(19)    the Person to whom any interest on any Registered Security of the series shall be payable, if other than the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, the manner in which, or the Person to whom, any interest on any Bearer Security of the series shall be payable, if otherwise than upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto as they severally mature and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any interest payable on a temporary Global Security on an Interest Payment Date will be paid if other than in the manner provided in Section 3.04;
(20)    the form of the Securities of the series; and

If any of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the initial issuance of Securities of such series.
SECTION 3.02.    Denominations.  Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of Securities and except as provided in Section 3.03, the Registered Securities of each series, if any, shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof and the Bearer Securities of each series, if any, shall be issuable in the denomination of $5,000. Securities of each series shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee.


SECTION 3.03.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or Controller or its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, under its corporate seal. Such signatures may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such authorized officers and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Any coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by the manual or facsimile signature of any such authorized officer of the Company.


Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form hereinbefore recited, executed by the Trustee, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.

15






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. The Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver such Securities to or upon the written order of the Company, signed by the Chairman of the Board of Directors, the President, or a Vice President and by its Treasurer or Controller or by its Secretary or an Assistant Secretary, or pursuant to such procedures acceptable to the Trustee and such recipients, without any further action by the Company; provided, however, that in connection with its original issuance, a Bearer Security may be delivered only outside the United States and only if the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to delivery of such Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto. 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 shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents specified in Section 314 of the Trust Indenture Act, and in addition:
(a)a Board Resolution relating thereto, and, if applicable, an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant to such Board Resolution, certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company;


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


(c)an Opinion of Counsel prepared in accordance with Section 1.02, which shall also state


(1)that the form and terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Section 10.01(f), or by both such resolution or resolutions and such supplemental indenture, in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;


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


(3)that such Securities when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company in accordance with their terms and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.


The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series if the Trustee reasonably determines that such action may not lawfully be taken, would expose the Trustee to personal liability or would add to the obligations and duties of the Trustee hereunder in any material respect. In addition, prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of a series to be issued, which is denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities of such series if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section and the written order of the Company with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that 

16






(i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend to substantially the following effect: "Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, this Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary."
Each Depositary designated pursuant to Section 3.01 for a Global Security in registered form to be delivered in the United States must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange of Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation.
Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by Section 3.01.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the written order of the Company, Board Resolution, Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued.
SECTION 3.04.    Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of a permanent Global Security or definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon compliance with Section 3.03 the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons, and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities and coupons may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities and coupons. In the case of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global form, representing all or a portion of the Outstanding Securities of such series.


If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 (12) (y) with respect to a series of Securities issuable as Bearer Securities, (a) after the preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for such series and (b) upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any unmatured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided further that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Security unless the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and provided further, delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only 

17






outside the United States; and provided further that neither a beneficial interest in a permanent Global Security in bearer form nor a definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company has reason to know that such certificate is false. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to the payment of interest on Securities in temporary form. Such exchanges shall be made by the Company at its expense and without any charge therefor.
SECTION 3.05.    Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company shall cause to be kept for each series of Registered Securities at one of the offices or agencies maintained in accordance with Section 5.02 a register or registers herein sometimes collectively referred to as the "Security Register" in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of such Registered Securities and of transfers of such Registered Securities. Said office or agency is hereby appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering such Registered Securities and transfers of such Registered Securities as herein provided.


Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at an office or agency maintained in accordance with Section 5.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity.
In no case shall there be more than one Security Register for a series of Registered Securities.
At the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series (except a Global Security) may be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Bearer Securities may not be delivered in exchange for Registered Securities.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive registered form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to the nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor Depositary.
At the option of the Holder except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 (12) (y) with respect to a Global Security issued in bearer form, Registered Securities may be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of the same series (if the Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities) or Bearer Securities of any series may be issued in exchange for Bearer Securities of the same series (if Bearer Securities of such series are issuable in more than one denomination), of any authorized denomination and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining; provided, however, delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured coupon or coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer 

18






Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company if there be furnished to the Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as the Company may require in its sole discretion to save the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02, interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such office or agency in exchange for a Registered Security of the same series after the close of business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Payment Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be.
If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.03, the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Company's election pursuant to Section 3.01(13) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order, Securities of such series in definitive form in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.
The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a written order of the Company for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver as specified in such written order, Securities of such series in definitive form and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.
If specified by the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, without service charge,
(i)    to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such Person's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

19






(ii)    to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.
In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver Securities (a) in definitive registered form in authorized denominations, if the Securities of such series are issuable as Registered Securities, (b) in definitive bearer form in authorized denominations, with coupons attached, if the Securities of such series are issuable as Bearer Securities or (c) as either Registered or Bearer Securities, if the Securities of such series are issuable in either form; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Global Security unless the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and provided further delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States; and provided further that no definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company has reason to know that such certificate is false.
Upon the exchange of a Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be cancelled by the Trustee.  Registered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee.  The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.  The Trustee shall deliver Bearer Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section to the persons, and in such denominations, as the Depositary for such Global Security shall instruct the Trustee; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Global Security unless the Company or its agent shall have received from the person entitled to receive the definitive Bearer Security a certificate substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto; and provided further delivery of a Bearer Security shall occur only outside the United States; and provided further that no definitive Bearer Security will be issued if the Company has reason to know that such certificate is false.
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange Securities of any particular series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of selection of Securities of such series to be redeemed under Section 4.02 and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series selected for redemption, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Registered Security being redeemed in part, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of that series (if the Securities of such series are 

20






issuable as Registered Securities), provided that such Registered Security shall be immediately surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture.
SECTION 3.06.    Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.  If any mutilated Security, or a Bearer Security with one or more mutilated coupons appertaining to it, is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security, with, if Bearer Securities, all coupons corresponding to the coupons surrendered with the surrendered Bearer Security (including mutilated coupons), if any, of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.


