representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to
such matters are erroneous.

Where any Person is required to make, give or execute
two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements,
opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be
consolidated and form one instrument.

 

Section 1.4                                   Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be
given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or
by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or
instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Company. The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the Company
copies of all such instrument or instruments delivered to the Trustee.  Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to
as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or
of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of
this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) conclusive in favor of the
Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

 

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

 

The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the
Security Register.

 

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

 

The Company may set any day as a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to give, make or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
vote, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided
that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this
paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice,
declaration, request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any
record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders
remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such

 

10

 

action shall be effective
hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on
such record date.  Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record
date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to
this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically
and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in
this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by
Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the
relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall
cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the
applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each
Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

 

The Trustee may set any day as a record date for the
purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series
entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any Notice of Default, (ii) any
declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2, (iii) any
request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2) or (iv) any
direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with respect to
Securities of such series.  If any record
date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities
of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to
join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such
Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such
action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. 
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be canceled and of no
effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective
any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly
after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the
Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action
by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in
writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6.

 

With respect to any record date set pursuant to this
Section, the party hereto which sets such record dates may designate any day as
the “Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to
any earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be
effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the
other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant
series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6, on or prior to the existing
Expiration Date.  If an Expiration Date
is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section,
the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th day after the
applicable record date.

 

11

 

Without limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled
hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security
may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal amount of such
Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so
pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal
amount.

 

Section 1.5                                   Notices, etc., to Trustee and
Company.

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by
this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(1)                                  the Trustee by any Holder or by the
Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing (or by facsimile transmissions, provided
that oral confirmation of receipt shall have been received) to or with the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, or

 

(2)                                  the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
personally delivered or sent via overnight courier to the Company addressed to
it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of
this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Trustee by the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer.

 

Section 1.6                                   Notice to Holders; Waiver.

 

Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of
any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or
delivered by hand or overnight courier to each Holder affected by such event,
at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. 
Neither the failure to mail or deliver by hand or overnight courier any
notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or delivered by hand or
overnight courier, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders. 
Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may
be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice.  Waivers of notice by Holders
shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition
precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

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

 

Whenever under this Indenture the Trustee is required
to provide any notice by mail, in all cases the Trustee may alternatively
provide notice by overnight courier, electronic transmission or by facsimile,
with confirmation of transmission.

Section 1.7                                   Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act.

 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts
with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required under the Trust
Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision
shall control.  If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act, which
may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply
to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 

Section 1.8                                   Effect of Headings and Table of
Contents.

 

The Article and Section headings herein and
the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the
construction hereof.

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the
Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 1.10                            Separability Clause.

 

In case any provision in this Indenture or in the
Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

 

Section 1.11                            Benefits of Indenture.

 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and
their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 1.13                            Legal Holidays.

 

In any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or the last date on which a
Holder has the right to convert a Security at a particular conversion price or
conversion rate, as the case may be, shall not be a Business Day at any Place
of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of
the Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of
interest or principal (and premium, if any) or, if applicable to a particular
series of Securities, conversion need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect as if

 

13

 

made on the Interest
Payment Date or Redemption Date, at the Stated Maturity or on such last day for
conversion, as the case may be.

 

Section 1.14                            Indenture and Securities Solely
Corporate Obligations.

 

No recourse for the payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest on any Security, or for any claim based thereon or
otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation,
covenant or agreement of the Company in this Indenture or in any supplemental
indenture or in any Security, or because of the creation of any indebtedness
represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator, stockholder,
employee, agent, officer, or director or subsidiary, as such, past, present or
future, of the Company or of any successor corporation, either directly or
through the Company or any successor corporation, whether by virtue of any
constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being expressly understood that all such
liability is hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as a
consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issue of the
Securities.

together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Micron Technology, Inc., a corporation duly
organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (herein called the “Company,”
which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to
                        ,
or registered assigns, the principal sum of
                          
dollars on
                                                            [if the Security is to bear
interest prior to Maturity, insert — , and to pay interest thereon
from
                    
or from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid
or duly provided for, semi-annually on
                      
and                     
in each year, commencing
                  ,
at the rate of       % per annum, until the
principal hereof is paid or made available for payment [if
applicable, insert — , provided that any principal and
premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear
interest at the rate of       % per annum (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from
the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for
payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand]. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the
             or
            
(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such
Interest Payment Date.  Any such interest
not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable
to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture].

 

[If the Security is not to
bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The principal of this
Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of
principal upon

 

15

 

acceleration, upon
redemption or at Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any
overdue premium shall bear interest at the rate of
      % per annum (to the extent that the payment
of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are
due until they are paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue
principal or premium shall be payable on demand.  [Any such interest on overdue principal or
premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of
      % per annum (to the extent that the payment
of such interest on interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date of
such demand until the amount so demanded is paid or made available for
payment.  Interest on any overdue
interest shall be payable on demand.]]

 

Payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and
[if applicable, insert — any such]
interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose in
              ,
in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of
payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if applicable, insert — ; provided, however,
that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check
mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register].

 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of
this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall
for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

 

Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual
signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

[If the Security is subject
to redemption of any kind, insert — In the event of redemption of
this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of
like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

 

[If applicable, insert—
The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of [the entire

of Default with respect to this Security] [, in each case] upon compliance with
certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.]

 

[If the Security is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company, insert — Subject to
the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is entitled, at
its option, at any time on or before [insert date]
(except that, in case this Security or any portion hereof shall be called for
redemption, such right shall terminate with respect to this Security or portion
hereof, as the case may be, so called for redemption at the close of business
on the first Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption as
provided in the Indenture unless the Company defaults in making the payment due
upon redemption), to convert the principal amount of this Security (or any
portion hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), into fully
paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100th of a share) of the Common Stock of the Company, as said shares shall be
constituted at the date of conversion, at the conversion price of
$                          
principal amount of Securities for each share of Common Stock, or at the
adjusted conversion price in effect at the date of conversion determined as
provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with the
conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the designated office
or agency of the Company in
                        ,

the Company) by
instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and to the
Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or by its duly authorized attorney in
writing.

 

Such surrender shall, if made during any period
beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending at the
opening of business on the Interest Payment Date next following such Regular
Record Date (unless this Security or the portion being converted shall have
been called for redemption on a Redemption Date during the period beginning at
the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending at the opening of
business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding Interest Payment
Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day, the second such
Business Day), also be accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the
Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such Interest Payment
Date on the principal amount of this Security then being converted. Subject to
the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of a conversion after
the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date and on or
before such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of this Security
(or any Predecessor Security) of record at such Regular Record Date to receive
an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in the Indenture),
no adjustment is to be made on conversion for interest accrued hereon or for
dividends on shares of Common Stock issued on conversion. The Company is not
required to issue fractional shares upon any such conversion, but shall make
adjustment therefor in cash on the basis of the current market value of such
fractional interest as provided in the Indenture.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment
as provided in the Indenture.  In
addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or
mergers to which the Company is a party or the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of
any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding, will be
convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as
specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon the consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Security might have been
converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale (assuming
such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and
received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of
non-electing shares). In the event of conversion of this Security in part only,
a new Security or Securities for the unconverted portion hereof shall be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

 

[If the Security is
convertible into other securities of the Company, specify the conversion
features.]

 

[If the Security is not an
Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the
principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in
the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]

 

[If the Security is an
Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an Event of Default
with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, an
amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and
payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.  Such amount shall be equal to — insert formula for determining the amount.

 

19

 

Upon payment (i) of

on any overdue principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that
the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s
obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and
interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

 

The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as
therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and
obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of
each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and
the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more than 50% in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be
affected.  The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences.  Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of
any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange
herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Security.

 

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the
Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute
any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder
shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the
time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the
time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision
of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of
the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
any premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain
limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in
the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of
transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the
principal of and any premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly
endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the
Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or
more new Securities

 

20

 

of this series and of
like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal
amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Securities of this series are issuable only in
registered form without coupons in denominations of
$             and
any integral multiple thereof.  As provided
in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment of this Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this 

 

Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All terms used in this Security that are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

supplemental hereto.

 

If any of the terms of
the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a
copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the
Secretary or an

 

26

 

Assistant Secretary of
the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series.

 

Section 3.2            Denominations.

 

The Securities of each
series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in
such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.  In the absence of any such specified
denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of
such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof.

 

Section 3.3            Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice
Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its principal financial
officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, attested by its
Treasurer, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or Assistant
Secretaries.  The signature of any of
these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

Securities bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the 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.

 

At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  If the form or terms of the Securities of the
series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, a copy of such Board Resolution, the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of
Counsel, with such Opinion of Counsel stating,

 

(1)           if the form of such Securities has
been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1,
that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

 

(2)           if the terms of such Securities have
been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1,
that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; 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

 

27

 

enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and
similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’
rights and to general equity principles.

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, 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 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.

 

Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication.

 

No Security shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

 

Neither the Company nor
the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number
that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice,
and any such document may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers
have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and
that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracy in
such numbers.

 

Section 3.4            Temporary Securities.

 

Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon
Company Order 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 and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

 

If temporary Securities
of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive

 

28

 

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
that series, without charge to the Holder. 
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities
of any series, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.  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 and
tenor.

 

Section 3.5            Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

 

The Company shall cause
to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment being 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 Securities
and of transfers of Securities.  The
Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

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

 

At the option of the
Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency.  Whenever any
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

All Securities issued
upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid
obligations of the 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 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 its attorney duly
authorized in writing.

 

No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4,
9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

If the Securities of any
series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the
Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor,
as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at
the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

 

The provisions of
clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global
Securities:

 

(1)           Each Global Security authenticated
under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary
designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such
Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global
Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

 

(2)           Notwithstanding any other provision
in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part
may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there
shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.1.

 

(3)           Subject to clause (2) above,
any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or
in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any
portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such
Global Security shall direct.

 

(4)           Every Security authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4,
3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form
of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof.

 

Section 3.6            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

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

 

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

 

30

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.7            Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

 

Except as otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person
in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest.

 

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

 

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

 

31

 

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
given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6,
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 given,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

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

 

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.

 

Subject to the provisions
of Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which
is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) which shall become due and payable, whether at Stated
Maturity or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise prior to such Interest
Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date
shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion
and such interest (whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall
be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or any one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on such Regular
Record Date. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the immediately
preceding sentence or in Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any
part thereof) which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the
date of conversion of such Security (or such part thereof) shall not be
payable.

 

32

 

Section 3.8            Persons Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment
of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7)
any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such 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.

 

Section 3.9            Cancellation.

 

All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
canceled 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 may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person
for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all
Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu
of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section,
except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Securities held by the Trustee
shall be cancelled and disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures.

 

Section 3.10         Computation of Interest.

 

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

the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or

Resolution, supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing such
series, it is provided that such series shall not have the benefit of said

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

 

(5)           the entry by a court having

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

 

35

 

(6)           the commencement by the Company of a
voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,

of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the making by it
of an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in
writing of its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

 

(7)           any other Event of Default provided
with respect to Securities of that series in the Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing that series.

 

Section 5.2            Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

(a)           Unless the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing such series
provides otherwise, if an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such
case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all
the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of
such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof), and premium, if any,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount
(or specified amount), and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid
interest, if any, thereon, shall become immediately due and payable. If an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with
respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the
principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof),
and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon, shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the
election of the Company, the sole remedy with respect to an Event of Default
for the failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 314(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act relating to the Company’s failure to file any documents
or reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or of its covenants set forth in Section 7.4
(any such Event of Default, a “Reporting Default”), shall for the first 180
calendar days after the occurrence of such Reporting Default consist

 

36

 

exclusively of the right
to receive additional interest (the “Additional Interest”) on the Securities at
an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the principal amount of the
Securities for the first 90 calendar days after the occurrence of such
Reporting Default and (ii) 0.50% of the principal amount of the Securities
from the 91st day to, and including, the 180th day after the occurrence of such Reporting
Default.  If the Company so elects, the
Additional Interest shall accrue on all Outstanding Securities from and
including the date on which such Reporting Default first occurs until such
violation is cured or waived and shall be payable as provided in Section 3.7.  On the 181st day after such Reporting Default (if such
violation is not cured or waived prior to such 181st calendar day), then the Trustee or the Holders
of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding securities may
declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all such Securities
to be due and payable immediately.

