First Potomac Realty Trust

[Designation of Senior Security]

     First Potomac Realty Trust, a Maryland real estate investment trust
(hereinafter called the “Company,” which term shall include any successor
corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received,
hereby promises to pay to                     , or registered assigns, upon
presentation, the principal sum of                      DOLLARS on                     , and to
pay interest on the outstanding principal amount thereon from                     , or
from the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or
duly provided for, semi-annually in arrears on                      and                      in
each year, commencing                     , at the rate of      % per annum, until the
entire principal amount hereof is paid or made available for payment. The
interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest
Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose
name this Senior Security (or one or more Predecessor Senior Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest which shall be the                      or                      (whether or not a
Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date.
Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith
cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either
be paid to the Person in whose name this Senior Security (or one or more
Predecessor Senior Securities) is registered at the close of business on a
Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by
the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Senior Securities of
this series not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to such
Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Senior Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, all as more fully provided in the Indenture. Payment of the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Senior
Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for
that purpose in the City/County of                     , State of                     , or
elsewhere as provided in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United
States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of
public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company,
payment of interest may be made by (i) check mailed to the address of the
Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register
kept for the Senior Securities pursuant to Section 305 of the Indenture (the
“Security Register”) or (ii) transfer to an account of the Person entitled
thereto located inside the United States.

     This Senior Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of
the Company (herein called the “Senior Securities”), issued and to be issued in
one or more series under an Indenture, dated as of                     , 200      (herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Company and                      (herein called
the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor

 

 

trustee under the Indenture with respect to the Senior Securities), to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby
made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the
Senior Securities and of the terms upon which the Senior Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. This Senior Security is one of the
series designated as the “[designation of Senior Securities],” limited in
aggregate principal amount to $                    .

     The Senior Securities may be redeemed at any time at the option of the
Company, in whole or in part, upon notice of not more than 60 nor less than 30
days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of
(i) the principal amount of the Senior Securities being redeemed plus accrued
interest thereon to the Redemption Date and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any,
with respect to such Senior Securities.

     The following definitions apply with respect to any redemption of the
Senior Securities of this series at the option of the Company:

     “Make-Whole Amount” means, in connection with any optional redemption or
accelerated payment of any Senior Security, the excess, if any, of (i) the
aggregate present value as of the date of such redemption or accelerated
payment of each dollar of principal being redeemed or paid and the amount of
interest (exclusive of any interest accrued to the date of redemption or
accelerated payment) that would have been payable in respect of such dollar if
such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, determined by
discounting, on a semiannual basis, such principal and interest at the
Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third Business Day preceding the date such
notice of redemption is given or declaration of acceleration is made) from the
respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable
if such redemption or accelerated payment had not been made, over (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Senior Securities being redeemed or paid.

     “Reinvestment Rate” means .25% (one-fourth of one percent) plus the
arithmetic mean of the yields under the respective headings “This Week” and
“Last Week” published in the Statistical Release under the caption “Treasury
Constant Maturities” for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month)
corresponding to the remaining life to maturity, as of the payment date of the
principal being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly corresponds to such
maturity, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to
such maturity shall be calculated pursuant to the immediately preceding
sentence and the Reinvestment Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from
such yields on a straight-line basis, rounding in each of such relevant periods
to the nearest month. For the purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate,
the most recent Statistical Release published prior to the date of
determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used.

     “Statistical Release” means the statistical release designated “H.15
(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal
Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States
government securities adjusted to constant maturities or, if such statistical
release is not published at the time of any determination under the Indenture,
then such other reasonably comparable index which shall be designated by the
Company.

     The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of (a) the
entire indebtedness of the Company on this Senior Security and (b) certain
restrictive covenants and the related defaults and Events of Default applicable
to the Company, in each case, upon compliance by the Company with certain
conditions set forth in the Indenture, which provisions apply to this Senior
Security.

     If an Event of Default with respect to the Senior Securities shall occur
and be continuing, the principal of, and the Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, the
Senior Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the
effect provided in the Indenture.

     As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder
of this Senior Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding
with respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee
or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously
given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect
to the Senior Securities, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount
of the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding shall have made written
request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee reasonable indemnity and the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Senior Securities at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with
such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60
days after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The
foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Senior
Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof or any interest
on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.

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

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

     As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Senior Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Senior Security for registration of transfer
at the office or agency of the Company in any Place of Payment where the
principal of, Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, and interest on this Senior
Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in

3

 

form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar for the Senior
Securities (the “Security Registrar”) duly executed by, the Holder hereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Senior
Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Senior Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Senior Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Senior Securities of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

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

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

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in the Indenture or in this Senior Security, or because of any indebtedness
evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as such, or against any
past, present or future shareholder, officer or director, as such, of the
Company or of any successor, either directly or through the Company or any
successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional provision or by the
enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or
otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the
acceptance of this Senior Security by the Holder thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Senior Securities.

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

     THE INDENTURE AND THE SENIOR SECURITIES, INCLUDING THIS SENIOR SECURITY,
SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK.

     Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Company has caused “CUSIP” numbers to
be printed on the Senior Securities as a convenience to the Holders of the
Senior Securities. No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy
of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Senior Securities, and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

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

     A. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by
Holders of the Outstanding Securities of all series or one or more
series, as the case may be, may be embodied in and evidenced by one or
more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in
person or by agents duly appointed in writing. If Securities of a series
are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this
Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series
may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by the record of Holders
of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof, whether in person
or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of Holders of
Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with the
provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments and
any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or
record or both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby
expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments and
any such record (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby)
are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such
instrument or instruments or so voting at any such meeting. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and conclusive in favor of the Trustee
and the Company and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in
the manner provided in this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders
of Securities shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

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

11

 

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

     D. The ownership of Bearer Securities may be proved by the
production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as
depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary,
wherever situated, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to
be satisfactory, showing that at the date therein mentioned such Person
had on deposit with such depositary, or exhibited to it, the Bearer
Securities therein described; or such facts may be proved by the
certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities, if
such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership
of any Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or
affidavit bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer
Security is produced, or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the
Trustee by some other Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered
in exchange for a Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no
longer Outstanding. The ownership of Bearer Securities may also be proved
in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     E. If the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Registered
Securities any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may, at its option, in or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date for the
determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding TIA Section
316(c), such record date shall be the record date specified in or
pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a date not earlier than
the date 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally in
connection therewith and not later than the date such solicitation is
completed. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be
given before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders
for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite
proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding
Securities shall be computed as of such record date; provided that no
such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such record
date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant
to the provisions of this Indenture not later than eleven months after
the record date.

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

     SECTION 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company.

12

 

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

     A. the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing
to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Trust Department, or

     B. the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first class postage prepaid, to the Company
addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the
first paragraph of this Indenture or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.

     SECTION 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice of any event to Holders of
Registered Securities by the Company or the Trustee, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each such Holder affected by such
event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than
the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the
sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of Registered
Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities
given as provided herein. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the manner herein
prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by such Holder,
whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice.

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

     Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or otherwise specified with
respect to any Securities pursuant to Section 301, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Bearer Securities of any event, such notice
shall be sufficiently given if published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City
of New York and in such other city or cities as may be specified in such
Securities, and if the Securities of such series are listed on any stock
exchange outside the United States, in any place at which such Securities are
listed on a securities exchange to the extent that such securities exchange so
requires, on a Business Day, such publication to be not later than the latest
date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such
notice. Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the date of such
publication or, if published more than once, on the date of the first such
publication.

     If by reason of the suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper
or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other cause it shall be
impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided
above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer

13

 

Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.
Neither the failure to give notice by publication to any particular Holder of
Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published,
shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders of
Bearer Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of Registered
Securities given as provided herein.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent or waiver
required or permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language,
except that any published notice may be in an official language of the country
of publication.

     Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be
waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before
or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice.
Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing
shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
reliance upon such waiver.

     SECTION 107. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

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

     SECTION 108. Successors and Assigns.

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

     SECTION 109. Separability Clause.

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

     SECTION 110. Benefits of Indenture.

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

     SECTION 111. No Personal Liability.

     No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained
in this Indenture, in any Security or coupon appertaining thereto, or because
of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, shall be had against any promoter, as
such or, against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director,
as such, of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the
Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable
proceeding or

14

 

otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released by the
acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.

     SECTION 112. Governing Law.

     This Indenture and the Securities and coupons shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the law of the State of New York. This Indenture
is subject to the provisions of the TIA that are required to be part of this
Indenture and shall, to the extent applicable, be governed by such provisions.

     SECTION 113. Legal Holidays.

     In any case where any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment
Date, sinking fund payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of any Security
shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of this Indenture or any Security or coupon other than a
provision in the Securities of any series which specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu hereof), payment of interest or any Additional
Amounts or principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) need not be
made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next
succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect
as if made on the Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date or
sinking fund payment date, or at the Stated Maturity or Maturity, provided that
no interest shall accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after
such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Repayment Date, sinking fund
payment date, Stated Maturity or Maturity, as the case may be.

