stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the

     Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided

SECTION 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.




     In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion
of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by
the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document,
but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more
other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to

     Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may,
but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument.


SECTION 104. Acts of Holders.




     (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders (or Holders of any series) may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such
Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to
the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments, proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company and
any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.



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



5









 







may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any
instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section.



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



     (d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, by Board
Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the Company
shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such
record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the
Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record date, provided that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provision of this Indenture not later than six
months after the record date.



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


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




     Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,



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



     (2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class
postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to the attention of its Treasurer at [___] or any other
address subsequently furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.


SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.




     Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
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
in the manner prescribed by this Indenture shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given
whether or not received by any particular Holder. 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.



     In the case of Global Securities, notices or communications to be given to Holders shall be
given to the Depository, in accordance with its applicable policies from time to time.


SECTION 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.




     If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, such
required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any
provision of the Trust Indenture Act which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision
shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Trustee, any additional trustee and any
Paying Agents in this Indenture shall bind their respective successors and assigns.


SECTION 110. Separability Clause.




     In case any provision of this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby, and a Holder shall have no claim therefor against any
party hereto.


SECTION 111. Benefits of Indenture.




     Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar, or any Authenticating
Agent and their respective successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


SECTION 112. Governing Law.




     This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed and construed by and in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York, as applied to contracts made and performed within the State of
New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.


SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.




     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, the Stated Maturity of any
Security or any date upon which any Defaulted Interest is proposed to be paid shall not be a
Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture
or of the Securities) payment of interest, if any, or principal (and premium, if any) 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,
Redemption Date, at the Stated Maturity, or on the date for payment of Defaulted Interest, provided
that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption
Date, Stated Maturity or date for the payment of Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, to the
date of payment.


SECTION 114. Indenture and Securities Solely Corporate Obligations.




     No recourse for the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Security, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental
indenture, or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby,
shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or through the Company or
any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the
enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such
liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a consideration for,
the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the Securities.


SECTION 115. Consent of Holders of Securities in a Foreign Currency or Euros.




     Unless otherwise specified in a certificate delivered pursuant to Section 301 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 currency unit other than Dollars, 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 the stated Foreign Currency or Euro principal
amount of such Outstanding Securities at the Market Exchange Rate on the record date for the
purpose of taking such action. If the appropriate Market Exchange Rate is not available for any
reason with respect to such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without
liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or, in the case of
Euros, the rate of exchange as published in Journal, as of the most recent available date, or
quotations or, in the case of Euros, 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 or, in the case of Euros, in
Luxembourg or such other quotations or, in the case of Euros, rates of exchange as the Trustee,
upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. All decisions and



7









 






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 for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders.


SECTION 116. Payment Currency.




     If the principal of and/or interest on (or premium, if any, on) any Securities is payable in a
Foreign Currency or Euros and such Foreign Currency or Euros is not available for payment due to
the imposition of exchange controls or other circumstances beyond the control of the Company, then
the Company shall be entitled to satisfy its obligations to Holders under this Indenture by making
such payment in Dollars on the basis of the Market Exchange Rate for such Foreign Currency or Euros
on the latest date for which such rate was established on or before the date on which payment is
due. Any payment made under this Section in Dollars where the required payment is in a Foreign
Currency or Euros shall not constitute an Event of Default.

the Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.



     All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time, and may be issued from
time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or pursuant to the
Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate referred to above. However, the
authorized principal amount of any series may not be increased to provide for issuances of
additional Securities of such series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.


SECTION 302. Denominations.




     The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the absence of any such
provisions with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.


SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.




     The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of its Chairman of the
Board, its President, any Vice President, its Treasurer or its Secretary, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile.



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



     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver to the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent for authentication Securities of any
series executed by the Company, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery
of such Securities, and the Trustee or such Authenticating Agent in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If all the Securities of any series are not
to be issued at one time, and if the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental
indenture establishing such series shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures
acceptable to the Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and the determination of the terms of
particular Securities of such series such as interest rate, maturity date, date of issuance and
date from which interest shall accrue. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have
been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and
301, in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this
Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall receive, and (subject to Section 601)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,



     (a) if the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as
permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture; and



     (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution
as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity with the
provisions of this Indenture.



10









 





     If all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but such
Opinion of Counsel, with appropriate modifications, may instead be delivered at or prior to the
time of issuance of the first Security of such series.



     The Trustee or any Authenticating Agent shall have the right to authenticate and deliver any
of such Securities if it, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be
taken, or if it, its board of directors, trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of
directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine in good faith that such action would
expose it to personal liability to existing Holders or 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.



     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 or an Authenticating Agent by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture.


SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.




     Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and
upon Company Order the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent 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 officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.



     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 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.