 

If the Company elects to
pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy for the Reporting Default, the
Company shall notify in writing, by a certificate, the Holders, the Paying
Agent and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of
business on the first Business Day following the date on which such Event of
Default first occurs.  Unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such
a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that Additional Interest
is not payable.  The Company shall pay the
Additional Interest semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual
payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date of such
Reporting Default, in the same manner as described on the face of the Security.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

37

 

(2)           all Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of
Securities of that series that have become due solely by such declaration of
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 

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

 

Section 5.3            Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

The Company covenants
that if

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.4            Trustee
May File Proofs of Claim.

proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions
authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders
and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. 
In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive
any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to
distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the
Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such
payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.

 

38

 

No provision of this
Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights
of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the
claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or
other similar committee.

 

Section 5.5            Trustee
May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

 

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

 

Section 5.6            Application
of Money Collected.

 

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

 

FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
under Section 6.7;

 

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

 

THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Company or any
other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

 

Section 5.7            Limitation
on Suits.

 

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

 

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

 

39

 

(2)           the Holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall
have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of
such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.8            Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such Securities in accordance
with Article 14 to the extent that such right to convert is applicable to
such Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 5.9            Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

 

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

 

Section 5.10         Rights
and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right
or remedy herein

 

40

 

conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy
given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise.
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 5.11         Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.

 

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

 

Section 5.12         Control
by Holders.

 

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

 

(1)           such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and the Trustee shall
not have determined that the action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial
to Holders of Securities of that series, or any other series, not taking part
in such direction; and

 

(2)           the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or
this Indenture.

 

Section 5.13         Waiver
of Past Defaults.

 

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

 

(1)           a default in the payment of the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of such series as and
when the same shall become due and payable by the terms thereof, otherwise than
by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay
all matured installments of interest, principal and premium, if any, has been
deposited with the Trustee), or

 

(2)           to the extent such right is
applicable to such Security, a failure by the Company on request to convert any
Security into Common Stock; or

 

41

 

(3)           in respect of a covenant or provision
hereof which under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

 

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

 

Section 5.14         Undertaking
for Costs.

 

In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court
may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in
the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that
neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an
assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or in any suit for the
enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 14.

 

Section 5.15         Waiver
of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

 

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

 

ARTICLE

THE
TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.1            Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.

 

The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.  Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

42

 

Section 6.2            Notice
of Defaults.

 

If a default occurs
hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the
Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the
extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however,
that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of such series or in the payment
of any sinking fund installment or any conversion right applicable to
Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the holders of Securities of such series; provided, further, however,
that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(4) with
respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
such series.

 

Except with respect to Section 10.1,
the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company
with respect to the covenants contained in Article 10.  In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event
of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 5.1(1), 5.1(2) and 5.1(3) (defaults
in payments on the Securities) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of
which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual
knowledge.

 

Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under Section 7.4 is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

 

Section 6.3            Certain
Rights of Trustee.

 

Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.1:

 

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

 

(2)           any request or direction of the
Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request
or Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

 

(3)           whenever in the administration of
this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or
established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any

 

43

 

action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence
be herein specifically prescribed) is entitled to and may, in the absence of
bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(7)           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;

 

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

 

(9)           in no event shall the Trustee be
responsible or liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of
any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit)
irrespective of whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such
loss or damage and regardless of the form of action;

 

(10)         the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of any Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and the
Indenture; and

 

(11)         the rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation,
its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall

 

44

 

be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its
capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to
act hereunder.

 

Section 6.4            Not
Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

 

The recitals contained
herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness.  The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture
or of the Securities.  Neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

 

Section 6.5            May Hold
Securities and Act as Trustee under Other Indentures.

 

The Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.

 

Subject to the
limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this Indenture shall
prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under other indentures
under which other securities, or certificates of interest of participation in
other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it
were not Trustee hereunder.

 

Section 6.6            Money
Held in Trust.

 

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

 

Section 6.7            Compensation
and Reimbursement.

 

The Company agrees:

 

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

 

(2)           except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable
expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in
accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable
compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel),
except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and

 

45

 

(3)           to indemnify the Trustee for, and to
hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without
negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder.  The obligations of the
Company under this Section 6.7 to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and
to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances shall
be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and
funds held or collected by the Trustee as such. 
The obligation of the Company under this Section shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or
Section 5.1(6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.

 

Section 6.8            Conflicting
Interests.

 

If the Trustee has or
shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture
Act and there is an Event of Default under the Securities of that series, the
Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in
the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture.  To the extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with
respect to Securities of more than one series.

 

Section 6.9            Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times
be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each
series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series.  Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has (or if the
Trustee is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company
has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If any such Person or bank holding company
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act,
the combined capital and surplus of such Person or bank holding company shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. 
If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article.

 

Section 6.10         Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

No resignation or removal
of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.

 

46

 

The Trustee may resign at
any time with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written
notice thereof to the Company.  If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of such series.

 

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

 

If at any time:

 

(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with
Section 6.8 after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible under Section 6.9 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Company or by any such Holder, or

 

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

 

then, in any such
case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

If the Trustee shall
resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur
in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one
or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those
series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed
with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at
any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.
If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the
Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by

 

47

 

Section 6.11,
the retiring Trustee may petition, or any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may petition, on
behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

 

The Company shall give
notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such
series in the manner provided in Section 1.6.  Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

Section 6.11         Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

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

 

In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and
to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of
the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the
retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain
such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor

 

48

 

Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates.

 

Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding
paragraph, as the case may be.

 

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

 

Section 6.12         Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 

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

 

Section 6.13         Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

If and when the Trustee
shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other
obligor).

 

Section 6.14         Appointment
of Authenticating Agent.

 

The Trustee may appoint
an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes
as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in
this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed
to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating

 

49

 

Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having (or if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a
bank holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital
and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. 
If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

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

 

An Authenticating Agent
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to
the Company.  The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the
manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible
under the provisions of this Section.

 

The Company agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section.

 

If an appointment with
respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.12, the
Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in
the following form:

 

50

 

This is one of the

the interests of the Holders of Securities of any series in any material
respect; or

 

(11)         to supplement any of the provisions of
the Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to permit or facilitate the
defeasance and discharge of any series of Securities pursuant to

adversely affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or
any other series of Securities in any material respect.

(1)           change the Stated Maturity of the
principal of, or any installment of principal of or interest on, any Security,
or reduce the principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any

ARTICLE 10

COVENANTS

 

Section 10.1         Payment of Principal, Premium and
Interest.

 

The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities
of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture.

 

Section 10.2         Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 

The Company will maintain
in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for conversion and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities
of that series and this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office
or agency.  If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.  Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental
indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Place of Payment for any
series of Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

The Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such

 

57

 

designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office
or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes.  The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

Section 10.3         Money for Securities Payments to be
Held in Trust.

 

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

 

Whenever the Company
shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on
or prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any
Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

The Company will cause
each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.

 

The Company may at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those
upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon
such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Any money deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date
that is ten Business Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the State
or two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying
Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as
trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however,
that the Trustee or such Paying Agent,

 

58

 

before being required to
make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to be
published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in each Place of
Payment, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

 

Section 10.4         Statement by Officers as to Default.

 

The Company will deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether
or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default
in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in
default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge. The Company will give the Trustee prompt written
notice of any change of its fiscal year.

 

Section 10.5         Existence.

 

Subject to Article 8,
the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence.

 

Section 10.6         Maintenance of Properties.

 

The Company will cause
all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained
and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all
necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as, and to the extent,
in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on
in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all
times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of
such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders.

 

Section 10.7         Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

 

The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits or property of the
Company, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies
which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid
or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (i) whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings or (ii) if the failure to pay or discharge would not have a
material adverse effect on the assets, business, operations, properties or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken
as a whole.

 

59

 

Section 10.8         Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 

Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series,
the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19), 9.1(2), 9.1(7), 10.6
or 10.7 for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and
the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition
shall remain in full force and effect.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 11.1         Applicability of Article.

 

Securities of any series
that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article.

 

Section 11.2         Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

 

The election of the
Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in
another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such
Securities.  In case of any redemption at
the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series
(including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the
Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such
series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed.  In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction.

 

Section 11.3         Selection by Trustee of Securities to
Be Redeemed.

 

If less than all the
Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such
series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for
redemption, by lot, or in the Trustee’s discretion, on a pro-rata basis, provided
that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in
an authorized

 

60

 

denomination (which shall
not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If
less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in
accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

If any Security selected
for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the
converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the
portion selected for redemption. 
Securities that have been converted during a selection of Securities to
be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of
such selection.

 

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

 

The provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting
only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in
part.  In the case of any such redemption
in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be
in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination) for such Security.

 

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

 

Section 11.4         Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption
shall be given electronically or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register.

 

All notices of redemption
shall state:

 

(1)           the Redemption Date,

 

(2)           the Redemption Price (including
accrued interest, if any),

 

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

 

61

 

if less than all the
Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be
redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,

 

(4)           in case any Security is to be
redeemed in part only, that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of
such Security, the Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new
Security or Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount
thereof remaining unredeemed,

Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

 

(7)           if applicable, the conversion price
or conversion rate, as the case may be, the date on which the right to convert
the principal of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will
terminate, and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for

Section 11.5         Deposit of Redemption Price.

the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be

cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender
of any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with
accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

 

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

 

Section 11.7         Securities Redeemed in Part.

 

Any Security which is to
be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of Payment therefor

Section 12.1         Applicability of Article.

 

The provisions of this Article shall
be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any
series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for
such Securities.

 

The minimum amount of any
sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.”  If provided for by the terms of any
Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 12.2. 
Each sinking

 

63

 

fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by the terms of such
Securities.

 

Section 12.2         Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments
with Securities.

 

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

Fund.

 

Not fewer than 60 days prior
to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of
cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also deliver to
the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not fewer than 30 days prior to
each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at
the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4.  Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 11.6 and 11.7.

 

ARTICLE 13

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section 13.1         Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may elect, at
its option at any time, to have Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 applied
to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated
pursuant to Section 3.1 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.2
or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1
and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.  Any such election shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1

Section 13.2         Defeasance and Discharge.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such
Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness
represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)           the rights of Holders of such
Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4
and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are
due,

 

(2)           the Company’s obligations with
respect to such Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3,
and, if applicable, Article 14,

 

(3)           the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, and

 

(4)           this Article.

 

Subject to compliance
with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied
to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to
have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities.

 

Section 13.3         Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be,

 

(1)           the Company shall be released from
its obligations under Sections 10.6 and 10.7 and any covenants provided
pursuant to Sections 3.1(19), 9.1(2) or 9.1(7) for the benefit
of the Holders of such Securities and

 

(2)           the occurrence of any event specified
in Section 5.1(4) (with respect to any of Sections 10.6 and 10.7
and any such covenants provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19), 9.1(2) or
9.1(7)) and the occurrence of any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1
shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default,

 

in each case with respect
to such Securities or any series of Securities as provided in this Section on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied
(hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). 
For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term,

 

65

 

condition or limitation
set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the
case of Section 5.1(4) and the occurrence of any Event of Default
specified pursuant to Section 3.1), whether directly or indirectly by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason
of any reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in
any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
shall be unaffected thereby.

 

Section 13.4         Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.

 

The following shall be
the conditions to the application of Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 to
any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

 

(1)           The Company shall irrevocably have
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which
satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 6.9 and agrees to
comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust
funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically
pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders
of such Securities,

 

(A)          in the case of Securities of a series

(i)            cash in currency of the United
States of America in an amount, or

 

(ii)           U.S. Government Obligations which

accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment, an amount in cash, or

 

(iii)          a combination thereof, or

 

(B)           in the case of Securities of a series
denominated in currency other than that of the United States of America,

 

(i)            cash in the currency in which such
series of Securities is denominated in an amount, or

 

(ii)           Foreign Government Obligations which
through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in
accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due
date of any payment, an amount in cash, or

 

(iii)          a combination thereof,

 

in each case sufficient,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or
any such other qualifying trustee) to

 

66

 

pay and discharge, the
principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities on the respective
Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
Securities.

