      SECTION
2.03  DENOMINATIONS: PROVISIONS FOR PAYMENT.

       

      The
Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations
of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject
to Section 2.01(11). The Securities of a particular series shall bear interest
payable on the dates and at the rates specified or provided for with respect to
that series. Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(18), the principal of and
the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any premium thereon in
case of redemption thereof prior to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or
currency of the United States of America that at the time is legal tender for
public and private debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in [_____________]; provided, however, that at the option of the
Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register.
Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.
Except as contemplated by Section 2.01(4), interest on the Securities shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months. Except
as contemplated by Section 2.01(5), the interest installment on any Security
that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose
name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In
the event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called
for redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date
with respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment
Date, interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of
such Security as provided in Section 3.03. Any interest on any Security that is
payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest
Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called “Defaulted
Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the
relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in
clause (1) or clause (2) below:

      
         

        
          
            
            

          

          
            6

            
              

            

          

          
            
            

          

        

      

       

      (1)         The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Securities (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 such Security and the date of the proposed payment,
and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of
money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for
such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when
deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a
special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall not
be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment
and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the
proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such special
record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause
notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the special record
date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder
at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter
defined), 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 such Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered on such special record date.

       

      (2)         The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any Securities in any
other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee
of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such manner of payment shall be
deemed practicable by the Trustee. Unless otherwise set forth in a Board
Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms
of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular
record date” as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities with
respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the
fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest
Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall
occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the last
day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment
Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if
such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such
date is a Business Day. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section,
each Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such
other Security.

       

      SECTION
2.04  EXECUTION AND AUTHENTICATION.

       

      The
Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its President, or one of
its Vice Presidents, or its Treasurer, or one of its Assistant Treasurers,
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be
in the form of a manual or facsimile signature. The Company may use the
facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been a President or Vice
President thereof, or of any Person who shall have been the Treasurer, an
Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary thereof,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be the President
or a Vice President, or the Treasurer, an Assistant Treasurer, the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary, of the Company. The Securities may contain such
notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an
authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence and the only evidence that the Security
so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that
the Holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. At any time and from
time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a written order of the Company for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its President or any
Vice President and its Secretary or any Assistant Secretary, and the Trustee in
accordance with such written order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. 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 7.01) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form and
terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture and that such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions
specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding
obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject
to any Bankruptcy Law or other insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization,
moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
creditors’ rights and to general equity principles and to other customary
exceptions. The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if
the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this
Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

      SECTION
2.05  REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.

       

      (a)      Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or agency
of the Company designated for such purpose in [_____________], for other
Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate
principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In
respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver
in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same series that the
Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers
not contemporaneously outstanding.

       

      (b)      The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for
such purpose in [_____________], or such other location designated by the
Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security Register”)
in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this
Article provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for inspection
by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by
Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”). Upon surrender for transfer of any
Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such purpose, the
Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency
shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or
Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a like aggregate
principal amount. All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or
registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if
so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security
Registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Holder’s duly
authorized attorney in writing.

       

      (c)      No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of
Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any
series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant
to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the
transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all
the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption.
The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security,
subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

       

      SECTION
2.06  TEMPORARY SECURITIES.

       

      Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute,
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed,
lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized denomination. Such temporary
Securities shall be substantially in the form of the definitive Securities in
lieu of which they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be
determined by the Company. Every temporary Security of any series shall be
executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same
conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the
definitive Securities of such series. Without unnecessary delay the Company will
execute and will furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any
or all temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange
therefor (without charge to the Holders), at the office or agency of the Company
designated for the purpose in [_____________], and the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such
temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect
that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further
notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such
series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          8

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      SECTION
2.07  MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES.

       

      In case
any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed,
lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall
execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so
destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted
Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity
as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of
destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company and
the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may
authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written
request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon the issuance of any
substituted Security, 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. In case any Security that has matured or is about to mature
shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead
of issuing a substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same
(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the
applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and, in case of
destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the
Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership
thereof. Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found
at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be
held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are
exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all
other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or
hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of
negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender.

       

      SECTION
2.08  CANCELLATION.

       

      All
Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or
registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying
agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu
thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of
this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee. In
the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in
accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition
to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise 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
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

       

      SECTION
2.09  BENEFITS OF INDENTURE.

