Issuer or the Trustee, as applicable, may set a date for the purpose of

and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event,
at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving
of such notice.  In any case where
notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice,
nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect
the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.  Where this Indenture provides for notice in
any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers
of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not
be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.


 


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

(8)  the
right, if any, of the Issuer to redeem the Securities of such series and the

of any other series of Securities then Outstanding); provided, however,
that the addition to or subtraction from or variation of Articles Four, Five,
Six, Nine, Eleven, Thirteen and Sixteen (and Section 1.01 insofar as it
relates to the definition of certain terms as used in such Articles) with
regard to the Securities of a particular series shall not be deemed to
constitute a conflict with the provisions of those Articles.


 


All Securities
of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination
and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to such Board Resolution
and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any such indenture
supplemental hereto.  All Securities of
any one series need not be issued at the same time, and unless otherwise
provided, a series may be reopened for issuance of additional Securities of
such series without the consent of the Holders thereof.


 


Except as
modified in a Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture
establishing a series of Securities, the Securities shall be subordinated in
right of payment to Senior Indebtedness as provided in Article Four.  The Securities of all series shall rank on a
parity in right of payment.


 


18

















 


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


 


SECTION 3.02.  Denominations.


 


The Securities
of each series shall be issuable in registered form without coupons in such
denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.01.  In the absence of any such provisions with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.


 


SECTION 3.03.  Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating.


 


The Securities
shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by its Chairman of the Board, its
President or one of its Vice Presidents, attested by its Secretary or one of
its Assistant Secretaries, and may be under its corporate seal reproduced
thereon.  The signature of any of these
officers and the corporate seal, if any, on the Securities may be manual or
facsimile.


 


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


 


At any time
and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Issuer may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Issuer to the
Trustee for authentication, together with an Issuer Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Issuer Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  If any Security shall be represented by a
permanent Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and
Section 3.04, the notation of a beneficial owner’s interest therein upon
original issuance of such Security or upon exchange of a portion of a temporary
Global Security shall be deemed to be delivery in connection with the original
issuance of such beneficial owner’s interest in such permanent Global Security.


 


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 the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust
Indenture Act, and, in addition:


 


(1)  a
Board Resolution relating thereto, and if applicable, an appropriate record of
any action taken pursuant to such Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary
or Assistant Secretary of the Issuer, if applicable;


 


(2)  an
executed supplemental indenture, if any; and


 


(3)  an
Opinion of Counsel which shall state;


 


19

















 


(A)  that
the form and terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to
Board Resolutions, by a supplemental indenture or by both such resolution or
resolutions and such supplemental indenture in conformity with the provisions
of this Indenture;


 


(B)  that
the supplemental indenture, if any, when executed and delivered by the Issuer
and the Trustee, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the
Issuer; and


 


(C)  that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Issuer
in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Issuer,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity principles, and will
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this
Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Board Resolution
and the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01
or the Board Resolution and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to
this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to
be issued.


 


Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication.


 


No Security
shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory
for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the
Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder.


 


SECTION 3.04.  Temporary
Securities.


 


Pending the
preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Issuer may execute, and
upon Issuer Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, reproduced or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.


 


20

















 


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


 


SECTION 3.05.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange Global Securities Representing the Securities.


 


(a)  The
Issuer shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency of the Issuer in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to
as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for the registration of Securities
and of transfers of Securities.  The
Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.


 


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


 


Except as
otherwise provided in this Article Three, at the option of the Holder,
Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of an equal aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or
agency.  Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.


 


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


 


Every Security
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if
so required by the Issuer or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied
by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the
Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing with such signature guaranteed by a commercial bank
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or by a member of a national securities
exchange.


 


21

















 


No service
charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant
to Section 3.04, 10.06 or 12.07 not involving any transfer.


 


The Issuer
shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities
of that series selected for redemption under Section 12.03 and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange of any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.


 


(b)  If
the Issuer shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities of
a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
Securities, then the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance
with Section 3.03 and the Issuer Order with respect to such series,
authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or
permanent form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount
equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities
or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) unless otherwise provided for pursuant
to Section 3.01, the Securities of such series shall be delivered by the
Trustee or delivered or held pursuant to such Depositary’s instruction, and (iv)
shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect:  “This Security may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of
the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such
successor Depositary, unless and until this Security is exchanged in whole or
in part for Securities in definitive form.”


 


Each
Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 must, at the time of its
designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and any other applicable statute or regulation.


 


If at any time
the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Issuer that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series
or if at any time the Depositary for Securities of a series shall no longer be
a clearing agency registered and in good standing under the Exchange Act or
other applicable statute or regulation (as required by this Section 3.05),
the Issuer shall appoint a successor Depositary eligible under this
Section 3.05 with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor
Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Issuer
within 90 days after the Issuer receives such notice or becomes aware of such
condition, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Issuer
Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such
series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in definitive
form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the
Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities.


 


22

















 


The Issuer may
at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any
series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be
represented by such Global Security or Securities.  In such event, the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive
Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such
series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series
in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.


 


If the
Securities of any series shall have been issued in the form of one or more
Global Securities and if an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
such series shall have occurred and be continuing, the Issuer may, and upon the
request of the Trustee shall, promptly execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Issuer Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such series, will authenticate and deliver, Securities of such series in
definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in
exchange for such Global Security or Securities.


 


The Depositary
for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series
of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in
definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Issuer and such
Depositary.  Thereupon, the Issuer shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without charge:


 


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


 


(ii)  to the Depositary a new
Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal
amount of Securities delivered to holders thereof.


 


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


 


SECTION 3.06.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities.


 


If any
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Issuer shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security
of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


If there shall
be delivered to the Issuer and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of
either of them harmless, then, in


 


23

















 


the absence of
notice to the Issuer or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Issuer shall
execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.


 


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


 


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


 


Every new
Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the destroyed, lost or
stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be
entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder.


 


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


 


SECTION 3.07.  Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved.


 


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


 


At the option
of the Issuer, interest on the Securities of any series that bear interest may
be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such
address shall appear in the Security Register.