     With respect to each series of Securities, the Company shall cause to be kept at one of the
offices or agencies maintained pursuant to Section 1002 a register (the register maintained in such
office and in any other office or agency established by the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes collectively 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 of that series and of transfers of Securities of that series. Pursuant to Section 301,
the Company shall appoint, with respect to Securities of each series, a “Security Registrar” for
the purpose of registering such Securities and transfers and exchanges of such Securities as herein
provided. In the event the Trustee shall not be Security Registrar, it shall have the right to
examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.



     Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at the designated
office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
or an Authenticating Agent shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee
or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and
of a like tenor, aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.



     At the option of the Holder, Securities of any series (except Global Securities) may be
exchanged for other Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like
tenor, aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at such office or agency and upon payment, if the Company shall so require, of the
charges hereinafter provided. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee or an Authenticating Agent 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.



     Every Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so
required by the Company or the Trustee or the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar (and, if so required by the Trustee, to the Trustee) 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 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.



11









 





     The Company shall not be required (i) 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 selection for redemption of Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section
1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of notice of redemption, or (ii)
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.


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




     If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) a mutilated Security or
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such
security or indemnity bond as may be determined in the reasonable judgment of the Company or the
Trustee, as the case may be, to protect the Company, the Trustee and any agent of either of them
from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced, 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 or an Authenticating Agent shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of like tenor, principal amount and Stated
Maturity 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, whether or not 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 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved; Optional Interest Reset.




     (a) Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 301, interest 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 registered 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 (1) or (2) below:



     (1) 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 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 l0 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 (2).



     (2) 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



12









 







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.



     (b) The provisions of this Section 307(b) may be made applicable to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 (with such modifications, additional or substitutions as may be specified
pursuant to such Section 301). The interest rate on any Security of such series may be reset by the
Company on the date or dates specified on the face of such Security (each an “Optional Reset
Date”). The Company may exercise such option with respect to a Security by notifying the Trustee of
all of the relevant information relating to such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days
prior to an Optional Reset Date, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section
106, to the Holder of any such Security a notice (the “Reset Notice”) indicating whether the
Company has elected to reset the interest rate, and if so (i) such new interest rate and (ii) the
provisions, if any, for redemption during the period from such Optional Reset Date to the next
Optional Reset Date or if there is no such next Optional Reset Date, to the Stated Maturity Date of
such Security (each such period a “Subsequent Interest Period”), including the date or dates on
which or the period or periods during which and the price or prices at which such redemption may
occur during the Subsequent Interest Period.



     Notwithstanding the foregoing, not later than 20 days prior to the Optional Reset Date, the
Company may, at its option, revoke the interest rate provided for in the Reset Notice and establish
a higher interest rate for the Subsequent Interest Period by causing the Trustee to transmit, in
the manner provided for in Section 106, notice of such higher interest rate to the Holder of such
Security. Such notice shall be irrevocable. All Securities with respect to which the interest rate
is reset on an Optional Reset Date will bear such higher interest rate.



     The Holder of any such Security will have the option to elect repayment by the Company of the
principal of such Security on each Optional Reset Date at a price equal to the principal amount
thereof plus interest accrued to such Optional Reset Date. In order to obtain repayment on an
Optional Reset Date, the Holder must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for
repayment at the option of Holders, as such apply to such Security, except that the period for
delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35 days prior to
such Optional Reset Date and except that, if the holder has tendered any Security for repayment
pursuant to the Reset Notice, the Holder may, by written notice to the Trustee, revoke such tender
or repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before such Optional Reset Date.



     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other
Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried
by such other Security.


SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.




     Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee,
any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and any other agent of the Company or the Trustee 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 premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307)
interest, if any, on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating
Agent nor any other agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.



     None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account
of beneficial ownership interests in a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with
respect to any Global Security, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent
of the Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by any Depositary, as a Holder, with respect to such Global Security or
impair, as between such Depositary and owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security, the
operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of such Global Security.


SECTION 309. 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 cancelled by it. The Company may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the
Trustee shall deliver a



13









 







certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless the Company by
Company Order shall direct that such cancelled Securities be returned to it.


SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.




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


SECTION 311. Global Securities.




     If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the Securities of a series are to
be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 303 and the Company Order with respect to
such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form
that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal
amount of the outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global
Securities, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or
Securities or the nominee of such depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such
Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially
to the following effect: “This Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture
hereinafter referred to, and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of the
Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the name of a Person other
than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited circumstances described in the Indenture,
and may be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a
nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.” The Trustee shall deal with the Depositary and its participants as representatives of
the Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities for purposes of exercising the rights of the Holders
hereunder and the rights of the Beneficial Owners of the Global Securities shall be limited to
those established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the Depositary and its
participants. Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to certificates for Global Securities as to
which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and votes of, such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Beneficial Owners.



     Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section or Section 305, unless and until it is
exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, 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, 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. The Beneficial
Owner’s ownership of Securities shall be recorded on the records of a participant of the Depositary
that maintains such Beneficial Owner’s account for such purpose and the participant’s record
ownership of such Securities shall be recorded on the records of the Depositary.



