    SECTION
102.  Compliance Certificates and Opinions.

     

    Upon any
application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Indenture (including covenants, compliance with which constitute
conditions precedent) relating to the proposed action have been complied with
and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case
of any such application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

     

    Every
certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture (excluding certificates delivered pursuant to
Section 1010) shall include:

    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 as 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 such
matters in one or several documents.

     

    Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon an Opinion of Counsel, or a certificate or
representations by counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the opinion, certificate or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such Opinion of Counsel or certificate or representations may be
based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that
the information as to such factual matters is in the possession of the Company,
unless such counsel knows that the certificate or opinion or representations as
to such matters are erroneous.

     

    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 of the
Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more series, as the case may be,
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially
similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agents duly appointed in
writing. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities
of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of
Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, whether in person
or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of Securities
of such series duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article
Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and any such record. Except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments or record or both are delivered to the Trustee
and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or
instruments and any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent, or
of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose
of this Indenture and (subject to Section 612) conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of
Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

     

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

     

    (c)           The
ownership of Registered Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or
by a certificate of the Security Registrar.

     

    (d)           The
ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the production of such Bearer
Securities or by a certificate executed, as depository, by any trust company,
bank, banker or other depository, wherever situated,

     


    
      
         


      

      
        9

         


      

      
         


      

    


    if such
certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at
the date therein mentioned such person had on deposit with such depository, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer
Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit
bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced,
or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other
Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.
The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved in any other manner that
the Trustee deems sufficient.

     

    (e)           If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered Securities any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the
Company may, at its option, in or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance
a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA
Section 316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than the
date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in connection
therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is completed. If such a
record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but
only the Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the
requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be
computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed effective unless
it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later
than eleven months after the record date.

     

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

     

    SECTION
105.  Notices, etc.

     

    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, Attention: Corporate Trust Department,
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 it at the address of
its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this Indenture or at
any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the
Company.

     

    SECTION
106.  Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     

    Where
this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of Registered
Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each such 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 of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered
Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities
given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder,
whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        10

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

    Except as
otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with respect to any
Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture provides for
notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in the City of
Springfield, Missouri and in such other city or cities as may be specified in
such Securities, and if the Securities of such series are listed on any stock
exchange outside the United States, in any place at which such Securities are
listed on a securities exchange to the extent that such securities exchange so
requires, on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such
publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such
publication.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    SECTION
107.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

     

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

     

    SECTION
108.  Successors and Assigns.

     

    All
covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

     

    SECTION
109.  Separability Clause.

     

    In case
any provision in this Indenture or in any Security or coupon 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.

     

    SECTION 110.  Benefits of Indenture.

     

    Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities or coupons appertaining thereto, express
or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto, any
Security Registrar, any Paying Agent, any Authenticating Agent and their
successors hereunder (and, with respect to Article Seventeen, the holders of
Senior Debt) or the Holders any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

111.  No Personal Liability.

     

    No
recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this
Indenture, in any Security or coupon appertaining thereto, or because of any
indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or
against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such,
of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or
any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by
the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the
acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     

    SECTION
112.  Governing Law.

     

    This
Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York. This Indenture is subject to
the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this Indenture and
shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

     

    SECTION
113.  Legal Holidays.

     

    In any
case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking
fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security or the last date
on which a Holder has the right to convert or exchange a Security at a
particular conversion or exchange price shall not be a Business Day at any Place
of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any
Security or coupon other than a provision in the Securities of any series that
specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of
interest or any Additional Amounts or principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date,
conversion or exchange 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, Repayment Date or sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated
Maturity or Maturity or on such last day for conversion or exchange, provided
that no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund
payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity or on such last day for conversion or
exchange, as the case may be.

and related coupons of each series, shall be in substantially the forms as shall
be established in or pursuant to one or more indentures supplemental hereto or
Board Resolutions, shall have such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto, and may have such letters,

    SECTION
203.  Securities Issuable in Global Form.

     

    If
Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as specified as
contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (8) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall
represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and
that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented
thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges,
maturities or redemptions. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to
reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding
Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and
upon written instruction given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified
therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to
Section 303 or 304. Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if
applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any

given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company
Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has been, or
simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to
endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in
writing but need not comply with Section 102.

     

    The
provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any Security
represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and
sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Security in
global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with
regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence
of Section 303.

     

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

     

    Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the Trustee
shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities
represented by a permanent global Security (i) in the case of a permanent
global Security in registered form, the Holder of such permanent global Security
in registered form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in
bearer form, Euroclear or Clearstream.

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, so long as a series of Securities is a
Global Security, the parties hereto will be bound at all times by the procedures
of the applicable depositary with respect to such series.

and under what circumstances the Company will pay Additional Amounts as
contemplated by Section 1011 on the Securities of or within the series to
any Holder who is not a United States person (including any modification to the
definition of such term) in respect of any tax, assessment or governmental
charge and, if so, whether the Company will have the option to redeem such
Securities rather than pay such Additional Amounts (and the terms of any such
option);

     

    (22)           the
obligation, if any, of the Company to permit the Securities of such series to be

    (24)           any

Securities of any one series and the coupons appertaining to any Bearer
Securities of such series, if any, shall be substantially identical except, in
the case of Registered or Bearer Securities issued in global form, as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such
Board Resolution or in any indenture supplemental hereto. All Securities of any
one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided, a
series may be reopened, without the consent of the Holders, for issuances of
additional Securities of such series.

     

    If any of
the terms of the Securities of any series are established by action taken
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, a copy of an appropriate record of
such action(s) shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of
the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Company Order for authentication and delivery of such Securities.

     

    SECTION
302.  Denominations.

