and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Fourteen, or (3) a combination of any such record and one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by proxies or agents duly appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such record and/or instrument or instruments are
delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such record or instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein
sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
proxy or agents shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this
Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 14.6. 


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


        (c)   The
principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer
Securities or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or other depository, wherever situated, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such
depository, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate
or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit
bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, (3) such Bearer Security is
surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding. 


        (d)   The
fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing pursuant to Subsection (c) above, the authority of the Person executing the same and the
principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved in any other manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Clause.

        (e)   The principal amount and serial numbers of Registered Securities held by any Person and the date of holding the same shall be proved by the Security Register. 


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


        (g)   Whenever
any Act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more series of Securities denominated in different currencies (or currency units), then, for the
purpose of determining the principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency (or any currency unit) shall be
deemed to be that amount determined by the Company or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate as of the date of the taking of such Act by the
Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the Trustee to be equal to the Dollar equivalent obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency or
currency unit into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on such date (or, in the case of a Security denominated in a currency unit for which there is no Market Exchange Rate, the Dollar equivalent
obtained by adding together the results obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for each such Component Currency on such date)
of the principal amount (or, in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security, the principal amount thereof that would be due and payable as of the declaration of acceleration of the Maturity
thereof pursuant to Section 6.2) of such Security. An Exchange Rate Agent may be authorized in advance or from time to time by the Company. Any such determination by the Company or by any such
Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the Company and the Trustee, and neither the Company nor any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad
faith. 


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

Holder's address as it appears in the Security Register, within the time prescribed for the giving of such notice, and

        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 to Holders of Registered Securities in the
manner specified above, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder. In case by reason of the
suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as
provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose

        (b)   In
any case where notice to a Holder of Registered Securities is given in any manner specified in Subsection (a) above, such notice shall be conclusively presumed

neither the failure to deliver, mail or send such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or sent, to any particular Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Neither the failure to give notice by publication to
Holders of Bearer Securities as provided in Subsection (a) above, nor any defect in any notice so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered Securities given
as provided herein. 


        (c)   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 of Securities 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.

plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee. Each Security shall bear the appropriate legends, if any, as required by U.S. Federal tax law and
regulations. 


        SECTION
4.2    EXECUTION, DELIVERY, DATING AND AUTHENTICATION    


        The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by a manual or facsimile signature of its Chairman, its President, any of its Vice Presidents, its Treasurer, any Assistant
Treasurer, its Secretary, any Assistant Secretary or any person acting in a similar capacity, under its corporate seal reproduced thereon. Any Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the
manual or facsimile signature of any such officer of the Company. In case any of the above referenced officers of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities or Coupons shall cease to be
such officer before the Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered
or disposed of as though the person who signed such Securities and/or Coupons had not ceased to be such officer; and any Securities or Coupons may be signed on behalf of the Company by such persons
as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security or Coupon, shall be such officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such person was not such officer. 


        At
any time and from time to time, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together (except in the case of any Medium-Term Debt Securities) with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order (or, in the case of Medium-Term Debt Securities of any series, upon receipt of a Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate and in accordance with the terms
thereof) shall authenticate and make available for delivery such Securities; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified in the Board Resolution (or, in the case of any Bearer Securities that
are Medium-Term Debt Securities in the Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate) with respect to an Bearer Securities, in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer
Security (including any temporary Bearer Security issued pursuant to Section 4.3 which is not in global form) shall be mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and
PROVIDED FURTHER that, unless otherwise specified in the Board Resolution (or, in the case of any Bearer Securities that are Medium-Term Debt Securities, in the Medium-Term 


21







 



Debt
Securities Certificate) with respect to such Bearer Securities, such Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer
Security (including any temporary Bearer Security issued pursuant to Section 4.3 which is not in global form) shall have furnished to the Company or any agent, underwriter or selling group
member a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.1 to this Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of the date on which such Bearer Security is
delivered and the date on which any temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. In connection
with the original issuance of any Bearer Security and unless otherwise specified in the Board Resolution (or, in the case of any Bearer Securities that are Medium-Term Debt Securities, in
the Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate) with respect to such Bearer Securities, a confirmation substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.5 to this Indenture shall be
sent to each purchaser thereof. If any Security shall be represented by a definitive Global Bearer Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 4.3, 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 its original issuance of
such beneficial owner's interest in such definitive Global Bearer Security. Except as permitted by Section 4.5, the Trustee shall not authenticate and make available for delivery any Bearer
Security unless all appurtenant Coupons for interest then matured have been detached and canceled. 


        The
Trustee shall not be required to authenticate Securities of any series 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, or if the Trustee determines that such action may not lawfully be taken. 



        Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.1(b)(2), each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication, and each Bearer Security and any Bearer Security
in global form shall be dated as of the date of original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 


        No
Security or Coupon 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 below 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. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and
sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 4.8 together with a written statement (which need not comply with
Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security
shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 



        The
Trustee's certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form: 



        Dated: 




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

        SECTION
4.3    TEMPORARY SECURITIES    


        Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order (or, in the case of Medium-Term Debt Securities, receipt of
the Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate with respect to such Medium-Term Debt Securities) the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary
Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which
they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced conclusively by their execution of such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form. 


        Except
in the case of temporary Global Securities (which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions of the following subsections), if temporary Securities of any series are
issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities
of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to
Section 11.2 in a Place of Payment for such series for the purpose of exchanges of Securities of such series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons) the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange therefor a like
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series and of like tenor or authorized denominations; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; PROVIDED FURTHER that a definitive
Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance with the conditions set forth in Section 4.2. 


        If
temporary Bearer Securities of any series are issued in global form, such temporary Global Bearer Securities shall, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or
Section 3.1, as the case may be, be delivered to the London office of the Depositary, for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL Bank, societe anonyme ("CEDEL"), for credit to the
respective accounts of the beneficial owners of interests in such Securities (or to such other accounts as they may direct). 



