                                                     AS APPROVED BY THE BOARD OF
                                                       DIRECTORS ON MAY 12, 2004

                      CHARLES RIVER ASSOCIATES INCORPORATED

                 2004 NONQUALIFIED INDUCEMENT STOCK OPTION PLAN

SECTION 1. PURPOSE

     The purpose of this 2004 Nonqualified Inducement Stock Option Plan (the
"Plan") is to promote the interests of Charles River Associates Incorporated
(the "Company"), by affording certain persons the opportunity to acquire a
proprietary interest in the Company. The Company intends that the Plan be
reserved for persons to whom the Company may issue securities without
stockholder approval as an inducement pursuant to Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) of the
Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. It is anticipated that
providing such persons with a direct stake in the Company's welfare will assure
a closer identification of their interests with those of the Company and its
shareholders, thereby stimulating their efforts on the Company's behalf and
strengthening their desire to remain with the Company. The Company intends that
this purpose will be effected by the granting of non-statutory stock options
("Inducement Options") under the Plan. In addition, this Plan provides the Plan
Administrator the sole authority to establish the terms and conditions for the
exercise of any Inducement Option, including, but not limited to,
non-competition, non-solicitation and non-hire provisions. As used in the Plan
the terms "parent" and "subsidiary" shall have the respective meanings set forth
in Section 424 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

SECTION 2. ADMINISTRATION

     2.1 THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR. The Plan shall be administered by the Plan
Administrator (the "Plan Administrator"), which shall be the Compensation
Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") unless
otherwise determined by the Board, in which case the Plan Administrator shall be
the entire Board unless the Board shall appoint another committee to be the Plan
Administrator. It is the intention of the Company that the Plan, if not
administered by the Board, shall be administered by a committee of the Board
composed solely of two or more "Non-Employee Directors" within the meaning of
Rule 16b-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934
Act"), but the authority and validity of any act taken or not taken by the Plan
Administrator shall not be affected if any person administering the Plan is not
a Non-Employee Director. Except as specifically reserved to the Board under the
terms of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have full and final authority to
operate, manage and administer the Plan on behalf of the Company. Action by the
Plan Administrator shall require the affirmative vote of a majority of all
members thereof.

     2.2 POWERS OF THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR. Subject to the terms and conditions
of the Plan, the Plan Administrator shall have the power:

                                      -1-

<Page>

     (a) To determine from time to time the persons eligible to receive options
and the options to be granted to such persons under the Plan and to prescribe
the terms, conditions, restrictions, if any, and provisions (which need not be
identical) of each option granted under the Plan to such persons;

     (b) To construe and interpret the Plan and options granted thereunder and
to establish, amend, and revoke rules and regulations for administration of the
Plan. In this connection, the Plan Administrator may correct any defect or
supply any omission, or reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan, or in any
option agreement, in the manner and to the extent it shall deem necessary or
expedient to make the Plan fully effective. All decisions and determinations by
the Plan Administrator in the exercise of this power shall be final and binding
upon the Company and optionees;

     (c) To make, in its sole discretion, changes to any outstanding option
granted under the Plan, including: (i) to reduce the exercise price, (ii) to
accelerate the vesting schedule or (iii) to extend the expiration date; and

     (d) Generally, to exercise such powers and to perform such acts as are
deemed necessary or expedient to promote the best interests of the Company with
respect to the Plan.

SECTION 3. STOCK

     3.1 STOCK TO BE ISSUED. The stock subject to the options granted under the
Plan shall be shares of the Company's authorized but unissued common stock,
without par value (the "Common Stock"), or shares of the Company's Common Stock
held in treasury. The total number of shares that may be issued pursuant to
options granted under the Plan shall not exceed an aggregate of 500,000 shares
of Common Stock; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the class and aggregate number of
shares which may be subject to options granted under the Plan shall be subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 8 hereof.

     3.2 EXPIRATION, CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF OPTION. Whenever any
outstanding option under the Plan expires, is cancelled or is otherwise
terminated (other than by exercise), the shares of Common Stock allocable to the
unexercised portion of such option may again be the subject of options under the
Plan.

SECTION 4. ELIGIBILITY

     Inducement Options under the Plan may be granted only to persons to whom
the Company may issue securities without stockholder approval in accordance with
Rule 4350(i)(1)(A)(iv) of the Marketplace Rules of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc.

                                      -2-

SECTION 5. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT OR DEATH OF OPTIONEE

     5.1 TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. Except as may be otherwise expressly
provided herein, options shall terminate on the earliest of:

     (a) the date of expiration thereof;

     (b) immediately upon the termination of the optionee's employment with or
performance of services for the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the
Company) by the Company (or any such parent or subsidiary) for cause (as
determined by the Company or such parent or subsidiary); or

     (c) in the case of termination without cause or voluntary termination by
the optionee, thirty (30) days after the termination of the optionee's
employment with or performance of services for the Company (or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company) for any reason other than death or retirement;

PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that options granted to persons who are not employees of the
Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) need not, unless the Plan
Administrator determines otherwise, be subject to the provisions set forth in
clauses (b) and/or (c).

     An employment relationship between the Company (or any parent or subsidiary
of the Company) and the optionee shall be deemed to exist during any period in
which the optionee is employed by the Company (or any such parent or
subsidiary). Whether authorized leave of absence, or absence on military or
government service, shall constitute termination of the employment relationship
between the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) and the
optionee shall be determined by the Plan Administrator at the time thereof.

     As used herein, "cause" shall mean (w) any material breach by the optionee
of any agreement to which the optionee and the Company (or any parent or
subsidiary of the Company) are both parties; (x) any act or omission to act by
the optionee which may have a material and adverse effect on the business of the
Company (or any such parent or subsidiary) or on the optionee's ability to
perform services for the Company (or any such parent or subsidiary), including,
without limitation, the commission of any crime (other than ordinary traffic
violations); (y) any material misconduct or material neglect of duties by the
optionee in connection with the business or affairs of the Company (or any such
parent or subsidiary) or any affiliate of the Company (or any such parent or
subsidiary); or (z) "cause" as may otherwise be defined in any other agreements
between the optionee and the Company (or any such parent or subsidiary).

     5.2 DEATH OR RETIREMENT OF OPTIONEE. In the event of the death of the
holder of an option that is subject to clause (c) of Section 5.1 above prior to
termination of the optionee's employment with or performance of services for the
Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) and before the date of
expiration of such option, such

                                      -3-

<Page>

option shall terminate on the earlier of such date of expiration or one year
following the date of such death. After the death of the optionee, his
executors, administrators or any person or persons to whom his option may be
transferred by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall have the
right, at any time prior to such termination, to exercise the option to the
extent the optionee was entitled to exercise such option at the time of his
death.

     If, before the date of the expiration of an option that is subject to
clause (c) of Section 5.1 above, the optionee shall be retired in good standing
from the Company for reasons of age or disability under the then established
rules of the Company, the option shall terminate on the earlier of such date of
expiration or ninety (90) days after the date of such retirement. In the event
of such retirement, the optionee shall have the right prior to the termination
of such option to exercise the option to the extent to which he was entitled to
exercise such option immediately prior to such retirement.

SECTION 6. TERMS OF THE OPTION AGREEMENTS

     Each option agreement shall be in writing and shall contain such terms,
conditions, restrictions, if any, and provisions as the Plan Administrator shall
from time to time deem appropriate. Such provisions or conditions may include,
without limitation, restrictions on transfer, repurchase rights, or such other
provisions as shall be determined by the Plan Administrator; PROVIDED, HOWEVER,
that such additional provisions shall not be inconsistent with any other terms
or conditions of the Plan.