       

      Nothing
in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be
construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and the Holders
of the Securities (and, with respect to the provisions of Article XIV, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or
provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions being
for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the Holders of the Securities
(and, with respect to the provisions of Article XIV, the holder of Senior
Indebtedness).

       

      SECTION
2.10  AUTHENTICATING AGENT.

       

      So long
as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee
shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized
to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued
upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          9

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      All
references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by the Trustee
shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such
series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
be a corporation that has a combined capital and surplus, as most recently
reported or determined by it, sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction
under which it is organized or in which it is doing business to conduct a trust
business, and that is otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such
business and is subject to supervision or examination by federal or state
authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible
in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately. Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time (and
upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and
to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any
Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor
Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any successor Authenticating
Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally
named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto. 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
that such corporation shall be otherwise eligible under this Section, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the
Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.

       

      SECTION
2.11  GLOBAL SECURITIES.

       

      (a)      If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a
particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and
deliver, a Global Security that

       

      (1)         shall
represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate
principal amount of, all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such
series,

       

      (2)         shall
be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee,

       

      (3)         shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s
instruction, and

       

      (4)         shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in
whole but not in part, only to the Depositary, another nominee of the Depositary
or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.”

       

      (b)      Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section
2.05, only to the Depositary for such series, another nominee of the Depositary
for such series, or to a successor Depositary for such series selected or
approved by the Company or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.

       

      (c)      If
at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if
at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in
good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation,
and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable
to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and subject to
Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such
series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities
of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the
provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of such
series. In such event the Company will execute and subject to Section 2.05, the
Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination
by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security. Upon the exchange
of the Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by
the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange
for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in
such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to
instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall
instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the
Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so
registered.

      (d)      None
of the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any paying agent shall have any
responsibility or obligation to any beneficial owner in a Global Security, a
member of, or a participant in the Depositary or other Person with respect to
the accuracy of the records of the Depositary or its nominee or of any
participant or member thereof, with respect to any ownership interest in the
Securities or with respect to the delivery to any participant, member,
beneficial owner or other Person (other than the Depositary) of any notice
(including any notice of redemption) or the payment of any amount, under or with
respect to such Securities. All notices and communications to be given to the
Securityholders and all payments to be made to Securityholders under the
Securities and this Indenture shall be given or made only to or upon the order
of the registered holders (which shall be the Depositary or its nominee in the
case of the Global Security). The rights of beneficial owners in the Global
Security shall be exercised only through the Depositary subject to the
applicable procedures. The Trustee, the Security Registrar and any paying agent
shall be entitled to rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depositary with respect to its members,
participants and any beneficial owners. The Trustee, the Security Registrar and
any paying agent shall be entitled to deal with any depositary (including the
Depositary), and any nominee thereof, that is the registered holder of any
Global Security for all purposes of this Indenture relating to such Global
Security (including the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest and
additional amounts, if any, and the giving of instructions or directions by or
to the owner or holder of a beneficial ownership interest in such Global
Security) as the sole holder of such Global Security and shall have no
obligations to the beneficial owners thereof. None of the Trustee, the Security
Registrar or any paying agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any
acts or omissions of any such depositary with respect to such Global Security,
for the records of any such depositary, including records in respect of
beneficial ownership interests in respect of any such Global Security, for any
transactions between such depositary and any participant in such depositary or
between or among any such depositary, any such participant and/or any holder or
owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security, or for any transfers of
beneficial interests in any such Global Security.

       

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

       

      ARTICLE
III

      REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND

      PROVISIONS

       

      SECTION
3.01  REDEMPTION.

       

      The
Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after
the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant
to Section 2.01 hereof.

       

      SECTION
3.02  NOTICE OF REDEMPTION.

       

      (a)      In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the
case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with the
right reserved so to do, the Company shall (upon five Business Days prior notice
to the Trustee, unless a shorter notice period shall be acceptable to the
Trustee), or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to
Holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by mailing, first class
postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than 30 days and not more
than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that series to such Holders
at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been
duly given, whether or not the registered Holder receives the
notice.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          11

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      In any
case, failure duly to give such notice to the Holder of any Security of any
series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Securities of such series or any other series. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with any such restriction. Each such notice of redemption
shall specify the date fixed for
redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be
redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such
Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company in
[_____________], upon presentation and surrender of such Securities, that
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in
said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to accrue and
that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less than all
the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the Holders of
Securities of that series to be redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the
particular Securities to be so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed
in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state the portion
of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and
after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or
Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
thereof will be issued.