ARTICLE TWO

SECURITIES FORMS

     SECTION 201. Forms of Securities.

     The Registered Securities, if any, of each series and the Bearer
Securities, if any, and related coupons of each series, shall be in
substantially the forms as shall be established in or pursuant to one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or Board Resolutions, shall have such
appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are
required or permitted by this Indenture or any indenture supplemental hereto,
and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or
designation and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as the Company may
deem appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or with any rule or
regulation made pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock
exchange on which the Securities may be listed, or to conform to usage.

     Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities shall have interest coupons attached.

     The definitive Securities and coupons shall be printed, lithographed or
engraved or produced by any combination of these methods on a steel engraved
border or steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as
determined by the officers executing such Securities or coupons, as evidenced
by their execution of such Securities or coupons.

     SECTION 202. Form of Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication.

     Subject to Section 611, the Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall
be in substantially the following form:

	 	 	 	Authorized Signatory

     SECTION 203. Securities Issuable in Global Form.

     If Securities of or within a series are issuable in global form, as
specified as contemplated by Section 301, then, notwithstanding clause (H) of
Section 301 and the provisions of Section 302, any such Security shall
represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such series as shall be
specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount
of Outstanding Securities of such series from time to time endorsed thereon and
that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such series represented
thereby may from time to time be increased or decreased to reflect exchanges.
Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any
increase or decrease in the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented
thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given
by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Company Order
to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 303 or 304. Subject to the
provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall
deliver and redeliver any Security in permanent global form in the manner and
upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or 304 has
been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company with
respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form
shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 102 and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

     The provisions of the last sentence of Section 303 shall apply to any
Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never
issued and sold by the Company and the Company delivers to the Trustee the
Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented
thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence
of Section 303.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, payment of principal of and any premium or
Make-Whole Amount and interest on any Security in permanent global form shall
be made to the Person or Persons specified therein.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in
the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company
and the Trustee shall treat as

16

 

the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding Securities represented
by a permanent global Security (i) in the case of a permanent global Security
in registered form, the Holder of such permanent global Security in registered
form, or (ii) in the case of a permanent global Security in bearer form,
Euroclear or CEDEL.

such Board Resolution or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. All
Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless
otherwise provided, a series may be reopened, without the consent of the
Holders, for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

     If any of the terms of the Securities of any series are established by
action taken pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or supplemental

of any series denominated in Dollars, in the absence of any such provisions
with respect to the Securities of any series, the Registered Securities of such
series, other than Registered Securities issued in global form (which may be of
any denomination), shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple

20

 

thereof and the Bearer Securities of such series other than Bearer
Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be
issuable in denominations of $5,000.

     SECTION 303. Execution, Authentication Delivery and Dating.

     The Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be executed on
behalf of the Company by its President or a Vice President, under its corporate
seal reproduced thereon, and attested by its Secretary or an Assistant
Secretary. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and coupons
may be manual or facsimile signatures of the present or any future such
authorized officer and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the
Securities.

     Securities or coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or facsimile
signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery
of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities
or coupons.

     At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series, together with any
coupon appertaining thereto, executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities; provided, however, that,
in connection with its original issuance, no Bearer Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States; and provided further
that, unless otherwise specified with respect to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301 a Bearer Security may be delivered in connection with
its original issuance only if the Person entitled to receive such Bearer
Security shall have furnished a certificate to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case
may be, in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture or such other
certificate as may be specified with respect to any series of Securities
pursuant to Section 301, dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the earlier of
the date on which such Bearer Security is delivered and the date on which any
temporary Security first becomes exchangeable for such Bearer Security in
accordance with the terms of such temporary Security and this Indenture. Except
as permitted by Section 306, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any
Bearer Security unless all appurtenant coupons for interest then matured have
been detached and cancelled.

     If all of the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one time
and if the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture establishing such series
shall so permit, such Company Order may set forth procedures acceptable to the
Trustee for the issuance of such Securities and determining the terms of
particular Securities of such series, such as interest rate or formula,
maturity date, date of issuance and date from which interest shall accrue. In
authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d)) shall
be fully protected in relying upon:

     A. an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 102 and stating
that:

21

 

          1. the form or forms of such Securities and any coupons have been,
or will have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be
specified therein, established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;

          2. the terms of such Securities and any coupons have been, or will
have been upon compliance with such procedures as may be specified
therein, established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
and

          3. such Securities, together with any coupons appertaining thereto,
when completed pursuant to such procedures as may be specified therein,
and executed and delivered by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture and issued by
the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations
of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization and other similar laws
of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors’ rights generally and to general equitable principles and to
such other matters as may be specified therein; and

     B. an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 102 and stating
that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to
the issuance of such Securities have been, or will have been upon
compliance with such procedures as may be specified therein, complied
with and that, to the best of the knowledge of the signers of such
certificate, no Event of Default with respect to such Securities shall
have occurred and be continuing.

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

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all the Securities of any series are not to be issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver a Company Order, an Opinion of
Counsel or an Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to the
preceding paragraph at the time of issuance of each Security of such series,
but such order, opinion and certificate, with appropriate modifications to
cover such future issuances, shall be delivered at or before the time of
issuance of the first Security of such series.

     Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication and
each Bearer Security shall be dated as of the date specified as contemplated by
Section 301.

     No Security or coupon appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any
benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless
there appears on such Security or the Security to which such coupon appertains
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
duly executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and
such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and is entitled to the benefits

22

 

of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall
have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by
the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement
(which need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued or sold by
the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

     SECTION 304. Temporary Securities.

     A. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series,
the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any
authorized denomination; substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form, or, if
authorized, in bearer form with one or more coupons or without coupons;
and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other
variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities. In the case
of Securities of any series, such temporary Securities may be in global
form.

     Except in the case of temporary Securities in global form (which
shall be exchanged in accordance with Section 304(B) or as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to a Board Resolution), if temporary Securities
of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities of
that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary
Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities
of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such series
at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that
series, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of
any one or more temporary Securities of any series (accompanied by any
non-matured coupons appertaining thereto), the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like
principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations; provided, however, that no definitive Bearer
Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered
Security; and provided further that a definitive Bearer Security shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance
with the conditions set forth in Section 303. Until so exchanged, the
temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to
the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series.

     B. Unless otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301, this
Section 304(B) shall govern the exchange of temporary Securities issued
in global form other than through the facilities of DTC. If any such
temporary Security is issued in global form, then such temporary global
Security shall, unless otherwise provided therein, be delivered to the
London office of a depositary or common depositary (the “Common
Depositary”), for the benefit of Euroclear and CEDEL.

23

 

     Without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the date
specified in, or determined pursuant to the terms of, any such temporary
global Security (the “Exchange Date”), the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee definitive Securities, in an aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such temporary global Security, executed by the
Company. On or after the Exchange Date, such temporary global Security
shall be surrendered by the Common Depositary to the Trustee, as the
Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or from time
to time in part, for definitive Securities without charge, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for each portion of
such temporary global Security, an equal aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of or within the same series of authorized
denominations and of like tenor as the portion of such temporary global
Security to be exchanged. The definitive Securities to be delivered in
exchange for any such temporary global Security shall be in bearer form,
registered form, permanent global bearer form or permanent global
registered form, or any combination thereof, as specified as contemplated
by Section 301, and, if any combination thereof is so specified, as
requested by the beneficial owner thereof; provided, however, that,
unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, upon such
presentation by the Common Depositary, such temporary global Security is
accompanied by a certificate dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date
and signed by Euroclear as to the portion of such temporary global
Security held for its account then to be exchanged and a certificate
dated the Exchange Date or a subsequent date and signed by CEDEL as to
the portion of such temporary global Security held for its account then
to be exchanged, each in the form set forth in Exhibit A-2 to this
Indenture or in such other form as may be established pursuant to Section
301; and provided further that definitive Bearer Securities shall be
delivered in exchange for a portion of a temporary global Security only
in compliance with the requirements of Section 303.

     Unless otherwise specified in such temporary global Security, the
interest of a beneficial owner of Securities of a series in a temporary
global Security shall be exchanged for definitive Securities of the same
series and of like tenor following the Exchange Date when the account
holder instructs Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case may be, to request such
exchange on his behalf and delivers to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the case
may be, a certificate in the form set forth in Exhibit A-1 to this
Indenture (or in such other form as may be established pursuant to
Section 301), dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the Exchange Date,
copies of which certificate shall be available from the offices of
Euroclear and CEDEL, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent appointed for
such series of Securities and each Paying Agent. Unless otherwise
specified in such temporary global Security, any such exchange shall be
made free of charge to the beneficial owners of such temporary global
Security, except that a Person receiving definitive Securities must bear
the cost of insurance, postage, transportation and the like unless such
Person takes delivery of such definitive Securities in person at the
offices of Euroclear or CEDEL. Definitive Securities in bearer form to be
delivered in exchange for any portion of a temporary global Security
shall be delivered only outside the United States.

