    3. Compensation.

      Salary.
      In
      consideration for the Executive’s services hereunder, the Company shall pay to
      the Executive an annual base salary in the amount of $100,000 initially. The
      Executive’s annual base salary shall be reviewed at least annually by the
      Company, and the Company may increase the Executive’s annual base salary from
      time to time and not decrease it. The Company shall pay annual base salary
      in
      accordance with the normal payroll payment practices of the Company and subject
      to such deductions and withholdings as law or policies of the Company, from
      time
      to time in effect, may require. 

    

    (b) Annual
      Bonus.
      In
      addition to the payment under Section 3(a) hereof, the Executive shall be
      entitled to participate in a bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”) for employees of the
      group responsible for managing and growing the operations of the Company (the

      the first year anniversary of this Agreement and as long as the Executive

      made by the Future Now Management Group.
      The
      Bonus Pool for a particular Fiscal Year shall be equal to, 5% for the first
      year, 7.5% for the second Year and 10% for the third year, of the Pre-Bonus
      Pre-Tax Profits (as defined below), less the deductions specified in Section
      3
      (b)(1) below. Amounts paid to the Executive out of the Bonus Pool, including
      any
      deferred bonus amounts as hereinafter provided, are collectively referred to
      herein as the “Bonus Award.” To the extent necessary to avoid the limitation on
      the federal tax deductibility of the Bonus Award for any year under Section
      162
      (m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), payment
      thereof may, at the sole discretion of the Board, or a committee thereof, be
      deferred only to the extent necessary to avoid exceeding such Section 162 (m)
      limitation to the first taxable year of the Company in which the payment would
      be fully deductible; provided, however, that the Bonus Award or portion thereof
      shall be deferred only in the event that the compensation of other executives
      of
      the Company whose compensation is subject to Section 162 (m) is deferred under
      circumstances similar to those of the Executive. Except as provided in the
      previous sentence, the Bonus Award for a Fiscal Year shall be payable as soon
      as
      practicable after the release of the Company’s audited financial statements for
      such Fiscal Year, but in no event later than ninety (90) days after the end
      of
      such Fiscal Year. In the case of deferral as described above, amounts deferred
      shall be credited with such interest and on such other items as the Company
      and
      the Executive shall mutually agree. All deferred Bonus Awards shall be payable
      within thirty (30) days after the beginning of the first Fiscal Year in which
      such amount may be paid.

    Section 2.03
      Execution and Authentication. Two

      Securities for original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board
      Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt
      by the Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize
      authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from
      the
      Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall
      be
      promptly confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date
of
      its
      authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental
      indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate. The aggregate principal amount of
      Securities of any Series outstanding at any time may not exceed any limit upon
      the maximum principal amount for such Series set forth in the Board Resolution,
      supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to
      Section 2.02, except as provided in Section 2.02 or 2.08. Prior to the
      issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and
      (subject to Section 7.02) shall be fully protected in relying on:
      (a) the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’
Certificate establishing the form of the Securities of that Series or of
      Securities within that Series and the terms of the Securities of that Series
      or
      of Securities within that Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying
      with Section 10.04 and (c) an Opinion of Counsel complying with
      Section 10.04. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate
      and deliver any Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being
      advised by counsel, determines that such action may not be taken lawfully;
      or
      (b) if the Trustee’s by its board of directors or trustees, executive
      committee or a trust committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall
      determine in good faith that such action would expose the Trustee to personal
      liability to Holders of any then outstanding Series of Securities. The Trustee
      may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
      Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities 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 the Company or an Affiliate of the Company.

    Section 2.04
      Registrar and Paying Agent. The
      Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place
      or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.02,
      an office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or
      surrendered for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be
      surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where
      notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of
      such
      Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar shall
      keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their transfer
      and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
      the
      name and address, and any change in the name or address, of each Registrar,
      Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain
      any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall fail to
      furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such presentations,
      surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
      Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
      to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company
      may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars, additional
      paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to time rescind
      such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
      shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain a
      Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified pursuant
      to
      Section 2.02 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The Company
      will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
      rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar,
      additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
      paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service
      agent. The Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying
      Agent and Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent
      or Service Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities
      of that Series are first issued.

