authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, but the Company shall have

first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in
the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date,
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed
to a Holder in the manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by
such Holder, regardless of whether such Holder actually receives such notice.



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



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



Section 1.8 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.




     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture
Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision
shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or excluded, as the case may be.



Section 1.9 Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

shall not affect the construction hereof.

any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any
series that specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section 1.14))
payment of interest or principal and any premium need not be made at such Place of Payment on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, or at the Stated
Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.



Section 1.15 Securities in a Composite Currency, Currency Unit or Foreign Currency.




     Unless otherwise specified in an Officer’s Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.1 of
this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this
Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal
amount of Securities of all series or all series affected by a particular action at the time
Outstanding and, at such time, there are Outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated
in a coin, currency or currencies other than Dollars (including, but not limited to, any composite
currency, currency units or Foreign Currency), then the principal amount of Securities of such
series which shall be deemed to be Outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that
amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes
of this Section 1.15, the term “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in The
City of New York for cable transfers of such currency or currencies as published by the Federal

discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York as of the most recent available date, or quotations or rates of exchange from one or more
major banks in The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question, which
for purposes of euros shall be Brussels, Belgium, or such other quotations or rates of exchange as
the Trustee shall deem appropriate.

The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in
respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than Dollars in connection with
any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture.




     All decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any
alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be in its sole discretion
and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive to the extent permitted by law for all
purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Issuer and all Holders.



Section 1.16 Payment in Required Currency; Judgment Currency.




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

Indenture or of or contained in any Security or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, or in any Security or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against the General Partner, or any incorporator, shareholder, member, officer,
manager or director, as such, past, present or future, of the General Partner, the Company, or any
successor Person, either directly or through the General Partner, the Company,



14

time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture
and their consequences.



Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such
Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, regardless of whether
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

considered the Holders thereof for any purpose under the Indenture.]



[If a Definitive Security, insert—As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registerable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
[if applicable, insert— any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this

transferee or transferees.]

successor Person, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment, penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such
liability is hereby expressly waived and released by the acceptance hereof and as a condition of,
and as part of the consideration for, the Securities and the execution of the Indenture.

respect of the Securities (except for certain obligations described in the Indenture), or (b) need
not comply with certain restrictive covenants of the Indenture, in each case if the Company

the Securities, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.



Except as otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this Security which are defined in the
Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

     (c) that such Securities when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions and assumptions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company



26









 







enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to the following limitations: (i) bankruptcy, insolvency,
moratorium, reorganization, liquidation, fraudulent conveyance or transfer and other
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’
rights, or to general equity principles, (ii) the availability of equitable remedies being subject
to the discretion of the court to which application therefor is made; and (iii) such other usual
and customary matters as shall be specified in such Opinion of Counsel.



     If such form or forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect
the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise
in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, if all
Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver the Officer’s Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.1 or the Company Order
and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior
to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.



     With respect to Securities of a series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely,
as to the authorization by the Company of any of such Securities, on the form or forms and terms
thereof and the legality, validity, binding effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of
Counsel and the other documents delivered pursuant to Section 2.1 and Section 3.1 and this Section,
as applicable, in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such series.



     Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.



     No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized
officer, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been
authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company
shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9 for all
purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and
delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.



Section 3.4 Temporary Securities.




     Pending the preparation of Definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are
printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive Securities in lieu of which they are
issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the



27









 







officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.



     If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause Definitive Securities
of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of Definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for
Definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at
the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the
Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of Definitive Securities of the same series and tenor of authorized denominations.
Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Securities of such series.



Section 3.5 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.




     The Company shall cause to be kept at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment required by Section 10.2 a register (the register maintained in such office being herein
sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations
as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers
of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed as the initial “Security Registrar” for the purpose
of registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided, and its corporate trust
office, which, at the date hereof, is located at [                                        ], is the initial office or
agency where the Securities Register will be maintained. The Company may at any time replace such
Security Registrar, change such office or agency or act as its own Security Registrar. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change of the Security Registrar or of the
location of such office or agency.



     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the office or
agency maintained pursuant to Section 10.2 for such purpose, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities, of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount.



     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denominations and of
a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office
or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, which the Holder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.



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



28









 





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



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



     The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at, the opening of business 15 days before the
day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption
under Section 11.3 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.



     Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture and except as otherwise specified with
respect to any particular series of Securities as contemplated by Section 3.1, a Global Security
representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred, except as a
whole by the Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such
Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any
such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.
Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of, transfer of, or in exchange for or
in lieu of, a Global Security shall be a Global Security except as provided in the two paragraphs
immediately following.



     If at any time the Depositary for any Securities of a series represented by one or more Global
Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such
Securities or if at any time the Depositary for such Securities shall no longer be eligible to
continue as Depositary under Section 3.1 or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Exchange Act, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Securities. If
a successor Depositary for such Securities is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the
Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company’s election
pursuant to Section 3.1 that such Securities be represented by one or more Global Securities shall
no longer be effective and the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of Definitive Securities of such series, will
authenticate and deliver, Securities, of such series in definitive registered form without coupons,
in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange for such Global Security
or Securities registered in the names of such Persons as the Depositary shall direct.



     The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by a
Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and the Trustee, upon



29









 







receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of the Definitive Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities, of such series in definitive registered form
without coupons, in any authorized denominations, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Securities in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities registered in the names of such Persons as the
Depositary shall direct.



     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 with respect to Securities represented by
a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global Security in
exchange in whole or in part for Securities of the same series and tenor in definitive registered
form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the Trustee and such Depositary. Thereupon,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of Securities in definitive registered form, shall authenticate and deliver, without
service charge,



     (a) to the Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities, of the same
series and tenor, of any authorized denominations as requested by such Person, in an aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global
Security; and



     (b) to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if
any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal
amount of Securities authenticated and delivered pursuant to clause (a) above.



Every Person who takes or holds any beneficial interest in a Global Security agrees that:



     (a) the Company and the Trustee may deal with the Depositary as sole owner of the Global
Security and as the authorized representative of such Person;



     (b) such Person’s rights in the Global Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreement between such Person and the
Depositary and/or direct and indirect participants of the Depositary;



     (c) the Depositary and its participants make book-entry transfers of beneficial ownership
among, and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on the Global Securities
to, such Persons in accordance with their own procedures; and



     (d) none of the Company, the Trustee, nor any agent of any of them will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.



Section 3.6 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.




     If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, together with, in proper cases, such
security or indemnity as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them and any
agent of any of them harmless, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall




30











 




authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.




     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be
required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.



     In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay
such Security.



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



     Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed,
lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company regardless of whether the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.



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



Section 3.7 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.




     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest.



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



     (a) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose
names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at
the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such



31









 







Defaulted Interest, which
shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of
the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid
in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided. Thereupon, the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the
proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in
the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder of Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register,
not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record
Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (b).



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


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




Section 3.8 Persons Deemed Owners.




     Except as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Securities, prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent thereof may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the
owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and
(subject to Section 3.5 and Section 3.7) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, regardless of whether such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee
nor any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the contrary.



     No holder of any beneficial interest in any Global Security held on its behalf by a Depositary
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such Global Security, and such
Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of thereof as the owner of such
Global Security for all purposes whatsoever.





32









 






Section 3.9 Cancellation.




     All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at
any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver
to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in
accordance with its customary practices, and the Trustee shall thereafter deliver to the Company a
certificate with respect to such disposition from time to time upon written request.



Section 3.10 Computation of Interest.




     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day
months.



Section 3.11 CUSIP or CINS Numbers.




     The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or “CINS” numbers (if then generally in
use, and in addition to the other identification numbers printed on the Securities), and, if so,
the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” or “CINS” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders; provided, however, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such “CUSIP” or “CINS” 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 “CUSIP” or “CINS” numbers.



ARTICLE FOUR

deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for such
purpose an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities

ARTICLE FIVE

REMEDIES





Section 5.1 Events of Default.



     “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means any
one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or
order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely
for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance of such default or
breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the
Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder; or



     (d) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant in this Indenture (other than a
covenant in Article Ten or any other covenant a default in whose performance or whose breach is
elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this
Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and continuance
of such default or breach for a period of 180 days after there has been given, by registered or

     (g) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due; or



     (h) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series in
accordance with Section 3.1.



35









 





Section 5.2 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.



     If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs
and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of a specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal
amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities
of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
amount) shall become immediately due and payable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of
Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 5.1 occurs, the Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice.



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



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



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



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



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



     (iv) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and



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


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




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




     The Company covenants that if:



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



36









 





     (b) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security
at the Maturity thereof,


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




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



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



Section 5.4 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.




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



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



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


and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official
in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, if 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,


37









 






 disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under
Section 6.7.

consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, compromise,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof
or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;

trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar
committee.