     

    The
Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 301. With respect to Securities of any
series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such
series, other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of
any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof.

     

    SECTION
303.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

     

    The
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its President or a Vice President, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons may be manual
or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officer and
may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        16

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

    At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any coupon
appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such
Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that, in connection
with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or otherwise
delivered to any location in the United States; and provided further that,
unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 301 a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its
original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer Security
shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may
be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other
certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier
of the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any
temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in
accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. Except
as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver
any Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured
have been detached and canceled.

     

    If all of
the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time and if the Board
Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series shall so permit,
such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the Trustee for the
issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of particular Securities
of such series, such as interest rate or formula, maturity date, date of
issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 612 and TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall
be fully protected in conclusively relying upon:

     

    (i)           an
Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 102 and stating
that:

     

    (a)           the
form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or will have been
upon compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     

    (b)           the
terms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or will have been upon
compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

     

    (c)           such
Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, when completed
pursuant to such procedures as may be specified therein, and executed and
delivered by the Company to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with
this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with
this Indenture and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any
conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid
and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their
terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement
of creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles and to such
other matters as may be specified therein; and

     

    (d)           the
issuance of such Securities and any coupons will not contravene the articles of
incorporation or bylaws of the Company or result in any violation of any of the
terms or provisions of any law or regulation or of any indenture, mortgage or
other agreement known to such counsel by which the Company is bound;
and

     

    (ii)           an
Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 102 and stating that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the issuance of
such Securities have been, or will have been upon compliance with such
procedures as may be specified therein, complied with and that, to the best of
the knowledge

     


    
      
         


      

      
        17

         


      

      
         


      

    


    of the
signers of such certificate, no Event of Default with respect to such Securities
shall have occurred and be continuing.

     

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

     

    The
Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties, obligations or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

     

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

     

    No
Security or coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under
this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on
such Security or the Security to which such coupon appertains a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein duly executed by
the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security
shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold
by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement
(which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued or sold by
the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
304.  Temporary Securities.

     

    (a)           Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute,
and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or
otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor
of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered
form, or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without
coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and
other variations as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may
determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In
the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global
form.

     

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

     

    (b)           Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301, this Section 304(b)
shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued in global form other
than through the facilities of DTC. If any such temporary Security is issued in
global form, then such temporary global Security shall, unless otherwise
provided

     


    
      
         


      

      
        18

         


      

      
         


      

    


    therein,
be delivered to the London, England office of a depository or common depository
(the “Common Depository”), for the benefit of Euroclear and
Clearstream.

     

    Without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or
determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary global Security (the
“Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive
Securities, in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of
such temporary global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
Exchange Date, such temporary global Security shall be surrendered by the Common
Depository to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be
exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities
without charge, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for
each portion of such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of or within the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global Security
to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in exchange for any
such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form,
permanent global bearer form or permanent global registered form, or any
combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by Section 301, and, if
any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner
thereof; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified in such temporary
global Security, upon such presentation by the Common Depository, such temporary
global Security is accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a
subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary
global Security, if any, held for its account then to be exchanged and a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear
or Clearstream as to the portion of such temporary global Security, if any, held
for its account then to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2
to this Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to
Section 301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall
be delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only in
compliance with the requirements of Section 303.

     

    Unless
otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the interest of a
beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary global Security shall
be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
following the Exchange Date when the account holder instructs Euroclear or
Clearstream, as the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and
delivers to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be, a certificate in the
form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other form as may be
established pursuant to Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior
to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the
offices of Euroclear or Clearstream, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
appointed for such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise
specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be made
free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security,
except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of
insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such Person takes
delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or
Clearstream. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be delivered in exchange
for any portion of a temporary global Security shall be delivered only outside
the United States.

     

    Until
exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor
authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global
Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring
prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear or
Clearstream on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear or
Clearstream to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set
forth in Exhibit A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be
established pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest
on or after such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who
are the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest
Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or Clearstream, as the
case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Interest
Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form set forth as
Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established
pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein
contained, the certifications made pursuant to this paragraph shall satisfy the
certification requirements of the preceding two paragraphs of this
Section 304(b) and of the third paragraph of Section 303 of this
Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of the
temporary global Security with respect to which such certification was made will
be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor on
the Exchange Date or the date of certification if such date occurs after the
Exchange Date, without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or interest owing
with respect to a

     


    
      
         


      

      
        19

         


      

      
         


      

    


    beneficial
interest in a temporary global Security will be made unless and until such
interest in such temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an
interest in a definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear or
Clearstream and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee
prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order
to be repaid to the Company.

     

    SECTION
305.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.

     

    The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or
in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a register for each
series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office or in any such
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it or the Security Registrar may prescribe, the
Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of
transfers of Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written
form or any other form capable of being converted into written form within a
reasonable time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered
Securities and transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as
herein provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security
Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all
reasonable times and to require that a copy of the Security Register in written
form be delivered to it from time to time as reasonably requested. Subject to
the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing
identical terms and provisions.