        Without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary Global Security (the "Exchange Date"), the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities, in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such temporary Global Security, executed by the Company. On or after the
Exchange Date such temporary Global Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as the Company's agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for
definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such temporary Global Security, an equal aggregate principal
amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary Global Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be
delivered in exchange for any such temporary Global Security shall be in bearer form, registered form, definitive Global form or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as requested by the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, upon such presentation by the Depositary, such temporary Global Security shall be accompanied by a
certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate dated
the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to the portion of such temporary Global Security held for its account then to be exchanged, each in the 


23







 



form
set forth in Exhibit B.2 to this Indenture; PROVIDED FURTHER that definitive Bearer Securities (including a definitive Global Bearer Security) shall be delivered in exchange for a portion
of a temporary Global Security only in compliance with the requirements of Section 4.2. 


        Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, the interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
Global Bearer Security shall be exchanged for definitive Bearer Securities of the same series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the beneficial owner instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as
the case may be, to request such exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.1 to this
Indenture, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date, copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of Euroclear, CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent
appointed for such series of Securities and any Paying Agent appointed for such series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the
case may be, any such exchange shall be made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear the cost of
insurance, postage, transportation and the like in the event that such Person does not take delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. The definitive Bearer
Securities to be delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary Global Security shall be delivered only outside the United States. 


        Until
exchanged in full as provided above, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of
the same series and of like tenor authenticated and delivered hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be,
interest payable on a temporary Global Bearer Security on an Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL
on such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by
Euroclear and CEDEL to the Trustee of a certificate or certificates substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.3 to this Indenture, for credit without further interest on or after such
Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of the Persons who are the beneficial owners of such temporary Global Security (or to such other accounts as they may direct) on such Interest Payment
Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit B.4 to this Indenture. Any interest so received by
Euroclear and CEDEL and not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee immediately prior to the expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be repaid to the
Company in accordance with Section 11.3. 


        SECTION
4.4    REGISTRATION, REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE    


        The
Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 11.2 a register (being the combined register of the Security
Registrar and all additional transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 11.2 for the purpose of registration of transfer of Securities and sometimes collectively referred to as the
"Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities and the registration of transfers of
Registered Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed the initial Security Registrar, with the Security Register initially to be kept
at                                         
       at all reasonable times each register
maintained by the Security Registrar and any additional transfer agents shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. 



        Subject
to Section 4.11, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to
Section 11.2 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a 


24







 



like
aggregate principal amount and tenor. At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange. the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, Bearer Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities. 



        Subject
to Section 4.11, at the option of the Holder and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, Bearer
Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer
Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default appertaining thereto. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any
such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured
Coupon or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing
Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save
each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been
made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2, interest represented by Coupons shall be
payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is
surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of business at such office or agency on (1) any Regular Record
Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (2) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment,
as the case may be, and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 



        Whenever
any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, the Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. 


        Notwithstanding
the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, any definitive Global Bearer Security shall
be exchangeable only as provided in this Subsection. If the beneficial owners of interests in a definitive Global Bearer Security are entitled to exchange such interests for Securities of such series
and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, then without
unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of such definitive Global Bearer Security, executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such definitive
Global Bearer Security shall be surrendered by the Depositary or such other depositary or Depositary) as shall be specified in the Company Order or Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate,
as the case may be, with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the Company's 


25







 



agent
for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange
for each portion of such definitive Global Bearer Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion
of such definitive Global Bearer Security to be exchanged which, unless the Securities of the series are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, as specified as
contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, as shall be specified by
the beneficial owner thereof; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such exchanges may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days before any selection of Securities of that
series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date; PROVIDED FURTHER that no Bearer Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a definitive Global Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a definitive Global Bearer Security after the close of business at the
office or agency where such exchange occurs on (1) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (2) any
Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as
the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such definitive Global Bearer Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. 


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



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


        No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 4.3, Section 10.6 or Section 12.7
not involving any transfer. 


        The
Company shall not be required (1) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 Business Days
before any selection of Securities of that series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on (i) if Securities of the series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of
the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption and (ii) if Securities of the series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of redemption
or, if Securities of the series are also issuable as Registered Securities and there is no publication, the day of mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (2) to register the transfer
of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part, or (3) to exchange any Bearer
Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series and like tenor; PROVIDED that such Registered Security shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption. 


26









   
        SECTION 4.5    MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST AND STOLEN SECURITIES    


        If
any mutilated Security or Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding with Coupons corresponding
to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered Security, PROVIDED that if such new Security is a Bearer Security, such Security shall be delivered only outside the United States. 


        If
there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (1) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon and (2) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or
Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security
or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains (upon surrender to the Trustee of such Security with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a
new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains. 


        In
case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new
Security or Coupon, pay such Security or Coupon; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in
Section 11.2, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case
may be, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto. 


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



        Every
new Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall constitute an original additional
contractual
obligation of the Company, whether or not the mutilated, 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 or Coupons 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 or Coupons. 


        SECTION
4.6    PAYMENT OF INTEREST; INTEREST RIGHTS PRESERVED    


        Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Registered 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 Company, interest on the Registered Securities of any series that bears interest may be paid by
mailing a check to the address of any Holder as such address shall appear in the Security Register. 


27







 



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



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


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




        If
any installment of interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption pursuant to Article Twelve is not paid or duly
provided for on or prior to the Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section, such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such Securities. 



        Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 4.4, 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
4.7    PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS    


        Prior
to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Sections 4.4, 4.6 and 4.11
and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such
Security is overdue, and neither 


28







 



the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 



        Title
to any Bearer Security and any Coupons shall pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and
the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof (unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.2 or Section 3.1,
as the case may be) and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary. 


