Section 2.03                            Denominations:
Provisions for Payment.


 


The Securities
shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations of one
thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to
Section 2.01(10).  The Securities
of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate
specified with respect to that series. 
The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as
well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity,
shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that
at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York.  Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.  Interest on the Securities shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.


 


The interest
installment on any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall
be paid to the Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular record date
for such interest installment.  In the
event that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for
redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with
respect to any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date,
interest on such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such
Security as provided in Section 3.03.


 


Any interest
on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided
for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein
called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
registered holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been
such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its
election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:


 


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


 


8

















 


Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such
Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such
special record date.


 


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


 


Unless
otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures
supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant
to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this
Section with respect to a series of Securities and any Interest Payment Date
for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month immediately
preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such
series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest
Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the first day of the month in
which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the
fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.


 


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


 


Section 2.04                            Execution
and Authentications.


 


The Securities
shall be signed on behalf of the Company by one of its Officers.  Signatures may be in the form of a manual or
facsimile signature.


 


The Company
may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been an Officer,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be such an
officer of the Company.  The Securities
may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage.  Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.


 


A Security
shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of
the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. 
Such signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so
authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the
holder is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.  At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series
executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written
order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities,
signed by an Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order
shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.


 


In
authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to


 


9

















 


Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.


 


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


 


Section 2.05                            Registration

the City and State of New York, for other Securities of such series of
authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount, upon
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in
relation thereto, all as provided in this Section.  In respect of any Securities so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency
shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities of the same
series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to
receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.


 


(b)                                  The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for
such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or
such other location designated by the Company, a register or registers (herein
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and
the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all
reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee.  The registrar for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfer of Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as
authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).


 


Upon surrender
for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated
for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and
such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or
transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security
presented for a like aggregate principal amount.


 


All Securities
presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided
in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the
Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.


 


(c)                                  Except
as provided pursuant to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and
set forth in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures
supplemental to this Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any
exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities
in case of partial redemption of any series, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in
relation thereto, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06,
Section 3.03(b) and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.


 


10

















 


(d)                                  The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the transfer
of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the
Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of business
on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for redemption, other
than the unredeemed portion of any such Securities being redeemed in part.  The provisions of this Section 2.05
are, with respect to any Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.


 


Section 2.06                            Temporary
Securities.


 


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

or Stolen Securities.


 


In case any
temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute,
and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall
authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number
not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the
mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so
destroyed, lost or stolen.  In every
case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and
the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each
of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the
applicant shall also furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and
of the ownership thereof.  The Trustee
may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the
written request or authorization of any officer of the Company.  Upon the issuance of any substituted
Security, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.


 


11

















 


In case any
Security that has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be
destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute
Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof
except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment
shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they
may require to save them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft,
evidence to the satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction,
loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.


 


Every
replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this
Section shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall
be found at any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder.  All Securities shall be held and owned upon
the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities, and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) any and all other rights
or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted
to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.


 


Section 2.08                            Cancellation.


 


All Securities
surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of
transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be
cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as
expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions of this
Indenture.  In the absence of such
request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its
standard procedures and deliver a certificate of disposition to the
Company.  If the Company shall otherwise
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.


 


Section 2.09                            Benefits
of Indenture.


 


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


 


12

















 


Section 2.10                            Authenticating
Agent.


 


So long as any
of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an
Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee
shall have the right to appoint.  Said
Authenticating Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or
partial redemption thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  All references in this Indenture to the
authentication of Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include
authentication by an Authenticating Agent for such series.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined
capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient
under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it
is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized
under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authorities. 
If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with these provisions, it shall resign immediately.


 


Any
Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of
resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. 
The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company shall)
terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon resignation, termination or cessation
of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible
successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company.  Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally named
as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.


 


Section 2.11                            Global
Securities.


 


(a)                                  If
the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities
of a particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04,
authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and shall
be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of, all of
the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered in the name
of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to
the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear
a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise provided
in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in
whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the Depositary or to a
successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.”