 


Any interest
on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (“Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date
by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid
by the Issuer, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2)
below:


 


(1)  The Issuer may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be
fixed in the following manner.  The
Issuer shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the


 


24

















 


Issuer shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee
shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. 
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Issuer of such Special Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Issuer, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities
of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (2).


 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 3.08.  Persons Deemed Owners.


 


Prior to due
presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Issuer, the Trustee
and any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to
Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the Issuer,
the Trustee or any agent of the Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by
notice to the contrary.


 


SECTION 3.09.  Cancellation.


 


All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, conversion, registration of transfer or
exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation
shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the
Trustee and promptly shall be cancelled by it and, if surrendered to the
Trustee, shall be promptly cancelled by it. 
The Issuer may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities


 


25

















 


previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered promptly shall be cancelled
by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee
shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary procedures
unless directed by an Issuer Order.  The
acquisition of any Securities by the Issuer shall not operate as a redemption
or satisfaction of the Indebtedness represented thereby unless and until such
Securities are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation.  Permanent Global Securities shall not be
destroyed until exchanged in full for definitive Securities or until payment
thereon is made in full.


 


SECTION 3.10.  Computation
of Interest.


 


Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any
series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the
basis of a year of twelve 30-day months.


 


SECTION 3.11.  CUSIP
Numbers.


 


The Issuer in
issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in use), and,
if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or
omission of such numbers.  The Issuer
will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.


 


ARTICLE FOUR



SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES


 


SECTION 4.01.  Agreement To
Subordinate.


 


The Issuer
agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security of any series agrees, that the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment,
to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article Four, to the
prior payment in full in cash or Cash Equivalents of all Senior Indebtedness of
the Issuer and that the subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by
the holders of such Senior Indebtedness. The Securities shall in all respects
rank pari passu with all other
Senior Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer and shall rank senior to all
existing and future Subordinated Indebtedness of the Issuer; and only
Indebtedness of the Issuer that is Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall rank
senior to the Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth herein.
All provisions of this Article Four shall be subject to Section 4.12.


 


26

















 


SECTION 4.02.  Liquidation, Dissolution, Bankruptcy. 


 


Upon any
distribution to creditors of the Issuer in a liquidation or dissolution of the
Issuer or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar
proceeding relating to the Issuer or its property, an assignment for the
benefit of creditors or any marshaling of the Issuer’s assets and liabilities,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive payment in full
in cash or Cash Equivalents of such Senior Indebtedness and all outstanding
Letter of Credit Obligations shall be fully cash collateralized before the
Holders shall be entitled to receive any payment with respect to the
Securities, and until all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash or Cash
Equivalents, any distribution to which the Holders would be entitled shall be
made to the holders of Senior Indebtedness (except that Holders may receive (i)
shares of stock and any debt securities that are subordinated at least to the
same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior Indebtedness and (b) any securities
issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness and (ii) payments and other
distributions made from the trusts described in Section 5.01).


 


SECTION 4.03.  Default on
Senior Indebtedness. 


 


The Issuer
shall not make any payment upon or in respect of the Securities (except that
Holders may receive (i) shares of stock and any debt securities that are
subordinated at least to the same extent as the Securities to (a) Senior
Indebtedness and (b) any securities issued in exchange for Senior Indebtedness
and (ii) payments and other distributions made from the trusts described in
Section 5.01) until all Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full in cash
or Cash Equivalents if (i) a default in the payment of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on, or of unreimbursed amounts under drawn letters
of credit or in respect of bankers’ acceptances or fees relating to letters of
credit or bankers’ acceptances constituting, Designated Senior Indebtedness
occurs and is continuing beyond any applicable period of grace in the
indenture, agreement or other document governing such Designated Senior
Indebtedness (a “Payment Default”) or (ii) any other default occurs and is
continuing with respect to Designated Senior Indebtedness that permits holders
of the Designated Senior Indebtedness as to which such default relates to
accelerate its maturity without further notice (except such notice as may be
required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace
periods (a “Non-Payment Default”) and the Trustee receives a notice of such
default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a representative of holders of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness. Payments on the Securities, including any
missed payments, may and shall be resumed (a) in the case of a Payment Default,
upon the date on which such default is cured or waived or shall have ceased to
exist or such Designated Senior Indebtedness shall have been discharged or paid
in full in cash or Cash Equivalents and all outstanding Letter of Credit
Obligations shall have been fully cash collateralized and (b) in case of a
Non-Payment Default, the earlier of (x) the date on which such nonpayment
default is cured or waived, (y) 179 days after the date on which the applicable
Payment Blockage Notice is received (each such period, the “Payment Blockage
Period”) or (z) the date such Payment Blockage Period shall be terminated by
written notice to the Trustee from the requisite holders of such Designated
Senior Indebtedness necessary to terminate such period or from their
representative. No new Payment Blockage Period may be commenced unless and
until 365 days have elapsed since the effectiveness of the immediately
preceding Payment Blockage Notice. However, if any Payment Blockage Notice
within such 365-day period is given by or on behalf of any holders of
Designated Senior Indebtedness (other than the agent under the Senior Credit
Facilities), the agent under the Senior Credit Facilities may give another
Payment


 


27

















 


Blockage
Notice within such period. In no event, however, shall the total number of days
during which any Payment Blockage Period or Periods is in effect exceed 179
days in the aggregate during any 365 consecutive day period. No Non-Payment
Default that existed or was continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment
Blockage Notice to the Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent
Payment Blockage Notice unless such default shall have been cured or waived for
a period of not less than 90 days.


 


SECTION 4.04.  Acceleration
of Payment of Securities. 


 


If payment of
the Securities of any series is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the
Issuer or
the Trustee shall promptly notify the holders of the Designated Senior
Indebtedness (or their Representative) of the acceleration. If any Designated
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding, the Issuer shall not pay the Securities
until five Business Days after such holders or the Representative of the
Designated Senior Indebtedness receive notice of such acceleration and,
thereafter, shall pay the Securities only if this Article Four otherwise
permits payment at that time.


 


SECTION 4.05.  When
Distribution Must Be Paid Over. 


 


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


 


SECTION 4.06.  Subrogation.