        SECTION
4.8    CANCELLATION    



        All
Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee. All Securities and Coupons so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. All Bearer Securities and unmatured Coupons held by the Trustee
pending such cancellation shall be deemed to be delivered for cancellation for all purposes of this Indenture and the Securities. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation
any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the
Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered to the Trustee shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled
Securities and Coupons held by the Trustee shall be disposed of in a manner selected by the Trustee unless otherwise directed by a Company Order; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Trustee may, but shall not
be required to, destroy such canceled Securities and Coupons. 


        SECTION
4.9    COMPUTATION OF INTEREST    



        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series
shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 


        SECTION
4.10    CURRENCY AND MANNER OF PAYMENT IN RESPECT OF SECURITIES    


        The
provisions of this Section shall apply to the Securities of any series unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be. 



        (a)   The
following payment provisions shall apply to any Registered Security of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or any currency unit, including without
limitation, the ECU, except as provided in Subsection (b) below: 



        (1)   Except
as provided in Subsection (a)(2) or in Subsection (e) below, payment of principal of and premium, if any, on such Registered Security will be made at the
Place of Payment by delivery of a check in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is denominated on the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any interest on any
Registered Security will be paid at the Place of Payment by mailing a check in the currency or currency unit in which such interest is payable (which shall be the same as that in which the Security is
denominated unless otherwise provided) to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person appearing on the Security Register. 


        (2)   Payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other place or

29







 





        (b)   With
respect to any Registered Security of any series denominated in any currency unit, including without limitation, the ECU, if the following provisions (or any
substitute therefor, or addition thereto, not inconsistent with this Indenture) are established pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, and if the Company has not,
before the delivery of the election referred to in Clause (1) below, deposited funds or securities in compliance with Section 5.1 or Subsection (a)(1) or (if specified pursuant to
Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be) Subsection (a)(2) of Section 5.3, the following payment provisions shall apply to any payment to be made prior to the giving of any
notice to Holders of any election to redeem pursuant to Section 12.4, except as otherwise provided in Subsections (e) and (f) below: 



        (1)   A
Holder of Securities of a series shall have the option to elect to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities in a
currency or currency unit (including Dollars), other than that in which the Security is denominated, such election, as designated in the certificates for such Securities (or as provided by
Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, or a supplemental indenture hereto with respect to uncertificated securities), shall be made by delivering to the Paying Agent a written
election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Paying Agent, not later than the close of business in New York, New York, on the day 15 days prior to the applicable payment date. Such
election will remain in effect for such Holder until changed by the Holder by written notice to the Paying Agent (but any such written notice must be received by the Paying Agent not later than the
close of business on the day 15 days prior to the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change may be made with respect to payments to be
made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article Twelve). Any Holder of any such Security who shall not have delivered
any such election to the Paying Agent in accordance with this Subsection (b) will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency unit as provided in Subsection
(a) of this Section. Payment of principal of and premium, if any, shall be made on the payment date therefor against surrender of such Security. Payment of principal, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, shall be made at the Place of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or currency unit, to the Holder entitled thereto at the address of such Holder
appearing on the Security Register. 


        (2)   Payment
of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other place or
places as may be designated by the Company by any appropriate method. 




        (c)   Payment
of the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Bearer Security will be made, except as provided in Section 4.3 with respect to
temporary Global Securities, unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, and/or Section 10.1(8), at such place or places outside the
United States as may be designated by the Company pursuant to any applicable laws or regulations by any appropriate method in the currency or currencies or currency unit or units in which the Security
is payable (except as provided in Subsection (e) below) on the payment date therefor against surrender of the Bearer Security, in the case of payment of principal and premium, if any, or the
relevant Coupon, in the case of payment of interest, if any, to a Paying Agent designated for such series pursuant to Section 11.2. 


        (d)   Not
later than ten Business Days (with respect to any Place of Payment) prior to each payment date, the Paying Agent shall deliver to the Company a copy of its record of
the respective aggregate amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such payment date, in the currency or currency unit in which each of the
Securities is payable, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Registered Securities and Bearer Securities and in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities
denominated in any currency unit shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currency unit as provided in Subsection 


30







 



(b) above.
If the election referred to in Subsection (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, and if at least one Holder
has made such election, then, not later than the fifth Business Day (with respect to any Place of Payment) prior to the applicable payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Exchange Rate
Officers' Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The Dollar or Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by
Holders of Registered Securities denominated in a currency unit who have elected payment in another currency or currency unit as provided in Subsection (b) above shall be determined by the
Company on the basis of the applicable Official Currency Unit Exchange Rate set forth in the applicable Exchange Rate Officers' Certificate. 


        (e)   If
a Foreign Currency in which any Security is denominated or payable ceases to be recognized both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for
the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, or if ECU ceases to be used within the European Monetary System, or if any other currency unit
in which a Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, in each case as determined in good faith by the Company, then with respect to each date
for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the applicable Security denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, ECU or such other currency unit occurring after the
last date on which such Foreign Currency, ECU or such other currency unit was so used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall become the currency of payment for use on each such payment date (but
ECU or the Foreign Currency or the currency unit previously the currency of payment shall, at the Company's election, resume being the currency of payment on the first such payment date preceded by 15
Business Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to the Dollar becoming such currency no longer prevail, in each case as determined in good faith by the Company). The Dollar amount to be
paid by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holder of such Security with respect to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in
the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the currency unit, as determined by the Exchange Rate Agent (which shall be delivered in writing to the Trustee not later than the fifth Business
Day prior to the applicable payment date) as of the Conversion Date or, if later, the date most recently preceding the payment date in question on which such determination is possible of performance,
but not more than 15 days before such payment date (such Conversion Date or date preceding a payment date as aforesaid being called the "Valuation Date") in the manner provided in Subsection
(g) or (h) below. 


