terminate except with respect to Awards made prior to, and outstanding on, that
date which shall remain valid in accordance with their terms.

        3.1     The Committee.     Except as otherwise reserved for
consideration and approval by the Board of Directors, the Plan shall be
administered by the Committee which shall have all powers necessary or desirable
for such administration.

        (a)   Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Warrant Cancellation
Agreement, the Committee shall have the following plenary powers: (i) to
establish, amend or waive rules or regulations for the Plan's administration;
(ii) except in those instances in which a dispute arises, to construe and
interpret the Agreements and the Plan; and (iii) to make all other
determinations and take all other actions necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan.

        (b)   (1) Subject to the provisions of the Plan and the Warrant

that shall be subject to approval, amendment and modification by the Board of
Directors: (i) to determine the terms and conditions upon which the Awards may

        (4)   Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Quercus Designated Options (as

<PAGE>

        (c) The express grant in this Plan of any specific power to the

Quercus Trust to designate awards of options to purchase up to 3,000,000 shares
of Stock pursuant to the Warrant Cancellation Agreement, the Committee shall
have the authority to grant Awards under the Plan, from time to time, to such
Key Personnel as may be selected by it. Each Award shall be evidenced by an
Agreement.

        3.3     Decisions Binding.     All determinations and decisions made by
the Board or the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be
final, conclusive and binding with respect to Options.

        3.4     Rule 16b-3 Requirements.     Notwithstanding any other provision

        3.5     Indemnification of Committee.     In addition to such other
rights of indemnification as they may have as directors or as members of the
Committee, the members of the Committee shall be indemnified by the Company
against reasonable expenses, including attorneys' fees, actually and reasonably
incurred in connection with the defense of any action, suit or proceeding, or in
connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party
by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the
Plan or any Award granted or made hereunder, and against all amounts reasonably
paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment
in any such action, suit or proceeding, if such members acted in good faith and
in a manner which they believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests
of the Company and its Subsidiaries.

        3.6     Certain Determinations.     In connection with the Committee's

Stock of the Company, the relationship between the traded price and book value
of shares for financial institutions of similar size and similar operating
results to the Company and its subsidiary bank, any reasonably recent trades of
the Common Stock of the Company brought to the attention of the Committee and
such additional relevant information as the Committee in its judgment deems
necessary. In its sole discretion, the Committee may, but is not obligated to,
consult with and/or engage an investment banker or other appropriate advisor to
advise the Committee in connection with its good faith determination of "Fair
Market Value" herein.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                           STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

        4.1     Number of Shares.     Subject to adjustment as provided in
Section 4.3 herein, the maximum aggregate number of Shares that may be issued
pursuant to Awards made under the Plan shall not exceed 70,000,000 provided
that, with respect to 20,000,000 of such shares, Options (the "Quercus
Designated Options") shall be granted only to the extent that the Company
determines that the fair market value of such Options does not exceed the fair
market value of the warrants cancelled by the Company pursuant to the Warrant
Cancellation Agreement.  No more than one-third of the aggregate number of such
Shares shall be issued in connection with Restricted Stock Awards. Except as
provided in Sections 4.2 herein, the issuance of Shares in connection with the
exercise of, or as other payment for Awards under the Plan shall reduce the
number of Shares available for future Awards under the Plan.

        4.2     Lapsed Awards or Forfeited Shares.     If any Award granted
under this Plan (for which no material benefits of ownership have been received,
including dividends) terminates, expires, or lapses for any reason other than by
virtue of exercise of the Award, or if Shares issued pursuant to Awards (for
which no material benefits of ownership have been received, including dividends)
are forfeited, any Stock subject to such Award again shall be available for the
grant of an Award under the Plan.

        4.3     Capital Adjustments.     The number and class of Shares subject
to each outstanding Award, the Option Price and the aggregate number and class
of Shares for which Awards thereafter may be made shall be subject to such
adjustment, if any, as the Committee in its sole discretion deems appropriate to
reflect such events as stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations,
mergers, consolidations or reorganizations of or by the Company.

                                   ARTICLE V
                                  ELIGIBILITY

        Persons eligible to participate in the Plan include all employees of the
Company and its Subsidiaries who, in the opinion of the Committee, are Key
Personnel.

                                   ARTICLE VI
                                 STOCK OPTIONS

        6.1     Grant of Options.     Subject to the terms and provisions of the
Plan, Options may be granted to Key Personnel at any time and from time to time
as shall be determined by the Committee or pursuant to the Warrant Cancellation
Agreement. The Committee shall have complete discretion in determining the
number of Shares subject to Options granted to each Participant, provided,
however, that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Award
is made) of Shares with respect to which any Participant may first exercise ISOs
granted under the Plan during any calendar year may not exceed $100,000 or such
amount as shall be specified in Section 422A of the Code and rules and
regulation thereunder.
<PAGE>

        6.2     Option Agreement.     Each Option grant shall be evidenced by an
Agreement that shall specify the type of Option granted, the Option Price (as
hereinafter defined), the duration of the Option, the number of Shares to which
the Option pertains, any conditions imposed upon the exercisability of Options
in the event of retirement, death, disability or other termination of
employment, and such other provisions as the Committee shall determine. The
Agreement shall specify whether the Option is intended to be an Incentive Stock
Option within the meaning of Section 422A of the Code, or Nonqualified Stock
Option not intended to be within the provisions of Section 422A of the Code.

        6.3     Option Price.     The exercise price per share of Stock covered
by an Option ("OPTION PRICE") shall be determined by the Committee subject to
the following limitations. The Option Price shall not be less than 100% of the
Fair Market Value of such Stock on the Grant Date. An ISO granted to an employee
who, at the time of grant, owns (within the meaning of Section 425(d) of the
Code) Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all
classes of Stock of the Company, shall have an Option Price which is at least
equal to 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Stock.

        6.4     Duration of Options.     Each Option shall expire at such time
as the Committee shall determine at the time of grant provided, however, that no
ISO shall be exercisable later than the tenth (10th) anniversary date of  its
Award Date.

        6.5     Exercisability.     Options granted under the Plan shall be
exercisable at such times and be subject to such restrictions and conditions as
the Committee shall determine, which need not be the same for all Participants.
No Option, however, shall be exercisable until the expiration of at least six
months after the Award Date, except such limitation shall not apply in the case
of the death or disability of the Participant.  Anything in the immediately
preceding sentence to the contrary notwithstanding, the Compensation Committee
may waive or vary the six month period as to employees who were still in the
employ of the Company (or  consultants under valid written consulting agreements
were still providing services) at the time of the Award Date  where (a) (i) a
shorter period or (ii) a date certain for the commencement of vesting is
provided  for under a written employment or consulting agreement with the
Participant; (b)  delays in option grants have occurred as a result of the limit
on authorized common stock or limits on common stock available for options under
the Plan during 2007 and 2008 (which  limits were increased by shareholder vote
at the special meeting of the stockholders on June 26, 2008) ;  or (c)
enforcement of such six month period would, in the Committee's determination, be
inequitable under all of the circumstances.