 


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


 


SECTION 4.07.  Relative
Rights. 


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


28

















 


SECTION 4.08.  Subordination
May Not Be Impaired by Issuer. 


 


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


 


SECTION 4.09.  Rights of
Trustee and Paying Agent. 


 


Notwithstanding
Section 4.03, the Trustee or Paying Agent may continue to make payments on
the Securities and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
facts that would prohibit the making of any such payments unless, not less than
two Business Days prior to the date of such payment, a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that payments may not be made
under this Article Four. The Issuer, the Registrar, the Paying Agent, a
Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer may give the
notice; provided, however, that, if an issue of Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer has a Representative, only the Representative may
give the notice.


 


The Trustee in
its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and
the Paying Agent may do the same with like rights. The Trustee shall be
entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article Four with respect to
any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer which may at any time be held by it, to
the same extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in
Article Seven shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such
holder. Nothing in this Article Four shall apply to claims of, or payments
to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 7.07.


 


SECTION 4.10.  Distribution
or Notice to Representative. 


 


Whenever a
distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of Senior Indebtedness
of the Issuer, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative (if any).


 


SECTION 4.11.  Article Four
Not to Prevent Events of Default or Limit Right to Accelerate. 


 


The failure to
make a payment pursuant to the Securities by reason of any provision in this
Article Four shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an
Event of Default. Nothing in this Article Four shall have any effect on
the right of the Holders or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the
Securities.


 


SECTION 4.12.  Trust Money
Not Subordinated. 


 


Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds
of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust under Article Five by the
Trustee for the payment of principal of and interest on the Securities shall
not be subordinated to the prior payment of any Senior Indebtedness of the
Issuer or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Four, and
none of the Holders shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the
Issuer or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer or any other creditor
of the Issuer.


 


29

















 


SECTION 4.13.  Trustee
Entitled to Rely. 


 


Upon any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Four, the Trustee and the
Holders shall be entitled to rely (i) upon any order or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction in which any proceedings of the nature referred to in
Section 4.02 are pending, (ii) upon a certificate of the liquidating
trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to the
Trustee or to the Holders or (iii) upon the Representatives for the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Issuer, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all
other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Four. In the event that
the Trustee determines, in good faith, that evidence is required with respect
to the right of any Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Four,
the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of such Senior Indebtedness held
by such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in
such payment or distribution and other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article Four, and, if such evidence is not furnished,
the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The provisions of
Sections 7.01 and 7.03 shall be applicable to all actions or omissions of
actions by the Trustee pursuant to this Article Four.


 


SECTION 4.14.  Trustee to
Effectuate Subordination. 


 


Each Holder by
accepting a Security of any series authorizes and directs the Trustee on his
behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or
effectuate the subordination between the Holders and the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer as provided in this Article Four and appoints
the Trustee as attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.


 


SECTION 4.15.  Trustee Not
Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness. 


 


The Trustee
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Issuer and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders or the Issuer or any other Person,
money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer shall
be entitled by virtue of this Article Four or otherwise.


 


SECTION 4.16.  Reliance by
Holders of Senior Indebtedness on Subordination Provisions. 


 


(a)  Each
Holder by accepting a Security of any series acknowledges and agrees that the
foregoing subordination provisions are, and are intended to be, an inducement
and a consideration to each holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the Issuer,
whether such Senior Indebtedness was created or acquired before or after the
issuance of the Securities, to acquire and continue to hold, or to continue to
hold, such Senior Indebtedness and such holder of such Senior Indebtedness
shall be deemed conclusively to have relied on such subordination provisions in
acquiring and continuing to hold, or in continuing to hold, such Senior
Indebtedness.


 


30

















 


(b)  Without
in any way limiting the generality of paragraph (a) of this Section, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness may, at any time and from time to time, without
the consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders, without incurring
responsibility to the Holders and without impairing or releasing the
subordination provided in this Article Four or the obligations hereunder
of the Holders to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, do any one or more of the
following:  (1) change the manner, place
or terms of payment or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior
Indebtedness or any instrument evidencing the same or any agreement under which
Senior Indebtedness is outstanding; (2) sell, exchange, release or otherwise
deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or otherwise securing Senior
Indebtedness; (3) release any Person liable in any manner for the collection of
Senior Indebtedness; and (4) exercise or refrain from exercising any rights
against the Issuer or any other Person.


 


SECTION 4.17.  Trustee’s
Compensation Not Prejudiced. 


 


Nothing in
this Article Four shall apply to amounts due to the Trustee pursuant to
other sections of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 4.18.  Defeasance.



 


The terms of
this Article Four shall not apply to payments from money or the proceeds
of U.S. Government Obligations held in trust by the Trustee for the payment of
principal of and interest on the Securities pursuant to the provisions
described in Section 5.03.


 


ARTICLE FIVE



SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE; DEFEASANCE


 


SECTION 5.01.  Satisfaction
and Discharge of Securities of any Series.


 


The Issuer
shall be deemed to have satisfied and discharged the entire indebtedness on all
the Securities of any particular series (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, upon Issuer Request and at the expense of the Issuer,
shall execute such instruments as may be requested by the Issuer acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of such Indebtedness, when


 


(a)  either


 


(1)  all Securities theretofore
authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 3.06 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore
been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter
repaid to the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 11.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or


 


(2)  all such Securities not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation


 


(A)  have
become due and payable, or


 


31

















 


(B)  will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or


 


(C)  are
to be called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name,
and at the expense, of the Issuer,


 


and the
Issuer, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount sufficient
to pay and discharge the entire Indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (other than Securities which have
been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided
in Section 3.06), for principal (and premium, if any) and interest to the
date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and
payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be;


 


(b)  the
Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Issuer; and


 


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


 


Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Issuer
to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 5.03 and the last paragraph of
Section 11.03 shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.


 


SECTION 5.02.  Option to
Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The Issuer
may, at the option of its Board of Directors evidenced by a supplemental
indenture or, at any time, by a Board Resolution set forth in an Officers’
Certificate with respect to the Securities of any series, unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a particular series of
Securities, elect to have either Section 5.03 or 5.04 be applied to all of
the Outstanding Securities of that series upon compliance with the conditions
set forth below in this Article Five.