     

    Subject
to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the Holder,
Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical terms and
provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at any
such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities that the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any
series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer Securities may
not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

     

    If (but
only if) permitted as contemplated by Section 301, at the option of the
Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to
be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all
matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer
Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured
coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if the
Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company
in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the
Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may
require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the
Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing
coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder
shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however,
that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by
coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons
at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such
office or agency in a permitted exchange for a Registered Security of the same
series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on
(i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such
office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special
Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted
Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the Registered
Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only
to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions

     


    
      
         


      

      
        20

         


      

      
         


      

    


    of this
Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities
that the holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be exchangeable only as
provided in this paragraph. If the depository for any permanent global Security
is DTC, then, unless the terms of such global Security expressly permit such
global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for definitive Securities, a
global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to a nominee
of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC, or to a successor to DTC for such global
Security selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor
to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as depository for the applicable global Security or Securities or if
at any time DTC ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
if so required by applicable law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a
successor depository with respect to such global Security or Securities. If
(x) a successor depository for such global Security or Securities is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice
or becomes aware of such unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the beneficial owners
representing a majority in principal amount of the applicable series of
Securities represented by such global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease
acting as depository for such global Security or Securities or (z) the
Company, in its sole discretion, determines at any time that all Outstanding
Securities (but not less than all) of any series issued or issuable in the form
of one or more global Securities shall no longer be represented by such global
Security or Securities (provided, however, the Company may not make such
determination during the 40-day restricted period provided by Regulation S under
the Securities Act or during any other similar period during which the
Securities must be held in global form as may be required by the Securities
Act), then the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver definitive Securities of like series, rank, tenor and terms in
definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
of such global Security or Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in
a permanent global Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such an interest
for Securities of such series and of like tenor and principal amount of another
authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by
Section 301 and provided that any applicable notice provided in the
permanent global Security shall have been given, then without unnecessary delay
but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be
so exchanged, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver definitive Securities in aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent global
Security. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so
exchanged, such permanent global Security shall be surrendered for exchange by
DTC or such other depository as shall be specified in the Company Order with
respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose;
provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities to be
redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date if the Security for which
exchange is requested may be among those selected for redemption; and provided
further that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a
permanent global Security shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location
in the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any
portion of a permanent global Security after the close of business at the office
or agency where such exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest
Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of
Defaulted Interest, interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not
be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the
case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, only to
the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such permanent global
Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

     

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

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

     

    The
Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may be among
those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under
Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such
Securities are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of
the relevant notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable
as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities and
there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or
(ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any
Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for
redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered
Security of that series and like tenor, provided that such Registered Security
shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue or to
register the transfer or exchange of any Security that has been surrendered for
repayment, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so
repaid.

     

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

     

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

     

    If there
shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon, and
(ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of actual
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been
acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

     

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

     

    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 with its coupons, if any, issued pursuant to this Section
in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security
to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the

     


    
      
         


      

      
        22

         


      

      
         


      

    


    destroyed,
lost or stolen Security and its coupons, if any, or the destroyed, lost or
stolen coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled
to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of that series and their coupons, if any, duly issued
hereunder.

     

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

     

    SECTION
307.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered Security that is
payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment
Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest at the office or agency of the Company maintained
for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002; provided, however, that each
installment of interest on any Registered Security may at the Company’s option
be paid by (i) mailing a check for such interest, payable to or upon the
written order of the Person entitled thereto pursuant to Section 308, to
the address of such Person as it appears on the Security Register or
(ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee located inside the
United States.

     

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

     

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

     

    In case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a Registered
Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or agency in a
Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon
relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such
Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange
for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon
when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered Security of
any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the relevant Regular
Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause
(1) or (2) below:

     

    (1)           The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the
amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of
such series and the date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than
20 days after such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or prior
to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in
this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date
(herein called a “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less

     


    
      
         


      

      
        23

         


      

      
         


      

    


    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 Registered Securities of such
series at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment
of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been
mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).
In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency
in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of
such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special
Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the
related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of
payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of
payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in
accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

     

    (2)           The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities
of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements
of any securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such
notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after written 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 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.

     

    Subject
to the provisions of Section 1402 and except as otherwise specified with
respect to a series of Securities in accordance with the provisions of
Section 301, in the case of any Security that is converted or exchanged
after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest
Payment Date (other than any Security, the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
which shall become due and payable, whether at a Stated Maturity or by
declaration of acceleration, call for redemption, or otherwise, prior to such
Interest Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest
Payment Date shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such
conversion or exchange, and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or
duly provided for) 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
such Regular Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
immediately preceding sentence, in the case of any Security which is converted
or exchanged, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion or
exchange of such Security shall not be payable.

     

    SECTION
308.  Persons Deemed Owners.

     

    Prior to
due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on,
such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor
any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     

    Title to
any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall pass by delivery.
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any coupon as the absolute
owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or
on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any
agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        24

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

    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 depository, as a Holder, with respect to such global Security
or impair, as between such depository and owners of beneficial interests in such
global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of
the rights of such depository (or its nominee) as Holder of such global
Security.

     

    SECTION
309.  Cancellation.

     

    All
Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons and Securities and coupons
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly
canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
that the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to
the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder that the Company
has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly
canceled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so acquire any of the Securities,
however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the same are
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. Cancelled
Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee
and, if required in writing by the Company, the Trustee shall deliver a
certificate of such destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the
Company directs their return to it.

     

    SECTION
310.  Computation of Interest.

     

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

obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 611
and, if money shall have been deposited with and held by the Trustee pursuant to
subclause (B) of clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003,
shall survive.

event that there are Securities of two or more series outstanding hereunder, the
Trustee shall be required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to
Securities of a particular series as to which it is Trustee and if the other
conditions thereto are met.

    SECTION
502.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     

    If an
Event of Default under clause (5) or (6) of Section 501 with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then
and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each such affected
series (voting as a single class) may declare the principal (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, all the Securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or
specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.