       

      If less
than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall give
the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption
as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be redeemed,
and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other manner as it
shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may provide for the
selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000)
or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of such Securities of
a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall
thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the
Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part. The Company may, if and whenever
it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its
President or any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to
call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for redemption and
to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such
notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such
paying agent as it may deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption
is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain with, the Trustee or
such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security Register, transfer books or
other records, or suitable copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable
the Trustee or such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required
under the provisions of this Section.

       

      SECTION
3.03  PAYMENT UPON REDEMPTION.

       

      (a)      If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided,
the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or
portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for
redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption
price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion thereof.
On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date fixed for
redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities
shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such series,
together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (but if
the date fixed for redemption is an Interest Payment Date, the interest
installment payable on such date shall be payable to the registered Holder at
the close of business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section
2.03).

presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part only,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the office or
agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the Holder thereof, at
the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of authorized
denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the
Security so presented.

3.04  SINKING FUND.

       

      The
provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking
fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any
sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.
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.

deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any Securities previously
called for redemption) and

election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the
application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of
such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking
fund payment with respect to the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such
series, provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such
Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
redemption price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly.

       

      SECTION
3.06  REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND.

       

      Not less
than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together with such
Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.
Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee
shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date
in the manner specified in Section 3.02 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 3.02. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Section 3.03.

as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to
maintain an office or agency in [_____________], with respect to each such

in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for
payment, (ii) Securities of that series may be presented as herein above
authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and
this Indenture may be given or served, such designation to continue with respect
to such office or agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by
its President or a Vice President and delivered to the Trustee, designate some
other office or agency in [_____________] for such purposes or any of them. 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, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.

      The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; 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 [_____________] 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.

       

      SECTION
4.03  PAYING AGENTS.

       

      (a)      If
the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of the
Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying
agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section:

       

      (1)         that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether
such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such
Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto;

       

      (2)         that
it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other
obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same
shall be due and payable;

       

      (3)         that
it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the
preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee,
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent;
and

       

      (4)         that
it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this
Indenture.

       

      (b)      If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the
Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium,
if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and hold
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay
such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities
of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such
action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such Securities) to take
such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more paying agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with the
paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or
interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such paying
agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of this
action or failure so to act.

       

      (c)      Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary,

       

      (1)         the
agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the
provisions of Section 11.05, and

       

      (2)         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 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 terms and
conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such paying
agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee, such paying
agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.

performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such
defaults and the nature and status thereof of which such signer may have

Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and
to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal of
all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon

series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences
if:

Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon
such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is
enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such
payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07,
and

       

      (ii)        any
and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to such series, other
than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that series that shall not
have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as provided
in Section 6.06. No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall
affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent

case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to
Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the

interest, or both, as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal
(and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is
enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the
rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section
7.07.

       

      (b)      If
the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled
and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the
collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or
proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that
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 other obligor upon the
Securities of that series, wherever situated.

       

      (c)      In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the
Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to intervene
in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted by the
court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file
such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary or
advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the Holders of
Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the
Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and
for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after
such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of
the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.07; and any receiver, assignee
or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the
Holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and,
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under
Section 7.07.

       

      (d)      All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of
the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be enforced
by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or the
production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and any
such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.07, be
for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series. In case
of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or
agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law. Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or
adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series or the rights
of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

particular series of Securities and any money or other property distributable in

Default shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by

principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
of that series, and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and

Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively.

       

      SECTION
6.04  LIMITATION ON SUITS.

       

      No Holder
of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of
any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder,
unless

       

      (1)         such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of
Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such
series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided;

       

      (2)         the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to
institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as trustee
hereunder;

       

      (3)         such
Holder or Holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as
it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby; and

       

      (4)         the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding
and

       

      (5)         during
such 60 day period, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with
the request.

       

      Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the right of any Holder of any
Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on such Security, as therein provided, on the respective due dates
expressed in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption
date), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after
such respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is
expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and Holder of every
Security of such series with every other such taker and Holder and the Trustee,
that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in
any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other
of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all Holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in
equity.

      SECTION
6.05  RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE; DELAY OR OMISSION NOT
WAIVER.

       

      (a)      Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this
Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted
by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies
available to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, by judicial
proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the
covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established
with respect to such Securities.