     Option agreements need not be identical, but each option agreement by
appropriate language shall include the substance of all of the following
provisions:

     6.1 EXPIRATION OF OPTION. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan
or of any option agreement, each option shall expire on the date specified in
the option agreement, which date shall not be later than as specified in Section
5 of this Plan.

     6.2 EXERCISE. Each option may be exercised, so long as it is valid and
outstanding, from time to time in part or as a whole, subject to any limitations
with respect to the number of shares for which the option may be exercised at a
particular time and to such other terms and conditions as the Plan Administrator
in its sole discretion may specify upon granting the option, including
non-competition, non-solicitation and non-hire provisions.

     6.3 PURCHASE PRICE. The purchase price per share under each option shall be
determined by the Plan Administrator at the time the option is granted.

     6.4 TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS. Inducement Options shall not be
transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will or under the laws of descent
and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during his lifetime, only by the
optionee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan Administrator may, in its sole
discretion, permit the transfer or assignment of an Inducement Option by the
original optionee for no consideration to: (i)

                                      -4-

<Page>

any member of the optionee's Immediate Family; (ii) any trust solely for the
benefit of members of the optionee's Immediate Family; (iii) any partnership
whose only partners are members of the optionee's Immediate Family; or (iv) any
limited liability company or corporate entity whose only members or other equity
owners are members of the optionee's Immediate Family. For purposes of this
Section 6.4, "Immediate Family" means an optionee's parents, spouse, children
and grandchildren. Nothing contained in this Section 6.4 shall be construed to
require the Plan Administrator to give its approval to any transfer or
assignment of any Inducement Option or portion thereof, and approval to transfer
or assign any Inducement Option or portion thereof does not mean that such
approval will be given with respect to any other Inducement Option or portion
thereof. The transferee or assignee of any Inducement Option shall be subject to
all of the terms and conditions applicable to such Inducement Option immediately
prior to the transfer or assignment and shall be subject to any conditions
prescribed by the Plan Administrator with respect to such Inducement Option. In
particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
termination of employment, retirement or death of the original optionee shall
continue to determine the term and time for exercise of such Inducement Option
for purposes of Sections 5.1 and 5.2 above.

     6.5 RIGHTS OF OPTIONEES. No optionee shall be deemed for any purpose to be
the owner of any shares of Common Stock subject to any option unless and until
the option shall have been exercised pursuant to the terms thereof, and the
Company shall have issued and delivered certificates representing such shares to
the optionee.

     6.6 CERTAIN RIGHTS OF THE COMPANY. The Plan Administrator may in its
discretion provide upon the grant of any option hereunder that the Company shall
have an option to repurchase upon such terms and conditions as determined by the
Plan Administrator all or any number of shares purchased upon exercise of such
option or a right of first refusal in connection with subsequent transfer of any
or all of such shares. The repurchase price per share payable by the Company
shall be such amount or be determined by such formula as is fixed by the Plan
Administrator at the time the option for the shares subject to repurchase is
granted. In the event the Plan Administrator shall grant options subject to the
Company's repurchase option or right of first refusal, the certificates
representing the shares purchased pursuant to such option shall carry a legend
satisfactory to counsel for the Company referring to the Company's repurchase
option or right of first refusal.

     6.7 "LOCKUP" AGREEMENT. The Plan Administrator may in its discretion
specify upon granting an option that upon request of the Company or the
underwriters managing any underwritten offering of the Company's securities, the
optionee shall agree in writing that for a period of time (not to exceed 180
days) from the effective date of any registration of securities of the Company,
the optionee will not sell, make any short sale of, loan, grant any option for
the purchase of, or otherwise dispose of any shares issued pursuant to the
exercise of such option, without the prior written consent of the Company or
such underwriters, as the case may be.

                                      -5-

SECTION 7. METHOD OF EXERCISE; PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE

     7.1 METHOD OF EXERCISE. Any option granted under the Plan may be exercised
by the optionee by delivering to the Company on any business day a written
notice specifying the number of shares of Common Stock the optionee then desires
to purchase and specifying the address to which the certificates for such shares
are to be mailed (the "Notice"), accompanied by payment for such shares. Such
exercise shall comply with all other terms and provisions of such option.

     7.2 PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE. Payment for the shares of Common Stock
purchased pursuant to the exercise of an option shall be made either by cash or
check equal to the option price for the number of shares specified in the Notice
or, with the consent of the Plan Administrator, by one or more of the following
methods: (i) by delivery to the Company of shares of Common Stock that either
have been purchased by the optionee on the open market, or have been
beneficially owned by the optionee for a period of at least six months and are
not then subject to restriction under any Company plan ("mature shares"); such
surrendered shares shall have a fair market value equal in amount to the
exercise price of the Inducement Options being exercised; (ii) a personal
recourse note issued by the optionee to the Company in a principal amount equal
to such aggregate exercise price and with such other terms, including interest
rate and maturity, as the Plan Administrator may determine in its discretion;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the interest rate borne by such note shall not be less
than the lowest applicable federal rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the
Code; (iii) by delivery of such documentation as the Plan Administrator and the
broker, if applicable, shall require to effect an exercise of the option and
delivery to the Company of the sale or loan proceeds required to pay the option
price, (iv) by delivery of such other consideration which is acceptable to the
Plan Administrator and which has a fair market value equal to the option price
of such shares, or (v) by any combination of such methods. For the purpose of
the Plan the "fair market value" of the Common Stock shall be the closing price
per share on the date of grant of the option as reported by a nationally
recognized stock exchange, or, if the Common Stock is not listed on such an
exchange, as reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. or, if the Common Stock
is not reported by the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc., the mean of the bid and asked
prices per share on the date of grant of the option or, if the Common Stock is
not traded over-the-counter, the fair market value as determined by the Plan
Administrator. As promptly as practicable after receipt of the Notice and
accompanying payment, the Company shall deliver to the optionee certificates for
the number of shares with respect to which such option has been so exercised,
issued in the optionee's name; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that such delivery shall be
deemed effected for all purposes when the Company or a stock transfer agent of
the Company shall have deposited such certificates in the United States mail,
addressed to the optionee, at the address specified in the Notice.

SECTION 8. CHANGES IN COMPANY'S CAPITAL STRUCTURE

     8.1 RIGHTS OF COMPANY. The existence of outstanding options shall not
affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make
or authorize, without limitation, any or all adjustments, recapitalizations,
reorganizations or other

                                      -6-

<Page>

changes in the Company's capital structure or its business, or any merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any issue of Common Stock, or any issue of
bonds, debentures, preferred or prior preference stock or other capital stock
ahead of or affecting the Common Stock or the rights thereof, or the dissolution
or liquidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer of all or any part of its
assets or business, or any other corporate act or proceeding, whether of a
similar character or otherwise.

     8.2 RECAPITALIZATIONS, STOCK SPLITS AND DIVIDENDS. If the Company shall
effect a subdivision or consolidation of shares or other capital readjustment,
the payment of a stock dividend, or other increase or reduction of the number of
shares of the Common Stock outstanding, in any such case without receiving
compensation therefor in money, services or property, then (i) the number,
class, and price per share of shares of stock subject to outstanding options
hereunder shall be appropriately adjusted in such a manner as to entitle an
optionee to receive upon exercise of an option, for the same aggregate cash
consideration, the same total number and class of shares as he would have
received as a result of the event requiring the adjustment had he exercised his
option in full immediately prior to such event; and (ii) the number and class of
shares set forth in Section 3.1 shall be adjusted by substituting therefor that
number and class of shares of stock that the owner of an equal number of
outstanding shares of Common Stock immediately prior to the event requiring
adjustment would own as the result of such event.