     Until exchanged in full as hereinabove provided, the temporary
Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of the same series
and of like tenor authenticated and delivered

24

 

hereunder, except that, unless otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301, interest payable on a temporary global Security on an
Interest Payment Date for Securities of such series occurring prior to
the applicable Exchange Date shall be payable to Euroclear and CEDEL on
such Interest Payment Date upon delivery by Euroclear and CEDEL to the
Trustee of a certificate or certificates in the form set forth in Exhibit
A-2 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may be established
pursuant to Section 301), for credit without further interest on or after
such Interest Payment Date to the respective accounts of Persons who are
the beneficial owners of such temporary global Security on such Interest
Payment Date and who have each delivered to Euroclear or CEDEL, as the
case may be, a certificate dated no earlier than 15 days prior to the
Interest Payment Date occurring prior to such Exchange Date in the form
set forth as Exhibit A-1 to this Indenture (or in such other forms as may
be established pursuant to Section 301). Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, the certifications made pursuant to this
paragraph shall satisfy the certification requirements of the preceding
two paragraphs of this Section 304(B) and of the third paragraph of
Section 303 of this Indenture and the interests of the Persons who are
the beneficial owners of the temporary global Security with respect to
which such certification was made will be exchanged for definitive
Securities of the same series and of like tenor on the Exchange Date or
the date of certification if such date occurs after the Exchange Date,
without further act or deed by such beneficial owners. Except as
otherwise provided in this paragraph, no payments of principal or
interest owing with respect to a beneficial interest in a temporary
global Security will be made unless and until such interest in such
temporary global Security shall have been exchanged for an interest in a
definitive Security. Any interest so received by Euroclear and CEDEL and
not paid as herein provided shall be returned to the Trustee prior to the
expiration of two years after such Interest Payment Date in order to be
repaid to the Company.

     SECTION 305. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     The Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee or in any office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment a
register for each series of Securities (the registers maintained in such office
or in any such office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being
herein sometimes referred to collectively as the “Security Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall
provide for the registration of Registered Securities and of transfers of
Registered Securities. The Security Register shall be in written form or any
other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable
time. The Trustee, at its Corporate Trust Office, is hereby initially appointed
“Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and
transfers of Registered Securities on such Security Register as herein
provided. In the event that the Trustee shall cease to be Security Registrar,
it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable
times.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities
of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal

25

 

amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, and containing
identical terms and provisions.

     Subject to the provisions of this Section 305, at the option of the
Holder, Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Registered Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination or
denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, containing identical
terms and provisions, upon surrender of the Registered Securities to be
exchanged at any such office or agency. Whenever any such Registered Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Registered Securities which the Holder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Unless otherwise specified with
respect to any series of Securities as contemplated by Section 301, Bearer
Securities may not be issued in exchange for Registered Securities.

     If (but only if) permitted as contemplated by Section 301, at the option
of the Holder, Bearer Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered
Securities of the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like
aggregate principal amount and tenor, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities
to be exchanged at any such office or agency, with all unmatured coupons and
all matured coupons in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer
Security is unable to produce any such unmatured coupon or coupons or matured
coupon or coupons in default, any such permitted exchange may be effected if
the Bearer Securities are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the
Company in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing coupon or
coupons, or the surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by
the Company and the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or
indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent
harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing coupon in respect of which such a payment shall
have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such
payment; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002,
interest represented by coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of those coupons at an office or agency located outside the United
States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series
is surrendered at any such office or agency in a permitted exchange for a
Registered Security of the same series and like tenor after the close of
business at such office or agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business at
such office or agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted
Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the coupon relating
to such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be,
and interest or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on
such Interest Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture. Whenever any Securities are so
surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, the Securities which the holder making the exchange
is entitled to receive.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301, any permanent global Security shall be
exchangeable only as provided in this paragraph. If the depositary for any
permanent global Security is DTC, then, unless the terms of

26

 

such global Security expressly permit such global Security to be exchanged in whole or
in part for definitive Securities, a global Security may be transferred, in
whole but not in part, only to a nominee of DTC, or by a nominee of DTC to DTC,
or to a successor to DTC for such global Security selected and approved by the
Company or to a nominee of such successor to DTC. If at any time DTC notifies
the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the
applicable global Security or Securities or if at any time DTC ceases to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act if so required by applicable
law or regulation, the Company shall appoint a successor depositary with
respect to such global Security or Securities. If (x) a successor depositary
for such global Security or Securities is not appointed by the Company within
90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
unwillingness, inability or ineligibility, (y) an Event of Default has occurred
and is continuing and the beneficial owners representing a majority in
principal amount of the applicable series of Securities represented by such
global Security or Securities advise DTC to cease acting as depositary for such
global Security or Securities or (z) the Company, in its sole discretion,
determines at any time that all Outstanding Securities (but not less than all)
Securities of any series issued or issuable in the form of one or more global
Securities shall no longer be represented by such global Security or Securities
(provided, however, the Company may not make such determination during the
40-day restricted period provided by Regulation S under the Securities Act or
during any other similar period during which the Securities must be held in
global form as may be required by the Securities Act), then the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities
of like series, rank, tenor and terms in definitive form in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security or
Securities. If any beneficial owner of an interest in a permanent global
Security is otherwise entitled to exchange such interest for Securities of such
series and of like tenor and principal amount of another authorized form and
denomination, as specified as contemplated by Section 301 and provided that any
applicable notice provided in the permanent global Security shall have been
given, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not later than the
earliest date on which such interest may be so exchanged, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver definitive Securities
in aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such beneficial
owner’s interest in such permanent global Security. On or after the earliest
date on which such interests may be so exchanged, such permanent global
Security shall be surrendered for exchange by DTC or such other depositary as
shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as
the Company’s agent for such purpose; provided, however, that no such exchanges
may occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before
any selection of Securities to be redeemed and ending on the relevant
Redemption Date if the Security for which exchange is requested may be among
those selected for redemption; and provided further that no Bearer Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent global Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. If a
Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a permanent global
Security after the close of business at the office or agency where such
exchange occurs on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or
(ii) any Special Record Date and the opening of business at such office or
agency on the related proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, interest
or Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, will not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of
such Registered Security, but will be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be,

27

 

only to the Person to whom interest in respect of such portion of such
permanent global Security is payable in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

     All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

     Every Registered Security presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or for exchange or redemption shall (if so required by the Company or
the Security Registrar) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Security Registrar, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

     No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906, 1107 or 1305 not involving any
transfer.

     The Company or the Trustee, as applicable, shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security if such Security may
be among those selected for redemption during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before selection of the Securities to be redeemed under
Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on (A) if such Securities are
issuable only as Registered Securities, the day of the mailing of the relevant
notice of redemption and (B) if such Securities are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the day of the first publication of the relevant notice of
redemption or, if such Securities are also issuable as Registered Securities
and there is no publication, the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption,
or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any
Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption
except that such a Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security
of that series and like tenor; provided that such Registered Security shall be
simultaneously surrendered for redemption, or (iv) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security which has been surrendered for repayment
at the option of the Holder, except the portion, if any, of such Security not
to be so repaid.

     SECTION 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     If any mutilated Security or a Security with a mutilated coupon
appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee or the Company, together with,
in proper cases, such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company
or the Trustee to save each of them or any agent of either of them harmless,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and principal amount,
containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to the surrendered Security.

28

 

     If there shall be delivered to the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security or
coupon, and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of
actual notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or coupon has
been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its
request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for the Security to which a
destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains (with all appurtenant coupons not
destroyed, lost or stolen), a new Security of the same series and principal
amount, containing identical terms and provisions and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if
any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security
to which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of the previous two paragraphs, in case any
such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or coupon has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a new Security, with coupons corresponding to the coupons, if any,
appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to the Security to
which such destroyed, lost or stolen coupon appertains, pay such Security or
coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any), any interest on and any Additional Amounts with
respect to, Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise provided in Section
1002, be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, any interest on
Bearer Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
coupons appertaining thereto.

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

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

     SECTION 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, interest on any Registered
Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose

29

 

name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for such purpose pursuant to Section
1002; provided, however, that each installment of interest on any Registered
Security may at the Company’s option be paid by (i) mailing a check for such
interest, payable to or upon the written order of the Person entitled thereto
pursuant to Section 308, to the address of such Person as it appears on the
Security Register or (ii) transfer to an account maintained by the payee
located inside the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of any series, payment of interest may be made, in the case of a
Bearer Security, by transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank
located outside the United States.

     Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, every permanent
global Security will provide that interest, if any, payable on any Interest
Payment Date will be paid to DTC, Euroclear and/or CEDEL, as the case may be,
with respect to that portion of such permanent global Security held for its
account by Cede & Co. or the Common Depositary, as the case may be, for the
purpose of permitting such party to credit the interest received by it in
respect of such permanent global Security to the accounts of the beneficial
owners thereof.