     

    At any
time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any
series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money
due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided,
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
that series, by written notice to the 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 in the
currency, currency unit or composite currency in which the Securities of such
series is payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
for the Securities of such series):

     

    (A)           all
overdue installments of interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in
respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series and any related
coupons;

     

    (B)           the
principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Outstanding
Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates borne by
or provided for in such Securities;

     

    (C)           to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the rate or rates borne
by or provided for 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
nonpayment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on Securities of that series that 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 installment of interest or Additional Amounts, if
any, on any Security of any series and any related coupon when such interest or
Additional Amount 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on) any Security of any series at its Maturity, then the Company will, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole amount then due and
payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) and interest

     


    
      
         


      

      
        28

         


      

      
         


      

    


    and
Additional Amounts, with interest upon any overdue principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and, to the extent that payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable, upon any overdue installments of interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, at the rate or rates borne by or provided for in
such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel.

     

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

     

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

     

    SECTION
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 of any series
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company for the payment of overdue principal, premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any, 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, or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series, of principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, 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 of Securities of such series and coupons to make such payments to the
Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee
and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other amounts due
the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

     

    Nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or coupon
any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the
Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or coupon in
any such proceeding.

     

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

     

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

     


    
      
         


      

      
        29

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

    SECTION
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 or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon presentation of the
Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the notation thereon of
the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully
paid:

     

    FIRST:  To
the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under
Section 606,

     

    SECOND:  To
the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities and coupons
for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest and any
Additional Amounts payable, 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 aggregate amounts due and payable on such Securities and
coupons for principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest and
Additional Amounts, respectively, and

     

    THIRD:  To the payment of the
remainder, if any, to the Company.

     

    SECTION
507.  Limitation on Suits.

     

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

     

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

     

    (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 indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee 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 of such Holders, or to obtain or to seek to
obtain priority or preference over any other of such Holders or to enforce any
right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

SECTION 508.  Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal,
Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, Interest and Additional
Amounts.

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or coupon
shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of
the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and (subject to
Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of,
such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due dates expressed in
such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date)
and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights
shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

     

    SECTION
509.  Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

     

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

     

    SECTION
510.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     

    Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last paragraph of
Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

     

    SECTION
511.  Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     

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

     

    SECTION
512.  Control by Holders of Securities.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (3)           the
Trustee need not take any action that might involve it in personal liability or
be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities of such series not joining
therein (but the Trustee shall have no obligation as to the determination of
such undue prejudice).

    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 and any related coupons consent to the waiver of 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 or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect of any Security of such
series or any related coupons, 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 this Indenture; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

     

    SECTION
514.  Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.

     

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

     

    SECTION
515.  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 or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions
of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts
payable with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on or after
the Redemption Date).

days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and to the
extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), 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 or Make-Whole Amount,
if any) or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of
such series, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to
the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding
such notice if and so long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith
determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders
of the Securities and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the
case of any default or breach of the character specified in Section 501(4)
with respect to the Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 60 days after the

Trustee shall perform only such duties as are expressly undertaken by it to
perform under this Indenture and no implied covenants or obligations shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee;

     

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

     

    (3)           any
request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order (other than delivery of any
Security, together with any coupons appertaining thereto, to the Trustee for
authentication and delivery pursuant to Section 303 that shall be
sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

     

    (4)           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;

     

    (5)           the
Trustee may consult with counsel and as a condition to the taking, suffering or

satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;

investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of
action;

     

    


    (11)           
the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of

notice references the Securities and this Indenture;

    


    (12)           the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee,
including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and

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

604.  May Hold Securities.

     

    The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to Section 613 and
TIA Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar,
Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

     

    SECTION
605.  Money Held in Trust.

     

    Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no liability
for interest on, or investment of, any money received by it
hereunder.

     

    SECTION
606.  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, including extraordinary services rendered in
connection with or during the continuation of a default 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)           to
reimburse each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee upon its request for
all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except to the extent any such expense, disbursement or advance may be
attributable to its gross negligence or bad faith; and

     


    
      
         


      

      
        34

         


      

      
         


      

    


    (3)           to
indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee and each of their
respective directors, officers, agents and employees for, and to hold each of
them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts or the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder except to the extent any
such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its own gross negligence
or bad faith.

     

    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 of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

     

    When the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default described in Section 501(5) and (6), such expenses (including the
fees and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for such services are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy
Law.

     

    The provisions of this Section shall
survive the termination of this Indenture or the resignation or removal of the
Trustee.

     

    SECTION
607.  Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

     

    There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that shall be eligible to act as
Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 or is a subsidiary of a corporation that shall
be a Person that has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and
that unconditionally guarantees the obligations of the Trustee hereunder. If
such Trustee or Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal, State, Territorial or District
of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Trustee or Person shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article.

     

    SECTION
608.  Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     

    (a)           No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 609.

     

    (b)           The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If an instrument of
acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee
within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of
a successor Trustee.

     

    (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:

     

    (1)           the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 613 or TIA
Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least
six months, or

     

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

     


    
      
         


      

      
        35

         


      

      
         


      

    


    (3)           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 or pursuant to a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee
and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, or
(ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any Holder of a Security who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

     

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

     

    (f)           The Company shall give notice of each
resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of
Securities in Section 106. 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
609.  Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.

     

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

     

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

     


    
      
         


      

      
        36

         


      

      
         


      

    


    and
delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein and each
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or
any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

     

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

     

    (e)           All
monies due and owing to the Trustee shall be paid before the Successor Trustee
takes over.

     

    SECTION
610.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to
Business.

     

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

     

    SECTION
611.  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
that shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of transfer or
partial redemption or repayment thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in
writing signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which
instrument shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
reasonably acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided
pursuant to Section 301, 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 of America or of any State or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $25,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the
requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this 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. In case at any
time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        37

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

    An
Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time resign by
giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series and to the
Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time terminate the
agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to
such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent that shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of or within the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set
forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

     

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

     

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

     

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

    SECTION
612.  Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

     

    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
indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section.

