities referred to in the Indenture.  The Securities include such additional
Securities, the Original Securities in an aggregate principal amount of $200,000,000
previously issued under the Indenture and any Exchange Securities issued in
exchange for Initial Securities.  The
additional Initial Securities, the Original Securities and the Exchange
Securities are treated as a single class of securities under the
Indenture.]  The Original Securities,
such additional Initial Securities and the Exchange Securities are treated as a
single class of securities under the Indenture. 
The Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company
and its Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or incur Liens and enter
into Sale and Leaseback transactions and limitations on the ability of
Subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness.  The
Indenture also imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate
or merge with or into any other Person or convey or transfer its assets
substantially as an entity.  If the
Company attains Investment Grade Status, and notwithstanding that the Company
may later cease to have an Investment Grade Rating from any of the Rating
Agencies, the Company and its Subsidiaries will be released from their
obligations to comply with certain of 
the restrictive covenants in the Indenture.


 


5.  Optional Redemption


 


(a)  Except
as set forth below, the Securities may not be redeemed prior to their Stated
Maturity.  The Company is not, however,
prohibited from acquiring the Securities by means other than a redemption,
whether pursuant to a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long
as the acquisition does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.


 


(b)  The Securities may be redeemed, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount
of the Securities to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values
of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Securities
to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption
date) discounted to that redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus
50 basis points; plus, in the case of both clause (i) and
clause (ii) above, accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of
the Securities being redeemed to, but not including, the date of
redemption.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, payments of interest on the Securities will be payable to the
Holders of those Securities registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant record dates according to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.


 


6.  Sinking Fund


 


The Securities
are not subject to any sinking fund.


 


7.  Notice of Redemption


 


Notice of
redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address.  Any notice to Holders of Securities of such a


 


5





















 


redemption pursuant to
clause (b) in paragraph 5 needs to include the appropriate
calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include the
redemption price itself.  The actual
redemption price, calculated as described in such clause (b), must be set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two
Business Days prior to the redemption date. 
Securities in denominations larger than $100,000 may be redeemed in part
but only in whole multiples of $1,000. 
If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest
on all Securities (or portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date
is deposited with the Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain
other conditions are satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to
accrue on such Securities (or such portions thereof) called for redemption.


 


8.  Repurchase of Securities at the Option of
Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event


 


Upon a Change
of Control Triggering Event, any Holder of Securities will have the right,
subject to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company
to repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase
price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased
plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to
the right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest
due on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.


 


9.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange


 


The Securities
are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A
Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the
Indenture.  Upon any transfer or
exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay
any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be
redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities from the record date to the
due date for any payment of principal of, or interest on, the Securities or for
15 days prior to selection for redemption through the date of redemption.


 


10.  Persons Deemed Owners


 


The registered
Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.


 


11.  Unclaimed Money


 


If money for
the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written
request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.  After any


 


6





















 


such payment, Holders entitled
to the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.


 


12.  Discharge and Defeasance


 


Subject to
certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal
and interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.


 


13.  Amendment, Waiver


 


Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the
Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Securityholder but with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default or
noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities.  Subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of
Securities, the Company and the Trustee may not amend the Indenture or the
Securities to:  change any installment of
interest with respect to any Security or reduce the principal amount of or
interest with respect to any Security; change cash prices at which the
Securities may be redeemed by the Issuer; reduce the premium payable upon a
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at any time after a Change of Control
Triggering Event has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control
Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the Securities must be
repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; change the currency in
which, or change the required place at which, payment with respect to principal
of or interest with respect to the Securities is payable; or reduce the
above-stated percentage of principal amount outstanding of Securities required
to modify or amend the Indenture or the terms or conditions of the Securities
or to waive any future compliance or past default.


 


14.  Defaults and Remedies


 


If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, subject to
certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and
payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being
immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default
without any further act of the Trustee or any Holder.


