1.                                       Award.  Pursuant to the Anika Therapeutics, Inc.
2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) as amended through the date
hereof, Anika Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby grants to the
Grantee named above the number of restricted Deferred Stock Units (“RSUs”)
specified above.  This Award represents a
promise to pay out to the Grantee at a future date, subject to the restrictions
and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, a number of shares of common
stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Stock”) of the Company equal to the
number of vested RSUs.

 

2.                                       Restrictions
and Conditions.

 

(a)                                  The
RSUs are subject to restrictions as set forth herein and in the Plan.

 

(b)                                 The
RSUs granted herein may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or
otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Grantee prior to vesting.

 

3.                                       Vesting of
RSUs.  The restrictions and
conditions in Paragraph 2 of this Agreement shall lapse on the Vesting
Date or Dates specified in the following schedule so long as the Grantee
remains a Director of the Company on such date. 
If a series of Vesting Dates is specified, then the restrictions and
conditions in Paragraph 2 shall lapse only with respect to the number of
RSUs specified as vested on such date.

 

	
  Number of

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
  RSUs Vested

  	
   

  	
  Vesting Date

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
           (33.33%)

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
           (66.66%)

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
           (100%)

  	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  

 

Subsequent to such vesting date or dates, the RSUs with respect to
which all restrictions and conditions have lapsed shall no longer be deemed
restricted and shall be considered vested. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all RSUs shall vest and all restrictions
with respect to such RSUs shall lapse upon the earliest of Grantee’s death,
disability, retirement or the termination of his service as a Director,
provided that, in each case, the Board has not determined that the Grantee is a
Director not in good standing as of such date. 
Except as set forth in the immediately preceding
sentence of this Paragraph 3 or Paragraph 6 of this Agreement, if the Grantee
ceases to 

 

 

be a Director prior to vesting of the RSUs granted herein, all unvested
RSUs shall immediately and automatically be forfeited and returned to the
Company.

 

4.                                       Timing and Form of Payout. 
Except as provided in Paragraph 6 below, the vested RSUs will be paid
out in full in the form of shares of Stock immediately following (but in no
event later than 30 days following) the date such RSUs vest pursuant to
Paragraph 3 above.

 

5.                                       Restrictions on Rights as a Stockholder. 
Until such time as the vested RSUs are paid out in shares of Stock and the
Grantee becomes a record holder of those shares of Stock following their actual
issuance pursuant to Paragraph 4 of this Agreement, the Grantee shall have no rights as a
stockholder of the Company, provided, however, that the Grantee may be credited
with Dividend Equivalent Rights in accordance with Paragraph 7 below.

 

6.                                       Change
of Control.  Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event of a Change of Control of the
Company prior to the payout of shares of Stock pursuant to Paragraph 4, all
unvested RSUs held by the Grantee not yet paid out shall be immediately vested
and paid out to the Grantee in the form of shares of Stock immediately prior to
the occurrence of such Change of Control, provided that, the Board has not
determined that the Grantee is a Director not in good standing as of the
effective date of such Change of Control.

 

7.                                       Dividend
Equivalent Rights.

 

(a)                                  If on any date the Company shall
pay any cash dividend on shares of Stock of the Company, the number of RSUs
granted hereunder to the Grantee shall, as of such date, be increased by an
amount determined by the following formula:

 

W = (X
multiplied by Y) divided by Z, where:

 

W = the number of additional RSUs to be
granted to the Grantee on such dividend payment date;

 

X = the aggregate number of RSUs
granted to the Grantee that remain unvested as of the record date of the
dividend;

 

Y = the cash dividend per share amount;
and

 

Z = the Fair Market Value (as defined
under the Plan) per share of Stock on the dividend payment date.

 

(b)                                 In the case of a dividend paid
on Stock in the form of Stock, including without limitation a distribution of
Stock by reason of a stock dividend, stock split or otherwise, to the extent
not adjusted for pursuant to the Plan, the number of RSUs granted to the
Grantee shall be increased by a number equal to the product of (i) the
aggregate number of RSUs that have been granted to the Grantee and remain
unvested through the related dividend record date, and (ii) the number of
shares of Stock (including any fraction thereof) payable as a dividend on one
share of Stock.