 


SECTION 5.03.  Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.


 


Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this
Section 5.03, the Issuer shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to all Outstanding Securities of the particular series
and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth below
are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Legal Defeasance means that the Issuer
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged all the obligations relating to the
Outstanding Securities of that series, including any coupons appertaining
thereto, and the Securities of that series, including any coupons appertaining
thereto, shall thereafter be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes
of Section 5.06 and 


 


32

















 


the other Sections of this Indenture referred to below in this
Section 5.03, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture and
cured all then existing Events of Default (and the Trustee, on demand of and at
the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the
same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated
or discharged hereunder:  (i) the
Issuer’s obligations with respect to Securities of such series under Sections
3.05, 3.06, 11.02 and 11.03, (ii) rights of Holders to receive payments of the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on the Securities of
such series as they shall become due from time to time and other rights, duties
and obligations of Holders as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the
amounts so deposited with the Trustee, (iii) the rights, obligations and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder (for which purposes the Securities of such
series shall be deemed outstanding) and (iv) this Article Five and the
obligations set forth in Section 5.06 hereof.


 


Subject to
compliance with this Article Five, the Issuer may exercise its option
under Section 5.03 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 5.04 with respect to the Securities of a particular series and any
coupons appertaining thereto.


 


SECTION 5.04.  Covenant Defeasance.


 


Upon the
Issuer’s exercise under Section 5.02 of the option applicable to this
Section 5.04, the Issuer shall be released from any obligations under the
covenants contained in Sections 9.01, 11.04, 11.05, 11.06, 11.08 and 11.09
hereof or established pursuant to Sections 3.01 or 10.01 hereof with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of the particular series on and after the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”),
and the Securities of that series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
thereafter be deemed not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction,
waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the consequences of any
thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being understood that such
Securities shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting purposes).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance
means that, with respect to the Outstanding Securities of that series and any
coupons appertaining thereto, the Issuer may omit to comply with and shall have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a default or Event of Default under
Section 6.01(4) or any Event of Default specified pursuant to
Section 3.01 or 10.01 but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and the Securities of that series shall be unaffected thereby.


 


SECTION 5.05.  Conditions
to Legal or Covenant Defeasance.


 


The following
shall be the conditions to the application of either Section 5.03 or
Section 5.04 to the Outstanding Securities of a particular series:


 


(a)  the
Issuer must irrevocably deposit, or cause to be irrevocably deposited, with the
Trustee for the Securities of that series, in trust, for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities of that series, cash in the currency or currency unit
in which the Securities of that series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 


 


33

















 


for the Securities
of that series), U.S. Government Obligations or a combination thereof in such
amounts as will be sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, due on the outstanding Securities of that series and any
related coupons at the Stated Maturity, or on the applicable Redemption Date,
as the case may be, with respect to the outstanding Securities of that series
and any related coupons;


 


(b)  in
the case of Legal Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee for the Securities of that series (1) an Opinion of Counsel confirming
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, since the date on which
Securities of such series were originally issued, there has been a change in
the applicable U.S. Federal income tax law, to the effect that, and based
thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, subject to customary
assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of that
series will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to U.S.
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 or
(2) a copy of a ruling or other formal statement or action to that effect
received from or published by the U.S. Internal Revenue Service;


 


(c)  in
the case of Covenant Defeasance only, the Issuer shall have delivered to the
Trustee for the Securities of that series an Opinion of Counsel confirming
that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss
for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance
and will be subject to such 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;


 


(d)  no
Event of Default or event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time,
or both, would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
that series (other than any event resulting from the borrowing of funds to be
applied to make such deposit) shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit;


 


(e)  such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or
violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement (other than
this Indenture) or instrument to which the Issuer is a party or by which the
Issuer is bound; and


 


(f)  the
Issuer shall have delivered to the Trustee for the Securities of that series an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel (which opinion of counsel may
be subject to customary assumptions and exclusions) 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.


 


SECTION 5.06.  Survival of
Certain Obligations.


 


Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of the Securities of a particular series
referred to in Sections 5.01, 5.02, 5.04, or 5.05, the respective obligations
of the Issuer
and the


 


34

















 


Trustee for the Securities of a particular series under Sections 3.03,
3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 3.09, 5.07, 5.08, 5.09 and 6.08, Article Seven, and
Sections 8.01, 8.02, 11.02, 11.03 and 11.04, shall survive with respect to
Securities of that series until the Securities of that series are no longer
outstanding, and thereafter the obligations of the Issuer and the Trustee for the
Securities of a particular series with respect to that series under Sections
5.07, 5.08 and 5.09 shall survive. 
Nothing contained in this Article Five shall abrogate any of the obligations
or duties of the Trustee of any series of Securities under this Indenture.


 


SECTION 5.07.  Application
of Trust Money.


 


Subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 11.03, all money deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 5.01 and 5.02 shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Issuer acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium, if
any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the
Trustee.


 


SECTION 5.08.  Repayment of
Money Held by Paying Agent.


 


Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any other Paying Agent remaining unclaimed by the
Holders of any Securities for two years after the date upon which the principal
of or interest on such Securities shall have become due and payable, shall be
repaid to the Issuer by the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent and such
Holders shall thereafter be entitled to look to the Issuer only as general
creditors for payment thereof (unless otherwise provided by law); provided,
however, that, before the Trustee or any such other Paying Agent is required
to make any such payment to the Issuer, the Trustee may, upon the request of
the Issuer and at the expense of the Issuer, cause to be published once in an
Authorized Newspaper a notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after
the date set forth in said notice, the balance of such money then unclaimed
will be returned to the Issuer.


 


SECTION 5.09.  Reinstatement.