     

    SECTION
613.  Conflicting Interests.

     

    If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
TIA, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent
and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the TIA and
this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this
Indenture with respect to Securities of more than one series. In case an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise such of its
rights and powers under the applicable Indenture and use the same degree of care
and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

MERGER, SALE, LEASE OR CONVEYANCE

     

    SECTION
801.  Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and
Conveyances Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions.

     

    The
Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or substantially all
of its assets to, or merge with or into any other Person, provided that in any
such case, (i) either the Company shall be the continuing entity, or the
successor (if other than the Company) entity shall be a Person organized and
existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof or the District
of Columbia and such successor entity shall expressly assume the due and
punctual payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)

otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this

of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and upon any such
assumption by the successor entity, such successor entity shall succeed to and
be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named
herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor entity, except in the
event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further obligation under this
Indenture and the Securities. Such successor entity thereupon may cause to be
signed, and may issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company, any

signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such
successor entity, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms,

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; or

     

    (3)           to
add any additional Events of Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or
any series of Securities (and if such Events of Default are to be for the
benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such Events of
Default are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series);
provided, however, that in respect of any such additional Events of Default such
supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after
default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of
other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or
may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit
the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or
those series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to
waive such default; or

     

    (4)           to
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to provide that Bearer

Interest on Bearer Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in
exchange for Registered Securities, to permit Bearer Securities to be issued in
exchange for Bearer Securities of other authorized denominations or to permit or
facilitate the issuance of Securities in uncertificated form, provided that any
such action shall not adversely affect the interests of the Holders of
Securities of any series or any related coupons in any material respect;
or

     

    (5)           to
add to, change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture in respect
of any series of Securities, provided that any such addition, change or
elimination shall (i) neither (A) apply to any Security of any series
created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture and entitled to
the benefit of such provision, nor (B) modify the rights of the Holder of
any such Security with respect to such provision; or (ii) become effective
only when there is no Security Outstanding; or

     

    (6)           to
secure the Securities; or

     

    (7)           to
establish the form or terms of Securities of any series and any related coupons
as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, including the provisions and procedures
relating to Securities convertible into or exchangeable for other securities or
property of the Company; or

     

    (8)           to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series and to add to or
change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide

provided that in each case, such provisions shall not adversely affect the
interests of the Holders of Securities of any series or any related coupons in
any material respect; or

     

    (10)           to
close this Indenture with respect to the authentication and delivery of
additional series of Securities or to qualify, or maintain qualification of,
this Indenture under the TIA; or

     

    (11)           to supplement any of the provisions of
this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to Sections 401,
1402 and 1403; provided in each case that any such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series and any related
coupons or any other series of Securities in any material
respect.

     

    SECTION
902.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Holders.

     

    The
Company and the Trustee may (i) amend or supplement this Indenture or the
Securities without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of all series
then outstanding may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this
Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder. The Holders of
a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series then outstanding
may waive compliance with any provision of this Indenture, any Supplemental
Indenture or the Securities of that series with regard to the Securities of that
series without notice to any Securityholder. However, without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby, no amendment, supplement
or waiver may:

     

    (1)           change
the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any, on) or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security; or
reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate or amount of interest thereon or
any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof, or any premium or Make-Whole
Amount payable upon the redemption thereof, or change any obligation of the
Company to pay Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1011 (except as
contemplated by Section 801(i) and permitted by Section 901(1)), or
reduce the amount of the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the amount
thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or change any Place
of Payment where, or the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which, the principal of any Security or any
premium or Make-Whole Amount or any Additional Amounts payable in respect
thereof 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 or repayment at the option of the Holder,
on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may be);
or

     

    (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 with respect to such
series (or compliance with certain provisions of this Indenture or certain
defaults hereunder and their consequences) provided for in this Indenture or, or
reduce the requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or voting; or

     

    (3)           modify
any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1012,
except to increase the required percentage to effect such action 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;
or

     

    (4)           make
any change that adversely affects the right to convert or exchange any Security
pursuant to Section 301 or decrease the conversion or exchange rate or
increase the conversion or exchange price of any such Security.

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

     

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

     

    SECTION
903.  Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     

    In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel and an Officers’
Certificate stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture and that all conditions precedent to
the execution of such supplemental indenture have been complied with. The
Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental
indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

     

    SECTION
904.  Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     

    Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall
be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form
a part of this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities

    Securities
of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by
the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter

executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

    SECTION
1001.  Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any,
Interest and Additional Amounts.

     

    The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on and any Additional Amounts payable in
respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of such
series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
any series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional Amounts payable
in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other than Additional
Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1011 in respect of
principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) such a Security,
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons for
such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature.
Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series pursuant to
Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of principal may be
paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered Security or other
person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.

     

    SECTION
1002.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.

     

    If
Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company
shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office
or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment or conversion, 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. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the
Company will maintain: (A) in the City of Springfield, Missouri, an office
or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment or conversion, where any Registered Securities of that
series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented or surrendered for payment or conversion in the circumstances
described in the following paragraph (and not otherwise); (B) subject to
any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that
series that is located outside the United States, an office or agency where
Securities of that series and related coupons may be presented and surrendered
for payment (including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Securities
of that series pursuant to Section 1011) or conversion; provided, however,
that if the Securities of that series are listed on the Luxembourg Stock
Exchange, The International Stock Exchange or any other stock exchange located
outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company
will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in Luxembourg,
London, England or any other required city located outside the United States, as
the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on such
exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in
each Place of Payment for that series located outside the United States an
office or agency where any Securities of that series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for
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 each such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail
to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to furnish the
Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional
Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 1011) at the offices specified in the Security, in London, England,
and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the Company hereby appoints
the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

     

    Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301,
no payment of principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on or Additional
Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of
the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United
States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United
States; provided, however, that, if the

    Securities
of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and
interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts or Make-Whole
Amount payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1011) shall
be made at the office of the Company’s Paying Agent in the City of Springfield,
Missouri, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such
principal, premium, interest, Additional Amounts or Make-Whole Amount, as the
case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for
the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or
effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar
restrictions.