     In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security of such series after the close of business (at an office or
agency in a Place of Payment for such series) on any Regular Record Date and
before the opening of business (at such office or agency) on the next
succeeding Interest Payment Date, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not
be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security
issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but will be payable only to the
Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

     Except as otherwise specified with respect to a series of Securities in
accordance with the provisions of Section 301, any interest on any Registered
Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”)
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder thereof on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in clause (A) or (B) below:

     A. The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest
to the Persons in whose names the Registered Securities of such series
(or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close
of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each Registered Security of such series and the
date of the proposed payment (which shall not be less than 20 days after
such notice is received by the Trustee), and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in
which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series)
equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such
Defaulted Interest or shall make

30

 

arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit on or
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to
be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such
Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee
shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days
prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date
and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of
the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder
of Registered Securities of such series at his address as it appears in
the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record
Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense
of the Company, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in
an Authorized Newspaper in each place of payment, but such publications
shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Registered Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special
Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following
clause (B). In case a Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at the
office or agency in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a
Registered Security of such series after the close of business at such
office or agency on any Special Record Date and before the opening of
business at such office or agency on the related proposed date for
payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be surrendered
without the coupon relating to such proposed date of payment and
Defaulted Interest will not be payable on such proposed date of payment
in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer
Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such coupon when due
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

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

     Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section and Section 305, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to
interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

     SECTION 308. Persons Deemed Owners.

     Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Registered Security is registered as
the owner of such Security for the purpose

31

 

of receiving payment of principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any), and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, such Registered
Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Registered
Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

     Title to any Bearer Security and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
pass by delivery. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Holder of any Bearer Security and the Holder of any
coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or coupon for the purpose of
receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Security or coupon be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the Security
Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the
records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership
interests of a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any global Security,
nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee, from giving effect to any written certification, proxy
or other authorization furnished by any depositary, as a Holder, with respect
to such global Security or impair, as between such depositary and owners of
beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of such depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of such global Security.

     SECTION 309. Cancellation.

     All Securities and coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, repayment
at the option of the Holder, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and coupons
and Securities and coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such
purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery
to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so
delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. If the Company shall so
acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation. No
Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities
cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this
Indenture. Cancelled Securities and coupons held by the Trustee shall be
destroyed by the Trustee and the Trustee shall deliver a certificate of such
destruction to the Company, unless by a Company Order the Company directs their
return to it.

     SECTION 310. Computation of Interest.

32

 

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be
computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, and any Additional Amounts with
respect thereto, to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable) or the Stated Maturity or Redemption

(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any), and any interest and Additional Amounts for whose
payment such money has been deposited with or received by the Trustee, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

     SECTION 502. 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, then and in every such case the
Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal (or, if any
Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed Securities, such
portion of the principal as may be specified in the terms thereof) of, and the
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on, all 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 the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or
specified portion thereof shall become immediately due and payable.

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

     A. The Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay in the currency, currency unit or composite currency in
which the Securities of such series is payable (except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series):

          1. all overdue installments of interest on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of all Outstanding Securities of that series
and any related coupons;

          2. the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on)
any Outstanding Securities of that series which have become due otherwise
than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate
or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities;

          3. to the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest
upon overdue installments of interest and any Additional Amounts at the
rate or rates borne by or provided for in such Securities; and

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

     B. all Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series,
other than the nonpayment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on Securities of that series which have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 513.

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

     SECTION 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
Trustee.

36

 

     The Company covenants that if:

     A. default is made in the payment of any installment of interest or
Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security of any series and any related
coupon when such interest or Additional Amount becomes due and payable
and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

     B. default is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) any Security of any series at its
Maturity,

then the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities of such series and coupons, the whole
amount then due and payable on such Securities and coupons for principal (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, with
interest upon any overdue principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
upon any overdue installments of interest or Additional Amounts, if any, at the
rate or rates borne by or provided for 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, and may
prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Company or any other obligor upon such Securities of such series
and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided
by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon such
Securities of such series, wherever situated.

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

     SECTION 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

     In case of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation,
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other
judicial 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
of any series shall then be 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, premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, 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, or such lesser
amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series, of
principal (and premium or Make-

37

 

Whole Amount, if any) and interest and Additional Amounts, if any,
owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such 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 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 of Securities of such series and coupons 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 and any predecessor Trustee, their agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee or any predecessor Trustee under Section 606.

     Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a
Security or coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Securities or coupons or the rights of any Holder
thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Holder of a Security or coupon in any such proceeding.

     SECTION 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities
or Coupons.

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

     SECTION 506. Application of Money Collected.

     Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be
applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal (or premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest and any Additional Amounts, upon
presentation of the Securities or coupons, or both, as the case may be, and the
notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender
thereof if fully paid:

     FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor
Trustee under Section 606,

38

 

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

     THIRD: To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company.

     SECTION 507. Limitation on Suits.

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

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

     B. the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default
in its own name as Trustee hereunder;

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

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

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

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

     SECTION 508. Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
or Make-Whole Amount, if any, Interest and Additional Amounts.

     Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any
Security or coupon shall have the right which is absolute and unconditional to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any)
and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on, and any Additional Amounts
in respect of, such Security or payment of such coupon on the respective due
dates expressed in such Security or coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on
the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

39

 

     SECTION 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

     SECTION 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

     Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or coupons in the last
paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or coupons is intended to be
exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right
and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

     SECTION 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

     No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or
coupon 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 front time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Holders of Securities or coupons, as the case may be.

     SECTION 512. Control by Holders of Securities.

     The Holders of not less than 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 Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction, and

     C. the Trustee need not take any action which might involve it in
personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of Securities
of such series not joining therein (but the Trustee shall have no
obligation as to the determination of such undue prejudice).

40

 

     SECTION 513. 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 and any related coupons waive any past default
hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a default

     A. in the payment of the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on or Additional Amounts payable in respect
of any Security of such series or any related coupons, or

     B. in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article
Nine 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 Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 514. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

     SECTION 515. 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
or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of
any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees,
against any party litigant in such suit having due regard to the merits and
good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in
the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities,
or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of
the principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or
Additional Amounts payable with respect to any Security on or after the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

     Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect
to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit in the manner and
to the extent provided in TIA Section 313(c), notice of such default hereunder
known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or waived;
provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security of such series, or in the
payment of any sinking fund installment with respect to the Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so
long as Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities
and coupons of such series; and provided further that in the case of any
default or breach of the character specified in Section 501(D) with respect to
the Securities and coupons of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be
given until at least 60 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of

lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series.

     SECTION 602. Certain Rights of Trustee.

     Subject to the provisions of TIA Section 315(a) through 315(d):

parties;

     C. any request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be

which shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any
resolution of the Board of Trustees may be sufficiently evidenced by a
Board Resolution;

other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of
bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’ Certificate;

     E. the Trustee may consult with counsel and as a condition to the
taking, suffering or omission of any action hereunder may demand an

suffered or omitted by it hereunder 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 of any series or any
related coupons pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in
compliance with such request or direction;

     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, coupon or other paper or document, but the
Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the
Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it
shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the
Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

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

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

     The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have
reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

     SECTION 603. Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

     The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, and in any coupons shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent
assumes any responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no
representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the
Securities or coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly
authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities
and perform its obligations hereunder. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 604. May Hold Securities.

     The Trustee, any Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or
any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and coupons and, subject to TIA
Sections 310(b) and 311, may otherwise deal with

43

 

the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar, Authenticating Agent or such other agent.

     SECTION 605. Money Held in Trust.

     Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on, or investment of, any money received by it
hereunder.

     SECTION 606. Compensation and Reimbursement.

     The Company agrees:

     A. to pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation
for all services rendered by it hereunder, including extraordinary
services rendered in connection with or during the continuation of a
default hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust);

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

     C. to indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense, arising
out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts or the performance of its duties hereunder, including the
costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder except to the extent any such loss, liability or expense
may be attributable to its own negligence or bad faith.

     As security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under
this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held
in trust for the payment of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest on particular Securities or any coupons.

     The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture.

     SECTION 607. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility; Conflicting
Interests.

     There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be eligible to
act as Trustee under TIA Section 310(a)(1) and shall have a combined capital
and surplus of at least $25,000,000. If such corporation publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of Federal,
State, Territorial or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of

44

 

such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article.

     SECTION 608. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

     A. No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until
the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with
the applicable requirements of Section 609.

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

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

     D. If at any time:

          1. the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of TIA
Section 310(b) after written request therefor by the Company or by any
Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six months, or

          2. the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and
shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security
for at least six months, or

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

then, in any such case, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board
Resolution may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, or (ii) subject to TIA Section 315(e), any
Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of
the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.

     E. If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company,
by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those

45

 

series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such
series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any particular series). If, within one year after
such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such
vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed
shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to
that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If
no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall
have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities and
accepted appointment in the manner hereinafter provided, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for
at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to Securities of such
series.