     If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time
the Depositary for Securities of a series ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company
shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor
Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after
the Company receives written notice or becomes aware of such condition, 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, with like
tenor and terms, in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security
or Securities.



     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 such
Global Security or Securities. In such event, 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, with like tenor and terms, in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.



     If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 301 with respect to Securities of a series,
the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of
Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such
terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge,



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



14









 





     (ii) to the 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 delivered to Holders thereof.



     Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security
shall be cancelled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to
this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect
participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to
the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.



     The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and otherwise authorize participants to give
or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
which a Holder is entitled to give or take under this Indenture.



     Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, payment of the principal of, and interest and premium, if any, on, any
Global Security shall be made to the Depository or its nominee in its capacity as the Holder
thereof. Further, the Company, the Trustee and any Authentication Agent shall treat a Person as the
Holder of such principal amount of outstanding Securities of any series represented by a Global
Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository (which may be in the form
of a participants’ list for such series) with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of
obtaining any consents, declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders
pursuant to this Indenture, provided, that until the Trustee is so provided with a written
statement, it may treat the Depository or any other Person in whose name a Global Security is
registered as the owner of such Global Security for all purposes, and none of the Company, the
Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


SECTION 312. Optional Extension of Maturity.




     The provisions of this Section may be made applicable to any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 301 (with such modifications, additions or substitutions as may be specified pursuant to
such Section 301). The Stated Maturity of any Security of such series may be extended at the option
of the Company for the period or periods specified on the face of such Security (each an “Extension
Period”) up to but not beyond the date (the “Final Maturity”) set forth on the face of such
Security. The Company may exercise such option with respect to any Security by notifying the
Trustee of such exercise at least 50 but not more than 60 days prior to the Stated Maturity of such
Security in effect prior to the exercise of such (the “Original Stated Maturity”). If the Company
exercises such option, the Trustee shall transmit, in the manner provided for in Section 106, to
the Holder of such Security not later than 40 days prior to the Original Stated Maturity a notice
(the “Extension Notice”) indicating (i) the election of the Company to extend the Maturity, (ii)
the new Stated Maturity Date, (iii) the interest rate applicable to the Extension Period and (iv)
the provisions, if any, for redemption during such Extension Period. Upon the Trustee’s transmittal
of the Extension Notice, the Stated Maturity Date of such Security shall be extended automatically
and, except as modified by the Extension Notice and as described in the next paragraph, such
Security will have the same terms as prior to the transmittal of such Notice.



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



     If the Company extends the Maturity of any Security, the Holder will have the option to elect
repayment of such Security by the Company on the Original Stated Maturity at a price equal to the
outstanding principal amount thereof, plus interest accrued to such date. In order to obtain
repayment on the Original Stated Maturity once the Company has extended the Maturity thereof, the
Holder of an Outstanding Security must follow the procedures set forth in Article Thirteen for
repayment at the option of Holders, as such applies to the Securities of such series, except that
the period for delivery or notification to the Trustee shall be at least 25 but not more than 35
days prior to the Original Stated Maturity and except that, if the Holder has tendered any Security
for repayment pursuant to an Extension Notice, the Holder may by written notice to the Trustee
revoke such tender for repayment until the close of business on the tenth day before the Original
Stated Maturity unless the Trustee has previously delivered repayment of such Security to such
Holder.


SECTION 313. CUSIP and ISIN Numbers.




     The Company in issuing the Securities may use one or more “CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if the Company does so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP number(s) and ISIN
numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, provided, that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP and
ISIN number(s) printed in the notice or on the Securities, and that reliance may be placed only on
the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and that any such redemption or
exchange shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of any such numbers.

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE



SECTION 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Securities of any Series.




     The Company shall be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the entire indebtedness on all
the Securities of any particular series and the Trustee, upon Company request and at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of such
indebtedness, when



     (1) either:



          (A) all Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i)
Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or
discharged from such trust, as provided in the last paragraph of Section 1003) have been delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation; or



          (B) with respect to all Outstanding Securities of such series described in (A) above not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,



     (i) The Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on all such Outstanding
Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the Stated Maturity
or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 403, as the case may be; or



     (ii) The Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as obligations in
trust such amount of direct obligations of, or obligations the principal of and interest on which
are fully guaranteed by, the United States of America (other than obligations subject to
prepayment, redemption or call prior to their stated maturity) as will, together with the
predetermined and certain income to accrue thereon (without consideration of any reinvestment
thereof), be sufficient to pay and discharge when due the entire indebtedness on all such
Outstanding Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the
Stated Maturity or any Redemption Date as contemplated by Section 403, as the case may be;



     (2) the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable with respect to the
Securities of such series;



     (3) the Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
satisfaction and discharge of the entire indebtedness on all Securities of such series have been
complied with; and