     All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof

brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 5.7 Limitation on Suits.




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



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



38









 





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



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



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



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


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




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




     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 3.5 and Section 3.7) interest on such Security on the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption
Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be
impaired without the consent of such Holder.



Section 5.9 Restoration of Rights and Remedies.




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

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of
any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy



39









 







hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.



Section 5.11 Delay or Omission Not Waiver.




     To fullest extent permitted by applicable law, no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall
impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article Five or by law to the Trustee or
to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.



Section 5.12 Control by Holders.




     The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding
for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee,
with respect to the Securities of such series; provided, however, that:



     (a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture;



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

follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall determine that the proceeding so
directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability.



Section 5.13 Waiver of Past Defaults.




     By written notice to the Company and the Trustee, the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except:



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



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


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





40









 





Section 5.14 Undertaking for Costs.






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



Section 5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.




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

     (a) Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,



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



     (ii) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may 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; but in the
case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required
to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.



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



41









 





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



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



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

time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of such series; and



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



     (d) Regardless of whether therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture
relating to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall
be subject to the provisions of this Section.



Section 6.2 Notice of Defaults.

to the Trustee, unless such Default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that,
except in the case of a Default in the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on
any Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to
Securities of such series, the Trustee may withhold from Holders of Securities notice of any
continuing Default or Event of Default if the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding
of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of Securities of such series; and, provided,
further, that in the case of any Default of the character specified in Section 5.1(c) with respect
to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 90 days after

Section 6.4 Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.




     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company and the Trustee or any
Authenticating Agent assumes no responsibility for their correctness. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent makes any representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture
or of the Securities. The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall not be accountable for the use
or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.



Section 6.5 May Hold Securities.




     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of

advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and



     (c) to indemnify each of the Trustee and its officers, directors, agents and employees for,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or



44









 







willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or

doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital
and surplus required by the Trust Indenture Act, subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of
this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The

successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.



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



45









 







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



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



     (d) If at any time:



     (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act after

insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees.



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



46









 





     (f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such series in the manner provided in
Section 1.7. Each notice shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.



Section 6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.




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



     (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i)
shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those
series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute
such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust
or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other
such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each such
successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the
Company, or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.



     (c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee



47









 







all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the
case may be.



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



Section 6.12 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.




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



Section 6.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.




     Reference is made to Section 311 of the Trust Indenture Act. For purposes of Section 311(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act,



     (a) the term “cash transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or
securities sold is made within seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or
in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand;



     (b) the term “self-liquidating paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or
obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing
the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise
and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods,
wares or merchandise or the receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security is received by the Trustee
simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the
making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.



Section 6.14 Appointment of Authenticating Agent.




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



48









 







shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America,
any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising
or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of
such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.



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



     An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee
and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such
a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall mail
written notice of such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names
and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance
of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No
successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this
Section.



     Except with respect to an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Company, the
Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for
its services under this Section 6.14, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed by the
Company for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 6.7.



     If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.14,
the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee’s certificate
of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in the following form:

HOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY




Section 7.1 Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.



The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee:




     (a) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each Regular Record Date for a series of
Securities, a list for such series of Securities, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities of such series as of such Regular
Record Date, and



     (b) at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the
receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not
more than 15 days prior to the time such list is furnished;



     provided, however, that if and so long as the Trustee shall be the Security Registrar, no such
list need be furnished with respect to such series of Securities.



Section 7.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.




     (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names
and addresses of Holders contained in the most recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in
Section 7.1 and the names and addresses of Holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as
Security Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 7.1
upon receipt of a new list so furnished.



     (b) If three or more Holders (herein referred to as “applicants”) apply in writing to the
Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security
for a period of at least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application
states that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights
under this Indenture or under the Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form



50









 







of proxy or
other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five
business days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either



     (i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in
accordance with Section 7.2(a), or



     (ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of Holders whose names and addresses
appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a),
and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders the form of proxy or other communication,
if any, specified in such application.



     If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to such information, the
Trustee shall, upon the written request of such applicants, mail to each Holder whose name and
address appear in the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
7.2(a) a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with
reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed and of payment, or
provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after
such tender the Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the SEC, together with a copy
of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect that, in the opinion of the
Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best interest of the Holders or would be in
violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the
SEC, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so
filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an
order sustaining one or more of such objections, the SEC shall find, after notice and opportunity
for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so
declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Holders with reasonable
promptness after the entry of such order and the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee
shall be relieved of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.