    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 Securities, or the Trustee, all money held by the Paying Agent
      for
      the payment of principal of or interest on the Series of Securities, and will
      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 of
      the
      Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If the Company or a
      Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate and hold
      in a
      separate trust fund for the benefit of Holders of any Series of Securities
      all
      money held by it as Paying Agent. 

     

    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 Securities 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 ten (10) days before each 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 Securities. 

     

    Section 2.07
      Transfer and Exchange. Where
      Securities 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 Securities 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
      Securities 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 9.06). Neither the Company nor
      the
      Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the transfer of, or
      exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning at the opening of
      business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a notice of
      redemption of Securities 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 Securities of any Series selected, called or being
      called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such
      Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

     

    Section 2.08
      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. 

     

    (a)
      If
      any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute
      and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery in exchange
      therefor a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal
      amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. If there shall
      be
      delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction
      of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or
      indemnity as may be required by them to save each
      of
      them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice
      to
      the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a protected
      purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall
      authenticate and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed,
      lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor
      and
      principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. In
      case
      any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about
      to
      become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing
      a
      new Security, pay such Security.

    (b)
      Upon
      the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require
      the
      payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
      may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees
      and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. Every new Security of any
      Series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen
      Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of
      the
      Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at
      any
      time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
      Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
      that
      Series duly issued hereunder. The provisions of this Section are exclusive
      and
      shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect
      to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
      Securities. 

     

    Section 2.09
      Outstanding Securities. The
      Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by
      the
      Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
      those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee
      in
      accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as
      not
      outstanding. If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases
      to be outstanding until the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that
      the
      replaced Security is held by a protected purchaser. If the Paying Agent (other
      than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an Affiliate of the Company)
      holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money sufficient to pay such
      Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities
      of
      the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue. A
      Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
      of
      the Company holds the Security. In determining whether the Holders of the
      requisite principal amount of outstanding Securities have given any request,
      demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver hereunder, the
      principal amount of a Discount Security that shall be deemed to be outstanding
      for such purposes shall be the amount of the principal thereof that would be
      due
      and payable as of the date of such determination upon a declaration of
      acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 6.02.

     

    Section 2.10
      Treasury Securities. In
      determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities
      of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
      notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company shall
      be
      disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
      shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization,
      direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities of a Series that the
      Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

    Section 2.11
      Temporary Securities. Until
      definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
      Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary
      Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
      may
      have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
      Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon
      request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date
      of
      maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary
      securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive
      Securities. 

     

    Section 2.12
      Cancellation. The
      Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.
      The
      Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
      surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
      Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for registration of transfer,
      exchange, payment, replacement or cancellation in accordance with its customary
      procedures and deliver such canceled Securities to the Company, unless the
      Company otherwise directs; provided that the Trustee shall not be required
      to
      destroy Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
      Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

     

    Section 2.13
      Defaulted Interest. If
      the
      Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall
      pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest
      payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Holders of the Series
      on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record date
      and
      payment date. At least ten (10) days before the record date, the Company
      shall mail to the Trustee and to each Holder of the Series a notice that states
      the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid. The
      Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner. 

     

    Section 2.14
      Global Securities 

     

    (a)
      Terms
      of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or an
      Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series shall
      be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities
      and
      the Depository for such Global Security or Securities. 

     

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

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (f)
      Acts
      of Holders. The Depository, 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. 

     

    (g)
      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 Security shall be made to
      the
      Holder thereof. 