If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or coupon and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (upon surrender to the Trustee of such Security with all appurtenant coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security or coupon, pay such Security or coupon; provided, however, that principal of (and premium, if any) and any interest on Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States and unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, any interest on Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the coupons appertaining thereto.
Upon the issuance of any new Security or coupon under this Section, the Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security or coupon of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities or coupons of that series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons.
SECTION 3.07.    Payment of Defaulted Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.  Interest on any Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Registered Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

21








Any interest on any Registered Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election, as provided in either Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing as to the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date.  In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Registered Securities of any series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such Registered 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.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.


SECTION 3.08.    Persons Deemed Owners.  The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security is registered as the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07) interest, if any, on such Registered Security and for all other purposes 

22






whatsoever, whether or not such Registered Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.


The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer Security and the bearer of any coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
SECTION 3.09.    Cancellation.  All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking fund or analogous obligation shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction in respect thereof.


SECTION 3.10.    Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any series, any interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.


SECTION 3.11.    Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities.  The provisions of this Section shall apply to the Securities of any series unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01.
(a)The following payment provisions shall apply to any Registered Security of any series denominated in Dollars, a Foreign Currency or any currency unit, including without limitation ECU, except as provided in paragraph (b) below:


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


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

23






such other place or places by any appropriate method as may be designated by the Company.


(b)With respect to any Registered Security of any series denominated in any Foreign Currency or currency unit, including without limitation ECU, if the following provisions (or any substitute therefor, or addition thereto, not inconsistent with this Indenture) are established pursuant to Section 3.01 or a supplemental indenture hereto and if the Company has not, before the delivery of the election referred to in clause (1) below, deposited funds or securities in compliance with Section 12.01 or (if specified pursuant to Section 3.01) Section 12.02 or provided for the payment of the Securities pursuant to paragraph (a) above, the following payment provisions shall apply to any payment to be made prior to the giving of any notice to Holders of any election to redeem pursuant to Section 4.02, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (e) and (f) below:


(1)A Holder of Registered Securities of a series shall have the option to elect to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Registered Securities in a currency (including Dollars) or currency unit, other than that in which the Registered Security is denominated, as may be designated for such election in the certificates for such Registered Securities (or as provided pursuant to Section 3.01 or a supplemental indenture hereto).  Such election shall be made by delivering to the Trustee a written election, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, not later than the close of business in New York, New York, on the day 15 days prior to the applicable payment date, or, if such payment date is an Interest Payment Date, not later than the close of business in New York, New York, on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date.  Such election will remain in effect for such Holder until changed by the Holder by written notice to the Trustee (but any such written notice must be received by the Trustee not later than the close of business on the day 15 days prior to the next payment date, or, if such payment date is an Interest Payment Date, the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date, to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Registered Security of such series with respect to which notice of redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article Four).  Following delivery of such election to the Trustee and until such election is changed, payment of principal and premium, if any, will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check in the currency or currency unit so elected on the payment date therefor against surrender of such Registered Security and payment of interest, if any, shall be made at the Place of Payment by mailing a check in the currency or currency unit so elected to the Holder entitled thereto at the address of such Holder appearing on the Security Register.  Any Holder of any such Registered Security who shall not have delivered any election to the Trustee in accordance with this paragraph (b) will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the Foreign Currency or currency unit in which the Registered Security is denominated or payable as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.11.


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


(c)Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any Bearer Security will be made, except as provided in Section 3.04 with respect to temporary Global Securities, 

24






unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01, at such place or places outside the United States as may be designated by the Company pursuant to any applicable laws or regulations by any appropriate method in the currency or currencies or currency unit or units in which the Bearer Security is payable (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) on the payment date therefor against surrender of the Bearer Security, in the case of payment of principal and premium, if any, or the relevant coupon, in the case of payment of interest, if any, to a Paying Agent designated for such series pursuant to Section 5.02.


(d)If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, (i) not later than 10 days prior to each payment date, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company written notice specifying the respective aggregate amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities to be paid on such payment date, and the currency or currency unit in which each of such respective aggregate amounts are to be paid, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Registered Securities and Bearer Securities, and specifying the amounts so payable in respect of the Registered Securities denominated in each Foreign Currency or currency unit as to which the Holders shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above, and (ii) not later than the seventh day prior to the applicable payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date.  The Dollar or Foreign Currency or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of the Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit who have elected payment in another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Official Exchange Rate set forth in the applicable Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate.