 


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


 


13

















 


(c)                                  If
at any time the Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if
at any time the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in
good standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or
regulation, and a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the
Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware
of such condition, as the case may be, or if an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the Company has received a request from the Depositary,
this Section 2.11 shall no longer be applicable to the Securities of such
series and the Company will execute, and subject to Section 2.04, the
Trustee will authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in
an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global
Security of such series in exchange for such Global Security.  In addition, the Company may at any time
determine that the Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a
Global Security and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no
longer apply to the Securities of such series. 
In such event the Company will execute and, subject to Section 2.04,
the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate evidencing such
determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the Securities of
such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized
denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal
amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such Global
Security.  Upon the exchange of the
Global Security for such Securities in definitive registered form without
coupons, in authorized denominations, the Global Security shall be canceled by
the Trustee.  Such Securities in
definitive registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant
to this Section 2.11(c) shall be registered in such names and in such
authorized denominations as the Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its
direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee.  The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to
the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such Securities are
so registered.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND
PROVISIONS


 


Section 3.01                            Redemption.


 


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


 


Section 3.02                            Notice
of Redemption.


 


(a)                                  In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the
case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with any
right the Company reserved for itself to do so pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give notice of such
redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by
mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption not less than
30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for redemption of that
series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall appear upon the
Security Register, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to be
redeemed.  Any notice that is mailed in
the manner herein


 


14

















 


provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the registered holder receives the notice.  In any case, failure duly to give such
notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for redemption in
whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect the validity of
the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of such series or
any other series.  In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with any such restriction.


 


Each such
notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the
redemption price at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and
shall state that payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed
will be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of
such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be
paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will
cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the
case.  If less than all the Securities
of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that
series to be redeemed in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so
redeemed.


 


In case any
Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such
Security shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed, and shall state that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender
of such Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal
amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.


 


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


 


Section 3.03                            Payment
Upon Redemption.


 


(a)                                  If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided,
the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified
in such


 


15

















 


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


 


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


 


Section 3.04                            Sinking
Fund.


 


The provisions
of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.


 


The minimum
amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of
Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment”.  If provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be
subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05.  Each sinking fund payment shall be applied
to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.


 


Section 3.05                            Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.


 


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


 


16

















 


Section 3.06                            Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.


 


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

Section 4.02                            Maintenance
of Office or Agency.


 


So long as any
series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an
office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York,
with respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may
be designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of
that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Securities of that series may be
presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange,
and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such
designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company
shall, by written notice signed by any officer authorized to sign an Officers’
Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency
for such purposes or any of them.  If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.  The Company initially appoints the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of
New York as its paying agent with respect to the Securities.

Section 4.03                            Paying
Agents.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums
in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of
Section 11.05, and (ii) the Company may at any time, for the purpose of
obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other
purpose, pay, or direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held
in trust by the Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by
the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the Company or any
paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such money.

each regular record date (as defined in Section 2.03) a list, in such form
as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the

contained in the most recent list furnished to it as provided in
Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of holders of Securities

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND SECURITYHOLDERS
ON EVENT OF DEFAULT


 


Section 6.01                            Events
of Default.


 


(a)                                  Whenever
used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of
Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is
continuing:


 


(1)                                 the
Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the
Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable,
and such default continues for a period of 90 days; provided, however, that a
valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in accordance with
the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default
in the payment of interest for this purpose;


 


20

















 


(2)                                 the
Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and
payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or
in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with
respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the
maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture
supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal
or premium, if any;


 


(3)                                 the
Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements
with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise
established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been
expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more
series of Securities other than such series) for a period of 90 days after the
date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied
and stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have
been given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or
to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal
amount of the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;


 


(4)                                 the
Company pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law (i) commences a
voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in
an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or
for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes a general assignment
for the benefit of its creditors; or


 


(5)                                 a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that
(i) is for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a
Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of its property or (iii)
orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or decree remains unstayed
and in effect for 90 days.