        6.6     Method of Exercise.     Options shall be exercised by the
delivery of a written notice to the Company in the form prescribed by the
Committee setting forth the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is
to be exercised, accompanied by full payment for the Shares. The Option Price
shall be payable to the Company in full either in cash, by delivery of Shares of
Stock valued at Fair Market Value at the time of exercise, delivery of a
promissory note (in the Committee's discretion) or by a combination of the
foregoing. As soon as practicable, after receipt of written notice and payment,
<PAGE>

the Company shall deliver to the Participant, stock certificates in an
appropriate amount based upon the number of Options exercised, issued in the
Participant's name. No Participant who is awarded Options shall have rights as a
shareholder until the date of exercise of the Options.

        6.7     Restrictions on Stock Transferability.     The Committee shall
impose such restrictions on any Shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an
Option under the Plan as it may deem advisable, including, without limitation,
restrictions under the applicable Federal securities law, under the requirements
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or any stock exchange
upon which such Shares are then listed and under any blue sky or state
securities laws applicable to such Shares.

        6.8     Nontransferability of Options.     No Option granted under the
Plan may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or
hypothecated, otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.
Further, all Options granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be
exercisable during his lifetime only by such Participant or his guardian or
legal representative.

                                  ARTICLE VII
                                RESTRICTED STOCK

        7.1     Grant of Restricted Stock.     Subject to the terms and
provisions of the Plan, the Committee, at any time and from time to time, may
grant shares of Restricted Stock under the Plan to such Participants and in such
amounts as it shall determine. Participants receiving Restricted Stock Awards
are not required to pay the Company therefor (except for applicable tax
withholding) other than the rendering of services.

        7.2     Restricted Stock Agreement.     Each Restricted Stock grant
shall be evidenced by an Agreement that shall specify the Period of Restriction,
the number of Restricted Stock Shares granted, and such other provisions as the
Committee shall determine.

        7.3     Transferability.     Except as provided in this Article VII and
subject to the limitation in the next sentence, the Shares of Restricted Stock
granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise
alienated or hypothecated until the termination of the applicable Period of
Restriction or upon earlier satisfaction of other conditions as specified by the
Committee in its sole discretion and set forth in the Agreement. No shares of
Restricted Stock shall be sold until the expiration of at least six months after
the Award Date, except that such limitation shall not apply in the case of death
or disability of the Participant. All rights with respect to the Restricted
Stock granted to a Participant under the Plan shall be exercisable during his
lifetime only by such Participant or his guardian or legal representative.

        7.4     Other Restrictions.     The Committee shall impose such other
restrictions on any Shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan as
it may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions under
applicable Federal or state securities laws, and may legend the certificates
representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.
<PAGE>

        7.5     Certificate Legend.     In addition to any legends placed on
certificates pursuant to Section 7.4 herein, each certificate representing
shares of Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan shall bear the following
legend:

"The sale or other transfer of the Shares of Stock represented by this
certificate, whether voluntary, involuntary, or by operation of law, is subject
to certain restrictions on transfer set forth in the 1999 Incentive Stock Plan
of Entech Solar, Inc., in the rules and administrative procedures adopted
pursuant to such Plan, and in an Agreement dated June 16, 1999. A copy of the
Plan, such rules and procedures, and such Restricted Stock Agreement may be
obtained from the Secretary of Entech Solar, Inc."

        7.6     Removal of Restrictions.    Except as otherwise provided in this
Article, Shares of Restricted Stock covered by each Restricted Stock Award made
under the Plan shall become freely transferable by the Participant after the
last day of the Period of Restriction. Once the Shares are released from the
restrictions, the Participant shall be entitled to have the legend required by
Section 7.5 herein removed from his Stock certificate.

        7.7     Voting Rights.     During the Period of Restriction,
Participants holding Shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder may exercise
full voting rights with respect to those Shares.

        7.8     Dividends and Other Distributions.     During the Period of
Restriction, Participants holding shares of Restricted Stock granted hereunder
shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with
respect to those shares while they are so held. If any such dividends or
distributions are paid in Shares, the Shares shall be subject to the same
restrictions on transferability as the Shares of Restricted Stock with respect
to which they were distributed.

        7.9     Termination of Employment Due to Retirement.     Unless
otherwise provided in the Agreement, in the event that a Participant terminates
his employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries because of normal
retirement (as defined in the rules of the Company in effect at the time), any
remaining Period of Restriction applicable to the Restricted Stock Shares
pursuant to Section 7.3 herein shall automatically terminate and, except as
otherwise provided in Section 7.4 herein the Shares of Restricted Stock shall
thereby be free of restrictions and freely transferable. Unless otherwise
provided in the Agreement, in the event that a Participant terminates his
employment with the Company because of early retirement (as defined in the rules
of the Company in effect at the time), the Committee, in its sole discretion,
may waive the restrictions remaining on any or all Shares of Restricted Stock
pursuant to Section 7.3 herein and add such new restrictions to those Shares of
Restricted Stock as it deems appropriate.

        7.10     Termination of Employment Due to Death or Disability.     In
the event a Participant's employment is terminated because of death or
disability during the Period of Restriction, any remaining Period of Restriction
applicable to the Restricted Stock pursuant to Section 7.3 herein shall
automatically terminate and, except as otherwise provided in Section 7.4 herein
the shares of Restricted Stock shall thereby be free of restrictions and fully
transferable.
<PAGE>

        7.11     Termination of Employment for Other Reasons.     Unless
otherwise provided in the Agreement, in the event that a Participant terminates
his employment with the Company for any reason other than for death, disability,
or retirement, as set forth in Sections 7.9 and 7.10 herein, during the Period
of Restriction, then any shares of Restricted Stock still subject to
restrictions as of the date of such termination shall automatically be forfeited
and returned to the Company.

                                  ARTICLE VIII
                               CHANGE IN CONTROL

        In the event of a Change in Control of the Company, the Committee, as
constituted before such Change in Control, in its sole discretion may, as to any
outstanding Award, either at the time the Award is made or any time thereafter,
take any one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration
of any time periods relating to the exercise or realization of any such Award so
that such Award may be exercised or realized in full on or before a date
initially fixed by the Committee; (ii) provide for the purchase or settlement of
any such Award by the Company, upon a Participant's request, for an amount of
cash equal to the amount which could have been obtained upon the exercise of
such Award or realization of such Participant's rights had such Award been
currently exercisable or payable; (iii) make such adjustment to any such Award
then outstanding as the Committee deems appropriate to reflect such Change in
Control; or (iv) cause any such Award then outstanding to be assumed, or new
rights substituted therefor, by the acquiring or surviving corporation in such
Change in Control.