     

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

     

    (i)
      The
      Depository or its nominee, as registered owner of a Global Security, shall
      be
      the Holder of such Global Security for all purposes under the Indenture and
      the
      Securities, and owners of beneficial interests in a Global Security shall hold
      such interests pursuant to the Applicable Procedures. Accordingly, any such
      owner’s beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown only on, and the
      transfer of such interest shall be effected only through, records maintained
      by
      the Depositary or its nominee and such owners of beneficial interests in a
      Global Security will not be considered the owners or holders thereof.

     

    Section 2.15
      CUSIP Numbers. The
      Company in issuing the Securities 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 Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
      reliance may be placed only on the other elements of identification printed
      on
      the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
      in
      or omission of such numbers. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee
      of
      any change in “CUSIP” numbers of which the Company becomes aware.

    REDEMPTION
      

     

    Section 3.01
      Notice to Trustee.
      The
      Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to
      redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the
      Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof
      at
      such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series
      of
      Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior
      to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant
      to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption
      date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed.

     

    Section 3.02
      Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. Unless
      otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a
      supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the
      Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the
      Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems
      fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities
      of
      the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may
      select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series
      that
      have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions
      of
      them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
      or,
      with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations
      pursuant to Section 2.02(j), the minimum principal denomination for each
      Series and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply
      to Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of
      Securities of that Series called for redemption. 

     

    Section 3.03
      Notice of Redemption. 

     

    (a)
      Unless otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a
      supplemental indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but
      not more than 60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice
      of redemption by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be
      redeemed and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion
      a notice in an Authorized Newspaper. The notice shall identify the Securities
      of
      the Series to be redeemed and shall state: 

     

    (i)
      the
      redemption date; 

     

    (ii)
      the
      redemption price; 

     

    (iii)
      the
      name and address of the Paying Agent; 

     

    (iv)
      that
      Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
      Agent to collect the redemption price; 

     

    (v)
      that
      interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue
      on
      and after the redemption date; 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (vi)
      the
      CUSIP number, if any; and 

     

    (vii)
      any
      other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series
      or
      the Securities 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. 

     

    Section 3.04
      Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once
      notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.03,
      Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the
      redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not
      be
      conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid
      at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date; provided
      that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the

    Section 6.02
      Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment. If
      an
      Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time
      outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred
      to
      in Section 6.1(d) or (e)), then in every such case the Trustee or the
      Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
      Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any
      Securities of that Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal
      amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued
      and
      unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities 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
      Section 6.1(d) or (e) shall occur, the principal amount (or specified
      amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding
      Securities 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 and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
      been
      obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders
      of
      a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series,
      by
      written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
      declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to
      Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and
      interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely
      by
      such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
      Section 6.13. No such rescission shall affect any subsequent Default or
      impair any right consequent thereon. 

     

    Section 6.03
      Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

     

    The
      Company covenants that if: 

     

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

    (b)
      default is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity
      thereof, 

     

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

     

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

     

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

      proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities
      or
      the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
      Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then

      due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
      irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company
      for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and
      empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, (a) to file and
      prove a claim for the whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid
      in

      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 of the Holders allowed in such judicial
      proceeding, and (b) to collect and receive any moneys or other property
      payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same, and any
      custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
      similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
      Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
      shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
      to
      the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
      disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
      other
      amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.07. 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 Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or
      to
      authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any
      such
      proceeding.

      any
      such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name
      as
      trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision
      for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
      advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit
      of
      the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been

      Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No
      delay
      or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any
      right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
      or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
      therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee
      or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
      deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

     

    Section 6.12
      Control by Holders. The
      Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
      any
      Series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
      any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
      or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such
      Series, provided that: 

     

    (a)
      such
      direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,

    (b)
      the

      inconsistent with such direction, and 

     

    (c)
      subject to the provisions of Section 6.01, the Trustee shall have the right
      to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall,
      by a
      Responsible Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed
      would involve the Trustee in personal liability. 