 


(b)                                  In
each and every such case (other than an Event of Default specified in clause
(4) or clause (5) above), unless the principal of all the Securities of that
series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on all
the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any
such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and
payable.  If an Event of Default
specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above occurs, the principal of and
accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series shall
automatically be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other
act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the Securities.


 


(c)                                  At
any time after the principal of (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and
unpaid interest on the Securities of that series shall have been so declared
due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the
moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that
series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i)
the Company has


 


21

















 


paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured
installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon
such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is
enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such
payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under
Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture
with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on (and
premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on Securities of that
series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied
or waived as provided in Section 6.06.


 


No such
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default
or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


(d)                                  In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to
Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceedings, the
Company and the Trustee shall be restored respectively to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such proceedings had been
taken.


 


Section 6.02                            Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.


 


(a)                                  The
Company covenants that (i) in case it shall default in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or in any payment
required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that
series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default
shall have continued for a period of 90 Business Days, or (ii) in case it shall
default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the
Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether
upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon
declaration or otherwise then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay
to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that
series, the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on
all such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both,
as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any)
and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum
expressed in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.


 


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


 


22

















 


manner provided by law or equity out of the property of the Company or
other obligor upon the Securities of that series, wherever situated.


 


(c)                                  In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affecting the
Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to
intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted
by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled
to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of
Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the
Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and
for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after
such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction
of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by
each of the holders of Securities of such series to make such payments to the
Trustee, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due
it under Section 7.06.


 


(d)                                  All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of
the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its
own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under
Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities
of such series.


 


In case of an
Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in
bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant
or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or equitable right
vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.


 


Nothing
contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.


 


Section 6.03                            Application
of Moneys Collected.


 


Any moneys or
property collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with respect to
a particular series of Securities shall be applied in the following order, at
the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such
moneys or property on account of principal (or premium, if


 


23

















 


any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of that series,
and notation thereon of the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:


 


FIRST: To the
payment of all indebtedness of the Company to which such series of Securities
is subordinated to the extent required by Section 7.06 and
Article Fourteen;


 


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


 


THIRD: To the
payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully
entitled thereto as requested by the Company.


 


Section 6.04                            Limitation
on Suits.


 


No holder of
any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any
provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in
equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
(i) such holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an
Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities
of such series specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii)
the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such series then Outstanding shall have made written request upon
the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as
Trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or holders shall have offered to the
Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses
and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 90 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 90
day period, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of
that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.


 


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


 


24

















 


Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be
entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


 


Section 6.05                            Rights
and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.


 


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


 


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


 


Section 6.06                            Control
by Securityholders.


 


The holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall have
the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
on the Trustee with respect to such series; provided, however, that such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or
officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to
the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would involve the Trustee
in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not
involved in the proceeding.  The holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with
Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of
such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants
contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to
such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that
series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities
otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any
premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with
Section 6.01(c)).  Upon any such
waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.


 


25

















 


Section 6.07                            Undertaking
to Pay Costs.


 


All parties to
this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or
omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or group of
Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this
Indenture.


 


ARTICLE 7


 


CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE


 


Section 7.01                            Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.


 


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


 


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


 


(i)                                    prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a
series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with
respect to that series that may have occurred:


 


(A)                               the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of
such series be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture,
and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the Securities of such
series except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and


 


26

















 


(B)                               in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may with
respect to the Securities of such series conclusively rely, as to the truth of
the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or
opinions that by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished
to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to
determine whether or not they conform to the requirement of this Indenture;


 


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


 


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


 


(iv)                               None
of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to
it.


 


Section 7.02                            Certain
Rights of Trustee.