                                   ARTICLE IX
                 MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWALS OF AWARDS

        Subject to the terms and conditions and within the limitations of the
Plan, the Committee may modify, extend or renew outstanding Awards, or, if
authorized by the Board, accept the surrender of outstanding Awards (to the
extent not yet exercised) granted under the Plan and authorize the granting of
new Awards pursuant to the Plan in substitution therefor, and the substituted
Awards may specify a lower exercise price than the surrendered Awards, a longer
term than the surrendered Awards or may contain any other provisions that are
authorized by the Plan. The Committee may also modify the terms of any
outstanding Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no modification
of an Award, shall, without the consent of the Participant, adversely affect the
rights or obligations of the Participant.

<PAGE>
                                   ARTICLE X
              AMENDMENT, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

        10.1     Amendment, Modification and Termination.     At any time and
from time to time, the Board may terminate, amend, or modify the Plan.  Such
amendment or modification may be without shareholder approval except to the
extent that such approval is required by the Code, pursuant to the rules under
Section 16 of the Exchange Act, by any national securities exchange or system on
which the Stock is then listed or reported, by any regulatory body having
jurisdiction with respect thereto or under any other applicable laws, rules or
regulations.

        10.2     Awards Previously Granted.     No termination, amendment or
modification of the Plan other than pursuant to Section 4.3 herein shall in any
manner adversely affect any Award theretofore granted under the Plan, without
the written consent of the Participant.

                                   ARTICLE XI
                                  WITHHOLDING

        11.1     Tax Withholding.     The Company shall have the power and the
right to deduct or withhold, or require a Participant to remit to the Company,
an amount sufficient to satisfy Federal, State and local taxes (including the
Participant's FICA obligation) required by law to be withheld with respect to
any grant, exercise, or payment made under or as a result of this Plan.

        11.2     Stock Withholding.     With respect to withholding required
upon the exercise of Nonqualified Stock Options, or upon the lapse of
restrictions on Restricted Stock, or upon the occurrence of any other similar
taxable event, Participants may elect, subject to the approval of the Committee,
to satisfy the withholding requirement, in whole or in part, by having the
Company withhold Shares of Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount
required to be withheld.  The value of the Shares to be withheld shall be based
on Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date that the amount of tax to be
withheld is to be determined. All elections shall be irrevocable and be made in
writing, signed by the Participant on forms approved by the Committee in advance
of the day that the transaction becomes taxable.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                                   SUCCESSORS

        All obligations of the Company under the Plan, with respect to Awards
granted hereunder, shall be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the
existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase,
merger, consolidation or otherwise, of all or substantially all of the business
and/or assets of the Company.

                                    GENERAL

        13.1     Requirements of Law.     The granting of Awards and the
issuance of Shares of Stock under this Plan shall be subject to all applicable
laws, rules, and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies
or self regulatory organizations (i.e. exchanges) as may be required.

        13.2     Effect of Plan.     The establishment of the Plan shall not
confer upon any Key Personnel any legal or equitable right against the Company,
a Subsidiary or the Committee, except as expressly provided in the Plan. The
Plan does not constitute an inducement or consideration for the employment of
any Key Personnel, nor is it a contract between the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries and any Key Personnel. Participation in the Plan shall not give any
Key Personnel any right to be retained in the service of the Company or any of
its Subsidiaries.

        13.3     Creditors.     The interests of any Participant under the Plan
or any Agreement are not subject to the claims of creditors and may not, in any
way, be assigned, alienated or encumbered.

        13.4     Governing Law.     The Plan, and all Agreements hereunder,
shall be governed, construed and administered in accordance with and governed by
the laws of the State of Delaware and the intention of the Company is that ISOs
granted under the Plan qualify as such under Section 422A of the Code.

        13.5     Severability.     In the event any provision of the Plan shall
be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall
not affect the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan shall be construed and
enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included.ex4_1.htm

    THE
NOTES

     

    Section
2.01      Issuable in
Series.  The aggregate principal amount of Notes that may be
authenticated and delivered under this Indenture is unlimited. The Notes may be
issued in one or more Series. All Notes of a Series shall be identical except as
may be set forth in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture or an Officer’s
Certificate detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to the
authority granted under a Board Resolution. In the case of Notes of a Series to
be issued from time to time, the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or
supplemental indenture detailing the adoption of the terms thereof pursuant to
authority granted under a Board Resolution may provide for the method by which
specified terms (such as interest rate, maturity date, record date or date from
which interest shall accrue) are to be determined. Notes may differ between
Series in respect of any matters, provided that all
Series of Notes shall be equally and ratably entitled to the benefits of the
Indenture.

any, on the Notes of the Series are to be made in one or more currencies or
currency units other than that or those in which such Notes are denominated, the
manner in which the exchange rate with respect to such payments will be
determined;

     

    (p)           the

Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries) will constitute an Event of Default with respect to Notes of the
Series.

     

    All Notes
of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be issued from
time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so provided by or
pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officer’s
Certificate referred to above, and the authorized principal amount of any Series
may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional Notes of such
Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution, supplemental

              Section
      2.03

            	
              Execution and
      Authentication.

            

    

     

    One
Officer shall sign the Notes for the Company by manual or facsimile signature.
If an Officer whose signature is on a Note no longer holds that office at the
time such Note is authenticated, such Note shall nevertheless be
valid.

     

    A Note
shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of the Trustee.
The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Note, as applicable, has
been authenticated under this Indenture.

     

    The
Trustee shall, upon a written order of the Company signed by one Officer (an
“Authentication
Order”), authenticate Notes for original issue in accordance with this
Indenture.

     

    The
Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
authenticate Notes. An authenticating agent may authenticate Notes whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as an Agent to deal with Holders or an Affiliate of the
Company.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.04

            	
              Registrar and Paying
      Agent.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall maintain an office or agency where Notes may be presented for
registration of transfer or for exchange (“Registrar”) and an office or
agency where Notes may be presented for payment (“Paying Agent”). The Registrar
shall keep a register with respect to each Series of the Notes and of their
transfer and exchange. The Company may appoint one or more co-registrars and one
or more additional paying agents. The term “Registrar” includes any co-registrar
and the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional paying agent. The Company
may change any Paying Agent or Registrar without notice to any Holder. The
Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the name and address of any Agent
not a party to this Indenture. If the Company fails to appoint or maintain
another entity as Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee shall act as such. The
Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as Paying Agent or
Registrar.