     (c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company,
and the Trustee that none of the Company, nor the Trustee nor any agent of any of them shall be
held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses
of the Holders in accordance with Section 7.2(b), regardless of the source from which such
information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing
any material pursuant to a request made under Section 7.2(b).



Section 7.3 Reports by Trustee.




     Any Trustee’s report required pursuant to Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act shall be
dated as of May 15, and shall be transmitted within 60 days after May 15 of each year (but in all
events at intervals of not more than 12 months), commencing with the year 20___, by mail to all
Holders, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. A copy of each such report
shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the Trustee with each stock
exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the SEC and with the Company. The Company will
notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock exchange.

53









 







are expressly
being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender any right or power herein
conferred upon the Company and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a
Default in any such additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of
Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in
this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, that in respect of any such additional covenant,
restriction, condition or provision such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period
of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such an Event of Default or may
limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such an Event of Default or may limit the right of

     (f) to make any change to any provision of this Indenture that does not adversely affect the

     (g) provide for the issuance of additional Securities in accordance with the provisions set

benefit of such provision; or



     (k) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Section 2.1 and
Section 3.1, including to reopen any series of any Securities as permitted under Section 3.1; or



     (l) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee

(and/or any supplemental indenture) or any debt securities issued thereunder; or



     (n) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be

or


54

similar federal statute subsequently enacted, and to add to this Indenture such other provisions as
may be expressly required under the Trust Indenture Act.



     Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, the Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make
any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained and to accept the
conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, charge or pledge of any property thereunder, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.



Section 9.2 With Consent of Holders.




     The Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture and the Securities with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
each series of Securities affected by such amendment or supplemental indenture, with each such
series voting as a separate class (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection
with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for Securities) and, subject to Section 5.8
and Section 5.13 hereof, any existing Default or Event of Default or compliance with any provision
of this Indenture or the Securities may be waived with respect to each series of Securities with
the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series voting as a separate class (including consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or
tender offer or exchange offer for, Securities).



     Upon the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with
the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities as
aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 6.3 hereof, the
Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture
unless such amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion, but
will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental Indenture.



     It is not necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section 9.2 to
approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, supplement or waiver, but it is sufficient
if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment, supplement or waiver.



     After an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section 9.2 becomes effective, the Company
will mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby a notice briefly describing the amendment,
supplement or waiver. Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, will
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such amended or supplemental
indenture or waiver. Subject to Section 5.8 and Section 5.13 hereof, the application of or
compliance with, either generally or in any particular instance, of any provision of this
Indenture, the Securities may be waived as to each series of Securities by the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series. However,



55









 







without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver under this Section
9.2 may not (with respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):



     (a) change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or
interest on, any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon
or any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an
Original Issue Discount Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration
of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 5.2, or change any Place of Payment where, or the coin
or currency in which, any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the
right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity
thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or



     (b) reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, the
consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose
Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or
certain defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or



     (c) modify any of the provisions of this Section 9.2, Section 5.8, Section 5.13 or Section
10.6, except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of this
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security affected thereby, provided, however, that this clause (c) shall not be deemed to require
the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and
concomitant changes in this Section, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the
requirements of Section 6.11(b) and Section 9.1(h); or



     (d) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Security; provided, however, that any
purchase or repurchase of Securities shall not be deemed a redemption of the Securities; or



     (e) make any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.



     A supplemental indenture that changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this
Indenture that has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or that modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect
to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture
of the Holders of Securities of any other series.



Section 9.3 Execution of Supplemental Indentures.




     In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts created by this Indenture, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter
into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise.






56









 






Section 9.4 Effect of Supplemental Indentures.




     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article Nine, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of
this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter
authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby.



Section 9.5 Conformity with Trust Indenture Act.




     Every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article Nine shall conform to the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.



Section 9.6 Reference in Securities to Supplemental Indentures.




     Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Article Nine may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation
in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If
the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding
Securities of such series.



ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS




Section 10.1 Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.




     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will

registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such
office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.



     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes
and may from time to time rescind such designations. The Company will give prompt written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
other office or agency.



57









 





     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities as contemplated by
Section 3.1, the Company hereby initially designates the office of the Trustee located at
[                    ], as the Company’s office or agency for each such purpose for each series
of Securities.