        (f)    If
the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in a currency unit elects payment in a specified Foreign Currency or currency unit as provided for by Subsection
(b) and such Foreign Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the
international banking community, or if ECU ceases to be used within the European Monetary System, or if another currency unit ceases to be used for the purposes for which it is established, in each
case as determined in good faith by the Company, such Holder shall (subject to Subsection (e) above) receive payment in the currency unit in which the Security is denominated. Each payment
covered by an election pursuant to Subsection (b) above shall be governed by the provisions of this Subsection (f) (but, subject to any contravening valid election pursuant to Subsection
(b) above, the specified Foreign Currency or ECU or other currency unit shall, at the Company's election, resume being the currency or currency unit, as applicable, of payment with respect to
Holders who have so elected, but only with respect to payments on payment dates preceded by 15 Business Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to such currency unit becoming the currency
unit of payment, no longer prevail, in each case as determined in good faith by the Company). 


        (g)   The
"Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be obtained by converting the
specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date. 


31







 



        (h)   The
"Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the Exchange Rate Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be the sum obtained by adding together
the results obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date for such Component Currency. 



        (i)    For
purposes of this Section 4.10 the following terms shall have the following meanings: 



        A
"Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including without limitation, the ECU. 


        A
"Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units (including decimals) which such Component Currency represented in the relevant currency unit, on the
Conversion Date or, if ECU and such currency unit is being used for settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities or was so used after the Conversion Date,
the Valuation Date or the last date the currency unit was so used, whichever is later. If after such date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision,
the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after such date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the
respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component
Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after such date any Component
Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by specified amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which, at the
Market Exchange Rate of such two or more currencies on the date of such replacement, shall be equal to the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency and such amounts shall thereafter be
Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. 


        "Market
Exchange Rate" shall mean, as of any date, for any currency or currency unit the noon Dollar buying rate for that currency or currency unit, as the case may be, for cable
transfers quoted in New York City on such date as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or such other rate as may be established pursuant to Section 2.2 or
Section 3.1, as the case may be. If such rates are not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies or currency units for which an Exchange Rate is required, the Exchange
Rate Agent shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or
more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency or currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Exchange Rate Agent shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise
specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if there is more than one market for dealing in any currency or currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in
respect of such currency or currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency unit would, as determined in its sole discretion and
without liability on the part of the Exchange Rate Agent, purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities. 




        All
decisions and determinations of the Exchange Rate Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit and the Market Exchange
Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders of the Securities and Coupons
denominated or payable in the relevant currency or currency units. In the event that a Foreign Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the
settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, the Company, after 


32







 

learning
thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders) specifying the
Conversion Date. In the event the ECU ceases to be used within the European Monetary System, or any other currency unit in which Securities or Coupons are denominated or payable, ceases to be used for
the purposes for which it was established, the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner
provided in Section 1.6 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. Any actions taken pursuant to the parentheticals at the end of the first sentence of Section 4.10(e) and at the
end of Section 4.10(f) shall be promptly set forth in like notices from the Company to the Trustee and then from the Trustee to the Holders (which notice may be mailed with payment to the
Holders). 


        Subject
to the provisions of Sections 7.1 and 7.3, the Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the
Exchange Rate Agent, and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently. 


        SECTION
4.11    SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM    


        (a)   If
Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, then,
notwithstanding Subsection (a)(8) of Section 2.2 or Subsection (b)(9) of Section 3.1, as the case may be, and the provisions of Section 4.1, such Security shall represent such of
the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and
that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced or increased to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount,
or any increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be
specified therein or in the Company Order (or, in the case of Medium-Term Debt Securities, the Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate) to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant
to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3. Subject to the provisions of Section 4.2 and, if applicable, Section 4.3, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive
global bearer form in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Company Order (or, in the case of Medium-Term Debt
Securities, the Medium-Term Debt Securities Certificate). If a Company Order (or, in the case of Medium-Term Debt Securities, Medium-Term Debt Securities
Certificate) pursuant to Section 4.2 or 4.3 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement of delivery or redelivery of a Security in
global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 


        (b)   Any
Global Security shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or its nominee, shall be delivered by the Trustee or its
agent to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary's instruction and shall bear a legend substantially to the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the
individual Securities represented hereby, this Global 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." 


        (c)   Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Section 4.11 or of Section 4.4 and subject to the provisions of Subsection (d) below, unless the terms
of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part and in the
manner provided in Section 4.4, only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or approved by
the Company, or to a nominee of such successor Depositary. 


        (d)   (1)
If at any time the Depositary for a Global Security notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or if at
any time the Depositary 


33







 



for
the Securities for such series ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act or other applicable statute or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with
respect to such Global Security. If a successor Depositary for such Global Security is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of
such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent, upon receipt of a company Request for the authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange
for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security in exchange for such Global Security. 


        (2)   The
Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or issuable in the form of one or more
Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver individual Securities of such series of like
tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security or Securities representing such series or portion thereof in exchange for such
Global Security or Securities. 


        (3)   If
specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 2.2 and 3.1 with respect to Securities issued or issuable in the form of a Global Security, the Depositary for such
Global Security may surrender such Global Security in exchange in whole or part for individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to
the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge, (i) to each Person specified by such
Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange
for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and (ii) to such Depositary a new Global Security of like tenor and terms and in an authorized 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 the Holders thereof. 



        (4)   In
any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three Clauses, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will authenticate and deliver individual
Securities in definitive registered form in authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a Global Security for individual Securities, such Global Security shall be
cancelled by Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding Clause, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or the Security
Registrar. The Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver such Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered. 


        (e)   The
provisions of the last sentence of the fifth paragraph of Section 4.2 shall apply to any Security represented by a Global Security if such Security was never
issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the Global Security together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 1.2 and need not be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the fifth
paragraph of Section 4.2. 


34









   
        (f)    Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.6, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, payment
of principal of and any premium and any interest on any Global Security shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. 