    The
Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as the Registrar and Paying Agent
and to act as Custodian with respect to the Global Notes.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.05

            	
              Paying Agent to Hold Money in
      Trust.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of Holders of
any Series of Notes, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent for the
payment of principal or interest on the Series of Notes, and shall notify the
Trustee of any default by the Company in making any such payment. While any such
default continues, the Trustee may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held
by it to the Trustee. The Company at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay
all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon payment over to the Trustee, the
Paying Agent (if other than the Company or a Subsidiary) shall have no further
liability for the money. If the Company or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent, it
shall segregate and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of
any Series of Notes all money held by it as Paying Agent. Upon any bankruptcy or
reorganization proceedings relating to the Company, the Trustee shall serve as
Paying Agent for the Notes.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.06

            	
              Holder
      Lists.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of each
Series of Notes and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a). If the
Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee, at least
by the record date for the interest payable on any  interest payment
date and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing, a list in
such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names
and addresses of Holders of each Series of Notes and the Company shall otherwise
comply with TIA Section 312(a).

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.07

            	
              Transfer and
      Exchange.

            

    

     

    Where
Notes of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a
request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount
of Notes of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer or make
the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit
registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Notes
at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any registration
of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted herein), but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any transfer tax or
similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith (other than any such
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon exchanges pursuant to
Sections 2.11, 3.06 or 9.05).

     

    Neither
the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the
transfer of, or exchange Notes of any Series for the period beginning at the
opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice
of redemption of Notes of that Series selected for redemption and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register the transfer of
or exchange Notes of any Series selected, called or being called for redemption
as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such Notes selected, called or
being called for redemption in part.

              Section
      2.08 

            	
              Replacement
      Notes.

            

    

     

    If any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company and the Trustee
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, the Company shall issue and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order, shall authenticate a replacement Note of the same Series if the Trustee’s
requirements are met. If required by the Trustee or the Company, an indemnity
bond must be supplied by the Holder that is sufficient in the judgment of the
Trustee and the Company to protect the Company, the Trustee, any Agent and any
authenticating agent from any loss that any of them may suffer if a Note is
replaced. The Company may charge for its expenses in replacing a
Note.

     

    Every
replacement Note of any Series is an additional obligation of the Company and
shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with all other Notes of that Series duly issued
hereunder.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.09

            	
              Outstanding
      Notes.

            

    

     

    The Notes
outstanding at any time are all the Notes authenticated by the Trustee except
for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation, those
reductions in the interest in a Global Note effected by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions hereof, and those described in this Section as
not outstanding. Except as set forth in Section 2.10 hereof, a Note does not
cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate of the Company holds
the Note.

     

    If a Note
is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 hereof, it ceases to be outstanding unless
the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Note is held by
a bona fide purchaser.

     

    If the
principal amount of any Note is considered paid under Section 4.01 hereof, it
ceases to be outstanding and interest on it ceases to accrue.

     

    If the
Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary or an Affiliate of any
thereof) holds, on a redemption date or maturity date, money sufficient to pay
Notes payable on that date, then on and after that date such Notes shall be
deemed to be no longer outstanding and shall cease to accrue
interest.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.10

            	
              Treasury
      Notes.

            

    

     

    In
determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Notes of a
Series have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent, Notes owned by the
Company, or by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or
under direct or indirect common control with the Company, shall be considered as
though not outstanding, except that for the purposes of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, waiver or consent,
only Notes of a Series that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded.

      2.11

            	
              Temporary
      Notes.

            

    

     

    Until
certificates representing Notes are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare
and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication Order, shall authenticate
temporary Notes. Temporary Notes shall be substantially in the form of
certificated Notes but may have variations that the Company considers
appropriate for temporary Notes and as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee
shall authenticate definitive Notes in exchange for temporary
Notes.

     

    Holders
of temporary Notes shall be entitled to all of the benefits of this
Indenture.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.12

            	
              Cancellation.

            

    

     

    The
Company at any time may deliver Notes to the Trustee for cancellation. The
Registrar and Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Notes surrendered to
them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one
else shall cancel all Notes surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
payment, replacement or cancellation and shall destroy canceled Notes (subject
to the record retention requirement of the Exchange Act). The Company may not
issue new Notes to replace Notes that it has paid or that have been delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation.

     

    
      	
              Section
      2.13

            	
              Defaulted
      Interest.

            

    

     

    If the
Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Notes, it shall pay the
defaulted interest in any lawful manner plus, to the extent lawful,
interest payable on the defaulted interest, to the Persons who are Holders of
the Series on a subsequent special record date, in each case at the rate
provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01 hereof. The Company shall notify the
Trustee in writing of the amount of defaulted interest proposed to be paid on
each Note and the date of the proposed payment. The Company shall fix or cause
to be fixed each such special record date and payment date, provided that no such special
record date shall be less than 10 days prior to the related payment date for
such defaulted interest. At least 15 days before the special record date, the
Company (or, upon the written request of the Company, the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company) shall mail or cause to be mailed to Holders
of the Series a notice that states the special record date, the related payment
date and the amount of such interest to be paid.

    (a)           Terms of
Notes.  A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or
an Officer’s Certificate shall establish whether the Notes of a Series shall be
issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Notes and the
Depositary for such Global Note or Notes.

     

    (b)           Transfer and
Exchange.  Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary
contained in Section 2.07 hereof and in addition thereto, any Global Note shall
be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Indenture for Notes registered
in the names of Holders other than the Depositary for such Note or its nominee
only if (i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Note or if at any time such Depositary
ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and, in either
case, the Company fails to appoint a successor Depositary registered as a
clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90 days of such event, (ii) the
Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate to the
effect that such Global Note shall be so exchangeable or (iii) an Event of
Default with respect to the Notes represented by such Global Note shall have
happened and be continuing. Any Global Note that is exchangeable pursuant to the
preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Notes registered in such names as
the Depositary shall direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of the Global Note with like tenor and
terms.

provided in this Section 2.14(b), a Global Note may not be transferred except as
a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Global Note to a nominee of such
Depositary, by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another
nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary or a nominee of such a successor Depositary.

     

    (c)           Legend.  Any
Global Note issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the following
form:

     

    “This
Note is a Global Note within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter referred
to and is registered in the name of the Depositary or a nominee of the
Depositary. This Note is exchangeable for Notes registered in the name of a
person other than the Depositary or its nominee only in the limited
circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except as a
whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, by a nominee of the
Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the
Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such a
successor Depositary.”

     

    (d)           Acts of
Holders.  The Depositary, as a Holder, may appoint agents and
otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder
is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.

     

    (e)           Payments.  Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 2.02, payment of the principal of and interest, if any,
on any Global Note shall be made to the Holder thereof.

     

    (f)           Consents, Declaration and
Directions.  Except as provided in Section 2.14(e), the
Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Notes of such Series represented by a Global
Note as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depositary with respect
to such Global Note, for purposes of obtaining any consents, declarations,
waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant to this
Indenture.

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

    The
Company may, with respect to any Series of Notes, reserve the right to redeem
and pay the Series of Notes or may covenant to redeem and pay the Series of
Notes or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof at such time and
on such terms as provided for in such Notes. If a Series of Notes is redeemable
and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior to the Stated Maturity
thereof all or part of the Series of Notes pursuant to the terms of such Notes,
it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of
Series of Notes to be redeemed. The Company shall give the notice at least 45
days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date (or such shorter
notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

     

    
      	
              Section

              Selection of Notes to Be
      Redeemed.