     

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

     

    Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301,
if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a
Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long
as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company
will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required,
at least one exchange rate agent.

     

    SECTION
1003.  Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

     

    If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series
of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date
of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest on
or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of that series,
segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency
or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest or Additional Amounts 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
and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of
(and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest on or Additional Amounts
in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum
(in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts, so
becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest or Additional
Amounts 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 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 for the payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on Securities or Additional Amounts 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 of any default by the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of principal (and premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts;
and

     


    
      
         


      

      
        45

         


      

      
         


      

    


    (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
sums.

     

    Except as
otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money deposited with the
Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of any series
and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security,
without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, 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 an Authorized Newspaper,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the
Company.

     

    SECTION
1004.  [Reserved].

     

    SECTION

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

     

    SECTION
1006.  Maintenance of Properties.

     

    The Company will cause all of its
material properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the
business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair
and working order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be
made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements
thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the
business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously
conducted at all times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from selling or otherwise disposing of its
properties in the ordinary course of its business.

     

    SECTION
1007.  Insurance.

     

    The
Company will, and will cause each of its Subsidiaries to, keep all its insurable

responsibility.

     

    SECTION
1008.  Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

     

    The
Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same
shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental
charges levied or imposed upon it or any Subsidiary or upon

     


    
      
         


      

      
        46

         


      

      
         


      

    


    the
income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all
lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies that, if unpaid, might by law
become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

     

    SECTION

                  (a)
The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee, within 15 days after
the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the
annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of
such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to time by
rules and regulations prescribe) that the Company may be required to file with
the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
provided that, if the Company is not required to file information, documents or

the Commission, as the case may be, only such other information, if any, as may
be required pursuant to Section 1009(b) below.

     

     

                (b)
The Company covenants and agrees to file with the Trustee and the Commission, in
accordance with the rules and regulations prescribed from to time by the
Commission, such additional information, documents and reports, if any,

covenants provided for in this Indenture, as may be required from time to time
by such rules and regulations.

     

    (c)  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company’s obligations under this Section 1009 shall be deemed
satisfied, and no further filing with or delivery to the Trustee of copies of
such information, documents or reports shall be required, to the extent the
Company has filed such information, documents or reports with the Commission via
the Electronic Data Gathering and Retrieval (EDGAR) or any successor
system.

     

    SECTION
1010.  Statement as to Compliance.

     

    The
Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of each fiscal
year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her knowledge of
the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture
and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such noncompliance and the
nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section 1010, such

requirement of notice under this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
1011.  Additional Amounts.

     

    If any
Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, the
Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any coupon
appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context
except in the case of Section 502(1), the payment of the principal of or
any premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of
any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds received on the
sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to
include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the terms of
such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such
context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
(if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding
Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not
made.

     

    Except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, if the Securities of a series provide for the
payment of Additional Amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest
Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities (or if the Securities of
that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a
payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to
each date of payment of principal and any premium or Make-Whole Amount or
interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in
the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee
and the Company’s principal Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the
Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying
Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of principal of and any premium or
interest on the Securities

    of that series shall be made to Holders
of Securities of that series or any related coupons who are not United States
persons without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other
governmental charge described in the Securities of or within the series. If any
such withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall
specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments
to such Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company
will pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts, if any,
required by the terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, as the case may be, shall not so receive the above mentioned
certificate, then the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to
assume that no such withholding or deduction is required with respect to any
payment of principal or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or
related coupons until it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise
and (ii) to make all payments of principal and interest with respect to the
Securities of a series or related coupons without withholding or deductions
until otherwise advised. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any
Paying Agent and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents for,
and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense (including but
not limited to legal fees and expenses) reasonably incurred without gross
negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with
actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’ Certificate
furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on the Company’s not
furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate.

     

    SECTION
1012.  Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     

    The
Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in Sections 1005 to 1009, inclusive, and with any other
term, provision or condition with respect to the Securities of any series
specified in accordance with Section 301 (except any such term, provision
or condition that could not be amended without the consent of all Holders of
Securities of such series pursuant to Section 902), if before or after the
time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount
of all outstanding Securities of such series, 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 in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in
full force and effect.

    REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES

     

    SECTION
1101.  Applicability of Article.

     

    Securities
of any series that 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 or
pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at
least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in
Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee), notify the Trustee, in writing, of such Redemption Date, of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and of the
Redemption Price of such Securities and any accrued interest and Additional
Amounts payable with respect thereto, if any, on the Redemption Date. In the
case of any redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction
on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
and Opinion of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction.

     

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

     

    If less
than all the Securities of any series issued with the same terms are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series issued on such date with the same terms not previously
called for

     


    
      
         


      

      
        48

         


      

      
         


      

    


    redemption,
by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and that 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.

     

    If any
Security selected for partial redemption is converted in part before termination
of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the portion of the Security
so selected, the converted or exchanged portion of such Security shall be deemed
(so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption. Securities that
have been converted or exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed
shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such
selection. In any case where more than one Security is 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.

     

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

     

    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
that has been or is to be redeemed.

     

    SECTION
1104.  Notice of Redemption.

     

    Notice of
redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less
than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established pursuant to
Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but failure to
give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any Security
designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to
any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.