     (4) if the entire indebtedness on the Outstanding Securities of such series is to be satisfied
and discharged pursuant to Section 401(l)(B) above, then (i) the Company shall have specified the
applicability (as provided in Section 301) of this Section 401(4) to the Securities of such series,
(ii) the Company shall have given, not later than the date of such deposit, notice of such deposit
to the Holders of Securities of such series and (iii) the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of
Counsel (which Counsel shall be recognized tax counsel) stating that, (x) the Company has received
from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (y) since the date of this Indenture, there has been
a change in the applicable federal income tax law, including by means of a Revenue Ruling published
by the Internal Revenue Service, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion
of Counsel will confirm that the deposit of funds or obligations and the satisfaction and discharge
of indebtedness on the Securities of such series pursuant to this Section will not result in
recognition by the Holders of income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes (other than
income, gain or loss which would have been recognized in like amount and at a like time absent such
deposit, satisfaction and discharge), provided that the Company will be discharged from the
requirements of Article Eight if (i) it has satisfied all of the requirements for satisfaction and
discharge of the indebtedness on the Outstanding Securities pursuant to Section 401(1)(B) except
for the delivery of the Opinion of Counsel described above, and (ii) the Trustee shall have
received an Opinion of Counsel stating that the Holders will not recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit of such funds or obligations and will be
subject to federal tax in the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such deposit of funds or obligations had not occurred.



     Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Section with respect to all the
Securities of any series, the terms and conditions of such series, including the terms and
conditions with respect thereto set forth in this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or
applicable to, the Company, and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall look for payment
only to the funds or obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401(l)(B);
provided, however, that, in no event shall the Company be discharged (a) from any payment
obligations in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding under
clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to be valid obligations of the
Company under applicable law, (b) from any obligations under Section 607 or the last paragraph of
Section 1003, and (c) from any obligations under Section 305 and 306 (except that Securities of
such series issued upon registration of transfer or exchange or in lieu of mutilated, lost,
destroyed or stolen Securities shall not be obligations of the Company), and Section 701.



16









 




SECTION 402. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.




     Upon compliance by the Company with the provisions of Section 401 as to the satisfaction and
discharge of each series of Securities issued hereunder, this Indenture shall cease to be of any
further effect (except as otherwise provided herein). Upon Company Request (and at the expense of
the Company), the Trustee shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge
of this Indenture. In the event there are two or more Trustees hereunder, then the effectiveness of
any such instrument shall be conditioned upon receipt of such instruments from all Trustees
hereunder.



     Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, any obligations of the
Company under Sections 305, 306, 607 and 701 and the last paragraph of Section 1003, and of the
Trustee under Sections 403 and 613 and the last two paragraphs of Section 1003, shall survive.


SECTION 403. Application of Trust Money.




     Subject to the provisions of the last two paragraphs of Section 1003, all money and
obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held irrevocably in trust
and shall be made under the terms of an escrow trust agreement in form and substance satisfactory
to the Trustee. Such money and obligations shall be applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities, this Indenture and such escrow trust agreement, to the payment,
either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent)
as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest, if any, on the Securities for the payment of which such money and obligations
have been deposited with the Trustee (but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law). If Securities of any series are to be redeemed prior to their
Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or in accordance with any
mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall make such arrangements as are satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense,
of the Company.



ARTICLE FIVE

REMEDIES



SECTION 501. 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):



     (1) default in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes
due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or



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



     (3) default in the deposit of any sinking fund payment, when and as due by the terms of a
Security of that series; or



     (4) default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant or agreement of the Company in this
Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement 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 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



     (5) the Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

          (B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,



          (C) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its
property, or



          (D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or



     (6) a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:



17









 





          (A) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case;



          (B) appoints a Custodian of the Company or for all or substantially all of its property, or



          (C) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed and in
effect for 60 days.



     The term “Bankruptcy Law” means Title 11 of the U.S. Code or any similar Federal or State law
for the relief of debtors. The term “Custodian” means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator
or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.



     (7) any other Event of Default provided with respect to the Securities of that series pursuant
to Section 301 or in a supplemental indenture.


SECTION 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.




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



     Upon payment of such amount, all obligations of the Company in respect of the payment of
principal of the Securities of such series shall terminate.



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



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



          (A) all overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of that series,



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



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



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



     (2) 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 513.



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


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




     The Company covenants that if:



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



     (2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security
of any series at the Maturity thereof, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for
the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such series, the whole amount then due and payable on
Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal (and
premium, if any) and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates, if any, 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.




18












 





     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 504. 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 or the property of the Company or of such other
obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration of acceleration 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,



     (i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (or with respect to Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of
such Securities), 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



     (ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. Nothing herein contained shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder any plan of reorganization, 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.



SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.




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



SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected.