       

      (b)      No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from
time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by
the Securityholders.

       

      SECTION
6.06  CONTROL BY SECURITYHOLDERS.

       

      The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.01,
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 such series; provided, however,
that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders of Securities of any
other series at the time Outstanding determined in accordance with Section 8.01.
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a
Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so
directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with Section 8.01,
may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any
past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained herein or
established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of that series as and when the
same shall become due by the terms of such Securities otherwise than by
acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest and principal and any premium has been
deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with Section 6.01(c)) or in respect of
a covenant or provision hereof which under Article IX cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected.
Upon any such waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured
for all purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the Holders
of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

       

      SECTION
6.07  UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS.

       

      All
parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Securities by such
Holder’s 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 Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this
Indenture.

VII

      CONCERNING
THE TRUSTEE

       

      SECTION
7.01  CERTAIN DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE.

       

      (a)      The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with
respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall undertake
to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties and only
such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In case an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred (that
has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to
Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

       

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

       

      (i)       prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a
series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with
respect to that series that may have occurred: the duties and obligations of the
Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely
by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable
with respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may with respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein,
upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirement of this
Indenture;

       

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

       

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

       

      (iv)       this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (c) of this
Section 7.01.

       

      (c)      None
of the provisions contained in 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, it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment
of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.

       

      (d)      The
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of or be charged with having
knowledge of any Default or Event of Default with respect to any series of
Securities, except Events of Default under Section 6.01(a)(1) or (a)(2), if and
so long as it is acting as paying agent with respect to the Securities of such
series, unless written notice of such Default Event or Event of Default, as the
case may be, is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee from the Company or any Holder of Securities of such series, and such
notice references the Securities and this Indenture.

      (e)      Whether
or not 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 7.01.

       

      SECTION
7.02  NOTICE OF DEFAULTS.

       

      If a
Default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series and is known
to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders of
Securities of such series notice of such Default as and to the extent provided
by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any Default
of the character specified in clause (3) of Section 6.01(a) with respect to
Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.

       

      SECTION

(unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed
herein);

       

      (c)      The
Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion

Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the Trustee
of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a
series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to exercise with
respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs;

Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or

in this Indenture notwithstanding, in no event shall the Trustee be liable for
special, indirect, punitive or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including but not limited to loss of profit), even if the Company or
Guarantor has been advised as to the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action;

       

      (m)      the
Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the
performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or caused,

wars and other military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions;
loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or

Registrar.

       

      SECTION
7.06  MONEYS HELD IN TRUST.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall,

advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional
indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.

       

      (c)      To
the extent permitted by law, any compensation due or expense incurred by the
Trustee after a default specified in or pursuant to Section 6.01 is intended to
constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy or
insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes of this Section 7.07 shall include any
predecessor Trustee but the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not
affect the rights of any other Trustee under this Section 7.07.

       

      (d)      The
provisions of this Section 7.07 shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, the termination of this Indenture for any reason, or the earlier
resignation or removal of the Trustee and shall apply with equal force and
effect to the Trustee in its capacity as Authenticating Agent, Security
Registrar or paying agent.

       

      SECTION
7.08  RELIANCE ON OFFICERS’ CERTIFICATE.

       

      Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the
provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting
to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such
certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warranty to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof.

       

      SECTION
7.09  DISQUALIFICATION; CONFLICTING INTERESTS.

       

      If the
Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in
all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture
Act, subject to the penultimate paragraph thereof. For purposes of Section
310(b)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act and to the extent permitted thereby, the
Trustee, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series,
shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest arising from its capacity as
trustee in respect of the Securities of any other series.

       

      SECTION
7.10  CORPORATE TRUSTEE REQUIRED; ELIGIBILITY.

       

      There
shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder
which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory thereof or of the
District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as
trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty million
U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination by
federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such
corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or
to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. The Company may not, nor
may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under
common control with the Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 7.11.

       

      SECTION
7.11  RESIGNATION AND REMOVAL; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR.

       

      (a)      The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof
to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first class
postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names and
addresses appear upon the Security Register. 

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          24

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      Upon
receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series by written
instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy
of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to
the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the mailing of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to
Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for
the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon after such
notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor
trustee.