     F. The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and
each appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any series in the manner provided for notices to the Holders of
Securities in Section 106. Each notice shall include the name of the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the
address of its Corporate Trust Office.

     SECTION 609. Acceptance of Appointment By Successor.

     A. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested
with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee;
but, on request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers
and trusts of the retiring Trustee, and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its claim, if any,
provided for in Section 606.

     B. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the
Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to
the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an
indenture supplemental hereto, pursuant to Article Nine hereof, wherein
each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer
and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring
with respect to all

46

 

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

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

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

     SECTION 610. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

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

     SECTION 611. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

47

 

     At any time when any of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Trustee may
appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption or repayment thereof, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder. Any such appointment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing
signed by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, a copy of which instrument
shall be promptly furnished to the Company. Wherever reference is made in this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or
the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to
include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and, except as may otherwise be provided pursuant to
Section 301, shall at all times be a bank or trust company or corporation
organized and doing business and in good standing under the laws of the United
States of America or of any State or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus
of not less than $25,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authorities. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In case at any time an Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in this Section.

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

     An Authenticating Agent for any series of Securities may at any time
resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee for such series
and to the Company. The Trustee for any series of Securities may at any time
terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of
termination to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon receiving
such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time
such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee for such series may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment to all Holders of Securities of or within the series
with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve in the manner set
forth in Section 106. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent herein. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be
appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

48

 

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

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

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

	 	 	 	 	 	 
	 	 	
	 ,
	 	 	as Trustee	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 
	

	 	By:	 	 	 
	

	 	 	 	

	

	 	 	 	as Authenticating Agent	 
	 
	 	 	 	 	 
	

	 	By:

such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission may from time to

required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section
15(d) of the Exchange Act; or, if the Company is not required to file

after the filing thereof with the Trustee, in the manner and to the

30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such request, a list of
similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the

Trustee is the Security Registrar, no such list shall be required to be

ARTICLE EIGHT

     SECTION 801. Consolidations and Mergers of Company and Sales, Leases and
Conveyances Permitted Subject to Certain Conditions.

50

 

     The Company may consolidate with, or sell, lease or convey all or
substantially all of its assets to, or merge with or into any other Person,
provided that in any such case, (i) either the Company shall be the continuing
entity, or the successor (if other than the Company) entity shall be a Person
organized and existing under the laws of the United States or a State thereof
and such successor entity shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment
of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and any interest
(including all Additional Amounts, if any, payable pursuant to Section 1011) on
all of the Securities, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed by the Company by supplemental indenture, complying
with Article Nine hereof, satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered
to the Trustee by such Person and (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction and treating any indebtedness which becomes an obligation of the
Company or any Subsidiary as a result thereof as having been incurred by the
Company or such Subsidiary at the time of such transaction, no Event of
Default, and no event which, after notice or the lapse of time, or both, would
become an Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

     SECTION 802. Rights and Duties of Successor Corporation.

     In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance and
upon any such assumption by the successor entity, such successor entity shall
succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it
had been named herein as the party of the first part, and the predecessor
entity, except in the event of a lease, shall be relieved of any further
obligation under this Indenture and the Securities. Such successor entity
thereupon may cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in
the name of the Company, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which
theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and delivered to the
Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor entity, instead of the Company,
and subject to all the terms, conditions and limitations in this Indenture
prescribed, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities
which previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers of the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any Securities which such
successor entity thereafter shall cause to be signed and delivered to the
Trustee for that purpose. All the Securities so issued shall in all respects
have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities
theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of this Indenture
as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date of the execution
hereof.

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

available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right of the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of that or those
series of Securities to which such additional Events of Default apply to
waive such default; or

1403; provided in each case that any such action shall not adversely
affect the interests of the Holders of Securities of such series and any
related coupons or any other series of Securities in any material
respect.

     SECTION 902. Supplemental Indentures With Consent of Holders.

     With the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of all Outstanding Securities affected by such supplemental indenture,

into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding
any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Securities and any related coupons under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby:

     A. change the Stated Maturity of the principal of (or premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) or any installment of principal of or
interest on, any Security; or reduce the principal amount thereof or the

the principal of an Original Issue Discount Security or Make-Whole
Amount, if any, that would be due and payable upon a declaration of
acceleration of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the

53

 

amount thereof provable in bankruptcy pursuant to Section 504, or
adversely affect any right of repayment at the option of the Holder of
any Security, or change any Place of Payment where, or the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in
which, the principal of any Security or any premium or Make-Whole Amount
or any Additional Amounts payable in respect thereof or the interest
thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof
(or, in the case of redemption or repayment at the option of the Holder,
on or after the Redemption Date or the Repayment Date, as the case may
be); or

     B. reduce the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series, the consent of whose Holders is required for
any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of whose Holders is
required for any waiver with respect to such series (or compliance with
certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and
their consequences) provided for in this Indenture, or reduce the
requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or voting; or

     C. modify any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or
Section 1012, except to increase the required percentage to effect such
action or to provide that certain other provisions of this Indenture
cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each
Outstanding Security affected thereby.

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

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

     SECTION 903. Execution of Supplemental Indentures.

     In executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any
supplemental indenture permitted by this Article or the modification thereby of
the trusts created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and 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 and that all conditions precedent to the execution of such
supplemental indenture have been complied with. The Trustee may, but shall not
be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

     SECTION 904. Effect of Supplemental Indentures.

     Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture under this Article, this
Indenture shall be modified in accordance therewith, and such supplemental
indenture shall form a part of this

54

thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any coupon appertaining
thereto shall be bound thereby.

     Securities of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution
of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall, if
required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to
any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the
Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

     SECTION 907. Notice of Supplemental Indentures.

     Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of Section 902, the Company

ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS

     SECTION 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any,
Interest and Additional Amounts.

     The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Holders of each
series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of the Securities of that series in accordance with
the terms of such series of Securities, any coupons appertaining thereto and
this Indenture. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to any series of Securities, any interest due on and any Additional
Amounts payable in respect of Bearer Securities on or before Maturity, other
than Additional Amounts, if any, payable as provided in Section 1011 in respect
of principal of (or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, on) such a Security,
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several coupons
for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally
mature. Unless otherwise specified with respect to Securities of any series
pursuant to Section 301, at the option of the Company, all payments of
principal may be paid by check to the registered Holder of the Registered
Security or other person entitled thereto against surrender of such Security.

     SECTION 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency.

55

 

     If Securities of a series are issuable only as Registered Securities, the
Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an
office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented or
surrendered for payment or conversion, where Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and
this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer
Securities, the Company will maintain: (A) in the Borough of Manhattan, The
City of New York, an office or agency where any Registered Securities of that
series may be presented or surrendered for payment or conversion, where any
Registered Securities of that series may be surrendered for exchange, where
notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that
series and this Indenture may be served and where Bearer Securities of that
series and related coupons may be presented or surrendered for payment or
conversion in the circumstances described in the following paragraph (and not
otherwise); (B) subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, in a
Place of Payment for that series which is located outside the United States, an
office or agency where Securities of that series and related coupons may be
presented and surrendered for payment (including payment of any Additional
Amounts payable on Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1011) or
conversion; provided, however, that if the Securities of that series are listed
on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, The International Stock Exchange or any other
stock exchange located outside the United States and such stock exchange shall
so require, the Company will maintain a Paying Agent for the Securities of that
series in Luxembourg, London or any other required city located outside the
United States, as the case may be, so long as the Securities of that series are
listed in such exchange; and (C) subject to any laws or regulations applicable
thereto, in a Place of Payment for that series located outside the United
States an office or agency where any Securities of that series may be
surrendered for registration of transfer, where Securities of that series may
be surrendered for exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the
location, and any change in the location, of each such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of that
series and the related coupons may be presented and surrendered for payment
(including payment of any Additional Amounts payable on Bearer Securities of
that series pursuant to Section 1011) at the offices specified in the Security,
in London, England, and the Company hereby appoints the same as its agent to
receive such respective presentations, surrenders, notices and demands, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301, no payment of principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on
or Additional Amounts in respect of Bearer Securities shall be made at any
office or agency of the Company in the United States or by check mailed to any
address in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a
bank located in the United States; provided, however, that, if the Securities
of a series are payable in Dollars, payment of principal of and any premium and
interest on any Bearer Security (including any Additional Amounts or Make-Whole
Amount payable on Securities of such series pursuant to Section 1011) shall be
made at the office of the Company’s Paying Agent in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York, if (but only if) payment in

56

 

Dollars of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest,
Additional Amounts or Make-Whole Amount, as the case may be, at all offices or
agencies outside the United States maintained for the purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture, is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions.