     

    Section 6.13
      Waiver of Past Defaults. The
      Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding
      Securities of any Series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities
      of
      such Series waive any past Default hereunder with respect to such Series and
      its
      consequences, except a Default (i) in the payment of the principal of or
      interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders
      of
      a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series
      may
      rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
      default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a
      covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the
      consent of the Holder of each outstanding Security of such Series affected.
      Upon
      any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default
      arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of
      this
      Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
      or
      impair any right consequent thereon. 

     

    Section 6.14
      Undertaking for Costs. All
      parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his
      acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
      discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
      under
      this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
      suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
      suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
      in
      its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
      against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
      good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
      provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
      Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
      Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
      amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted
      by
      any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest
      on
      any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed
      in
      such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date).

    Section 7.01
      Duties of Trustee. 

     

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

     

    (b)
      Except during the continuance of an Event of Default: 

     

    (i)
      The
      Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
      Indenture and no others.

    (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 Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the
      Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the
      case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any
      provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee,
      the
      Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to
      determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
      

     

    (c)
      The
      Trustee may not be relieved from liability 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. 

     

    (iii)
      The
      Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
      omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities of any Series in good
      faith
      in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
      amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series relating to the time, method
      and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
      or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
      Indenture with respect to the Securities of such Series. 

     

    (d)
      Every
      provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
      to
      paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section. 

     

    (e)
      The
      Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power at the
      request or direction of any Holder unless it receives 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. 

     

    (g)
      No
      provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds
      or
      otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties,
      or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
      grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
      such risk is not reasonably assured to it. 

     

    (h)
      The
      Paying Agent, the Registrar and any Service Agent or authenticating agent shall
      be entitled to the protections, immunities and standard of care as are set
      forth
      in paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the
      Trustee.

    Section 7.02
      Rights of Trustee. 

     

    (a)
      The
      Trustee may rely on and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
      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 Officers’
Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
      to
      take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate. 

     

    (c)
      The
      Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct
      or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. No Depository shall be
      deemed an agent of the Trustee, and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
      any
      act or omission by any Depository. 

     

    (d)
      The
      Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
      faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers,
      provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith.

     

    (e)
      The
      Trustee may consult with counsel, and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion
      of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
      of
      any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without negligence and
      in
      good faith and in reliance thereon. 

     

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

     

    (g)
      The
      Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
      stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
      evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
      discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
      or
      matters as it may see fit. 

     

    (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 is received
      by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
      references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series
      and
      this Indenture. 

     

    (i)
      The
      permissive rights of the Trustee enumerated herein shall not be construed as
      duties. 

     

    Section 7.03
      Individual Rights of Trustee. The
      Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
      of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the
      Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent
      may
      do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10
      and
      7.11.

    Section 7.04
      Trustee’s Disclaimer. The
      Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture
      or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
      proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement
      in the Securities other than its authentication. 

     

    Section 7.05
      Notice of Defaults.
      If a
      Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the
      Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the
      Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of the Securities of that Series
      and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion in an
      Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days
      after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
      knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default
      or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security
      of
      any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate
      trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
      determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Holders of that
      Series. 

     

    Section 7.06
      Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within
      60
      days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
      Holders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by the
      Registrar and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in an
      Authorized Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance
      with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section 313. A copy of each
      report at the time of its mailing to Holders of any Series shall be filed with
      the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that Series are
      listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities of any
      Series are listed on any stock exchange. 

     

    Section 7.07
      Compensation and Indemnity. The
      Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services
      as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing.
      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 upon
      request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses
      shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents
      and counsel. The Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor
      Trustee (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability
      or
      expense, including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined
      by the income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in this
      Section 7.07 in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as
      Trustee or Agent. The Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim
      for
      which it may seek indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee
      shall cooperate in the defense. The Trustee may have one 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. This indemnification shall apply to
      officers, directors, employees, shareholders and agents of the Trustee. The
      Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or
      liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee,
      shareholder or agent of the Trustee through the negligence or bad faith of
      any
      such persons. To secure
      the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien
      prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected
      by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest
      on
      particular Securities of that Series. When the Trustee incurs expenses or
      renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(d) or
      (e) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended
      to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law. The
      provisions of this Section shall survive the resignation or removal of the
      Trustee and the termination of this Indenture.