 


If the Trustee
is unable to apply any money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with
Sections 5.01 or 5.02, as the case may be, by reason of any legal proceeding or
by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Issuer’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Sections 5.01 or 5.02,
as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee is permitted to apply all
such money or U.S. Government Obligations in accordance with Sections 5.01 or
5.02, as the case may be; provided that, if the Issuer has made payment
of principal of, or interest on any Securities because of the reinstatement of
its obligations, the Issuer shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of
such Securities to receive such payment from the money or U.S. Government
Obligations held by the Trustee.

rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

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

continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or
order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or


 


(6)  the commencement by the Issuer
or any Significant Restricted Subsidiary of a voluntary case or proceeding
under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or

generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action by any
Significant Restricted Subsidiary in furtherance of any such action, or the
taking of any comparable action under any foreign laws relating to insolvency;


 


(7)  except as
permitted by this Indenture and the Securities, the Guarantees shall be held in
any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason
to be in full force and effect with respect to any Guarantor or any Guarantor
shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Guarantee; and


 


(8)  any other Event of Default
provided with respect to Securities of that series.


 


SECTION 6.02.  Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.


 


If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding (other
than of a type specified in Section 6.01(e) or (f)) occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may
declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original
Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be
specified in the terms of that series) of all of the Securities of that series
to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to
the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable, anything
in this Indenture or in any of the Securities of such series to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of such series shall
remain subordinated to the extent provided in Article Four.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


37

















 


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


 


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


 


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


 


and


 


(2)  all Events of Default with
respect to Securities of that series, other than the nonpayment of the
principal of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 6.13.


 


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


 


Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under
Section 6.01(5) or (6), all outstanding Securities shall IPSO FACTO become
due and payable without further action or notice.


 


SECTION 6.03.  Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


The Issuer
covenants that if


 


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


 


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


 


(3)  default is made in the making
or satisfaction of any sinking fund payment or analogous obligation when the
same becomes due pursuant to the terms of any Security,


 


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


 


If the Issuer
fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding
to judgment or final


 


38

















 


decree and may
enforce the same against the Issuer or any other obligor upon such Securities
and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Issuer or any other obligor upon such
Securities, wherever situated.


 


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


 


SECTION 6.04.  Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.


 


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


 


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


 


(ii)  to collect and receive any
money or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim and to
distribute the same;


 


and any
Custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder
to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the
Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07.


 


Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights
of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding except as aforesaid, to vote for the
election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar person or to participate as a
member, voting or otherwise, on any committee of creditors.


 


39

















 


SECTION 6.05.  Trustee
May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities.


 


All rights of
action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the
production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding
instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an
express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for the
payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders
of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.


 


SECTION 6.06.  Application
of Money Collected.


 


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


 


FIRST:  To the payment of all
amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07;


 


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


 


THIRD:  To the payment of the
remainder, if any, to the Issuer, its successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.


 


SECTION 6.07.  Limitation
on Suits.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


40

















 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 6.08.  Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.


 


Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment (subject to
the provisions of Article Four) of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date) and the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and such rights shall not be impaired without
the consent of such Holder.


 


SECTION 6.09.  Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.


 


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


 


SECTION 6.10.  Rights and
Remedies Cumulative.


 


Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of
Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the
Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.  The assertion or employment of any right or
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.


 


SECTION 6.11.  Delay or
Omission Not Waiver.


 


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


 


41

















 


SECTION 6.12.  Control by
Holders.


 


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


 


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


 


(b)  the Trustee shall not
determine that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to the
Holders of the Securities of such series not taking part in such direction, or
to the Holders of the Securities of any other series, and


 


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


 


SECTION 6.13.  Waiver of Past Defaults.


 


Subject to
Section 6.02, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all
the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to
such series and its consequences, except a default


 


(1)  in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series,
or


 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 6.14.  Undertaking
for Costs.


 


All parties to
this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his acceptance thereof
shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require,
in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant 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 and expenses, against
any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith
of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of
this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any
suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate
more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
or to


 


42

















 


any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the Stated
Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).


 


SECTION 6.15.  Waiver of
Stay or Extension Laws.


 


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


 


ARTICLE SEVEN



THE TRUSTEE


 


SECTION 7.01.  Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.


 


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


 


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


 


(2)  in the absence of bad faith on
its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or
opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this
Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any
provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the
Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture but need not verify the
accuracy of the contents thereof or whether procedures specified by or pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture have been followed in the preparation
thereof.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


43

















 


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


 


(3)  the Trustee shall not be
liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good
faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, determined as
provided in Section 6.12, relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture
with respect to the Securities of such series; and


 


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


 


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


 


SECTION 7.02.  Notice of
Defaults.


 


Within 90 days
after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of
such series, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register,
notice of such default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default
shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except
in the case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if
any) or interest on any Security of such series or in the payment of any
sinking fund or analogous obligation installment with respect to Securities of
such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and
so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee
of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine
that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of
Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the
case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(4) with
respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to Securities of such series.


 


SECTION 7.03.  Certain
Rights of Trustee.


 


Subject to the
provisions of Section 7.01:


 


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


 


44

















 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(f)  the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Issuer, personally or by agent or attorney, at the
expense of the Issuer and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of
such inquiry or investigation;


 


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


 


(h)  the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or knowledge of any matter unless a
Responsible Officer assigned to and working in the Trustee’s corporate trust
department has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice thereof is
received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office and such notice
references the Securities generally, the Issuer or this Indenture.  Whenever reference is made in this Indenture
to an Event of Default, such reference shall, insofar as determining any
liability on the part of the Trustee is concerned, be construed to refer only
to an Event of Default of which the Trustee is deemed to have knowledge in
accordance with this paragraph;


 


(i)  the
permissive right of the Trustee to take or refrain from taking any actions
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty;


 


45

















 


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


 


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


 


(1) unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request,
direction or notice from the Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient if
signed by an Officer of the Company or such Guarantor; and


 


(m)  the
Trustee may request that the Issuer deliver an Officers’ Certificate setting
forth the names of individuals and/or titles of officers authorized at such
time to take specified actions pursuant to this Indenture, which Officers’
Certificate may be signed by any person authorized to sign an Officers’
Certificate, including any person specified as so authorized in any such
certificate previously delivered and not superseded.


 


SECTION 7.04.  Not
Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.


 


The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Issuer, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Issuer of Securities or the proceeds thereof.


 


SECTION 7.05.  May Hold
Securities.