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




     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent, with respect to any series of
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of and any premium or interest on
any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.



     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it

that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to
such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. For purposes of this Section 10.3,
should a due date for principal of and any premium or interest on, or sinking fund payment with
respect to any series of Securities not be on a Business Day, such payment shall be due on the next
Business Day without any interest for the period from the due date until such Business Day.



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



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



     (b) give the Trustee notice of any Default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment of principal and any premium or interest on
the Securities of that series; and



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

this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such
Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.



58









 





     Subject to any applicable escheat or abandoned property laws, any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of and any premium or interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed
for one year after such principal and any premium or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor,
look only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a
newspaper published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day and of
general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days
from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be
repaid to the Company.



Section 10.4 Existence.




     Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to
preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and statutory) and
franchises; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or
franchise if the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer
desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company.

     Annually, within 150 days after the close of each fiscal year beginning with the first fiscal
year during which one or more series of Securities are Outstanding, the Company will deliver to the
Trustee a brief certificate (which need not include the statements set forth in Section 1.3) from
the principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer of the
Company as to his or her knowledge of the Company’s compliance (without regard to any period of
grace or requirement of notice provided herein) with all conditions and covenants under the
Indenture and, if the Company shall be in Default, specifying all such Defaults and the nature and
status thereof of which such officer has knowledge.



Section 10.6 Additional Amounts.

Section 3.1(o)), at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that
series of Securities and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities of that series if there has been a change with respect to the
matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officer’s Certificate, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee and the principal Paying Agent, if other than the Trustee, an Officer’s Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent whether such payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to holders of the Securities of
that series without withholding or deduction for or on account of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding or
deduction shall be



59









 







required, then such Officer’s Certificate shall specify by country the amount,
if any, required to be withheld or deducted on such payments to such holders and shall certify the
fact that
additional amounts will be payable and the amounts so payable to each holder, and the Company
shall pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the additional amounts required to be paid by this
Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred without negligence or bad
faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in
reliance on any Officer’s Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section 10.6.



     Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of
or any premium, interest or any other amounts on, or in respect of, any Securities of any series,
such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided by
the terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context,
additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and
express mention of the payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall
not be construed as excluding the payment of additional amounts in those provisions hereof where
such express mention is not made.



ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES




Section 11.1 Applicability of Article.




     Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable
in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article Eleven.



Section 11.2 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.




     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution.
In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any
series, the Company shall, at least 15 days prior to the last date for the giving of notice of such
redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and,
if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities (a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company
that is subject to a condition specified in the terms of the Securities of the series to be
redeemed, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance
with such restriction or condition.



Section 11.3 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.




     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities
of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed), the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from
the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as
the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection



60









 







for redemption
of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities of such series
of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that series.



     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed. If the Securities of any series to be redeemed consist of Securities having
different dates on which the principal is payable or different rates of interest, or different
methods by which interest may be determined or have any other different tenor or terms, then the
Company may, by written notice to the Trustee, direct that the Securities of such series to be
redeemed shall be selected from among the groups of such Securities having specified tenor or terms
and the Trustee shall thereafter select the particular Securities to be redeemed in the manner set
forth in the preceding paragraph from among the group of such Securities so specified.



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



Section 11.4 Notice of Redemption.




     Notice of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than
30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed,
at his address appearing in the Security Register.



All notices of redemption shall state:



     (a) the Redemption Date,



     (b) the Redemption Price, or if not then ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof,



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



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



     (e) the place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price, and



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



61









 




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




Section 11.5 Deposit of Redemption Price.




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



Section 11.6 Securities Payable on Redemption Date.




     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall,
on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such Security
for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the
Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series as contemplated in Section 3.1,
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be
payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as
such at the close of business on the relevant record dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 3.7.



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



Section 11.7 Securities Redeemed in Part.




     Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the
Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new
Security or Securities of the same series and tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by
such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of
the principal of the Security so surrendered.





62









 





ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS




Section 12.1 Applicability of Article.





     The provisions of this Article Twelve shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1
for Securities of such series.



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



Section 12.2 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.




     The Company (a) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously
called for redemption) and (b) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which have been
redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through
the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that such Securities have not been
previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the
Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of
the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.



Section 12.3 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.




     Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities
(unless a shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 12.2 and stating the basis
for such credit and that such Securities have not been previously so credited, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such
sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking
fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3 and cause notice of the redemption
thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 11.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.6 and Section 11.7.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

DEFEASANCE




Section 13.1 Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.