       

      (b)      In
case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

       

      (i)         the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.09 after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or

       

      (ii)        the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section
7.10 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or
by any such Securityholder; or

       

      (iii)       the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, 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, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by
order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered
to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, unless, in
the case of a failure to comply with Section 7.09, the Trustee’s duty to resign
is stayed as provided in the penultimate paragraph of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security or Securities for at least six months may, on behalf of that Holder and
all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee. Such
court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and
prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

       

      (c)      The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect
to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a
successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company.

       

      (d)      Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 7.12.

       

      (e)      Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with
respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and at
any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series.

       

      SECTION
7.12  ACCEPTANCE OF APPOINTMENT BY SUCCESSOR.

       

      (a)      In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge
and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further
act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the
successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges,
execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the
rights, powers, and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to the lien provided for
in Section 7.07.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          25

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

      (iii)       shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to
act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and
delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the
retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such
retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no further
responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of
the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by such
supplemental indenture, the 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, subject nevertheless to the lien
provided for in Section 7.07.

       

      (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)      Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section,
the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder by
mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and
addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company fails to transmit
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the
expense of the Company.

       

      SECTION
7.13  MERGER, CONVERSION, CONSOLIDATION OR SUCCESSION TO
BUSINESS.

       

      Any
Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall
be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such Person shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.09 and eligible under the provisions
of Section 7.10, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act
on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not
delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or
consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and
deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such
successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

      SECTION
7.14  PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST THE
COMPANY.

       

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

       

      ARTICLE
VIII

      CONCERNING
THE SECURITYHOLDERS

       

      SECTION
8.01  EVIDENCE OF ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS.

       

      Whenever
in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a majority or specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the
giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the
fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such majority or
specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such
Holders of Securities of that series in Person or by agent or proxy appointed in
writing. If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination
of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have
no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given
before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the
close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for
the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion
of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series
shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record
date.

       

      SECTION
8.02  PROOF OF EXECUTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a
Securityholder (such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy
and proof of the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be
sufficient if made in the following manner:

       

      (a)      The
fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be
proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

       

      (b)      The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such
Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.

       

      (c)      The
Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this
Section as it shall deem necessary.

       

      SECTION
8.03  WHO MAY BE DEEMED OWNERS.

       

      Prior to
the due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company,
the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the
Person in whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the
Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security
shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon
made by anyone other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving
payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject
to Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security
Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

       

      SECTION
8.04  CERTAIN SECURITIES OWNED BY COMPANY DISREGARDED.

       

      In
determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of
Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or
waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with
the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only
Securities of such series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually
knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

       

      
        
          
          

        

        
          27

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

      The
Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as
Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to
the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to
such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the
Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute as to such right, any
decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full
protection to the Trustee.

       

      SECTION
8.05  ACTIONS BINDING ON FUTURE SECURITYHOLDERS.

       

      At any
time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in
Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of the majority or
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of
a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the
Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing
written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in
Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as
aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners
of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange therefor, on
registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or
not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken
by the Holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of a particular series specified in this Indenture in connection
with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and
the Holders of all the Securities of that series.

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 to add any additional Events of
Default for the benefit of the Holders of all or any series of Securities (and
if such additional Events of Default are to be for the benefit of less than all
series of Securities, stating that such additional Events of Default are
expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series);

       

      (5)         to

for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
Trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.12.

       

      The
Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any
such supplemental indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be
obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

       

      Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be

      With the
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series
affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding,
the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from
time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental

in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner
or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental
indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights
of the Holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby:

       

      (1)         change
the maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest

provision of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the
benefit of one or more particular series of Securities, or which modifies the
rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant
or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. It shall not be
necessary for the consent of the Securityholders of any series affected thereby
under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental
indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
substance thereof.

9.03  EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

       

      Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series,
be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities
of the series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and
enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments,
and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and
be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and
all purposes.

       

      SECTION
9.04  SECURITIES AFFECTED BY SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

       

      Securities
of any series, affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered
after the execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of
this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by the
Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any exchange upon which
such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental
indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so
modified as to conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company,
to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such supplemental
indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and
delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then
Outstanding.

       

      SECTION
9.05  EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES.

       

      Upon the
request of the Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the
execution of any supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence of any requisite consents of Securityholders required to consent
thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in
which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter
into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive
evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is
authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and that
it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to join in the
execution thereof.

       

      Promptly
after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Company shall transmit by mail,
first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series
affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register.
Any failure of the Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall
not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental
indenture.