 


The Trustee,
any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the Issuer, in
its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and, subject to Sections 7.08 and 7.13, may otherwise deal with the
Issuer with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.


 


SECTION 7.06.  Money Held
in Trust.


 


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


 


SECTION 7.07.  Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


Each of the Issuer and the
Guarantors, jointly and severally agrees


 


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


 


(2)  except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable


 


46

















 


compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as shall be determined to have been caused by its own negligence or
willful misconduct; and


 


(3)  to fully indemnify each of the
Trustee or any predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold it
harmless against, any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense
including taxes (other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee)
incurred without negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts
hereunder, including the costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.


 


As security
for the performance of the obligations of the Issuer under this
Section the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, except funds held in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.


 


If the Trustee
incurs expenses or renders services after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in clause (5) or (6) of Section 6.01, the expenses and the
compensation for the services will be intended to constitute expenses of
administration under Bankruptcy Law.


 


The provisions
of this Section 7.07 shall survive the resignation or removal of the
Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.


 


SECTION 7.08.  Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


The Trustee
for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period
of time provided for therein.  In
determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest as defined in
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities
of any series, there shall be excluded this Indenture with respect to
Securities of any particular series of Securities other than that series.  Nothing herein shall prevent the Trustee
from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to
last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.


 


SECTION 7.09.  Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at
all times be a corporate Trustee hereunder which complies with the requirements
of Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, having a combined capital
and surplus of at least $50,000,000, subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authority and having its Corporate Trust Office in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York.  If
such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in
the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.


 


47

















 


SECTION 7.10.  Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


(a)  No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 7.11.


 


(b)  The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer.  If the instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered
to the Trustee within 10 days after the giving of such notice of resignation,
the resigning Trustee at the expense of the Issuer may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series.


 


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


 


(d)  If
the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 10
calendar days after the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee being
removed may, at the expense of the Issuer, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.


 


(e)  If at
any time:


 


(1)  the Trustee shall fail to
comply with Section 7.08(a) after written request therefor by the Issuer
or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months, or


 


(2)  the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Issuer or by any such Holder, or


 


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


 


then, in any
such case, (i) the Issuer by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 6.14, any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.


 


(f)  If the Trustee shall resign, be
removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the
office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Issuer, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it
being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect
to the Securities of one or more or all of such


 


48

















 


series and that at any time there shall be
only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and
shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11.  If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Issuer and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Issuer.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Issuer or the
Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 7.11,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.


 


(g)  The
Issuer shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by mailing
written notice of such event to all Holders of Securities of such series as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register.  Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.


 


SECTION 7.11.  Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.


 


(a)  In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Issuer 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
Issuer or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of
its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.


 


(b)  In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Issuer, the retiring
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein
each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the
retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring
Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture
as shall be


 


49

















 


necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Issuer or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.


 


(c)  Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Issuer shall execute any and all
instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Trustee all rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or
(b) of this Section, as the case may be.


 


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


 


SECTION 7.12.  Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business.


 


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


 


SECTION 7.13.  Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Issuer.


 


The Trustee is subject to Section 311(a)
of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed 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 indicated therein.

to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.


 


SECTION 11.03.  Money for
Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.


 


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

(and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit
with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any)
or interest, if any, so becoming due, such


 


56

















 


sum to be held
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal (and
premium, if any) or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Issuer will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.


 


If the Issuer

Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee,
subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:


 


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

any, on the Securities of that series; and


 


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


 


The Issuer may
at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge with
respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder or for any other
reason, pay or by Issuer Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee
all sums held in trust for any such series by the Issuer or such Paying Agent,
such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which
such sums were held by the Issuer 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.


 


Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Issuer in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal (and premium, if any) or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request subject to applicable abandoned property
and escheat law, or (if then held by the Issuer) shall be discharged from such
trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured
general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof, and all
liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money,
and all liability of the Issuer as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Issuer cause to be published
once a week for two consecutive weeks (in each case on any day of the week) in
an Authorized Newspaper notice that such money remains unclaimed and that,

or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings.

before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of
such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall
extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the
obligations of the Issuer and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such
term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

SECTION 12.02.  Election to
Redeem; Notice to Trustee.


 


The election
of the Issuer to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution.  In case of any redemption
at the election of the Issuer of the Securities of any series, the Issuer
shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Issuer
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed.  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 Issuer shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction.


 


SECTION 12.03.  Selection
by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.


 


If less than
all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities
to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair
and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series; provided, however,
that Securities of such series registered in the name of the Issuer shall be
excluded from any such selection for redemption until all Securities of such
series not so registered shall have been previously selected for redemption.


 


The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Issuer in writing of the Securities selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption,
the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.


 


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

(1)  the Redemption Date,


 


(2)  the Redemption Price,


 


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


 


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


 


(5)  that interest, if any, accrued
to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice,


 


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


 


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


 


Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Issuer shall be
given by the Issuer or, at the Issuer’s request, by the Trustee in the name and
at the expense of the Issuer.  No such
notice shall be given at any time when the Issuer or the Trustee shall have
received notice that there exists a default specified in the first paragraph of
Section 4.03 or that such a default will exist at the date fixed for such
redemption or as a result of such redemption.


 


SECTION 12.05.  Deposit of
Redemption Price.


 


Prior to 10:00
a.m. New York time on any Redemption Date, the Issuer shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Issuer is acting as Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 11.03) an amount of
money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities
which are to be redeemed on that date.


 


SECTION 12.06.  Securities
Payable on Redemption Date.


 


Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified, and from and after such date (unless the Issuer shall
default in the payment of


 


61

















 


the Redemption
Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Issuer at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the
Redemption Date, provided, however, that installments of interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.


 


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


 


SECTION 12.07.  Securities
Redeemed in Part.


 


Any Security
which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment
therefor (with, if the Issuer or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by,
or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Issuer and the
Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing), and the Issuer shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security
or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested
by such Holder, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the security so surrendered.  Securities in denominations larger than
$1,000 may be redeemed in part, but only in whole multiples of $1,000.