     The Company may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a resolution set forth
in an Officers’ Certificate, and at any time, elect to have either Section 13.2 or Section 13.3
hereof be applied to all outstanding Securities upon compliance with the conditions set forth below
in this Article Thirteen.



Section 13.2 Legal Defeasance and Discharge.




     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 13.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
13.2, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.4
hereof, be deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding
Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”). For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company will be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire Debt represented by the outstanding Securities, which will thereafter be
deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 13.5 hereof and the other sections of
this Indenture referred to in clauses (a) and (b) below, and to have satisfied all their other
obligations under such Securities and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the
following provisions which will survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:



     (a) the rights of Holders of Outstanding Securities to receive payments in respect of the
principal of, or interest or premium, if any, on such Securities when such payments are due from
the trust referred to in Section 13.4 hereof;



     (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Section 3.4, Section 3.5,
Section 3.6, Section 10.2 and Section 10.3 hereof;



     (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and



     (d) this Article Thirteen.



     Subject to compliance with this Article Thirteen, the Company may exercise its option under
this Section 13.2 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section 13.3 hereof.



Section 13.3 Covenant Defeasance.




     Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 13.1 hereof of the option applicable to this Section
13.3, the Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.4
hereof, be released from each of their obligations under the covenants contained in Section 7.4,
Section 8.1 and Section 10.4 hereof as well as any Additional Defeasible Provisions (such release
and termination hereinafter referred to as “Covenant Defeasance”), and the Securities will
thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such
covenants, but will continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Securities will not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes). For this
purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the outstanding Securities, the



64









 







Company
may omit to comply with and will have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation
set forth in any such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply will not constitute a
Default or an Event of Default under Section 5.1 hereof, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities will be unaffected thereby.
In addition, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 13.1 hereof of the option applicable to
this Section 13.3 hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 13.4
hereof, Section 5.1(c) and Section 5.1(d) hereof and will not constitute Events of Default.



Section 13.4 Conditions to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.




     In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either Section 13.2
or Section 13.3 hereof:



     (a) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, or a
combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable U.S. Government Obligations, in such amounts
as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm,
or firm of independent public accountants to pay the principal of, or interest and premium, if any,
on the Outstanding Securities on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable
redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Securities are being
defeased to such stated date for payment or to a particular redemption date;



     (b) in the case of an election under Section 13.2 hereof, the Company must deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that:



     (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling; or



     (ii) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law,


in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel will confirm that, the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal
Defeasance had not occurred;




     (c) in the case of an election under Section 13.3 hereof, the Company must deliver to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant
Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at
the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;



65









 





     (d) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit
(other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to
such deposit);



     (e) the deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any other instrument to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound;



     (f) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture) to
which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is bound;



     (g) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that the deposit
was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Securities over the other
creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other
creditors of the Company or others;



     (h) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate, stating that all
conditions precedent set forth in clauses (a) through (g) of this Section 13.4 have been complied
with; and



     (i) the Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (which Opinion of Counsel
may be subject to customary assumptions, qualifications and exclusions), stating that all
conditions precedent set forth in clauses (b), (c) and (e) of this Section 13.4 have been complied
with; provided that the Opinion of Counsel with respect to clause (e) of this Section 13.4 may be
to the knowledge of such counsel.



Section 13.5 Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to be Held in Trust, Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.



     Subject to Section 13.6 hereof, all money and non-callable U.S. Government Obligation
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee,
collectively for purposes of this Section 13.5, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 hereof in
respect of the Outstanding Securities will be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.



     The Company will pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the cash or non-callable U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 13.4 hereof or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such
tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the Outstanding
Securities.



     Notwithstanding anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary, the Trustee will deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money or non-



66









 







callable U.S.
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4 hereof which, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 13.4(a) hereof),
are in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to effect an
equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.



Section 13.6 Repayment.




     Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security and
remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due
and payable shall be paid to the Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) will be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security will thereafter be permitted to look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, will thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any
such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the New York Times
and The Wall Street Journal (national edition), notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,
after a date specified therein, which will not be less than 30 days from the date of such
notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
the Company.



Section 13.7 Reinstatement.




     If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or non-callable
U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 hereof, as the case may
be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the Company’s obligations under this
Indenture and the Securities will be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 hereof, as the
case may be; provided, however, that, if the Company makes any payment of principal of, premium, if
any, or interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company will be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money
held by the Trustee or Paying Agent.
