SECTION 2.04       Authentication
and Delivery of Securities. At any time and from time to time after the
execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of
any Series executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
together with a written order of the Company, signed by its chief executive
officer, president or any vice president, and by its treasurer, secretary, or
any assistant treasurer or any assistant secretary for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities and the Trustee, in accordance with such order of
the Company, shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. In the case of
Securities offered in a Periodic Offering, however, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver such Securities from time to time in accordance with
Instructions or such other procedures acceptable to the Trustee as may be
specified by or pursuant to a supplemental indenture or the written order of
the Company delivered to the Trustee prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such Series. At the time of the first
authentication of Securities of a Series that provides for the issuance of
Securities of that Series from time to time, and accepting the additional
responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the
Trustee shall be entitled to receive and subject to Section 6.01 shall be
fully protected in relying upon:

 

(a)   a copy of any resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors relating to such Series, in each case certified by the
secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company;

 

(b)   a supplemental indenture, if any;

 

(c)   an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
form and terms of the Securities of such Series as required pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.03, respectively, and prepared in accordance with Section 11.05;
and

 

(d)   an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance
with Section 11.05, which shall state:

 

(i)    that the form or forms and terms of such
Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution of the Board of
Directors or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(ii)   that such Securities have been duly authorized
and, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company
in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such opinion of
counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws relating to or
affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by general
equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is considered
in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

With respect to Securities
of a Series subject to a Periodic Offering, however, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such
Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the written order of the Company,
Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate and other documents delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.04 at or prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such Series unless and until such written
order, Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate or other documents have been
superseded or revoked or expire by their terms.

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
Securities under this Section 2.04 if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture in a manner not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.05       Execution
of Securities. The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by its
chief executive officer, president or any vice president and its treasurer,
secretary or any assistant treasurer or assistant secretary, under its corporate
seal. Such signatures may be the manual or facsimile signatures of such
officers. The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile thereof and
may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities.
Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the
seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of
any Security that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

 

7

 

In
case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities
shall cease to be such officer before the Security so signed shall be
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such
Security nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as
though the person who signed such Security had not ceased to be such officer of
the Company. Any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such
individuals as, at the actual date of the execution of such Security, shall be
the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution and
delivery of this Indenture any such individual was not such an officer.

 

SECTION 2.06       Certificate
of Authentication. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth in Section 2.02 and
executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or be valid or
obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate by the Trustee upon any Security
executed by the Company 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.

 

SECTION 2.07       Denomination
and Date of Securities; Payments of Interest. The Securities shall be issuable
in denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In
the absence of any such specification with respect to the Securities of any
Series, Securities shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple thereof, and interest shall be computed on the basis of a
360-day year of twelve 30-day months. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered
or otherwise distinguished in such manner or in accordance with such plan as
the officers of the Company executing the same may determine with the approval
of the Trustee as evidenced by its execution and authentication thereof.

 

Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 2.03, interest on any
Security that is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
interest payment date shall be paid to the person in whose name that Security,
or one or more predecessor securities, is registered at the close of business
on the regular record date for the payment of such interest.

 

The
term “RECORD DATE” as used with respect to any interest payment date (except
for a date for payment of defaulted interest) means the date specified as such
in the terms of the Securities of any particular Series or, if no such
date is so specified, the close of business on the fifteenth day preceding such
interest payment date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

 

Any
interest on any Security of any Series that is payable but not punctually
paid or duly provided for (“DEFAULTED INTEREST”) on any interest payment date
shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Registered Holder on the relevant
record date by virtue of such Holder having been a Holder on such record date.
Such defaulted interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (a) or clause (b) below:

 

(a)   The Company may elect to make payment of any
defaulted interest to the persons in whose names any 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 Security of
such Series and the date of the proposed payment and at the same time the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds 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 funds when deposited shall be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as provided in this
clause (a). Thereupon the Trustee promptly shall fix a special record date for
the payment of such defaulted interest in respect of Securities of such Series,
which shall be not more than 15 nor less than ten days prior to the date of the
proposed payment. The Trustee promptly shall 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 thereof to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Registered Holder at his address as it appears in the Security register, not
less than ten days prior to such special record date. Notice

 

8

 

of the proposed payment of such
defaulted interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such defaulted interest in respect of Securities of such Series shall
be paid to the persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective
predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date and such
defaulted interest shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following clause
(b).

 

(b)   The Company may make payment of any defaulted
interest on the Securities of any Series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of that Series 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 payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

 

Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.07, each Security delivered
under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in
lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and
unpaid, and to accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

 

SECTION 2.08       Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The Company will cause to be kept at
each office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02
a register or registers (the “SECURITY REGISTER”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company will provide for the
registration and the registration of transfer of the Securities. The Trustee is
hereby appointed Security registrar for purposes of registering, and
registering transfers of, the Securities.

 

Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any Series at
any such office or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in the name of the transferee or transferees, a new
Security or Securities of the same Series and of like tenor and containing
the same terms (other than the principal amount thereof, if more than one
Security is executed, authenticated and delivered with respect to any security
so presented, in which case the aggregate principal amount of the executed,
authenticated and delivered Securities shall equal the principal amount of the
Security presented in respect thereof) and conditions.

 

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

 

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

 

No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of an amount sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 8.05 or 12.03 not involving any
transfer.

 

The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Security during a 15-day period prior to the day of mailing of the
relevant notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in
the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not
redeemed.

 

SECTION 2.09       Mutilated,
Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or
definitive Security shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Company shall execute, and upon the written request of any officer
of the Company, the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery
a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount
and with the same terms and conditions, bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security
or in lieu of and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen.
In every case the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the
Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as

 

9

 

may be
required by them to indemnify and defend and to save each of them harmless and,
in every case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

 

Upon
the issuance of any substitute Security, the Company may require the payment of
an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses, including the reasonable
fees and expenses of the Trustee, connected therewith. In case any Security
which has matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in
full shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the
Company, instead of issuing a substitute Security, may pay or authorize the
payment of the same without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated
or defaced Security. The applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Company and to the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may
require to save each of them harmless. In every case of destruction, loss or
theft, the applicant also shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence
to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of
the ownership thereof.

 

Every
substitute Security of any Series issued pursuant to the provisions of
this Section 2.09 by virtue of the fact that any Security is destroyed,
lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of and
shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in this Indenture
equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such Series duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned
upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any
and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute to the
contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments
or other securities without their surrender.

 

SECTION 2.10       Cancellation
of Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration
of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a
sinking or analogous fund, if surrendered to the Company or any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall 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 permitted by the provisions
of this Indenture. The Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the
Company has not issued and sold and all Securities so delivered shall be
promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The Trustee or its agent shall dispose of
cancelled Securities held by it and deliver a certificate of disposition to the
Company. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

 

SECTION 2.11       Temporary
Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any Series,
the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery temporary Securities for such Series, which may be printed, typewritten
or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee. Temporary Securities of any Series may be issued in any
authorized denomination and substantially in the form of the definitive
Securities of such Series but with such omissions, insertions and
variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be
determined by the Company with the reasonable concurrence of the Trustee.
Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture
as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security 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. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall
furnish definitive securities of such Series and thereupon temporary
Securities of such Series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without
charge at each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that
purpose pursuant to Section 3.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
make available for delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities of such Series a
like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any Series shall
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such Series.

 

SECTION 2.12       Securities
in Global Form. If Securities of a Series are issuable in global form, as
specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, then, notwithstanding the
provisions of Sections 2.03(k) and

 

10

 

Section 2.07, such
Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such Series as
shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby
from time to time may be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a
Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in
the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may be made by the
Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as
shall be specified therein or in the Company order to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04,
the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global form
in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified therein or in the applicable Company order. If a Company order
pursuant to Section 2.04 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or
redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply
with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03, payment of principal
of and any interest on any Security in definitive global form shall be made to
the Person or Persons specified therein.

 

Except
as provided in the preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company and the Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such
principal amount of outstanding Securities represented by a definitive global
Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Holder of such
definitive global Security.

 

SECTION 2.13       CUSIP Numbers.
The Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers if then generally
in use and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders. Any such notice may state that no
representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed
on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities. No such redemption shall be affected by any defect in or omission
of such numbers. The Company promptly will notify the Trustee of any change in
the CUSIP numbers.

 

ARTICLE 3

COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

 

SECTION 3.01       Payment of
Principal and Interest. The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of
each particular Series of Securities that it will duly and punctually pay
or cause to be paid the principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities
of such Series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such Series and
this Indenture.

 

SECTION 3.02       Offices for Payment, Etc. So long
as any of the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will maintain the
following for each Series: an office or agency where the Securities may be
presented for payment or conversion; where the Securities may be presented for
registration of transfer and for exchange; and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture may be
served. The Company will give to
the Trustee written notice of the location of any such office or agency and of
any change of location thereof. In case the Company shall fail to so designate
or maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to give such notice of the
location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations and demands
may be made and notices may be served at the Corporate Trust Office. Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, the Trustee is hereby
appointed Paying Agent.

 

SECTION 3.03       Paying
Agents. Whenever the Company shall appoint a Paying Agent other than the
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any Series, it will cause 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 3.03:

 

(a)   that it will hold all amounts received by it
as such Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Securities of such Series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of such Series and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and upon the written request of the Trustee, pay over all such amounts received
by it to the Trustee; and

 

11

 

(b)   that it will give the Trustee notice of any
failure by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such Series to
make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series when
the same shall be due and payable.

 

On
or prior to each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of
such Series, the Company will deposit with the Paying Agent sufficient funds to
pay such principal or interest so becoming due and, unless such Paying Agent is
the Trustee, notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

 

If
the Company shall act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of
any Series, on or before each due date of the principal of or interest on the
Securities of such Series it will set aside, segregate and hold in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series sufficient
funds to pay such principal or interest so becoming due. The Company will
promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

 

At
any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with
respect to one or more or all Series of Securities or for any other
reason, the Company may pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all amounts held
in trust for any such Series by the Company or any Paying Agent, such
amounts to be held by the Trustee in trust pursuant to this Indenture.

 

The
agreement to hold amounts in trust as provided in this Section 3.03 is
subject to the provisions of Sections 10.03 and 10.04.

 

SECTION 3.04       Officers’
Certificate. The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after
the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, a
statement signed by a principal execute officer, principal financial officer or
principal accounting officer, which need not constitute an Officers’
Certificate, as to the Company’s compliance with all conditions and covenants
under the Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture).

 

SECTION 3.05       Calculation
of Original Issue Discount. The Company shall file with the Trustee, within 60
days after the end of each calendar year, a written notice specifying the
amount of original issue discount, if any, including daily rates and accrual
periods, accrued on each Series of Outstanding Securities as of the end of
such year.

 

ARTICLE 4

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY

 

SECTION 4.01       Company to
Furnish Trustee Information as to Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The
Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee a list in such
form as the Trustee reasonably may require of the names and addresses of the
Holders of the Securities of each Series:

 

(a)   semiannually, and not more than 15 days after
each record date for the payment of interest on such Securities, as of such
record date; and

 

(b)   at such other times as the Trustee reasonably
may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such
request, such list to be as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such information is furnished.

 

If
the Trustee shall be the Security registrar for such Series, no such list shall
be required to be furnished to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 4.02       Preservation
and Disclosure of Securityholders’ Lists.

 

(a)   The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of each Series of Securities contained in the
most recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 or maintained
by the Trustee in its capacity as Security

 

12

 

registrar for such Series. The
Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01
upon receipt of a new list so furnished.

 

(b)   In case three or more Holders of Securities
of any Series (“APPLICANTS”) apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish
to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security
of such Series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of
such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Holders of Securities of such Series or with
Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or
under such Securities and such application is accompanied by a copy of the form
of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then
the Trustee, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application,
at its election, either:

 

(i)    shall afford to such applicants access to
the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02(a); or

 

(ii)   shall inform such applicants as to the
approximate number of Holders of Securities of such Series or all
Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the
information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing
to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any,
specified in such application.

 

If
the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee, upon the written request of such applicants, shall
mail to each Securityholder of such Series or all Securities, as the case
may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(a), a
copy of the form of proxy or other communication that is specified in such
request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the
material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the
Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission together
with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect
that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best
interests of the Holders of Securities of such Series or all Securities,
as the case may be, or could be in violation of applicable law. Such written
statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after
opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written
statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections
or if, after the entry of such order sustaining one or more of such objections,
the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all
the objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an order so
declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and
the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

 

(c)   Each and every Holder of Securities, by
receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information
as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.02(b), regardless of the source from which
such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable
by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under such Section 4.02(b).

 

SECTION 4.03       Reports by
the Company. The Company:

 

(a)   will file with the Trustee, within 15 days
after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of
the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission from time to
time by rules and regulations may prescribe) that the Company may be
required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act, or if the Company is not required to file
information, documents or reports pursuant to either of such Sections, then to
file with the Trustee and the Commission, in accordance with rules and
regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission, such of the
supplementary and periodic information, documents and reports that may
be required pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act or in
respect of a security listed and

 

13

 

registered on a national securities exchange
as may be prescribed from time to time in such rules and regulations;

 

(b)   will file with the Trustee and the
Commission, in accordance with rules and regulations prescribed from time
to time by the Commission, such additional information, documents and reports
with respect to compliance by the Company with the conditions and covenants

Default Defined; Acceleration of Maturity; Waiver of Default. “EVENT OF DEFAULT”,
with respect to Securities of any Series, means any one of the following events
which shall have occurred and be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event
of Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body)
unless it is either inapplicable to a particular Series or it is
specifically deleted or modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture
or resolution of the Board of Directors establishing such Series of
Securities or in the form of Security for such Series:

 

(a)   default in the payment of any installment of
interest upon any of the Securities of such Series as and when the same
shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of

the principal of any of the Securities of such Series as and when the same
shall become due and payable, either at maturity, upon any redemption, by

covenant or warranty contained in the Securities of such Series or in this
Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or
whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 5.01 specifically dealt with or
which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of
one or more Series of Securities other than that Series), and continuance
of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given,
by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that Series, a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

 

(d)   the entry by a court having jurisdiction in

substantial part of its property or (4) ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for
relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of
90 consecutive days;

 

14

 

(e)   the commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be
adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to the entry of a
decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case or
proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency,

it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking
reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the

its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors; or

 

(f)    any other Event of Default provided with
respect to Securities of such Series in the supplemental indenture or
resolution of the Board of Directors establishing such Series.

 

If
an Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of
any Series, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all
Securities of such Series shall have already become due and payable,
either the Trustee for such Series or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities of such Series then
Outstanding, by notice in writing to the Company and to the Trustee if given by
such Holders, may declare the principal of all the Securities of such Series to
be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall
become and shall be immediately due and payable. This provision, however, is
subject to the condition that if at any time after the principal of the
Securities of such Series shall have been so declared due and payable, and
before any judgment or decree for the payment of the amounts due shall have
been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall have paid
or deposited with the Trustee sufficient funds to pay all matured installments
of interest, if any, upon all the Securities of such Series and the
principal of the Securities of such Series that shall have become due
other than by such acceleration (with interest upon such principal and, to the
extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, upon
overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the Securities of such Series to
the date of such payment or deposit) and all other defaults under this
Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal of Securities of such Series that
shall have become due by such acceleration, shall have been remedied, then and
in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount at
maturity of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding, by written
notice to the Company and to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series, may
waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences;
but no such waiver or rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect
any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 5.02       Collection
of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee May Prove Debt. If the Company shall
fail to pay any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any Series when
such interest shall have become due and payable, and such default shall have
continued for a period of 30 days or shall fail to pay the principal of any of
the Securities of any Series when the same shall have become due and
payable, whether upon maturity of the Securities of such Series or upon
any redemption or by declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee
for the Securities of such Series, the Company will pay to the Trustee for the
Securities of such Series for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities
of such Series the whole amount that then shall have become due and
payable on all Securities of such Series for principal of or interest, as
the case may be (with interest to the date of such payment upon the overdue
principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law, on overdue installments of interest at the same rate as the
rate of interest specified in the Securities of such Series) and such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including reasonable compensation to and expenses incurred by the Trustee and
each predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel.

 

Until
such demand is made by the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and
interest on the Securities of any Series to the persons entitled thereto,
whether or not the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series are
overdue.

 

If
the Company shall fail to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee for
the Securities of such Series, 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 amounts so due and unpaid. In any
such case, the Trustee may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment
or final decree and may enforce any such

 

15

 

judgment or final decree against the Company or other obligor upon such
Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the
Company or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated, the amounts
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

If
(i) there shall be pending proceedings relative to the Company or any
other obligor upon the Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or
any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law, (ii) a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Company or its property or such other obligor or (iii) any
other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor
under the Securities of any Series, or to the creditors or property of the
Company or such other obligor, shall be pending, and irrespective of whether
the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable or whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02,
the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise:

 

(a)   to file and prove a claim or claims for the
whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Securities of any Series and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to, and expenses incurred by, the Trustee
and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or other obligor upon all Securities of any Series, or
to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor; and

 

(b)   to collect and receive any funds or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all
amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the
Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or
other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make
payments to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series, and, in the event that
such Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the
Securityholders, to pay to such Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover reasonable compensation to and expenses incurred by such Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel and all
other amounts due to such Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07.

 

Nothing
herein contained 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 any 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.

 

All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the
Securities may be enforced by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series without
the possession of any of the Securities of such Series or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such action or
proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment
of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
action was taken.

 

In
any proceedings brought by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series, the
Trustee shall be held to represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect
of which such action was taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any
Holders of such Securities parties to any such proceedings.

 

SECTION 5.03       Application
of Proceeds. Any amounts collected by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series pursuant
to this Article 5 in respect of the Securities of any Series shall be
applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such amounts on account of principal or
interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of
which amounts have been collected and stamping or otherwise noting thereon the
payment, or issuing Securities of such Series in reduced principal amounts
in exchange for the presented Securities of like Series if only partially
paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

16

 

FIRST: to the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such Series in
respect of which amounts have been collected, including reasonable compensation
to and expenses incurred by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07;

 

SECOND: to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal
of and interest on the Securities of such Series in respect of which
amounts have been collected, such payments to be made ratably to the persons
entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference, according to the
amounts then due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest; and

 

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

 

SECTION 5.04       Restoration
of Rights on Abandonment of Proceedings. If the Trustee for the Securities of
any Series shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture
and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason,
or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, the Company and the
Trustee, subject to the determination in any such proceeding, shall be restored
to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and
powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as
though no such proceedings had been taken.

 

SECTION 5.05       Limitations on Suits by
Securityholders. 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 action or
proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an
Event of Default and of the continuance thereof and 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 or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonable to it as it may require, against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with
every other Holder of a Security and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Securities of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatever,
by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture, to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of 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 the
applicable Series.

 

SECTION 5.06       Unconditional
Right of Securityholders to Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any
provision in this Indenture and any provision of any Security, the right of any
Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.07)
interest on such Security at the respective rates, in the respective amount on
or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute
suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION 5.07       Powers and
Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as
provided in Sections 2.09 and 5.05, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or
reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is intended to be exclusive
of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent
permitted by law, shall be cumulative and in addition to every other right and
remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or
otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder shall
not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate
right or remedy.

 

No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Securityholder 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 Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 5.05,

 

17

 

every power and remedy given
by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or the Securityholders.

 

SECTION 5.08       Control by
Securityholders. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of each Series affected at the time Outstanding 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
by this Indenture on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series;
provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law
and the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee shall determine that the
action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal
liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions
or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly
prejudicial to the interests of Holders of the Securities of all Series so
affected not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that
the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or
forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such Holders.

 

SECTION 5.09       Waiver of
Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of such Series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities of such Series, may waive any past default
hereunder or its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal
of or interest on any of the Securities of such Series.