     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on
account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:



     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;



     SECOND: To the payment of all Senior Indebtedness if and to the extent required by Article
Fourteen or other subordination provisions applicable with respect to a series of Securities; and



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



     FOURTH: The balance, if any, to the Company, its successor or assigns or to whoever may be
lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.



19









 





SECTION 507. 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



     (1) An Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities
of that series and such Holder shall have previously given written notice thereof to the Trustee;



     (2) 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;



     (3) 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;



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



     (5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during
such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of 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 Holder or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holder or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series.




SECTION 508. 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
premium, if any) and (subject to Section 307) interest, if any, 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 509. 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.



SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.




     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306, 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
hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.



SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.




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



SECTION 512. Control by Holders.




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



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



20









 





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



     (3) such direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders, and



     (4) such direction would not involve the Trustee in personal liability.



SECTION 513. Waiver of Past Defaults.




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



     (1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any (subject to
the provisions of Section 502), on any Security of such series, or



     (2) 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 the Securities of such series
under this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair
any right consequent thereon.



SECTION 514. 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 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 at trial and on appeal, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses
made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the 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).



ARTICLE SIX

THE TRUSTEE




SECTION 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.




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



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



     (2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the
case of any such certificate or opinion which by any provision hereof is specifically required to
be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine
whether or not it conforms 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.



     (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



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



21









 





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



     (3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to
be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, as provided in Section 512, relating
to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to
the Securities of such series; and



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



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



SECTION 602. Notice of Defaults.




     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured
or waived; provided, however, that except in the case of a default in the payment of the principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any Security of such series, in the payment of any
sinking fund installment with respect to Securities of such series or in the payment of the
Redemption Price of any Securities as to which notice of redemption has been given, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the
executive committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of 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 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders
shall be given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both
would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.



SECTION 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.




     Subject to the provisions of Section 601:



     (a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;



     (b) any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced
by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board of Directors may be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;



     (c) whenever in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith
on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;



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



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



     (f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated
in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction,
consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document,
but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
or matters as it may see fit;



     (g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee shall not be
responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney, including any
Authenticating Agent, appointed with due care by it hereunder;



22









 





     (h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and
believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Indenture; and



     (i) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless either (1) a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee assigned to the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee (or any successor division or department of the Trustee) shall have actual knowledge
of the Event of Default or (2) written notice of such Event of Default shall have been given to the
Trustee by the Company, any other obligor on such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities.



SECTION 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.




     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except certificates of authentication,
shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the Company of Securities
or the proceeds thereof.



SECTION 605. May Hold Securities.




     The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, the Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company or the Trustee, in their individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 608 and 612, may otherwise deal with the
Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying
Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.



SECTION 606. Money Held in Trust.




     Money held by the Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying Agent shall be
subject to any liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise
agreed with the Company.



SECTION 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.




     The Company agrees:



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



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



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



     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the
Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal (or premium, if any)
or interest, if any, on Securities.



     The provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee or the
discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(5) or (6) the expenses are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The obligations of the Company under this Section shall
not be subordinated to the payment of Senior Indebtedness.



SECTION 608. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting Interests.




     This Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of Trust Indenture
Act Sections 310(a)(1), (2) and (5) in every respect. The Trustee (or in the case of a Trustee that
is a Person included in a bank holding company system, the related bank holding company) shall have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $100,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 310(b),
including the provision in Section 310(b)(1). In addition, if the Trustee is a Person included in a
bank holding company system, the Trustee, independently of such bank holding company, shall meet
the capital requirements of Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(2). If at any time the Trustee shall
cease to be



23









 







eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article.



SECTION 609. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.




     (a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee or Trustees in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 610.



     (b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by
notifying the Company in writing at least 90 days in advance of such resignation. If the instrument
of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 610 shall not have been delivered to the
Trustee within 60 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 the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request
therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months, the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series or, subject to Section 514, 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 removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee.



     (e) If at any time:



     (1) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security for at least six months, or



     (2) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent
or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation,


then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect
to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, 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.




     (f) 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 610. 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 610, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor
Trustee appointed by the Company with respect to such series. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of the
Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 610, 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.



     (g) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of any series by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage
prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in the
Security Register. 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 610. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.




     (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all series of
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such



24









 







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 due pursuant to Section 607,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring
Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder subject to the lien provided in Section 607.



     (b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1)
shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to
vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all series of
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 or
that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested
in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee
of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered
by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but,
on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or these 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 all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may
be.



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



SECTION 611. 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, 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 612. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.




     The Trustee shall comply with Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in Trust Indenture Act Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been
removed shall be subject to Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.



SECTION 613. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.




     At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate and deliver Securities of such series
with respect to which it has been so designated, and Securities so authenticated and delivered
shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.



     Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities
by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent and a
certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a bank or trust
company or corporation organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the
United States, 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 $100,000,000 and
subject to



25









 







supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia 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 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 with respect to one or more series of Securities 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 with respect to one or more series of
Securities 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.