 


Holders of
Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse
to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable
indemnity or security.  Subject to
certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust
or power under the Indenture.  The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then
outstanding, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any


 


7





















 


declaration of acceleration and
its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or
decree, and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or waived except
nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely because of the
acceleration.


 


15.  Trustee Dealings with the Company


 


Subject to
certain limitations imposed by the TIA, 
the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.


 


16.  No Recourse Against Others


 


A director,
officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary shall
not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation.  By
accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such
liability.  The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.


 


Authentication


 


This Security
shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
other side of this Security.


 


Abbreviations


 


Customary
abbreviations may be used in the name of a Securityholder or an assignee, such
as TEN COM (=tenants in common), TEN ENT (=tenants by the entireties), JT TEN
(=joint tenants with rights of survivorship and not as tenants in common), CUST
(=custodian), and U/G/M/A (=Uniform Gift to Minors Act).


 


Governing Law


 


THIS
SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF NEW YORK BUT WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO APPLICABLE PRINCIPLES
OF CONFLICTS OF LAW TO THE EXTENT THAT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER
JURISDICTION WOULD BE REQUIRED THEREBY.


 


CUSIP Numbers


 


Pursuant to a
recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform Security Identification
Procedures, the Company has caused CUSIP numbers to be printed on the
Securities and has directed the Trustee to use CUSIP numbers in notices of


 


8





















 


redemption as a convenience to
Securityholders.  No representation is
made as to the accuracy of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or
as contained in any notice of redemption and reliance may be placed only on the
other identification numbers placed thereon.

[FORM OF REVERSE SIDE OF SECURITY]


 


6.375% Notes
due 2015


 


1.  Interest.


 


SOUTHERN PERU
COPPER CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (such corporation, and its
successors and assigns under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, being
herein called the “Company”), promises to pay interest on the principal amount
of this Security at the rate per annum shown above.  The Company will pay interest semiannually on
January 27 and July 27 of each year, commencing January 27, 2006.  Interest on the Securities will accrue from
the most recent date to which interest has been paid or, if no interest has
been paid, from July 27, 2005. 
Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.  The Company shall pay interest
on overdue principal at the rate borne by the Securities plus 1% per annum, and
it shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at the rate borne by
the Securities to the extent lawful.


 


2.  Method of Payment


 


The Company
will pay interest on the Securities (except defaulted interest) to the Persons
who are registered holders of Securities at the close of business on the January 15
or July 15 next preceding the interest payment date even if Securities are
canceled after the record date and on or before the interest payment date.  Holders must surrender Securities to a Paying
Agent to collect principal payments.  The
Company will pay principal and interest in money of the United States of
America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts.  Payments in respect of
the Securities represented by a Global Security (including principal, premium
and interest) will be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to
the accounts specified by The Depository Trust Company.  Payments on the Securities will be made at
the office or agency of the Paying Agent and Registrar within the city and
State of New York in the United States or at the office of the Luxembourg Paying
Agent and Transfer Agent in Luxembourg unless the Company elects to make
interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in
the Register; provided, however, that payments on the Securities
may also be made, in the case of a Holder of at least $10,000,000 in aggregate
principal amount of Securities, by wire transfer to a U.S. dollar account
maintained by the payee with a bank in the United States if such Holder
elects payment by wire transfer by giving written notice to the Company to such
effect designating such account no later than 30 days immediately
preceding the relevant due date for payment (or such other date as the Trustee
may accept in its discretion).


 


3.  Paying Agent and Registrar


 


Initially, THE
BANK OF NEW YORK, a New York (the “Trustee”), will act as Paying Agent and
Registrar and The Bank of New York (Luxembourg S.A.) will act as Luxembourg Paying
Agent and Transfer Agent.  The Company
may appoint and


 


3





















 


change any Paying Agent,
Registrar or co-registrar without notice. 
The Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or Registrar.