 

Upon
any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been
cured and not to have occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 5.10       Right of
Court to Require Filing of Undertaking to Pay Costs. Any court in its
discretion may require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit. Any such court in its
discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
and expenses, 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.
The provisions of this Section 5.10 shall not apply, however, to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder or
group of Securityholders of any Series holding in the aggregate more than
10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series or to
any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of
the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the due date expressed
in such Security.

 

SECTION 5.11       Suits for Enforcement. If an Event
of Default has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee in
its discretion may 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 this 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.

Trustee.

 

(a)   If an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall

Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness

to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However,
in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof
are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall
examine the certificates and opinions to determine whether or not they conform

(c)   The Trustee may not be relieved from

hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required

or Opinion of Counsel.

 

19

 

(e)   The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the

(g)   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, Officers’ Certificate or other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or
document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each
affected Series; provided 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, in the opinion of the Trustee, is 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
expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding.

 

(h)   The Trustee shall not be required to give any
bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
hereunder.

 

(i)    The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or
agreements on the part of the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein,
but the Trustee may require of the Company full information and advice as to
the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein and
shall be entitled in connection herewith to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company.

 

(j)    The permissive rights of the Trustee to do
things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
default.

 

(k)   Except for (i) a default under Section 5.01(a) or
(b) or (ii) any other event of which the Trustee has actual knowledge
and which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both, would
constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
deemed to have notice of any default or event unless specifically notified in
writing of such event by the Company or the Holders of not less than 25% in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each affected
Series.

 

SECTION 6.03       Individual
Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may
become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the
Company or its affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not
Trustee. Any Paying Agent, registrar or co-registrar may do the same with like
rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11.

 

SECTION 6.04       Trustee’s
Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy
of this Indenture or the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for
the Company’s use of the proceeds from the Securities and shall not be
responsible for any statement in any registration statement for the Securities
filed with the Commission under the Securities Act (other than its Statement of
Eligibility on Form T-1) or in the Indenture (other than its eligibility
under Section 6.10) or the Securities (other than its certificate of
authentication).

 

SECTION 6.05       Notice of Defaults. If a default
occurs and is continuing with respect to any Securities of any Series and
if the Trustee has actual knowledge of such default, the Trustee shall give to
each Securityholder of such Series notice of the default within 90 days
after such default occurs. Except in the case of a default described in Section 5.01(a) or
(b), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its

 

20

 

Responsible Officers
in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders
of such Series.

 

SECTION 6.06       Reports by
Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days after each May 15 beginning with the May 15
following the date of this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each
Securityholder of any Series and each other Person specified in Section 313(c) of
the Trust Indenture Act a brief report dated as of such May 15 that
complies with Section 313(a) of the Trust Indenture Act to the extent
required thereby. The Trustee also shall comply with Section 313(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.

 

The
Trustee will file a copy of each report, at the time of its mailing to Securityholders
of any Series, with the Commission and each securities exchange on which the
Securities of any Series are listed. The Company promptly will notify the
Trustee whenever the Securities of any Series become listed on any
securities exchange and of any delisting thereof.

 

SECTION 6.07       Compensation
and Indemnity. The Company:

 

(a)   will pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as shall be agreed to
in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it
hereunder, which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust;

 

(b)   will reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture, including the
reasonable compensation and expenses of its agents and counsel, except to the
extent any such compensation or expense may be attributable to its negligence
or willful misconduct; and

 

(c)   will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense may be
attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct.

 

As
security for the performance of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.07,
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities on all funds or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except for those funds that are held in trust
to pay the principal of or interest, if any, on particular Securities.

 

“Trustee”
for purpose of this Section 6.07 includes any predecessor trustee;
provided that the negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not be
attributable to any other Trustee.

 

The
Company’s payment obligations pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall
constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the discharge of
this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a
default specified in Sections 5.01(d) and (e), such expenses, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under bankruptcy law.

 

SECTION 6.08       Replacement
of Trustee. The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to Securities of
one or more Series by so notifying the Company. No such resignation,
however, shall be effective until a successor Trustee has accepted its
appointment pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any Series may
remove the Trustee with respect to such Series by so notifying the Trustee
and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee if:

 

(a)   the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

 

(b)   the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent;

 

21

 

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

 

(d)   the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.

 

If
the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of
Trustee for any reason, with respect to the Securities of one or more Series,
the Company shall promptly appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such Series.

 

A
successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the
retiring Trustee and to the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of
the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor Trustee shall
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such Series. The successor Trustee shall mail a
notice of its succession to Securityholders so affected. The retiring Trustee
shall promptly transfer all funds and property held by it as Trustee to the
successor Trustee, subject to the lien provided for in Section 6.07.

 

If
a successor Trustee does not take office within 30 days after the retiring
Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
each affected Series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

If
the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10, any Securityholder may petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.09       Successor
Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into or
transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust business or assets to
another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without
any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.10       Eligibility;
Disqualification. The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve
as Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.

 

SECTION 6.11       Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed 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 indicated therein.

 

ARTICLE 7

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

 

SECTION 7.01       Evidence
of Action Taken by Securityholders.

 

(a)   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken
by a specified percentage in principal amount of the Securityholders of any or
all Series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage of Securityholders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee. Proof of execution of any instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and,
subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the
Company, if made in the manner provided in this Article 7.

 

(b)   The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
register.

 

22

 

SECTION 7.02       Proof of
Execution of Instruments. Subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the execution of
any instrument by a Securityholder or his agent or proxy may be proved in
accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed
by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be satisfactory to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.03       Holders to
Be Treated as Owners. The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or
the Trustee may deem and treat the person in whose name any Security shall be
registered upon the Security register for such Series as the absolute
owner of such Security (whether or not such Security shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the
purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of and interest
on such Security and for all other purposes. Neither the Company nor the
Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary. All payments made to any such person, or upon his
order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the amounts so paid, effectual to
satisfy and discharge the liability for amounts payable upon any such Security.

 

SECTION 7.04       Securities
Owned by Company Deemed Not Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of
the requisite aggregate principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or
all Series have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this
Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the
Securities with respect to which such determination is being made, or by any
person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities
with respect to which such determination is being made, shall be disregarded
and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. For
the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on
any such direction, consent or waiver, only Securities that the Trustee knows
are so owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned that have been
pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes
to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect
to such Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor
upon the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or
controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or
any other obligor on the Securities.

 

SECTION 7.05       Right of
Revocation of Action Taken. At any time prior to the evidencing to the Trustee,
as provided in Section 7.01, of the taking of any action by the Holders of
the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series specified
in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the
serial number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial
numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action,
by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of
holding as provided in this Article 7, may 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 Securities issued in
exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any
notation in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by
the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of any Series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the
Securities affected by such action.

 

ARTICLE 8

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

 

SECTION 8.01       Supplemental
Indentures Without Consent of Securityholders. The Company, when authorized by
a resolution of its Board of Directors, and the Trustee for the Securities of
any Series from time to time and at any time may enter into an indenture
or indentures supplemental hereto, which shall conform to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof, in form
satisfactory to such Trustee, for one or more of the following purposes:

 

(a)   to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or
pledge any property or assets to the Trustee as security for the Securities of
one or more Series or to provide that any of the Company’s obligations
under any Series of the Securities or this Indenture shall be guaranteed
and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of such security
or guarantee;

 

23

 

(b)   to evidence the succession of another Person
to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article 9;

 

(c)   to add to the covenants of the Company such
further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of
the Holders of Securities of any Series and, if such additional covenants
are to be for the benefit of less than all the Series of Securities,
stating that such covenants are being added solely for the benefit of such
Series;

 

(d)   to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture that
may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or
in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental
indenture as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and that
shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Securities;

 

(e)   to establish the form or terms of Securities
of any Series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; or

 

(f)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more Series and to 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 the one Trustee, pursuant
to the requirements of Section 6.08.

 

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

 

Any
supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section 8.01
may be executed without the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at
the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.02.

 

SECTION 8.02       Supplemental
Indentures with Consent of Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as
provided in Article 7) of the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each Series affected
by such supplemental indenture, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of
its Board of Directors, and the Trustee for such Series of Securities,
from time to time and at any time, may enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto, which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act as in force at the date of execution thereof, for the purpose of
adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying
in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such Series.
No such supplemental indenture, however, shall:

 

(a)   extend the final maturity date of any
Security, reduce the principal amount thereof, reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest thereon, reduce any amount payable on redemption
thereof, impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for
payment thereof or, if the Securities provide therefor, affect any right of
repayment at the option of the Securityholder without the consent of the Holder
of each Security so affected;

 

(b)   reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities
of any Series, the consent of the Holders of which is required for any such
supplemental indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so
affected; or

 

24

 

(c)   reduce the amount of principal payable upon
acceleration of the maturity date of any Original Issue Discount Security.

 

Upon
the request of the Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board
of Directors certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the
Company authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon
the filing with the Trustee for such Series of Securities of evidence of
the consent of the Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any,
required by Section 7.01, the Trustee for such Series of Securities
shall join with the Company in the execution of such supplemental indenture. If
such supplemental indenture affects such Trustee’s own rights, duties or
immunities under this Indenture or otherwise, such Trustee in its discretion
may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into such supplemental indenture.

 

It
shall not be necessary for the consent of the Securityholders under this Section 8.02
to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

 

Promptly
after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section 8.02, the Company
shall give notice in the manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.04
to the Holders of Securities of each Series affected thereby at their
addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, setting forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the
Company to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair
or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

 

SECTION 8.03       Effect of Supplemental Indenture.
Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions
hereof, this Indenture shall 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 each 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 8.04       Documents
to Be Given to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01
and 6.02, shall receive an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 8
complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 8.05       Notation
on Securities in Respect of Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any Series authenticated
and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 8 may bear, upon the direction of the Company,
a notation in form satisfactory to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series as
to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture. If the Company or
the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any Series so modified
as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and 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 Outstanding Securities of such Series.

 

ARTICLE 9

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

 

SECTION 9.01       Company May Consolidate,
Etc. on Certain Terms. The Company may consolidate with or merge with or into,
or sell, convey or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other
corporation; provided that in any such case:

 

(a)   either the Company shall be the continuing
Person, or the successor Person shall be organized and validly existing under
the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof or the District
of Columbia and shall expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the
principal of and interest on all the Securities according to their
tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance

 

25

 

of all of the covenants and conditions of this Indenture to be
performed or observed by the Company by supplemental indenture satisfactory to
the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such Person, and

 

(b)   the Company or such successor Person, as the
case may be, shall not be in material default immediately after such
consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance or lease in the performance or
observance of any such covenant or condition of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 9.02       Successor Person Substituted. In
case of any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and
following such an assumption by the successor Person, such successor Person
shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if
it had been named herein. Such successor Person may cause to be signed, and may
issue either in its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such
succession any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder that shall not have
been signed by the Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of
such successor Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms,
conditions and limitations in this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate
and shall make available for delivery any Securities that shall have been signed
and delivered by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication,
and any Securities which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be
signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so
issued shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this
Indenture as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with
the terms of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at
the date of the execution
hereof.

 

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

 

In
the event of any such sale or conveyance, the Company (or any successor Person
which shall theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article 9)
shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and
the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

 

SECTION 9.03       Opinion of
Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and
6.02, shall receive an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 11.05,
as conclusive evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or
conveyance, and any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution,
complies with the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

SECTION 10.01     Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture.

 

(a)   If at any time:

 

(i)    the Company shall have paid or caused to be
paid the principal of and interest on all the Outstanding Securities of any Series as
and when the same shall have become due and payable,

 

(ii)   the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any Series theretofore
authenticated (other than any Securities of such Series which have been
destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as
provided in Section 2.09) or

 

(iii)  all the Securities of such Series not theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and payable, or
are by their terms to become due and payable 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 (B) the Company shall
have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds the entire amount or Government Obligations maturing as to principal and
interest in such amounts and at such times as

 

26

 

will ensure the availability of
funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all Securities of such Series (other
than any Securities of such Series which shall have been destroyed, lost
or stolen and which shall have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.09)
not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, including principal
and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity as the case may be,
and if, in any such case, the Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all
other amounts payable hereunder by the Company with respect to Securities of
such Series, then this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with
respect to Securities of such Series (except as to (1) rights of
registration of transfer and exchange, (2) substitution of mutilated,
defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (3) rights of Holders to
receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the original
stated due dates therefor and remaining rights of the Holders to receive
mandatory sinking fund payments, if any, (4) the rights, obligations and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (5) the rights of the
Securityholders of such Series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to the
property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them). Subject
to Section 10.05, the Trustee, on demand of the Company accompanied by an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the cost and expense of
the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging such satisfaction
of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such Series. The Company will
reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses thereafter reasonably and
properly incurred and will compensate the Trustee for any services thereafter
reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in connection with this
Indenture and the Securities of such Series.

 

(b)   In addition to its rights to discharge this Indenture
pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Company may defease the covenants
applicable to any Series of Securities,
as provided in this Section 10.01(b), by complying with the provisions of
this Section 10.01(b):

 

(i)    The Company, at its option at any time, may
exercise its right to elect to have defeasance under Section 10.01(b)(ii) be
applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Series; provided that provision is
made for such right pursuant to Section 2.03 and the applicable conditions
thereto as set forth in this Section 10.01(b) have been satisfied.

 

(ii)   Upon the Company’s exercise of the right
referenced in Section 10.01(b)(i) applicable to this Section 10.01(b)(ii),
the Company may terminate its obligations under the Outstanding Securities of
any Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series on the date
the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b)(iii) are satisfied (“DEFEASANCE”).
For this purpose, defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding
Securities of such Series and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned, except for the following: (A) the rights of Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such Series to receive payments in respect of the principal
of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (B) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.08,
2.09, 3.02, 6.07, 10.04 and 10.05; (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and (D) this Section 10.01(b).

 

(iii)  The following shall be the conditions to the
application of Section 10.01(b)(ii) to the Outstanding Securities of
such Series:

 

(A)  The Company shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee under the terms of an irrevocable trust agreement,
as trust funds in trust solely for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of Securities of such Series, (I) cash in the
currency or currency unit required, (II) Government Obligations maturing
as to principal and interest in such amounts (payable in the currency in which
the Securities of such Series are payable) and at such times as are
sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Outstanding Securities
of such Series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be, or (III) a
combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public

 

27

 

accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, (x) the
principal of and each installment of interest, if any, on the Outstanding
Securities of such Series on the stated maturity of such principal
or installment of interest, if any, and (y) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such
Series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. Such irrevocable trust
agreement shall include, among other things, (a) provision for the
payments referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of the immediately
preceding sentence, (b) the payment of the reasonable expenses of the
Trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust
provisions, (c) rights of registration of transfer, substitution and
exchange of Securities of such Series in accordance with the terms stated
in this Indenture and (d) continuation of the rights and obligations and
immunities of the Trustee as against the Holders of Securities of such Series as
stated in this Indenture.

 

(B)   No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of
time or both would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be continuing on the
date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.01(d) and 5.01(e) are
concerned, at any time during
the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being
understood that this condition shall not be deemed satisfied until the
expiration of such period).

 

(C)   Such defeasance shall not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture with respect to
the Securities of such Series.

 

(D)  The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Securityholders of such Series will
not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such deposit and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the
case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred, and which Opinion of
Counsel must be based upon (x) a ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service to the same effect or (y) a change in applicable U.S. federal
income tax law after the date of the Indenture such that a ruling is no longer
required.

 

(E)   The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the deposit and defeasance
contemplated by this Section 10.01(b) have been complied with.

 

SECTION 10.02     Application
by Trustee of Funds Deposited for Payment of Securities. Subject to Section 10.04,
all funds deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be
held in trust and applied by it to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent, to the Holders of the particular Securities of such Series for
the payment or redemption of which such funds have been deposited with the
Trustee, of all amounts due and to become due thereon for principal and
interest; but such funds need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

 

SECTION 10.03     Repayment of Amounts Held by Paying
Agent. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to Securities of any
Series, all amounts then held by any Paying Agent (other than the Company)
under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Series of
Securities, upon written demand of the Company, shall be paid to the Trustee
and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such amounts.

 

SECTION 10.04     Return of
Unclaimed Amounts Held by Trustee and Paying Agent. Any amounts deposited with
or paid to the Trustee or any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) for the payment of the principal of or interest on any
Security of any Series and not applied but remaining unclaimed for two
years after the date upon which such principal or interest shall have become
due and payable, upon the

 

28

 

written
request of the Company, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, promptly shall be
repaid to the Company by the Trustee for such Series or such Paying Agent
(except that with respect to any amounts then held by the Company in trust as
its own Paying Agent no such request need be given and at such time the Company
shall be discharged from its duty to hold such amounts in trust as Paying
Agent). The Holder of the Security of such Series, unless otherwise required by
mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
laws, thereafter shall look only to the Company for any payment which such
Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any
Paying Agent with respect to such amounts thereupon shall cease. Anything in
this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company
any funds or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 10.01(b)(iii) which,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect such defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 10.05     Reinstatement
of Company’s Obligations. If the Trustee is unable to apply any funds or
Government Obligations in accordance with Section 10.01 by reason of any
legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental
authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of any Series for
which such application is prohibited shall be revived and reinstated as if no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 until such time as the
Trustee is permitted to apply all such funds or Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 10.01. If the Company has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any of such Securities because of the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Securityholders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds or
Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

 

ARTICLE 11

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 11.01     Incorporators,
Shareholders, Officers and Directors of Company Exempt from Individual
Liability. No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in this Indenture or in any Security shall be had against any incorporator
as such or against any past, present or future shareholder, officer or director
of the Company or of any successor, either directly or through the
Company or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or constitutional
provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any legal or equitable
proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly waived and released
by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.

 

SECTION 11.02     Provisions of Indenture for the Sole
Benefit of Parties and Securityholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Securities, expressed or implied,
shall give or be construed to give to any Person, firm or corporation, other
than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder and
the Holders of the Securities any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision herein contained, all
such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto
and their successors and of the Holders of the Securities.

 

SECTION 11.03     Successors
and Assigns of Company Bound by Indenture. All the covenants, stipulations,
promises and agreements in this Indenture contained by or on behalf of the
Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

SECTION 11.04     Notices and
Demands on Company, Trustee and Securityholders. Any notice or demand that by
any provision of this Indenture is required or permitted to be given or served
by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities to or on the Company may be
given or served by being deposited postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as
otherwise specifically provided herein) addressed (until another address of the
Company is filed by the Company with the Trustee) to Fluor Corporation, 6700
Las Colinas Boulevard, Irving, Texas 75039, Attention: Chief Financial
Officer. Any notice, direction, request or demand by the Company or any
Securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be deemed to have been sufficiently
given or made, for all purposes, if given or made at the Corporate Trust
Office.

 

29

 

Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall
be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed by first-class mail, postage prepaid to such Holders as
their names and addresses appear in the Security register within the time
prescribed. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either
before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such
notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such
filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken
in reliance upon such waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given by
mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so
mailed to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner
herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

 

In
case, by reason of the suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service,
it shall be impracticable to mail notice to the Company and Securityholders
when such notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this
Indenture, then any manner of giving such notice as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.

 

SECTION 11.05     Officers’
Certificates and Opinions of Counsel; Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon
any application or demand by the Company to the Trustee to take any action
under any of the provisions of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any,
provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed action have been
complied with and an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such
counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except
that in the case of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing
of such documents is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture
relating to such particular application or demand, no additional certificate or
opinion need be furnished.

 

Each
certificate or opinion provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the
Trustee with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in
this Indenture shall include:

 

(a)   a statement that the person making such
certificate or opinion has read such covenant or condition;

 

(b)   a brief statement as to the nature and scope
of the examination or investigation upon which the statements or opinions
contained in such certificate or opinion are based;

 

(c)   a statement that, in the opinion of such
person, he or she has made such examination or investigation as is necessary to
enable him or her to express an informed opinion as to whether or not such
covenant or condition has been complied with; and

 

(d)   a statement as to whether or not, in the
opinion of such person, such condition or covenant has been complied with.