     8.3 MERGER WITHOUT CHANGE OF CONTROL. After a merger of one or more
corporations or other entities with or into the Company or after a consolidation
of the Company and one or more corporations or other entities in which the
stockholders of the Company immediately prior to such merger or consolidation
own after such merger or consolidation securities representing at least fifty
percent (50%) of the voting power of the Company or the surviving or resulting
corporation or entity, as the case may be, each holder of an outstanding option
shall, at no additional cost, be entitled upon exercise of such option to
receive in lieu of the shares of Common Stock as to which such option was
exercisable immediately prior to such event, the number and class of shares of
stock or other securities, cash or property (including, without limitation,
shares of stock or other securities of another corporation or entity or Common
Stock) to which such holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of
the agreement of merger or consolidation if, immediately prior to such merger or
consolidation, such holder had been the holder of record of a number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the number of shares for which such option shall be so
exercised.

     8.4 CHANGE OF CONTROL. If the Company is merged with or into or
consolidated with another corporation or other entity, other than a merger or
consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company
outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by
remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the
surviving entity) more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of
the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding
immediately after such merger or consolidation; or if the Company is liquidated,
or sells or otherwise disposes of substantially all of its assets to

                                      -7-

<Page>

another entity while unexercised options remain outstanding under the Plan, then
in such event either:

          (a) subject to the provisions of clause (c) below, after the effective
     date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation, sale or disposition, as
     the case may be, each holder of an outstanding option shall be entitled,
     upon exercise of such option, to receive, in lieu of the shares of Common
     Stock as to which such option was exercisable immediately prior to such
     event, the number and class of shares of stock or other securities, cash or
     property (including, without limitation, shares of stock or other
     securities of another corporation or entity or Common Stock) to which such
     holder would have been entitled pursuant to the terms of the merger,
     consolidation, liquidation, sale or disposition if, immediately prior to
     such event, such holder had been the holder of a number of shares of Common
     Stock equal to the number of shares as to which such option shall be so
     exercised;

          (b) the Plan Administrator may accelerate the time for exercise of
     some or all unexercised and unexpired options so that from and after a date
     prior to the effective date of such merger, consolidation, liquidation,
     sale or disposition, as the case may be, specified by the Plan
     Administrator such accelerated options shall be exercisable in full; or

          (c) all outstanding options may be canceled by the Plan Administrator
     as of the effective date of any such merger, consolidation, liquidation,
     sale or disposition provided that (x) notice of such cancellation shall be
     given to each holder of an option and (y) each holder of an option shall
     have the right to exercise such option to the extent that the same is then
     exercisable or, if the Plan Administrator shall have accelerated the time
     for exercise of all unexercised and unexpired options, in full during the
     10-day period preceding the effective date of such merger, consolidation,
     liquidation, sale or disposition.

     8.5 ADJUSTMENTS TO COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO OPTIONS. Except as hereinbefore
expressly provided, the issue by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or
securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, for cash or property,
or for labor or services, either upon direct sale or upon the exercise of rights
or warrants to subscribe therefor, or upon conversion of shares or obligations
of the Company convertible into such shares or other securities, shall not
affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the
number or price of shares of Common Stock then subject to outstanding options.

     8.6 MISCELLANEOUS. Adjustments under this Section 8 shall be determined by
the Plan Administrator, and such determinations shall be conclusive. No
fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued under the Plan on account of
any adjustment specified above.

                                      -8-

<Page>

SECTION 9. GENERAL RESTRICTIONS

     9.1 INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. The Company may require any person to whom
an option is granted, as a condition of exercising such option, to give written
assurances in substance and form satisfactory to the Company to the effect that
such person is acquiring the Common Stock subject to the option for his own
account for investment and not with any present intention of selling or
otherwise distributing the same, and to such other effects as the Company deems
necessary or appropriate in order to comply with federal and applicable state
securities laws.

     9.2 COMPLIANCE WITH SECURITIES LAWS. The Company shall not be required to
sell or issue any shares under any option if the issuance of such shares shall
constitute a violation by the optionee or by the Company of any provision of any
law or regulation of any governmental authority. In addition, in connection with
the Securities Act of 1933, as now in effect or hereafter amended (the "Act"),
upon exercise of any option, the Company shall not be required to issue such
shares unless the Plan Administrator has received evidence satisfactory to it to
the effect that the holder of such option will not transfer such shares except
pursuant to a registration statement in effect under such Act or unless an
opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company has been received by the Company
to the effect that such registration is not required. Any determination in this
connection by the Plan Administrator shall be final, binding and conclusive. In
the event the shares issuable on exercise of an option are not registered under
the Act, the Company may imprint upon any certificate representing shares so
issued the following legend or any other legend which counsel for the Company
considers necessary or advisable to comply with the Act and with applicable
state securities laws:

     The shares of stock represented by this certificate have not been
     registered under the Securities Act of 1933 or under the securities laws of
     any State and may not be pledged, hypothecated, sold or otherwise
     transferred except upon such registration or upon receipt by the
     Corporation of an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation, in
     form and substance satisfactory to the Corporation, that registration is
     not required for such sale or transfer.

     The Company may, but shall in no event be obligated to, register any
securities covered hereby pursuant to the Act; and in the event any shares are
so registered the Company may remove any legend on certificates representing
such shares. The Company shall not be obligated to take any other affirmative
action in order to cause the exercise of an option or the issuance of shares
pursuant thereto to comply with any law or regulation of any governmental
authority.

     9.3 EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION. The granting of any option shall not impose upon
the Company (or any parent or subsidiary of the Company) any obligation to
employ or continue to employ any optionee; and the right of the Company (or any
such parent or subsidiary) to terminate the employment of any officer or other
employee shall not be diminished or affected by reason of the fact that an
option has been granted to him or her.

                                      -9-

<Page>

     9.4 WITHHOLDING TAX. Whenever under the Plan securities or other property
are to be delivered upon exercise of an option, the Company shall be entitled to
require as a condition of delivery that the optionee remit an amount sufficient
to satisfy all federal, state and other governmental withholding tax
requirements related thereto, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Plan
Administrator regarding payment of such withholding taxes. The Company shall, to
the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any
payment of any kind otherwise due to the optionee. An optionee may elect, with
the consent of the Plan Administrator, to have such tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold from
shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the exercise of such option a
number of shares with an aggregate fair market value (as of the date the
withholding is effected) that would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due,
or (ii) delivering to the Company a number of mature shares of Common Stock with
an aggregate fair market value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that
would satisfy the minimum withholding amount due.

SECTION 10. AMENDMENT OR TERMINATION OF THE PLAN

     The Board of Directors may modify, revise or terminate this Plan at any
time and from time to time.

SECTION 11. NONEXCLUSIVITY OF THE PLAN

     The adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors shall not be construed
as creating any limitations on the power of the Board of Directors to adopt such
other inducement or other incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable,
including, without limitation, the granting of stock options otherwise than
under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either applicable generally or only
in specific cases.