            

    

     

    If less
than all of the Notes of a Series are to be redeemed or purchased in an offer to
purchase at any time, the Trustee shall select the Notes of a Series to be
redeemed or purchased among the Holders of such Notes (a) in compliance with the
requirements of the principal national securities exchange, if any, on which
such Notes are listed or, (b) if such Notes are not so listed, on a pro rata basis, by lot or in
accordance with any other method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate. In
the event of partial redemption or purchase by lot, the particular Notes to be
redeemed shall be selected, unless otherwise provided herein, not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date by the Trustee from the
outstanding Notes of such Series not previously called for redemption or
purchase. The Trustee may select for redemption or repurchase portions of the
principal of Notes of such Series that have denominations larger than
$1,000.

     

    The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Notes selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Note selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed. Notes of a Series and portions of them
selected shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000 or, with
respect to Notes of any Series issuable in other denominations pursuant to
Section 2.02(j) hereof, the minimum principal denomination for each Series and
integral multiples thereof. Except as provided in the preceding sentence,
provisions of this Indenture that apply to Notes of a Series called for
redemption or repurchase also apply to portions of Notes of a Series called for
redemption or repurchase.

otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental
indenture hereto or an Officer’s Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than

              (7)

            	
              that
      the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case;

      of the Notes or the Notes of a Series being
  redeemed.

            

    

     

    At the
Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
Company’s name and at its expense, provided that the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee, at least 45 days prior to the redemption
date (unless a shorter time period is acceptable to the Trustee), an Officer’s
Certificate requesting that the Trustee give such notice and setting forth the
information to be stated in such notice as provided in the preceding
paragraph.

              Effect of Notice of
      Redemption.

            

    

     

    Once
notice of redemption is mailed in accordance with Section 3.03 hereof, Notes
called for redemption become irrevocably due and payable on the redemption date
at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not be
conditional.

      3.05

            	
              Deposit of Redemption
      Price.

            

    

     

    On or
before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with
the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued
interest on all Notes to be redeemed on that date. The Trustee or the Paying
Agent shall promptly return to the Company any money deposited with the Trustee
or the Paying Agent by the Company in excess of the amounts necessary to pay the
redemption price of, and accrued interest on, all Notes to be
redeemed.

     

    If the
Company complies with the provisions of the preceding paragraph, on and after
the redemption date, interest shall cease to accrue on the Notes or the portions
of Notes called for redemption. If a Note is redeemed on or after an interest
record date but on or prior to the related interest payment date, then any
accrued and unpaid interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Note
was registered at the close of business on such record date. If any Note called
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender for redemption because of the
failure of the Company to comply with the preceding paragraph, interest shall be
paid on the unpaid principal, from the redemption date until such principal is
paid, and to the extent lawful on any interest not paid on such unpaid
principal, in each case at the rate provided in the Notes and in Section 4.01
hereof.

surrender of a Note that is redeemed in part, the Company shall issue and, upon
the Company’s written request, the Trustee shall authenticate for the Holder, at
the expense of the Company, a new Note equal in principal amount to the
unredeemed portion of the Note surrendered.

     

    No Notes

    The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each Series of
Notes that it will pay or cause to be paid the principal of, premium, if any,
and interest on the Notes on the dates and in the manner provided in such Notes.
Principal, premium, if any, and interest on any Series of Notes will be
considered paid on the date due if the Paying Agent, if other than the Company
or a Subsidiary thereof, holds on the due date money deposited by the Company in
immediately available funds and designated for and sufficient to pay all
principal, premium, if any, and interest then due.

    The
Company will maintain an office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee
or an affiliate of the Trustee, Registrar or co-registrar) where Notes may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Notes 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 fails to maintain any such required office or agency or fails
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.

     

    The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Notes 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 will in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency 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.

     

    With
respect to each Series of Notes, the Company hereby designates the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee as one such office or agency of the Company in
accordance with Section 2.04 hereof.

    (a)           Whether
or not the Company is required by the SEC, so long as any Series of Notes are
outstanding, the Company shall furnish to the Holders of such Notes, within the
time periods (including any extensions thereof) specified in the SEC’s rules and
regulations:

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              (1)

            	
              all
      quarterly and annual reports that would be required to be filed with the
      Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file
      such reports; and

      current reports that would be required to be filed with the SEC on Form
      8-K if the Company were required to file such
  reports.

            

    

     

    In
addition, whether or not required by the rules and regulations of the SEC, the
Company shall file a copy of all such information and reports referred to in
clauses (1) and (2) above with the SEC for public availability within the time
periods specified in the SEC’s rules and regulations, unless the SEC will not
accept such a filing, and make such information available to securities analysts
and prospective investors upon request.  It is understood that the
Company’s compliance with the above filing requirement with the SEC will satisfy
the Company’s obligation to “furnish” the Holders of Notes with the information
described in clauses (1) and (2) of this Section 4.03(a). The Company shall at
all times comply with TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such reports, information
and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes only and the
Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice of any
information contained therein or determinable from information contained
therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
(as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on Officer’s
Certificates).

     

    (b)           For
so long as any Series of Notes remain outstanding, if at any time they are not
required to file with the Commission the reports required by paragraphs (1) and
(2) of this Section 4.03, the Company and any guarantors of such Notes will
furnish to the Holders of such Notes and to securities analysts and prospective
investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant
to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

    The
Company and each guarantor of any Series of Notes (to the extent that such
guarantor is so required under the TIA) shall deliver to the Trustee with
respect to such Series, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, an
Officer’s Certificate stating that a review of the activities of the Company and
its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal year has been made under the
supervision of the signing Officers with a view to determining whether the
Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled its obligations under this
Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer signing such
certificate, that to the best of his or her knowledge the Company has kept,
observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in this
Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any of the
terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (or, if a Default or Event of
Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default
of which he or she may have knowledge and what action the Company is taking or
proposes to take with respect thereto) and that to the best of his or her
knowledge no event has occurred and remains in existence by reason of which
payments on account of the principal of or interest, if any, on the Notes is
prohibited or if such event has occurred, a description of the event and what

    The
Company shall pay, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries to pay, prior to
delinquency, all material taxes, assessments, and governmental levies except
such as are contested in good faith and by appropriate proceedings or where the
failure to effect such payment is not adverse in any material respect to the
Holders of the Notes.

    The
Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it shall not,

in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay,

impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee for such Notes,

material Subsidiaries, in accordance with the respective organizational
documents (as the same may be amended from time to time) of the Company and any
such Subsidiary and (ii) the rights (charter and statutory), licenses and
franchises of the Company and its material Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right, license or franchise,
or the corporate, partnership or other existence of any of its Subsidiaries, if
the Board of Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no
longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and its
Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any
material respect to the Holders of the Notes.