 


Except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.01:


 


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


 


(b)                                  Any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the
name of the Company by any authorized officer of the Company (unless other
evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);


 


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


 


(d)                                  The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the
Securityholders pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and


 


27

















 


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


 


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


 


(f)                                    The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or
documents, unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less than
a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular
series affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04);
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee
of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured
to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture,
the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities
as a condition to so proceeding.  The
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Company or,
if paid by the Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and


 


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


 


In addition,
the Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of
Default except (1) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections
6.01(a)(1), 6.01(a)(2) and 4.01 hereof or (2) any Default or Event of Default
of which the Trustee shall have received written notification in the manner set
forth in this Indenture or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
obtained actual knowledge.  Delivery of
reports, information and documents to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is
for informational purposes only and the information and the Trustee’s receipt
of the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including
the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which
the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).


 


Section 7.03                            Trustee
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities.


 


(a)                                  The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same.


 


28

















 


(b)                                  The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture
or of the Securities.


 


(c)                                  The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or
application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any
provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or
for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other
than the Trustee.


 


Section 7.04                            May
Hold Securities.


 


The Trustee or
any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other

would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.


 


Section 7.05                            Moneys
Held in Trust.


 


Subject to the
provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall,
until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for
which they were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.  The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder
except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.


 


Section 7.06                            Compensation
and Reimbursement.


 


(a)                                  The
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust) as the Company and the Trustee may from time to time agree in writing, for
all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of
the Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company
will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith and except as the Company and
Trustee may from time to time agree in writing.  The Company also covenants to indemnify the Trustee (and its
officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises.


 


(b)                                  The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify
the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances shall constitute indebtedness of the Company to
which the Securities are subordinated. 
Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that

of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of
particular Securities.


 


Section 7.07                            Reliance
on Officers’ Certificate.


 


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


 


Section 7.08                            Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.


 


If the Trustee
has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of
Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company
shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the
Trust Indenture Act.


 


Section 7.09                            Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.


 


There shall at
all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which
shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the
District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as
trustee by the Securities and Exchange Commission, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least fifty million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or
examination by federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority.


 


If such
corporation or other Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital
and surplus of such corporation or other Person shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published.  The Company may
not, nor may any Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or
under common control with the Company, serve as Trustee.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
Section 7.10.


 


Section 7.10                            Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.


 


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


 


30

















 


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


 


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


 


(i)                                    the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a
bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or


 


(ii)                                the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
the Company or by any such Securityholder; or


 


(iii)                            the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;


 


then, in any
such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities
and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed
by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or
any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities
for at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the
Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.


 


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


 


(d)                                  Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.


 


31

















 


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


 


Section 7.11                            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 (i) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates,
(ii) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to
confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee,
and (iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the
trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing
herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust
or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible
for any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and
upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation
or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent
provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates
have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the
performance of the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this
Indenture, and each such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company or any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent contemplated by
such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor trustee relates.


 


32

















 


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


 


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


 


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


 


Section 7.12                            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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the
successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the
provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to
the contrary notwithstanding.  In case
any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee
then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.


 


Section 7.13                            Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.


 


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


 


Section 7.14                            Notice
of Default


 


If any Default
or any Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event
of Default is known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall
mail to each Securityholder in the manner and to the extent provided in
Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act notice of the Default or Event
of Default within 45 days after it occurs and becomes known to the Trustee,
unless such Default or Event of Default has been cured; provided, however, that, except in the
case of a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee or a
trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Securityholders.

ARTICLE 8


 


CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS


 


Section 8.01                            Evidence
of Action by Securityholders.


 


Whenever in
this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified
percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular
series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the
giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the
fact that at the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or
specified percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such
holders of Securities of that series in person or by agent or proxy appointed
in writing.


 


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


 


Section 8.02                            Proof
of Execution by Securityholders.


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


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


 


34

















 


Section 8.03                            Who
May be Deemed Owners.


 


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


 


Section 8.04                            Certain
Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.


 


In determining
whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities
of a particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under
this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or
any other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only
Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded.  The Securities so owned
that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the
purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of
the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and
that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or
any such other obligor.  In case of a
dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of
counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.


 


Section 8.05                            Actions
Binding on Future Securityholders.