SECTION 12. EFFECTIVE DATE AND DURATION OF PLAN

     The Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board of
Directors. No option may be granted under the Plan after the tenth anniversary
of the effective date. The Plan shall terminate (i) when the total amount of
Common Stock with respect to which options may be granted shall have been issued
upon the exercise of options or (ii) by action of the Board of Directors
pursuant to Section 10 hereof, whichever shall first occur.

Company, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by
the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company and delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate of the Company
setting forth the terms of the series.

 

Securities of any particular
series may be issued at various times, with different dates on which the
principal or any installment of principal is payable, with different rates of
interest, if any, or different methods by which rates of interest may be
determined, with different dates on which such interest may be payable and with

Section 2.02                            Form of Securities and
Trustee’s Certificate.

 

The Securities of any series
and the Trustee’s certificate of authentication to be borne by such Securities
shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in one or more
indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a Board Resolution, and set
forth in an Officers’ Certificate, and they may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements printed,
lithographed or engraved 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 securities exchange on which Securities of
that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

 

Section 2.03                            Denominations: Provisions
for Payment.

 

The Securities shall be
issuable as registered Securities and in the denominations of one thousand U.S.
dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof, subject to
Section 2.01(10).  The Securities
of a particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate
specified

 

 

with respect to that series. 
The principal of and the interest on the Securities of any series, as
well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity,
shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of America that
at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the office or
agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City and State of New York.  Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.  Interest on the Securities shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

 

The interest installment on
any Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on
any Interest Payment Date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the
Person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is
registered at the close of business on the regular record date for such
interest installment.  In the event that
any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for redemption
and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to
any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on
such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as
provided in Section 3.03.

 

Any interest on any Security
that is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date for Securities of the same series (herein called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered holder
on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having been such holder; and
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by the Company, at its election, as
provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

 

(1)                                 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities (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 such Security
and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall
deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause
provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall
fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which
shall not be more than 15 nor 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 Securityholder at his or her
address as it appears in the Security Register (as hereinafter defined), not
less than 10 days prior to such special record date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
special record date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date.

 

(2)                                 The Company may make payment of any Defaulted
Interest on any Securities 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.

 

Unless otherwise set forth
in a Board Resolution or one or more indentures supplemental hereto
establishing the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date” as used in this
Section with respect to a series of Securities and any Interest Payment
Date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day of the month
immediately preceding the month in which an Interest Payment Date established
for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such
Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month, or the first day of the
month in which an Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the
fifteenth day of a month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.

 

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

 

Section 2.04                            Execution and
Authentications.

 

The Securities shall be
signed on behalf of the Company by one of its Officers.  Signatures may be in the form of a manual or
facsimile signature.

 

The Company may use the
facsimile signature of any Person who shall have been an Officer,
notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be authenticated
and delivered or disposed of such Person shall have ceased to be such an
officer of the Company.  The Securities
may contain such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock
exchange rule or usage.  Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

 

A Security shall not be
valid until authenticated manually by an authorized signatory of the Trustee,
or by an Authenticating Agent.  Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture.  At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of the
Company for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by an
Officer, and the Trustee in accordance with such written order shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities.

 

In authenticating such
Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the form and terms thereof have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

The Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities

 

 

under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner that
is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

Section 2.05                            Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.

 

(a)                                  Securities of any series may be exchanged
upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company designated for
such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, for
other Securities of such series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate
principal amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section.  In respect of any Securities so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and
such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor the Security or
Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making the exchange shall
be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

(b)                                  The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept,
at its office or agency designated for such purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or such other location designated by
the Company, a register or registers (herein referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and the transfers of
Securities as in this Article provided and which at all reasonable times
shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. 
The registrar for the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of
Securities as herein provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board
Resolution (the “Security Registrar”).

 

Upon surrender for transfer
of any Security at the office or agency of the Company designated for such
purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such
office or agency shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a
new Security or Securities of the same series as the Security presented for a
like aggregate principal amount.

 

All Securities presented or
surrendered for exchange or registration of transfer, as provided in this
Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security
Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form
satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly executed by the
registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized attorney in writing.

 

(c)                                  Except as provided pursuant to
Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an Officers’
Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental to this
Indenture, no service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of
transfer of Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial
redemption of any series, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, Section 3.03(b) and
Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.

 

(d)                                  The Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a
notice of redemption of less than all the Outstanding Securities of the same
series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii)
to register the

 

 

transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions
thereof called for redemption, other than the unredeemed portion of any such
Securities being redeemed in part.  The
provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any Global Security,
subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

 

Section 2.06                            Temporary Securities.

 

Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities (printed, lithographed or
typewritten) of any authorized denomination. 
Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in the form of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company.  Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the
Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities of such series.  Without
unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive
Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such
series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders),
at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such
temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect
that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further
notice from the Company.  Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series
authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

Section 2.07                            Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
or Stolen Securities.

 

In case any temporary or
definitive Security shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute, and upon the
Company’s request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall authenticate and
deliver, a new Security of the same series, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated
Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost
or stolen.  In every case the applicant
for a substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless,
and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also
furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership
thereof.  The Trustee may authenticate
any such substituted Security and deliver the same upon the written request or
authorization of any officer of the Company. 
Upon the issuance of any substituted Security, 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.

 

In case any Security that
has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost
or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such

 

 

security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless, and,
in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the
Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and
of the ownership thereof.

 

Every replacement Security
issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall constitute an
additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time, or be
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the
same series duly issued hereunder.  All
Securities shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the
foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) any and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or
statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the
replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without
their surrender.

 

Section 2.08                            Cancellation.

 

All Securities surrendered
for the purpose of payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer
shall, if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled
by it, and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly
required or permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture.  In the absence of such request the Trustee
may dispose of canceled Securities in accordance with its standard procedures
and deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company.  If the Company shall otherwise 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 delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 2.09                            Benefits of Indenture.

 

Nothing in this Indenture or
in the Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to give to
any Person, other than the parties hereto and the holders of the Securities any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this
Indenture, or under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all
such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole benefit of the
parties hereto and of the holders of the Securities.

 

Section 2.10                            Authenticating Agent.

 

So long as any of the
Securities of any series remain Outstanding there may be an Authenticating
Agent for any or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the
right to appoint.  Said Authenticating
Agent shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption
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. 
All references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities by
the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an Authenticating
Agent for such series.  Each
Authenticating Agent

 

 

shall be acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has
a combined capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it,
sufficient under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in
which it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise
authorized under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities.  If at any time any Authenticating Agent
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall resign
immediately.

 

Any Authenticating Agent may
at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and
to the Company.  The Trustee may at any
time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. 
Upon resignation, termination or cessation of eligibility of any
Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint an eligible successor
Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company.  Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment
hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent
pursuant hereto.

 

Section 2.11                            Global Securities.

 

(a)                                  If the Company shall establish pursuant to
Section 2.01 that the Securities of a particular series are to be issued
as a Global Security, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall, in
accordance with Section 2.04, authenticate and deliver, a Global Security
that (i) shall represent, and shall be denominated in an amount equal to the
aggregate principal amount of, all of the Outstanding Securities of such
series, (ii) shall be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee,
(iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the
Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially to the
following effect: “Except as otherwise provided in Section 2.11 of the
Indenture, this Security may be transferred, in whole but not in part, only to
another nominee of the Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee
of such successor Depositary.”

 

(b)                                  Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be transferred, in whole
but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05, only to
another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor Depositary
for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee of such
successor Depositary.