 

(2)           In the event of an election to have Section 13.2
apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been
a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on
the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

 

(3)           In the event of an election to have Section 13.3
apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be
the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

 

(4)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities
nor any other Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities
exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit.

 

(5)           No event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such
Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the
time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in
Sections 5.1(5) and (6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day
after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition shall
not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

 

(6)           Such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within
the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default
within the meaning of such Act).

 

(7)           Such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a
default under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound.

 

(8)           Such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting
an investment company within the meaning of the Investment

 

67

 

Company Act unless such
trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration
thereunder.

 

(9)           The Company shall have delivered to
the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating
that all conditions precedent with respect to such Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance have been complied with.

 

Section 13.5         Deposited Money, U.S. Government
Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations to be Held in Trust;
Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money, U.S. Government
Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of
this Section and Section 13.6, the Trustee and any such other trustee
are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 in
respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or
Foreign Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the
principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee
or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding
Securities.  Anything in this Article to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company
from time to time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations
or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4
with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

 

Section 13.6         Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or the
Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with
respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from
which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.2
or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time
as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities in accordance
with this Article; provided,  however, that if the Company
makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such
Security following such

 

68

 

reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in
trust.

 

ARTICLE 14

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 14.1         Applicability of Article.

 

The provisions of this Article shall
be applicable to the Securities of any series which are convertible into shares
of Common Stock of the Company, and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock
upon the conversion of such Securities, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series.

 

Section 14.2         Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

 

In order to exercise a
conversion privilege, the Holder of a Security of a series with such a
privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by a
duly executed conversion notice to the Company substantially in the form set
forth in Section 2.6 stating that the Holder elects to convert such
Security or a specified portion thereof. 
Such notice shall also state, if different from the name and address of
such Holder, the name or names (with address) in which the certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such
conversion shall be issued.  Securities
surrendered for conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee)
be duly endorsed by or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or its
attorney duly authorized in writing; and Securities so surrendered for
conversion (in whole or in part) during the period from the close of business
on any Regular Record Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date (excluding Securities or portions thereof called for
redemption during the period beginning at the close of business on a Regular
Record Date and ending at the opening of business on the first Business Day
after the next succeeding Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment
Date is not a Business Day, the second such Business Day) shall also be
accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to
the interest payable on such Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of
such Security then being converted, and such interest shall be payable to such
Holder notwithstanding the conversion of such Security, subject to the
provisions of Section 3.7 relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by
the Company. As promptly as practicable after the receipt of such notice and of
any payment required pursuant to a Board Resolution and, subject to Section 3.3,
set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in an Officers’ Certificate,
or established in one or more indentures supplemental hereto setting forth the
terms of such series of Security, and the surrender of such Security in
accordance with such reasonable regulations as the Company may prescribe, the
Company shall issue and shall deliver, at the office or agency at which such
Security is surrendered, to such Holder or on its written order, a certificate
or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon the
conversion of such Security (or specified portion thereof), in accordance with
the provisions of such Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or

 

69

 

supplemental indenture,
and cash as provided therein in respect of any fractional share of such Common
Stock otherwise issuable upon such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed
to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the date on
which such notice and such payment, if required, shall have been received in
proper order for conversion by the Company and such Security shall have been
surrendered as aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so surrendered such
Security and shall have instructed the Company to effect the conversion on a
particular date following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to
convert such Security on such date, in which case such conversion shall be
deemed to be effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date)
and at such time the rights of the Holder of such Security as such Security
Holder shall cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any
certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be
issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Holder or
Holders of record of the shares represented thereby. Except as set forth above
and subject to the final paragraph of Section 3.7, no payment or
adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any interest accrued
on the Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for conversion or on
account of any dividends on the Common Stock of the Company issued upon such
conversion.  In the case of any Security
which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the
same series, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal
to the unconverted portion of such Security.

 

Section 14.3         No Fractional Shares.

 

No fractional share of
Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon conversions of Securities of
any series.  If more than one Security
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number
of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.  If, except for the provisions of this Section 14.3,
any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a fractional share
of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such Security or
Securities, or specified portions thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder
an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such fractional share
computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of
the last reported sale price regular way on such exchange or market on the last
trading day prior to the date of conversion upon which such a sale shall have been
effected, or (ii)  if such Common Stock is not at the time so listed or
admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or
market, on the basis of the average of the bid and asked prices of such Common
Stock in the over-the-counter market, on the last trading day prior to the date
of conversion, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or
similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated is no
longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market
price as determined by the Board of Directors. For purposes of this Section, “trading
day” shall mean each Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than
any day on which the Common Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange,
or if the Common Stock is not traded on the

 

70

 

New York Stock Exchange,
on the principal exchange or market on which the Common Stock is traded or
quoted.

 

Section 14.4         Adjustment of Conversion Price or
Conversion Rate.

 

The conversion price or
conversion rate, as the case may be, of Securities of any series that is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall be adjusted for any stock
dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar
transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or
Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of the Securities of such
series.  Whenever the conversion price or
conversion rate, as the case may be, is adjusted, the Company shall compute the
adjusted conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, in accordance
with terms of the applicable Board Resolution or supplemental indenture and
shall prepare an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted conversion
price or conversion rate, as the case may be, and showing in reasonable detail
the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate shall
forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2 and, if different, with
the Trustee. The Company shall forthwith cause a notice setting forth the
adjusted conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, to be sent
electronically or mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Holder of
Securities of such series at its address appearing on the Security Register and
to any conversion agent other than the Trustee.

 

Section 14.5         Notice of Certain Corporate Actions.

 

In case:

 

(1)           the Company shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash
out of its retained earnings (other than a dividend for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an adjustment
pursuant to Section 14.4; or

 

(2)           the Company shall authorize the
granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of
rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which
approval of any shareholders of the Company is required); or

 

(3)           of any reclassification of the Common
Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share
exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required), or of the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(4)           of the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

 

71

 

then the Company shall cause to be filed with the
Trustee, and shall cause to be sent to all Holders as they shall appear in the
Security Register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in
clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the applicable record date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the date on which a record is
to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights, options or
warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders
of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution,
rights, options or warrants are to be determined, or (ii) the date on
which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share
exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. If at any time the
Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall also
forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

 

Section 14.6         Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of Common Stock of the
Company then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities of any
series that has conversion rights.

 

Section 14.7         Payment of Certain Taxes upon
Conversion.

 

Except as provided in the next sentence, the Company
will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or
delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion of Securities pursuant
hereto.  The Company shall not, however,
be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect of any transfer
involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common Stock in a name
other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to be converted,
and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person
requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such tax, or
has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has been
paid.

 

Section 14.8         Nonassessability.

 

The Company covenants that all shares of its Common
Stock that may be issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue in
accordance with the terms hereof be duly and validly issued and fully paid and
nonassessable.

 

Section 14.9         Provision in Case of Consolidation,
Merger or Sale of Assets.

 

In case of any consolidation or merger of the Company
with or into any other Person, any merger of another Person with or into the
Company (other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification,
conversion, exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of
the Company) or any conveyance, sale, transfer or lease of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or
resulting from such merger or which acquires

 

72

 

such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of
a series then Outstanding that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company
shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be the exclusive conversion
right thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such Security
shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which
merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of
a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election,
if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
(provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or
lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in
respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised (“Non-electing
Share”), then for the purpose of this Section 14.9 the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share
shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a
plurality of the Non-electing Shares). Such supplemental indenture shall
provide for adjustments which, for events subsequent to the effective date of
such supplemental indenture, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article or in
accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or Board Resolutions
setting forth the terms of such adjustments. 
The above provisions of this Section 14.9 shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or
leases.  Notice of the execution of such
a supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each
Security of a series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company as
provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution.  Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent,
if any, shall be under any responsibility to determine the correctness of any
provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the
kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property or cash
receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible into Common Stock
of the Company upon the conversion of their Securities after any such consolidation,
merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any such adjustment, but may
accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such provisions, and
shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel with respect thereto,
which the Company shall cause to be furnished to the Trustee upon request.

 

Section 14.10       Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion.

 

Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall at
any time be under any duty or responsibility to any Holder of Securities of any
series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company to determine
whether any facts exist which may require any adjustment of the conversion

 

73

 

price or conversion rate, as the case may be, or with respect to the
nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with respect to the
method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental indenture, any
resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or
more officers of the Company provided to be employed in making the same.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect
to the validity or value (or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock
of the Company, or of any securities or property, which may at any time be
issued or delivered upon the conversion of any Securities and neither the
Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any representation with respect
thereto.  Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1,
neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be responsible for any
failure of the Company to issue, transfer or deliver any shares of its Common
Stock or stock certificates or other securities or property upon the surrender
of any Security for the purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the
covenants of the Company contained in this Article 14 or in the applicable
supplemental indenture, resolutions of the Board of Directors or written
instrument executed by one or more duly authorized officers of the Company.

 

Section 14.11       Repayment of Certain Funds upon
Conversion.

 

Any funds which at any time shall have been deposited
by the Company or on its behalf with the Trustee or any other paying agent for
the purpose of paying the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if
any, on any of the Securities (including, but not limited to, funds deposited
for the sinking fund referred to in Article 12 hereof and funds deposited
pursuant to Article 13 hereof) and which shall not be required for such
purposes because of the conversion of such Securities as provided in this Article 14
shall after such conversion be repaid to the Company by the Trustee upon the
Company’s written request.

permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing;
and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and,
where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company.  The Trustee shall promptly deliver to the
Company copies of all such instrument or instruments delivered to the
Trustee.  Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or
instruments.  Proof of execution of any
such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient

or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying
that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him or
her the execution thereof.  Where such execution

 

11

 

is by a signer
acting in a capacity other than his or her individual capacity, such

execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person
executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner that the Trustee
deems sufficient.

Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of

exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or
suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether
or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 

The Company may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, vote, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders
of Securities of such series, provided that the Company may not set
a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with
respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration, request or
direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant
to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series
on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the
relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided
that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to
the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which
a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal
amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action
is taken.  Promptly after any record date
is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

 

The Trustee may set any
day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 5.2,
(iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.7(2) or
(iv) any direction referred to in Section 5.12, in each case with
respect to Securities of such series.  If
any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or
not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no
such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be

 

12

 

construed to
prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any action for which a
record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be canceled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount
of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is
taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to
the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series
in the manner set forth in Section 1.6.

 

With respect to any
record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which sets such
record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from time to
time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided
that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each
Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 1.6,
on or prior to the existing Expiration Date. 
If an Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date
set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall
be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as
the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than
the 180th day after the applicable record date.

 

Without limiting the
foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard

Section 1.5                                   Notices, etc., to Trustee and
Company. 
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act
of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made
upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,

 

(1)                                  the Trustee by any Holder or by the
Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,
furnished or filed in writing (or by facsimile transmissions, provided that
oral confirmation of receipt shall have been received) to or with the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Services, or

 

(2)                                  the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein
expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,

Section 1.6                                   Notice to Holders; Waiver.

 

Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by hand or overnight courier, to each
Holder affected by such event, at its address as it appears in the Security
Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the
earliest date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.  Neither the failure to mail or deliver by
hand or overnight courier any notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed or
delivered by hand or overnight courier, to any particular Holder shall affect
the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders.  Where this Indenture provides for notice in
any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice.  Waivers
of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not
be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon
such waiver.

 

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

 

Whenever under this
Indenture the Trustee is required to provide any notice by mail, in all cases
the Trustee may alternatively provide notice by overnight courier, electronic
transmission or by facsimile, with confirmation of transmission.

 

Section 1.7                                   Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act.

 

If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that
is required under the Trust Indenture Act to be a part of and govern this
Indenture, the latter provision shall control. 
If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of
the Trust Indenture Act, which may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision
shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as
the case may be.

the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not
in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

Nothing in this Indenture
or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, the holders of Senior Debt
and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture.

INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

Section 1.13                            Legal Holidays.

 

In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security or
the last date on which a Holder has the right to convert a Security at a
particular conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, shall not
be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any
Security which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of
this Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) or, if
applicable to a particular series of Securities, conversion need not be made at
such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding
Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made
on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption Date, at the Stated Maturity or on
such last day for conversion, as the case may be.

 

Section 1.14                            Indenture and Securities Solely
Corporate Obligations.

payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security, or
for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, and no recourse
under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of the Company in this
Indenture or in any supplemental indenture or in any Security, or because of
the creation of any indebtedness represented thereby, shall be had against any
incorporator, stockholder, employee, agent, officer, or director or subsidiary,
as such, past, present or future, of the Company or of any successor
corporation, either directly or through the Company or any successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of
law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise; it being
expressly understood that all such liability is hereby expressly waived and
released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this
Indenture and the issue of the Securities.

interest at the rate of       % per annum (to the
extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from

payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand].  The interest so payable, and punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest, which shall be the                       
or                       
(whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such

to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person
in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture].

Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert — The
principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a
default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at Stated
Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall
bear interest at the rate of       % per annum
(to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),

payment.  Interest on any overdue

premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of       %
per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest shall be
legally enforceable), from the date of such demand until the amount so demanded
is paid or made available for payment. 
Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable on demand.]  Payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) and [if applicable, insert — any such]

mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall
appear in the Security Register].

one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the

Indenture.]

 

[If
applicable, insert — Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may
not, prior to                     ,
redeem any Securities of this series as contemplated by [if
applicable, insert — clause (2) of] the preceding
paragraph as a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the
application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an interest cost
to the Company (calculated in accordance with generally accepted financial
practice) of less than       % per annum.]

 

[If
applicable, insert — The sinking fund for this series provides for
the redemption on                       ,

redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [if
applicable, insert — mandatory] sinking fund payments may be
credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert —
mandatory]

sinking fund
payments otherwise required to be made if applicable, insert —,
in the inverse order in which they become due].]

 

[If the
Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert — In the event
of redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of
this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

 

[If
applicable, insert — The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance at any time of [the entire indebtedness of this Security] [or]
[certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this
Security] [, in each case] upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in
the Indenture.]

 

[If the
Security is convertible into Common Stock of the Company, insert —
Subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security is
entitled, at its option, at any time on or before [insert date]
(except that, in case this Security or any portion hereof shall be called for
redemption, such right shall terminate with respect to this Security or portion
hereof, as the case may be, so called for redemption at the close of business
on the first Business Day next preceding the date fixed for redemption as
provided in the Indenture unless the Company defaults in making the payment due
upon redemption), to convert the principal amount of this Security (or any
portion hereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple thereof), into fully
paid and non-assessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the nearest
1/100th of a share) of the Common Stock of the Company, as said shares shall be
constituted at the date of conversion, at the conversion price of $                          
principal amount of Securities for each share of Common Stock, or at the
adjusted conversion price in effect at the date of conversion determined as
provided in the Indenture, upon surrender of this Security, together with the
conversion notice hereon duly executed, to the Company at the designated office
or agency of the Company in                         ,
accompanied (if so required by the Company) by instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company and to the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder or
by its duly authorized attorney in writing.

 

Such surrender shall, if
made during any period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date
and ending at the opening of business on the Interest Payment Date next
following such Regular Record Date (unless this Security or the portion being
converted shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date during the
period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending
at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
the second such Business Day), also be accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of this Security then being
converted. Subject to the aforesaid requirement for payment and, in the case of
a conversion after the Regular Record Date next preceding any Interest Payment
Date and on or before such Interest Payment Date, to the right of the Holder of
this Security (or any Predecessor Security) of record at such Regular Record
Date to receive an installment of interest (with certain exceptions provided in
the Indenture), no adjustment is to be made on conversion for

 

20

 

interest accrued
hereon or for dividends on shares of Common Stock issued on conversion. The
Company is not required to issue fractional shares upon any such conversion,
but shall make adjustment therefor in cash on the basis of the current market
value of such fractional interest as provided in the Indenture.  The conversion price is subject to adjustment
as provided in the Indenture.  In
addition, the Indenture provides that in case of certain consolidations or
mergers to which the Company is a party or the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company, the Indenture shall be amended, without the consent of
any Holders of Securities, so that this Security, if then outstanding, will be
convertible thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as
specified above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon the consolidation, merger or sale by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock into which this Security might have been
converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or sale (assuming
such holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and
received per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of
non-electing shares). In the event of conversion of this Security in part only,
a new Security or Securities for the unconverted portion hereof shall be issued
in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

 

[If the
Security is convertible into other securities of the Company, specify the
conversion features.]

 

The indebtedness
evidenced by this Security is, to the extent and in the manner provided in the
Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in
full of all Senior Debt of the Company, and this Security is issued subject to
such provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto.  Each Holder of this Security, by accepting
the same, (a) agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes
and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary
or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints
the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

[If the
Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]

 

[If the
Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert — If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be
declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.  Such amount shall be equal to
— insert formula for determining the amount.  Upon payment (i) of the amount of
principal so declared due and payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue
principal, premium and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of
such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations
in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium and interest, if any,
on the Securities of this series shall terminate.]

 

The Indenture permits,
with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the
modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the
Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at
any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of more
than 50% in principal amount of the Securities at the

 

21

 

time Outstanding
of each series to be affected.  The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified
percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at the time
Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to
waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and
certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the
registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 

As provided in and
subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall
not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or
for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy
thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of this
series, the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the
Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction
inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such
proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity.  The foregoing shall not apply
to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of
any payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after
the respective due dates expressed herein.

 

No reference herein to
the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter
or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security at the
times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of
this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in
any place where the principal of and any premium and interest on this Security
are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The Securities of this
series are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of
$           and any integral
multiple thereof.  As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities of
this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of
Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

22

 

No service charge shall
be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith.

 

Prior to due presentment
of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such
agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

All terms used in this
Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Indenture.

Date for any such interest payable on any Interest Payment Date (or the method
for determining the dates and rates);

 

(6)                                  the place or places where the principal

States of America, the currency, currencies or currency units in which the
principal of or any premium or interest on any Securities of the series shall
be payable and the manner of determining the equivalent thereof in the currency
of the United States of America for any purpose, including for purposes of the

series, in whole or any specified part, shall be defeasible pursuant to Section 13.2
or Section 13.3 or both such Sections, or any other defeasance provisions

series shall be issuable in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global
Securities and, in such case, the respective Depositaries for such Global

Global Security in addition to or in lieu of that set forth in Section 2.4
and any circumstances in addition to or in lieu of those set forth in

(20)                            any Authenticating Agents, Paying Agents,

(24)                            any other terms of the series (which

27

 

All Securities of any one
series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as
may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to
above and (subject to Section 3.3) set forth, or determined in the manner
provided, in the Officers’ Certificate referred to above or in any such
indenture supplemental hereto.

 

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

 

The Securities shall be
subordinated in right of payment to Senior Debt as provided in Article 15.

 

Section 3.2                                   Denominations.

 

The Securities of each
series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in
such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 3.1.  In the absence of any such specified
denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of
such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiple thereof.

 

Section 3.3                                   Execution, Authentication,
Delivery and Dating.

 

The Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice
Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its principal financial
officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, attested by its
Treasurer, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Treasurers or Assistant
Secretaries.  The signature of any of
these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

Securities bearing the
manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper
officers of the 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.

 

At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  If the form or terms of the Securities of the
series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as
permitted by Sections 2.1 and 3.1, in authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 6.1)
shall be fully protected in relying upon, a copy of such Board Resolution, the
Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of the series and an Opinion of
Counsel, with such Opinion of Counsel stating,

 

28

 

(1)                                  if the form of such Securities has been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.1,
that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

 

(2)                                  if the terms of such Securities have been
established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 3.1,
that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; 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 enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent
transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights and to general equity principles.

 

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

 

Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 3.1 and of the preceding paragraph, 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 3.1 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the
authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered
at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security
of such series to be issued.

 

Each Security shall be
dated the date of its authentication.

 

No Security shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual
signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence,
and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall deliver
such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 3.9,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

 

Neither the Company nor
the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any defect in the CUSIP number
that appears on any Security, check, advice of payment or redemption notice,
and any such document may contain a statement to the effect that CUSIP numbers
have been assigned by an independent service for convenience of reference and
that neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be liable for any inaccuracy in
such numbers.

 

29

 

Section 3.4                                   Temporary Securities.

 

Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon
Company Order 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 and with such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the
officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their
execution of such Securities.

 

If temporary Securities
of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of that
series to be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive
Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of such series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder.  Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor one or more
definitive Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and
of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. 
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 and tenor.

 

Section 3.5                                   Registration; Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.

 

The Company shall cause
to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a register (the
register maintained in such office and in any other office or agency of the
Company in a Place of Payment being 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 Securities
and of transfers of Securities.  The
Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

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

 

At the option of the
Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of the
same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such
office or agency.  Whenever any
Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making
the exchange is entitled to receive.  All
Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be the valid obligations of the 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.

 

30

 

Every 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 its attorney duly
authorized in writing.

 

No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.4,
9.6 or 11.7 not involving any transfer.

 

If the Securities of any
series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the
Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor,
as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15
days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any such
Securities selected for redemption under Section 11.3 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in
part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.

 

The provisions of
clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global
Securities:

 

(1)                                  Each Global Security authenticated under
this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for
such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

 

(2)                                  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for
Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part
may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such
Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency
registered under the Exchange Act, (B) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there
shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 3.1.

 

(3)                                  Subject to clause (2) above,
any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or
in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any
portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such
Global Security shall direct.

 

(4)                                  Every Security authenticated and
delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a
Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.4,
3.6, 9.6 or 11.7 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form
of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the
name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a
nominee thereof.

Section 3.6                                   Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities.

 

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

 

If there shall be
delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any
agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company
or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 3.7                                   Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved.

 

Except as otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 3.1 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid
or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person
in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest.

 

Any interest on any
Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular
Record Date by virtue of having been such 

 

32

 

Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (1) or (2) below:

 

(1)                                  The Company may elect to make payment of
any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such
series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee
shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest,
which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. 
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record
Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner
set forth in Section 1.6, 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 given, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date
and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

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

 

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.

 

Subject to the provisions
of Section 14.2, in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which
is converted after any Regular Record Date and on or prior to the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date (other than any Security the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) which shall become due and payable, whether at Stated
Maturity or by declaration of acceleration or otherwise prior to such Interest
Payment Date), interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date
shall 

 

33

 

be payable on such
Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion and such interest
(whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) shall be paid to the
Person in whose name that Security (or any one or more Predecessor Securities)
is registered at the close of business on such Regular Record Date. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence or in Section 14.2,
in the case of any Security (or any part thereof) which is converted, interest
whose Stated Maturity is after the date of conversion of such Security (or such
part thereof) shall not be payable.

 

Section 3.8                                   Persons Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment
of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such
Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of
receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 3.7)
any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such 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.

 

Section 3.9                                   Cancellation.

 

All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or
for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person
other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly
canceled 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 may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person
for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all
Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of
or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except
as expressly permitted by this Indenture. 
All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be cancelled and
disposed of in accordance with its customary procedures.

 

Section 3.10                            Computation of Interest.