(e)If a Foreign Currency in which any Security is denominated or payable ceases to be recognized both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, or, with respect to any Securities denominated or payable in ECU, if ECU ceases to be used both within the European Communities and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities, or if any other currency unit in which a Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, in each case determined in good faith by the Company, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the applicable Security denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, ECU or such other currency unit occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency, ECU or such other currency unit was so used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall become the alternative currency of payment for use on each such payment date (unless a currency or currency unit other than the Dollar is specified as the alternative currency of payment for the purposes of this paragraph in the certificates for such Securities (or as provided pursuant to Section 3.01 or a supplemental indenture hereto)); provided, however, that the Foreign Currency or ECU or the currency unit previously the currency of payment shall, at the Company's election, resume being the currency of payment on the first such payment date preceded by 15 Business Days during which the circumstances which gave rise to the Dollar (or such other currency or currency unit as may be specified as the alternative currency of payment) becoming such alternative currency of payment no longer prevail, in each case as determined in good faith by the Company.  The Dollar (or such other currency or currency unit as may be specified as the alternative currency of payment) amount to be paid by the Company to the Trustee and by the Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holder of such Security with respect to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, as determined by the Dollar Determination Agent (which shall deliver its determination of such amount to be paid by the Company in writing to the Trustee not later than the fifth Business Day prior to the applicable payment date) as of the Conversion Date or, if later, the date most recently preceding the payment date in question on which such 

25






determination is possible of performance, but not more than 15 days before such payment date (such Conversion Date or date preceding a payment date as aforesaid being called the "Valuation Date") in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.


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


(g)The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by the Dollar Determination Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars (or such other currency or currency unit as may be specified as the alternative currency of payment for the purposes of paragraph (e) above) at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date.


(h)The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the Dollar Determination Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be the sum obtained by adding together the results obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars (or such other currency or currency unit as may be specified as the alternative currency of payment for the purposes of paragraph (e) above) at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date for such Component Currency.


(i)For purposes of this Section 3.11 the following terms shall have the following meanings:


A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including without limitation ECU.
A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units or fractions thereof which such Component Currency represented in the relevant currency unit, including without limitation ECU, on the Conversion Date.  If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be 

26






divided or multiplied in the same proportion.  If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency.  If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by specified amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which, at the Market Exchange Rate of such two or more currencies on the date of such replacement, shall be equal to the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies.
"Market Exchange Rate" shall mean (unless a currency or currency unit other than the Dollar is specified as the alternative currency of payment for purposes of paragraph (d) above) for any currency the noon Dollar buying rate for that currency for cable transfers quoted in New York City on the Valuation Date as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.  If such rates are not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies for which an Exchange Rate is required, the Dollar Determination Agent shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency in question, or such other quotations as the Dollar Determination Agent shall deem appropriate.  Unless otherwise specified by the Dollar Determination Agent, if there is more than one market for dealing in any currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency would, as determined in its sole discretion and without liability on the part of the Dollar Determination Agent, purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities.  If a currency or currency unit other than the Dollar is specified as the alternative currency of payment for purposes of paragraph (d) above, the meaning of Market Exchange Rate shall be specified in the certificates for the Securities (or as provided pursuant to Section 3.01 or a supplemental indenture hereto).
All decisions and determinations of the Dollar Determination Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of, the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit and the Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company and all Holders of the Securities denominated or payable in the relevant currency or currency units.  In the event that a Foreign Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.04 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date.  In the event the ECU ceases to be used both within the European Communities and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities, or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, the Company, after learning thereof will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.04 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion 

27






Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date.  In the event of any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above, the Company, after learning thereof, will similarly give notice to the Trustee.  Any actions taken pursuant to the proviso at the end of the first sentence of Section 3.11 (e) and at the end of Section 3.11 (f) shall be promptly set forth in like notices from the Company to the Trustee and then from the Trustee to the Holders (which notice may be mailed with payment to the Holders).
Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01 and, except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Dollar Determination Agent, and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently.
SECTION 3.12.    Certification by a Person Entitled to Delivery of a Bearer Security.  Whenever any provision of this Indenture or a Security contemplates that certification be given by a Person entitled to delivery of a Bearer Security, such certification shall be provided substantially in the form of Exhibit A hereto, with only such changes as shall be approved by the Company.

ARTICLE FOUR 
REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS


SECTION 4.01.    Applicability of Right of Redemption.  Redemption of Securities (other than pursuant to a sinking fund or analogous provision) permitted by the terms of any series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms and Sections 4.02, 4.03 and 4.04; provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provisions of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern.


SECTION 4.02.    Election to Redeem; Notice of Redemption; Partial Redemption.  The election of the Company to redeem any Securities of any series shall be evidenced by or pursuant to an Officers' Certificate.  In case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series in accordance with the right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption to Holders to be redeemed as hereinafter in this Section provided.