 

(c)                                  If at any time the Depositary for a series of
the Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue
as Depositary for such series or if at any time the Depositary for such series
shall no longer be registered or in good standing under the Exchange Act, or
other applicable statute or regulation, and a successor Depositary for such
series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company
receives such notice or becomes aware of such condition, as the case may be, or
if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Company has
received a request from the Depositary, this Section 2.11 shall no longer
be applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute,
and subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange

 

 

for such Global Security.  In
addition, the Company may at any time determine that the Securities of any
series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security and that the
provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the Securities of
such series.  In such event the Company
will execute and, subject to Section 2.04, the Trustee, upon receipt of an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing such determination by the Company, will
authenticate and deliver the Securities of such series in definitive registered
form without coupons, in authorized denominations, and in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security of such
series in exchange for such Global Security. 
Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities in
definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the
Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.  Such Securities in definitive registered form issued in exchange
for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall be
registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. 
The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the Depositary for delivery
to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUND PROVISIONS

 

Section 3.01                            Redemption.

 

The Company may redeem the
Securities of any series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in
accordance with the terms established for such series pursuant to
Section 2.01 hereof.

 

Section 3.02                            Notice of Redemption.

 

(a)                                  In case the Company shall desire to exercise
such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a portion of the Securities of
any series in accordance with any right the Company reserved for itself to do
so pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the Company shall, or shall cause the
Trustee to, give notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such
series to be redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such
redemption not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date
fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as
they shall appear upon the Security Register, unless a shorter period is
specified in the Securities to be redeemed. 
Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the registered
holder receives the notice.  In any
case, failure duly to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any
series designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the
notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Securities of such series or any other series.  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
any such restriction.

 

Each such notice of
redemption shall specify the date fixed for redemption and the redemption price
at which Securities of that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that

 

 

payment of the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will
be made at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, the
City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender of such Securities,
that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as
specified in said notice, that from and after said date interest will cease to
accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.  If less than all the Securities of a series
are to be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be
redeemed in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so redeemed.

 

In case any Security is to
be redeemed in part only, the notice that relates to such Security shall state
the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state
that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, a new
Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

 

(b)                                  If less than all the Securities of a series
are to be redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days’ notice
(unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee) in advance of
the date fixed for redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of
Securities of the series to be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall
select, by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in
its discretion and that may provide for the selection of a portion or portions
(equal to one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof)
of the principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than
$1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the
Company in writing of the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or
in part.  The Company may, if and
whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by
an Officer, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to call all or any part of
the Securities of a particular series for redemption and to give notice of
redemption in the manner set forth in this Section, such notice to be in the
name of the Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may
deem advisable.  In any case in which
notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain
with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security
Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts
therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any
notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

 

Section 3.03                            Payment Upon Redemption.

 

(a)                                  If the giving of notice of redemption shall
have been completed as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities
of the series to be redeemed specified in such notice shall become due and
payable on the date and at the place stated in such notice at the applicable
redemption price, together with interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall
cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption, unless the Company
shall default in the payment of such redemption price and accrued interest with
respect to any such Security or portion thereof.  On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the
date fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said
Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for
such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date,
the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the
registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date
pursuant to Section 2.03).

 

 

(b)                                  Upon presentation of any Security of such
series that is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the Security is
presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a
new Security of the same series of authorized denominations in principal amount
equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

 

Section 3.04                            Sinking Fund.

 

The provisions of Sections
3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement
of Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 2.01 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 Securities of any
series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”.  If provided for by the terms of Securities
of any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to
reduction as provided in Section 3.05. 
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 3.05                            Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities.

 

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

 

Section 3.06                            Redemption of Securities for
Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 45 days prior
to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities (unless a
shorter period shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), the Company will deliver
to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next
ensuing sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of the
series, the portion thereof, if any, that is to be satisfied by delivering and
crediting Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis
for such credit and will, together with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to
the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. 
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 3.02 and cause notice of
the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the
Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02.  Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in
Section 3.03.

Securities remain Outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or
agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, with
respect to each such series and at such other location or locations as may be
designated as provided in this Section 4.02, where (i) Securities of that

presented as herein above authorized for registration of transfer and exchange,
and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or served, such
designation to continue with respect to such office or agency until the Company
shall, by written notice signed by any officer authorized to sign an Officers’
Certificate and delivered to the Trustee, designate some other office or agency
for such purposes or any of them.  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, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, notices and demands.  The Company initially appoints the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee located in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of
New York as its paying agent with respect to the Securities.

 

Section 4.03                         Paying Agents.

 

(a)                               If the Company shall appoint one or more
paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than the Trustee,
the Company will cause each such paying agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject
to the provisions of this Section:

 

(1)                                 that it will hold all sums held by it as such
agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on
the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid to it by the
Company or by any other obligor of such Securities) in trust for the benefit of
the Persons entitled thereto;

 

(2)                                 that it will give the Trustee notice of any
failure by the Company (or by any other obligor of such Securities) to make any
payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities
of that series when the same shall be due and payable;

 

 

(3)                                 that it will, at any time during the
continuance of any failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above,
upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums
so held in trust by such paying agent; and

 

(4)                                 that it will perform all other duties of
paying agent as set forth in this Indenture.

 

(b)                                  If the Company shall act as its own paying
agent with respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before each
due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of
that series, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium,
if any) or interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such
sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided
and will promptly notify the Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or
any other obligor on such Securities) to take such action.  Whenever the Company shall have one or more
paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of
the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that
series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal
(and premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest,
and (unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding anything in this
Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as
provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of
Section 11.05, and (ii) 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 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 terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were
held by the Company or such paying agent; and, upon such payment by the Company
or any paying agent to the Trustee, the Company or such paying agent shall be
released from all further liability with respect to such money.

 

Section 4.04                            Appointment to Fill Vacancy
in Office of Trustee.

 

The Company, whenever
necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the office of Trustee, will appoint, in
the manner provided in Section 7.10, a Trustee, so that there shall at all
times be a Trustee hereunder.

any of the Securities remain Outstanding, consolidate with or merge into any
other Person, in either case where the Company is not the survivor of such

other Person unless the provisions of Article Ten hereof are complied
with.

the following events that has occurred and is continuing:

 

(1)                                 the Company defaults in the payment of any
installment of interest upon any of the Securities of that series, as and when
the same shall become due and payable, and such default continues for a period
of 90 days; provided, however, that a valid extension of an interest payment
period by the Company in accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental
hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of interest for this
purpose;

 

(2)                                 the Company defaults in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of that series as

redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or in any payment required by any
sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that series; provided,
however, that a valid extension of the maturity of such Securities in
accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto shall not
constitute a default in the payment of principal or premium, if any;

 

(3)                                 the Company fails to observe or perform any
other of its covenants or agreements with respect to that series contained in
this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to that series of
Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof (other than a covenant or
agreement that has been expressly included in this Indenture solely for the
benefit of one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a
period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee, by
registered or certified mail, or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders
of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the

order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is for relief against the Company in an
involuntary case, (ii) appoints a Custodian of the Company for all or substantially
all of its property or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the
order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above), unless the
principal of all the Securities of that series shall have already become due
and payable, either the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of that series then Outstanding
hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by
such Securityholders), may declare the principal of (and premium, if any, on)
and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities of that series to be due
and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become
and shall be immediately due and payable. 
If an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or clause (5) above
occurs, the principal of and accrued and unpaid interest on all the Securities
of that series shall automatically be immediately due and payable without any
declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the holders of the
Securities.