    (f)         
  is for relief against the Company in an involuntary

              any
      other Event of Default provided with respect to Notes of that Series,
      which is specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto
      or an Officer’s Certificate, in accordance with Section
    2.02.

            

    

     

    
      	
              Section
      6.02

            	
              Acceleration.

            

    

     

    If an
Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the time outstanding
occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred to in Sections
6.01(7) or (8) hereof) then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not
less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of that Series may
declare the principal amount (or, if any Notes of that Series are Discount
Notes, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of
such Notes) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Notes of
that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal amount (or specified amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if
any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified
in Sections 6.01(7) or (8) hereof shall occur, the principal amount (or
specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding
Notes shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    At any
time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has
been made, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
Notes of that Series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may
rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if the rescission would
not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default
(except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely
because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

     

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

     

    
      	
              Section
      6.03

            	
              Other
      Remedies.

            

    

     

    If an
Event of Default with respect to Notes of any Series at the time outstanding
occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy to collect
the payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on such Notes or to
enforce the performance of any provision of such Notes or this
Indenture.

    
      
         

      

      
        22

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    The
Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Notes
or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the
Trustee or any Holder of a Note in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon
an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver
of or acquiescence in the Event of Default. All remedies are cumulative to the
extent permitted by law.

     

    
      	
              Section
      6.04

            	
              Waiver of Past
      Defaults.

            

    

     

    The
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes of any Series
then outstanding by notice to the Trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of
the Notes of such Series waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences under this Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of
Default in the payment of interest on, or the principal of, such Notes
(including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any
Series may rescind an acceleration of such Notes and its consequences, including
any related payment default that resulted from such acceleration. Upon any such
waiver, such Default or Event of 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     

    
      	
              Section
      6.05

            	
              Control by
      Majority.

            

    

     

    Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of any Series
may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for
exercising any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power
conferred on it. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that
conflicts with law or this Indenture that the Trustee determines may be unduly
prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Notes or that may involve the
Trustee in personal liability.

              Limitation on
      Suits.

            

    

     

    A Holder
of any Series of Notes may pursue a remedy with respect to this Indenture or the
Notes only if:

     

    (a)           such
Holder has given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of
Default;

     

    (b)           the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of
such Series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the
remedy;

     

    (c)           such
Holder of a Note of such Series or Holders of Notes of such Series offer and, if
requested, provide to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against
any loss, liability or expense;

     

    (d)           the
Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the
request and the offer and, if requested, the provision of indemnity;
and

    (e)           during
such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then
outstanding Notes of such Series do not give the Trustee a direction
inconsistent with the request.

     

    A Holder
of any Series of Notes may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of
another Holder of such Series of Notes or to obtain a preference or priority
over another Holder of Notes of such Series.

    Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder of a Note to
receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Note, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in the Note (including in connection
with an offer to purchase), or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected
without the consent of such Holder.

    If an
Event of Default specified in Sections 6.01(a) or (b) hereof occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee is authorized to recover judgment in its own name and as
Trustee of an express trust against the Company for the whole amount of
principal of, premium, if any, and interest remaining unpaid on the Notes and
interest on overdue principal and, to the extent lawful, interest and 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.

              Trustee May File Proofs of
      Claim.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee for each Series of Notes is authorized to file such proofs of claim and
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
the Holders of the Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the
Company (or any other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and
shall be entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in
any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such
payments to the Trustee, and in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due to it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof. To the extent that the payment of any such
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07 hereof out
of the estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of
the same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Holders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation or
under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or
accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder, or to
authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such
proceeding.

              Priorities.

            

    

     

    If the
Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this Article 6, it shall pay
out the money in the following order:

     

    First:  to the
Trustee, its agents and attorneys for amounts due under Section 7.07 hereof,
including payment of all compensation, expense and liabilities incurred, and all
advances made, by the Trustee and the costs and expenses of
collection;

     

    Second:  to Holders
of the Notes for amounts due and unpaid on the Notes for principal, premium, if
any, and interest, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind,
according to the amounts due and payable on the Notes for principal, premium, if
any and interest, respectively; and

     

    Third:  to the
Company.

     

    The
Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Holders of
Notes pursuant to this Section 6.10.

    In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as a Trustee, a
court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit
of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any party litigant in the suit, having due regard to the merits and good
faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does
not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder of a Note pursuant to
Section 6.07 hereof, or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount
of the then outstanding Notes of any Series.

    (ii)           in
the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming
to the requirements of this Indenture, but in the case of any such certificates
of opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same
to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture
(but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein).

     

    (c)           The
Trustee may not be relieved from liabilities for its own negligent action, its
own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except
that:

     

    (i)         
   this paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of
this Section;

     

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

     

    (iii)           the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section
6.05 hereof.

     

    (d)           Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture that in
any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c), (e) and
(f) of this Section and Section 7.02.

     

    (e)           No
provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own
funds or incur any liability. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of its rights and powers under this Indenture at the request of any
Holders, unless such Holder shall have offered to the Trustee security and
indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or
expense.

     

    (f)         
  The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in
trust by the Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

      7.02

            	
              Rights of
      Trustee.

            

    

     

    (a)           The
Trustee may conclusively rely upon any document believed by it to be genuine and
to have been signed or presented by the proper Person. The Trustee need not
investigate any fact or matter stated in the document.

     

    (b)           Before
the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officer’s
Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel or both. The Trustee shall not be liable
for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in reliance on such
Officer’s Certificate or Opinion of Counsel. The Trustee may consult with
counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of
Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection from liability
in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good
faith and in reliance thereon.

    
      
         

      

      
        26

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c)           The
Trustee may act through its attorneys and agents and shall not be responsible
for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due
care.

     

    (d)           The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith that it believes to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred
upon it by this Indenture.

     

    (e)           Unless
otherwise specifically provided in this Indenture, any demand, request,
direction or notice from the Company shall be sufficient if signed by an Officer
of the Company issuing such demand, request or notice.

     

    (f)           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
unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities that
might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction.

     

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

     

    (h)           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 or Event of
Default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,
and such notice references the Notes and this Indenture.

     

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

     

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

              Individual Rights of
      Trustee.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Company or any Affiliate of the Company
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. However, in the event
the Trustee acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict
within 90 days, apply to the SEC for permission to continue as Trustee or
resign. Any Agent may exercise the same rights, with the same duties, as the
Trustee under this Section 7.03. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10
and 7.11 hereof.

              Trustee’s
      Disclaimer.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the
validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, it shall not be accountable
for the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Notes or any money paid to the
Company or upon the Company’s direction under any provision of this Indenture,
it shall not be responsible for the use or application of any money received by
any Paying Agent other than the Trustee, and it shall not be responsible for any
statement or recital herein or any statement in the Notes or any other document
in connection with the sale of the Notes or pursuant to this Indenture other
than its certificate of authentication.