Any notice of redemption to be given to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part shall be given in the manner provided in Section 1.04 not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption.
Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities are to be redeemed, shall state that the conditions precedent to such redemption, if any, have occurred and describe the same, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption (except that if such redemption date is an Interest Payment Date such interest due on such date with respect to a particular Registered Security shall be payable to the Holder on the Regular Record Date for such Interest Payment Date), will be made at the office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 5.02 (or, if desired by the Company, at the principal office of the Trustee) upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and that from and after said date any interest thereon will cease to accrue.  If less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the notice to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed shall identify such Holder's Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part.  In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only (which part shall be the minimum denomination determined pursuant to Section 3.01 or a multiple thereof), the notice which relates to such Securities shall state the portion of the principal amount to be redeemed, and that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities of the same series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.  No Security of a denomination of the minimum denomination determined pursuant to Section 3.01 principal amount may be redeemed in part.
To the extent that the Securities of any series have different terms, the Company shall designate the Securities to be redeemed if less than all of a series are to be redeemed ("Company Designation").  If less than all the Securities of a series having the same terms are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee, not less than 60 days (or such lesser number of days as the Trustee shall approve) prior to the date fixed by the Company for such redemption, written notice of the aggregate amount of the Securities to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed ("Trustee Selection"), and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company and any Paying Agent in writing of the Securities of such series or portions thereof to be redeemed.  Except in the event of a 
Company Designation or a Trustee Selection, notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 1.04 need not identify particular Securities to be redeemed.
Any notice of redemption may be given by the Company pursuant to this Section or may be given, at the Company's direction, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 4.03.    Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.  If notice of redemption shall have been given in the manner provided in Section 4.02, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after such date of redemption (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities or portions thereof at the redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Securities and portions of Securities shall be deemed not to be outstanding hereunder and shall not be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture except to receive payment of the redemption price, together with accrued interest thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.  On presentation and surrender of such Securities, on or after the redemption date at the Place of Payment specified in the notice of redemption, such Securities or specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption; provided, however, that installments of interest on Bearer Securities that mature on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest, and provided further that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, installments of interest that mature on Registered Securities on or prior to the redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.07.


If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the redemption date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the redemption price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless.  If thereafter the Holder shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the redemption price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section 5.02) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from the redemption date at the rate of interest or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security) borne by or applicable to such Security.
Upon presentation and surrender of any Security which is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so surrendered.

29






SECTION 4.04.    Deposit of Funds for Redemption of Securities.  Prior to the date fixed for redemption of any Securities as hereinbefore provided in this Article, the Company shall deposit in trust with the Trustee or with any Paying Agent, or if and to the extent that it shall be acting as its own Paying Agent, the Company shall set aside, segregate and hold in trust, funds sufficient to redeem the Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such date, at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued thereon, if any, to the date fixed for redemption.


SECTION 4.05.    Applicability of Sinking Fund.  Redemption of Securities permitted or required pursuant to a sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series by the terms of such series of Securities shall be made in accordance with such terms of such series of Securities and this Article; provided, however, that if any such terms of a series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the terms of such series shall govern.


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 mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 4.06.
SECTION 4.06.    Satisfaction of Mandatory Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.  Subject to Section 4.07, in lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may at its option (a) deliver to the Trustee Securities of that series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, or (b) receive credit for the principal amount of Securities of that series which have been previously delivered to the Trustee by the Company or 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; 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 mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.


SECTION 4.07.    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Funds.  Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied through delivery and/or crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 4.06 (which Securities will, if not previously delivered, accompany such certificate) and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.  Such certificate shall be irrevocable, and upon its delivery the Company shall he obligated to make the cash payment or payments therein referred to, if any, prior to such sinking fund payment date.  In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate, the sinking fund payment due with respect to the next sinking fund payment date for that series of Securities shall be paid entirely in cash and shall be made in an amount sufficient to redeem the principal amount of such Securities subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the option to deliver or credit Securities as provided in Section 4.06 and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series.


Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash, plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in cash, which shall equal or exceed 

30






$100,000 (or the equivalent in Foreign Currency or currency units in which Securities of the series are payable if applicable), or a lesser sum if the Company shall so request, with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee, a Paying Agent or the Company, if it acts as its own Paying Agent, on the sinking fund payment date next following the date of such payment to the redemption of such Securities at the redemption price specified in such Securities for operation of the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the sinking fund payment date.  Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities shall be added to the next cash sinking fund payment received by the Trustee or such Paying Agent or set aside and segregated by the Company for such series and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 4.07.  Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities shall be applied by the Trustee, such Paying Agent or the Company, together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of principal of such Securities at maturity.
Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in accordance with Section 4.02.  The Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the sinking fund payment date in the manner provided in Section 4.02, except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities of such series are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund and the sinking fund payment date.  Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made on the sinking fund payment date upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.03.
Prior to each sinking fund payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee or to a Paying Agent in cash (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 5.05 (b)) a sum equal to any interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption of Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section.

ARTICLE FIVE


PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY1


The Company covenants that so long as any of the Securities shall remain outstanding:
SECTION 5.01.    Payments of Principal, Premium, if any, and Interest, if any.  The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on each of the Securities of that series at the times and places and in the manner provided herein and in the Securities of that series.


SECTION 5.02.    Office or Agency for Certain Purposes.  The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where Securities of such series (but, except as otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the United States, not Bearer Securities) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series and this Indenture may be served.  If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, the Company will maintain, subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series that is located outside the United States where Securities of such series may be presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however, that such an office or agency shall be maintained, if the Securities of such series are then listed on The International Stock Exchange of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland and such stock exchange shall so require, in London, and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange and such stock exchange shall so require, in Luxembourg and, if the Securities of such series are then listed on any other stock exchange outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, in any other required city, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on such exchanges.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location of, any such office or agency.