 

(c)                               At any time after the principal of (and
premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on the Securities of that
series shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or
decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as
hereinafter provided, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Securities of that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice
to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if: (i) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities
of that series and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all
Securities of that series that shall have become due otherwise than by
acceleration (with interest upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to
the extent that such payment is enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue
installments of interest, at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of
that series to the date of such payment or deposit) and the amount payable to
the Trustee under Section 7.06, and (ii) any and all Events of Default
under the Indenture with respect to such series, other than the nonpayment of
principal on (and premium, if any, on) and accrued and unpaid interest on
Securities of that series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall
have been remedied or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

 

No such rescission and
annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or impair any
right consequent thereon.

 

(d)                               In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to
enforce any right with respect to Securities of that series under this
Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned
because of such rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have
been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case, subject
to any

 

 

determination in such proceedings, the Company and the Trustee shall be
restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as
though no such proceedings had been taken.

 

Section 6.02                            Collection of Indebtedness
and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The Company covenants that (i) in case it
shall default in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the
Securities of a series, or in any payment required by any sinking or analogous
fund established with respect to that series as and when the same shall have
become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of
90 Business Days, or (ii) in case it shall default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of a series when
the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the
Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise
then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the
benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the whole amount that
then shall have been become due and payable on all such Securities for
principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the case may be, with
interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent
that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue
installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in the Securities of
that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the amount
payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.

 

(b)                                  If the Company shall fail to pay such amounts
forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or
proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and
unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company
or other obligor upon the Securities of that series and collect the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law or equity out
of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that
series, wherever situated.

 

(c)                                  In case of any receivership, insolvency,
liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, readjustment, arrangement, composition
or judicial proceedings affecting the Company, or its creditors or property,
the Trustee shall have power to intervene in such proceedings and take any
action therein that may be permitted by the court and shall (except as may be
otherwise provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and other
papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee and of the holders of Securities of such series allowed
for the entire amount due and payable by the Company under the Indenture at the
date of institution of such proceedings and for any additional amount that may
become due and payable by the Company after such date, and to collect and
receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claim,
and to distribute the same after the deduction of the amount payable to the
Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in
bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the holders of
Securities of such series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under Section 7.06.

 

 

(d)                                  All rights of action and of asserting claims
under this Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to
Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of such Securities, or the production thereof at any trial or
other proceeding relative thereto, and any such suit or proceeding instituted
by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust,
and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the Trustee
of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable benefit of the
holders of the Securities of such series.

 

In case of an Event of
Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial
proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any
of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in
the Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture,
or to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this
Indenture or by law.

 

Nothing contained herein
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series
or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 6.03                            Application of Moneys
Collected.

 

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

 

FIRST: To the payment of
reasonable costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the
Trustee under Section 7.06;

 

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

 

THIRD: To the payment of the
remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person lawfully entitled thereto
as requested by the Company.

 

Section 6.04                            Limitation on Suits.

 

No holder of any Security of
any series shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of
this Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity or at law
upon or under or with respect to this Indenture or for the appointment of a
receiver or trustee, or for any

 

 

other remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have
given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the
continuance thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying
such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then
Outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such
action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee hereunder; (iii) such
holder or holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity
as it may require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred
therein or thereby; (iv) the Trustee for 90 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 90 day period, the holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the
Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

 

Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary or any other provisions of this Indenture, the
right of any holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on such Security, as therein provided, on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of
redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the enforcement
of any such payment on or after such respective dates or redemption date, shall
not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder and by accepting
a Security hereunder it is expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the
taker and holder of every Security of such series with every other such taker
and holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities of such
series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing
of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of the holders of any other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain
priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal,
ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities of such series.  For the protection and enforcement of the
provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall
be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

 

Section 6.05                            Rights and Remedies
Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

(a)                                  Except as otherwise provided in
Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by this Article to the
Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers and remedies available
to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by judicial proceedings or
otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and
agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise established with respect to
such Securities.

 

(b)                                  No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any
holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon
any Event of Default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any
such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default
or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of
Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article or by law
to the Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the
Securityholders.

 

 

Section 6.06                            Control by Securityholders.

 

The holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, 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 such series; provided, however, that such direction
shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture.  Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or
officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed, subject to
the Trustee’s duties under the Trust Indenture Act, would involve the Trustee
in personal liability or might be unduly prejudicial to the Securityholders not
involved in the proceeding.  The holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding affected thereby, determined in accordance with
Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of
such series waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants
contained herein or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to
such series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the
principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the Securities of that
series as and when the same shall become due by the terms of such Securities
otherwise than by acceleration (unless such default has been cured and a sum
sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest and principal and any
premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in accordance with
Section 6.01(c)).  Upon any such
waiver, the default covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all
purposes of this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the
Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and
rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

Section 6.07                            Undertaking to Pay Costs.

 

All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities by such holder’s 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 an undertaking
to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party
litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this
Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more
than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any
Security of such series, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such
Security or established pursuant to this Indenture.

 

 

ARTICLE 7

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

 

Section 7.01                            Certain Duties and
Responsibilities of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series and after the
curing of all Events of Default with respect to the Securities of that series
that may have occurred, shall undertake to perform with respect to the
Securities of such series such duties and only such duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee.  In case
an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has occurred
(that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to
Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.

 

(b)                                  No provision of this Indenture shall be
construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action,
its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(i)                                    prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default
with respect to the Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of
all such Events of Default with respect to that series that may have occurred:

 

(A)                               the duties and obligations of the Trustee
shall with respect to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with
respect to the Securities of such series except for the performance of such
duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and

 

(B)                               in the absence of bad faith on the part of
the Trustee, the Trustee may with respect to the Securities of such series
conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case
of any such certificates or opinions that by any provision hereof are
specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be
under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to
the requirement of this Indenture;

 

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

 

(iii)                            the Trustee shall not be liable with respect
to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the direction of the holders of not less than a majority in principal
amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or

 

 

exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this
Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and

 

(iv)                               None of the provisions contained in this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of its
duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable
ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or liability is not
reasonably assured to it under the terms of this Indenture or adequate
indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to it.

 

Section 7.02                            Certain Rights of Trustee.

 

Except as otherwise provided
in Section 7.01:

 

(a)                                  The Trustee may conclusively rely and shall
be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution,
certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,
order, approval, bond, security or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

 

(b)                                  Any request, direction, order or demand of
the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board
Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by any authorized
officer of the Company (unless other evidence in respect thereof is
specifically prescribed herein);

 

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

 

(d)                                  The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein
shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default with respect to a series of the Securities (that has not
been cured or waived), to exercise with respect to Securities of that series
such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the
same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

 

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

 

(f)                                    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, consent, order,
approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents, unless requested in writing
so to do by the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of the particular series affected thereby (determined as
provided in

 

 

Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a
reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to
be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it
by the terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity
against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a condition to so
proceeding.  The reasonable expense of
every such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee,
shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

 

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

 

In addition, the Trustee
shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any Default or Event of Default except
(1) any Event of Default occurring pursuant to Sections 6.01(a)(1), 6.01(a)(2)
and 4.01 hereof or (2) any Default or Event of Default of which the Trustee
shall have received written notification in the manner set forth in this
Indenture or a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have obtained actual
knowledge.  Delivery of reports,
information and documents to the Trustee under Section 5.03 is for
informational purposes only and the information and the Trustee’s receipt of
the foregoing shall not constitute constructive notice of any information
contained therein, or determinable from information contained therein including
the Company’s compliance with any of their covenants thereunder (as to which
the Trustee is entitled to rely conclusively on an Officers’ Certificate).