 


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

add to the covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions relating to the
Company for the benefit of the holders of all or any series of Securities (and
if such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions are to be for the
benefit of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants,
restrictions, conditions or provisions are expressly being included solely for
the benefit of such series), to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and the
continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions an Event of Default, or to surrender any right or
power herein conferred upon the Company;


 


(e)                                  to

provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of
the Securities of any series as provided in Section 2.01, to establish the
form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture or any series of Securities, or to add to the rights of the
holders of any series of Securities;


 


(h)                                 to
evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor

successor in connection with the qualification of this Indenture under the
Trust Indenture Act.


 


36

















 


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


 


Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may be
executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of
any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the
provisions of Section 9.02.


 


Section 9.02                            Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.


 


With the
consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series
affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding,
the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from
time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as
then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner not covered by
Section 9.01 the rights of the holders of the Securities of such series
under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall, without the consent of the holders of each Security then Outstanding and
affected thereby, (a) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities of any
series, or reduce the principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend
the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the
redemption thereof or (b) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities, the
holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture.


 


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


 


Section 9.03                            Effect
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


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

Affected by Supplemental Indentures.


 


Securities of
any series affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered

approved by the Company, provided such form meets


 


37

















 


the requirements of any securities exchange upon which such series may
be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Company shall so determine, new
Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture contained in any such
supplemental indenture may be prepared by the Company, authenticated by the
Trustee and delivered in exchange for the Securities of that series then
Outstanding.


 


Section 9.05                            Execution
of Supplemental Indentures.


 


Upon the
request of the Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required to consent
thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution
of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise,
in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to
enter into such supplemental indenture. 
The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, will be
entitled to receive and will be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel stating that any supplemental indenture
executed pursuant to this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms
to, the terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under
the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof; provided,
however, that such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need not be
provided in connection with the execution of a supplemental indenture that
establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof.


 


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

Consolidate, Etc.


 


Except as
provided pursuant to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures
supplemental to this Indenture, nothing contained in this Indenture shall
prevent any consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other
Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company) or successive
consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor or successors
shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or
other disposition of the property of the Company or its successor or successors
as an entirety, or substantially as an entirety, to any other corporation
(whether or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors)
authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided, however, the Company
hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or merger (in
each case, if the Company


 


38

















 


is not the survivor of such transaction), sale, conveyance, transfer or
other disposition, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (premium,
if any) and interest on all of the Securities of all series in accordance with
the terms of each series, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture with respect to each series or established with respect to such
series pursuant to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company
shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) reasonably
satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the Trustee by
the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have
been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such property.


 


Section 10.02                     Successor
Entity Substituted.


 


(a)                                  In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition and upon the assumption by the successor entity by supplemental
indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory in form to
the Trustee, of the obligations set forth under Section 10.01 on all of
the Securities of all series Outstanding, such successor entity shall succeed
to and be substituted for the Company with the same effect as if it had been
named as the Company herein, and thereupon the predecessor corporation shall be
relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and the
Securities.


 


(b)                                  In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other
disposition, such changes in phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be
made in the Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.


 


(c)                                  Nothing
contained in this Article shall require any action by the Company in the
case of a consolidation or merger of any Person into the Company where the
Company is the survivor of such transaction, or the acquisition by the Company,
by purchase or otherwise, of all or any part of the property of any other
Person (whether or not affiliated with the Company).


 


Section 10.03                     Evidence of
Consolidation, Etc. to Trustee.


 


The Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Officers’ Certificate
or an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation,
merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition, and any such
assumption, comply with the provisions of this Article.

interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for

respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07,
4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10, that shall survive until the date of maturity or

Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such
Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to
become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the
date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited
with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with
respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the
provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4,01, 4.02, 4,03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05
hereof that shall survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid.


 


Thereafter,
Sections 7.06 and 11.05 shall survive.

Moneys to be Held in Trust.


 


All moneys or
Governmental Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01
or 11.02 shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due,

Company.

then held by the Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium, if
any, or interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied
but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two years
after the date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