        (g)   Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 4.7 and except as provided in the preceding Subsection, the Company, and any agent of the Company may, and the Trustee
and any agent of the Trustee, at the direction of the Company, may treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented by a definitive Global Security as shall
be specified in a written statement of the Holder of such definitive Global Security or, in the case of a definitive Global Security in bearer form, of Euroclear or CEDEL which is produced to the
Trustee by such Person; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that none of the Company, the Trustee, the Security Registrar or any Paying Agent shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records
relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests. 


        SECTION
4.12    CUSIP, ISIN AND COMMON CODE NUMBERS    


        The
Company in issuing the Securities may use a "CUSIP," "ISIN" or "Common Code" number, and if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code number in notices of redemption
or exchange as a convenience to Holders; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP, ISIN and Common Code number
printed in the notice or on the Securities, and the reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities. The Company shall promptly notify the trustee of any
change in any CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code number. 


ARTICLE FIVE

from the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case, to the effect that, and
based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of Securities of such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 




37







 





defeasance

        (B)  in
the event of the covenant defeasance option, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of Securities of
such series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same

6.2    ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT    


        If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series (except in the case of an Event of Default specified in Clause (5) or Clause (6) of
Section 6.1) 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, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount), together with accrued interest thereon, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default specified in Clause (5) or Clause (6) of Section 6.1 occurs, such principle amount shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or
other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder. 


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



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



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


        (ii)   the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities without duplication of any amount thereof paid or deposited pursuant to Clause (i) above or Clause (iii) below, 


        (iii)  to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities without duplication
of any amount thereof paid or deposited pursuant to Clause (i) above or Clause (ii) above, and 




40







 





        (iv)  in
Dollars, 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. 


        SECTION
6.3    COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY TRUSTEE    


        The
Company covenants that if: 



        (1)   default
shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any Security or Coupon as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall
have continued for the period of grace provided for with respect to such Security or Coupon, as the case may be, 


        (2)   default
shall be made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security as and when the same shall have become due and payable (subject to
Clause (3) below), whether at maturity of the Security or upon redemption or by declaration or otherwise, and such default shall have continued for any period of grace provided for with respect
to such Security, or 


        (3)   default
shall be made in the payment for any sinking, purchase or analogous fund provided for in respect of any Security as and when the same shall become due and
payable, and such default shall have continued for any period of grace provided for with respect to such Security, 




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


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


        If
an Event of Default with respect to Securities and Coupons, if any, 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 and/or Coupons 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.

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,

of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee,

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

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. 




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


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

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

in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, given pursuant to 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. 




        (d)   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

48







 



        SECTION

and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such corporation or Person 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 or Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the Company shall serve as trustee for the Securities of any
series issued hereunder. 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

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 Company. If the instrument of acceptance
by a successor Trustee required by Section 7.11 shall not have been delivered to the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning
Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 



        (c)   The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of removal, the removed Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series. 


        (d)   If
at any time: 



        (1)   the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act pursuant to Section 7.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of a series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting interest for at least six months; or 


        (2)   the
Trustee for a series shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.9 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder of
Securities of such series; or 


        (3)   the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting; or 


        (4)   the
Trustee shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take charge or
control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all 



49







 




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 (and, in the case of Clause (1) above, who is a
holder of a Security of a series as to which the Trustee has a conflicting interest) may, on behalf of himself or herself 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 with respect to such series, or in the case of Clause (4) above
with the respect to all series. 




        (e)   If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Trustee for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood
that any such successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more of or all such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any particular series) and such successor Trustee or Trustees 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 Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with
the applicable requirements of Section 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
Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by
Section 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. 


        (f)    The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series by giving notice of such event to all Holders of Securities of such series as provided by Section 1.6. 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 Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee
and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder. 


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


50







 



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



        (c)   Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor
Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in Subsection (a) or Subsection (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 that 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 COMPANY    


        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. 


        SECTION
7.14    JUDGMENT CURRENCY    


        The
Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that if for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation
of the Company hereunder or under any Security or Coupon, it shall become necessary to convert into any other currency or currency unit any amount in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or
under such Security or Coupon, then such conversion shall be made at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) as in effect on the date the Company shall make payment to any Person in satisfaction of
such judgment. If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date other than the date payment is made and there shall occur a change between such Conversion Rate and the Conversion
Rate as in 


51







 



effect
on the date of payment or distribution, the Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, to pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary
to ensure that the amount paid is the amount in such other currency or currency unit which, when converted at the Conversion Rate as in effect on the date of payment or distribution, is the amount
then due hereunder or under such Security or Coupon. Any amount due from the Company under this Section 7.14 shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be affected by or merged into any
judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder or in respect of any Security or Coupon so that in any event the Company's obligations hereunder or under such Security or Coupon will be
effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit. In no event, however, shall the Company be required to pay more in the currency or currency unit stated to be due hereunder or
under such Security or Coupon. 


        For
purposes of this Section 7.14, "Conversion Rate" shall mean, as of any date, for any currency or currency unit into which an amount due hereunder or under any Security or
Coupon is to be converted, the noon buying rate in the other currency or currency unit for that currency or currency unit for cable transfers quoted in New York City on such date as certified for
customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such rates are not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies or currency units for which a Conversion Rate is
required, the Exchange Rate Agent shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or
quotations from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency in question, or such other quotations as the Exchange Rate Agent shall deem appropriate. Unless
otherwise specified by the Exchange Rate Agent, if there is more than one market for dealing in a currency or currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be
used in respect of such currency or currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency or currency unit would, as determined in its sole discretion
and without liability on the part of the Exchange Rate Agent, purchase such currency or currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such Securities. If there does not exist a quoted exchange
rate in any currency or currency unit (the "First Currency") for another currency unit (the "Second Currency"), then the Conversion Rate for the Second Currency shall be equal to equivalent amount in
the First Currency obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency of the Second Currency into the First Currency at the Conversion Rate (determined as provided above) for each
such Component Currency on such date (or, if the First Currency is a currency unit for which there is no quoted exchange rate in any Component Currency, by converting the Specified Amount of each
Component Currency of the Second Currency into the Specified Amount of each Component Currency of the First Currency at the Conversion Rate (determined as provided above) for each such Component
Currency on such date). 