     The Company may from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series and related coupons, if
any, may be presented or surrendered for any or all of such purposes, and may
from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such
designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its
obligation to maintain an office or agency in accordance with the requirements
set forth above for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or
rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or
agency. Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301 with respect to a series of Securities, the Company hereby
designates as Places of Payment for each series of Securities the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee and the office or agency of            at
          , The City of New York, initially appoints the Trustee as a
Paying Agent in 
           , and            as Paying Agent in
the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and appoints each as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Securities pursuant to
Section 301, if and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated
in a Foreign Currency or (ii) may be payable in a Foreign Currency, or so long
as it is required under any other provision of the Indenture, then the Company
will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so
required, at least one exchange rate agent.

     SECTION 1003. Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

     If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect
to any series of any Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before
each due date of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any),
or interest on or Additional Amounts in respect of, any of the Securities of
that series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are
payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the
Securities of such series) sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or Additional Amounts so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
so to act.

     Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series
of Securities and any related coupons, it will, on or before each due date of
the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any), or interest on or
Additional Amounts in respect of, any Securities of that series, deposit with a
Paying Agent a sum (in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or
composite currency or currencies described in the preceding paragraph)
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or
interest or Additional Amounts, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons

57

 

entitled to such principal, premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest or
Additional Amounts and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company
will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to execute
and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying
Agent will:

     A. hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of (and
premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest on Securities or
Additional Amounts in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided;

     B. give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities) in the making of any such payment of
principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) or interest or
Additional Amounts; and

     C. at any time during the continuance of any such default upon the
written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so
held in trust by such Paying Agent.

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

     Except as otherwise provided in the Securities of any series, any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security of
any series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal (and
premiums or Make-Whole Amount, if any), interest or Additional Amounts has
become due and payable shall be paid to the Company upon Company Request or (if
then held by the Company. shall be discharged from such trust; and the Holder
of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only
to the Company for payment of such principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any) or interest on, or any Additional Amounts in respect of, any
Security, without interest thereon, and all liability of the Trustee or such
Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the Company
as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Trustee
or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at
the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an Authorized
Newspaper, notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date
specified therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

58

 

     SECTION 1004. Existence.

     Subject to Article Eight, the Company will do or cause to be done all
things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect the existence,
rights (charter and statutory) and franchises of the Company and its
Subsidiaries; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to
preserve any right or franchise if the Board of Trustees shall determine that
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business
of the Company and its Subsidiaries as a whole and that the loss thereof is not
disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders of Securities of any
series.

     SECTION 1005. Statement as to Compliance.

     The Company will deliver to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year, a brief certificate from the principal executive officer,
principal financial officer or principal accounting officer as to his or her
knowledge of the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants under
this Indenture and, in the event of any noncompliance, specifying such
noncompliance and the nature and status thereof. For purposes of this Section
1010, such compliance shall be determined without regard to any period of grace
or requirement of notice under this Indenture.

     SECTION 1006. Additional Amounts.

     If any Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts, the Company will pay to the Holder of any Security of such series or
any coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as may be specified as
contemplated by Section 301. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context except in the case of Section 502(A), the payment of the principal
of or any premium, Make-Whole Amount or interest on, or in respect of, any
Security of any series or payment of any related coupon or the net proceeds
received on the sale or exchange of any Security of any series, such mention
shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts
provided by the terms of such series established pursuant to Section 301 to the
extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable
in respect thereof pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.

     Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, if the
Securities of a series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts, at least
10 days prior to the first Interest Payment Date with respect to that series of
Securities (or if the Securities of that series will not bear interest prior to
Maturity, the first day on which a payment of principal and any premium is
made), and at least 10 days prior to each date of payment of principal and any
premium or Make-Whole Amount or interest if there has been any change with
respect to the matters set forth in the below-mentioned Officers’ Certificate,
the Company will furnish the Trustee and the Company’s principal Paying Agent
or Paying Agents, if other than the Trustee, with an Officers’ Certificate
instructing the Trustee and such Paying Agent or Paying Agents whether such
payment of principal of and any premium or interest on the Securities of that
series shall be made to Holders of Securities of that series or any related
coupons who are not United States persons without

59

 

withholding for or on account of any tax, assessment or other governmental
charge described in the Securities of or within the series. If any such
withholding shall be required, then such Officers’ Certificate shall specify by
country the amount, if any, required to be withheld on such payments to such
Holders of Securities of that series or related coupons and the Company will
pay to the Trustee or such Paying Agent the Additional Amounts required by the
terms of such Securities. In the event that the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as
the case may be, shall not so receive the above- mentioned certificate, then
the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall be entitled (i) to assume that no such
withholding or deduction is required with respect to any payment of principal
or interest with respect to any Securities of a series or related coupons until
it shall have received a certificate advising otherwise and (ii) to make all
payments of principal and interest with respect to the Securities of a series
or related coupons without withholding or deductions until otherwise advised.
The Company covenants to indemnify the Trustee and any Paying Agent for, and to
hold them harmless against, any loss, liability or expense reasonably incurred
without negligence or bad faith on their part arising out of or in connection
with actions taken or omitted by any of them in reliance on any Officers’
Certificate furnished pursuant to this Section or in reliance on the Company’s
not furnishing such an Officers’ Certificate.

     SECTION 1007. Waiver of Certain Covenants.

     The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term,
provision or condition set forth in Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, and with
any other term, provision or condition with respect to the Securities of any
series specified in accordance with Section 301 (except any such term,
provision or condition which could not be amended without the consent of all
Holders of Securities of such series pursuant to Section 902), if before or
after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of all outstanding Securities of such series, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to
or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company
and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

     SECTION 1101. Applicability of Article.

     Securities of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity
shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series) in
accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

     The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of
the Company of less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, at least 45 days prior to the giving of the notice of redemption in
Section 1104 (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee),
notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of the principal amount of
Securities of such

60

 

series to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish
the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such
restriction.

     SECTION 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

     If less than all the Securities of any series issued on the same day with
the same terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed
shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the
Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series issued on such date
with the same terms not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for
Securities of that series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal
amount of Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum
authorized denomination for Securities of that series.

     The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar
(if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected for redemption
and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

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

     SECTION 1104. Notice of Redemption.

     Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106,
not less than 30 days nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date,
unless a shorter period is specified by the terms of such series established
pursuant to Section 301, to each Holder of Securities to be redeemed, but
failure to give such notice in the manner herein provided to the Holder of any
Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for
the redemption of any other such Security or portion thereof.

     Any notice that is mailed to the Holders of Registered Securities in the
manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given,
whether or not the Holder receives the notice.

     All notices of redemption shall state:

     A. the Redemption Date;

     B. the Redemption Price, accrued interest to the Redemption Date
payable as provided in Section 1106, if any, and Additional Amounts, if
any;

61

 

     C. if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be
redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the
principal amount) of the particular Security or Securities to be
redeemed;

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

     E. that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price and accrued
interest to the Redemption Date payable as provided in Section 1106, if
any, will become due and payable upon each such Security, or the portion
thereof, to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon shall
cease to accrue on and after said date;

     F. the Place or Places of Payment where such Securities, together in
the case of Bearer Securities with all coupons appertaining thereto, if
any, maturing after the Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, or for
conversion;

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

     H. that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer
Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for redemption must be
accompanied by all coupons maturing subsequent to the date fixed for
redemption or the amount of any such missing coupon or coupons will be
deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security or indemnity
satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee for such series and any Paying
Agent is furnished;

     I. if Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any
Registered Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such
Bearer Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject
to the redemption on this Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or
otherwise, the last date, as determined by the Company, on which such
exchanges may be made;

     J. the CUSIP number of such Security, if any, provided that neither
the Company nor the Trustee shall have any responsibility for any such
CUSIP number; and

     K. if applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert
Securities to be redeemed must satisfy the requirements for conversion
contained in such Securities, the then existing conversion price or rate
and the date and time when the option to convert shall expire.

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

     SECTION 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.

62

 

     On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, which it may not do in the case of a sinking fund payment under Article
Twelve, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of
money in the currency or currencies, currency unit or units or composite
currency or currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable
(except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of
such series) sufficient to pay on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price of,
and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued
interest on, all the Securities or portions thereof which are to be redeemed on
that date.

     SECTION 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

     Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to
be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the
Redemption Price therein specified in the currency or currencies, currency unit
or units or composite currency or currencies in which the Securities of such
series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 for
the Securities of such series) (together with accrued interest, if any, to the
Redemption Date), and from and after such date (unless the Company shall
default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such
Securities shall, if the same were interest-bearing, cease to bear interest and
the coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of
any such Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, together with
all coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date,
such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together
with accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only at an office or agency
located outside the United States (except as otherwise provided in Section
1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, only upon
presentation and surrender of coupons for such interest; and provided further
that except as otherwise provided with respect to Securities convertible into
Capital Stock, installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated
Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders
of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such
at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security
may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the
face amount of all such missing coupons, or the surrender of such missing
coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such
Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing
coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption
Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted;
provided, however, that interest represented by coupons shall be payable only
at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those coupons.

63

 

     If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender
thereof for redemption, the principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if
any) shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate
borne by the Security.