      SECTION
11.01  SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE.

       

      This
Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect with respect
to a series of Securities (except as to any surviving rights of registration of
transfer or exchange of such series of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to such series, when:

       

      (1)         either
(A) all Securities of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other
than (i) any Securities that shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that
shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07 and (ii) Securities
for whose payment money or noncallable Governmental Obligations have theretofore
been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 11.05) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or (B) all
Securities of such series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation (i) have become due and payable, or (ii) will by their terms become
due and payable within one year, or (iii) are to be called for redemption within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice
of redemption, and the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the
Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose (x) moneys in an amount, or (y)
noncallable Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on
which in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date
of any payment, money in an amount, or (z) a combination thereof, sufficient, in
the case of (y) or (z), 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, at maturity or upon redemption,
all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to
become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be;

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

       

      (3)         the
Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all the conditions precedent herein provided for
relating to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to
such series of Securities have been complied with. Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to a series of
Securities, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money
shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (y) of clause
(1) of this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Sections 11.03 and
11.05 shall survive.

       

      SECTION
11.02  DEFEASANCE.

       

      The
Company may, at its option and at any time (including notwithstanding the
exercise by the Company of a Covenant Defeasance (as defined herein)), elect to
have its obligations discharged with respect to a series of the Securities
(“Legal Defeasance”). Such Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be
deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
series of Securities, except for (a) the rights of Holders to receive payments
in respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities when such payments are due solely from the trust fund described in
this Section, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such series of
Securities concerning issuing temporary Securities, registration of transfer or
exchange of such series of Securities, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities of such series and the maintenance of an office or agency for
payments, (c) the rights, powers, trust, duties and immunities of the Trustee
and the Company’s obligations in connection therewith and (d) the Legal
Defeasance provisions of this Indenture. In addition, the Company may, at its
option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company released
with respect to covenants provided with respect to such series of Securities
under Section 2.01(16), 9.01(4) and 9.01(7) of this Indenture (“Covenant
Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with such obligations shall
not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such series of
Securities. In the event of Covenant Defeasance, those events described under
Section 6.01(a) with respect to the foregoing covenants will no longer
constitute an Event of Default with respect to such series of
Securities.

       

      In order
to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

       

      (1)         the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders of such series, (A) moneys in an amount, or (B) noncallable
Governmental Obligations the scheduled principal of and interest on which in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than the due date of any
payment, money in an amount, or (C) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
case of (B) or (C), 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, at maturity or upon redemption,
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such series of Securities
on the stated date for payment thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as
the case may be;

       

      (2)         in
the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel confirming that (A) the Company has received from, or there
has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the
date 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 of
Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such series of Securities will not
recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of
such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

       

      (3)         in
the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee
an Opinion of Counsel confirming that the Holders of such series of Securities
will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a
result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on
the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been
the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

      (4)         no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit or insofar as Events of Default under clauses (4) and (5) of
Section 6.01(a) with respect to the Securities of such series are concerned, at
any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit;

       

      (5)         the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for or
relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be,
have been complied with; and

       

      (6)         if
such series of Securities are to be redeemed prior to final maturity (other than
from mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments), notice of such
redemption shall have been duly given pursuant to this Indenture or provision
therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made.

       

      SECTION
11.03  DEPOSITED MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST.

       

      All
moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
Sections 11.01 or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for
payment as due, either directly or through any paying agent (including the
Company acting as its own paying agent), to the Holders of the particular series
of Securities for the payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental
Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee. Funds held pursuant to this
Section with respect to any series of Securities shall not be subject to the
claims of the holders of Senior Indebtedness with respect to such series,
provided, that at the time of the deposit of such funds with the Trustee under
this Article, no event had occurred that would, under the subordination
provisions related to such series, require that any payment to be made to the
holders of such Securities be paid or paid over to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness.

       

      SECTION
11.04  PAYMENT OF MONEYS HELD BY PAYING AGENTS.

       

      In
connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys or
Governmental Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of
this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and
thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.

       

      SECTION
11.05  REPAYMENT TO COMPANY.

       

      Any
moneys or Governmental Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the
Trustee, or then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are
not applied but remain unclaimed by the Holders of such Securities for at least
two years after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on such Securities shall have respectively become due and payable,
shall be repaid to the Company on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the
Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and thereupon the paying agent and
the Trustee shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
moneys or Governmental Obligations, and the Holder of any of the Securities
entitled to receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof.