        SECTION
7.15    APPOINTMENT OF AUTHENTICATING AGENT    


        The
Company may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon original issue or upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 4.5, and Securities so authenticated shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Trustee and shall at
all times be a corporation having a combined capital and surplus of not less than the equivalent of $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, state or District of Columbia
authority or the equivalent foreign authority, in the case of an Authenticating Agent who is not organized and doing business under the laws of the 


52







 



United
States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set
forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section. 


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


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


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


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

        If
all the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located
in a Place of Payment or other place where the Company wishes to have Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Company shall appoint in accordance with this Section an
Authenticating Agent (which may be an Affiliate of the Company if eligible to be appointed as an Authenticating Agent hereunder) having an office in such Place of Payment or other place designated by
the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

        SECTION
10.2    SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF HOLDERS    



        With
the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series affected by such supplemental indenture (acting as one class),
by Act of said Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of Securities of such series under this indenture; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security affected thereby,

        For
purposes of this Section 10.2, if the Securities of any series are issuable upon the exercise of warrants, each holder of an unexercised and unexpired warrant with respect to
such series shall be deemed to be a Holder of Outstanding Securities of such series in the amount issuable upon the exercise of such warrant. For such purposes, the ownership of any such warrant shall
be determined by the Company in a manner consistent with customary commercial practices. The Trustee for such series shall be entitled to rely on an Officers' Certificate as to the principal amount of

series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this
Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series. 


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

protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,

this Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of Securities theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby, unless it makes a change described in any of
Clauses (1) through (4) of Section 10.2, in which case, the supplemental indenture shall bind only each Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt
as the consenting Holder's Security; PROVIDED that any such waiver shall not impair or affect the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal and premium of and interest on a Security, on or
after the respective dates set for such amounts to become due and on or after such respective dates. 


        SECTION
10.5    CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT

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


ARTICLE ELEVEN  


 COVENANTS  


        SECTION
11.1    PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM AND INTEREST    


        The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities and Coupons, if any, that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and
interests if any, on the Securities and Coupons, if any, of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and Coupons, if any, of such series and this Indenture. 


        SECTION
11.2    MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY    


        If
Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for such series an office or agency where Securities of that
series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as both Registered or Bearer Securities or only as Bearer Securities, the Company will
maintain (1) in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where any
Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where notices and demands to or upon the Company
in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that series and related Coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment in the
circumstances described in the proviso contained in the last sentence of this first paragraph of Section 11.2 (and not otherwise), (2) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United States, an office or agency where Securities of that series and related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for
payment (including payment of any additional amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 11.5); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Securities of that series are listed on any
stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that series in any required city located
outside the United States, so long as the Securities of that series are listed on such exchange, and (3) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a Place of Payment for that
series located outside the United States, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee and the Holders of the location, and any change in the location, of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency in
respect of any series of Securities or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations and surrenders of Securities of that series may be made and notices and demands
may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that series and the related Coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment (including payment
of any additional amounts payable on Bearer Securities of that series pursuant to Section 11.5) at the London 


59







 

office
of the Trustee (or an agent with a London office appointed by the Trustee and acceptable to the Company), and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to receive such respective
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. No payment of principal, premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check
mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if the Securities of a series are denominated and
payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and interest on any Bearer Security (including any additional amounts payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 11.5)
shall be made at the office of the Company's Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest
or additional amounts, as the case may be, at all offices or agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively
precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. 


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


        SECTION
11.3    MONEY FOR SECURITIES PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST    


        If
the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any, on)
or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the relevant currency (or a sufficient number of
currency units, as the case may be) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any, on) 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. 


        Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, at or prior to the opening of business on each due date of the principal of (and premium,
if any, on) or interest, if any, on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act. 


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



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


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


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




        The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to
pay, to the 


60







 

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



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


        The
Company initially authorizes the Trustee to act as Paying Agent for the Securities on its behalf. The Company may at any time and from time to time authorize one or more Persons to
act as Paying Agent in addition to or in place of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture. 


        SECTION
11.4    STATEMENT BY OFFICERS AS TO DEFAULT    


        The
Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year if any Securities are outstanding under this Indenture, a written certificate signed by
the chairman, chief executive officer, the chief financial officer, the chief accounting officer of the Company or any person acting in a similar capacity, stating that: 



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


        (2)   to
his or her knowledge, based on such review, the Company has fulfilled all its obligations, and has complied with all conditions and covenants, under this Indenture
throughout such year, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, condition or covenant, specifying each such default known to him or her and the nature and status
thereof. 




For
purposes of this Section 11.4, compliance shall be determined without regard to any grace period or requirement of notice provided pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. 



        SECTION
11.5    ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS    


        If
the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or any related Coupon additional amounts as
provided therein. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or payment
of any related Coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of additional amounts provided
for in this Section to the extent that, in such context, additional amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to the provisions of this Section and express mention of the
payment of additional amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as excluding additional amounts in those provisions hereof where such express mention is not made. 


61









   
        If the Securities of a series provide for the payment of additional amounts, at least 10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of Securities
(or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of
payment of principal and any premium or interest if there has been any change with respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers' Certificate, the Company will furnish the Trustee
and the Company's Paying Agent or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers' Certificate instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such payment of
principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related Coupons who are United States Aliens (as defined in such
Securities) without withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental charge described in the Securities of that series. If any such withholding shall be required, then such
Officers' Certificate shall specify by country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such Payments to such Holders of Securities or Coupons and the Company will pay to the Trustee or such
Paying Agent the additional amounts required by this Section. The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense
reasonably incurred without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers' Certificate furnished
pursuant to this Section.