No payment of principal of or premium or interest on Bearer Securities shall be made at any office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, payment of principal of and any premium and interest (including additional amounts payable in respect thereof) on any Bearer Security may be made in Dollars at the principal office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if (but only if) payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or additional amounts at all offices outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions.
The Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies (in or outside The City of New York) where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes, and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements set forth above.  The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.
SECTION 5.03.    Maintenance of Corporate Existence and Payment of Taxes.  The Company will preserve its corporate existence, but this covenant shall not require the Company to continue its 
corporate existence in the event of a consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other corporation in accordance with the provision of Article Eleven hereof as a result of which the Company shall lose its corporate identity, or in the event of a sale or conveyance of the property of the Company as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in accordance with the provisions of said Article Eleven.  The Company will duly and punctually pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon or assessed against the Company which are material to the Company; provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall require the Company to pay any such tax, assessment, charge or levy so long as the Company shall in good faith contest the validity or the amount of the same by appropriate legal proceedings and stay any execution thereof.


SECTION 5.04.    Appointments to Fill Vacancies in Trustee's Office.  The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.08, a Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.


SECTION 5.05.    Provisions as to Paying Agent.  (a) If the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities, it will cause such Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to this Section, that it will, in addition to fulfilling the duties provided in Section 317 of the Trust Indenture Act, at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.


(a)If the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will comply with Section 317 of the Trust Indenture Act.

SECTION 5.09.    Limitation on Liens.  The Company will not create, assume or suffer to exist any Lien upon any Restricted Property to secure any debt of the Company, any Subsidiary or any other person, or permit any Subsidiary to do so, without making effective provision whereby the Securities then outstanding and having the benefit of this Section shall be secured by the Lien equally and ratably with such debt for so long as such debt shall be so secured, except that the foregoing shall not prevent the Company or any Subsidiary from creating, assuming or suffering to exist Liens of the following character:


(1)    with respect to any series of Securities, any Lien existing on the date of issuance of the first security in such series;
(2)    any Lien existing on property owned or leased by a corporation at the time it becomes a Subsidiary;
(3)    any Lien existing on property at the time of the acquisition thereof by the Company or a Subsidiary;
(4)    any Lien to secure any debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after the acquisition of Restricted Property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof and any Lien to the extent that it secures debt which is in excess of such purchase price and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such Restricted Property;
(5)    any Lien to secure any debt incurred prior to, at the time of, or within 12 months after the completion of the construction, alteration, repair or improvement of Restricted Property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the cost thereof and any Lien to the extent that it secures debt which is in excess of such cost and for the payment of which recourse may be had only against such Restricted Property;
(6)    any Lien securing debt of a Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Subsidiary;
(7)    any Lien in favor of the United States or any State or territory thereof or any other country, or any agency, instrumentality or political subdivision of any of the foregoing, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments or performance pursuant to the provisions of any contract or statute, or any Liens securing industrial development, pollution control, or similar revenue bonds;
(8)    any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any Lien referred to in clauses (1) through (7) above, so long as the principal amount of the debt secured thereby does not exceed the principal amount of debt so secured at the time of the extension, renewal or replacement (except that, where an additional principal amount of debt is incurred to provide funds for the completion of a specific project, the additional principal amount, and any related financing costs, may be secured by the Lien as well) and the Lien is limited to the same property subject to the Lien so extended, renewed or replaced (and improvements on the property); and

33






(9)    any Lien not permitted by clauses (1) through (8) above securing debt which, together with the aggregate outstanding principal amount of all other debt of the Company and its Subsidiaries owning Restricted Property which would otherwise be subject to the foregoing restrictions and the aggregate Value of existing Sale and Leaseback Transactions which would be subject to the restrictions of this Section but for this clause (9), does not at any time exceed 15% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets.
SECTION 5.10.    Limitation on Sale and Leaseback.


The Company will not enter into any Sale and Leaseback Transaction, nor permit any Subsidiary owning Restricted Property to do so, unless either:
(1)    the Company or such Subsidiary would be entitled to incur debt, in a principal amount at least equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction, which is secured by Liens on the property to be leased (without equally and ratably securing the outstanding Securities) because such Liens would be of such character that no violation of any of the provisions of Section 5.09 herein would result, or
(2)    the Company during the six months immediately following the effective date of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction causes to be applied to (A) the acquisition of Restricted Property or (B) the voluntary retirement of Funded Debt (whether by redemption, defeasance, repurchase, or otherwise) an amount equal to the Value of such Sale and Leaseback Transaction.