    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 with respect
      to
      the Securities of one or more Series by so notifying the Company at least 30
      days prior to the date of the proposed resignation. The Holders of a majority
      in
      principal amount of the Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with
      respect to that Series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company
      may remove the Trustee with respect to Securities of one or more Series if:
      

     

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

     

    (b)
      the
      Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or 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.

     

    If
      a
      successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series
      does
      not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
      the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in
      principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any
      court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
      

     

    A
      successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
      the
      retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring
      Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
      Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.07, 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 with respect
      to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this
      Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each
      Holder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding,
      publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper. 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 with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it prior
      to the date of such replacement.

      substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
      the
      successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.
      

     

    Section 7.10
      Eligibility; Disqualification.
      This

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

     

    Notwithstanding
      the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company
      to the Trustee under Section 7.07 and, if money shall have been deposited
      with the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of
      Sections 2.04,
      2.05,
      2.07,
      2.08, 8.01, 8.02 and 8.05 shall survive. 

     

    Section 8.02
      Application of Trust Funds; Indemnification. 

     

    (a)
      Subject to the provisions of Section 8.05, all money deposited with the
      Trustee pursuant to Section 8.01, all money and U.S. Government Obligations
      or Foreign Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to
      Section 8.03 or 8.04 and all money received by the Trustee in respect of
      U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations deposited with
      the
      Trustee pursuant to Section 8.03 or 8.04, shall be held in trust and
      applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this
      Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other
      than the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine,
      to the persons entitled thereto, of the principal and interest for whose payment
      such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee or analogous
      payments as contemplated by Sections 8.03 or 8.04. 

     

    (b)
      The
      Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
      charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
      Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Sections 8.03 or 8.04 or the
      interest and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any
      payable by or on behalf of Holders. 

     

    (c)
      The
      Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
      Request any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or
      money held by it as provided in Sections 8.03 or 8.04 which, in the opinion
      of a
      nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed
      in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess
      of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for
      the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
      Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not
      authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
      Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

      Legal Defeasance of Securities of any Series. Unless
      this Section 8.03 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02(s),
      to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company shall be deemed
      to
      have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding
      Securities of any Series on the 91st day after the date of the deposit referred
      to in subparagraph (d) hereof, and the provisions of this Indenture, as it
      relates to such outstanding Securities of such Series, shall no longer be in
      effect (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall, at Company
      Request, execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except as to:
      

     

    (a)
      the
      rights of Holders of Securities of such Series to receive, from the trust funds
      described in subparagraph (d) hereof, (i) payment of the principal of
      and each installment of principal of and interest on the outstanding Securities
      of such Series on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of
      principal or interest, and (ii) the benefit of any mandatory sinking fund
      payments applicable to the Securities of such Series on the day on which such
      payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
      and
      the Securities of such Series; and 

     

    (b)
      the
      provisions of Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.07, 2.08, 8.02, 8.03 and 8.05; and

     

    (c)
      the
      rights, powers, trust and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; 

     

    provided
      that, the following conditions shall have been satisfied: 

     

    (d)
      with
      reference to this Section 8.03, the Company shall have deposited or caused
      to be irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.02(c)) with
      the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
      payments, specifically pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the
      benefit of the Holders of such Securities (i) in the case of Securities of
      such Series denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government
      Obligations, or (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated
      in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign
      Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal
      in
      respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without
      reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee),
      not
      later than one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in
      cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
      public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
      the
      Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal of and interest,
      if
      any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of all the Securities
      of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or principal and
      such
      sinking fund payments are due; 

     

    (e)
      such
      deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
      under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
      is a party or by which it is bound; 

     

    (f)
      no
      Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall
      have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
      ending on the 91st day after such date; 

     

    (g)
      the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Company has received from, or
      there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or
      (ii) since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change
      in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that,
      and
      based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the
      Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
      income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and
      will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner
      and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance
      and discharge had not occurred; 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        29

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (h)
      the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
      that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring
      the
      Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company
      or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other
      creditors of the Company; 

     

    (i)
      the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for
      relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied
      with;
      and 

     

    (j)
      such
      defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting
      an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
      as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt
      from
      registration thereunder. 