 

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

for),

 

34

 

and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging

(1)                                  either

 

(A)                              all Securities theretofore authenticated
and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.6
and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited
in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Trustee or the Company and

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation

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

Company,

 

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as
trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and
discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered

an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.

deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of clause (1) of
this Section, the obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.2 and the

of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to Section 4.1 shall be held in trust and applied by it,

acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Persons
entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose
payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether
it shall be occasioned by the provisions of Article 15 or be voluntary or
involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment,
decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any
administrative or governmental body), unless in the Board Resolution,
supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate establishing such series, it is
provided that such series shall not have the benefit of said Event of Default:

 

(1)           default in the payment of any interest upon any
Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of
such default for a period of 90 days; or

 

(2)           default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium on any Security of that series at its Maturity; or

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

 

(5)           the entry by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in
an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or

 

36

 

(B) a decree or
order adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly
filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition
of or in respect of the Company under any applicable Federal or State law, or
appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator
or other similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of its
property, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and the
continuance of any such decree or order for relief or any such other decree or
order unstayed and in effect for a period of 90 consecutive days; or

 

(6)           the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or
proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a

proceeding under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or to the commencement of any bankruptcy or
insolvency case or proceeding against it, or the filing by it of a petition or
answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal
or State law, or the consent by it to the filing of such petition or to the
appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of
any substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for
the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to
pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate action
by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or

 

(7)           any other Event of Default provided with respect to
Securities of that series in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officers’ Certificate establishing that series.

 

Section 5.2            Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment.

 

(a)           Unless the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture or
Officers’ Certificate establishing such series provides otherwise, if an Event
of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or
5.1(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs
and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series
may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if
any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the
terms thereof), and premium, if any, together with accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, thereon, to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such
declaration such principal amount (or specified amount), and premium, if any,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall become
immediately due and payable.  If an Event
of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or 5.1(6) with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount
of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of
such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof), and premium, if any,
together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall
automatically, and without any declaration or

 

37

 

other action on the part
of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.  Any payments by the Company on the Securities
following any such acceleration will be subject to the subordination provisions
of Article 15 to the extent provided therein.

 

(b)           Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the election of the
Company, the sole remedy with respect to an Event of Default for the failure by
the Company to comply with its obligations under Section 314(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act relating to the Company’s failure to file any documents
or reports that the Company is required to file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act or of its covenants set forth in Section 7.4
(any such Event of Default, a “Reporting Default”), shall for the first 180
calendar days after the occurrence of such Reporting Default consist
exclusively of the right to receive additional interest (the “Additional
Interest”) on the Securities at an annual rate equal to (i) 0.25% of the
principal amount of the Securities for the first 90 calendar days after the
occurrence of such Reporting Default and (ii) 0.50% of the principal
amount of the Securities from the 91st day to, and including, the 180th day
after the occurrence of such Reporting Default. 
If the Company so elects, the Additional Interest shall accrue on all
Outstanding Securities from and including the date on which such Reporting
Default first occurs until such violation is cured or waived and shall be
payable as provided in Section 3.7. 
On the 181st day after such Reporting Default (if such violation is not
cured or waived prior to such 181st calendar day), then the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding securities
may declare the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all such
Securities to be due and payable immediately.

 

If the Company elects to
pay the Additional Interest as the sole remedy for the Reporting Default, the
Company shall notify in writing, by a certificate, the Holders, the Paying
Agent and the Trustee of such election at any time on or before the close of
business on the first Business Day following the date on which such Event of
Default first occurs.  Unless and until a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee receives at the Corporate Trust Office such
a certificate, the Trustee may assume without inquiry that Additional Interest
is not payable.  The Company shall pay
the Additional Interest semi-annually in arrears, with the first semi-annual
payment due on the first Interest Payment Date following the date of such
Reporting Default, in the same manner as described on the face of the Security.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

38

 

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

 

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

 

(2)           all Events of Default with respect to Securities of
that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that
series that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

 

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

 

Section 5.3            Collection of Indebtedness and
Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

The Company covenants
that if

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.4            Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim.

 

In case of any judicial
proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities),
its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions
authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of the Holders
and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. 
In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive
any moneys or other property payable or

 

39

 

deliverable on any such
claims and to distribute the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee,
trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments
to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making
of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due
it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.  No provision of this Indenture shall be
deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding; provided, however, that the Trustee may, on
behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or
similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or other similar committee.

 

Section 5.5            Trustee May Enforce Claims
Without Possession of Securities.

 

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

 

Section 5.6            Application of Money Collected.

 

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

 

FIRST:  To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee
under Section 6.7;

 

SECOND:  Subject to Article 15, to the payment of
the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium, if any, and
interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such
money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and
any premium, if any, and interest, respectively; and

 

THIRD:  The balance, if any, to the Company or any
other Person or Persons entitled thereto.

 

Section 5.7            Limitation on Suits.

 

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

 

40

 

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

 

(2)           the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request
to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
its own name as Trustee hereunder;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 5.8            Unconditional Right of Holders to
Receive Principal, Premium and Interest and to Convert.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right,
which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 3.7) interest on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date), to convert such Securities in accordance
with Article 14 to the extent that such right to convert is applicable to
such Security, and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 5.9            Restoration of Rights and
Remedies.

 

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

 

41

 

Section 5.10         Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

 

Except as otherwise
provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed,
lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.6, no right
or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity or otherwise.  The
assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

 

Section 5.11         Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

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

 

Section 5.12         Control by Holders.

 

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

 

(1)           such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of
law or with this Indenture and the Trustee shall not have determined that the
action so directed would be unjustly prejudicial to Holders of Securities of
that series, or any other series, not taking part in such direction; and

 

(2)           the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by
the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction or this Indenture.

 

Section 5.13         Waiver of Past Defaults.

 

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

 

(1)           a default in the payment of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Security of such series as and when the same shall
become due and payable by the terms thereof, otherwise than by acceleration
(unless such default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured
installments of interest, principal and premium, if any, has been deposited
with the Trustee), or

 

42

 

(2)           to the extent such right is applicable to such
Security, a failure by the Company on request to convert any Security into
Common Stock; or

 

(3)           in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which
under Article 9 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected.

 

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

 

Section 5.14         Undertaking for Costs.

 

In any suit for the
enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against
the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court
may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in
the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that
neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an
assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or in any suit for the
enforcement of the right to convert any Security in accordance with Article 14.

 

Section 5.15         Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

 

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

 

ARTICLE 6

 

THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 6.1            Certain Duties and
Responsibilities.

 

The duties and
responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture
Act.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of
its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if it
shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.  Whether or not therein expressly so
provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

 

43

 

Section 6.2            Notice of Defaults.

 

If a default occurs
hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the
Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the
extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however,
that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of such series or in the payment
of any sinking fund installment or any conversion right applicable to
Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such
notice if and so long as a trust committee of Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the
interests of the holders of Securities of such series; provided, further, 
however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.1(4) with
respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given
until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event that is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
such series.

 

Except with respect to Section 10.1,
the Trustee shall have no duty to inquire as to the performance of the Company
with respect to the covenants contained in Article 10.  In addition, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have knowledge of an Event of Default except (i) any Default or Event
of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 5.1(1), 5.1(2) and 5.1(3) (defaults
in payments on the Securities) or (ii) any Default or Event of Default of
which the Trustee shall have received written notification or obtained actual
knowledge.

 

Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under Section 7.4 is for
informational purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of the foregoing shall
not constitute constructive notice of any information contained therein or
determinable from information contained therein, including the Company’s
compliance with any of their covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is
entitled to rely conclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

 

Section 6.3            Certain Rights of Trustee.

 

Subject to the provisions
of Section 6.1:

 

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

 

(2)           any request or direction of the Company mentioned
herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order,
and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be sufficiently evidenced by
a Board Resolution;

 

(3)           whenever in the administration of this Indenture the
Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any

 

44

 

action hereunder, the
Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) is entitled
to and may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’
Certificate;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(7)           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;

 

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

 

(9)           in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable
for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever
(including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of whether the
Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage and
regardless of the form of action;

 

(10)         the Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any
Default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is in fact
such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and the Indenture; and

 

(11)         the rights, privileges, protections, immunities and
benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be
indemnified, are extended to, and shall

 

45

 

be enforceable by, the
Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and
other Person employed to act hereunder.

 

Section 6.4            Not Responsible for Recitals or
Issuance of Securities.

 

The recitals contained
herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s certificates of
authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any responsibility for their
correctness.  The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity, sufficiency or priority of this Indenture
or of the Securities.  Neither the
Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

 

Section 6.5            May Hold Securities and Act
as Trustee under Other Indentures.

 

The Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other
agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the
owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such
other agent.

 

Subject to the
limitations imposed by the Trust Indenture Act, nothing in this Indenture shall
prohibit the Trustee from becoming and acting as trustee under other indentures
under which other securities, or certificates of interest of participation in
other securities, of the Company are outstanding in the same manner as if it
were not Trustee hereunder.

 

Section 6.6            Money Held in Trust.

 

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

 

Section 6.7            Compensation and Reimbursement.

 

The Company agrees:

 

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

 

(2)           except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;
and

 

46

 

(3)           to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad
faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and expenses
of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.  The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.7
to compensate or indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for
expenses, disbursements and advances shall be secured by a lien prior to that
of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee
as such.  The obligation of the Company
under this Section shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture.

 

When the Trustee incurs
expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 5.1(5) or
Section 5.1(6) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for
the services (including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are
intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar law.

 

Section 6.8            Conflicting Interests.

 

If the Trustee has or
shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture
Act and there is an Event of Default under the Securities of that series, the
Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign, to the extent and in
the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture
Act and this Indenture.  To the extent
permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with
respect to Securities of more than one series.

 

Section 6.9            Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times
be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each
series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series.  Each Trustee shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has (or if the
Trustee is a member of a bank holding company system, its bank holding company
has) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000.  If any such Person or bank holding company
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act,
the combined capital and surplus of such Person or bank holding company shall
be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. 
If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article.

 

Section 6.10         Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

No resignation or removal
of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall
become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee
in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.  The Trustee may resign at any time

 

47

 

with respect to the
Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company.  If the instrument of acceptance
by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been
delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of such series.

 

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

 

If at any time:

 

(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any such Holder, or

 

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

 

then, in any such case, (A) the
Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (B) subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

If the Trustee shall
resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur
in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one
or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a
successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those
series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be appointed
with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at
any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11.  If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 6.11, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by

 

48

 

Section 6.11, the
retiring Trustee may petition, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of
a Security of such series for at least six months may petition, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, any court of competent jurisdiction
for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series.

 

The Company shall give
notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of Securities of such
series in the manner provided in Section 1.6.  Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address
of its Corporate Trust Office.

 

Section 6.11         Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

 

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

 

In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall
execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor
Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall contain such
provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and
to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of
the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the
retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain
such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to
the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with
all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor

 

49

 

Trustee relates; but, on
request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and
money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.

 

Upon request of any such
successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more
fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding
paragraph, as the case may be.

 

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

 

Section 6.12         Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 

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

 

Section 6.13         Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

If and when the Trustee
shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other
obligor).

 

Section 6.14         Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

 

The Trustee may appoint
an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon
exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to
Section 3.6, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes
as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. 
Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the authentication and
delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and
delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating

 

50

 

Agent and a certificate
of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating
Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall
be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State
thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as
Authenticating Agent, having (or if the Authenticating Agent is a member of a
bank holding company system, its bank holding company has) a combined capital
and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority. 
If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined
capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published.  If at any time
an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

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

 

An Authenticating Agent
may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to
the Company.  The Trustee may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice
thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation
or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the
manner provided in Section 1.6 to all Holders of Securities of the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve.  Any successor Authenticating Agent upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. 
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible
under the provisions of this Section.

 

The Company agrees to pay
to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section.

 

If an appointment with
respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section 6.12, the
Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in lieu of the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of authentication in
the following form:

 

51

 

This is one of the
Securities of the series designated therein referred to in the within-mentioned
Indenture.

Regular Record Date for each respective series of Securities, a list, in such
form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the
Holders of Securities of each series as of such Regular Record Date, as the
case may be, or if there is no Regular Record Date for such series of
Securities, semi-annually, and

 

(2)           at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a

The rights of Holders to
communicate with other Holders with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or under the Securities, and the corresponding rights and privileges
of the Trustee, shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act.  Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and
holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that neither the

information as to names and addresses of Holders made pursuant to the Trust
Indenture Act.

after the first issuance of Securities pursuant to this Indenture.

 

A copy of each such
report shall, at the time of such transmission to Holders, be filed by the
Trustee with each stock exchange upon which any Securities are listed, with the
Commission and with the Company.  The
Company will notify the Trustee when any Securities are listed on any stock
exchange.