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE AND HOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT


SECTION 6.01.    Events of Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default.  In case one or more of the following Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities of any series (unless it is inapplicable to such series of Securities or it is specifically deleted in the supplemental indenture or Board Resolution under which such series of Securities is issued or has been modified in any such supplemental indenture), that is to say:


(a)default in the payment of any installment of interest upon any Security, of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days; or


(b)default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of such series as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or


(c)failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform its obligations set forth in Article Eleven, and written notice thereof, requiring the Company to remedy the same and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or


(d)failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company contained in the Securities of such series or in this Indenture (other than a covenant or agreement which has been expressly included in the Securities or in this Indenture solely for the benefit of a series of Securities other than that series) for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring the Company to remedy the same and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding; or


(e)if a decree or order for relief shall be entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or of a major part of its property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the Company's affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or


(f)if the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or the Company shall consent to the entry by order of a court of competent jurisdiction of a decree or order in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding against the Company; or


(g)if the Company shall make an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or shall consent to the 
appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of a major part of its property; or


(h)the occurrence of any other Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series as provided in a supplemental indenture applicable to such series of Securities pursuant to Section 10.01(d); 


then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of the Securities of such 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 such series then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all the Securities of such series to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the contrary notwithstanding.  This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of such series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any sale of property under any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of such series and the principal of and premium, if any, on any and all Securities of such series which shall have become due otherwise than by declaration (with interest on overdue installments of interest, to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law, and on such principal of and premium, if any, on each Security of such series at the rate borne by such Security to the date of such payment or deposit or Yield to Maturity (in the case of an Original Issue Discount Security)) and the expenses of the Trustee, and reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any and all defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of such series which shall have become due by declaration, shall have been remedied -- then, and in every such case, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default, or shall impair any right consequent thereon.


In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture for the Holders of Securities of any series 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 the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored respectively to their several positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.
The Company and the Trustee may, to the extent provided in Section 10.01, enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto with respect to any series of the Securities which may provide for additional, different or fewer Events of Default with respect to such series of Securities.
SECTION 6.02.    Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt.  The Company covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days, or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of or 

35






premium, if any, on any of the Securities when and as the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities 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 such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and interest, if any, with interest upon the overdue principal and premium, if any, of each such Security and (to the extent legally enforceable under applicable law) upon any installments of interest, at the rate borne by such Security; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.


All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities of any series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities of such series, or the production thereof on 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 be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series.  In any proceedings brought by the Trustee (and also any proceedings involving the interpretation of any provision of this Indenture to which the Trustee shall be a party), the Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities of a series, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of the Securities of such series parties to any such proceedings.
In case of an Event of Default hereunder with respect to Securities of a particular series, the Trustee may, but unless first requested so to do by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding and furnished with reasonable indemnity against all costs, expenses and liabilities shall not be under any obligation to, 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 by suit in equity or by action at law or by proceedings in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this 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 herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of the Holder of any Security any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of any series or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of any Security in any such proceeding.
SECTION 6.03.    Application of Proceeds.  Any moneys collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys:


FIRST: To the payment of all costs and expenses in connection with the collection of such moneys, and all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.05; and
SECOND: To the payment of the entire amounts then due and unpaid upon the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such moneys shall have been collected, without any preference or priority, ratably according to the amounts due and payable upon such Securities upon presentation of the several Securities and notation of such payment thereon, if partly paid, and upon surrender thereof, if fully paid.
Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the Company or to such other person as shall be entitled to receive it.

36






SECTION 6.04.    Limitations on Suits by Holders.  No Holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself 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 such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of the series, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that 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 and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security of such series with every other Holder of Securities of such series and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities of such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing itself 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 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 this Section, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.


SECTION 6.05.    Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.  All powers and remedies given by this Article to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities of any series shall, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6.04, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers or remedies available to the Trustee or such Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities of any series to exercise any right or power accruing upon any 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 Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to such Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such Holders.


SECTION 6.06.    Control by Holders; Waiver of Default.  The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding 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 Securities of such series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture; and provided further, that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by such Holders.  The Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to the Securities of such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the Securities of such series.  In the case of any such waiver, 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.

The reasonable expense of every such investigation 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.


SECTION 7.02.    Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals, etc.  The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificate and the representation as to the power of the Trustee to enter into this Indenture and accept and execute the trusts hereby created, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.

SECTION 7.03.    Trustee and Others May Hold Securities.  The Trustee or any Paying Agent or Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company or the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

Subject to Sections 12.03 and 12.04, all moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent, need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances thereon. The Company also covenants and agrees to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including liability which the Trustee may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report taxes and including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in the premises.

38








SECTION 7.06.    Right of Trustee to Rely on Certificate of Certain Officers.  Except as otherwise provided in Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering 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 by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.


SECTION 7.07.    Persons Eligible for Appointment As Trustee.  The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a corporation which complies with the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $5,000,000.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.08.


SECTION 7.08.    Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor.   
(a)The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to any one or more or all series of Securities by giving written notice to the Company and by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.04. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee or trustees with respect to the applicable series by written instrument 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 with respect to a particular series 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, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least 6 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 of the following shall occur:
(1)the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 7.07 and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or
(2)the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation;


then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities, and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Company, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of any such series for at least 6 months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition, any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the 

39






appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series.
(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 that series and appoint with respect to such series a successor trustee by delivering to the trustee so removed, to the successor trustee so appointed and to the Company, the evidence provided for in Section 8.01 of the action taken by the Holders.


(d)Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to this Section shall become effective only upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.09.


SECTION 7.09.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee.  Any successor trustee appointed under Section 7.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to its predecessor trustee with respect to any or all applicable series an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the Trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any such amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.05, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers and trusts with respect to such series of the Trustee so ceasing to act.  Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers.  Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such Trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to Section 7.05.