 

Any
certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or
representations by counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which his
certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or
in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous. Any
certificate, statement or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as it
relates to factual matters or information with respect to which is in the
possession of the Company, upon the certificate, statement or opinion of or
representations by an officer or officers of the Company, unless such counsel
knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations with
respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be
based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know that the same are erroneous.

 

Any
certificate, statement or opinion of an officer of the Company or of counsel
may be based, insofar as it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of or representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the
employ of the Company, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be,
knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the
accounting matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion may be
based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know that the same are erroneous.

SECTION 11.06     Payments
Due on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. Unless otherwise specified in a
Security, if the date of maturity of interest on or principal of the Securities
of any Series or the date fixed for redemption or repayment of any such
Security shall not be a Business Day, payment of interest or principal need not
be made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with
the same force and effect as if made on the date of maturity or the date fixed
for redemption, and no interest shall accrue for the period after such date.

 

SECTION 11.07     Conflict of
Any Provision of Indenture with Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that
any provision of this Indenture limits, qualifies or conflicts with another
provision included in this Indenture which is required by the Trust Indenture
Act, such required provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture
modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so
modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this
Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 11.08     New York
Law to Govern. This Indenture and each Security shall be deemed to be a
contract under the internal laws of the State of New York (other than
principles of law that would apply the law of another jurisdiction), and for
all purposes shall be construed and enforced in accordance with and governed by
the laws of said State.

 

SECTION 11.09     Counterparts.
This Indenture may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original; but such counterparts shall together constitute but one
and the same instrument.

 

SECTION 11.10     Effect of Headings; Gender. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the
construction hereof. The use of the masculine, feminine or neuter gender herein
shall not limit in any way the applicability of any term or provision hereof.

 

ARTICLE 12

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES AND SINKING FUNDS

 

SECTION 12.01     Applicability
of Article. The provisions of this Article 12 shall be applicable to the
Securities of any Series which are redeemable before their maturity or to
any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a Series, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such
Series.

 

SECTION 12.02     Notice of
Redemption; Partial Redemptions. Notice of redemption to the Holders of
Securities of any Series required to be redeemed or to be redeemed as a
whole or in part at the option of the Company shall be given by giving notice
of such redemption as provided in Section 11.04, at least 30 days and not
more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption to such Holders of
Securities of such Series. Failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the
notice to the Holder of any Security of a Series designated for redemption
as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the
redemption of any other Security of such Series.

 

The
notice of redemption to each such Holder shall specify the date fixed for
redemption, the “CUSIP” number or numbers for such Securities, the redemption
price, the Place or Places of Payment, that payment will be made upon
presentation and surrender of such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant
to the mandatory or optional sinking fund, or both, if such be the case, that
interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in
such notice, that on and after said date interest thereon or on the portions
thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue and, if applicable, that a Holder
of Securities who desires to convert Securities for redemption must satisfy the
requirements for conversion contained in such Securities, the then existing
conversion price or rate and the date and time when the option to convert shall
expire. If less than all of the Securities of any Series are to be
redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the numbers of the Securities
of such Series to be redeemed. In case any Security of a Series is to
be redeemed in part, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the
principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the
date fixed for redemption, 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.

 

31

 

The
notice of redemption of Securities of any Series to be redeemed at the
option of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company’s
request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company. If such
notice is to be given by the Trustee, the Company shall provide notice of such
redemption to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). If
such notice is given by the Company, the Company shall provide a copy of such
notice given to the Holders of such redemption to the Trustee at least three
Business Days prior to the date such notice is given to such Holders, but in
any event at least 30 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a
shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).

 

Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, not later than the
redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given as provided in this
Section 12.02, the Company will have on deposit with the Trustee or with
one or more Paying Agents (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying
Agent, set aside, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 3.03)
funds available on such date (or other forms of property, if permitted by the
terms of the Securities of such Series) sufficient to redeem on the redemption
date all the Securities of such Series so called for redemption at the
appropriate redemption price, together with accrued interest to the date fixed
for redemption. If less than all the Outstanding Securities of a Series are
to be redeemed, the Company will deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior
to the date fixed for redemption an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate
principal amount of Securities to be redeemed (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee).

 

If
less than all the Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee
shall select, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities
of such Series to be redeemed in whole or in part and the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities of such Series selected
for redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such Series selected
for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. However,
if less than all the Securities of any Series with differing issue dates,
interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its
sole discretion shall select the particular securities to be redeemed and shall
notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 60 days prior to the relevant
redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).
Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of such Series or any multiple thereof. For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any Series shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

 

SECTION 12.03     Payment of
Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as
above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities 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 on and after said date (unless the Company
shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price,
together with interest accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or
portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. Except
as provided in Sections 6.01 and 10.04, such Securities shall cease from and
after the date fixed for redemption to be entitled to any benefit or security
under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of
such Securities except the right to receive the redemption price thereof and
unpaid interest to the date fixed for redemption. On presentation and surrender
of such Securities at a Place of Payment specified in said notice, said
Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the
Company at the applicable redemption price, together with interest accrued
thereon to the date fixed for redemption. If for any Securities the date fixed
for redemption is a regular interest payment date, payment of interest becoming
due on such date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered
as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.07.

 

If
any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof
for redemption, the principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear
interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate of interest borne by
the Security.

 

Upon
presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery to or on the
order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

 

32

 

SECTION 12.04     Exclusion of Certain Securities from
Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from
eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration
and certificate number in a
written statement signed by an authorized officer of the Company and delivered
to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the last date on which notice of
redemption may be given as being owned of record and beneficially by, and not
pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the Company or (b) an entity
specifically identified in such written statement as directly or indirectly
controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with
the Company.

 

SECTION 12.05     Mandatory
and Optional Sinking Funds. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any Series is 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 referred to as an
“OPTIONAL SINKING FUND PAYMENT”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to
be made is referred to as the “SINKING FUND PAYMENT DATE”.

 

In
lieu of providing funds for all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund
payment with respect to any Series of Securities, the Company at its
option:

 

(a)   may deliver to the Trustee securities of such
Series theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption
pursuant to the mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for
Securities of such Series (not previously so credited) theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10;

 

(b)   may receive credit for optional sinking fund
payments (not previously so credited) made pursuant to this Section 12.05;
or

 

(c)   may receive credit for Securities of such Series (not
previously so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption
provision contained in the terms of such Series.

 

Securities
so delivered or credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the
sinking fund redemption price specified in such Securities.

 

On
or before the forty-fifth day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for
any Series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a
written statement (which need not contain the statements required by Section 11.05)
signed by an authorized officer of the Company which will:

 

(d)   specify the portion of the mandatory sinking
fund payment to be satisfied by delivery of funds, except as otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the Securities of such Series, and
the portion to be satisfied by delivery or credit of Securities of such Series;

 

(e)   state that none of the Securities of such Series for
which credit is sought has theretofore been so credited;

 

(f)    state that no defaults in the payment of
interest or Events of Default with respect to such Series have occurred
(which have not been waived or cured) and are continuing;

 

(g)   state whether or not the Company intends to
exercise its right to make an optional sinking fund payment with respect to
such Series and, if so, specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund
payment which the Company intends to pay on or before the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date; and

 

(h)   specify such sinking fund payment date.

 

33

 

Any
Securities of such Series to be credited and required to be delivered on
the Trustee in order for the Company to be entitled to credit therefor that
have not previously been delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for
cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10 to the Trustee with such written
statement. Such written statement shall be irrevocable. Upon its receipt by the
Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally obligated to make all the
payments, if any, therein referred to on or before the next succeeding sinking
fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or before any such forty-fifth
day, to deliver such written statement and Securities specified in this
paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default but shall constitute, on and
as of such date, the irrevocable election of the Company (i) that the
mandatory sinking fund payment for such Series due on the next succeeding
sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in funds without the option to
deliver or credit Securities of such Series in respect thereof and (ii) that
the Company will make no optional sinking fund payment with respect to such Series as
provided in this Section 12.05.

 

If
the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made
in funds on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused
balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made in funds shall exceed
$100,000 (or a lesser amount if the Company shall so request) with respect to
the Securities of any particular Series, such funds shall be applied on the
next succeeding sinking fund payment date to the redemption of Securities of
such Series at the sinking fund redemption price together with accrued
interest to the date fixed for redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 or
less and the Company makes no such request then it shall be carried over until
an amount in excess of $100,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the
manner provided in Section 12.02 and giving effect to any exclusions
required pursuant to Section 12.04, for redemption on such sinking fund
payment date a sufficient principal amount of Securities of such Series to
absorb, as nearly as may be possible, such funds and shall inform the Company
of the serial numbers of the Securities of such Series (or portions
thereof) so selected. The Trustee, in the name and at the expense of the
Company, shall cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such Series to
be given in substantially the manner provided in Section 12.02 for the
redemption of Securities of such Series. The amount of any sinking fund payments
not so applied or allocated to the redemption of Securities of such Series shall
be added to the next sinking fund payment for such Series and, together
with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.05.
Any and all sinking fund amounts held on the stated maturity date of the
Securities of any particular Series (or earlier, if such maturity is
accelerated) that are not held for the payment or redemption of particular
Securities of such Series shall be applied, together with other amounts,
if necessary, sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of,
and interest on, the Securities of such Series at maturity.

 

Unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03, not later than the sinking
fund payment date, the Company shall have paid to the Trustee or shall
otherwise provide funds available on such date for the payment of all principal
and interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be
redeemed on such sinking fund payment date.

 

The
Trustee shall not redeem or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a Series with
sinking fund amounts or mail or publish any notice of redemption of Securities
for such Series by operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of
a default in payment of interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default
except that, where the mailing or publication of notice of redemption of
Securities of any Series previously shall have been made, the Trustee
shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such Securities; provided that it shall
have received from the Company amounts sufficient for such redemption. Except
as aforesaid, any amounts in the sinking fund for Securities of such Series at
the time when any such default or Event of Default shall occur, and any amounts
thereafter paid into the sinking fund, during the continuance of such default
or Event of Default, shall be deemed to have been collected under Article 5
and held for the payment of all Securities of such Series. In case such Event
of Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.09 or the
default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment
date in any year, such amounts thereafter shall be applied on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section 12.05
to the redemption of such Securities.

 

SECTION 12.06     Repayment
at the Option of the Holders. Securities of any Series that are repayable
at the option of the Holders before their stated maturity shall be repaid in
accordance with the terms of the Securities of such Series.

 

The
repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the
Holder to require repayment of Securities before their stated maturity, for
purposes of Section 10.01, shall not operate as a payment, redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and
until the

 

34

 

Company, at its option,
shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such
Securities be cancelled.

 

SECTION 12.07     Conversion
Arrangement on Call for Redemption. In connection with any redemption of
Securities of any Series, the Company may arrange for the purchase and
conversion of any Securities of any Series called for redemption by an
agreement with one or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase
such Securities by paying to the Trustee or the Paying Agent in trust for the
Holders of such Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m. New York time on the
redemption date, an amount not less than the redemption price, together with
interest, if any, accrued to the redemption date of such Securities, in
immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Article 12, the obligation of the Company to pay the redemption
price of such Securities, including all accrued interest, if any, shall be
deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount is so paid by
such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any Securities not duly
surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof, at the option of the
Company, may be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law, acquired by
such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such purchasers for
conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business on the last
day on which such Securities called for redemption may be converted in
accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Securities, subject to
payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities
are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it
would pay funds deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of Securities
of such Series. Without the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s prior written
consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the
purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect
any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee and
the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture. The Company agrees to
indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent from, and hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with
any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of Securities of any Series between
the Company and such purchasers, including the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee and the Paying Agent in the defense of any claim or liability
arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of any of
their powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this Indenture.

 

ARTICLE 13

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

 

SECTION 13.01     Applicability of Article. Securities
of any Series that are convertible into Common Shares at the option of the
Holder of such Securities shall be convertible in accordance with their terms
and, unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for the
Securities of any Series, in accordance with this Article 13. Each
reference in this Article 13 to “a Security” or “the Securities” refers to the Securities of the
particular Series that is convertible into Common Shares. If more than one
Series of Securities with conversion privileges are Outstanding at any
time, the provisions of this Article 13 shall be applied separately to
each such Series.

 

SECTION 13.02     Right of
Holders to Convert Securities into Common Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.07
and this Article 13, at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security of
any Series that is convertible into Common Shares, or any portion of the
principal amount thereof which is $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,
may be converted into duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable Common Shares at any time during the period specified in the
Securities of such Series, or in case such Security or portion thereof shall
have been called for redemption, then in respect of such Security or portion
thereof until (unless the Company shall default in payment due upon the
redemption thereof) the close of business on the redemption date (except that
in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder, if specified in the terms
of the relevant Security, such right shall terminate upon the Company’s receipt
of written notice of the exercise of such option), as specified in such
Security, at the conversion price or conversion rate for each $1,000 principal
amount of Securities (such initial conversion rate reflecting an initial conversion
price specified in such Security) in effect on the conversion date, or, in case
an adjustment in the conversion price has taken place pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 13, then at the applicable conversion price as
so adjusted, upon surrender of the Security or Securities, the principal amount
of which is so to be converted, to the Company at any time during usual
business hours at the office or agency to be maintained by it in accordance
with the provisions of Section 3.02, accompanied by a written notice of
election to convert as provided in Section 13.03. If the Holder requests
that the Common Shares be registered in a

 

35

 

name other than that of the
Holder, such notice also shall be accompanied by a written instrument or
instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee,
duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
All Securities surrendered for conversion shall, if surrendered to the Company
or any conversion agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and
cancelled by it, or shall, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled by it,
as provided in Section 2.10.

 

 The initial
conversion price or conversion rate in respect of a Series of Securities
shall be as specified in the Securities of such Series. The conversion price or
conversion rate will be subject to adjustment on the terms set forth in Section 13.05
or such other or different terms, if any, as may be specified by
Section 2.03 for Securities of such Series. Provisions of this Indenture
that apply to conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of any
portion of such Security.

 

SECTION 13.03     Issuance of Common Shares on
Conversions. As promptly as practicable after the surrender, as herein
provided, of any Security or Securities for conversion into Common Shares, the Company shall deliver
or cause to be delivered at the office or agency to be maintained by it in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 to or upon the written
order of the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered a certificate
or certificates representing the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares into which such Security or
Securities may be converted in accordance with the terms thereof and the
provisions of this Article 13. Prior to delivery of such certificate or
certificates, the Company shall require written notice at its said office or
agency from the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered stating
that the Holder irrevocably elects to convert such Security or Securities, or,
if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, stating
the portion thereof to be converted. Such notice shall also state the name or
names (with address and social security or other taxpayer identification
number) in which said certificate or certificates are to be issued. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that such Security or
Securities shall have been surrendered for conversion and such notice shall
have been received by the Company or the Trustee and such conversion shall be
at the conversion price in effect at such time. The rights of the Holder of
such Security or Securities as a Holder shall cease at such time, and the
Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon conversion of such
Security or Securities shall be treated for all purposes as having become either
record holder or holders of such Common Shares at such time. In the case of any
Security of any Series that is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request and at the
Company’s expense, the Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder thereof, as requested by such Holder, a new Security
or Securities of such Series of authorized denominations in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Security.

 

 If the last
day on which such Security may be converted is not a Business Day in a place
where the conversion agent for that Security is located, such Security may be
surrendered to that conversion agent on the next succeeding day that is a
Business Day.

 

 The Company
shall not be required to deliver certificates for Common Shares upon conversion
while its stock transfer books are closed for a meeting of shareholders or for
the payment of dividends or for any other purpose, but certificates for Common
Shares shall be delivered as soon as the stock transfer books shall again be
opened.

 

SECTION 13.04     No Payment or Adjustment for Interest or
Dividends. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for
Securities of such Series, Securities surrendered for conversion into Common
Shares during the period from the close of business on any regular record date
or special record date next preceding any interest payment date to the opening
of business on such interest payment date (except Securities called for
redemption on a redemption date within such period) when surrendered for
conversion must be accompanied by payment, by certified or official bank check
to the order of the Company payable in clearing house funds at the location
where the Securities are surrendered, of an amount equal to the interest
thereon which the Holder is entitled to receive on such interest payment date.
Payment of interest shall be made, on such interest payment date or such other
payment date (as set forth in Section 2.07), as the case may be, to the
Holder of the Securities as of such regular record date or special record date,
as applicable. Except where Securities surrendered for conversion must be
accompanied by payment as described above, no interest on converted Securities
will be payable by the Company on any interest payment date subsequent to the
date of conversion. No other payment or adjustment for interest or
dividends is to be made upon conversion. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon
conversion of any Original Issue 

 

36

 

Discount Security, the fixed number of Common
Shares into which such Security is convertible delivered by the Company to the
Holder thereof shall be applied, first, to the portion attributable to the
accrued original issue discount relating to the period from the date of
issuance to the date of conversion of such Security, and, second, to the
portion attributable to the balance of the principal amount of such Security.

 

SECTION 13.05     Adjustment of Conversion Price. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such
Series, the conversion price for Securities convertible into Common Shares
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)   If
the Company shall (x) pay a dividend or make a distribution on Common
Shares in Common Shares, (y) subdivide the outstanding Common Shares into
a greater number of shares or (z) combine the outstanding Common Shares
into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price for the Securities of
such Series shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any such Security
thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the number
of Common Shares that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of any of the events described above had such Security been converted
immediately prior to the record date in the case of a dividend or the effective
date in the case of subdivision or combination. An adjustment made pursuant to
this Section 13.05(a) shall become effective immediately after the
record date in the case of a dividend, except as provided in
Section 13.05(h), and shall become effective immediately after the
effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

 

(b)   If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of
Common Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the
record date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a
price per share less than the current market price per share of Common Shares
(as defined for purposes of this Section 13.05(b) in
Section 13.05(e)), at the record date for the determination of
shareholders entitled to receive such rights or warrants, the conversion price
in effect immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the same shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect
immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which
shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the
number of Common Shares which the aggregate offering price of the total number
of Common Shares so offered would purchase at such current market price, and
the denominator of which shall be the number of Common Shares outstanding on
such record date plus the number of additional Common Shares receivable upon
exercise of such rights or warrants. Such adjustment shall be made successively
whenever any such rights or warrants are issued, and shall become effective
immediately, except as provided in Section 13.05(h), after such record
date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle the Holders of the
Securities of such Series to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at
less than such current market price, and in determining the aggregate offering
price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into account any
consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants plus the
exercise price thereof, the value of such consideration or exercise price, as
the case may be, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors.

 

(c)   If
the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares any shares of
capital stock of the Company (other than Common Shares) or evidences of its
indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid from
retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for or
purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred to
in Section 13.05(b)) (any of the foregoing being herein in this
Section 13.05(c) called the “SPECIAL SECURITIES”), the conversion
price shall be adjusted as provided in the next sentence unless the Company
elects to reserve such Special Securities for distribution to the Holders of
Securities of such Series upon the conversion so that any such Holder
converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to
the Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of
Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had,
immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special
Securities, converted Securities into Common Shares. The conversion price, as
adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price
in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the current market price per share (as defined for purposes of
this Section 13.05(c) in Section 13.05(e)) of Common Shares on
the record date mentioned above less the then fair market value (as determined
by the Board of Directors, 

 

37

 

whose determination shall, if made in good
faith, be conclusive) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed
applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be the
current market price per Common Shares (as defined in Section 13.05(e)).
In the event the then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of
the Special Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal
to or greater than the current market price per Common Share (as defined in
Section 13.05(e)) on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the
foregoing adjustment, adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of
Securities of such Series shall have the right to receive the amount and
kind of Special Securities such holder would have received had he converted
such Securities immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of
the Special Securities. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately,
except as provided in Section 13.05(h), after the record date for the
determination of shareholders entitled to receive such distribution.