 

Section 7.4            Reports by Company.

 

Any information,
documents or other reports that the Company shall file with the Commission
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act shall be filed
with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is filed with the Commission; provided
that any such information, documents or reports filed or furnished with the
Commission pursuant to its Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval
(or EDGAR) system shall be deemed to be filed with the Trustee as of the time
such information, documents or reports are filed or furnished via EDGAR.

conveyance, transfer or lease of the properties and assets of the Company
substantially as an entirety in accordance with Section 8.1, the successor
Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to
which such conveyance, transfer or lease is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company under
this Indenture with the same effect as if such successor Person had been named

of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, pursuant to the requirements
of Section 6.11; or

 

(10)         to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any

this clause (10) shall not adversely affect the interests of the
Holders of Securities of any series in any material respect; or

 

(11)         to supplement any of the provisions of the Indenture

material respect.

 

Section 9.2            Supplemental Indentures with
Consent of Holders.

 

With the consent of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each
series affected by such supplemental indenture, by Act of said Holders
delivered to the Company and the Trustee, the Company, when authorized by a
Board Resolution, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series

supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby,

 

(1)           change the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any
installment of principal of or interest on, any Security, or reduce the
principal amount thereof or the rate of interest thereon or any premium payable
upon the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of an
Original Issue Discount Security or any other Security which would be due and

thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date), or
modify the provisions of this Indenture with respect to the subordination of
such series of Securities in a manner materially adverse to the Holders of
Securities of such series, or, in the case of Securities of any series that are
convertible into Securities or other securities of the Company, adversely
affect the right of Holders to convert any of the Securities of such series
other than as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, or

A supplemental indenture
which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture
which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of one or more
particular series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of
Securities of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision,
shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of
Securities of any other series.

 

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

 

Section 9.3            Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.

 

In executing, or
accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts

the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise.

 

Section 9.4            Effect of Supplemental
Indentures.

Section 9.6            Reference in Securities to

authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a
notation in form

 

57

 

approved by the Trustee
as to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the Company shall so determine, new
Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

ARTICLE 10

 

COVENANTS

 

Section 10.1         Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest.

 

The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that it will duly and
punctually pay the principal of and any premium and interest on the Securities
of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities and this
Indenture.

 

Section 10.2         Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 

The Company will maintain
in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, where
Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for conversion and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities
of that series and this Indenture may be served.  The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such office
or agency.  If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive
all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.  Unless otherwise provided in a supplemental
indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof, the Place of Payment for any
series of Securities shall be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee.

 

The Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, 
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each
Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the
location of any such other office or agency.

 

58

 

Section 10.3         Money for Securities Payments to be Held in Trust.

 

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

 

Whenever the Company
shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, on
or prior to each due date of the principal of or any premium or interest on any
Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay
such amount, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee
of its action or failure so to act.

 

The Company will cause
each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to
execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that
such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (2) during the
continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the
Securities of that series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith
pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in
respect of the Securities of that series.

 

The Company may at any
time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those
upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon
such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Any money deposited with
the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the
payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for a period ending on the earlier of the date
that is ten Business Days prior to the date such money would escheat to the
State or two years after such principal, premium or interest has become due and
payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by
the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such
Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the
Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent
with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company as trustee
thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper
published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day
and of general circulation in each Place of Payment, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date

 

59

 

of such publication, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 

Section 10.4         Statement by Officers as to Default.

 

The Company will deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the
Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’ Certificate, stating whether
or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default
in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in
default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.  The
Company will give the Trustee prompt written notice of any change of its fiscal
year.

 

Section 10.5         Existence.

 

Subject to Article 8,
the Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its existence.

 

Section 10.6         Maintenance of Properties.

 

The Company will cause
all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business to be maintained
and kept in good condition, repair and working order and supplied with all
necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals,
replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as, and to the extent,
in the judgment of the Company may be necessary so that the business carried on
in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all
times; provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall
prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of
such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company,
desirable in the conduct of its business and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders.

 

Section 10.7         Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

 

The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or upon the income, profits or property of the
Company, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies
which, if unpaid, might by law become a lien upon the property of the Company; provided, however,
that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid
or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim (i) whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings or (ii) if the failure to pay or discharge would not have a
material adverse effect on the assets, business, operations, properties or
condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken
as a whole.

 

60

 

Section 10.8         Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 

Except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for Securities of such series,
the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any
particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth
in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 3.1(19), 9.1(2), 9.1(7), 10.6
or 10.7 for the benefit of the Holders of such series if before the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and
the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition
shall remain in full force and effect.

 

ARTICLE 11

 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 11.1         Applicability of Article.

 

Securities of any series
that are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in
accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 3.1 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article.

 

Section 11.2         Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

 

The election of the Company
to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another
manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1 for such Securities.  In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 45
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date,
of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if
applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed.  In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
such restriction.

 

Section 11.3         Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

 

If less than all the
Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such
series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall
be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for
redemption, by lot, or in the Trustee’s discretion, on a pro-rata basis,
provided that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security
shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the
minimum authorized denomination) for such

 

61

 

Security.  If less than all the Securities of such series
and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects
only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee,
from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not
previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

If any Security selected
for partial redemption is converted in part before termination of the
conversion right with respect to the portion of the Security so selected, the
converted portion of such Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the
portion selected for redemption. 
Securities that have been converted during a selection of Securities to
be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of
such selection.

 

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

 

The provisions of the two
preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any redemption affecting
only a single Security, whether such Security is to be redeemed in whole or in
part.  In the case of any such redemption
in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall
be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum
authorized denomination) for such Security.

 

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

 

Section 11.4         Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption
shall be given electronically or by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not fewer than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a
shorter period is specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to each Holder of
Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security Register.

 

All notices of redemption
shall state:

 

(1)           the Redemption Date,

 

(2)           the Redemption Price (including accrued interest, if
any),

 

(3)           if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any
series consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities,
the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less
than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single
Security are to be redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to
be redeemed,

 

62

 

(4)           in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only,
that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the
Holder of such Security will receive, without charge, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations for the principal amount thereof
remaining unredeemed,

 

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

 

(6)           the place or places where each such Security is to be
surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

 

(7)           if applicable, the conversion price or conversion
rate, as the case may be, the date on which the right to convert the principal
of the Securities or the portions thereof to be redeemed will terminate, and
the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,

 

(8)           that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is
the case, and

 

(9)           the CUSIP number or numbers and/or common code(s) of
the Security being redeemed.

 

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

 

Section 11.5         Deposit of Redemption Price.

 

On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 10.3) an amount of money sufficient to pay
the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an
Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be
redeemed on that date.

 

If any Security called
for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the Trustee or with a
Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the redemption of such
Security shall (subject to the right of any Holder of such Security to receive
interest as provided in the last paragraph of Section 3.7) be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or if then held by the Company, shall be discharged
from such trust.

 

Section 11.6         Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption
having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the
Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein

63

 

and accrued interest)
such Securities shall cease to bear interest. 
Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in accordance with
said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price,
together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.1,
installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption
Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the
relevant Record Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 3.7.

 

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

 

Section 11.7         Securities Redeemed in Part.

 

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

referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment,” and any payment in excess of
such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such Securities is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.”  If provided for by the terms of any

Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of
Securities as provided for by the terms of such Securities.

 

Section 12.2         Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company (1) may
deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called
for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which
have been redeemed

 

64

 

either at the election of
the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application
of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund
payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by
the terms of such Securities; provided that the Securities to be so credited
have not been previously so credited. 
The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such
purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities

payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by
delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 12.2 and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.  Not fewer than 30 days prior to each such
sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.3
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at
the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 11.4.  Such notice having been duly given, the

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section 13.1         Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The Company may elect, at
its option at any time, to have Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 applied
to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated
pursuant to Section 3.1 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 13.2
or 13.3, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 3.1
and upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.  Any such election shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 3.1

Section 13.2         Defeasance and Discharge.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall
be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations, and the provisions of Article 15
shall cease to be effective, with respect to such Securities as provided in
this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4
are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Defeasance means that
the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness

 

65

 

represented by such
Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the
Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)           the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 13.4 and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities when payments are due,

 

(2)           the Company’s obligations with respect to such
Securities under Sections 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 10.2 and 10.3, and, if

(3)           the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of
the Trustee hereunder, and

Subject to compliance
with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied
to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to
have Section 13.3 applied to such Securities.

 

Section 13.3         Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be,

 

(1)           the Company shall be released from its obligations
under Sections 10.6 and 10.7 and any covenants provided pursuant to
Sections 3.1(19), 9.1(2) or 9.1(7) for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities,

 

(2)           the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5.1(4) (with
respect to any of Sections 10.6 and 10.7 and any such covenants provided
pursuant to Section 3.1(19), 9.1(2) or 9.1(7)) and the occurrence of
any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1 shall be deemed not
to be or result in an Event of Default, and

 

(3)           the provisions of Article 15 shall cease to be
effective,

 

in each case with respect
to such Securities or any series of Securities as provided in this Section on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 13.4 are satisfied
(hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”). 
For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to
such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of Section 5.1(4) and
the occurrence of any Event of Default specified pursuant to Section 3.1)
or Article 15, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any
reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision

 

66

 

herein or in any other
document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be
unaffected thereby.

 

Section 13.4         Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

The following shall be
the conditions to the application of Section 13.2 or Section 13.3 to
any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be:

 

(1)           The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused
to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the
requirements contemplated by Section 6.9 and agrees to comply with the
provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities,

 

(A)          in the case of Securities of a series denominated in
currency of the United States of America,

 

(i)            cash in currency of the United States of America in an
amount, or

 

(ii)           U.S. Government Obligations which through the

with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment, an amount in cash, or

 

(iii)          a combination thereof, or

 

(B)           in the case of Securities of a series denominated in
currency other than that of the United States of America,

 

(i)            cash in the currency in which such series of
Securities is denominated in an amount, or

 

(ii)           Foreign Government Obligations which through the
scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance
with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment, an amount in cash, or

 

(iii)          a combination thereof,

 

in each case
sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee
(or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of
and any premium and interest on such Securities on the

 

67

 

respective Stated
Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities.

 

(2)           In the event of an election to have Section 13.2
apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that

 

(A)          the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or

 

(B)           since the date of this instrument, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law,

 

in either case (A) or
(B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that,
the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be
the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.

 

(3)           In the event of an election to have Section 13.3
apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal
income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income
tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the
case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

 

(4)           The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other
Securities of the same series, if then listed on any securities exchange, will
be delisted as a result of such deposit.

 

(5)           No event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any
other Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such
deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 5.1(5) and
(6), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it
being understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after
such 90th day).

 

(6)           Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause
the Trustee to have a conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust
Indenture Act (assuming all Securities are in default within the meaning of
such Act).

 

68

 

(7)                                Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound.

 

(8)                                Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting an
investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act unless such
trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt from registration
thereunder.

 

(9)                                At the time of such deposit,

or duly provided for), and

 

(C)           no other event of default with
respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing permitting
(after notice or lapse of time or both) the holders of such Senior Debt (or a
trustee on behalf of such holders) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable.

 

(10)                          The Company shall have delivered to the

Section 13.5         Deposited Money, U.S. Government Obligations and Foreign Government
Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

 

Subject to the provisions
of the last paragraph of Section 10.3, all money, U.S. Government
Obligations and Foreign Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of
this Section and Section 13.6, the Trustee and any such other trustee
are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 13.4 in
respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the
payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the
Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the
Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in
respect of principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.  Money, U.S. Government Obligations
and Foreign Government Obligations so held in trust shall not be subject to the
provisions of Article 15.

 

69

 

The Company shall pay and
indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or
assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 13.4 or the principal and
interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other
charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding
Securities.

 

Anything in this Article to
the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company
from time to time upon Company Request any money, U.S. Government Obligations
or Foreign Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 13.4
with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification
thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which
would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such Securities.

 

Section 13.6         Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or the
Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with
respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from
which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 13.2
or 13.3 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time
as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust
pursuant to Section 13.5 with respect to such Securities in accordance
with this Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes
any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security
following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money so held in trust.