     

    Any
notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether
or not the Holder receives the notice.

     

    All
notices of redemption shall state:

     

    (1)           the
Redemption Date;

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     


    
      
         


      

      
        49

         


      

      
         


      

    


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

     

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

     

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

     

    (10)           the
CUSIP number of such Security, if any, provided that neither the Company nor the
Trustee shall have any responsibility for any such CUSIP number;

     

    (11)           if
applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert or exchange
Securities to be redeemed must satisfy the requirements for conversion or
exchange contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion or exchange
price or rate and the date and time when the option to convert or exchange shall
expire and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for
conversion or exchange; and

     

    (12)           such
other information as the Trustee reasonably deems appropriate.

     

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

     

    SECTION
1105.  Deposit of Redemption Price.

     

    On or
prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with
a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, which it
may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article Twelve, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the
currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or
currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable (except as
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such
series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of, and
(except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof that 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 in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest and Additional
Amounts payable with respect thereto, if any, on the Redemption Date), and from
and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest and Additional Amounts, if any) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with
all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date,
such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest and Additional Amounts payable with respect thereto, if
any, on the Redemption Date; provided, however, that installments of interest on
Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date
shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
(except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and
surrender of coupons for such interest; and provided further that except as
otherwise provided with respect to Securities convertible or exchangeable into
other securities or property (including securities of other issuers, provided
that such securities are registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act
and such issuer is then eligible to use Form S-3 (or any successor form) for a
primary offering of its securities) of the Company,

     


    
      
         


      

      
        50

         


      

      
         


      

    


    installments
of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of
Section 307.

     

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

     

    SECTION
1107.  Securities Redeemed in Part.

     

    Any
Security that is to be redeemed only in part (pursuant to the provisions of this
Article or of Article Twelve) 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.

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

     

    SECTION
1202.  Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities.

     

    The
Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to the Securities of a series, (1) deliver Outstanding
Securities of such series (other than any previously called for redemption)
together in the case of any Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured
coupons appertaining thereto and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such
series that have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to
the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, as provided for
by the terms of such Securities, or which have otherwise been acquired by the
Company; provided that such Securities so delivered or applied as a credit have
not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited
for such purpose by the Trustee at the applicable Redemption Price specified in
such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the
amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

    SECTION
1203.  Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     

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

    DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     

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

     

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

     

    SECTION
1402.  Defeasance and Discharge.

     

    Upon the
Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect
to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have
been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in
Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose,
such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405 and the other Sections
of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) below, and to
have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following that shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto when
such payments are due, (B) the Company’s obligations with respect to such
Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the
payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities as contemplated by
Section 1011, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and

     


    
      
         


      

      
        52

         


      

      
         


      

    


    immunities
of the Trustee hereunder including but not limited to Section 606 hereof
and (D) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article Fourteen, the
Company may exercise its option under this Section notwithstanding the prior
exercise of its option under Section 1403 with respect to such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto.

     

    SECTION
1403.  Covenant Defeasance.

     

    Upon the
Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section with respect
to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its
obligations under Sections 1005 to 1009, inclusive, and, if specified pursuant
to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant, with respect to
such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied
(hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding” for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Sections 1005 to 1009,
inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding”
for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant defeasance
means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or such other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by
reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(4) or 501(7)
or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
be unaffected thereby.

     

    SECTION
1404.  Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     

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

     

    (a)           The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto,
(1) an amount in such currency, currencies or currency unit in which such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at
Stated Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
Securities and coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the
currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons
appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity) that
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and interest and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof in
an amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such
principal and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and that shall be applied by the
Trustee to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or
installment of principal or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and
payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto; provided, that the Trustee shall have been
irrevocably instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government
Obligations to said payments with respect to such Securities. Before such a
deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with
Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any portion
of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance with the terms of
the Securities of such series and Article Eleven hereof, which notice shall be
irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption notice, if given, shall be given effect
in applying the foregoing.

     

    (b)           Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound (and shall
not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest pursuant to
Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect to any Security of the
Company).

     


    
      
         


      

      
        53

         


      

      
         


      

    


     

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (g)           After
the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally.

     

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

     

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

     

    Subject

otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to Section 301,
if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(a) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made

deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been made in respect of such
Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or
currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(a) has been
made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and
satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due
and Additional Amounts, if any, out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from
time to time as specified below in the case of any such election) the
amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security into the currency
or currency unit in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such
election or Conversion Event based on the applicable market exchange rate for
such currency or currency unit in effect on the second Business Day prior to
each payment date, except, with respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency
or currency unit in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion
Event.

     

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

     

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

to time pursuant to this Article to make, give or take any request, demand,

this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders of Securities of such
series.

    SECTION
1503.  Persons Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

     

    To be
entitled to vote at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person
shall be (1) a Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series,
or (2) a Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder
or Holders of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder
or Holders. The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at
any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled
to vote at such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee
and its counsel and any representatives of the Company and its
counsel.

     

    SECTION
1504.  Quorum; Action.

     

    The
Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of
Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken
at such meeting with respect to a consent or waiver which this Indenture
expressly provides may be given by the Holders of not less than a specified
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the
Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence
of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting, the
meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a
period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any such
adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a period
of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to
the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening of any
adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1502(a), except
that such notice need be given only once not less than five (5) days prior
to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the
reconvening of any adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as
provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series which shall constitute a quorum. Except as limited by the proviso to
Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting
duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the
affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series; provided, however, that, except as
limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with respect to any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by
the Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a
meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is present
as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified percentage
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series.