 

(d)   If, pursuant to Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c), the
conversion price shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a
dividend, or made a distribution, on the outstanding Common Shares in the form
of any right or warrant to purchase securities of the Company, or the Company
has issued any such right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such
unexercised right or unexercised warrant, the conversion price shall forthwith
be adjusted to equal the conversion price that would have applied had such
right or warrant never been declared, distributed or issued.

 

(e)   For the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(b),
the current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the reported last sales prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days
(as defined below) commencing 45 Trading Days before the date in question. For
the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(c), the current market
price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
reported last sales prices for the ten consecutive Trading Days before the date
in question. The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes
of Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales
price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of
the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if the Common Shares
are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or
admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, on the Nasdaq National Market or, if the Common Shares are
not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New
York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares
selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or, if no such quotations
are available, the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined by a
New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common
Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors. As used herein, the
term “Trading Day” with respect to the Common Shares means (x) if the
Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange
or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock
Exchange or such other national securities exchange is open for business,
(y) if the Common Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day
on which trades may be made on the Nasdaq National Market or
(z) otherwise, any day other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which
banking institutions in the State of New York are authorized or obligated by
law or executive order to close.

 

(f)    No
adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless such adjustment
would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such price. Any
adjustments that by reason of this Section 13.05(f) are not required
to be made, however, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any
subsequent adjustment. Any adjustment required to be made in accordance with
the provisions of this Article 13 shall be made not later than such time as may be required in
order to preserve the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of
Common Shares. All calculations under this Article 13 shall be made to the
nearest cent or to the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may
be, with one-half cent and one-two hundredth of a share, respectively, being
rounded upward. The Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the
conversion price, in addition to those required by this Section 13.05, as
it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock
dividend, subdivision of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase
stock or securities or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends)
made by the Company to its shareholders shall not be taxable.

 

38

 

(g)   Whenever the conversion price is adjusted, the Company shall file
with the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and with the
office or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of
such Series pursuant to Section 3.02, an Officers’ Certificate,
setting forth the conversion price after such adjustment and setting forth a
brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall
be conclusive evidence of the correctness of such adjustment. Neither the
Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with
respect to any such certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein,
except to exhibit said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a
Security of such Series desiring to inspect the same. The Company shall
promptly cause a notice setting forth the adjusted conversion price to be
mailed to the Holders of Securities of such Series, as their names and
addresses appear upon the Security register.

 

(h)   In any case in which this Section 13.05 provides that an
adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event,
the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (y) issuing to
the Holder of any Security of such Series converted after such record date
and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable
upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over
and above the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect
to such adjustment and (z) paying to such holder any amount in cash in
lieu of any fractional Common Shares pursuant to Section 13.06.

 

SECTION 13.06     No Fractional Shares to Be Issued. No
fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon any conversion of Securities. If
more than one Security of any Series shall be surrendered for conversion
at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Common Shares which shall be
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. Instead of a
fraction of a Common Share which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of
any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment (computed to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being
rounded upward) in respect of such fraction of a share in an amount equal to
the same fractional interest of the reported last sales price (as defined in
Section 13.05(e)) of the Common Shares on the Trading Day (as defined in
Section 13.05(e)) next preceding the day of conversion.

 

SECTION 13.07     Preservation of Conversion Rights
upon Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance. In case of any consolidation of
the Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other
than a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving
corporation), or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially
all of the assets of the Company, the corporation formed by such consolidation
or the corporation into which the Company shall have been merged or the
corporation which shall have acquired such assets, as the case may be, shall
execute and deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in accordance with the provisions of Articles 8
and 9 as they relate to supplemental indentures, providing that the Holder of
each Outstanding Security that was convertible into Common Shares shall have
the right thereafter to convert such Security into the kind and amount of
shares of stock and other securities and property, including cash, receivable
upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the number of
Common Shares into which such Securities might have been converted immediately
prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer. Such supplemental
indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall be as nearly equivalent as
may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this Article 13.
Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall have any liability or
responsibility for determining the correctness of any provision contained in
any such supplemental indenture relating either to the kind or amount of shares
of stock or other securities or property receivable by Holders of the
Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, or to any adjustment to be made with
respect thereto and, subject to the provisions of Section 313 of the Trust
Indenture Act, may accept as conclusive evidence of the correctness of any such
provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate
with respect thereto and an Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters
related thereto. If in the case of any such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, the stock or other securities and property receivable by a Holder of
the Securities includes stock or other securities and property of a corporation
other than the successor or purchasing corporation, then such supplemental
indenture shall also be executed by such other corporation and shall contain
such additional provisions to protect the interests of the Holders of the
Securities as the Board of Directors shall reasonably consider necessary. The
above provisions of this Section 13.07 shall similarly apply to successive
consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.

 

39

 

SECTION 13.08     Notice to Holders of the Securities of a
Series Prior to Taking Certain Types of Action. With respect to the
Securities of any Series, in case:

 

(a)   the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common
Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of its capital
stock or of any other right;

 

(b)   the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of
Common Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (except for cash dividends
or distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company);

 

(c)   of any subdivision or combination of Common Shares or of any
consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval
by the shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of
all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

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

 

 the Company
shall cause to be filed with the Trustee and at the office or agency maintained
for the purpose of conversion of Securities of such Series pursuant to
Section 3.02, and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of
such Series at their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security
register, at least ten days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter
specified, a notice stating (i) the date as of which the holders of Common
Shares to be entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or distribution are
to be determined, or (ii) the date on which any such subdivision,
combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation,
winding up or other action is expected to become effective, and the date as of
which it is expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled
to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any,
deliverable upon such subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale,
transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action. The failure to
give the notice required by this Section 13.08 or any defect therein shall
not affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant,
subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or other action, or the vote upon any of the foregoing.

 

SECTION 13.09     Covenant to Reserve Shares for Issuance on
Conversion of Securities. The Company at all times will reserve and keep
available out of each class of its authorized Common Shares, free from
preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of
Securities of any Series as herein provided, such number of Common Shares
as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities of
such Series. The Company covenants that all Common Shares which shall be so
issuable, when issued or delivered, shall be duly and validly issued Common
Shares into which Securities of such Series are convertible, and shall be
fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to
preemptive rights and that, upon conversion, the appropriate capital stock
accounts of the Company will be duly credited.

 

SECTION 13.10     Compliance with Governmental Requirements.
If any Common Shares required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of
Securities hereunder require registration or listing with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law, pursuant to the
Securities Act or the Securities Exchange Act or any national or regional
securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time of
delivery of any Common Shares, the Company will use its best efforts to cause
such shares to be duly registered, listed or approved, as the case may be,
before such shares may be issued upon conversion.

 

SECTION 13.11     Payment of Taxes upon Certificates for
Shares Issued upon Conversion. The issuance of certificates for Common Shares
upon the conversion of Securities shall be made without charge to the
converting Holders for any tax (including documentary and stamp taxes) in
respect of the issuance and delivery of such certificates, and such
certificates shall be issued in the respective names of, or in such names as
may be directed by, the Holders of the Securities converted. The Company,
however, shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of
any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate in a
name other than that of the Holder of the Security converted, and the Company
shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificate unless or until the
Person or Persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the
Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax has been paid.

SECTION 13.12     Trustee’s Duties with Respect to Conversion
Provisions. The Trustee and any conversion agent shall have no duty to any
Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of
the conversion rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, in making the
same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with
respect to the registration under securities laws, listing, validity or value
(or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any other securities or
property, that at any time may be issued or delivered upon the conversion of
any Security, and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any
representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion
agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any payment
or to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or stock certificates or
other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose
of conversion. The Trustee and any conversion agent, subject to the provisions
of Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act, shall not be responsible for
any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in
this Article 13.

 

SECTION 13.13     Conversion of Securities into
Preferred Shares or Other Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
in this Article 13, the Company may issue Securities that are convertible
into Preferred Shares or other securities
of the Company, including Preferred Shares convertible into Common Shares, in
which case all terms and conditions relating to the conversion of Securities
into Preferred Shares or other securities, including any terms similar to those
provided in Sections 13.01 through 13.12, shall be as provided in or pursuant
to an appropriate resolution of the Board of Directors or in any indenture
supplemental hereto or as otherwise contemplated by Section 2.03.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused
this Indenture to be duly executed, as of the day and year first above written.

SECTION 2.04.  Authentication and Delivery of Securities. At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any Series executed by
the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a written order of
the Company, signed by its chief executive officer, president or any vice
president, and by its treasurer, secretary or any assistant treasurer or
assistant secretary for the authentication and delivery of such Securities and
the Trustee, in accordance with such order of the Company, shall authenticate
and deliver such Securities. In the case of Securities offered in a Periodic
Offering, however, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities
from time to time in accordance with Instructions or such other procedures
acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant to a supplemental
indenture or the written order of the Company delivered to the Trustee prior to
the time of the first authentication of Securities of such Series. At the time
of the first authentication of Securities of a Series that provides for
the issuance of Securities of that Series from time to time, and accepting
the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such
Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive and subject to Section 6.01
shall be fully protected in relying upon:

 

(a)   a copy of any resolution or resolutions of
the Board of Directors relating to such Series, in each case certified by the
secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company;

 

(b)   a supplemental indenture, if any;

 

(c)   an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the
form and terms of the Securities of such Series as required pursuant to
Sections 2.01 and 2.03, respectively, and prepared in accordance with Section 11.05;
and

 

(d)   an Opinion of Counsel, prepared in accordance
with Section 11.05, which shall state:

 

(i)    that the form or forms and
terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to a resolution
of the Board of Directors or by a supplemental indenture as permitted by
Sections 2.01 and 2.03 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

 

(ii)   that such Securities have
been duly authorized and, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and
issued by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in
such opinion of counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization or other laws
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and by
general equitable principles, regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law.

 

With respect to Securities
of a Series subject to a Periodic Offering, however, the Trustee may
conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such
Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the written order of the Company,
Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate and other documents delivered
pursuant to this Section 2.04 at or prior to the time of the first
authentication of Securities of such Series unless and until such written
order, Opinion of Counsel, Officers’ Certificate or other documents have been
superseded or revoked or expire by their terms.

 

7

 

The Trustee shall have the
right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Securities under this Section 2.04
if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the
Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture in a manner not
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.05.  Execution of Securities. The Securities shall
be signed on behalf of the Company by its chief executive officer, president or
any vice president and by its treasurer, secretary or any assistant treasurer
or assistant secretary, under its corporate seal. Such signatures may be the
manual or facsimile signatures of such officers. The seal of the Company may be
in the form of a facsimile thereof and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or
otherwise reproduced on the Securities. Typographical and other minor errors or
defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not
affect the validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

 

In case any officer of the
Company who shall have signed any of the Securities shall cease to be such
officer before the Security so signed shall be authenticated and delivered by
the Trustee or disposed of by the Company, such Security nevertheless may be
authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the person who signed such
Security had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Any Security may be
signed on behalf of the Company by such individuals as, at the actual date of
the execution of such Security, shall be the proper officers of the Company,
although at the date of the execution and delivery of this Indenture any such
individual was not such an officer.

 

SECTION 2.06.  Certificate of Authentication. Only such
Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially
in the form set forth in Section 2.02 and executed by the Trustee by the
manual signature of one of its authorized signatories shall be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such
certificate by the Trustee upon any Security executed by the Company 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.

 

SECTION 2.07.  Denomination and Date of Securities; Payments
of Interest. The Securities shall be issuable in denominations as shall be
specified as contemplated by Section 2.03. In the absence of any such
specification with respect to the Securities of any Series, Securities shall be
issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof, and
interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months. The Securities shall be numbered, lettered or otherwise distinguished
in such manner or in accordance with such plan as the officers of the Company
executing the same may determine with the approval of the Trustee as evidenced
by its execution and authentication thereof.

 

Each Security shall be dated
the date of its authentication.

 

Unless otherwise provided as
contemplated by Section 2.03, interest on any Security that is payable,
and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall
be paid to the person in whose name that Security, or one or more predecessor
securities, is registered at the close of business on the regular record date
for the payment of such interest.

 

The term “RECORD DATE” as
used with respect to any interest payment date (except for a date for payment
of defaulted interest) means the date specified as such in the terms of the
Securities of any particular Series or, if no such date is so specified,
the close of business on the fifteenth day preceding such interest payment
date, whether or not such record date is a Business Day.

 

Any interest on any Security
of any Series that is payable but not punctually paid or duly provided for
(“DEFAULTED INTEREST”) on any interest payment date shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the Registered Holder on the relevant record date by virtue of such
Holder having been a Holder on such record date. Such defaulted interest may be
paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (a) or
clause (b) below:

 

(a)   The Company may elect to make payment of any
defaulted interest to the persons in whose names any 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
Security of such Series and the date of the proposed payment and at the
same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee funds 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 funds when deposited shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such defaulted interest as
provided in this clause (a). Thereupon the Trustee promptly shall fix a special
record date for the payment of such defaulted interest in respect of Securities
of such Series, which shall be not more than 15 nor less than ten days prior to
the date of the proposed payment. The Trustee promptly shall 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 thereof to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Registered Holder at his address as it appears in the Security register, not
less than ten 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 in respect of Securities of
such Series shall be paid to the persons in whose names such Securities
(or their respective predecessor Securities) are registered on such special
record date and such defaulted interest shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following clause (b).

 

(b)   The Company may make payment of any defaulted
interest on the Securities of any Series in any other lawful manner not
inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of that Series 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 payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

 

Subject to the foregoing
provisions of this Section 2.07, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to
accrue, that were carried by such other Security.

 

SECTION 2.08.  Registration, Registration of Transfer and
Exchange. The Company will cause to be kept at each office or agency to be
maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02 a register or
registers (the “SECURITY REGISTER”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company will provide for the registration
and the registration of transfer of the Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed Security registrar for purposes of registering, and registering
transfers of, the Securities.

 

Upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security of any Series at any such office
or agency to be maintained for the purpose as provided in Section 3.02,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery in the name of the transferee or transferees, a new
Security or Securities of the same Series and of like tenor and containing
the same terms (other than the principal amount thereof, if more than one
Security is executed, authenticated and delivered with respect to any security
so presented, in which case the aggregate principal amount of the executed,
authenticated and delivered Securities shall equal the principal amount of the
Security presented in respect thereof) and conditions.

 

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

 

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

 

No service charge shall be
made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the
Company may require payment of an amount sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11,
8.05 or 12.03 not involving any transfer.

 

9

 

The Company shall not be
required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security
during a 15-day period prior to the day of mailing of the relevant notice of
redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not redeemed.

 

SECTION 2.09.  Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities. In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become
mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company shall
execute, and upon the written request of any officer of the Company, the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery a new Security of
the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount and with the same
terms and conditions, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in
exchange and substitution for the mutilated or defaced Security or in lieu of
and substitution for the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case
the applicant for a substitute Security shall furnish to the Company and to the
Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to indemnify and
defend and to save each of them harmless and, in every case of destruction,
loss or theft, evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

 

Upon the issuance of any
substitute Security, the Company may require the payment of an amount
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
relation thereto and any other expenses, including the reasonable fees and
expenses of the Trustee, connected therewith. In case any Security which has
matured or is about to mature or has been called for redemption in full shall
become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company,
instead of issuing a substitute Security, may pay or authorize the payment of
the same without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated or defaced
Security. The applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Company and to
the Trustee such security or indemnity as any of them may require to save each
of them harmless. In every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant
also shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of the
ownership thereof.

 

Every substitute Security of
any Series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.09 by
virtue of the fact that any Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of and shall be subject to all
the limitations of rights set forth in this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities of such Series duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned
upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing
provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of
mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and shall preclude any
and all other rights or remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute to the
contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments
or other securities without their surrender.

 

SECTION 2.10.  Cancellation of Securities. All Securities
surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or
for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, if
surrendered to the Company or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall 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 permitted by the provisions of this Indenture. The Company
at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold
and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. The
Trustee or its agent shall dispose of cancelled Securities held by it and
deliver a certificate of disposition to the Company. If the Company shall
acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

SECTION 2.11.  Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities for any Series, the Company may execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and make available for delivery temporary Securities
for such Series, which may be printed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in
each case in form reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Temporary Securities of
any Series may be issued in any authorized denomination and substantially
in the form of the definitive Securities of such Series but with such
omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary
Securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the reasonable
concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to
any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary
Security shall be executed by the Company and be authenticated by the Trustee
upon 

 

10

 

the same conditions and in
substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive
Securities. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall
furnish definitive securities of such Series and thereupon temporary Securities
of such Series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at
each office or agency to be maintained by the Company for that purpose pursuant
to Section 3.02, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make available for
delivery in exchange for such temporary Securities of such Series a like
aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same Series of
authorized denominations. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any Series shall
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities
of such Series.

 

SECTION 2.12.  Securities in Global Form. If Securities of a
Series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.03,
then, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 2.03(k) and Section 2.07,
such Security shall represent such of the Outstanding Securities of such Series as
shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the
aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon
and that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby
from time to time may be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a
Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in
the amount, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may be made by the
Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as
shall be specified therein or in the Company order to be delivered to the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.04,
the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global form
in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons
specified therein or in the applicable Company order. If a Company order pursuant
to Section 2.04 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any
instructions by the Company with respect to endorsement or delivery or
redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply
with Section 11.05 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel.

 

Unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 2.03, payment of principal of and any interest
on any Security in definitive global form shall be made to the Person or
Persons specified therein.

 

Except as provided in the
preceding paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and
the Trustee shall treat a Person as the Holder of such principal amount of
outstanding Securities represented by a definitive global Security as shall be
specified in a written statement of the Holder of such definitive global
Security.

 

SECTION 2.13.  CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the
Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers if then generally in use and, if so, the
Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to
Holders. Any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the
correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained
in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other
identification numbers printed on the Securities. No such redemption shall be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company promptly
will notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY

 

SECTION 3.01.  Payment of Principal and Interest. The
Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each particular Series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of, and interest on, each of the Securities of such Series in

Indenture.

 

SECTION 3.02.  Offices for Payment, Etc. So long as any of
the Securities remain outstanding, the Company will maintain the following for
each Series: an office or agency where the Securities may be presented for
payment or conversion; where the Securities may be presented for registration
of transfer and for exchange; and where notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities or of this Indenture may be served. The
Company will give to the Trustee written notice of the location of any such
office or agency and of any change of location thereof. In case the Company
shall fail to so designate or maintain any such office or agency or shall fail
to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof,
presentations and demands may be made and notices may be served at the
Corporate Trust Office. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03,
the Trustee is hereby appointed Paying Agent.

 

11

 

SECTION 3.03.  Paying Agents. Whenever the Company shall
appoint a Paying Agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any Series, it will cause 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 3.03:

 

(a)   that it will hold all amounts received by it
as such Paying Agent for the payment of the principal of or interest on the
Securities of such Series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities of such Series and, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
and upon the written request of the Trustee, pay over all such amounts received
by it to the Trustee; and

 

(b)   that it will give the Trustee notice of any
failure by the Company or by any other obligor on the Securities of such Series to
make any payment of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series when
the same shall be due and payable.

 

On or prior to each due date
of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series, the Company
will deposit with the Paying Agent sufficient funds to pay such principal or
interest so becoming due and, unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee, notify
the Trustee of any failure to take such action.

 

If the Company shall act as
its own Paying Agent with respect to the Securities of any Series, on or before
each due date of the principal of or interest on the Securities of such Series it
will set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
the Securities of such Series sufficient funds to pay such principal or
interest so becoming due. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any
failure to take such action.