 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES  


        SECTION
12.1    APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE    


        The
Company may reserve the right to redeem and pay before Stated Maturity all or any part of the Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase fund or
analogous obligation or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, and
on such terms as are specified in such form or in the Board Resolution or indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as provided in Section 2.2 or
Section 3.1, as the case may be. Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, for Securities of any series) in accordance with this Article. 


        SECTION
12.2    ELECTION TO REDEEM; NOTICE TO TRUSTEE    



        If

series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities (1) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in
this Indenture, or (2) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers'

less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series 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

statement of the facts permitting such redemption, that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon each Security redeemed, that payment will be made upon presentation
and surrender of the applicable Securities, that all Coupons, if any, maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption shall be void, that any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid
as specified in said notice, that the redemption is pursuant to the sinking fund, if such is the case, and that on and after said Redemption Date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be
redeemed will cease to accrue unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price (including any applicable accrued interest). If less than all the Securities of any series are to
be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the registration and, if any, CUSIP, ISIN or Common Code numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, and, if only Bearer Securities of
any series are to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities, the last date on which exchanges of Bearer Securities for Registered Securities not subject to
redemption may be made. In case any Security of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall
state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof and with appropriate Coupons will be issued, or, in the case of Registered Securities providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holders, the
Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. 



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


        SECTION
12.5    DEPOSIT OF REDEMPTION PRICE    


        On
or before 11:00 a.m. on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own paying Agent, segregate
and hold in trust as provided in Section 11.3) an amount of money in the relevant currency (or a sufficient number of currency units, as the case may be) sufficient to pay the Redemption Price
of, and (except if the 


63







 



Redemption
Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 


        SECTION
12.6    SECURITIES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE    



        Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest
appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together
with all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption
Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the
United States (except otherwise provided in Section 11.2) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, only upon presentation
and surrender of Coupons for such interest; PROVIDED FURTHER that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, installments of interest
on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 4.6. 



        If
any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from
the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any
Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 11.2) and, unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 2.2 or Section 3.1, as the case may be, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons. 


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


        SECTION
12.7    SECURITIES REDEEMED IN PART    



        Any
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities (with appropriate Coupons) of the same series and Stated
Maturity, 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
or, in the case of Registered Securities providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holder, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may
make a notation on such Security of the Payment of the redeemed portion thereof.

provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.2
or Section 3.1, as the case may be, for Securities of such series. 


        The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any payment in
excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment." If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 13.2. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series. 


        SECTION
13.2    SATISFACTION OF SINKING FUND PAYMENTS WITH SECURITIES    


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


        SECTION
13.3    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES FOR SINKING FUND    


        Not
less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount
of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 13.2 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities (including all unmatured Coupons
appertaining thereto) to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment
date in the manner specified in Section 12.3 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 12.4. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 12.6 and 12.7.

the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have made the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 20 days after receipt of such request or shall not

14.4    QUORUM; ACTION    


        The
Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such series. In
the absence of a quorum within 30 minutes of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such series, be dissolved. In any other

prior to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. 


        Except
as limited by the proviso to Section 10.2, and subject to the provisions described in the next succeeding paragraph, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned
meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given
or taken by the Holders of a specified percentage, which is equal to or less than a majority, in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned

        With
respect to any consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of a specified percentage of Outstanding Securities of all series
affected thereby (acting as one class), only the principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series represented at a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present,
held in accordance with this Section, and voting in favor of such action, shall be counted for purposes of calculating the aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of all series affected
thereby favoring such action. 


        SECTION
14.5    DETERMINATION OF VOTING RIGHTS; CONDUCT AND ADJOURNMENT OF MEETINGS    



        (a)   Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of
Securities of a series in regard to proof of the holding of Securities of such series and of the appointment of proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the
submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it shall deem appropriate. Except as
otherwise permitted or required by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner specified in Section 1.4 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 1.4 or by having the signature of the person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company, bank or banker authorized by Section 1.4 to
certify to the holder of Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof
specified in Section 1.4 or other proof. 


        (b)   The
Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of
Securities as provided in Section 14.2(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary
chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of such
series represented at the meeting. 


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



        (d)   Any
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called pursuant to Section 14.2 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons

chairman of the 


67







 



meeting
shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified
written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more persons having
knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 14.2 and, if applicable, Section 14.4. Each copy
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by
the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated. 


ARTICLE FIFTEEN  


 SUBORDINATION  


        SECTION
15.1    AGREEMENT TO SUBORDINATE    


        The
Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of payment, to the extent and in the manner
provided in this Article Fifteen, to the prior payment of all Senior Indebtedness, and that such subordination is for the benefit of and enforceable by the holders of Senior Indebtedness. Only
indebtedness of the Company which is Senior Indebtedness shall rank senior to the Securities in accordance with the provisions set forth herein. All provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be subject
to Section 15.12. 


        SECTION
15.2    LIQUIDATION, DISSOLUTION, BANKRUPTCY    


        Upon
any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to creditors upon a total or partial liquidation or a total or partial dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its respective properties: 



        (1)   holders
off Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled to receive ayment in full of the Senior Indebtedness before the Holders of ecurities shall be entitled to receive any
payment of principal of or nterest on other amounts with respect to the Securities; and 


        2)    until
the Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, any distribution to which the Holders of Securities would be entitled but for this Article Fifteen shall be made to holders
of Senior Indebtedness as their interests may appear, 




except,
in the case of Clauses (1) and (2), that Holders of Securities may receive shares of share capital and any debt securities that are subordinated to Senior Indebtedness to at least the
same extent as the Securities and do not provide for the payment of principal prior to the Stated Maturity of all Senior Indebtedness. 