 


SECTION 12.08.  Securities
No Longer Outstanding After Notice to Trustee and Deposit of Cash.


 


If the Issuer,
having given notice to the Trustee as provided in Section 12.02, shall
have deposited with the Trustee or a Paying Agent, for the benefit of the
Holders of any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for
redemption in whole or in part cash or other form of payment if permitted by
the terms of such Securities (which amount shall be immediately due and payable
to the Holders of such Securities or portions thereof), in the amount necessary
so to redeem all such Securities or portions thereof on the Redemption Date and
provision satisfactory to the Trustee shall have been made for the giving of
notice of such redemption, such Securities or portions thereof, shall
thereupon, for all purposes of this Indenture, be deemed to be no longer
Outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall be entitled to no rights thereunder
or hereunder, except the right to receive payment of the Redemption Price,
together with interest accrued to the Redemption Date, on or after the
Redemption Date of such Securities or portions thereof.

fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

delivered.  Not less than 30 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to

the submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of
the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting
as it shall think fit.

meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Issuer or by Holders
of Securities as provided in Section 15.03, in which case the Issuer or
the Holders of Securities calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like
manner appoint a temporary chairman.  A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by

time to time, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further
notice.

appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting
for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of
the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at
the meeting.  A record in duplicate of

the secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the
original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat
and affidavits by one or more Persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was

in this Article Fifteen.


 


SECTION 15.09.  No Delay of
Rights by Meeting.

contained in this Article shall be deemed or construed to authorize or
permit, by reason of any call of a meeting of Holders of Securities of any or

such call, any hindrance or delay in


 


67

















 


the exercise
of any right or rights conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or the Holders
of Securities of any or all such series under any provisions of this Indenture
or the Securities.


 


ARTICLE SIXTEEN



GUARANTEE


 


SECTION 16.01.   Subsidiary Guarantee


 


Each of the
Guarantors hereby, jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guarantees
to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to
the Trustee and its successors and assigns, irrespective of the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Securities or the obligations of the
Issuer hereunder or thereunder, that:  (a) the principal of, and
premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Securities will be
promptly paid in full when due, whether at maturity, by acceleration,
redemption or otherwise, and interest on the overdue principal of, premium and
Additional Interest, if any, and interest on the Securities, if any, if lawful,
and all other obligations of the Issuer to the Holders or the Trustee hereunder
or thereunder will be promptly paid in full or performed, all in accordance
with the terms hereof and thereof; and (b) in case of any extension of
time of payment or renewal of any Securities or any of such other obligations,
the same will be promptly paid in full when due or performed in accordance with
the terms of the extension or renewal, whether at stated maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise; provided, however,
that the maximum liability of a Guarantor pursuant to this Guarantee shall in
no event exceed the Maximum Guaranteed Amount (as defined below).  Failing payment when due of any amount so
guaranteed or any performance so guaranteed for whatever reason, the Guarantors
will be jointly and severally obligated to pay the same immediately.  The
Guarantors hereby agree that their obligations hereunder shall be absolute and
unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of
the Securities or this Indenture, the absence of any action to enforce the
same, any waiver or consent by any Holder of the Securities with respect to any
provisions hereof or thereof, the recovery of any judgment against the Issuer,
any action to enforce the same or any other circumstance which might otherwise
constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of a guarantor other than
the defense that payment has been made or that the other relevant obligations
have been paid or performed.  Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence,
presentment, demand of payment, claim of fraud, filing of claims with a court
in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Issuer, any right to require a
proceeding first against the Issuer, protest, notice and all demands whatsoever
and covenant that this Guarantee will not be discharged except by complete
performance of the obligations contained in the Securities and this
Indenture.  If any Holder or the Trustee is required by any court or
otherwise to return to the Issuer or Guarantors, or any Custodian, trustee, liquidator
or other similar official acting in relation to either the Issuer or
Guarantors, any amount paid by either to the Trustee or such Holder, this
Guarantee, to the extent theretofore discharged, shall be reinstated in full
force and effect.  Each Guarantor agrees that it shall not be entitled to
any right of subrogation in relation to the Holders in respect of any
obligations guaranteed hereby until payment in full of all obligations
guaranteed hereby.  Each Guarantor further agrees that, as between the
Guarantors, on the one hand, and the Holders and the Trustee, on the other
hand, (x) the maturity of the obligations guaranteed hereby may be
accelerated as provided in Article 6 for the purposes of this Guarantee,
notwithstanding any stay, injunction or other prohibition preventing such
acceleration in respect of the obligations guaranteed hereby, and (y) in
the event of any declaration of acceleration of such obligations as provided in
Article 6, such obligations (whether or not due and payable) shall
forthwith become due and payable by the Guarantors for the purpose of this
Guarantee.  The Guarantors shall have the right to seek contribution from
any non-paying Guarantor so long as the exercise of such right does not
impair the rights of the Holders under the Guarantee.


 


68

















 


The “Maximum
Guaranteed Amount” means, with respect to any Guarantor, the amount which
allows the Guarantee to be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law,
limited only to the extent necessary for the Guarantee to not constitute a
fraudulent conveyance.


Each Guarantor
shall be subrogated to all rights of each Holder of any Securities against the
Issuer in respect of any amounts paid to the Holders by such Guarantor pursuant
to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided
that the Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive, any
payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the
principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if any, and interest on all the
Securities shall have been paid in full and nothing remains owed to the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture.


The Guarantee
set forth in this Section 10.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory
for any purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of
authentication on such Security shall have been signed by or on behalf of the
Trustee.


No
Unrestricted Subsidiary shall become a guarantor of any Indebtedness of the
Issuer or any Restricted Subsidiaries unless such Unrestricted Subsidiary becomes
a guarantor of the Securities.


SECTION 16.02.  Execution and Delivery of Guarantee


 


To evidence
its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 hereof, each Guarantor hereby
agrees that a notation of such Guarantee substantially in the form of
Exhibit A-1 shall be endorsed by an officer of such Guarantor on
each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this
Indenture shall be executed on behalf of such Guarantor by its President or one
of its Vice Chairmen or Vice Presidents.