     

    Section 8.04
      Covenant Defeasance. Unless
      this Section 8.04 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.02(s),
      to be inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after the 91st day after
      the date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof, the Company
      may omit to comply with respect to the Securities of any Series with any term,
      provision or condition set forth under Sections 4.02, 4.03, and 5.01 as well
      as
      any additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series
      of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered
      pursuant to Section 2.02 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants
      shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series
      under Section 6.01) and the occurrence of any event specified in a
      supplemental indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution
      or an
      Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 and designated as
      an Event of Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default
      hereunder, with respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that the
      following conditions shall have been satisfied: 

     

    (a)
      with
      reference to this Section 8.04, the Company has deposited or caused to be
      irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.02(c)) with the
      Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments
      specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
      of
      the Holders of such Securities (i) in the case of Securities of such Series
      denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations,
      or
      (ii) in the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign
      Currency (other than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government
      Obligations, which through the payment of interest and principal in respect
      thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment
      and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than
      one day before the due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash,
      sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
      certified public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
      delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal
      of
      and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect
      of
      the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest or
      principal and such sinking fund payments are due; 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        30

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (b)
      such
      deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
      under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
      is a party or by which it is bound; 

     

    (c)
      no
      Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall
      have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
      ending on the 91st day after such date; 

     

    (d)
      the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
      that Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain
      or
      loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant
      defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
      the
      same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
      and covenant defeasance had not occurred; 

     

    (e)
      the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided
      for relating to the covenant defeasance contemplated by this Section have been
      complied with; and 

     

    (f)
      Such
      defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from such deposit constituting
      an investment company within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940,
      as amended, unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or exempt
      from
      registration thereunder. 

     

    Section 8.05
      Repayment to Company. The
      Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon written request
      any
      money held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains
      unclaimed for two years, and after such time, Holders entitled to the money
      must
      look to the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable
      abandoned property law designates another person. 

     

    Section 8.06
      Reinstatement.
      If the
      Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money deposited with respect
      to Securities of any series in accordance with Section 8.01 by reason of
      any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
      governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
      application, the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with respect
      to
      the Securities of such series and under the Securities of such series shall
      be
      revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
      Section 8.01 until such time as the Trustee or the Paying Agent is
      permitted to apply all such money in accordance with Section 8.01;
      provided, however, that if the Company has made any payment of principal of,
      premium (if any) or interest on any Additional Amounts with respect to any
      Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall
      be
      subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
      payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.

      any such Security with respect to such provision or (B) shall become

      of
      such series or any other series; and 

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (l)
      to

    Section 9.02
      With Consent of Holders. 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 Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture
      (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
      offer
      for the Securities 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 each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the
      Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
      of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in
      connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such
      Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture
      or the Securities with respect to such Series. It shall not be necessary for
      the
      consent of the Holders of Securities 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. After a
      supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the
      Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby and, if any
      Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on one occasion
      in
      an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing the supplemental indenture
      or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish such notice, or any
      defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect the validity
      of
      any such supplemental indenture or waiver. 

     

    Section 9.03
      Limitations. Without
      the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not:

     

    (a)
      reduce the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment,
      supplement or waiver; 

     

    (b)
      reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default
      interest) on any Security; 

     

    (c)
      reduce the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce
      the
      amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund
      or
      analogous obligation; 

     

    (d)
      reduce the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration
      of
      the maturity thereof; 

     

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

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        33

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (f)
      make
      the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency
      other than that stated in the Security; 

     

    (g)
      make
      any change in Sections 6.08, 6.13, or 9.03; or 

     

    (h)
      waive
      a redemption payment with respect to any Security. 