        The
consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company with or into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company following the conveyance, transfer or
lease of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Nine hereof shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company for the purposes of this Article if the Person
formed by such consolidation or the surviving entity of such merger of the Person which acquires by conveyance, transfer or lease such properties and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case
may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer or lease, comply with the conditions set forth in such Article Nine. 


68







 



        SECTION
15.3    DEFAULT ON SENIOR INDEBTEDNESS    



        The
Company may not pay the principal of or interest on or other amounts with respect to the Securities, make any deposit pursuant to Section 11.3 or repurchase, redeem or
otherwise retire any Securities (collectively, "pay the Securities") if (1) any Senior Indebtedness is not paid when due or (2) any other default on Senior Indebtedness occurs and the
maturity of such Senior Indebtedness is accelerated in accordance with its terms unless, in either case, (i) the default has been cured or waived and any such acceleration has been rescinded or
(ii) such Senior Indebtedness has been paid in full; provided, however, that the Company may pay the Securities without regard to the foregoing if the Company and the Trustee receive written
notice approving such payment from the Representatives of
the Senior Indebtedness with respect to which either of the events set forth in Clause (1) or (2) of the immediately preceding sentence has occurred or is continuing. During the
continuance of any default with respect to any Designated Senior Indebtedness, pursuant to which the maturity thereof may be accelerated immediately without further notice (except such notice as may
be required to effect such acceleration) or the expiration of any applicable grace periods, the Company may not pay the Securities for a period (a "Payment Blockage Period") commencing upon the
receipt by the Trustee (with a copy to the Company) of written notice (a "Blockage Notice") of such default from the Representative of such Designated Senior Indebtedness specifying an election to
effect a Payment Blockage Period and ending 90 days thereafter (or earlier if such Payment Blockage Period is terminated (1) by written notice to the Trustee and the Company from the
Person or Persons who gave such Blockage Notice, (2) by repayment in full of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, or (3) because the default giving rise to such Blockage Notice is no
longer continuing). Notwithstanding the provisions described in the immediately preceding sentence (but subject to the provisions contained in the first sentence of this Section), unless the holders
of such Designated Senior Indebtedness or the Representative of such holders shall have the maturity of such Designated Senior Indebtedness, the Company may resume payments on the Securities after
such Payment Blockage Period. Not more than one Blockage Notice may be given in any consecutive 360-day period. No Event of Default which existed or was continuing on the date of the
commencement of any Blockage Period with respect to the Designated Senior Indebtedness shall be, or be made, the basis for commencement of a second Blockage Period by the Representative of such
Designated Senior Indebtedness whether or not within a period of 360 consecutive days, unless such event of default shall have been cured or waived for a period of not less than 90 consecutive days
(it being acknowledged that any subsequent action, or any breach of any financial covenants for a period commencing after the date of commencement of such Blockage Period that, in either case, would
give rise to an event of default pursuant to any provisions under which an event of default previously existed or was continuing shall constitute a new event of default for this purpose). 



        SECTION
15.4    ACCELERATION OF PAYMENT OF SECURITIES    


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



        SECTION
15.5    WHEN DISTRIBUTIONS MUST BE PAID OVER    


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


69







 



        SECTION
15.6    SUBROGATION    


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


        SECTION
15.7    RELATIVE RIGHTS    


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



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


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




        If
any payment or distribution to which the Holders would otherwise have been entitled but for the provisions of this Article Fifteen shall have been applied, pursuant to the provisions
of this Article Fifteen, to the payment of all amounts payable under the Senior Indebtedness of the Company, then and in such case the Holders shall be entitled to receive from the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness at the time outstanding any payments or distributions received by such holders of such Senior Indebtedness in excess of the amount sufficient to pay all amounts payable under or in
respect of such Senior Indebtedness in full in cash or cash equivalents. 


        SECTION
15.8    SUBORDINATION MAY NOT BE IMPAIRED BY COMPANY    


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


        SECTION
15.9    RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AND PAYING AGENT    


        Notwithstanding
Section 15.3, 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 trust officer of the Trustee receives notice satisfactory to it that
payments may not be made under this Article Fifteen. The Company, the Registrar or co-registrar, the Paying Agent, a Representative or a holder of Senior Indebtedness may give the notice;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that, if an issuer of Senior Indebtedness has a Representative, only the Representative may give the notice. 


        The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may hold Senior Indebtedness with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. The Registrar and co-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 Fifteen with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, which may at any time be
held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness; and nothing in Article Seven shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder. Nothing in this Article Fifteen
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Article Seven. 


70







 



        SECTION
15.10    DISTRIBUTION OR NOTICE TO REPRESENTATIVE    



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


        SECTION
15.11    ARTICLE FIFTEEN 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 Fifteen shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default.
Nothing in this Article Fifteen shall have any effect on the right of the Holders of Securities or the Trustee to accelerate the maturity of the Securities. 



        SECTION
15.12    TRUST MONEYS NOT SUBORDINATED    


        Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, payments from money or the proceeds of U.S. government obligations held in trust under Section 11.3 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, or subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article Fifteen,
and none of the Holders of Securities shall be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company, or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company or any other creditor of the Company. 



        SECTION
15.13    TRUSTEE ENTITLED TO RELY UPON ANY PAYMENT OR DISTRIBUTION    


        Pursuant
to this Article Fifteen, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities shall be entitled to rely (1) upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which
any proceedings of the nature referred to in Section 15.2 are pending, (2) upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making such payment or distribution to
the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or (3) upon the Representatives for the holders of Senior Indebtedness for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, and other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all
other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Fifteen. 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 to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Fifteen, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness held by such Person, 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 Fifteen, and, if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to
receive such payment. 


        SECTION
15.14    TRUSTEE TO EFFECTUATE SUBORDINATION    


        Each
Holder of Securities by accepting a Security authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the