 

Section 7.03                            Trustee Not Responsible for
Recitals or Issuance or Securities.

 

(a)                                  The recitals contained herein and in the
Securities shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and the Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same.

 

(b)                                  The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.

 

(c)                                  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds
of such Securities, or for the use or application of any moneys paid over by
the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture or established
pursuant to Section 2.01, or for the use or application of any moneys
received by any paying agent other than the Trustee.

 

Section 7.04                            May Hold Securities.

 

The Trustee or any paying
agent or Security Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would have if
it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.

 

 

Section 7.05                            Moneys Held in Trust.

 

Subject to the provisions of
Section 11.05, all moneys received by the Trustee shall, until used or
applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they
were received, but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent
required by law.  The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except
such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

 

Section 7.06                            Compensation and
Reimbursement.

 

(a)                                  The Company covenants and agrees to pay to
the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) as the Company and the Trustee
may from time to time agree in writing, for all services rendered by it in the
execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of
any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and, except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, the Company will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon
its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ), except any such
expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith
and except as the Company and Trustee may from time to time agree in writing.  The Company also covenants to indemnify the
Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with
the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs
and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the
premises.

 

(b)                                  The obligations of the Company under this
Section to compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse
the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. 
Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of
the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as
such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular
Securities.

 

Section 7.07                            Reliance on Officers’
Certificate.

 

Except as otherwise provided
in Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this
Indenture the Trustee shall deem it reasonably necessary or desirable that a
matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering or omitting to
take any action hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect
thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or
bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and
established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to the Trustee and such
certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith
thereof.

 

 

Section 7.08                            Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.

 

If the Trustee has or shall
acquire any “conflicting interest” within the meaning of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee and the Company shall in all respects
comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

Section 7.09                            Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times be
a Trustee with respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all
times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the
United States of America or any state or territory thereof or of the District
of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person permitted to act as trustee by
the Securities and Exchange Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least fifty
million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or examination
by federal, state, territorial, or District of Columbia authority.

 

If such corporation or other
Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or other Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  The Company may not, nor may any Person
directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with
the Company, serve as Trustee.  In case
at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

 

Section 7.10                            Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)                                  The Trustee or any successor hereafter
appointed may at any time resign with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company and by transmitting
notice of resignation by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the
Securityholders of such series, as their names and addresses appear upon the
Security Register.  Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee
with respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor
trustee.  If no successor trustee shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee with
respect to Securities of such series, or any Securityholder of that series who
has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months
may on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any such
court for the appointment of a successor trustee.  Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may
deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

 

(b)                                  In case at any time any one of the following
shall occur:

 

 

(i)                                    the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
provisions of Section 7.08 after written request therefor by the Company
or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or
Securities for at least six months; or

 

(ii)                                the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Securityholder; or

 

(iii)                            the Trustee shall become incapable of acting,
or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or commence a voluntary
bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed or consented to, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation;

 

then, in any such case, the
Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities and appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the
Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee
so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has
been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months
may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly situated, petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor trustee. 
Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

 

(c)                                  The holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding may at
any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series by so notifying the
Trustee and the Company and may appoint a successor Trustee for such series with
the consent of the Company.

 

(d)                                  Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and
appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of a series
pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective
upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 7.11.

 

(e)                                  Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to
this Section may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
more series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only one Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any particular series.

 

Section 7.11                            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
so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the
retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such
successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee;
but, on the request of the Company or the successor trustee, such retiring
Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument
transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers, and trusts of
the retiring

 

 

Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

 

(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 wherein each successor trustee shall accept such
appointment and which (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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, 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 that no
Trustee shall be responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any
other Trustee hereunder; 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, such retiring Trustee shall
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations
vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the
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.

 

(e)                                  Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor
trustee as provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of the
succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class postage prepaid, to
the Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security
Register.  If the Company fails to transmit
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be transmitted at the
expense of the Company.

 

 

Section 7.12                            Merger, Conversion,
Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 

Any corporation into which
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided that such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of
Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding.  In case any Securities
shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in
office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such
authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities
so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself
authenticated such Securities.

 

Section 7.13                            Preferential Collection of
Claims Against the Company.

 

The Trustee shall comply
with Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor
relationship described in Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.  A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to Section 311(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the
extent included therein.

 

Section 7.14                            Notice of Default

 

If any Default or any Event
of Default occurs and is continuing and if such Default or Event of Default is
known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 313(c)
of the Trust Indenture Act notice of the Default or Event of Default within 45
days after it occurs and becomes known to the Trustee, unless such Default or
Event of Default has been cured; provided,
however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security, the Trustee
shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors,
the executive committee or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such
notice is in the interest of the Securityholders.

 

ARTICLE 8

 

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

 

Section 8.01                            Evidence of Action by
Securityholders.

 

Whenever in this Indenture
it is provided that the holders of a majority or specified percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series may take
any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any
notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at
the time of taking any such action the holders of such majority or specified
percentage of that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any
instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by such
holders of Securities of that series in person or by agent or proxy appointed
in writing.

 

 

If the Company shall solicit
from the Securityholders of any series any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its
option, as evidenced by an Officers’ Certificate, fix in advance a record date
for such series for the determination of Securityholders entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so.  If such a record date is fixed, such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action may be given before or after the record date, but only the
Securityholders of record at the close of business on the record date shall be
deemed to be Securityholders for the purposes of determining whether
Securityholders of the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities of that
series have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and for that
purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series shall be computed as of the
record date; provided, however, that no such authorization, agreement or
consent by such Securityholders on the record date shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture
not later than six months after the record date.

 

Section 8.02                            Proof of Execution by
Securityholders.

 

Subject to the provisions of
Section 7.01, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder
(such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of
the holding by any Person of any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made
in the following manner:

 

(a)                                  The fact and date of the execution by any
such Person of any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable
to the Trustee.

 

(b)                                  The ownership of Securities shall be proved
by the Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the Security
Registrar thereof.

 

The Trustee may require such
additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as it shall
deem necessary.

 

Section 8.03                            Who May be Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to the due presentment
for registration of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any
paying agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the Person in whose
name such Security shall be registered upon the books of the Company as the
absolute owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue
and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone
other than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or
on account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to
Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other purposes; and
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying agent nor any Security Registrar
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

 

Section 8.04                            Certain Securities Owned by
Company Disregarded.

 

In determining whether the
holders of the requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a
particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this
Indenture, the Securities of that series that are owned by the Company or any
other obligor on the Securities of that series or by any Person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under common control with the
Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series shall be
disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such
determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee
shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver, only
Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be
so disregarded.  The Securities so owned
that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the
purposes of this Section, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of
the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such Securities and
that the pledgee is not a Person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or
any such other obligor.  In case of a
dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of
counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee.

 

Section 8.05                            Actions Binding on Future
Securityholders.

 

At any time prior to (but
not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of
the taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified
in this Indenture in connection with such action, any holder of a Security of
that series that is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the
holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice
with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02,
revoke such action so far as concerns such Security.  Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange
therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective
of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security.  Any action taken by the holders of the
majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a
particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the holders of all
the Securities of that series.

 

ARTICLE 9

 

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

 

Section 9.01                            Supplemental Indentures
Without the Consent of Securityholders.