 

2

 

(c)                                  Any additional RSUs so granted
pursuant to this Paragraph 7 shall be subject to the vesting and restrictions
of this Agreement in the same manner and for so long as the RSUs granted
pursuant to this Agreement to which they relate remain subject to such vesting
and restrictions, and shall be promptly forfeited to the Company if and when
such RSUs are so forfeited.

 

8.                                       Beneficiary Designation.  The
Grantee may, from time to time, name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may
be named contingently or successively) to whom any benefit under this Agreement
is to be paid in case of his or her death before he or she receives any or all
of such benefit.  Each such designation
shall revoke all prior designations by the Grantee, shall be in a form
prescribed by the Company, and will be effective only when filed by the Grantee
in writing with the Company during the Grantee’s lifetime.  In the absence of any such designation,
benefits remaining unpaid at the Grantee’s death shall be paid to the Grantee’s
estate.

 

9.                                       Continuation of Service as Director.  This
Agreement shall not confer upon the Grantee any right to continue service with
the Company, nor shall this Agreement interfere in any way with the Company’s
right to terminate the Grantee’s service at any time.

 

10.                                 Incorporation of
Plan.  Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by all
the terms and conditions of the Plan. 
Capitalized terms in this Agreement shall have the meaning specified in
the Plan, unless a different meaning is specified herein.

 

11.                                 Transferability.  This Agreement is personal to the Grantee, is
non-assignable and is not transferable in any manner, by operation of law or
otherwise, other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

12.                                 Notices.  Notices hereunder shall be mailed or
delivered to the Company at its principal place of business and shall be mailed
or delivered to the Grantee at the address on file with the Company or, in
either case, at such other address as one party may subsequently furnish to the
other party in writing.

Upon any
application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
any provision of this Indenture, the Company, any Guarantor and any other
obligor on the Securities of any series shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided
for in this Indenture (including any covenants compliance with which
constitutes a condition precedent) 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 request as to which the furnishing
of such documents, certificates and/or opinions is specifically required by any
provision of this Indenture relating to such particular application or request,
no additional certificate or opinion need be furnished.

 

Every certificate
or Opinion of Counsel with respect to compliance with a condition or covenant
provided for in this Indenture shall include:

 

(a)                                  a

(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;

informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition has been
complied with; and

 

(d)                                 a
statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition
or covenant has been complied with.

 

Section 104.                                Form of
Documents Delivered to Trustee.

 

In any case where
several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an opinion of,
any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be certified
by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so
certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or
give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such Persons
as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to
such matters in one or several documents.

Any certificate or
opinion of an officer of the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor of the

Any such certificate or opinion may be based, insofar as it relates to factual
matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or
officers of the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor of the Securities of
any series stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is
in the possession of the Company, any Guarantor or other obligor of the
Securities of that series, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are erroneous. Opinions
of Counsel required to be delivered to the Trustee may have qualifications
customary for opinions of the type required and counsel delivering such
Opinions of Counsel may rely on certificates of the Company or government or
other officials customary for opinions of the type required, including
certificates certifying as to matters of fact, including that various financial
covenants have been complied with.

 

Where any Person
is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,

Section 105.                                Acts of Holders.

 

(a)                                  Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be
embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar
tenor signed by such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in
writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Procedures
in connection to acts of Holders with respect to Bearer Securities shall be as provided
pursuant to Section 301. Such instrument or instruments (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution
of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture, if made in the manner provided in
this Section. The fact and date of the execution by any person of any such
instrument or writing or the authority of the person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient in
accordance with such reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine.

 

(b)                                 The
ownership of Securities of any series shall be proved by the Security Register.