 


4.  Indenture


 


The Company
issued the Securities under an Indenture dated as of July 27, 2005 (the “Indenture”),
between the Company and the Trustee.  The
terms of the Securities include those stated in the Indenture and those made
part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 (15 U.S.C.
§§ 77aaa-77bbbb) as in effect on the date of the Indenture (the “TIA”).  Terms defined in the Indenture and not
defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.  The Securities are subject to all such terms,
and Securityholders are referred to the Indenture and the TIA for a statement
of those terms.


 


The Securities
are senior unsecured obligations of the Company unlimited in aggregate
principal amount.  This Security is one
of the Exchange Securities referred to in the Indenture issued in exchange for
Initial Securities.  The Securities include
the Exchange Securities, the Original Securities in the aggregate principal
amount of $200,000,000 and additional Initial Securities.  The Exchange Securities, the Original
Securities and such additional Initial Securities are treated as a single class
of securities under the Indenture.  The
Indenture imposes certain limitations on the ability of the Company and its
Subsidiaries to, among other things, create or incur Liens and enter into Sale
and Leaseback transactions and limitations on the ability of Subsidiaries to
incur Indebtedness.  The Indenture also
imposes limitations on the ability of the Company to consolidate or merge with
or into any other Person or If the Company attains Investment Grade Status, and
notwithstanding that the Company may later cease to have an Investment Grade
Rating from any of the Rating Agencies, the Company and its Subsidiaries will
be released from their obligations to comply with certain of  the restrictive covenants in the Indenture.


 


5.  Optional Redemption


 


(a)  Except
as set forth below, the Securities are not redeemable at the Company’s option.  The Company is not, however, prohibited from
acquiring the Securities by means other than a redemption, whether pursuant to
a tender offer, open market purchase or otherwise, so long as the acquisition
does not otherwise violate the terms of the Indenture.


 


(b)  The Securities may be redeemed, in whole or
in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company’s option at a
redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount
of the Securities to be redeemed, and (ii) the sum of the present values
of the Remaining Scheduled Payments of principal and interest on the Securities
to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the applicable redemption date)
discounted to that redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 50 basis
points; plus, in the case of both clause (i) and clause (ii) above,
accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of the Securities being
redeemed to, but not including, the date of redemption.


 


4





















 


Notwithstanding the foregoing,
payments of interest on the Securities will be payable to the Holders of those
Securities registered as such at the close of business on the relevant record
dates according to the terms and provisions of the Indenture.


 


6. Sinking Fund


 


The Securities
are not subject to any sinking fund.


 


7.  Notice of Redemption


 


Notice of
redemption will be mailed by first-class mail at least 30 days but not
more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed at his or her registered address.  Any notice to Holders of Securities of such a
redemption pursuant to clause (b) in paragraph 5 needs to include the
appropriate calculation of the redemption price, but does not need to include
the redemption price itself.  The actual
redemption price, calculated as described in such clause (b), must be set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee no later than two Business
Days prior to the redemption date.  Securities
in denominations larger than $1,000 may be redeemed in part but only in whole
multiples of $1,000.  If money sufficient
to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest on all Securities (or
portions thereof) to be redeemed on the redemption date is deposited with the
Paying Agent on or before the redemption date and certain other conditions are
satisfied, on and after such date interest ceases to accrue on such Securities
(or such portions thereof) called for redemption.


 


8.  Repurchase of Securities at the Option of
Holders upon Change of Control Triggering Event


 


Upon a Change
of Control Triggering Event, Holders of securities will have the right, subject
to certain conditions specified in the Indenture, to cause the Company to
repurchase all or any part of the Securities of such Holder at a purchase price
equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Securities to be repurchased plus
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase (subject to the
right of Holders of record on the relevant record date to receive interest due
on the relevant interest payment date that is on or prior to the date of
purchase) as provided in, and subject to the terms of, the Indenture.