     The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section. The provisions of Sections 104, 111, 603, 604 and
605 shall be applicable to any Authenticating Agent.



     Pursuant to each appointment made under this Section, the Securities of each series covered by
such appointment may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication,
an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:



     This is one of the Securities, of the series designated herein, issued under the
within-mentioned Indenture.



	 	 	 	 	 
	 	[                                         ]

 	 
	 	By:  	 	 
	 	 	as Authenticating Agent,

assume by a supplemental indenture executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, all of the obligations of the Company (including, without limitation,

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES




SECTION 901. Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.

hereto, in form satisfactory to the Trustee, for any of the following purposes:



     (1) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company and the assumption by any
such successor of the covenants of the Company herein and in the Securities; or



     (2) to add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series
of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit of less than all series of
Securities, stating that such covenants are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such
series) or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company; provided, however,
that in respect of any such additional covenant, such supplemental indenture may provide for a
particular period of grace after default in the performance of such covenant (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 default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default;
or



     (3) to add any additional Events of Default; or



     (4) add to or change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture to extent as shall
be necessary to permit or facilitate the issuance of Securities in bearer form, registrable or not

     (5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture, provided that any such
change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no Security Outstanding of any
series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture which is entitled to the
benefit of such provision; or



     (6) to secure the Securities; or



     (7) to establish the form or terms of Securities of any series as permitted by Sections 201

Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no

affected thereby,

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 modify the manner of determination of the
rate of interest thereon so as to affect adversely the interest of such Holder 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 502, 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



28









 





     (2) 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



     (3) modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1006, 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 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 and Section 1006, or the deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 610(b) and 901(8).

Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series
of Securities, or which 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.



     The Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any Securities would be affected by
any supplemental indenture and any such determination shall he conclusive upon the Holders of all
Securities of any series. The Trustee shall not be liable for any such determination made in good
faith.

an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture, when executed and delivered by
the Company, will constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company in accordance with its
terms. 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.

series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in
all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such
supplemental indenture, with respect to such series, shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms
and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

COVENANTS




SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.




     The Company covenants and agrees that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of each series in accordance with the

SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.




     The Company will cause to be maintained in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities
an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment,
where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the 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. With respect to the Securities
of any series such office or agency and each place of Payment shall
be as specified as contemplated in Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities of any series (i) the place of payment for such securities shall be the
Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York, and (ii) such office or agency in such Place of
Payment shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee therein. 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, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.



     The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or
outside the Borough of Manhattan, City of New York, New York) where the Securities of one or more
series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any
manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each place of
Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such
office or agency.



SECTION 1003. 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 premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the
benefit of the persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any)
or interest, if any, 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
will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, on
any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or interest, if any, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.



     The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee for any series of Securities
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:



     (1) hold all sums held by it as agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest, if any, 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;



     (2) give the Trustee written notice within three Business Days 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 premium, if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series; and



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



     The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same 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. Upon the satisfaction and discharge
of the indebtedness in respect of all Outstanding Securities of any series all sums then held by
any Paying Agent (other than the Trustee) in respect thereof shall, upon demand of the Company, be
repaid to it or paid to the Trustee, and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such money.



     The Trustee and any Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Company upon Company Request any
money or securities held by them at any time in excess of amounts necessary to satisfy amounts
payable to the Holders, the Trustee and the Paying Agent.



30









 





     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 premium, if any) or interest, if any, on any
Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if
any) or interest, if any, has become due and payable shall, unless otherwise required by mandatory
provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, 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, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of applicable
escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, 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 each Place of Payment with respect to Securities of such series, notice that such money remains
unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the
date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will, unless otherwise
required by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, be
repaid to the Company.



SECTION 1004. Corporate 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 corporate existence.



SECTION 1005. Statement as to Compliance.




     The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate which complies with Trust
Indenture Act Section 314(a)(4) and need not comply with Section 102, stating as to each signer
thereof that



     (1) a review of the activities of the Company during such year and of performance under this
Indenture has been made under his supervision, and



     (2) as of the end of such year and at the date of the certificate to the best of his
knowledge, based on such review, (a) the Company is not in default in the fulfillment of any of its
obligations under this Indenture, or specifying each such default known to him and the nature and
status thereof and (b) no event has occurred and is continuing which is or after notice or lapse of
time or both would become an Event of Default, or, if such an event has occurred and is continuing,
specifying each such event known to him and the nature and status thereof.



SECTION 1006. Waiver of Certain Covenants.




     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant or condition set
forth in Sections 1002 to 1005, each inclusive, or a supplemental indenture with respect to the
Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders,
either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant or
condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the
extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the
Company and the duties of the Trustee with respect to any such covenant or condition shall remain
in full force and effect.



ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES




SECTION 1101. 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 301
for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article.



SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.




     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by 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 45 days (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee) prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice, but not less
than 30 days, shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee in writing of such
Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the
case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an



31









 







Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. Any such
notice may be canceled at any time prior to notice of such redemption being mailed to any Holder,
and shall thereby be void and of no effect.



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




     If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected by the Trustee not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by such method
as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for
redemption of portions (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. In any
case where Securities of such series are registered in the same name, the Trustee in its discretion
may treat the aggregate
principal amount so registered as if it were represented by one Security of such series. If
the Securities of any series to be redeemed consist of Securities having different Stated
Maturities or different rates of interest (or methods of computing interest), 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 groups of such Securities having specified Stated Maturities or rates of
interest (or methods or computing interest) and the Trustee shall thereafter select the particular
Securities to be redeemed in the manner set forth above from among the groups of such Securities so
specified.



     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.



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



SECTION 1104. 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:



     (1) the Redemption Date,



     (2) the Redemption Price,



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



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



     (5) that on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price 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 unless the Company defaults in making the redemption payment,



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



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



     (8) the CUSIP number, if any, printed on the Securities being redeemed; and



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



     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. In the case of redemptions by the Company of Global Securities, the Company shall, at
least 30 days prior to the Redemption Date, notify the Depositary (with a copy to the Trustee) of
such redemption.



32









 





SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.




     On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) 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 1106. 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
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 Regular Record
Date according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.



     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 1107. 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, 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; provided, however, that the Depositary need not surrender
Global Securities for a partial redemption and may be authorized to make a notation on such Global
Security of such partial redemption. In the case of a partial redemption of the Global Securities,
the Depositary, and in turn, the participants in the Depositary, shall have the responsibility to
select any Securities to be redeemed by random lot.



ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS




SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.




     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of
Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 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 1202.
Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as
provided for by the terms of Securities of such series.



SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.




     The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect
to the Securities of any series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as
provided for by the terms of such series (1) deliver Outstanding Securities of such series (other
than any previously called for redemption) and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series
which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series
of Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Securities, in each case, 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.



33









 





SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.




     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities,
the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ 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 1202,
and the amount of any optional sinking fund payment to be added to the next ensuing sinking fund
payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. If such Officers’
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.
Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section
1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of
the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
1106 and 1107.



ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS




SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article.




     Securities of any series which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their
Stated Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The
repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require
repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not
operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee
with a directive that such Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained in this Section, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange
for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other
purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the
close of business on the repayment date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the
Company on repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment
price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is so paid by
such purchasers to the respective Holders thereof.



ARTICLE FOURTEEN

SUBORDINATION




SECTION 1401. Securities Subordinated to Senior Indebtedness.




     The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities by his acceptance thereof,
likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities and the payment of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities is hereby
expressly subordinated, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment
to the prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness.



     Anything in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding, the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be subordinate and junior in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, to all Senior Indebtedness. Senior Indebtedness
shall continue to be Senior Indebtedness and entitled to the benefits of these subordination
provisions irrespective of any amendment, modification or waiver of any term of Senior Indebtedness
or extension or renewal of Senior Indebtedness.



     (a) (i) In the event the Company shall default in the payment of any Senior Indebtedness when
the same becomes due and payable, whether at maturity or on a date fixed for prepayment or by
declaration or otherwise, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or
shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in cash, property or securities or by
set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on account of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on the Securities, or as a sinking fund for the Securities, or in respect of
any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Securities.



     (ii) Upon the happening of an event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness,
permitting the holders thereof to accelerate the maturity thereof (other than under circumstances
when the terms of subdivision (a)(i) are applicable), then, unless and until such event of default
shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no direct or indirect payment (in
cash, property or securities or by set-off or otherwise) shall be made or agreed to be made on
account of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, or as a sinking
fund for the Securities, or in respect of any redemption, retirement, purchase or other acquisition
of any of the Securities, during any period:



34









 





          (A) of 90 days after written notice of such default shall have been given to the Company by
any holder of Senior Indebtedness; or




          (B) in which any judicial proceeding shall be pending in respect of such default and a notice
of acceleration of the maturity of such Senior Indebtedness shall have been transmitted to the
Company in respect of such default.




     (b) In the event of



     (i) any insolvency, bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment,
composition or other similar proceeding relating to the Company, its creditors or its property,



     (ii) any proceeding for the liquidation, dissolution or other winding-up of the Company,
voluntary or involuntary, whether or not involving insolvency or bankruptcy proceedings,



     (iii) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of creditors, or



     (iv) any other marshalling of the assets of the Company,



     all Senior Indebtedness (including any interest accruing after the commencement of such
proceedings) shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution, whether in cash,
securities or other property, shall be made to any Holder of Securities on account of the
Securities. Any payment or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than
securities of the Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article
with respect to the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding
and to any securities issued in respect thereof under any such plan of reorganization or
readjustment), which would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Article) be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Securities shall be paid or delivered directly to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness in accordance with the priorities then existing among such holders until all
Senior Indebtedness (including any interest thereon accruing after the commencement of any such
proceedings) shall have been paid in full.