      7.05

            	
              Notice of
      Defaults.

            

    

     

    If a
Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if it is actually known
to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to Holders of
Notes a notice of the Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it
occurs. Except in the case of a Default or Event of Default relating to the
payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Trustee may withhold the
notice from Holders of the Notes if and so long as a Responsible Officer(s) in
good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the
Holders of the Notes.

     

    
      	
              Section
      7.06

            	
              Reports by Trustee to Holders
      of the Notes.

            

    

     

    Within 60
days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the first issuance of
Notes under this Indenture, and for so long as Notes remain outstanding, the
Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes a brief report dated as of such
reporting date that complies with TIA Section 313(a) (but if no event described
in TIA Section 313(a) has occurred within the twelve months preceding the
reporting date, no report need be transmitted). The Trustee also shall comply
with TIA Section 313(b)(2). The Trustee shall also transmit by mail all reports
as required by TIA Section 313(c).

     

    A copy of
each report at the time of its mailing to the Holders of Notes shall be mailed
to the Company and filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Notes
are listed in accordance with TIA Section 313(d). The Company shall promptly
notify the Trustee when the Notes are listed on any stock exchange or delisted
therefrom.

     

    
      	
              Section
      7.07

            	
              Compensation and
      Indemnity.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time such reasonable compensation
as agreed upon in writing for its acceptance of this Indenture and services
hereunder. The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a Trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the
Trustee promptly upon request for all reasonable disbursements, advances and
expenses incurred or made by it in addition to the compensation for its
services, except to the extent any such expense, advance or disbursement may be
attributable to the Trustee’s negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith. Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses
of the Trustee’s agents and counsel.

    
      
         

      

      
        28

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    The
Company shall indemnify the Trustee against any and all losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses (including taxes other than taxes based upon the
income of the Trustee) incurred by it arising out of or in connection with the
acceptance or administration of its duties under this Indenture, including the
costs and expenses of enforcing this Indenture against the Company (including
this Section 7.07) and defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by
the Company or any Holder or any other person) or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent any such loss, liability or expense may be attributable to its
negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct. The Trustee shall notify the
Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Trustee to so notify the Company shall not relieve the Company of its
obligations hereunder. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall
cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have separate counsel and the Company
shall pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not
pay for any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld.

     

    The
obligations of the Company under this Section 7.07 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

     

    To secure
the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a Lien
prior to the Notes on all money or property held or collected by the Trustee,
except that held in trust to pay principal and interest on particular Notes.
Such Lien 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 6.01(7) or (8) 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 Bankruptcy
Law.

     

    The
Trustee shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 313(b)(2) to the extent
applicable.

     

    
      	
              Section
      7.08

            	
              Replacement of
      Trustee.

            

    

     

    A
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
appointment as provided in this Section.

     

    The
Trustee may resign in writing at any time and be discharged from the trust
hereby created by so notifying the Company. The Holders of Notes of a majority
in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a given Series may remove
the Trustee with respect to the Notes of such Series by so notifying the Trustee
and the Company in writing. The Company may remove the Trustee if:

     

    (a)           the
Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10 hereof;

    
      
         

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (b)           the
Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     

    (c)           a
custodian or public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property;
or

     

    (d)           the
Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     

    If the
Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee
for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within
one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the then outstanding Notes may appoint a successor Trustee
to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     

    If a
successor Trustee does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee
resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company, or the Holders of
Notes of at least 10% in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of a
given Series may petition at the expense of the Company any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Notes of such Series.

     

    If the
Trustee, after written request by any Holder of a Note of a given Series who has
been a Holder of such Note for at least six months, fails to comply with Section
7.10, such Holder of such Note may petition any court of competent jurisdiction
for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Notes of such Series.

     

    A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon, the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture. The
successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to Holders of the Notes.
The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all property held by it as Trustee
to the successor Trustee, provided all sums owing to
the Trustee (including its agents and/or counsel) hereunder have been paid and
subject to the Lien provided for in Section 7.07 hereof. Notwithstanding
replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.08, the Company’s
obligations under Section 7.07 hereof shall continue for the benefit of the
retiring Trustee.

      Etc.

            

    

     

    If the
Trustee consolidates, merges or converts into, or transfers all or substantially
all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation, the successor
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

    This
Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA
Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee is subject to TIA Section

    The
Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship
listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated therein.

application by the Trustee for written instructions from the Company may, at the
option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or
omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date on and/or after which
such action shall be taken or such omission shall be effective. The Trustee
shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission of, the Trustee in
accordance with a proposal included in such application on or after the date
specified in such application (which date shall not be less than three Business
Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives such
application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any
earlier date) unless prior to the taking of such action (or the effective date
in the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written
instructions in response to such application specifying the action to be taken
or omitted.

Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.02, the Company and each of the guarantors, if any, shall, subject to
the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 hereof, be deemed
to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all outstanding
Notes of such Series (including the related guarantees, if any) on the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “Legal Defeasance”). For this
purpose, Legal Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid
and discharged the entire Indebtedness represented by the outstanding Notes of
such Series (including the related guarantees, if any), which shall thereafter
be deemed to be “outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 8.05 hereof and
the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below, and to
have satisfied all of their other obligations under such Notes, such guarantees,
if any and this Indenture (and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except
for the following provisions which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive
solely from the trust fund described in Section 8.05 hereof, and as more fully
set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of, interest and

      Defeasance.

            

    

     

    Upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, the Company and each of the guarantors, if any, will, subject to

4.05 with respect to the outstanding Notes of the applicable Series on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 8.04 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“Covenant Defeasance”),
and the Notes shall thereafter be deemed not “outstanding” for the purposes of
any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or act of Holders (and the
consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants, but shall
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Notes shall not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes). For this purpose, Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to the
outstanding Notes of such Series, 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 covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such covenant or by reason of any reference in any such
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default under
Section 6.01 hereof, but, except as specified above, the remainder of this
Indenture and such Notes shall be unaffected thereby. In addition, upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 8.01 hereof of the option applicable to this
Section 8.03, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section
8.04 hereof, Sections 6.01(4) through 6.01(6) hereof shall not constitute Events
of Default.

    The
following shall be the conditions to the application of either Sections 8.02 or
8.03 hereof to any outstanding Series of Notes:

     

    In order
to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities,
or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities
in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized
firm of independent public accountants, to pay the principal of, interest and
premium, if any, on the outstanding Notes of such Series on the stated maturity
or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must
specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular
redemption date;

    (b)           in
the case of an election under Section 8.02 hereof with respect to any Series of
Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming 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 Indenture, there has been a change in the
applicable U.S. federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and
based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the
outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will
be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner
and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had
not occurred;

     

    (c)           in
the case of an election under Section 8.03 hereof with respect to any Series of
Notes, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee confirming that the Holders of the
outstanding Notes of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for
U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and
will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same
manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant
Defeasance had not occurred;

     

    (d)           no
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of
such deposit, other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the
incurrence of Indebtedness all or a portion of the proceeds of which will be
used to defease the Notes of any Series pursuant to this Article 8 concurrently
with such incurrence, or insofar as Sections 6.01(7) or 6.01(8) hereof is
concerned, at any time in the period ending on the 91st day after the date of
deposit;

     

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

     

    (f)     
      the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the
Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of the Notes over the other
creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or
defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

     

    (g)           the
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the
Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied
with.