 


9.  Denominations; Transfer; Exchange


 


The Securities
are in registered form without coupons in denominations of $100,000 and integral
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.  A
Holder may transfer or exchange Securities in accordance with the
Indenture.  Upon any transfer or
exchange, the Registrar and the Trustee may require a Holder, among other
things, to furnish appropriate endorsements or transfer documents and to pay
any taxes required by law or permitted by the Indenture.  The Registrar need not register the transfer
of or exchange any Securities selected for redemption (except, in the case of a
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion of the Security not to be
redeemed) or to transfer or exchange any Securities from the record date to the
due date for any payment of principal of, or interest


 


5





















 


on, the Securities or for 15
days prior to selection for redemption through the date of redemption.


 


10.  Persons Deemed Owners


 


The registered
Holder of this Security may be treated as the owner of it for all purposes.


 


11.  Unclaimed Money


 


If money for
the payment of principal or interest remains unclaimed for two years, the
Trustee or Paying Agent shall pay the money back to the Company at its written
request unless an abandoned property law designates another Person.  After any such payment, Holders entitled to
the money must look only to the Company and not to the Trustee for payment.


 


12.  Discharge and Defeasance


 


Subject to
certain conditions, the Company at any time may terminate some of or all its
obligations under the Securities and the Indenture if the Company deposits with
the Trustee money or U.S. Government Obligations for the payment of principal and
interest on the Securities to redemption or maturity, as the case may be.


 


13.  Amendment, Waiver


 


Subject to
certain exceptions set forth in the Indenture, (i) the Indenture or the
Securities may be amended without prior notice to any Securityholder but with
the written consent of the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the outstanding Securities and (ii) any default or
noncompliance with any provision may be waived with the written consent of the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Securities.  Subject to certain
exceptions set forth in the Indenture, without the consent of each Holder of
Securities, the Company and the Trustee may not amend the Indenture or the
Securities to:  change any installment of
interest with respect to any Security or reduce the principal amount of or
interest with respect to any Security; change cash prices at which the
Securities may be redeemed by the Issuer; reduce the premium payable upon a
Change of Control Triggering Event or, at any time after a Change of Control
Triggering Event has occurred, change the time at which the Change of Control
Offer relating thereto must be made or at which the Securities must be
repurchased pursuant to such Change of Control Offer; change the currency in
which, or change the required place at which, payment with respect to principal
of or interest with respect to the Securities is payable; or reduce the
above-stated percentage of principal amount outstanding of Securities required
to modify or amend the Indenture or the terms or conditions of the Securities
or to waive any future compliance or past default.


 


6





















 


14.  Defaults and Remedies


 


If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, subject to
certain limitations, may declare all the Securities to be immediately due and
payable.  Certain events of bankruptcy or
insolvency are Events of Default and shall result in the Securities being
immediately due and payable upon the occurrence of such Events of Default
without any further act of the Trustee or any Holder.


 


Holders of
Securities may not enforce the Indenture or the Securities except as provided
in the Indenture.  The Trustee may refuse
to enforce the Indenture or the Securities unless it receives reasonable
indemnity or security.  Subject to certain
limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
then outstanding may direct the Trustee in its exercise of any trust or power
under the Indenture.  The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding, by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind any declaration of
acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any
judgment or decree, and if all existing Events of Default have been cured or
waived except nonpayment of principal or interest that has become due solely
because of the acceleration.


 


15.  Trustee Dealings with the Company


 


Subject to
certain limitations imposed by the TIA, 
the Trustee under the Indenture, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal
with and collect obligations owed to it by the Company or its Affiliates and
may otherwise deal with the Company or its Affiliates with the same rights it
would have if it were not Trustee.


 


16.  No Recourse Against Others


 


A director,
officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company or any Subsidiary shall
not have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
or the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
obligations or their creation.  By
accepting a Security, each Securityholder waives and releases all such
liability.  The waiver and release are
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities.


 


17.  Authentication


 


This Security
shall not be valid until an authorized signatory of the Trustee (or an
authenticating agent) manually signs the certificate of authentication on the
other side of this Security.