 

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

 

19

 

(d)                                 If
the Company shall solicit from the Holders of Securities of one or more series
any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, the Company may, at its option, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, fix
in advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so. Notwithstanding
Trust Indenture Act Section 316(c), any such record date shall be the
record date specified in or pursuant to such Board Resolution, which shall be a
date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of Holders generally
in connection therewith and no later than the date such solicitation is
completed.

 

In the absence of
any such record date fixed by the Company, regardless as to whether a
solicitation of the Holders of Securities of one or more series is occurring on
behalf of the Company or any Holder, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in
advance a record date for the determination of such Holders entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act, but the Trustee shall have no obligation to do so. Any such record date
shall be a date not more than 30 days prior to the first solicitation of
Holders generally in connection therewith and no later than a date such
solicitation is completed.

 

If such a record
date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the
Holders of record at the close of business on such record date shall be deemed
to be Holders for purposes of determining whether Holders of Securities of one
or more series of the requisite proportion of Securities then Outstanding have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for this purpose the
Securities of any series then Outstanding shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act by the Holders on such record date shall be deemed
effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this
Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

 

Section 106.                                Notices, etc., to
Trustee, the Company and any Guarantor.

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

Trustee by any Holder or by the Company or any Guarantor or any other obligor
of the Securities shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight
courier, to or with the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office, Attention:
Corporate Trust Division, or at any other address previously furnished in
writing to the Holders, the Company, any Guarantor or any other obligor of the
Securities by the Trustee; or

 

20

 

(b)                                 the
Company or any Guarantor shall be sufficient for every purpose (except as
provided in Section 501(c)) hereunder or pursuant to Section 301 if
in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized
overnight courier, to the Company or such Guarantor addressed to it at Sinclair
Broadcast Group, Inc.,10706 Beaver Dam Road; Hunt Valley, Maryland 21030,

Section 107.                                Notice to Holders;
Waiver.

 

Where this
Indenture or the Securities of any series provides for notice to Holders of the
Securities of any series of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given
(unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, or delivered by recognized overnight courier, to
each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the
Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the
earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where
notice to Holders 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. Any notice when mailed
to a Holder in the aforesaid manner shall be conclusively deemed to have been
received by such Holder whether or not actually received by such Holder. 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.

 

Notices to Holders
of Bearer Securities shall be provided as may be specified pursuant to Section 301.

 

In case by reason
of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause, it shall
be impracticable to mail notice of any event as required by any provision of
this Indenture, then any method of giving such notice as shall be reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.

 

Section 108.                                Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act.

 

If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with any provision of the Trust Indenture
Act or another provision which is required or deemed to be included in this
Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, the provision or
requirement of the Trust Indenture Act 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 114.           Legal

any Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date or Stated Maturity of any Security
of any series shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other

principal or premium, if any, need not be made on such date, but may be made on

be provided (i) by a Board Resolution, (ii) by action taken pursuant

Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth,
or providing the manner for determining, the terms of the Securities of that
series, and an appropriate record of any action taken pursuant thereto in
connection with the issuance of any Securities of that series shall be
delivered to the Trustee prior to the authentication and delivery thereof.

 

(f)            Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, payment of the principal of, premium, if

the Company maintained for that purpose as the Company may designate pursuant
to Section 301, in the United States, in such coin or currency of the
United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the
Company payment of interest may be made (i) by check mailed to addresses
of the Persons entitled thereto as such addresses shall appear on the Security
Register or (ii) by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an
account specified (not later than one Business Day prior to the applicable
Interest Payment Date) by the Holder thereof. If any of the Securities are held
by the Depository, payments of interest may be made by wire transfer to the
Depository. Procedures with respect to payments in connection with Bearer
Securities shall be established pursuant to Section 301.

provided pursuant to Section 301, the Securities shall be issuable only in
registered form without coupons and only in denominations of $1,000 and any
integral multiple of $1,000, and Bearer Securities shall be issued in
denominations of $5,000 or any integral multiple of $5,000. Securities
denominated in a foreign currency shall be issuable in such denominations as
are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant to this
Indenture.