     SECTION 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

ARTICLE TWELVE

SINKING FUNDS

     SECTION 1201. Applicability of Article.

     The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for
the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.

     The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms
of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund
payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of such Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment.” If provided for by the terms of any Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any mandatory sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be
applied to the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the
terms of Securities of such series.

     SECTION 1202. Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

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

64

 

     SECTION 1203. Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking payment date for Securities of
any series, 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 in the currency or currencies,
currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which the
Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified pursuant
to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that
series pursuant to Section 1202, and the optional amount, if any, to be added
in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also
deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered and credited. If such
Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to
the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 1103 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 1104.
Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be
made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

     SECTION 1301. Applicability of Article.

     Repayment of Securities of any series before their Stated Maturity at the
option of Holders thereof shall be made in accordance with the terms of such
Securities, if any, and (except as otherwise specified by the terms of such
series established pursuant to Section 301) in accordance with this Article.

     SECTION 1302. Repayment of Securities.

     Securities of any series subject to repayment in whole or in part at the
option of the Holders thereof will, unless otherwise provided in the terms of
such Securities, be repaid at a price equal to the principal amount thereon,
together with interest, if any, thereof accrued to the Repayment Date specified
in or pursuant to the terms of such Securities. The Company covenants that on
or before the Repayment Date it will deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or
currencies, currency unit or units or composite currency or currencies in which
the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) sufficient to pay
the principal (or, if so provided by the terms of the Securities of any series,
a percentage of the principal) of, and (except if the Repayment Date shall be
an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the Securities or portions
thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid on such date.

65

 

     SECTION 1303. Exercise of Option.

     Securities of any series subject to repayment at the option of the Holders
thereof will contain an “Option to Elect Repayment” form on the reverse of such
Securities. In order for any Security to be repaid at the option of the Holder,
the Trustee must receive at the Place of Payment therefor specified in the
terms of such Security (or at such other place or places of which the Company
shall from time to time notify the Holders of such Securities) not earlier than
60 days nor later than 30 days prior to the Repayment Date (1) the Security so
providing for such repayment together with the “Option to Elect Repayment” form
on the reverse thereof duly completed by the Holder (or by the Holder’s
attorney duly authorized in writing) or (2) a telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or a letter from a member of a national securities exchange, or
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”), or a commercial
bank or trust company in the United States setting forth the name of the Holder
of the Security, the principal amount of the Security, the principal amount of
the Security to be repaid, the CUSIP number, if any, or a description of the
tenor and terms of the Security, a statement that the option to elect repayment
is being exercised thereby and a guarantee that the Security to be repaid,
together with the duly completed form entitled “Option to Elect Repayment” on
the reverse of the Security, will be received by the Trustee not later than the
fifth Business Day after the date of such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter; provided, however, that such telegram, telex, facsimile
transmission or letter shall only be effective if such Security and form duly
completed are received by the Trustee by such fifth Business Day. If less than
the entire principal amount of such Security is to be repaid in accordance with
the terms of such Security, the principal amount of such Security to be repaid,
in increments of the minimum denomination for Securities of such series, and
the denomination or denominations of the Security or Securities to be issued to
the Holder for the portion of the principal amount of such Security surrendered
that is not to be repaid, must be specified. The principal amount of any
Security providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof may not be
repaid in part if, following such repayment, the unpaid principal amount of
such Security would be less than the minimum authorized denomination of
Securities of or within the series of which such Security to be repaid is a
part. Except as otherwise may be provided by the terms of any Security
providing for repayment at the option of the Holder thereof, exercise of the
repayment option by the Holder shall be irrevocable unless waived by the
Company.

     SECTION 1304. When Securities Presented for Repayment Become Due and
Payable.

     If Securities of any series providing for repayment at the option of the
Holders thereof shall have been surrendered as provided in this Article and as
provided by or pursuant to the terms of such Securities, such Securities or the
portions thereof, as the case may be, to be repaid shall become due and payable
and shall be paid by the Company on the Repayment Date therein specified, and
on and after such Repayment Date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of such Securities on such Repayment Date) such Securities shall, if
the same were interest- bearing, cease to bear interest and the coupons for
such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be repaid, except to
the extent provided below, shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security
for repayment in accordance with such provisions, together with all coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Repayment Date, the principal
amount of such security so to be repaid shall be paid by the Company, together
with accrued

66

 

interest, if any, to the Repayment Date; provided, however, that coupons
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be payable
only at an office or agency located outside the United States (except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified pursuant to
Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of such coupons; and provided
further that, in the case of Registered Securities, installments of interest,
if any, whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Repayment Date shall be
payable (but without interest thereon, unless the Company shall default in the
payment thereof) to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor
Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record
Dates according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

     If any Bearer Security surrendered for repayment shall not be accompanied
by all appurtenant coupons maturing after the Repayment Date, such Security may
be paid after deducting from the amount payable therefor as provided in Section
1302 an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing coupons, or the
surrender of such missing coupon or coupons may be waived by the Company and
the Trustee if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they
may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter
the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent
any such missing coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made as
provided in the preceding sentence, such Holder shall be entitled to receive
the amount so deducted; provided, however, that interest represented by coupons
shall be payable only at an office or agency located outside the United States
(except as otherwise provided in Section 1002) and, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301, only upon presentation and surrender of those
coupons.

     If the principal amount of any Security surrendered for repayment shall
not be so repaid upon surrender thereof, such principal amount (together with
interest, if any, thereon accrued to such Repayment Date) shall, until paid,
bear interest from the Repayment Date at the rate of interest or Yield to
Maturity (in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities) set forth in such
Security.

     SECTION 1305. Securities Repaid in Part.

     Upon surrender of any Registered Security which is to be repaid in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
to the Holder of such Security, without service charge and at the expense of
the Company, a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denomination specified by the Holder, in an aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the portion of the principal of such
Security so surrendered which is not to be repaid.

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     SECTION 1401. Applicability of Article; Company’s Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     If, pursuant to Section 301, provision is made for either or both of (a)
defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1402 or (b)
covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under Section 1403
to be applicable to the Securities of any series, then the

67

 

provisions of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with
the other provisions of this Article (with such modifications thereto as may be
specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall be
applicable to such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, and the
Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to
such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, elect to defease such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto pursuant to Section
1402 (if applicable) or Section 1403 (if applicable) upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article.

     SECTION 1402. Defeasance and Discharge.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section
with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be
deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”).
For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 1405
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B)
below, and to have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee,
at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
the same), except for the following which shall survive until otherwise
terminated or discharged hereunder: (A) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely
from the trust fund described in Section 1404 and as more fully set forth in
such Section, payments in respect of the principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (B) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and
1003 and with respect to the payment of Additional Amounts, if any, on such
Securities as contemplated by Section 1011, (C) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article. Subject to
compliance with this Article Fourteen, the Company may exercise its option
under this Section notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under
Section 1403 with respect to such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto.

     SECTION 1403. Covenant Defeasance.

     Upon the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section
with respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be
released from its obligations under Sections 1004 to 1009, inclusive, and, if
specified pursuant to Section 301, its obligations under any other covenant,
with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are
satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be 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 Sections 1004
to 1009, inclusive, or such other covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant
defeasance means that, with respect to such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto,

68

 

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 Section or such
other covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of
reference in any such Section or such other 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 501(D) or 501(I) or
otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the remainder of
this Indenture and such Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto shall
be unaffected thereby.

     SECTION 1404. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     The following shall be the conditions to application of Section 1402 or
Section 1403 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any
coupons appertaining thereto:

     A. The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the
requirements of Section 607 who shall agree to comply with the provisions
of this Article Fourteen applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for
the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as
security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of the Holders of such
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto, (1) an amount in such
currency, currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated
Maturity, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such Securities and
coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the currency,
currencies or currency unit in which such Securities and coupons
appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity)
which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect
thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment of principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Securities and
any coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a
combination thereof in an amount, sufficient, without consideration of
any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and
discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the principal of (and premium or
Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest, if any, on such Outstanding
Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of
such principal or installment of principal or interest and (ii) any
mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments applicable to such
Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining thereto on the day on
which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and of such Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto; provided, that the Trustee shall have been irrevocably
instructed to apply such money or the proceeds of such Government
Obligations to said payments with respect to such Securities. Before such
a deposit, the Company may give to the Trustee, in accordance with
Section 1102 hereof, a notice of its election to redeem all or any
portion of such Outstanding Securities at a future date in accordance
with the terms of the Securities of such series and Article Eleven
hereof, which notice shall be irrevocable. Such irrevocable redemption
notice, if given, shall be given effect in applying the foregoing.

69

 

     B. Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or
any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a
party or by which it is bound (and shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest pursuant to Section 310(b) of the TIA with respect
to any Security of the Company).

     C. No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time
or both would become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 501(7) and
501(8) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such
period).

     D. In the case of an election under Section 1402, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating 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
shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any
coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for
Federal income tax purposes as a result of such 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 defeasance had not
occurred.