 

At any time, for the purpose
of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all Series of
Securities or for any other reason, the Company may pay or cause to be paid to
the Trustee all amounts held in trust for any such Series by the Company
or any Paying Agent, such amounts to be held by the Trustee in trust pursuant
to this Indenture.

 

The agreement to hold
amounts in trust as provided in this Section 3.03 is subject to the
provisions of Sections 10.03 and 10.04.

 

SECTION 3.04.  Officers’ Certificate. The Company shall
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of
the Company ending after the date hereof, principal execute officer, principal
financial officer or principal accounting officer, which need not constitute an
Officers’ Certificate, as to the Company’s compliance with all conditions and
covenants under the Indenture (such compliance to be determined without regard
to any period of grace or requirement of notice provided under the Indenture).

 

SECTION 3.05.  Calculation of Original Issue Discount. The
Company shall file with the Trustee, within 60 days after the end of each
calendar year, a written notice specifying the amount of original issue
discount, if any, including daily rates and accrual periods, accrued on each Series of
Outstanding Securities as of the end of such year.

SECURITYHOLDERS’ LISTS AND REPORTS BY THE COMPANY

 

SECTION 4.01.  Company to Furnish Trustee Information as to
Names and Addresses of Securityholders. The Company will furnish or cause to be
furnished to the Trustee a list in such form as the Trustee reasonably may
require of the names and addresses of the Holders of the Securities of each
Series:

 

(a)   semiannually, and not more than 15 days after
each record date for the payment of interest on such Securities, as of such
record date; and

 

(b)   at such other times as the Trustee reasonably
may request in writing, within 30 days after receipt by the Company of any such
request, such list to be as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such information is furnished.

 

12

 

If the Trustee shall be the
Security registrar for such Series, no such list shall be required to be
furnished to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 4.02.  Preservation and Disclosure of
Securityholders’ Lists.

 

(a)   The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a
form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of each Series of Securities contained in the most
recent list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 or maintained by
the Trustee in its capacity as Security registrar for such Series. The Trustee
may destroy any list furnished to it as provided in Section 4.01 upon
receipt of a new list so furnished.

 

(b)   In case three or more Holders of Securities
of any Series (“APPLICANTS”) apply in writing to the Trustee and furnish
to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned a Security
of such Series for a period of at least six months preceding the date of
such application, and such application states that the applicants desire to
communicate with other Holders of Securities of such Series or with
Holders of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or
under such Securities and such application is accompanied by a copy of the form
of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to transmit, then
the Trustee, within five Business Days after the receipt of such application,
at its election, either:

 

(i)    shall afford to such
applicants access to the information preserved at the time by the Trustee in
accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(a); or

 

(ii)   shall inform such
applicants as to the approximate number of Holders of Securities of such Series or
all Securities, as the case may be, whose names and addresses appear in the
information preserved at the time by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.02(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing
to such Securityholders the form of proxy or other communication, if any,
specified in such application.

 

If
the Trustee shall elect not to afford to such applicants access to such
information, the Trustee, upon the written request of such applicants, shall
mail to each Securityholder of such Series or all Securities, as the case
may be, whose name and address appear in the information preserved at the time
by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02(a), a
copy of the form of proxy or other communication that is specified in such
request, with reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the
material to be mailed and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the
reasonable expenses of mailing, unless within five days after such tender, the
Trustee shall mail to such applicants and file with the Commission together
with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect
that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best
interests of the Holders of Securities of such Series or all Securities,
as the case may be, or could be in violation of applicable law. Such written
statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after
opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written
statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such
objections or if, after the entry of such order sustaining one or more of such
objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for
hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met, and shall enter an
order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such
Securityholders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and
the renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.

 

(c)   Each and every Holder of Securities, by
receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company and the Trustee that
neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee
shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information
as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with
the provisions of Section 4.02(b), regardless of the source from which
such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under
such Section 4.02(b).

after the Company is required to file the same with the Commission, copies of
the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission from time to
time by rules and regulations may prescribe) that the Company may be
required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of
the Securities Exchange Act, or if the Company is not required to file

respect of a security listed and registered on a national securities exchange

ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

SECTION 5.01.  Event of Default Defined; Acceleration of
Maturity; Waiver of Default. “EVENT OF DEFAULT”, with respect to Securities of
any Series, means any one of the following events which shall have occurred and
be continuing (whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it
shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or
pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or
regulation of any administrative or governmental body) unless it is either
inapplicable to a particular Series or it is specifically deleted or
modified in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture or resolution of the
Board of Directors establishing such Series of Securities or in the form
of Security for such Series:

 

(a)   default in the payment of any installment of
interest upon any of the Securities of such Series as and when the same
shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of
30 days;

 

(b)   default in the payment of all or any part of
the principal of any of the Securities of such Series as and when the same
shall become due and payable, either at maturity, upon any redemption, by
declaration or otherwise;

 

(c)   default in the performance or breach of any
covenant or warranty contained in the Securities of such Series or in this
Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in whose performance or
whose breach is elsewhere in this Section 5.01 specifically dealt with or
which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of
one or more Series of Securities other than that Series), and continuance
of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given,
by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that Series, a written notice specifying such
default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice
is a “Notice of Default” hereunder;

 

14

 

(d)   the entry by a court having jurisdiction in
the premises of (A) a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company
in an involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or (B) a
decree or order (1) adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, (2) approving
as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition of or in respect of the Company under any applicable federal or
state law, (3) appointing a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of the Company or of any
substantial part of its property or (4) ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order for
relief or any such other decree or order unstayed and in effect for a period of
90 consecutive days;

 

(e)   the commencement by the Company of a
voluntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or of any other case or
proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to
the entry of a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an
involuntary case or proceeding under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or to the
commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against it, or
the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any applicable federal or state law, or the consent by it to the
filing of such petition or to the appointment of or taking possession by a
custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or similar
official of the Company or of any substantial part of its property, or the
making by it of an assignment for the benefit of creditors; or

 

(f)    any other Event of Default provided with
respect to Securities of such Series in the supplemental indenture or
resolution of the Board of Directors establishing such Series.

 

If an Event of Default
occurs and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any Series, then and
in each and every such case, unless the principal of all Securities of such Series shall
have already become due and payable, either the Trustee for such Series or
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount at maturity of
the Securities of such Series then Outstanding, by notice in writing to
the Company and to the Trustee if given by such Holders, may declare the
principal of all the Securities of such Series to be due and payable
immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be
immediately due and payable. This provision, however, is subject to the
condition that if at any time after the principal of the Securities of such Series shall
have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for
the payment of the amounts due shall have been obtained or entered as
hereinafter provided, the Company shall have paid or deposited with the Trustee
sufficient funds to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, upon all
the Securities of such Series and the principal of the Securities of such Series that
shall have become due other than by such acceleration (with interest upon such
principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under
applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by the
Securities of such Series to the date of such payment or deposit) and all
other defaults under this Indenture, other than the nonpayment of the principal
of Securities of such Series that shall have become due by such
acceleration, shall have been remedied, then and in every such case the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Securities of
such Series then Outstanding, by written notice to the Company and to the
Trustee for the Securities of such Series, may waive all defaults and rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or
rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default
or shall impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 5.02.  Collection of Indebtedness by Trustee; Trustee
May Prove Debt. If the Company shall fail to pay any installment of
interest on any of the Securities of any Series when such interest shall
have become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period
of 30 days or shall fail to pay the principal of any of the Securities of any Series when
the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of the
Securities of such Series or upon any redemption or by declaration or
otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee for the Securities of such Series,
the Company will pay to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series for
the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series the whole
amount that then shall have become due and payable on all Securities of such Series for
principal of or interest, as the case may be (with interest to the date of such
payment upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such
interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of
interest at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities
of such Series) and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the
costs and expenses of collection, including reasonable 

 

15

 

compensation to and expenses
incurred by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their respective
agents, attorneys and counsel.

 

Until such demand is made by
the Trustee, the Company may pay the principal of and interest on the
Securities of any Series to the persons entitled thereto, whether or not
the principal of and interest on the Securities of such Series are
overdue.

 

If the Company shall fail to
pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee for the Securities of such
Series, 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 amounts so due and unpaid. In any such case, the Trustee
may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree and
may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company or other
obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of
the property of the Company or other obligor upon such Securities, wherever
situated, the amounts adjudged or decreed to be payable.

 

If (i) there shall be
pending proceedings relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the
Securities under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other applicable
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law, (ii) a
receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization, liquidator,
sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or taken
possession of the Company or its property or such other obligor or (iii) any
other comparable judicial proceedings relative to the Company or other obligor
under the Securities of any Series, or to the creditors or property of the
Company or such other obligor, shall be pending, and irrespective of whether
the principal of any Securities shall then be due and payable or whether the
Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section 5.02,
the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such
proceedings or otherwise:

 

(a)   to file and prove a claim or claims for the
whole amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
Securities of any Series and to file such other papers or documents as may
be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including
any claim for reasonable compensation to, and expenses incurred by, the Trustee
and each predecessor Trustee, and their respective agents, attorneys and
counsel) and of the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings
relative to the Company or other obligor upon all Securities of any Series, or
to the creditors or property of the Company or such other obligor; and

 

(b)   to collect and receive any funds or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all
amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders and of the
Trustee on their behalf; and any trustee, receiver, or liquidator, custodian or
other similar official is hereby authorized by each of the Holders to make
payments to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series, and, in the event
that such Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the
Securityholders, to pay to such Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to
cover reasonable compensation to and expenses incurred by such Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents, attorneys and counsel and all
other amounts due to such Trustee or any predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07.

 

Nothing herein contained
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 any 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.

 

All rights of action and of
asserting claims under this Indenture or under any of the Securities may be
enforced by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series without the
possession of any of the Securities of such Series or the production
thereof at any trial or other proceedings relative thereto. Any such action or
proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as
trustee of an express trust. Any recovery of judgment, subject to the payment
of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Trustee, each
predecessor Trustee and their respective agents and attorneys, shall be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
action was taken.

 

16

 

In any proceedings brought
by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series, the Trustee shall be held to
represent all the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such action was
taken, and it shall not be necessary to make any Holders of such Securities
parties to any such proceedings.

 

SECTION 5.03.  Application of Proceeds. Any amounts
collected by the Trustee for the Securities of such Series pursuant to
this Article 5 in respect of the Securities of any Series shall be
applied in the following order at the date or dates fixed by such Trustee and,
in case of the distribution of such amounts on account of principal or
interest, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which
amounts have been collected and stamping or otherwise noting thereon the
payment, or issuing Securities of such Series in reduced principal amounts
in exchange for the presented Securities of like Series if only partially
paid, or upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

 

FIRST:
to the payment of costs and expenses applicable to such Series in respect
of which amounts have been collected, including reasonable compensation to and
expenses incurred by the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and their
respective agents and attorneys and all other amounts due to the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07;

 

SECOND:
to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, to the extent required by Article 14;

 

THIRD:
to the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and interest
on the Securities of such Series in respect of which amounts have been
collected, such payments to be made ratably to the persons entitled thereto,
without discrimination or preference, according to the amounts then due and
payable on such Securities for principal and interest; and

 

FOURTH:
To the payment of the remainder, if any, to the Company or any other Person
lawfully entitled thereto.

 

SECTION 5.04.  Restoration of Rights on Abandonment of
Proceedings. If the Trustee for the Securities of any Series shall have
proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall
have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or shall have been
determined adversely to the Trustee, the Company and the Trustee, subject to
the determination in any such proceeding, shall be restored to their former
positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the
Company, the Trustee and the Securityholders shall continue as though no such
proceedings had been taken.

 

SECTION 5.05.  Limitations on Suits by Securityholders. 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 action or
proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise with respect to
this Indenture, or for the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator,
custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an
Event of Default and of the continuance thereof and 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 or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have
offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonable to it as it may require, against
the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity shall have failed to institute any such action or proceeding and no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Securities of such Series then Outstanding; it being understood and
intended, and being expressly covenanted by the Holder of every Security with
every other Holder of a Security and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders
of Securities of any Series shall have any right in any manner whatever,
by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture, to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other such Holder of 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
the applicable Series.

 

SECTION 5.06.  Unconditional Right of Securityholders to
Institute Certain Suits. Notwithstanding any provision in this Indenture and
any provision of any Security, the right of any Holder of any Security to
receive payment of the principal of and (subject to Section 2.07) interest
on such Security at the respective rates, in the 

 

17

 

respective amount on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Security, or to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates,
shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

 

SECTION 5.07.  Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or
Omission Not Waiver of Default. Except as provided in Sections 2.09 and 5.05,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and
every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative and
in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

No delay or omission of the
Trustee or of any Securityholder 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 Event of
Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to Section 5.05, every power
and remedy given by this Indenture or by law to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or the Securityholders.

 

SECTION 5.08.  Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each Series affected
at the time Outstanding 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 by this Indenture on the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such Series; provided that such direction shall
not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this
Indenture. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such
direction if the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so
directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in
good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or
pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of
Holders of the Securities of all Series so affected not joining in the
giving of said direction, it being understood that the Trustee shall have no
duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly
prejudicial to such Holders.

 

SECTION 5.09.  Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such
Series, may waive any past default hereunder or its consequences, except a
default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities
of such Series.

 

Upon any such waiver, such
default shall cease to exist and be deemed to have been cured and not to have
occurred, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 5.10.  Right of Court to Require Filing of
Undertaking to Pay Costs. Any court in its discretion may require, in any suit
for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any suit
against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee,
the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the
costs of such suit. Any such court in its discretion may assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, 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. The provisions of this Section 5.10
shall not apply, however, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Securityholder or group of Securityholders of any Series holding
in the aggregate more than 10% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
of such Series or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the
enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on
or after the due date expressed in such Security.

 

SECTION 5.11.  Suits for Enforcement. If an Event of Default
has occurred, has not been waived and is continuing, the Trustee in its
discretion may 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 this 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.

SECTION 6.01.  Duties of Trustee.

 

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

or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be
furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall examine the certificates and
opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
Indenture.

 

(c)   The Trustee may not be relieved from

own willful misconduct, except that:

 

(i)    this paragraph (c) does
not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

 

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

liable with respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
accordance with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.08.

way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b), (c) and (e) of
this Section 6.01.

the Trustee to extend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss,
liability or expense.

 

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

 

SECTION 6.02.  Rights of Trustee.

 

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

(b)   Before the Trustee acts or refrains from

Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization
and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it
hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon in accordance with such advice
or Opinion of Counsel.

 

(e)   The Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the
request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless
such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonable to it

compliance with such request or direction.

 

(f)    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.

 

(g)   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder and after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, Officers’ Certificate or other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
approval, appraisal, bond, debenture, note, coupon, security or other paper or
document unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of not less than a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each
affected Series; provided 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, in the opinion of the Trustee, is 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
expenses or liabilities as a condition to proceeding.

 

(h)   The Trustee shall not be required to give any
bond or surety in respect of the performance of its powers and duties
hereunder.

 

(i)    The Trustee shall not be bound to ascertain
or inquire as to the performance or observance of any covenants, conditions or
agreements on the part of the Company, except as otherwise set forth herein,
but the Trustee may require of the Company full information and advice as to
the performance of the covenants, conditions and agreements contained herein
and shall be entitled in connection herewith to examine the books, records and
premises of the Company.

 

(j)    The permissive rights of the Trustee to do
things enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and the
Trustee shall not be answerable for other than its negligence or willful
default.

 

(k)   Except for (i) a default under Section 5.01(a) or
(b) or (ii) any other event of which the Trustee has actual knowledge
and which event, with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default under this Indenture, the Trustee shall
not be deemed to have notice of any default or event unless specifically
notified in writing of such event by the Company or the Holders of not less
than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each
affected Series.

 

SECTION 6.03.  Individual Rights of Trustee. The Trustee in
its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or its affiliates with the
same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Paying Agent, registrar
or co-registrar may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must
comply with Sections 6.10 and 6.11.

 

20

 

SECTION 6.04.  Trustee’s Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no
representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the
Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
proceeds from the Securities and shall not be responsible for any statement in
any registration statement for the Securities filed with the Commission under
the Securities Act (other than its Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1)
or in the Indenture (other than its eligibility under Section 6.10) or the
Securities (other than its certificate of authentication).

 

SECTION 6.05.  Notice of Defaults. If a default occurs and
is continuing with respect to any Securities of any Series and if the
Trustee has actual knowledge of such default, the Trustee shall give to each
Securityholder of such Series notice of the default within 90 days after
such default occurs. Except in the case of a default described in Section 5.01(a) or
(b), the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its
Responsible Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in
the interests of Securityholders of such Series.

 

SECTION 6.06.  Reports by Trustee to Holders. Within 60 days
after each May 15 beginning with the May 15 following the date of
this Indenture, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of any Series and
each other Person specified in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture
Act a brief report dated as of such May 15 that complies with Section 313(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent required thereby. The Trustee also shall
comply with Section 313(b) of the Trust Indenture Act.

 

The Trustee will file a copy
of each report, at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series,
with the Commission and each securities exchange on which the Securities of any
Series are listed. The Company promptly will notify the Trustee whenever
the Securities of any Series become listed on any securities exchange and
of any delisting thereof.

 

SECTION 6.07.  Compensation and Indemnity. The Company:

 

(a)   will pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation as shall be agreed to
in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it
hereunder, which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in
regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust;

 

(b)   will reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture, including the
reasonable compensation and expenses of its agents and counsel, except to the
extent any such compensation or expense may be attributable to its negligence
or willful misconduct; and

 

(c)   will indemnify the Trustee for, and hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in
connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust or the
performance of its duties hereunder, including the reasonable costs and
expenses of defending itself against or investigating any claim or liability in
connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties
hereunder, except to the extent that any such loss, liability or expense may be
attributable to its negligence or willful misconduct.

 

As security for the
performance of the Company’s obligations under this Section 6.07, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to
the Securities on all funds or property held or collected by the Trustee,
except for those funds that are held in trust to pay the principal of or
interest, if any, on particular Securities.

 

“Trustee” for purpose of
this Section 6.07 includes any predecessor trustee; provided that the
negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not be attributable to any other
Trustee.

 

The Company’s payment
obligations pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When
the Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of a default specified in
Sections 5.01(d) and (e), such expenses, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, are intended to constitute expenses of administration
under bankruptcy law.

 

21

 

SECTION 6.08.  Replacement of Trustee. The Trustee may
resign at any time with respect to Securities of one or more Series by so
notifying the Company. No such resignation, however, shall be effective until a
successor Trustee has accepted its appointment pursuant to this Section 6.08.
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to such Series by
so notifying the Trustee and the Company. The Company shall remove the Trustee
if:

 

(a)   the Trustee fails to comply with Section 6.10;

 

(b)   the Trustee is adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent;

 

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

 

(d)   the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
acting.

 

If the Trustee resigns or is
removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee for any reason, with
respect to the Securities of one or more Series, the Company shall promptly
appoint, by resolution of its Board of Directors, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such Series.

 

A successor Trustee shall
deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to
the Company. Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers
and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the Securities
of such Series. The successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to
Securityholders so affected. The retiring Trustee shall promptly transfer all
funds and property held by it as Trustee to the successor Trustee, subject to
the lien provided for in Section 6.07.

 

If a successor Trustee does
not take office within 30 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is
removed, the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of each affected Series may
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee.

 

If the Trustee fails to
comply with Section 6.10, any Securityholder may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a
successor Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.09.  Successor Trustee by Merger. If the Trustee
consolidates with, merges or converts into or transfers all or substantially
all its corporate trust business or assets to another corporation, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be
the successor Trustee.

 

SECTION 6.10.  Eligibility; Disqualification. The Trustee
shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act. The Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report
of condition. Neither the Company nor any person directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve
as Trustee hereunder. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.

 

SECTION 6.11.  Preferential Collection of Claims Against
Company. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship listed 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
indicated therein.

CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS

 

SECTION 7.01.  Evidence of Action Taken by Securityholders.

 

(a)   Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture
to be given or taken by a specified percentage in principal amount of the 

 

22

 

Securityholders
of any or all Series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such specified percentage
of Securityholders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing. Except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee. Proof of execution
of any instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient
for any purpose of this Indenture and, subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02,
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Article 7.

 

(b)   The ownership of Securities shall be proved
by the Security register.

 

SECTION 7.02.  Proof of Execution of Instruments. Subject to
Sections 6.01 and 6.02, the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or
his agent or proxy may be proved in accordance with such reasonable rules and
regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee or in such manner as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.03.  Holders to Be Treated as Owners. The Company,
the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may deem and treat the
person in whose name any Security shall be registered upon the Security
register for such Series as the absolute owner of such Security (whether
or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or
on account of the principal of and interest on such Security and for all other
purposes. Neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or
the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. All payments made
to any such person, or upon his order, shall be valid and, to the extent of the
amounts so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for amounts
payable upon any such Security.

 

SECTION 7.04.  Securities Owned by Company Deemed Not
Outstanding. In determining whether the Holders of the requisite aggregate
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any or all Series have
concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities
that are owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect
to which such determination is being made, or by any person directly or
indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common
control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities with respect to
which such determination is being made, shall be disregarded and deemed not to
be Outstanding for the purpose of any such determination. For the purpose of
determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such
direction, consent or waiver, only Securities that the Trustee knows are so
owned shall be so disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in
good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the
satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right so to act with respect to such
Securities and that the pledgee is not the Company or any other obligor upon
the Securities or any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled
by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company or any other
obligor on the Securities.

 

SECTION 7.05.  Right of Revocation of Action Taken. At any
time prior to the evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 7.01,
of the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of any Series specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the serial
number of which is shown by the evidence to be included among the serial
numbers of the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action,
by filing written notice at the Corporate Trust Office and upon proof of
holding as provided in this Article 7, may 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 Securities issued in
exchange or substitution therefor, irrespective of whether or not any notation
in regard thereto is made upon any such Security. Any action taken by the
Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
any Series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action
shall be binding upon the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of all the
Securities affected by such action.

SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

 

SECTION 8.01.  Supplemental Indentures Without Consent of
Securityholders. The Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of
Directors, and the Trustee for the Securities of any Series from time to
time and at any time may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto, which shall conform to the 

 

23

 

provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act as in force at the date of the execution thereof, in form
satisfactory to such Trustee, for one or more of the following purposes:

 

(a)   to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or
pledge any property or assets to the Trustee as security for the Securities of
one or more Series or to provide that any of the Company’s obligations
under any Series of the Securities or this Indenture shall be guaranteed
and the terms and conditions for the release or substitution of such security
or guarantee;

 

(b)   to evidence the succession of another Person
to the Company, or successive successions, and the assumption by the successor
Person of the covenants, agreements and obligations of the Company pursuant to Article 9;

 

(c)   to add to the covenants of the Company such
further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of
the Holders of Securities of any Series and, if such additional covenants
are to be for the benefit of less than all the Series of Securities,
stating that such covenants are being added solely for the benefit of such
Series;

 

(d)   to cure any ambiguity or to correct or
supplement any provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture that
may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision contained herein or
in any supplemental indenture, or to make such other provisions in regard to
matters or questions arising under this Indenture or under any supplemental
indenture as the Board of Directors may deem necessary or desirable and that
shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
Securities;

 

(e)   to establish the form or terms of Securities
of any Series as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.03; or

 

(f)    to evidence and provide for the acceptance
of appointment hereunder by a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of one or more Series and to 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 the one Trustee, pursuant
to the requirements of Section 6.08.

 

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

 

Any supplemental indenture
authorized by the provisions of this Section 8.01 may be executed without
the consent of the Holders of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding,
notwithstanding any of the provisions of Section 8.02.

 

SECTION 8.02.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of
Securityholders. With the consent (evidenced as provided in Article 7) of
the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental
indenture, the Company, when authorized by a resolution of its Board of
Directors, and the Trustee for such Series of Securities, from time to
time and at any time, may enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto, which shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in
force at the date of execution thereof, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of
this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner
the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each such Series. No such
supplemental indenture, however, shall:

 

(a)   extend the final maturity date of any
Security, reduce the principal amount thereof, reduce the rate or extend the
time of payment of interest thereon, reduce any amount payable on redemption
thereof, impair or affect the right of any Securityholder to institute suit for
payment thereof or, if the Securities

 

24

 

provide therefor, affect any right of repayment at the option of the
Securityholder without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected;

 

(b)         reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities of any Series, the
consent of the Holders of which is required for any such supplemental
indenture, without the consent of the Holders of each Security so affected; or

 

(c)          reduce the amount of principal payable upon acceleration of the
maturity date of any Original Issue Discount Security.

 

Upon the request of the
Company, accompanied by a copy of a resolution of the Board of Directors
certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the Company authorizing
the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the
Trustee for such Series of Securities of evidence of the consent of the
Securityholders as aforesaid and other documents, if any, required by Section 7.01,
the Trustee for such Series of Securities shall join with the Company in
the execution of such supplemental indenture. If such supplemental indenture
affects such Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, such Trustee in its discretion may, but shall not be obligated to,
enter into such supplemental indenture.

 

It shall not be necessary for
the consent of the Securityholders under this Section 8.02 to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

 

Promptly after the execution
by the Company and the Trustee of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 8.02, the Company shall give notice in the
manner and to the extent provided in Section 11.04 to the Holders of
Securities of each Series affected thereby at their addresses as they
shall appear on the Security register, setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Company to mail
such notice, or any defect therein, shall not in any way impair or affect the
validity of any such supplemental indenture.

 

SECTION 8.03.  Effect of Supplemental Indenture. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this
Indenture shall 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 each 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 8.04.  Documents to Be Given to Trustee. The
Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall receive an
Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive evidence that any
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article 8 complies with
the applicable provisions of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 8.05.  Notation on Securities in Respect of
Supplemental Indentures. Securities of any Series authenticated and
delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article 8 may bear, upon the direction of the Company,
a notation in form satisfactory to the Trustee for the Securities of such Series as
to any matter provided for by such supplemental indenture. If the Company or
the Trustee shall so determine, new Securities of any Series so modified
as to conform, in the opinion of the Trustee and 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 Outstanding Securities of such Series.

 

SECTION 8.06.  Subordination Unimpaired. This Indenture may
not be amended to alter the subordination of any of the Outstanding Securities
of any Series without the written consent of each holder of Senior
Indebtedness then outstanding that would be adversely affected thereby.

CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE

 

SECTION 9.01.  Company May Consolidate, Etc. on Certain
Terms. The Company may consolidate with or merge with or into, or sell, convey
or lease all or substantially all of its assets to, any other Person; provided
that in any such case:

 

(a)          either the Company shall be the continuing Person, or the successor
Person shall be organized and validly existing under the laws of the United
States of America or any State thereof or the District of Columbia and shall
expressly assume the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest
on all the Securities according to their tenor, and the due and punctual
performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of this
Indenture to be performed or observed by the Company by supplemental indenture
satisfactory to the Trustee, executed and delivered to the Trustee by such
Person, and

 

(b)         the Company or such successor Person, as the case may be, shall not be
in material default immediately after such consolidation, merger, sale,
conveyance or lease in the performance or observance of any such covenant or
condition of this Indenture.

 

SECTION 9.02.  Successor Person Substituted. In case of any
such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and following such an
assumption by the successor Person, such successor Person shall succeed to and
be substituted for the Company, with the same effect as if it had been named
herein. Such successor Person may cause to be signed, and may issue either in
its own name or in the name of the Company prior to such succession any or all
of the Securities issuable hereunder that shall not have been signed by the
Company and delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor
Person instead of the Company and subject to all the terms, conditions and
limitations in this Indenture, the Trustee shall authenticate and shall make
available for delivery any Securities that shall have been signed and delivered
by the officers of the Company to the Trustee for authentication, and any
Securities which such successor Person thereafter shall cause to be signed and
delivered to the Trustee for that purpose. All of the Securities so issued
shall in all respects have the same legal rank and benefit under this Indenture
as the Securities theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms
of this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued at the date
of the execution hereof.

 

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

 

In the event of any such
sale or conveyance, the Company (or any successor Person which shall
theretofore have become such in the manner described in this Article 9)
shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under this Indenture and
the Securities and may be liquidated and dissolved.

 

SECTION 9.03.  Opinion of Counsel to Trustee. The Trustee,
subject to the provisions of Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall receive an Opinion
of Counsel, prepared in accordance with Section 11.05, as conclusive
evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, lease or conveyance, and
any such assumption, and any such liquidation or dissolution, complies with the
applicable provisions of this Indenture.

(i)             the Company shall have paid or caused to be
paid the principal of and interest on all the Outstanding Securities of any Series as
and when the same shall have become due and payable,

 

26

 

(ii)          the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation all Securities of any Series theretofore

(iii)       (A) all the Securities of such Series not
theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due and
payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable 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 (B) the Company
shall have irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as
trust funds the entire amount or Government Obligations maturing as to
principal and interest in such amounts and at such times as will ensure the
availability of funds sufficient to pay at maturity or upon redemption all
Securities of such Series (other than any Securities of such Series which
shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have been replaced or
paid as provided in Section 2.09) not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, including principal and interest due or to become due to such
date of maturity as the case may be, and if, in any such case, the Company
shall also pay or cause to be paid all other amounts payable hereunder by the
Company with respect to Securities of such Series, then this Indenture shall
cease to be of further effect with respect to Securities of such Series (except
as to (1) rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (2) substitution
of mutilated, defaced, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities, (3) rights of
Holders to receive payments of principal thereof and interest thereon upon the
original stated due dates therefor and remaining rights of the Holders to

obligations and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (5) the rights of
the Securityholders of such Series as beneficiaries hereof with respect to
the property so deposited with the Trustee payable to all or any of them).
Subject to Section 10.05, the Trustee, on demand of the Company
accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel and at the
cost and expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
such satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with respect to such
Series. The Company will reimburse the Trustee for any costs or expenses
thereafter reasonably and properly incurred and will compensate the Trustee for
any services thereafter reasonably and properly rendered by the Trustee in
connection with this Indenture and the Securities of such Series.

 

(b)         In addition to its rights to discharge this Indenture pursuant to Section 10.01(a),
the Company may defease the covenants applicable to any Series of
Securities, as provided in this Section 10.01(b), by complying with the
provisions of this Section 10.01(b):

 

(i)             The Company, at its option at any time, may
exercise its right to elect to have defeasance under Section 10.01(b)(ii) be
applied to the Outstanding Securities of any Series; provided that provision is
made for such right pursuant to Section 2.03 and the applicable conditions
thereto as set forth in this Section 10.01(b) have been satisfied.

 

(ii)          Upon the Company’s exercise of the right
referenced in Section 10.01(b)(i) applicable to this Section 10.01(b)(ii),
the Company may terminate its obligations under the Outstanding Securities of
any Series and this Indenture with respect to such Series on the date
the conditions set forth in Section 10.01(b)(iii) are satisfied (“DEFEASANCE”).
For this purpose, defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding
Securities of such Series and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned, except for the following: (A) the rights of Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such Series to receive payments in respect of
the principal of and interest on such Securities when such payments are due; (B) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 2.08,
2.09, 3.02, 6.07, 10.04 and 10.05; (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties
and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and (D) this Section 10.01(b).

 

(iii)       The following shall be the conditions to the
application of Section 10.01(b)(ii) to the Outstanding Securities of
such Series:

 

27

 

(A)      The Company shall have irrevocably deposited
or caused to be deposited with the Trustee under the terms of an irrevocable
trust agreement, as trust funds in trust solely for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefit of the Holders of Securities of such Series, (I) cash in
the currency or currency unit required, (II) Government Obligations
maturing as to principal and interest in such amounts (payable in the currency
in which the Securities of such Series are payable) and at such times as
are sufficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Outstanding
Securities of such Series to maturity or redemption, as the case may be,
or (III) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee to pay and discharge, (x) the
principal of and each installment of interest, if any, on the Outstanding
Securities of such Series on the stated maturity of such principal or
installment of interest, if any, and (y) any mandatory sinking fund
payments or analogous payments applicable to the Outstanding Securities of such
Series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance
with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities. Such irrevocable trust
agreement shall include, among other things, (a) provision for the
payments referenced in clauses (x) and (y) of the immediately
preceding sentence, (b) the payment of the reasonable expenses of the
Trustee incurred or to be incurred in connection with carrying out such trust
provisions, (c) rights of registration of transfer, substitution and
exchange of Securities of such Series in accordance with the terms stated
in this Indenture and (d) continuation of the rights and obligations and
immunities of the Trustee as against the Holders of Securities of such Series as
stated in this Indenture.

 

(B)        No Event of Default or event which with
notice or lapse of time or both would constitute an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities of such Series shall have occurred and be
continuing on the date of such deposit or, insofar as Sections 5.01(d) and
5.01(e) are concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st
day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
shall not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

 

(C)        Such defeasance shall not result in a breach
or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture with respect to
the Securities of such Series.

 

(D)       The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that Securityholders of such Series will
not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result
of such deposit and discharge and will be subject to federal income tax on the
same amounts and in the same manner and at the same time as would have been the
case if such deposit and defeasance had not occurred, and which Opinion of
Counsel must be based upon (x) a ruling of the U.S. Internal Revenue
Service to the same effect or (y) a change in applicable U.S. federal
income tax law after the date of the Indenture such that a ruling is no longer
required.

 

(E)         The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent provided for herein relating to the deposit and defeasance
contemplated by this Section 10.01(b) have been complied with.

 

SECTION 10.02.  Application by Trustee of Funds Deposited for
Payment of Securities. Subject to Section 10.04, all funds deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01 shall be held in trust and applied
by it to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent, to the
Holders of the particular Securities of such Series for the payment or
redemption of which such funds have been deposited with the Trustee, of all
amounts due and to become due thereon for principal and interest; but such
funds need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

 

28

 

SECTION 10.03.  Repayment of Amounts Held by Paying Agent. In
connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to Securities of any Series, all amounts then held by any Paying Agent (other
than the Company) under the provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Series of
Securities, upon written demand of the Company, shall be paid to the Trustee
and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability
with respect to such amounts.

 

SECTION 10.04.  Return of Unclaimed Amounts Held by Trustee
and Paying Agent. Any amounts deposited with or paid to the Trustee or any
Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) for the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of any Series and
not applied but remaining unclaimed for two years after the date upon which
such principal or interest shall have become due and payable, upon the written
request of the Company, unless otherwise required by mandatory provisions of
applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, promptly shall be
repaid to the Company by the Trustee for such Series or such Paying Agent
(except that with respect to any amounts then held by the Company in trust as
its own Paying Agent no such request need be given and at such time the Company
shall be discharged from its duty to hold such amounts in trust as Paying
Agent). The Holder of the Security of such Series, unless otherwise required by
mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
laws, thereafter shall look only to the Company for any payment which such
Holder may be entitled to collect, and all liability of the Trustee or any
Paying Agent with respect to such amounts thereupon shall cease. Anything in
this Article 10 to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon the written request of the Company
any funds or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 10.01(b)(iii) which,
in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public
accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect such defeasance in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture.

 

SECTION 10.05.  Reinstatement of Company’s Obligations. If
the Trustee is unable to apply any funds or Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 10.01 by reason of any legal proceeding or by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of any Series for
which such application is prohibited shall be revived and reinstated as if no
deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 10.01 until such time as the
Trustee is permitted to apply all such funds or Government Obligations in
accordance with Section 10.01. If the Company has made any payment of
interest on or principal of any of such Securities because of the reinstatement
of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the
Securityholders of such Securities to receive such payment from the funds or
Government Obligations held by the Trustee.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 11.01.  Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers and
Directors of Company Exempt from Individual Liability. No recourse under or
upon any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in
any Security shall be had against any incorporator as such or against any past,
present or future shareholder, officer or director of the Company or of any
successor, either directly or through the Company or any successor, under any rule of
law, statute or constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any
assessment or by any legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such
liability being expressly waived and released by the acceptance of the
Securities by the Holders thereof and as part of the consideration for the
issue of the Securities.

 

SECTION 11.02.  Provisions of Indenture for the Sole Benefit
of Parties and Securityholders. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities,
expressed or implied, shall give or be construed to give to any Person, firm or
corporation, other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent and their
successors hereunder and the Holders of the Securities any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture or under any covenant or provision
herein contained, all such covenants and provisions being for the sole benefit
of the parties hereto and their successors and of the Holders of the
Securities.

 

SECTION 11.03.  Successors and Assigns of Company Bound by
Indenture. All the covenants, stipulations, promises and agreements in this
Indenture contained by or on behalf of the Company shall bind its successors
and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

SECTION 11.04.  Notices and Demands on Company, Trustee and
Securityholders. Any notice or demand that by any provision of this Indenture
is required or permitted to be given or served by the Trustee or by the Holders
of Securities to or on the Company may be given or served by being deposited
postage prepaid, first-class mail (except as otherwise specifically provided
herein) addressed (until another address of the Company is filed by the Company
with the Trustee) to Fluor Corporation, 6700 Las Colinas Boulevard, Irving,
Texas 75039, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. Any notice, direction, request
or demand by the Company or any Securityholder to or upon the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been sufficiently given or made, for all purposes, if given or
made at the Corporate Trust Office.

 

Where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed by
first-class mail, postage prepaid to such Holders as their names and addresses
appear in the Security register within the time prescribed. Where this
Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed to any
particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to
other Holders, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided
shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

 

In case, by reason of the
suspension of or irregularities in regular mail service, it shall be
impracticable to mail notice to the Company and Securityholders when such
notice is required to be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture,
then any manner of giving such notice as shall be reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.

 

SECTION 11.05.  Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of
Counsel; Statements to Be Contained Therein. Upon any application or demand by
the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any of the provisions of
this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this
Indenture relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an
Opinion of Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such
conditions precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case
of any such application or demand as to which the furnishing of such documents
is specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or demand, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.

 

Each certificate or opinion
provided for in this Indenture and delivered to the Trustee with respect to
compliance with a condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall
include:

 

(a)          a statement that the person making such certificate or opinion has read

such examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him or her to
express an informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has
been complied with; and

 

(d)         a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of such person, such
condition or covenant has been complied with.

 

Any certificate, statement
or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it relates to
legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or representations by counsel,
unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion
may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know that the same are erroneous. Any certificate, statement or opinion
of counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters or 

 

30

 

information with respect to which
is in the possession of the Company, upon the certificate, statement or opinion
of or representations by an officer or officers of the Company, unless such
counsel knows that the certificate, statement or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate, statement or opinion
may be based as aforesaid are erroneous, or in the exercise of reasonable care
should know that the same are erroneous.

 

Any certificate, statement
or opinion of an officer of the Company or of counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to accounting matters, upon a certificate or opinion of or
representations by an accountant or firm of accountants in the employ of the
Company, unless such officer or counsel, as the case may be, knows that the certificate
or opinion or representations with respect to the accounting matters upon which
his certificate, statement or opinion may be based as aforesaid are erroneous,
or in the exercise of reasonable care should know that the same are erroneous.

 

SECTION 11.06.  Payments Due on Saturdays, Sundays and
Holidays. Unless otherwise specified in a Security, if the date of maturity of
interest on or principal of the Securities of any Series or the date fixed
for redemption or repayment of any such Security shall not be a Business Day,
payment of interest or principal need not be made on such date, but may be made
on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made
on the date of maturity or the date fixed for redemption, and no interest shall
accrue for the period after such date.

 

SECTION 11.07.  Conflict of Any Provision of Indenture with
Trust Indenture Act. If and to the extent that any provision of this Indenture
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision included in this Indenture
which is required by the Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall
control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision
of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be
excluded, as the case may be.