 

ARTICLE 14

 

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 14.1         Applicability of Article.

 

The provisions of this Article shall
be applicable to the Securities of any series which are convertible into shares
of Common Stock of the Company, and the issuance of such shares of Common Stock
upon the conversion of such Securities, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.1 for the Securities of such series.

 

Section 14.2         Exercise of Conversion Privilege.

 

In order to exercise a
conversion privilege, the Holder of a Security of a series with such a
privilege shall surrender such Security to the Company at the office or agency
maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 10.2, accompanied by a
duly executed conversion notice to the Company substantially in the form set
forth in Section 2.6 stating that the Holder elects to convert 

 

70

 

such Security or a
specified portion thereof.  Such notice
shall also state, if different from the name and address of such Holder, the
name or names (with address) in which the certificate or certificates for
shares of Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be
issued.  Securities surrendered for
conversion shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly
endorsed by or accompanied by instruments of transfer in forms satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or its attorney duly
authorized in writing; and Securities so surrendered for conversion (in whole
or in part) during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record
Date to the opening of business on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date
(excluding Securities or portions thereof called for redemption during the
period beginning at the close of business on a Regular Record Date and ending
at the opening of business on the first Business Day after the next succeeding
Interest Payment Date, or if such Interest Payment Date is not a Business Day,
the second such Business Day) shall also be accompanied by payment in funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of such Security then being
converted, and such interest shall be payable to such Holder notwithstanding
the conversion of such Security, subject to the provisions of Section 3.7
relating to the payment of Defaulted Interest by the Company.  As promptly as practicable after the receipt
of such notice and of any payment required pursuant to a Board Resolution and,
subject to Section 3.3, set forth, or determined in the manner provided,
in an Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures
supplemental hereto setting forth the terms of such series of Security, and the
surrender of such Security in accordance with such reasonable regulations as
the Company may prescribe, the Company shall issue and shall deliver, at the
office or agency at which such Security is surrendered, to such Holder or on
its written order, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of such Security (or specified
portion thereof), in accordance with the provisions of such Board Resolution,
Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture, and cash as provided therein
in respect of any fractional share of such Common Stock otherwise issuable upon
such conversion. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been effected
immediately prior to the close of business on the date on which such notice and
such payment, if required, shall have been received in proper order for
conversion by the Company and such Security shall have been surrendered as
aforesaid (unless such Holder shall have so surrendered such Security and shall
have instructed the Company to effect the conversion on a particular date
following such surrender and such Holder shall be entitled to convert such
Security on such date, in which case such conversion shall be deemed to be
effected immediately prior to the close of business on such date) and at such
time the rights of the Holder of such Security as such Security Holder shall
cease and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or
certificates for shares of Common Stock of the Company shall be issuable upon
such conversion shall be deemed to have become the Holder or Holders of record
of the shares represented thereby. 
Except as set forth above and subject to the final paragraph of Section 3.7,
no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any conversion on account of any
interest accrued on the Securities (or any part thereof) surrendered for
conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock of the Company
issued upon such conversion.

 

In the case of any
Security which is converted in part only, upon such conversion the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order
of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities of the same series, of 

 

71

 

authorized denominations,
in aggregate principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such
Security.

 

Section 14.3         No Fractional Shares.

 

No fractional share of
Common Stock of the Company shall be issued upon conversions of Securities of
any series.  If more than one Security
shall be surrendered for conversion at one time by the same Holder, the number
of full shares which shall be issuable upon conversion shall be computed on the
basis of the aggregate principal amount of the Securities (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered.  If, except for the provisions of this Section 14.3,
any Holder of a Security or Securities would be entitled to a fractional share
of Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of such Security or
Securities, or specified portions thereof, the Company shall pay to such Holder
an amount in cash equal to the current market value of such fractional share
computed, (i) if such Common Stock is listed or admitted to unlisted
trading privileges on a national securities exchange or market, on the basis of
the last reported sale price regular way on such exchange or market on the last
trading day prior to the date of conversion upon which such a sale shall have
been effected, or (ii) if such Common Stock is not at the time so listed
or admitted to unlisted trading privileges on a national securities exchange or
market, on the basis of the average of the bid and asked prices of such Common
Stock in the over-the-counter market, on the last trading day prior to the date
of conversion, as reported by the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated or
similar organization if the National Quotation Bureau, Incorporated is no
longer reporting such information, or if not so available, the fair market
price as determined by the Board of Directors. 
For purposes of this Section, “trading day” shall mean each Monday,
Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday other than any day on which the Common
Stock is not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, or if the Common Stock is
not traded on the New York Stock Exchange, on the principal exchange or market
on which the Common Stock is traded or quoted.

 

Section 14.4         Adjustment of Conversion Price or Conversion Rate.

 

The conversion price or
conversion rate, as the case may be, of Securities of any series that is
convertible into Common Stock of the Company shall be adjusted for any stock
dividends, stock splits, reclassifications, combinations or similar
transactions in accordance with the terms of the supplemental indenture or
Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of the Securities of such series.

 

Whenever the conversion
price or conversion rate, as the case may be, is adjusted, the Company shall
compute the adjusted conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be,
in accordance with terms of the applicable Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture and shall prepare an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the adjusted
conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, and showing in reasonable
detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based, and such certificate
shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of
conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 10.2 and, if different, with
the Trustee.  The Company shall forthwith
cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price or conversion rate,
as the case may be, to be sent electronically or mailed, first class postage
prepaid, to each Holder of 

 

72

 

Securities of such series
at its address appearing on the Security Register and to any conversion agent
other than the Trustee.

 

Section 14.5         Notice of Certain Corporate Actions.

 

In
case:

 

(1)           the Company shall declare a dividend
(or any other distribution) on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash
out of its retained earnings (other than a dividend for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required) that would require an adjustment
pursuant to Section 14.4; or

 

(2)           the Company shall authorize the
granting to all or substantially all of the holders of its Common Stock of
rights, options or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital
stock of any class or of any other rights (other than any such grant for which approval
of any shareholders of the Company is required); or

 

(3)           of any reclassification of the Common
Stock of the Company (other than a subdivision or combination of its
outstanding shares of Common Stock, or of any consolidation, merger or share
exchange to which the Company is a party and for which approval of any
shareholders of the Company is required), or of the sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

(4)           of the voluntary or involuntary
dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company;

 

then the Company
shall cause to be filed with the Trustee, and shall cause to be sent to all
Holders as they shall appear in the Security Register, at least 20 days (or 10
days in any case specified in clause (1) or (2) above) prior to the
applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (i) the
date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution, rights, options or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken,
the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to
such dividend, distribution, rights, options or warrants are to be determined,
or (ii) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger,
share exchange, sale, dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to
become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of
Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common
Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, dissolution,
liquidation or winding up.  If at any
time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of such notice shall
also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.

 

Section 14.6         Reservation of Shares of Common Stock.

 

The Company shall at all
times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of its
authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the purpose of effecting the
conversion of 

 

73

 

Securities, the full
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then issuable upon the
conversion of all outstanding Securities of any series that has conversion
rights.

 

Section 14.7         Payment of Certain Taxes upon Conversion.

 

Except as provided in the
next sentence, the Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in
respect of the issue or delivery of shares of its Common Stock on conversion of
Securities pursuant hereto.  The Company
shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable in respect
of any transfer involved in the issue and delivery of shares of its Common
Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of the Security or Securities to
be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the
person requesting such issue has paid to the Company the amount of any such
tax, or has established, to the satisfaction of the Company, that such tax has
been paid.

 

Section 14.8         Nonassessability.

 

The Company covenants
that all shares of its Common Stock that may be issued upon conversion of
Securities will upon issue in accordance with the terms hereof be duly and
validly issued and fully paid and nonassessable.

 

Section 14.9         Provision in Case of Consolidation, Merger or Sale of Assets.

 

In case of any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person, any
merger of another Person with or into the Company (other than a merger which
does not result in any reclassification, conversion, exchange or cancellation
of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company) or any conveyance, sale,
transfer or lease of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, the
Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger or which
acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to the
Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security of
a series then Outstanding that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company
shall have the right thereafter (which right shall be the exclusive conversion
right thereafter available to said Holder), during the period such Security
shall be convertible, to convert such Security only into the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by a holder of the number of shares of
Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or merged with or into or which
merged into or with the Company or to which such conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an Affiliate of
a Constituent Person and (ii) failed to exercise his rights of election,
if any, as to the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or lease
(provided that if the kind or amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer, or
lease is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, conveyance, sale, transfer or
lease by others than a Constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in
respect of which such rights of election shall not have been 

 

74

 

exercised (“Non-electing
Share”), then for the purpose of this Section 14.9 the kind and amount of
securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger,
conveyance, sale, transfer or lease by the holders of each Non-electing Share
shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per share by a
plurality of the Non-electing Shares). 
Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for
events subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for
in this Article or in accordance with the terms of the supplemental
indenture or Board Resolutions setting forth the terms of such
adjustments.  The above provisions of
this Section 14.9 shall similarly apply to successive consolidations,
mergers, conveyances, sales, transfers or leases.  Notice of the execution of such a
supplemental indenture shall be given by the Company to the Holder of each
Security of a series that is convertible into Common Stock of the Company as
provided in Section 1.6 promptly upon such execution.

 

Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent, if any, shall be under any responsibility to determine
the correctness of any provisions contained in any such supplemental indenture
relating either to the kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or
property or cash receivable by Holders of Securities of a series convertible
into Common Stock of the Company upon the conversion of their Securities after
any such consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, sale or lease or to any
such adjustment, but may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of
any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Opinion of
Counsel with respect thereto, which the Company shall cause to be furnished to
the Trustee upon request.

 

Section 14.10       Duties of Trustee Regarding Conversion.

 

Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent shall at any time be under any duty or responsibility to
any Holder of Securities of any series that is convertible into Common Stock of
the Company to determine whether any facts exist which may require any
adjustment of the conversion price or conversion rate, as the case may be, or
with respect to the nature or extent of any such adjustment when made, or with
respect to the method employed, whether herein or in any supplemental
indenture, any resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument
executed by one or more officers of the Company provided to be employed in
making the same.  Neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent shall be accountable with respect to the validity or value
(or the kind or amount) of any shares of Common Stock of the Company, or of any
securities or property, which may at any time be issued or delivered upon the
conversion of any Securities and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent
makes any representation with respect thereto. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, neither the Trustee nor
any conversion agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to
issue, transfer or deliver any shares of its Common Stock or stock certificates
or other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the
purpose of conversion or to comply with any of the covenants of the Company
contained in this Article 14 or in the applicable supplemental indenture,
resolutions of the Board of Directors or written instrument executed by one or
more duly authorized officers of the Company.

 

75

 

Section 14.11       Repayment of Certain Funds upon Conversion.

 

Any funds which at any
time shall have been deposited by the Company or on its behalf with the Trustee
or any other paying agent for the purpose of paying the principal of, and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on any of the Securities (including, but
not limited to, funds deposited for the sinking fund referred to in Article 12
hereof and funds deposited pursuant to Article 13 hereof) and which shall
not be required for such purposes because of the conversion of such Securities
as provided in this Article 14 shall after such conversion be repaid to
the Company by the Trustee upon the Company’s written request.

 

ARTICLE 15

 

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 15.1         Agreement of Subordination.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in a supplemental indenture or pursuant to Section 3.1, the
Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities issued hereunder by
its acceptance thereof likewise covenants and agrees, that all Securities shall
be issued subject to the provisions of this Article 15; and each Person
holding any Security, whether upon original issue or upon transfer, assignment
or exchange thereof, accepts and agrees to be bound by such provisions.

 

The payment of the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all Securities (including, but
not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Securities called for
redemption in accordance with Article 11 as provided in the Indenture)
issued hereunder shall, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth,
be subordinated and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of
all Senior Debt, whether outstanding at the date of this Indenture or
thereafter incurred.

 

No provision of this Article 15
shall prevent the occurrence of any default or Event of Default hereunder.

 

Section 15.2         Payments to Holders.