In the 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 predecessor trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto which shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee.
No successor trustee with respect to any series of Securities shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall with respect to such series be eligible under Section 7.07.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, the Company shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.04.  If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 

40






days after acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be given at the expense of the Company.
SECTION 7.10.    Merger, Conversion or Consolidation of Trustee.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, provided that such successor trustee shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 7.07 hereof and Section 310(a) of the Trust Indenture Act.


SECTION 7.11.    Judgment Currency.  If for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation of the Company hereunder or under any Security, it shall become necessary to convert into any other currency or currency unit any amount in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security, then such conversion shall be made at the Conversion Rate (as defined below) as in effect on the date the Company shall make payment to any person in satisfaction of such judgment.  If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date other than the date payment is made and there shall occur a change between such Conversion Rate and the Conversion Rate as in effect on the date of payment, the Company agrees to pay such additional amounts, if any, as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid is the amount in such other currency or currency unit which, when converted at the Conversion Rate as in effect on the date of payment or distribution, is the amount then due hereunder or under such Security.  Any amount due from the Company under this Section 7.11 shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder or in respect of any Security so that in any event the Company's obligations hereunder or under such Security will be effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit.  In no event, however, shall the Company be required to pay more in the currency or currency unit than the amount stated to be due hereunder or under such Security.


For purposes of this Section 7.11, "Conversion Rate" shall mean the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the currency or currency unit into which an amount due hereunder or under such Security is to be converted could be purchased with the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security from major banks located in New York, London or any other principal market for such purchased currency or currency unit.
SECTION 7.12.    Authenticating Agents.  There may be an Authenticating Agent or Authenticating Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities appointed by the Trustee from time to time with power to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or redemption thereof as fully to all intents and purposes as though such Authenticating Agent had been expressly authorized to authenticate and deliver Securities, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  For all purposes of this Indenture (except in the case of original issuance of Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities), the authentication and delivery of Securities by an Authenticating Agent appointed pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall be deemed to be the authentication and delivery of such Securities "by the Trustee," and whenever this Indenture provides (except in the case of original issuance of the Securities and the issuance of Securities in replacement of lost, stolen, mutilated or destroyed Securities) that "the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver" Securities, such authentication and delivery by any Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be authentication and delivery by the Trustee.  Any such Authenticating Agent shall at all 

41






times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least $10,000,000 and authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent, duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable law and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State or District of Columbia authority.  If such corporation publishes reports of its condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of such authority, then for the purposes of this Section 7.12 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified in this Section 7.12.


Any corporation into which any Authenticating Agent may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which any Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate agency business of any Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of the Authenticating Agent hereunder, if such successor corporation is otherwise eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent or such successor corporation.
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 terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice or resignation or upon a termination, or in case at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent.  Upon the appointment, at any time after the original issuance of any of the Securities, of any successor, additional or new authenticating agent, the Trustee shall give written notice of such appointment to the Company and shall at the expense of the Company give notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner provided in Section 1.04.  Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if initially named as an Authenticating Agent herein.  No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible to act as such in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12.
Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have represented to the Trustee that it is eligible for appointment as Authenticating Agent under this Section and to have agreed with the Trustee that: it will perform and carry out the duties of an Authenticating Agent as herein set forth, including, among other things, the duties to authenticate and deliver Securities when presented to it in connection with exchanges, registrations of transfer or redemptions thereof; it will keep and maintain, and furnish to the Trustee from time to time as requested by the Trustee, appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as Authenticating Agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; and it will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be eligible to act as Authenticating Agent in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.12.  Any Authenticating Agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have agreed with the Trustee to indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and to defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of such Authenticating Agent, but such Authenticating Agent shall have no liability for any action taken by it in accordance with the specific written direction of the Trustee.

42






The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation and expenses for its services (to the extent such compensation is not paid by the Company), and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments subject to the provisions of Section 7.05.
The provisions of Sections 7.02, 7.03 and 7.06 shall inure to the benefit of each Authenticating Agent to the same extent that they inure to the benefit of the Trustee.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

ARTICLE EIGHT


CONCERNING THE HOLDERS


SECTION 8.01.    Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.  Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage or a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities 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 specified percentage or majority have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments or similar tenor executed by Holders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Holders.


SECTION 8.02.    Proof of Execution of Instruments and of Holding of Securities.  Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 9.05 and Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Holder 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:


The fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds to be recorded in any State within the United States, that the person executing such instrument acknowledged to him the execution thereof, or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer.  Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or association or a member of a partnership on behalf of such corporation, association or partnership, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.  The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee may deem sufficient.
The ownership of Registered Securities may be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar.
The principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities in the amount and with the serial numbers therein described; or such facts may be proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory.  The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.
The fact and date of execution of any such instrument or writing, the authority of the Person executing the same and the principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of holding the same may also be proved in 
any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient; and the Trustee may in any instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to in this Section 8.02.
If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of any series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  Any such record date shall be fixed at the Company's discretion.  If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other act may be sought or given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be the Holders of Registered Securities for the purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of Securities of such series Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other act, and for that purpose the Registered Securities of such series Outstanding shall be computed as of such record date.
Whenever any act is to be taken hereunder by the Holders of two or more series of Securities denominated in different currencies or currency units, then, for the purpose of determining the principal amount of Securities held by such Holders, the aggregate principal amount of the Securities denominated in a Foreign Currency (or any currency units) shall be deemed to be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange for such Foreign Currency or such currency unit as determined by the Company or by an authorized Exchange Rate Agent and evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate as of the date the taking of such act by the Holders of the requisite percentage in principal amount of the Securities is evidenced to the Trustee.  An Exchange Rate Agent may be appointed in advance or from time to time by the Company.  Any such determination by the Company or by any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be conclusive and binding on all Holders, the Company and the Trustee, and neither the Company nor any such Exchange Rate Agent shall be liable therefor in the absence of bad faith.
The Trustee may require such additional proof, if any, of any matter referred to in this Section 8.02 as it shall deem necessary.
The record of any Holders meeting shall be proved as provided in Section 9.06.
SECTION 8.03.    Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding.  In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent and waiver or other act under this Indenture, Securities which are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities which the Trustee knows are so owned as conclusively evidenced by the Security Register shall be so disregarded.  The Company shall furnish the Trustee, upon its reasonable request, with a list of such other obligors and persons so controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company or such other obligors.  Securities so owned which 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 that the pledgee has the right to vote 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.  

44






Subject to the provisions of Section 315 of the Trust Indenture Act, 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 8.04.    Right of Revocation of Action Taken.  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 percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities or of any series of Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial number of which 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 at its principal office 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 or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security or any Security issued in exchange therefor or in place thereof.  Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities 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.

Such regulations may provide that written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 8.02 or other proof.

The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders as provided in Section 9.03, in which case the Company or the Holders calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.  A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities represented at the meeting and entitled to vote.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES


SECTION 10.01.    Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of Holders.  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 it shall be in force at the date of execution of such indenture or indentures) for one or more of the following purposes:


(a)to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge to the Trustee as security for the Securities any property or assets which the Company may desire;


(b)to evidence the succession of another corporation to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor corporation of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article Eleven;


(c)to add to the covenants and agreements of the Company such further covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions for the protection of the Holders of the Securities of all or any series as its Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be for the protection of the Holders of Securities of such series (and if such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of Securities, specifying the series to which such covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions are applicable), and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and continuance, of a default in any such additional covenants, agreements, restrictions or conditions a default or an Event of Default permitting the enforcement of all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such additional covenant, agreement, restriction or condition such supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series to waive such default;


(d)to add, delete or modify any Events of Default with respect to all or any series of the Securities, the form and terms of which are being established pursuant to such supplemental indenture as permitted in Section 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03 (and, if any such Event of Default is applicable to fewer than all such series of the Securities, specifying the series to which such Event of Default is applicable), and to
 specify the rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders of such Securities in connection therewith;


(e)to prohibit the authentication and delivery of additional series of Securities, to cure any ambiguity or to correct or supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which may be defective or inconsistent with any other provisions contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture and shall not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the Securities;


(f)to establish the form and terms of the Securities of any series as permitted in Sections 2.01, 3.01 and 3.03, or to authorize the issuance of additional Securities of a series previously authorized or to add to the conditions, limitations or restrictions on the authorized amount, terms or 

48






purposes of issue, authentication or delivery of the Securities of any series, as herein set forth, or other conditions, limitations or restrictions thereafter to be observed; and


(g)to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series or to 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, pursuant to the requirements of Section 7.09.


The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental indenture, to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be therein contained and to accept the conveyance, transfer, assignment, mortgage, or pledge of any property thereunder, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.  In addition, the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any supplemental indenture which provides for the issuance of Securities of any series denominated in a Foreign Currency or currency unit, if the Trustee determines in its reasonable discretion that it would not be able to properly fulfill its obligations hereunder and thereunder in respect of such Securities or to do so would be unduly burdensome to the Trustee.
Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section shall be executed by the Company and the Trustee and shall not require the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time outstanding, notwithstanding Section 10.02.
SECTION 10.02.    Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.  With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of Directors, 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 it shall be in force at the date of execution of such supplemental indenture or indentures) for the purpose, with respect to Securities of such series, of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture with respect to Securities of such series or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of such series; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity, or the earlier optional date of maturity, if any, of any Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the premium thereon, if any, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest, if any, thereon or make the principal thereof or premium, if any, or interest, if any, thereon payable in any currency other than as provided pursuant to this Indenture or such Security, without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any series, the Holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of all Securities of such series then outstanding.


Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a Board Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of the Holders 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.
A supplemental indenture which changes or eliminates any provision of this Indenture or of any series of Securities which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular 

49






series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of Holders of Securities of such series with respect to such provisions, shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Holders under this Section to approve the particular form any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.
Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture under this Section, the Company shall give notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the Holders of Securities in the manner provided in Section 1.04.  Any failure of the Company to give such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.
SECTION 10.03.    Effect of Supplemental Indentures.  Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article, this Indenture shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective rights, limitation of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the Holders of Securities shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.


SECTION 10.04.    Notation on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures.  Securities authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or after any action taken at a Holders meeting pursuant to the provisions of Article Nine may, and if required by the Trustee shall, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture or as to any such action.