Each Guarantor
hereby agrees that its Guarantee set forth in Section 10.01 shall remain
in full force and effect notwithstanding any failure to endorse on each
Security a notation of such Guarantee.


If an officer
or Officer whose signature is on this Indenture of on the Guarantee no longer
holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security on which a
Guarantee is endorsed, the Guarantee shall be valid, binding and enforceable
nevertheless.


The delivery
of any Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder,
shall constitute due delivery of the Guarantee set forth in this Indenture on
behalf of the Guarantors.


SECTION 16.03.  Guarantors May Consolidate, etc., on
Certain Terms


 


(a)  Except
as set forth in Articles 9 and 11 hereof, nothing contained in this
Indenture or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger
of a Guarantor with or into the Issuer or another Guarantor or shall prevent
any sale or conveyance of the property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially
as an entirety, to the Issuer or another Guarantor.  Upon any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the
Guarantee given by such Guarantor shall no longer have any force or effect.

(b)  Except
as set forth in Articles 9 and 11 hereof, nothing contained in this Indenture
or in any of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of a
Guarantor with or into a corporation or corporations other than the Issuer or
another Guarantor (whether or not affiliated with the Guarantor), or successive
consolidations or mergers in which a Guarantor or its successor or successors
shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale or conveyance of the
property of a Guarantor as an entirety or substantially as an entirety, to a
corporation other than the Issuer or another Guarantor (whether or not
affiliated with the Guarantor) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided that each such Guarantor is sold
or disposed of for fair market value, evidenced by a resolution of the Board of
Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate delivered to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the foregoing
proviso shall not apply to the sale or disposition of a Guarantor in a
foreclosure proceeding to the extent that such proviso would be inconsistent
with the Uniform Commercial Code.  Upon
any such consolidation, merger, sale or conveyance, the Guarantee given by such
Guarantor shall no longer have any force or effect.


 


SECTION 16.04.  Releases Following Sale of Assets


 


Concurrently
with any sale of assets (including, if applicable, all of the capital stock of
any Guarantor), any Liens in favor of the Trustee in the assets sold thereby
shall be released; provided that
any such assets are sold or disposed of for fair market value, evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee and, provided,
further, that, the foregoing proviso shall not apply to the sale or
disposition of a Guarantor in a foreclosure proceeding to the extent that such
proviso would be inconsistent with the Uniform Commercial Code.  If the assets sold in such sale or other
disposition include all or substantially all of the assets of any Guarantor or
all of the capital stock of any Guarantor, then such Guarantor (in the event of
a sale or other disposition of all of the capital stock of such Guarantor) or
the corporation acquiring the property and such Guarantor (in the event of a
sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a
Guarantor) shall automatically be released and relieved of its obligations
under this Article 16, provided
that any such sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
a Guarantor is sold or disposed of for fair market value, evidenced by a
resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in an Officer’s Certificate
delivered to the Trustee and, provided,
further, that the foregoing proviso shall not apply to the sale or
disposition of a Guarantor in a foreclosure proceeding to the extent that such
proviso would be inconsistent with the Uniform Commercial Code.  Upon
delivery by the Issuer to the Trustee of an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such sale or other disposition was made
by the Issuer in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee
shall execute any documents reasonably required in order to evidence the
release of any Guarantor from its obligations under its Guarantee.  Any
Guarantor not released from its obligations under its Guarantee shall remain
liable for the full amount of principal of and interest on the Securities and
for the other obligations of any Guarantor under the Indenture as provided in
this Article 16.

SECTION 16.05.  "Trustee" to Include Paying
Agent


 


In case at any
time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the
Issuer and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this
Article 16 shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require)
be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning
as fully and for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in
this Article 16 in place of the Trustee.


SECTION 16.06.  Existing and Additional Subsidiary
Guarantees


 


The Issuer
shall (a) cause each Subsidiary which, after the date of this Indenture
(if not then a Guarantor), becomes a Restricted Subsidiary to execute a
Guarantee of the Obligations of the Issuer hereunder in the form set forth in
this Article 16 hereof and the form of global Note attached hereto, provided that no Subsidiary organized
outside of the United States of America, Unrestricted Subsidiary, Partially
Owned Restricted Subsidiary or Securitization Subsidiary shall be required to
be a Guarantor, and (b) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, in
form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, that such Subsidiary Guarantee is
a valid, binding and enforceable obligation of such Restricted Subsidiary,
subject to customary exceptions for bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance and
equitable principles and the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing.

SECURITY


SECTION
17.01.  Pledge Agreement


 


(a)  To secure the due and punctual payment of
the obligations of the Company under this Indenture and the Securities,
together with the other obligations secured thereby, the Company and the
Collateral Agent entered into the Pledge Agreement to create the security
interest in the Collateral and related matters.  The Trustee and the Company hereby acknowledge and agree that the
Collateral Agent holds the Collateral in trust for the equal and ratable
benefit of the Holders and the Trustee and the other parties secured under the
Pledge Agreement pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement. Upon the
release and discharge of the collateral under the Pledge Agreement, any Lien
created in favor of the Securities as a result of the Pledge Agreement will be
automatically released.


 


(b)  Each Holder, by accepting a Security, agrees
to all of the terms and provisions of the Pledge Agreement, as the same may be
amended from time to time pursuant to the provisions of the Pledge Agreement
and this Indenture, and authorizes and directs the Collateral Agent to perform
its obligations and exercise its rights under the Pledge Agreement in
accordance therewith; provided, however, that if any provisions
of the Pledge Agreement limit, qualify or conflict with the duties imposed by
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trust Indenture Act will
control.


 


SECTION 17.02.  Release of Collateral.


 


The Collateral may be
released from the security interest created by the Pledge Agreement at any time
or from time to time in accordance with the provisions of the Pledge Agreement
and as provided by Section     of this
Indenture.  To the extent applicable,
the Company and each obligor on the Securities shall cause § 314(d) of the
Trust Indenture Act relating to the release of property or securities from the
Lien hereof and of the Pledge Agreement to be complied with.  Any certificate or opinion required by §
314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act may be made by an officer of the Company,
except in cases which § 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act requires that such
certificate or opinion be made by an independent person.