 

No payment shall be made
with respect to the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to
the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article 11
as provided in the Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the
Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 15.5, if:

 

(i)            a default in the payment of
principal, premium, if any, interest, rent or other obligations due on any
Senior Debt occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Debt for which
there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues
beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease
evidencing such Senior Debt) (a “Payment Default”), 

 

76

 

unless and until such default shall have been cured or
waived or shall have ceased to exist; or

 

(ii)           a default, other than a Payment
Default, on any Designated Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that then
permits holders of such Designated Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity and
the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from
a holder of Designated Senior Debt, a Representative of Designated Senior Debt
or the Company (a “Non-Payment Default”).

 

If the Trustee receives
any Payment Blockage Notice pursuant to clause (ii) above, no
subsequent Payment Blockage Notice shall be effective for purposes of this Section unless
and until at least 365 days shall have elapsed since the initial effectiveness
of the immediately prior Payment Blockage Notice.  No Non-Payment Default that existed or was
continuing on the date of delivery of any Payment Blockage Notice to the
Trustee shall be, or be made, the basis for a subsequent Payment Blockage
Notice.

 

The Company may and shall
resume payments on and distributions in respect of the Securities upon the
earlier of:

 

(1)           in the case of any Payment Default,
the date upon which the Payment Default is cured or waived or ceases to exist,
or

 

(2)           in the case of a Non-Payment Default,
the earlier of (a) the date upon which such Non-Payment Default is cured,
waived or ceases to exist or (b) 179 days after the date on which the
applicable Payment Blockage Notice is received by the Trustee,

 

unless this Article 15
otherwise prohibits the payment or distribution at such time.

 

Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any dissolution or winding-up
or liquidation or reorganization of the Company, whether voluntary or
involuntary or in bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, liquidation,
receivership or other proceedings, or upon an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or any marshalling of the assets and liabilities of the Company, or
otherwise, all amounts due or to become due upon all Senior Debt shall first be
paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such
Senior Debt, or payment thereof in accordance with its terms provided for in
cash or other payment satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, before
any payment is made on account of the principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on the Securities (except payments made pursuant to Article 4
from monies deposited with the Trustee pursuant thereto prior to commencement
of proceedings for such dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization,
assignment for the benefit of creditors or the marshalling of assets and
liabilities of the Company); and upon any such dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or
marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other proceeding, any payment by the Company, or distribution
of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, to which the Holders of 

 

77

 

the Securities or the
Trustee would be entitled, except for the provision of this Article 15,
shall (except as aforesaid) be paid by the Company or by any receiver, trustee
in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other Person making such payment
or distribution, or by the Holders of the Securities or by the Trustee under
this Indenture if received by them or it and directed by the Company or a
Representative of Senior Debt, directly to the Representative or
Representatives of Senior Debt, or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture pursuant to which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have
been issued, as their respective interests may appear, to the extent necessary
to pay all Senior Debt in full, in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Debt, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt, before any payment or
distribution or provision therefor is made to the Holders of the Securities or
to the Trustee.

 

For purposes of this Article 15,
the words, “cash, property or securities” shall not be deemed to include shares
of stock of the Company as reorganized or readjusted, or securities of the
Company or any other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or
readjustment, the payment of which is subordinated at least to the extent
provided in this Article 15 with respect to the Securities to the payment
of all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding; provided that (i) the
Senior Debt is assumed by the new corporation, if any, resulting from any
reorganization or readjustment, and (ii) the rights of the holders of
Senior Debt (other than leases which are not assumed by the Company or the new
corporation, as the case may be) are not, without the consent of such holders,
altered by such reorganization or readjustment. 
The consolidation of the Company with, or the merger of the Company
into, another corporation or the liquidation or dissolution of the Company
following the conveyance or transfer of its property as an entirety, or
substantially as an entirety, to another corporation upon the terms and
conditions provided for in Article 8 shall not be deemed a dissolution,
winding-up, liquidation or reorganization for the purposes of this Section 15.2
if such other corporation shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger,
conveyance or transfer, comply with the conditions stated in Article 8.

 

In the event of the
acceleration of the Securities because of an Event of Default, no payment or
distribution shall be made to the Trustee or any Holder of Securities in
respect of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities
(including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the
Securities called for redemption in accordance with Article 11 as provided
in the Indenture), except payments and distributions made by the Trustee as
permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 15.5, until all
Senior Debt has been paid in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of Senior Debt or such acceleration is rescinded in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture.  If payment of
the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of Default, the Company shall
promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the acceleration.

 

In the event that,
notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, any payment or distribution of assets
of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities (including, without limitation, by way of setoff or otherwise),
prohibited by the foregoing, shall be received by the Trustee or the Holders of
the Securities before all Senior Debt is paid in full in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Debt, or provision is made for such
payment thereof in accordance with its terms in cash or other payment
satisfactory to the holders of such 

 

78

 

Senior Debt, such payment
or distribution shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid
over or delivered to the holders of Senior Debt or their Representative or
Representatives, or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture pursuant to
which any instruments evidencing any Senior Debt may have been issued, as their
respective interests may appear, as calculated by the Company, for application
to the payment of all Senior Debt remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to
pay all Senior Debt in full in cash or other payment satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Debt, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution to or for the holders of such Senior Debt.

 

Nothing in this Section 15.2
shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 6.7.  This Section 15.2 shall be subject to
the further provisions of Section 15.5.

 

Section 15.3         Subrogation of Securities.

 

Subject to the payment in
full of all Senior Debt, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall be
subrogated to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders
of such Senior Debt pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15 (equally
and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its
express terms is subordinated to other indebtedness of the Company to
substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated and is
entitled to like rights of subrogation) to the rights of the holders of Senior
Debt to receive payments or distributions of cash, property or securities of
the Company applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal, premium, if any,
and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full; and, for the purposes of
such subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Debt of any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities
or the Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 15,
and no payment over pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15, to or
for the benefit of the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the Securities or
the Trustee, shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than holders of
Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment by
the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt; and no payments or
distributions of cash, property or securities to or for the benefit of the
Holders of the Securities pursuant to the subrogation provisions of this Article 15,
which would otherwise have been paid to the holders of Senior Debt shall be
deemed to be a payment by the Company to or for the account of the Securities.  It is understood that the provisions of this Article 15
are and are intended solely for the purposes of defining the relative rights of
the Holders of the Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of the Senior
Debt, on the other hand.

 

Nothing contained in this
Article 15 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended
to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the holders
of Senior Debt, and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the
Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the
Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with
their terms, or is intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the
Holders of the Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders
of the Senior Debt, nor shall anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or
the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if
any, under this 

 

79

 

Article 15 of the
holders of Senior Debt in respect of cash, property or securities of the
Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

 

Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 15, the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1, and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree made by any court
of competent jurisdiction in which such bankruptcy, dissolution, winding-up,
liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending, or a certificate of the
receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of the Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the persons entitled to
participate in such distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all
other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 15.

 

Section 15.4         Authorization to Effect Subordination.

 

Each Holder of a Security
by the holder’s acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on the
holder’s behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article 15 and appoints
the Trustee to act as the holder’s attorney-in-fact for any and all such
purposes.

 

Section 15.5         Notice to Trustee.

 

The Company shall give
prompt written notice in the form of an Officers’ Certificate to a Responsible
Officer of the Trustee and to any Paying Agent of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the Trustee
or any Paying Agent in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of
this Article 15.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article 15 or any other provision of this
Indenture, the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment of monies to or by the
Trustee in respect of the Securities pursuant to the provisions of this Article 15,
unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have received
written notice thereof at the Corporate Trust Office from the Company (in the
form of an Officers’ Certificate) or a Representative or a holder or holders of
Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and before the receipt of any such
written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1,
shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided
that if on a date not fewer than two Business Days prior to the date upon which
by the terms hereof any such monies may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest on any Security) the Trustee shall not have received, with
respect to such monies, the notice provided for in this Section 15.5,
then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply the
same to the purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by
any notice to the contrary which may be received by it on or after such prior
date.

 

Notwithstanding anything
in this Article 15 to the contrary, nothing shall prevent any payment
by the Trustee to the Holders of monies deposited with it pursuant to Section 4.1,
and any such payment shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 15.1
or 15.2.

 

80

 

The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Section 6.1, shall be entitled to rely on the delivery
to it of a written notice by a Representative of Senior Debt (or a trustee on
behalf of such holder) to establish that such notice has been given by a
Representative or a trustee on behalf of any such holder or holders.  The Trustee shall not be required to make any
payment or distribution to or on behalf of a holder of Senior Debt pursuant to
this Article 15 unless it has received satisfactory evidence as to the
amount of Senior Debt held by such person, the extent to which such person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the rights of such person under this Article 15.

 

Section 15.6         Trustee’s Relation to Senior Debt.

 

The Trustee in its
individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set forth in this Article 15
in respect of any Senior Debt at any time held by it, to the same extent as any
other holder of Senior Debt, and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the
Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

 

With respect to the
holders of Senior Debt, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only
such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article 15,
and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior
Debt shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.  The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any
fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.1,
the Trustee shall not be liable to any holder of Senior Debt (i) for any
failure to make any payments or distributions to such holders or (ii) if
it shall pay over or deliver to Holders of Securities, the Company or any other
Person money or assets to which any holder of Senior Debt shall be entitled by
virtue of this Article 15 or otherwise.

 

Section 15.7         No Impairment of Subordination.

 

No right of any present
or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein provided
shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to
act on the part of the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith,
by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company, the Trustee or any
Holder of Securities with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have
or otherwise be charged with.

 

Section 15.8         Certain Conversions/Exchanges Deemed Payment.

 

For the purposes of this Article 15
only, (1) the issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion
or exchange of Securities in accordance with Article 14 or otherwise
(except upon conversion of the Securities in accordance with their terms) shall
not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on account of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on Securities or on account of
the purchase or other acquisition of Securities, and (2) the payment,
issuance or delivery of cash (except in satisfaction of fractional shares
pursuant to Section 14.3), property or securities (other than junior
securities) upon conversion or exchange of a Security shall be deemed to
constitute payment on account of the principal of such Security.  For the purposes of this 

 

81

 

Section 15.8, the
term “junior securities” means (a) shares of any stock of any class of the
Company, or (b) securities of the Company which are subordinated in right
of payment to all Senior Debt which may be outstanding at the time of issuance
or delivery of such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a
greater extent than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this
Article.  Nothing contained in this Article 15
or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall
impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt
and the Holders of Securities, the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
of the Holder of any Security to convert such Security in accordance with Article 14.

 

Section 15.9         Article Applicable to Paying Agents.

 

If at any time any Paying
Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by the Company and be
then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this Article shall
(unless the context otherwise requires) be construed as extending to and
including such Paying Agent within its meaning as fully for all intents and
purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this Article in addition to
or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that the first
paragraph of Section 15.5 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate
of the Company if the Company or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.

 

The Trustee shall not be
responsible for the actions or inactions of any other Paying Agents (including
the Company if acting as its own Paying Agent) and shall have no control of any
funds held by such other Paying Agents.

 

Section 15.10       Senior Debt Entitled to Rely.

 

The holders of Senior
Debt (including, without limitation, Designated Senior Debt) shall have the
right to rely upon this Article 15, and no amendment or modification of
the provisions contained herein shall diminish the rights of such holders
unless such holders shall have agreed in writing thereto.

 

Section 15.11       Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent.

 

Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee
and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by
any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up,
liquidation, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors or marshalling
of assets and liabilities of the Company or bankruptcy, insolvency,
receivership or other like proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the
trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, custodian, receiver, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of Senior Debt and other indebtedness of the Company,
the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

 

82

 

Section 15.12       Trust Monies Not Subordinated.

 

Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, payments from money, U.S. Government
Obligations and/or Foreign Government Obligations held in trust under Article 4
or Article 13 by the Trustee for the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, and interest on the Securities shall not be subordinated to the prior
payment in full of any Senior Debt of the Company or subject to the
restrictions set forth in this Article 15, and none of the Holders shall
be obligated to pay over any such amount to the Company or any holder of Senior
Debt of the Company or any other creditor of the Company.