     E. In the case of an election under Section 1403, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any coupons appertaining
thereto will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of such 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 covenant defeasance had
not occurred.

     F. The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the defeasance under Section 1402 or the covenant defeasance
under Section 1403 (as the case may be) have been complied with and an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that either (i) as a result of a deposit
pursuant to subsection (A) above and the related exercise of the
Company’s option under Section 1402 or Section 1403 (as the case may be)
registration is not required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended, by the Company, with respect to the trust funds representing
such deposit or by the Trustee for such trust funds or (ii) all necessary
registrations under said Act have been effected.

     G. After the 91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will
not be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally.

     H. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section, such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in compliance with
any additional or substitute

70

 

     terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company
in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

     SECTION 1405. Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in
Trust; Other Miscellaneous Provisions.

     Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money
and Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to
Section 301) (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or
other qualifying trustee, collectively for purposes of this Section 1405, the
“Trustee”) pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Outstanding Securities of
any series and any coupons appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and
applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities
and any coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon
in respect of principal (and premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any) and interest
and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

     Unless otherwise specified with respect to any Security pursuant to
Section 301, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 1404(A) has been made,
(a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is
entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such
Security to receive payment in a currency or currency unit other than that in
which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(A) has been made in respect of such
Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in respect of the currency or
currency unit in which the deposit pursuant to Section 1404(A) has been made,
the indebtedness represented by such Security and any coupons appertaining
thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully discharged and
satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any), and interest, if any, on such Security as the same becomes due
out of the proceeds yielded by converting (from time to time as specified below
in the case of any such election) the amount or other property deposited in
respect of such Security into the currency or currency unit in which such
Security becomes payable as a result of such election or Conversion Event based
on the applicable market exchange rate for such currency or currency unit in
effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, except, with
respect to a Conversion Event, for such currency or currency unit in effect (as
nearly as feasible) at the time of the Conversion Event.

     The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or
other charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations
deposited pursuant to Section 1404 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 such Outstanding Securities and any coupons
appertaining thereto.

     Anything in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee
shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any
money or Government Obligations (or other property and any proceeds therefrom)
held by it as provided in Section 1404 which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount

71

 

thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this
Article.

ARTICLE FIFTEEN

detail the action proposed to be taken at the meeting, and the Trustee

that vote in favor of such request, demand, authorization, direction,

73

 

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action

to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the submission and
examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the right to
vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as it
shall deem appropriate. Except as otherwise permitted or required by any
such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved
in the manner specified in Section 104 or by having the signature of the
Person executing the proxy witnessed or guaranteed by any trust company,
bank or banker authorized by Section 104 to certify to the holding of
Bearer Securities. Such regulations may provide that written instruments
appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed valid and
genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other proof.

     B. The Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a
temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting shall have been
called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided in Section
1502(B), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities of or
within the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like
manner appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent
secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled
to vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series represented at the meeting.

     C. At any meeting each Holder of a Security of such series or proxy
shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000 principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by him;
provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at any meeting
in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled by the
chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. The chairman of the
meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of
such series or proxy.

     D. Any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly called
pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is present may be adjourned
from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the
meeting, and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without further
notice.

     SECTION 1506. Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

     The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which shall be
subscribed the signatures of the Holders of

74

 

Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and the
principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such
series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall
appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting
for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of
the meeting their verified written reports in duplicate of all votes cast at
the meeting. A record, at least in duplicate, of the proceedings of each
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the
original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat
and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the fact, setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was
given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504. Each copy
shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and
secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company
and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have
attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so signed and
verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

     SECTION 1507. Evidence of Action Taken by Holders.

     Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by a specified
percentage in principal amount of the Holders of any or all series may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such specified percentage of Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and
(subject to Article Six) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if
made in the manner provided in this Article.

     SECTION 1508. Proof of Execution of Instruments.

     Subject to Article Six, the execution of any instrument by a Holder or his
agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee.

ARTICLE SIXTEEN

SUBORDINATION

     SECTION 1601. Agreement to Subordinate.

     The Company agrees, and each Holder by accepting a Security agrees, that
the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities is subordinated in right of
payment, to the extent and in the manner provided in this Article, to the prior
payment in full of all Senior Debt and that the subordination is for the
benefit of the holders of Senior Debt.

     SECTION 1602. Liquidation; Dissolution; Bankruptcy.

75

 

     Upon any distribution to creditors of the Company in a liquidation or
dissolution of the Company or in a bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency,
receivership or similar proceeding relating to the Company or its property:

     A. holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive payment in
full in cash of the principal of and interest (including interest
accruing after the commencement of any such proceeding) to the date of
payment on the Senior Debt before Holders shall be entitled to receive
any payment of principal of or interest on Securities;

     B. until the Senior Debt is paid in full in cash, any distribution
to which Holders would be entitled but for this Article shall be made to
holders of Senior Debt as their interests may appear, except that Holders
may receive securities that are subordinated to Senior Debt to at least
the same extent as the Securities; and

     C. the Trustee is entitled to rely upon an order or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction or a certificate of a bankruptcy trustee
or other similar official for the purpose of ascertaining the persons
entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior Debt
and other Company debt, the amount thereof or payable thereon and all
other pertinent facts relating to the Trustee’s obligations under this
Article Sixteen.

     SECTION 1603. Default on Senior Debt.

     The Company may not pay principal of or interest on the Securities and may
not acquire any Securities for cash or property other than capital stock of the
Company if:

     A. a default on Senior Debt occurs and is continuing that permits
holders of such Senior Debt to accelerate its maturity, and

     B. the default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company
receives a notice of the default from a person who may give it pursuant
to Section 1611. If the Company receives any such notice, a similar
notice received within nine months thereafter relating to the same
default on the same issue of Senior Debt shall not be effective for
purposes of this Section.

The Company may resume payments on the Securities and may acquire them
when:

     C. the default is cured or waived, or

     D. 120 days pass after the notice is given if the default is not the
subject of judicial proceedings,

     if this Article otherwise permits the payment or acquisition at that time.

     SECTION 1604. Acceleration of Securities.

     If payment of the Securities is accelerated because of an Event of
Default, the Company shall promptly notify holders of Senior Debt of the
acceleration. The Company may pay the

76

 

Securities when 120 days pass after the acceleration occurs if this
Article permits the payment at that time.

     SECTION 1605. When Distribution Must Be Paid Over.

     If a distribution is made to Holders that because of this Article should
not have been made to them, the Holders who receive the distribution shall hold
it in trust for holders of Senior Debt and pay it over to them as their
interests may appear.

     SECTION 1606. Notice by the Company

     The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee and any Paying Agent of any
facts known to the Company that would cause a payment of principal of or
interest on Securities to violate this Article.

     SECTION 1607. Subrogation.

     After all Senior Debt is paid in full and until the Securities are paid in
full, Holders shall be subrogated to the rights of holders of Senior Debt to
receive distributions applicable to Senior Debt to the extent that
distributions otherwise payable to the Holders have been applied to the payment
of Senior Debt. A distribution made under this Article to holders of Senior
Debt which otherwise would have been made to Holders is not, as between the
Company and Holders, a payment by the Company on Senior Debt.

     SECTION 1608. Relative Rights.

     This Article defines the relative rights of Holders and holders of Senior
Debt. Nothing in this Indenture shall:

     A. impair, as between the Company and Holders, the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay principal of and
interest on the Securities in accordance with their terms;

     B. affect the relative rights of Holders and creditors of the
Company other than holders of Senior Debt; or

     C. prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising its available
remedies upon an Event of Default, subject to the rights of holders of
Senior Debt to receive distributions otherwise payable to Holders.

     If the Company fails because of this Article to pay principal of or
interest on a Security on the due date, the failure is still a default.

     SECTION 1609. Subordination May Not Be Impaired by the Company

     No right of any holder of Senior Debt to enforce the subordination of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities shall be impaired by any act or
failure to act by the Company or by its failure to comply with this Indenture.

77

 

     SECTION 1610. Distribution or Notice to Representative.

     Whenever a distribution is to be made or a notice given to holders of
Senior Debt, the distribution may be made and the notice given to their
Representative.

     SECTION 1611. Rights of Trustee and Paying Agent.

     The Trustee or any Paying Agent may continue to make payments on the
Securities until it receives written notice of facts that would cause a payment
of principal of or interest on the Securities to violate this Article. Only the
Company, a Representative or a holder of an issue of Senior Debt that has no
Representative may give the written notice.

     The Trustee has no fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Debt other than
as created under this Indenture. The Trustee in its individual or any other
capacity may hold Senior Debt with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee.

     The Company’s obligation to pay, and the Company’s payment of, the
Trustee’s fees pursuant to Section 606 are excluded from the operation of this
Article Sixteen.

     This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same Indenture.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be
duly executed by their respective officers hereunto duly authorized, all as of
the day and year first above written.