     

    Section 9.04
      Compliance with Trust Indenture Act. Every
      amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be
      set
      forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then
      in
      effect. 

     

    Section 9.05
      Revocation and Effect of Consents. Until
      an
      amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes
      effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent
      by
      the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
      that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if
      notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder
      or
      subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a
      Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of
      the
      supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective. Any amendment
      or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of each Series affected by
      such
      amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any of clauses
      (a) through (h) of Section 9.03. In that case, the amendment or
      waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
      subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the
      same
      debt as the consenting Holder’s Security. 

     

    Section 9.06
      Notation on or Exchange of Securities. The
      Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any
      Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for
      Securities of that Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon
      request new Securities of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.
      

     

    Section 9.07
      Trustee Protected. In
      executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
      indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
      created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, in addition
      to the documents required by Section 10.04, 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.

      the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such
      obligations or their creation. Each Holder by accepting a Security waives and

      be considered a part hereof, and shall in no way modify or restrict any of
      the
      terms or provisions hereof. 

     

    Section 10.15
      Securities in a Foreign Currency. Unless
      otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto
      or an
      Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02 of this Indenture
      with respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of
      this
      Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage
      in
      aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected
      by
      a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are
      outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency
      other than Dollars, then the principal amount of Securities of such Series
      which
      shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall
      be
      that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market
      Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section 10.15, “Market
      Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York City for cable
      transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New
      York.
      If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to
      such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without
      liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
      as
      of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks
      in
      The City of New York or in the country of issue of the currency in question
      or
      such other quotations as the Trustee, upon consultation with the Company, shall
      deem appropriate. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining
      the equivalent principal amount in respect of Securities of a Series denominated
      in currency other than Dollars in connection with any action taken by Holders
      of
      Securities pursuant to the terms of this Indenture. All decisions and
      determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate or any
      alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall be
      in
      its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the extent
      permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon
      the Company and all Holders. 

     

    Section 10.16
      Judgment Currency. The
      Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under
      applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any
      court it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of
      or
      interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required
      Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered
      (the “Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which
      in accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in
      The
      City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day
      on
      which final unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New
      York
      Banking Day, then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
      accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
      City
      of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York
      Banking Day preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered
      and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the
      Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender,
      any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance
      with
      subsection (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to
      the
      extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by
      the
      payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable
      in
      respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
      additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
      Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short
      of
      the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable, and
      (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum
      due under this Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day”
means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New
      York on which banking institutions are authorized or required by law, regulation
      or executive order to close.

    ARTICLE
      XI 

    SINKING
      FUNDS 

     

    Section 11.01
      Applicability of Article. The
      provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
      retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or
      required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this
      Indenture. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
      terms of the Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory
      sinking fund payment”
and
      any
      other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such Series is herein
      referred to as an “optional
      sinking fund payment.”
If
      provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any
      sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in
      Section 11.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption
      of Securities of any Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities
      of
      such Series. 

     

    Section 11.02
      Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities. The
      Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment
      with
      respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of
      such
      Securities (1) deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such
      sinking fund payment is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously
      called for mandatory sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit
      Securities 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 Securities (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 Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so
      credited. Such Securities shall be received by the Trustee, together with an
      Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the
      date on which the Trustee begins the process of selecting Securities for
      redemption, and shall be credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the price
      specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking
      fund and
      the
      amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result
      of the delivery or credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to
      this Section 11.02, the principal amount of Securities 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 Securities 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 Securities of that
      Series purchased by the Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to
      the
      cash payment required to be released to the Company.

    Section 11.03
      Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund. Not
      less
      than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental
      indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of
      Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of
      Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
      specifying the amount of the next ensuing 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 Securities of that
      Series pursuant to Section 11.02, 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 30 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of
      Securities) before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select
      the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner
      specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be
      given in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided
      in
      Section 3.03. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
      Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
      3.04, 3.05 and 3.06.