 

29

 

Section 303.           Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Securities of any series shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by one of its Chairman of the Board, its
President or one of its Vice Presidents under its corporate seal reproduced
thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries.

 

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

 

At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the
Company may deliver Securities, together with any interest coupons appertaining
thereto, of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as provided in this
Indenture and not otherwise.

 

Each Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

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

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, in case the Company or any Guarantor,
pursuant to Article Eight, shall be consolidated, merged with or into any
other Person or shall sell, assign, convey, transfer or lease substantially all
of its properties and assets to any Person, and the successor Person resulting
from such consolidation, or surviving such merger, or into which the Company or
such Guarantor shall have been merged, or the Person which shall have received
a sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or lease as aforesaid, shall have
executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant to Article Eight,
any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such consolidation,
merger, sale, assignment, conveyance, transfer or lease may, from time to time,
at the request of the successor Person, be exchanged for other Securities
executed in the name of the successor Person with such changes in phraseology
and form as may be appropriate, but otherwise in substance of like tenor as the
Securities surrendered for such exchange and of like principal amount; and the
Trustee, upon Company Request of the successor Person, shall authenticate and
deliver Securities as specified in such request for the purpose of such
exchange. If Securities shall at any time be authenticated and delivered in any
new name of a successor Person pursuant to this Section in exchange or
substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities, such
successor Person, at the option of the Holders but without expense to them,
shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time Outstanding for
Securities authenticated and delivered in such new name.

 

30

 

The Trustee may
appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to authenticate
Securities on behalf of the Trustee. Unless limited by the terms of such
appointment, an authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the
Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the
Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the
same rights as any Security Registrar or Paying Agent to deal with the Company
and its Affiliates.

 

The Bearer
Securities will be transferable by delivery. Other terms, conditions and
restrictions in connection with Bearer Securities will be as provided pursuant
to Section 301.

 

The specific terms
of the depositary arrangement with respect to any portion of a series of
Securities to be represented by a Global Security will be as provided pursuant
to Section 301.

 

Section 304.           Temporary
Securities.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of any
series in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, after the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the temporary Securities of any series shall be
exchangeable for definitive Securities of that series upon surrender of the
temporary Securities of that series at the office or agency of the Company
designated for such purpose pursuant to Section 1002, without charge to
the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities
of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any
series shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture as definitive Securities of that series.

 

Section 305.           Global
Securities.

 

(a)           Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, any Global Security of any series shall,
if the Depositary permits, (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary
for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be
deposited with, or on behalf of, the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as
set forth in Section 202; provided, that the Securities are eligible to be
in the form of a Global Security.

 

31

 

Members of, or
participants in, the Depositary (“Agent Members”) shall have no rights under
this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the
Depositary, or the Trustee as its custodian, or under the Global Security, and
the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner of such Global Security for all
purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company from giving effect
to any written certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the
Depositary or shall impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members,
the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a
holder of any Security.

 

The Securities of
any series may also be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more
bearer global securities (a “Bearer Global Security”) that will be deposited
with a depositary, or with a nominee for such a depositary, as provided
pursuant to Section 301. Any Bearer Global Security may be issued in
temporary or permanent form. The specific terms and procedures, including the
specific terms of the depositary arrangement, with respect to any portion of a
series of Securities to be represented by one or more Bearer Global Securities
will be as provided pursuant to Section 301.

 

(b)           Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, transfers of the Global Security of a
series shall be limited to transfers of such Global Security in whole, but not
in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees.
Interests of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred in
accordance with the rules and procedures of the Depositary. Under the
circumstances described in this clause (b) below, beneficial owners shall
obtain physical securities in the form provided pursuant to Section 301 (“Physical
Securities”) in exchange for their beneficial interests in a Global Security in
accordance with the Depositary’s and the Securities Registrar’s procedures. In
connection with the execution, authentication and delivery of such Physical
Securities, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and records a
decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security equal to the principal
amount of such Physical Securities and the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or more Physical Securities having
an equal aggregate principal amount. Unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301,
the Securities will be delivered in certificated form if (i) the
Depositary ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act
or is not willing or no longer willing or able to provide securities depository
services with respect to the Securities and a successor depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days and (ii) the Company, in its sole
discretion, so determines or (iii) there shall have occurred an Event of
Default or an event which, with the giving of notice or lapse of time or both,
would constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Securities represented
by such Global Security and such Event of Default or event continues for a
period of 90 days.