 

SECTION 11.08.  New York Law to Govern. This Indenture and
each Security shall be deemed to be a contract under the internal laws of the
State of New York (other than principles of law that would apply the law of
another jurisdiction), and for all purposes shall be construed and enforced in
accordance with and governed by the laws of said State.

 

SECTION 11.09.  Counterparts. This Indenture may be executed
in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original; but such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

SECTION 11.10.  Effect of Headings; Gender. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only
and shall not affect the construction hereof. The use of the masculine,
feminine or neuter gender herein shall not limit in any way the applicability
of any term or provision hereof.

The notice of redemption to
each such Holder shall specify the date fixed for redemption, the “CUSIP”
number or numbers for such Securities, the redemption price, the Place or
Places of Payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of
such Securities, that such redemption is pursuant to the mandatory or

if such be the case, that interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption
will be paid as specified in such notice, that on and after said date interest
thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue and, if
applicable, that a Holder of Securities who desires to convert Securities for
redemption must satisfy the requirements for conversion contained in such
Securities, the then existing conversion price or rate and the date and time
when the option to convert shall expire. If less than all of the Securities of
any Series are to be redeemed, the notice of redemption shall specify the
numbers of the Securities of such Series to be redeemed. In case any
Security of a Series is to be redeemed in part, the notice of redemption
shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and
shall state that on and after the date fixed for redemption, 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.

 

The notice of redemption of
Securities of any Series to be redeemed at the option of the Company shall
be given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the
name and at the expense of the Company. If such notice is to be given by the
Trustee, the Company shall provide notice of such redemption to the Trustee at
least 60 days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee). If such notice is given by the Company,
the Company shall provide a copy of such notice given to the Holders of such
redemption to the Trustee at least three Business Days prior to the date such
notice is given to such Holders, but in any event at least 30 days prior to the
date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee).

 

Unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.03, not later than the redemption date specified in
the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 12.02, the
Company will have on deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents
(or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, set aside, segregate and
hold in trust as provided in Section 3.03) funds available on such date
(or other forms of property, if permitted by the terms of the Securities of
such Series) sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities of
such Series so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price,
together with accrued interest to the date fixed for redemption. If less than
all the Outstanding Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Company
will deliver to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption an Officers’ Certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of
Securities to be redeemed (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the
Trustee).

 

If less than all the
Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, in
such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair, Securities of such Series to
be redeemed in whole or in part and the Trustee shall promptly notify the
Company in writing of the Securities of such Series selected for
redemption and, in the case of any Securities of such Series selected for
partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. However, if
less than all the Securities of any Series with differing issue dates,
interest rates and stated maturities are to be redeemed, the Company in its
sole discretion shall select the particular securities to be redeemed and shall
notify the Trustee in writing thereof at least 60 days prior to the relevant
redemption date (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee).
Securities may be redeemed in part in multiples equal to the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of such Series or any multiple thereof. For
all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities of any Series shall
relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to
the portion of the principal amount of such Security which has been or is to be
redeemed.

 

SECTION 12.03.  Payment of Securities Called for Redemption.
If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or
portions of Securities 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 on
and after said date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such
Securities at the redemption price, together with interest accrued to said
date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for
redemption shall cease to accrue. Except as provided in Sections 6.01 and
10.04, such Securities shall cease from and after the date fixed for redemption
to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders
thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to
receive the redemption price thereof and unpaid interest to the date fixed for
redemption. On presentation and surrender of such Securities at a Place of
Payment specified in said notice, said Securities or the specified portions
thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable redemption
price, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption.
If for any Securities the date fixed for redemption is a regular interest
payment date, 

 

32

 

payment of interest becoming
due on such date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities registered
as such on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.07.

 

If any Security called for
redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal shall, until paid or duly provided for, bear interest from the date
fixed for redemption at the rate of interest borne by the Security.

 

Upon presentation of any
Security redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery to or on the order of the Holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities, of
authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion
of the Security so presented.

 

SECTION 12.04.  Exclusion of Certain Securities from
Eligibility for Selection for Redemption. Securities shall be excluded from
eligibility for selection for redemption if they are identified by registration
and certificate number in a written statement signed by an authorized officer
of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at least 30 days prior to the last
date on which notice of redemption may be given as being owned of record and
beneficially by, and not pledged or hypothecated by, either (a) the
Company or (b) an entity specifically identified in such written statement
as directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or
indirect common control with the Company.

 

SECTION 12.05.  Mandatory and Optional Sinking Funds. The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of
Securities of any Series is 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 referred to as an “OPTIONAL SINKING
FUND PAYMENT”. The date on which a sinking fund payment is to be made is
referred to as the “SINKING FUND PAYMENT DATE”.

 

In lieu of providing funds
for all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Series of
Securities, the Company at its option:

 

(a)          may deliver to the Trustee securities of such Series theretofore
purchased or otherwise acquired (except upon redemption pursuant to the
mandatory sinking fund) by the Company or receive credit for Securities of such
Series (not previously so credited) theretofore purchased or otherwise
acquired (except as aforesaid) by the Company and delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10;

 

(b)         may receive credit for optional sinking fund payments (not previously
so credited) made pursuant to this Section 12.05; or

 

(c)          may receive credit for Securities of such Series (not previously
so credited) redeemed by the Company through any optional redemption provision
contained in the terms of such Series.

 

Securities so delivered or
credited shall be received or credited by the Trustee at the sinking fund
redemption price specified in such Securities.

 

On or before the forty-fifth
day next preceding each sinking fund payment date for any Series of
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a written statement (which
need not contain the statements required by Section 11.05) signed by an
authorized officer of the Company which will:

 

(a)          specify the portion of the mandatory sinking fund payment to be
satisfied by delivery of funds, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.03
for the Securities of such Series, and the portion to be satisfied by delivery
or credit of Securities of such Series;

 

(b)         state that none of the Securities of such Series for which credit
is sought has theretofore been so credited;

 

33

 

(c)          state that no defaults in the payment of interest or Events of Default
with respect to such Series have occurred (which have not been waived or
cured) and are continuing;

 

(d)         state whether or not the Company intends to exercise its right to make
an optional sinking fund payment with respect to such Series and, if so,
specifying the amount of such optional sinking fund payment which the Company
intends to pay on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date; and

 

(e)          specify such sinking fund payment date.

 

Any Securities of such Series to
be credited and required to be delivered on the Trustee in order for the
Company to be entitled to credit therefor that have not previously been
delivered to the Trustee shall be delivered for cancellation pursuant to Section 2.10
to the Trustee with such written statement. Such written statement shall be
irrevocable. Upon its receipt by the Trustee the Company shall become unconditionally
obligated to make all the payments, if any, therein referred to on or before
the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. Failure of the Company, on or
before any such forty-fifth day, to deliver such written statement and
Securities specified in this paragraph, if any, shall not constitute a default
but shall constitute, on and as of such date, the irrevocable election of the
Company (i) that the mandatory sinking fund payment for such Series due
on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date shall be paid entirely in
funds without the option to deliver or credit Securities of such Series in
respect thereof and (ii) that the Company will make no optional sinking
fund payment with respect to such Series as provided in this Section 12.05.

 

If the sinking fund payment
or payments (mandatory or optional or both) to be made in funds on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date plus any unused balance of any preceding
sinking fund payments made in funds shall exceed $100,000 (or a lesser amount if
the Company shall so request) with respect to the Securities of any particular
Series, such funds shall be applied on the next succeeding sinking fund payment
date to the redemption of Securities of such Series at the sinking fund
redemption price together with accrued interest to the date fixed for
redemption. If such amount shall be $100,000 or less and the Company makes no
such request then it shall be carried over until an amount in excess of
$100,000 is available. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in Section 12.02
and giving effect to any exclusions required pursuant to Section 12.04,
for redemption on such sinking fund payment date a sufficient principal amount
of Securities of such Series to absorb, as nearly as may be possible, such
funds and shall inform the Company of the serial numbers of the Securities of
such Series (or portions thereof) so selected. The Trustee, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of redemption of the
Securities of such Series to be given in substantially the manner provided
in Section 12.02 for the redemption of Securities of such Series. The
amount of any sinking fund payments not so applied or allocated to the
redemption of Securities of such Series shall be added to the next sinking
fund payment for such Series and, together with such payment, shall be
applied in accordance with the provisions of this Section 12.05. Any and
all sinking fund amounts held on the stated maturity date of the Securities of
any particular Series (or earlier, if such maturity is accelerated) that
are not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such Series shall
be applied, together with other amounts, if necessary, sufficient for the
purpose, to the payment of the principal of, and interest on, the Securities of
such Series at maturity.

 

Unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 2.03, not later than the sinking fund payment date,
the Company shall have paid to the Trustee or shall otherwise provide funds
available on such date for the payment of all principal and interest accrued to
the date fixed for redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund
payment date.

 

The Trustee shall not redeem
or cause to be redeemed any Securities of a Series with sinking fund
amounts or mail or publish any notice of redemption of Securities for such Series by
operation of the sinking fund during the continuance of a default in payment of
interest on such Securities or of any Event of Default except that, where the
mailing or publication of notice of redemption of Securities of any Series previously
shall have been made, the Trustee shall redeem or cause to be redeemed such
Securities; provided that it shall have received from the Company amounts
sufficient for such redemption. Except as aforesaid, any amounts in the sinking
fund for Securities of such Series at the time when any such default or
Event of Default shall occur, and any amounts thereafter paid into the sinking
fund, during the continuance of such default or Event of Default, shall be
deemed to have been collected under Article 5 and held for the payment of
all Securities of such Series. In case such Event of

 

34

 

Default shall have been waived as provided in Section 5.09 or the
default cured on or before the sixtieth day preceding the sinking fund payment
date in any year, such amounts thereafter shall be applied on the next
succeeding sinking fund payment date in accordance with this Section 12.05
to the redemption of such Securities.

 

SECTION 12.06.  Repayment at the Option of the Holders.
Securities of any Series that are repayable at the option of the Holders
before their stated maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of
the Securities of such Series.

 

The repayment of any
principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to require
repayment of Securities before their stated maturity, for purposes of Section 10.01,
shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option,
shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such
Securities be cancelled.

 

SECTION 12.07.  Conversion Arrangement on Call for
Redemption. In connection with any redemption of Securities of any Series, the
Company may arrange for the purchase and conversion of any Securities of any Series called
for redemption by an agreement with one or more investment bankers or other
purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Trustee or the Paying
Agent in trust for the Holders of such Securities, on or before 10:00 a.m.
New York time on the redemption date, an amount not less than the redemption
price, together with interest, if any, accrued to the redemption date of such
Securities, in immediately available funds. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in this Article 12, the obligation of the Company to
pay the redemption price of such Securities, including all accrued interest, if
any, shall be deemed to be satisfied and discharged to the extent such amount
is so paid by such purchasers. If such an agreement is entered into, any
Securities not duly surrendered for conversion by the Holders thereof, at the
option of the Company, may be deemed, to the fullest extent permitted by law,
acquired by such purchasers from such Holders and surrendered by such
purchasers for conversion, all as of immediately prior to the close of business
on the last day on which such Securities called for redemption may be converted
in accordance with this Indenture and the terms of such Securities, subject to
payment to the Trustee or Paying Agent of the above-described amount. The
Trustee or the Paying Agent shall hold and pay to the Holders whose Securities
are selected for redemption any such amount paid to it in the same manner as it
would pay funds deposited with it by the Company for the redemption of
Securities of such Series. Without the Trustee’s and the Paying Agent’s prior
written consent, no arrangement between the Company and such purchasers for the
purchase and conversion of any Securities shall increase or otherwise affect
any of the powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations of the Trustee and
the Paying Agent as set forth in this Indenture. The Company agrees to
indemnify the Trustee and the Paying Agent from, and hold them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense arising out of or in connection with
any such arrangement for the purchase and conversion of Securities of any Series between
the Company and such purchasers, including the reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by the Trustee and the Paying Agent in the defense of any claim or
liability arising out of or in connection with the exercise or performance of
any of their powers, duties, responsibilities or obligations under this
Indenture.

 

ARTICLE 13

CONVERSION OF SECURITIES

 

SECTION 13.01.  Applicability of Article. Securities of any Series that
are convertible into Common Shares at the option of the Holder of such
Securities shall be convertible in accordance with their terms and, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for the Securities of
any Series, in accordance with this Article 13. Each reference in this Article 13
to “a Security” or “the Securities” refers to the Securities of the particular Series that
is convertible into Common Shares. If more than one Series of Securities
with conversion privileges are Outstanding at any time, the provisions of this Article 13
shall be applied separately to each such Series.

 

SECTION 13.02.  Right of Holders to Convert Securities into
Common Shares. Subject to the provisions of Section 12.07 and this Article 13,
at the option of the Holder thereof, any Security of any Series that is
convertible into Common Shares, or any portion of the principal amount thereof
which is $1,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000, may be converted into duly
authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares at any
time during the period specified in the Securities of such Series, or in case
such Security or portion thereof shall have been called for redemption, then in
respect of such Security or portion thereof until (unless the Company shall
default in payment due upon the redemption thereof) the close of business on
the redemption date (except that in the 

 

35

 

case of repayment at the option
of the Holder, if specified in the terms of the relevant Security, such right
shall terminate upon the Company’s receipt of written notice of the exercise of
such option), as specified in such Security, at the conversion price or
conversion rate for each $1,000 principal amount of Securities (such initial
conversion rate reflecting an initial conversion price specified in such
Security) in effect on the conversion date, or, in case an adjustment in the
conversion price has taken place pursuant to the provisions of this Article 13,
then at the applicable conversion price as so adjusted, upon surrender of the
Security or Securities, the principal amount of which is so to be converted, to
the Company at any time during usual business hours at the office or agency to
be maintained by it in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02,
accompanied by a written notice of election to convert as provided in Section 13.03.
If the Holder requests that the Common Shares be registered in a name other
than that of the Holder, such notice also shall be accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing. All Securities surrendered for conversion shall, if
surrendered to the Company or any conversion agent, be delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation and cancelled by it, or shall, if surrendered to the Trustee,
be cancelled by it, as provided in Section 2.10.

 

The initial conversion price
or conversion rate in respect of a Series of Securities shall be as
specified in the Securities of such Series. The conversion price or conversion
rate will be subject to adjustment on the terms set forth in Section 13.05
or such other or different terms, if any, as may be specified by Section 2.03
for Securities of such Series. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
conversion of all of a Security also apply to conversion of any portion of such
Security.

 

SECTION 13.03.  Issuance of Common Shares on Conversions. As
promptly as practicable after the surrender, as herein provided, of any
Security or Securities for conversion into Common Shares, the Company shall
deliver or cause to be delivered at the office or agency to be maintained by it
in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 to or upon the written
order of the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered a certificate
or certificates representing the number of duly authorized, validly issued,
fully paid and nonassessable Common Shares into which such Security or
Securities may be converted in accordance with the terms thereof and the
provisions of this Article 13. Prior to delivery of such certificate or
certificates, the Company shall require written notice at its said office or
agency from the Holder of the Security or Securities so surrendered stating
that the Holder irrevocably elects to convert such Security or Securities, or,
if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be converted, stating
the portion thereof to be converted. Such notice shall also state the name or
names (with address and social security or other taxpayer identification
number) in which said certificate or certificates are to be issued. Such
conversion shall be deemed to have been made at the time that such Security or
Securities shall have been surrendered for conversion and such notice shall
have been received by the Company or the Trustee and such conversion shall be
at the conversion price in effect at such time. The rights of the Holder of
such Security or Securities as a Holder shall cease at such time, and the
Person or Persons entitled to receive the Common Shares upon conversion of such
Security or Securities shall be treated for all purposes as having become
either record holder or holders of such Common Shares at such time. In the case
of any Security of any Series that is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and, upon the Company’s request and at the
Company’s expense, the Trustee or an authenticating agent shall authenticate
and deliver to the Holder thereof, as requested by such Holder, a new Security
or Securities of such Series of authorized denominations in aggregate
principal amount equal to the unconverted portion of such Security.

 

If the last day on which
such Security may be converted is not a Business Day in a place where the
conversion agent for that Security is located, such Security may be surrendered
to that conversion agent on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

 

The Company shall not be
required to deliver certificates for Common Shares upon conversion while its
stock transfer books are closed for a meeting of shareholders or for the
payment of dividends or for any other purpose, but certificates for Common
Shares shall be delivered as soon as the stock transfer books shall again be
opened.

 

SECTION 13.04.  No Payment or Adjustment for Interest or
Dividends. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for
Securities of such Series, Securities surrendered for conversion into Common
Shares during the period from the close of business on any regular record date
or special record date next preceding any interest payment date to the opening
of business on such interest payment date (except Securities called for 

 

36

 

redemption on a redemption date
within such period) when surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by
payment, by certified or official bank check to the order of the Company
payable in clearing house funds at the location where the Securities are
surrendered, of an amount equal to the interest thereon which the Holder is
entitled to receive on such interest payment date. Payment of interest shall be
made, on such interest payment date or such other payment date (as set forth in
Section 2.07), as the case may be, to the Holder of the Securities as of
such regular record date or special record date, as applicable. Except where
Securities surrendered for conversion must be accompanied by payment as
described above, no interest on converted Securities will be payable by the Company
on any interest payment date subsequent to the date of conversion. No other
payment or adjustment for interest or dividends is to be made upon conversion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon conversion of any Original Issue Discount
Security, the fixed number of Common Shares into which such Security is
convertible delivered by the Company to the Holder thereof shall be applied,
first, to the portion attributable to the accrued original issue discount
relating to the period from the date of issuance to the date of conversion of
such Security, and, second, to the portion attributable to the balance of the
principal amount of such Security.

 

SECTION 13.05.  Adjustment of Conversion Price. Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.03 for Securities of such
Series, the conversion price for Securities convertible into Common Shares
shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(a)          If the Company shall (x) pay a dividend or make a distribution on
Common Shares in Common Shares, (y) subdivide the outstanding Common
Shares into a greater number of shares or (z) combine the outstanding
Common Shares into a smaller number of shares, the conversion price for the
Securities of such Series shall be adjusted so that the Holder of any such
Security thereafter surrendered for conversion shall be entitled to receive the
number of Common Shares that such Holder would have owned or have been entitled
to receive after the happening of any of the events described above had such
Security been converted immediately prior to the record date in the case of a
dividend or the effective date in the case of subdivision or combination. An
adjustment made pursuant to this Section 13.05(a) shall become
effective immediately after the record date in the case of a dividend, except
as provided in Section 13.05(h), and shall become effective immediately
after the effective date in the case of a subdivision or combination.

 

(b)         If the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders of Common
Shares entitling them (for a period expiring within 45 days after the record
date mentioned below) to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at a price per
share less than the current market price per share of Common Shares (as defined
for purposes of this Section 13.05(b) in Section 13.05(e)), at
the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive such
rights or warrants, the conversion price in effect immediately prior thereto
shall be adjusted so that the same shall equal the price determined by
multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to such record
date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of Common Shares
outstanding on such record date plus the number of Common Shares which the
aggregate offering price of the total number of Common Shares so offered would
purchase at such current market price, and the denominator of which shall be
the number of Common Shares outstanding on such record date plus the number of
additional Common Shares receivable upon exercise of such rights or warrants.
Such adjustment shall be made successively whenever any such rights or warrants
are issued, and shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 13.05(h),
after such record date. In determining whether any rights or warrants entitle
the Holders of the Securities of such Series to subscribe for or purchase
Common Shares at less than such current market price, and in determining the
aggregate offering price of such Common Shares, there shall be taken into
account any consideration received by the Company for such rights or warrants
plus the exercise price thereof, the value of such consideration or exercise
price, as the case may be, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of
Directors.