     (c) In the event that any Security shall be declared due and payable as the result of the
occurrence of any one or more defaults in respect thereof, under circumstances when the terms of
subparagraph (b) are not applicable, no payment shall be made in respect of any Securities unless
and until all Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid in full or such declaration and its
consequences shall have been rescinded and all such defaults shall have been remedied or waived.



     (d) If any payment or distribution of any character or any security, whether in cash,
securities or other property (other than securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which is subordinate, at
least to the extent provided in the provisions of this Article with respect to the Securities, to
the payment of all Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding and to any securities issued in
respect thereof under any such plan or reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by any
Holder of Securities in contravention of any terms hereof and before all the Senior Indebtedness
shall have been paid in full, such payment or distribution or security shall be received in trust
for the benefit of, and shall be paid over or delivered and transferred to, the holders of the
Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding, in accordance with the priorities then existing among
such holders for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, or, if
applicable, to any trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent
or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the Company, to the extent necessary to
pay all such Senior Indebtedness in full. In the event of the failure of any Holder of Securities
to endorse or assign any such payment, distribution or security, each holder of Senior Indebtedness
is hereby irrevocably authorized to endorse or assign the same.



     (e) Nothing contained herein shall impair, as between the Company and the Holder of any
Securities, the obligation of the Company to pay to the Holder thereof the principal thereof and
interest thereon as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of
such Security, or prevent the Holder of any Securities from exercising all rights, powers and
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law or pursuant to the terms of this Indenture and the
Security, upon a default or Event of Default under this Indenture, all subject to the rights of the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness to receive cash, securities or other property otherwise payable
or deliverable to the Holders of the Securities.



     (f) Senior Indebtedness shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless the holders
thereof shall have received cash equal to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness then outstanding.
Upon the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of Securities shall be subrogated
to all rights of any holders of Senior Indebtedness to receive any further payments or
distributions applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities shall
have been paid in full, and such payments or distributions received by the holders of the
Securities by reason of such subrogation, of cash, securities or other property which otherwise
would be paid or distributed to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, shall, as between the Company
and its creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, on the one hand, and the Holders
of Securities, on the other hand, be deemed to be a payment by the Company on account of Senior
Indebtedness and not on account of Securities.



35









 





     The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any insolvency, bankruptcy,
receivership, liquidation, reorganization, readjustment, composition or other similar proceeding
relating to the Company within the meaning of this Section. Upon any payment or distribution of
assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 601, and the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate of the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors or other liquidating agent
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for
the purpose of ascertaining the person entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable
thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or
to this Article.



     In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required
with respect to the right of any person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Section, the Trustee may request such person to furnish
evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held
by such person, as to the extent to which such person is entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such person under this Section, and
if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such person pending
judicial determination as to the right of such person to receive such payment.



SECTION 1402. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee.




     Each Holder of Securities, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs the Trustee in
his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate, as between the
Holders of the Securities and the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the subordination provided in
this Article and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.



SECTION 1403. Knowledge of Trustee.




     Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture, shall (a) prevent the
Company from setting aside in trust or depositing with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, at any
time, except during the pendency of any of the proceedings or upon the happening or continuance of
any of the events referred to in Section 1401, moneys for the payment of principal of, or premium,
if any, or interest on, the Securities, or (b) prevent the application by the Trustee or Paying
Agent of any moneys deposited with it hereunder by or on behalf of the Company to the payment of or
on account of the principal of, or the premium, if any, or interest on the Securities, if the
Trustee or the Paying Agent, as the case may be, did not have written notice of any event
prohibiting such application by the close of business on the Business Day immediately prior to the
date of such application.



     Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Indebtedness or of any
default or event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness or any fact or facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee, or the taking of any other
action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from
the Company, any Holder of Securities, any paying or conversion agent of the Company or the holder
or representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness who shall have been certified by the Company
or otherwise established to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee to be such holder or
representative or by the trustee under any indenture pursuant to which Senior Indebtedness shall be
outstanding.



SECTION 1404. Trustee’s Relation to Senior Indebtedness.




     The Trustee shall be entitled to all rights set forth in this Article with respect to any
Senior Indebtedness at the time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior
Indebtedness, and nothing in Section 612 or elsewhere in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee
of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article shall subordinate to Senior
Indebtedness the claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.



     With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to
observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article
and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any holder of
Senior Indebtedness if it shall pay over or deliver to Holders, the Company or any other Person
monies or assets to which any holder of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article or otherwise.



SECTION 1405. Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not Impaired.




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



     This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall
be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