     

    Any
resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of
any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the
Holders of Securities of such series and the related coupons, whether or not
present or represented at the meeting.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing provisions of this Section 1504, if any action is to be taken
at a meeting of Holders of Securities of any series with respect to any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action that
this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of
a specified percentage in principal amount of all Outstanding Securities
affected thereby, or of the Holders of such series and one or more additional
series:

     

    (i)           there
shall be no minimum quorum requirement for such meeting; and

     

    (ii)           the
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series that vote in favor
of such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action shall be taken into account in determining whether such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action has
been made, given or taken under this Indenture.

    SECTION
1505.  Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of
Meetings.

     

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

     

    (b)           The
Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders
of Securities as provided in Section 1502(b), in which case the Company or
the Holders of Securities of or within the series calling the meeting, as the
case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent
chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of
the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

     

    (c)           At
any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled
to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be
cast or counted at any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not
Outstanding and ruled by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The
chairman of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a
Security of such series or proxy.

     

    (d)           Any
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to
Section 1502 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to
time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting, and the
meeting may be held as so adjourned without further notice.

     

    SECTION
1506.  Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

     

    The vote
upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any
series shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures
of the Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy
and the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of
such series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting
shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the
meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings
of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original
reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and
affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting forth a
copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as
provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and
secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company and
another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have
attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and
verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein
stated.

     

    SECTION
1507.  Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

     

    Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified percentage
in principal amount of the Holders of any or all series may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such specified

     


    
      
         


      

      
        57

         


      

      
         


      

    


    percentage
of 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. Proof of execution
of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Article Six) conclusive in
favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Article.

     

    SECTION
1508.  Proof of Execution of Instruments.

     

    Subject
to Article Six, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his agent or
proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as
may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to
the Trustee.

     

    ARTICLE
SIXTEEN

    [RESERVED]

     

    ARTICLE
SEVENTEEN

    SUBORDINATION

     

    SECTION
1701.  Agreement to Subordinate.

     

    Except as
otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 301,
the Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to
the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the benefit of the
holders of Senior Debt.

     

    SECTION
1702.  Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

     

    Upon any
distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or dissolution of the
Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

     

    (1)           holders
of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in full in cash of the
principal of and interest (including interest accruing after the commencement of
any such proceeding) to the date of payment on the Senior Debt before Holders
shall be entitled to receive any payment of principal of or interest on the
Securities;

     

    (2)           until
the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution to which Holders would
be entitled but for this Article shall be made to holders of Senior Debt as
their interests may appear, except that Holders may receive securities that are
subordinated to Senior Debt to at least the same extent as the Securities;
and

     

    (3)           the Trustee is entitled to conclusively
rely upon an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction or a
certificate of a bankruptcy trustee or other similar official for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the
holders of Senior Debt and other Company debt, the amount thereof or payable
thereon and all other pertinent facts relating to the Trustee’s obligations
under this Article Seventeen.

     

    SECTION
1703.  Default on Senior Debt.

     

    The
Company may not pay principal of or interest on the Securities and may not
acquire any Securities for cash or property other than capital stock of the
Company if:

     

    (1)           a
default on Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that permits holders of such
Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and

     

    (2)           the
default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company receives a notice
of the default from a person who may give it pursuant to Section 1711. If
the Company receives any such notice, a similar notice received within nine
months thereafter relating to the same default on the same issue of Senior Debt
shall not be effective for purposes of this Section.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        58

         


      

      
         


      

    


     

     

    The Company may resume payments on the
Securities and may acquire them when:

     

    (a)           the default is cured or waived,
or

     

    (b)           120
days pass after the notice is given if the default is not the subject of
judicial proceedings if this Article otherwise permits the payment or
acquisition at that time.

     

    SECTION
1704.  Acceleration of Securities.

     

    If
payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the
Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration. The
Company may pay the Securities when 120 days pass after the acceleration occurs
if this Article permits the payment at that time.

     

    SECTION
1705.  When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

     

    If a
distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article should not have
been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold it in
trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as their interests may
appear.

     

    SECTION
1706.  Notice by Company.

     

    The
Company shall promptly notify the Trustee, in writing, and any Paying Agent of
any facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of principal of or
interest on Securities to violate this Article.

     

    SECTION
1707.  Subrogation.

     

    After all
Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in full, Holders
shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive
distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that distributions
otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment of Senior
Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior Debt which
otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the Company and
Holders, a payment by the Company on Senior Debt.

     

    SECTION
1708.  Relative Rights.

     

    This
Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior Debt.
Nothing in this Indenture shall:

     

    (1)           impair,
as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and interest on the Securities
in accordance with their terms;

     

    (2)           affect
the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the Company other than holders
of Senior Debt; or

     

    (3)           prevent
the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available remedies upon an Event
of Default, subject to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to receive
distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

     

    If the Company fails because of this
Article to pay principal of or interest on a Security on the due date, the
failure is still a default.

     


    
      
         


      

      
        59

         


      

      
         


      

    


    SECTION
1709.  Subordination May Not Be Impaired By Company.

     

    No right
of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the indebtedness
evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or failure to act by
the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

     

    SECTION
1710.  Distribution or Notice to Representative.

     

    Whenever
a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Debt, the
distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative.

     

    SECTION
1711.  Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

     

    The
Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the Securities
until a Responsible Officer receives written notice of facts that would cause a
payment of principal of or interest on the Securities to violate this Article.
Only the Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior Debt that
has no Representative may give the written notice.

     

    The
Trustee has no duty to the holders of Senior Debt other than as created under
this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold
Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

     

    The
Company’s obligation to pay, and the Company’s payment of, the amounts required
by Section 606 are excluded from the operation of this Article
Seventeen.

     

    This Indenture 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 Indenture.