 

(c)          If the Company shall distribute to all holders of Common Shares any
shares of capital stock of the Company (other than Common Shares) or evidences
of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions paid
from retained earnings of the Company) or rights or warrants to subscribe for
or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights or warrants referred
to in Section 13.05(b)) (any of the foregoing being herein in this Section 13.05(c) called
the “SPECIAL SECURITIES”), the conversion price shall be adjusted as provided
in the next sentence unless the Company elects to reserve such Special
Securities for distribution to the Holders of Securities of such Series upon
the conversion so that any such 

 

37

 

Holder
converting such Securities will receive upon such conversion, in addition to
the Common Shares to which such Holder is entitled, the amount and kind of
Special Securities which such Holder would have received if such Holder had,
immediately prior to the record date for the distribution of the Special
Securities, converted Securities into Common Shares. The conversion price, as
adjusted, shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price
in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction the numerator of
which shall be the current market price per share (as defined for purposes of
this Section 13.05(c) in Section 13.05(e)) of Common Shares on
the record date mentioned above less the then fair market value (as determined
by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall, if made in good faith, be
conclusive) of the portion of the Special Securities so distributed applicable
to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be the current market
price per Common Shares (as defined in Section 13.05(e)). In the event the
then fair market value (as so determined) of the portion of the Special
Securities so distributed applicable to one Common Share is equal to or greater
than the current market price per Common Share (as defined in Section 13.05(e))
on the record date mentioned above, in lieu of the foregoing adjustment,
adequate provision shall be made so that each Holder of Securities of such Series shall
have the right to receive the amount and kind of Special Securities such holder
would have received had he converted such Securities immediately prior to the
record date for the distribution of the Special Securities. Such adjustment
shall become effective immediately, except as provided in Section 13.05(h),
after the record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive
such distribution.

 

(d)         If, pursuant to Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c), the conversion
price shall have been adjusted because the Company has declared a dividend, or
made a distribution, on the outstanding Common Shares in the form of any right
or warrant to purchase securities of the Company, or the Company has issued any
such right or warrant, then, upon the expiration of any such unexercised right
or unexercised warrant, the conversion price shall forthwith be adjusted to
equal the conversion price that would have applied had such right or warrant
never been declared, distributed or issued.

 

(e)          For the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(b), the
current market price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the
average of the reported last sales prices for the 30 consecutive Trading Days
(as defined below) commencing 45 Trading Days before the date in question. For
the purpose of any computation under Section 13.05(c), the current market
price per Common Share on any date shall be deemed to be the average of the
reported last sales prices for the ten consecutive Trading Days before the date
in question. The reported last sales price for each day (whether for purposes
of Section 13.05(b) or 13.05(c)) shall be the reported last sales
price, regular way, or, in case no sale takes place on such day, the average of
the reported closing bid and asked prices, regular way, in either case as
reported on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Tape or, if the Common Shares
are not listed or admitted to trading on the New York Stock Exchange, on the
principal national securities exchange on which the Common Shares are listed or
admitted to trading or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national
securities exchange, on the Nasdaq National Market or, if the Common Shares are
not quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, the average of the closing bid and
asked prices on such day in the over-the-counter market as furnished by any New
York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common Shares
selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors or, if no such quotations
are available, the fair market value of the Common Shares as determined by a
New York Stock Exchange member firm regularly making a market in the Common
Shares selected for such purpose by the Board of Directors. As used herein, the
term “TRADING DAY” with respect to the Common Shares means (x) if the
Common Shares are listed or admitted for trading on the New York Stock Exchange
or another national securities exchange, a day on which the New York Stock
Exchange or such other national securities exchange is open for business, (y) if
the Common Shares are quoted on the Nasdaq National Market, a day on which
trades may be made on the Nasdaq National Market or (z) otherwise, any day
other than a Saturday or Sunday or a day on which banking institutions in the
State of New York are authorized or obligated by law or executive order to
close.

 

(f)            No adjustment in the conversion price shall
be required unless such adjustment would require an increase or decrease of at
least 1% in such price. Any adjustments that by reason of this Section 13.05(f) are
not required to be made, however, shall be carried forward and taken into
account in any subsequent adjustment. Any adjustment required to be made in
accordance with the provisions of this 

 

38

 

Article 13
shall be made not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve
the tax free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common Shares. All
calculations under this Article 13 shall be made to the nearest cent or to
the nearest one-one hundredth of a share, as the case may be, with one-half
cent and one-two hundredth of a share, respectively, being rounded upward. The
Company shall be entitled to make such reductions in the conversion price, in
addition to those required by this Section 13.05, as it in its discretion
shall determine to be advisable in order that any stock dividend, subdivision
of shares, distribution of rights or warrants to purchase stock or securities
or distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) made by the Company
to its shareholders shall not be taxable.

 

(g)         Whenever the conversion price is adjusted, the Company shall file with
the Trustee, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and with the office
or agency maintained by the Company for the conversion of Securities of such Series pursuant
to Section 3.02, an Officers’ Certificate, setting forth the conversion
price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts
requiring such adjustment, which certificate shall be conclusive evidence of
the correctness of such adjustment. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion
agent shall be under any duty or responsibility with respect to any such
certificate or any facts or computations set forth therein, except to exhibit
said certificate from time to time to any Holder of a Security of such Series desiring
to inspect the same. The Company shall promptly cause a notice setting forth
the adjusted conversion price to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of such
Series, as their names and addresses appear upon the Security register.

 

(h)         In any case in which this Section 13.05 provides that an
adjustment shall become effective immediately after a record date for an event,
the Company may defer until the occurrence of such event (y) issuing to
the Holder of any Security of such Series converted after such record date
and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common Shares issuable
upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over
and above the Common Shares issuable upon such conversion before giving effect
to such adjustment and (z) paying to such holder any amount in cash in
lieu of any fractional Common Shares pursuant to Section 13.06.

 

SECTION 13.06.  No Fractional Shares to Be Issued. No
fractional Common Shares shall be issued upon any conversion of Securities. If
more than one Security of any Series shall be surrendered for conversion
at one time by the same Holder, the number of full Common Shares which shall be
issuable upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such Series (or specified
portions thereof to the extent permitted hereby) so surrendered. Instead of a
fraction of a Common Share which would otherwise be issuable upon conversion of
any Security or Securities (or specified portions thereof), the Company shall
pay a cash adjustment (computed to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being
rounded upward) in respect of such fraction of a share in an amount equal to
the same fractional interest of the reported last sales price (as defined in Section 13.05(e))
of the Common Shares on the Trading Day (as defined in Section 13.05(e))
next preceding the day of conversion.

 

SECTION 13.07.  Preservation of Conversion Rights upon
Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Conveyance. In case of any consolidation of the
Company with, or merger of the Company into, any other corporation (other than
a consolidation or merger in which the Company is the surviving corporation),
or in the case of any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the
assets of the Company, the corporation formed by such consolidation or the
corporation into which the Company shall have been merged or the corporation
which shall have acquired such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and
deliver to the Trustee a supplemental indenture in accordance with the
provisions of Articles 8 and 9 as they relate to supplemental indentures,
providing that the Holder of each Outstanding Security that was convertible
into Common Shares shall have the right thereafter to convert such Security
into the kind and amount of shares of stock and other securities and property,
including cash, receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by
a holder of the number of Common Shares into which such Securities might have
been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer. Such supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which shall
be as nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for
in this Article 13. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall
have any liability or responsibility for determining the correctness of any
provision contained in any such supplemental indenture relating either to the
kind or amount of shares of stock or other securities or property receivable by
Holders of the Securities upon the conversion of their Securities after any
such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, or to any adjustment to be made
with respect thereto and, subject to the provisions of Section 313 of the
Trust Indenture Act, may accept as 

 

39

 

conclusive evidence of the
correctness of any such provisions, and shall be protected in relying upon, an
Officers’ Certificate with respect thereto and an Opinion of Counsel with
respect to legal matters related thereto. If in the case of any such
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer, the stock or other securities and
property receivable by a Holder of the Securities includes stock or other
securities and property of a corporation other than the successor or purchasing
corporation, then such supplemental indenture shall also be executed by such
other corporation and shall contain such additional provisions to protect the
interests of the Holders of the Securities as the Board of Directors shall
reasonably consider necessary. The above provisions of this Section 13.07
shall similarly apply to successive consolidations, mergers, sales or
transfers.

 

SECTION 13.08.  Notice to Holders of the Securities of a Series Prior
to Taking Certain Types of Action. With respect to the Securities of any
Series, in case:

 

(a)          the Company shall authorize the issuance to all holders of Common
Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase shares of its capital
stock or of any other right;

 

(b)         the Company shall authorize the distribution to all holders of Common
Shares of evidences of indebtedness or assets (except for cash dividends or
distributions paid from retained earnings of the Company);

 

(c)          of any subdivision or combination of Common Shares or of any consolidation
or merger to which the Company is a party and for which approval by the
shareholders of the Company is required, or of the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company; or

 

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

 

the Company shall cause to
be filed with the Trustee and at the office or agency maintained for the
purpose of conversion of Securities of such Series pursuant to Section 3.02,
and shall cause to be mailed to the Holders of Securities of such Series at
their last addresses as they shall appear on the Security register, at least
ten days prior to the applicable record date hereinafter specified, a notice
stating (i) the date as of which the holders of Common Shares to be
entitled to receive any such rights, warrants or distribution are to be
determined, or (ii) the date on which any such subdivision, combination,
consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation, winding up or
other action is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is
expected that holders of record of Common Shares shall be entitled to exchange
their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon
such subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation, winding up or other action. The failure to give the
notice required by this Section 13.08 or any defect therein shall not
affect the legality or validity of any distribution, right, warrant,
subdivision, combination, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer, dissolution,
liquidation, winding up or other action, or the vote upon any of the foregoing.

 

SECTION 13.09.  Covenant to Reserve Shares for Issuance on
Conversion of Securities. The Company at all times will reserve and keep
available out of each class of its authorized Common Shares, free from
preemptive rights, solely for the purpose of issue upon conversion of
Securities of any Series as herein provided, such number of Common Shares
as shall then be issuable upon the conversion of all Outstanding Securities of
such Series. The Company covenants that all Common Shares which shall be so
issuable, when issued or delivered, shall be duly and validly issued Common
Shares into which Securities of such Series are convertible, and shall be
fully paid and nonassessable, free of all liens and charges and not subject to
preemptive rights and that, upon conversion, the appropriate capital stock
accounts of the Company will be duly credited.

 

SECTION 13.10.  Compliance with Governmental Requirements. If
any Common Shares required to be reserved for purposes of conversion of
Securities hereunder require registration or listing with or approval of any
governmental authority under any Federal or State law, pursuant to the Securities
Act or the Securities Exchange Act or any national or regional securities
exchange on which the Common Shares are listed at the time of delivery of any
Common Shares, the Company will use its best efforts to cause such shares to be
duly registered, listed or approved, as the case may be, before such shares may
be issued upon conversion.

 

40

 

SECTION 13.11.  Payment of Taxes upon Certificates for Shares
Issued upon Conversion. The issuance of certificates for Common Shares upon the
conversion of Securities shall be made without charge to the converting Holders
for any tax (including documentary and stamp taxes) in respect of the issuance
and delivery of such certificates, and such certificates shall be issued in the
respective names of, or in such names as may be directed by, the Holders of the
Securities converted. The Company, however, shall not be required to pay any
tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and
delivery of any such certificate in a name other than that of the Holder of the
Security converted, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver
such certificate unless or until the Person or Persons requesting the issuance
thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have
established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

 

SECTION 13.12.  Trustee’s Duties with Respect to Conversion
Provisions. The Trustee and any conversion agent shall have no duty to any
Holder to determine whether any facts exist that may require any adjustment of
the conversion rate, or with respect to the nature or extent of any such
adjustment when made, or with respect to the method employed, in making the
same. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent shall be accountable with
respect to the registration under securities laws, listing, validity or value
(or the kind or amount) of any Common Shares, or of any other securities or
property, that at any time may be issued or delivered upon the conversion of
any Security, and neither the Trustee nor any conversion agent makes any
representation with respect thereto. Neither the Trustee nor any conversion
agent shall be responsible for any failure of the Company to make any payment
or to issue, transfer or deliver any Common Shares or stock certificates or
other securities or property upon the surrender of any Security for the purpose
of conversion. The Trustee and any conversion agent, subject to the provisions
of Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act, shall not be responsible for
any failure of the Company to comply with any of the covenants contained in
this Article 13.

 

SECTION 13.13.  Conversion of Securities into Preferred
Shares or Other Securities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article 13,
the Company may issue Securities that are convertible into Preferred Shares or
other securities of the Company, including Preferred Shares convertible into
Common Shares, in which case all terms and conditions relating to the
conversion of Securities into Preferred Shares or other securities, including
any terms similar to those provided in Sections 13.01 through 13.12, shall be
as provided in or pursuant to an appropriate resolution of the Board of
Directors or in any indenture supplemental hereto or as otherwise contemplated
by Section 2.03.

 

ARTICLE
14

SUBORDINATION OF SECURITIES

 

SECTION 14.01.  Securities Subordinated to Senior
Indebtedness. The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of Securities,
by his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that the indebtedness
represented by the Securities and the payment of any and all amounts payable in
respect of each and all of the Securities is expressly subordinated, to the
extent and in the manner hereinafter set forth, in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date
of this Indenture or thereafter incurred, assumed or guaranteed.

 

In the event (x) of any
distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution, winding up,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company whether in a bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or receivership proceeding or upon an assignment for
the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets and liabilities
of the Company or otherwise, except a distribution in connection with a merger
or consolidation or a conveyance or transfer of all or substantially all of the
properties of the Company which complies with the requirements of Article 9,
(y) that a default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to
the payment of any amount payable in respect of any Senior Indebtedness or (z) that
the principal of the Securities of any Series shall have been declared due
and payable pursuant to Section 5.01 and such declaration shall not have
been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 5.01, then:

 

(a)          in a circumstance described in the foregoing clause (x) or (y) the
holders of all Senior Indebtedness, and in the circumstance described in the
foregoing clause (z) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness the principal
of which shall have been so declared due and payable, shall first be entitled
to receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made
for such payment, before the 

 

41

 

Holders
of any of the Securities are entitled to receive any payment in respect of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities;

 

(b)         any payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities (other than securities of
the Company as reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any
other corporation provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the
payment of which is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article 14
with respect to the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness,
provided that the rights of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness are not
altered by such reorganization or readjustment), to which the Holders of any of
the Securities would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article 14
shall be paid or delivered by the person making such payment or distribution,
whether a trustee in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or
otherwise, directly to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their
representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instrument evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness
may have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining
unpaid on account of such Senior Indebtedness held or represented by each, to
the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness
remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution
(or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before any
payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the indebtedness evidenced by
the Securities under this Indenture; and

 

(c)          in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or
distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in
cash, property or securities (other than securities of the Company as
reorganized or readjusted or securities of the Company or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment the payment of which
is subordinate, at least to the extent provided in this Article 14 with
respect to the Securities, to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness, provided
that the rights of the holders of Senior Indebtedness are not altered by such
reorganization or readjustment), shall be received by the Holders of any of the
Securities before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full, such payment or
distribution shall be paid over to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or
their representative or representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any
indenture under which any instruments evidencing any of such Senior
Indebtedness may have been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the
payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid until all such Senior
Indebtedness shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness.

 

SECTION 14.02.  Subrogation. Subject to the payment in full
of all Senior Indebtedness to which the indebtedness evidenced by the
Securities is in the circumstances subordinated as provided in Section 14.01,
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of cash,
property or securities of the Company applicable to such Senior Indebtedness
until all amounts owing on the Securities shall be paid in full. As between the
Company, its creditors other than holders of such Senior Indebtedness and the
Holders of the Securities, no such payment or distribution made to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness by virtue of this Article 14 which otherwise
would have been made to the Holders of the Securities shall be deemed to be a
payment by the Company on account of such Senior Indebtedness, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article 14 are and are intended
solely for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the
Securities, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior Indebtedness.

 

SECTION 14.03.  Obligation of the Company Unconditional.
Nothing contained in this Article 14 or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
the Securities is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company, its
creditors other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, and the Holders of the
Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional,
to pay to the Holders of the Securities the principal of and interest on and
any additional amounts owing in respect of the Securities as and when the same
shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended to
or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities and creditors
of the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from
exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default
under this Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article 14
of the holders of Senior Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or
securities of the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

 

42

 

Upon any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article 14, the
Trustee and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which any such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding affecting the
affairs of the Company is pending or upon a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, assignee for the benefit of creditors, liquidating
trustee or agent or other person making any payment or distribution, delivered
to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount paid or distributed
thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article 14.

 

SECTION 14.04.  Payments on Securities Permitted. Nothing
contained in this Article 14 or elsewhere in this Indenture, or in any of
the Securities, shall affect the obligation of the Company to make, or prevent
the Company from making, payment of the principal of or interest on or any
additional amounts owing in respect of the Securities in accordance with the
provisions hereof and thereof, except as otherwise provided in this Article 14.
No provision of this Article 14 shall prevent the occurrence of any
default or Event of Default hereunder.

 

SECTION 14.05.  Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee.
Each Holder of Securities, by his acceptance thereof, authorizes and directs
the Trustee in his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article 14
and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

SECTION 14.06.  Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article 14 or any other provisions of this Indenture,
the Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness and shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of
any facts which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee,
or the taking of any other action by the Trustee, unless and until the Trustee
shall have received written notice thereof from the Company, any Holder of
Securities, any paying or conversion agent of the Company or the holder or
representative of any class of Senior Indebtedness. If the Trustee shall not
have received the notice provided for in this Section 14.06 at least three
Business Days prior to the date upon which, by the terms hereof, any amounts
may become payable for any purpose (including the payment of the principal of
or interest on, or additional amounts owing in respect of, any Security) then,
anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
have all power and authority to receive such money and to apply the same to the
purpose for which such money was received and shall not be affected by any
notice to the contrary which may be received by it during or after such three
Business Day period.

 

SECTION 14.07.  Trustee May Hold Senior Indebtedness.
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the rights set
forth in this Article 14 with respect to any Senior Indebtedness at the
time held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness,
and nothing in Section 313 of the Trust Indenture Act or elsewhere in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

 

Nothing in this Article 14
shall subordinate any claims of, or payments to, the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.07
to Senior Indebtedness.

 

SECTION 14.08.  Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness Not
Impaired. No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness
to enforce the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company
or by any non-compliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such
holder may have or be otherwise charged with.

 

SECTION 14.09.  Default in Senior Indebtedness.

 

(a)          Subject to Section 14.09(b), upon the happening of any event of
default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, as such event of default is
defined in the instrument under which the Senior Indebtedness is outstanding,
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, directly or indirectly, may demand by
giving written notice to the Company and the Trustee that, until such event of
default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, the
Company be prohibited from:

 

43

 

(i)             exercising any right of redemption with
respect to the Securities of any Series pursuant to Article 12;

 

(ii)          making any payments with respect to the
redemption of the Securities of any Series that were called for redemption
pursuant to Article 12 prior to the happening of an event of default with
respect to any Senior Indebtedness;

 

(iii)       making any payment with respect to the
principal of and interest on the Securities of any Series or as a sinking
fund payment pursuant to Article 12; and

 

(iv)      making any payment with respect to the
repayment of the Securities of any Series at the option of the Holders
pursuant to Section 12.06.

 

(b)         If the holders of the Senior Indebtedness, directly or indirectly, fail
to demand the rights provided in Section 14.09(a) within 90 days of
the happening of an event of default with respect to such Senior Indebtedness
they shall be deemed to have waived such rights with respect to such event of
default; provided, however, that such waiver shall not affect the ability of
the holders of the Senior Indebtedness to demand such rights upon the happening
of any other event of default.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
parties hereto have caused this Indenture to be duly executed, as of the day
and year first above written.