    Subject
to Section 8.06 hereof, all money and non-callable Government Securities
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 8.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section
8.04 hereof in respect of the outstanding Notes of any Series shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Notes and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying
Agent (including the Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Notes of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

imposed on or assessed against the cash or non-callable Government Securities
deposited pursuant to Section 8.04 hereof 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 the outstanding Notes of the applicable
Series.

     

    Anything
in this Article 8 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon the request of the Company any money
or non-callable Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 8.04
hereof which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee (which may be the opinion delivered under Section 8.04(a) hereof), are
in excess of the amount thereof that would then be required to be deposited to
effect an equivalent Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any
Series of Notes and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal, and
premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on its request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter 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 reasonable expense of the Company cause to be published once, in the
New York Times and the
Wall Street Journal
(national edition), 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 notification or publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then
remaining shall be repaid to the Company.

non-callable Government Securities in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof, as the case may be, by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company’s and any applicable guarantors’ obligations under
this Indenture and the applicable Notes and the guarantees shall be revived and
reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 8.02 or 8.03
hereof until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all
such money in accordance with Section 8.02 or 8.03 hereof, as the case may be;
provided, however,

interest on any Note following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Notes to receive such

      necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
      hereunder by more than one Trustee;
or

    Upon the
request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and
upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof,
the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of any amended or
supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by the terms of this Indenture
and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be
therein contained, but the Trustee will not be obligated to enter into such
amended or supplemental indenture that affects its own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

      9.02

            	
              With Consent of Holders of
      Notes.

            

    

     

    The
Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written
consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
outstanding Notes of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture
(including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange offer
for the Notes of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture or
of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Notes of each such Series. Except as otherwise provided herein, the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes of
each Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in connection
with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Notes of such Series) may waive
compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture or the Notes with
respect to such Series.

     

    It shall
not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Notes under this Section 9.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or waiver,
but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance thereof. Upon
the request of the Company accompanied by a resolution of its Board of Directors
authorizing the execution of any such amended or supplemental indenture, and
upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the
consent of the Holders of Notes as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of
the documents described in Section 7.02 hereof, the Trustee will join with the
Company in the execution of such amended or supplemental indenture unless such
amended or supplemental indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion, but will not be obligated to, enter into such
amended or supplemental Indenture.

     

    After a
supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to the Holders of Notes affected thereby a notice briefly
describing the supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to
mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver. However,
without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver under this
Section 9.02 may not:

     

    (a)           reduce
the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment or
waiver;

     

    (b)           reduce
the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter or waive any
of the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

     

    (c)           reduce
the rate of or change the time for payment of interest, including default
interest, on any Note;

     

    (d)           waive
a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of or premium, if any,
or interest, if any, on the Notes of a given Series, except a rescission of
acceleration of the Notes of such Series by the Holders of at least a majority
in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Notes of such Series and a
waiver of the payment default that resulted from such
acceleration;

    
      
         

      

      
        36

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (e)           make
any Note payable in money other than that stated in the Notes;

     

    (f)           make
any change in the provisions of this Indenture relating to waivers of past
Defaults or the rights of Holders of the Notes to receive payments of principal
of or premium, interest, if any, on the Notes; or

     

    (g)           make
any change in the foregoing amendment and waiver provisions.

      Indenture Act.

            

    

     

    Every
amendment to this Indenture or the Notes of one or more Series shall be set
forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then in
effect.

              Revocation and Effect of
      Consents.

            

    

     

    Until an
amendment or waiver becomes effective, consent to it by a Holder of a Note is a
continuing consent by the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Note or
portion of a Note that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Note,
even if notation of the consent is not made on any Note. However, any such
Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Note or portion of
a Note if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date the
amendment or waiver becomes effective. An amendment or waiver becomes effective
in accordance with its terms and thereafter binds every Holder.

      Notes.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any
Note of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for Notes
of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new
Notes of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

    In
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article 9 or the modifications thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all
supplemental indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental
indenture that adversely affects its rights.

    Subject
to the provisions of Section 8.06 hereof, all money deposited with a Trustee
pursuant to Section 10.1 hereof shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Notes with respect to which such deposit
was made and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as such
Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with such Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

     

    If such
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any money or Government Securities in

applicable Notes shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 hereof; provided that if the Company
has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any Notes

    SINKING

      12.01

            	
              Applicability of
      Article.

            

    

     

    The
provisions of this Article 12 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of the Notes of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or required
by any form of Notes of such Series issued pursuant to this
Indenture.

     

    The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the
Notes of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund
payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Notes of such
Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund
payment.” If provided for by the terms of Notes of any Series, the cash
amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
Section 12.02 hereof. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Notes of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Notes of
such Series.

     

    
      	
              Section
      12.02

            	
              Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
      Payments with Notes.

            

    

     

    The
Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with
respect to the Notes of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Notes (1) deliver outstanding Notes of such Series to which such sinking fund
payment is applicable (other than any of such Notes previously called for
mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Notes of such Series
to which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased
by the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
terms of such Series of Notes (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking fund) or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments or other
optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Notes, provided that such Notes have
not been previously so credited. Such Notes shall be received by the Trustee,
together with an Officer’s Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15
days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting
Notes for redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at
the price specified in such Notes for redemption through operation of the
sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced
accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit of Notes in lieu of cash
payments pursuant to this Section 12.02, the principal amount of Notes of such
Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be
less than $100,000, the Trustee need not call Notes of such Series for
redemption, except upon receipt of a Company Order that such action be taken,
and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied
to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from time to time upon receipt of a Company
Order pay over and deliver to the Company any cash payment so being held by the
Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the Company to the Trustee of
Notes of that Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount
equal to the cash payment required to be released to the
Company.

              Redemption of Notes for
      Sinking Fund.

            

    

     

    Not less
than 45 days (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee) prior to
each sinking fund payment date for any Series of Notes, the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that Series pursuant to the terms of
that Series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of
cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting of Notes of that Series pursuant to Section 12.02 hereof, and the
optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and the Company shall thereupon be obligated to pay the
amount therein specified. Not less than 15 days nor more than 45 days (unless
otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officer’s Certificate or
supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Notes) before each
such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Notes to be redeemed
upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02
hereof and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and
at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.03 hereof.
Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Notes shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06
hereof.