 

In addition to any
supplemental indenture otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company and
the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as then in effect), without the consent of the
Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes:

 

 

(a)                                  to cure any ambiguity, defect, or
inconsistency herein or in the Securities of any series;

 

(b)                                  to comply with Article Ten;

 

(c)                                  to provide for uncertificated Securities in
addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

 

(d)                                  to add to the covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions relating to the Company for the benefit of the holders
of all or any series of Securities (and if such covenants, restrictions,
conditions or provisions are to be for the benefit of less than all series of
Securities, stating that such covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions
are expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series), to make
the occurrence, or the occurrence and the continuance, of a default in any such
additional covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions an Event of
Default, or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

 

(e)                                  to add to, delete from, or revise the
conditions, limitations, and restrictions on the authorized amount, terms, or
purposes of issue, authentication, and delivery of Securities, as herein set
forth;

 

(f)                                    to make any change that does not adversely
affect the rights of any Securityholder in any material respect;

 

(g)                                 to provide for the issuance of and establish
the form and terms and conditions of the Securities of any series as provided
in Section 2.01, to establish the form of any certifications required to
be furnished pursuant to the terms of this Indenture or any series of
Securities, or to add to the rights of the holders of any series of Securities;

 

(h)                                 to evidence and provide for the acceptance of
appointment hereunder by a successor trustee; or

 

(i)                                    to comply with any requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor in connection with the
qualification of this Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

 

The Trustee is hereby
authorized to join with the Company in the execution of any such supplemental
indenture, and to make any further appropriate agreements and stipulations that
may be therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into
any such supplemental indenture that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties
or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

Any supplemental indenture
authorized by the provisions of this Section may be executed by the
Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders of any of the
Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of
Section 9.02.

 

 

Section 9.02                            Supplemental Indentures With
Consent of Securityholders.

 

With the consent (evidenced
as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series affected by such
supplemental indenture or indentures at the time Outstanding, the Company, when
authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time to time and at
any time enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall
conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect) for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner not covered by Section 9.01 the rights of the
holders of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; provided,
however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the
holders of each Security then Outstanding and affected thereby, (a) extend the
fixed maturity of any Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount
thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof or (b) reduce the
aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to
consent to any such supplemental indenture.

 

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

 

Section 9.03                            Effect of Supplemental
Indentures.

 

Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of
Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series, be and
be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith and the respective
rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities under this
Indenture of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the
series affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all
the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be
deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all
purposes.

 

Section 9.04                            Securities Affected by
Supplemental Indentures.

 

Securities of any series
affected by a supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the
execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this
Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a notation in form approved by
the Company, provided such form meets the requirements of any securities
exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any matter provided for in
such supplemental indenture.  If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to
conform, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the
Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the
Securities of that series then Outstanding.

 

 

Section 9.05                            Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.

 

Upon the request of the
Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions authorizing the execution of any
such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence
of the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as aforesaid, the
Trustee shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental
indenture unless such supplemental indenture affects the Trustee’s own rights,
duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the
Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such
supplemental indenture.  The Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, will be entitled to receive and
will be fully protected in relying upon an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel stating that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this
Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this
Article to join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such
Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel need not be provided in connection
with the execution of a supplemental indenture that establishes the terms of a
series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

 

Promptly after the execution
by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class
postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance of such
supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all series affected thereby
as their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register.  Any failure of the Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

 

ARTICLE 10

 

SUCCESSOR ENTITY

 

Section 10.01                     Company May Consolidate,
Etc.

 

Except as provided pursuant
to Section 2.01 pursuant to a Board Resolution, and set forth in an
Officers’ Certificate, or established in one or more indentures supplemental to
this Indenture, nothing contained in this Indenture shall prevent any
consolidation or merger of the Company with or into any other Person (whether
or not affiliated with the Company) or successive consolidations or mergers in
which the Company or its successor or successors shall be a party or parties,
or shall prevent any sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the
property of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or
substantially as an entirety, to any other corporation (whether or not
affiliated with the Company or its successor or successors) authorized to
acquire and operate the same; provided, however, the Company hereby covenants
and agrees that, upon any such consolidation or merger (in each case, if the
Company is not the survivor of such transaction), sale, conveyance, transfer or
other disposition, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (premium,
if any) and interest on all of the Securities of all series in accordance with
the terms of each series, according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture with respect to each series or established with respect to such
series pursuant to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company
shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which shall conform to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, as then in effect) reasonably

 

 

satisfactory in form to the Trustee executed and delivered to the
Trustee by the entity formed by such consolidation, or into which the Company
shall have been merged, or by the entity which shall have acquired such
property.

 

Section 10.02                     Successor Entity Substituted.

 

(a)                                  In case of any such consolidation, merger,
sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition and upon the assumption by the
successor entity by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the
Trustee and satisfactory in form to the Trustee, of the obligations set forth
under Section 10.01 on all of the Securities of all series Outstanding,
such successor entity shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company with
the same effect as if it had been named as the Company herein, and thereupon

within one year or are to be called for redemption within one year under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of
redemption, and the Company shall deposit or cause to be deposited with the

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if
any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity or date fixed
for redemption, as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause
to be paid all other sums payable hereunder with respect to such series by the
Company then this Indenture shall thereupon cease to be of further effect with
respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07,
4.01, 4.02, 4.03 and 7.10, that shall survive until the date of maturity or
redemption date, as the case may be, and Sections 7.06 and 11.05, that shall survive
to such date and thereafter, and the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at
the cost and expense of the Company shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to
such series.

 

Section 11.02                     Discharge of Obligations.

irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds moneys or an amount of Governmental
Obligations sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all such
Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to
become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption, as the case
may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums
payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such series, then after the
date such moneys or Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited
with the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture with
respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect except for the provisions
of Sections 2.03, 2.05, 2.07, 4,01, 4.02, 4,03, 7.06, 7.10 and 11.05 hereof
that shall survive until such Securities shall mature and be paid.

 

Thereafter, Sections 7.06
and 11.05 shall survive.

 

Section 11.03                     Deposited Moneys to be Held
in Trust.

 

All moneys or Governmental
Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02
shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due, either
directly or through any paying agent (including the Company acting as its own
paying agent), to the holders of the particular series of Securities for the
payment or redemption of which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have
been deposited with the Trustee.

 

Section 11.04                     Payment of Moneys Held by
Paying Agents.

 

In connection with the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental

Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the Trustee and
thereupon such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such moneys or Governmental Obligations.

 

 

Section 11.05                     Repayment to Company.

 

Any moneys or Governmental
Obligations deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by the
Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest
on the Securities of a particular series that are not applied but remain
unclaimed by the holders of such Securities for at least two years after the
date upon which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such
Securities shall have respectively become due and payable, or such other
shorter period set forth in applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed
property law, shall be repaid to the Company on May 31 of each year or upon the
Company’s request or (if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from
such trust; and thereupon the paying agent and the Trustee shall be released
from all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental
Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to receive such
payment shall thereafter, as a general creditor, look only to the Company for
the payment thereof.

shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect,

 

 

such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any
other provisions of this Indenture or of such Securities, but this Indenture
and such Securities shall be construed as if such invalid or illegal or
unenforceable provision had never been contained herein or therein.

For purposes of this Section 13.12, such compliance shall be
determined without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided under this Indenture.  If the
officer of the Company signing such certificate has knowledge of such a Default
or Event of Default, the certificate shall describe any such Default or Event