 

(c)           In connection with
any transfer of a portion of the beneficial interest in a Global Security to a
Physical Security pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section to
beneficial owners, the Security Registrar shall reflect on its books and
records the date and a decrease in the principal amount of a Global Security in
an amount equal to the principal amount of the beneficial interest in the
Global Security to be transferred, and the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, one or more Physical Securities of like
tenor and amount.

 

32

 

(d)           In connection with
the transfer of the entire Global Security of any series to beneficial owners pursuant
to subsection (b) of this Section, a Global Security shall be deemed to be
surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, and the Company shall execute, and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, to each beneficial owner identified
by the Depositary in exchange for its beneficial interest in a Global Security,
an equal aggregate principal amount of Physical Securities of authorized
denominations.

 

(e)           The registered
holder of a Global Security may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any
person, including Agent Members and Persons that may hold interests through
Agent Members, to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this
Indenture or the Securities.

 

Section 306.           Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company shall cause to be kept at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or such other office as the Trustee
may designate, a register (the register maintained in such office and in any
other office or agency designated pursuant to Section 1002 being herein
sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as the Security Registrar may prescribe, the Company
shall provide for the registration of Securities of any series and of transfers
of Securities of any series. The Trustee or an agent thereof or of the Company
shall initially be the “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities of any series and transfers of Securities of any series as herein
provided.

 

Procedures with
respect to the registration and registration of transfer and exchange, and
other matters related thereto, with respect to Bearer Securities shall be
provided pursuant to Section 301.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company
designated pursuant to Section 1002, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated
transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of that series of any
authorized denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount.

 

Furthermore, any
Holder of a Global Security shall, by acceptance of such Global Security, agree
that transfers of beneficial interest in such Global Security may be effected
only through a book-entry system maintained by the Holder of such Global
Security (or its agent), and that ownership of a beneficial interest in the
Securities shall be required to be reflected in a book entry.

 

33

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, at the option of the Holder, Securities
of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of that series of any authorized
denomination or denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Securities of that series to be exchanged at such office or
agency. Whenever any Securities of any series are so surrendered for exchange,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities of that series which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

 

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

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, every Security presented or surrendered
for registration of transfer, or for exchange or redemption shall (if so
required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing.

 

No service charge
shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange or
redemption of Securities of any series, but the Company may require payment of
a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer
taxes or other governmental charges that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Sections 303, 304, 305, 306, 307 and 906, not involving any
transfer.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company shall not be required (a) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security of any series during a
period beginning at the opening of business (i) 15 days before the date of
selection of Securities of that series for redemption under Section 1104
and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection or (ii) 15
days before an Interest Payment Date and ending on the close of business on the
Interest Payment Date, or (b) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security of that series so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of Securities of that series being redeemed in part.

 

Except as
otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 304, any Security of a series
authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange
for, or in lieu of, any Global Security, whether pursuant to this Section,
Sections 304, 307, 906 or 1108 or otherwise, shall also be a Global Security
and bear the legend specified in Section 202.

 

34

 

Section 307.           Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If (a) any
mutilated Security of any series is surrendered to the Trustee, or (b) the
Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security of any series, and there is
delivered to the Company, each Guarantor and the Trustee, such security or
indemnity, in each case, as may be required by them to save each of them
harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the
Company shall execute and upon its written request the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for any such mutilated Security or in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a replacement Security of
that series of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

 

In case any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security of any series has become or is
about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of
issuing a replacement Security of that series, pay such Security.

 

Upon the issuance
of any replacement Securities of that series under this Section, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to pay all documentary, stamp or
similar issue or transfer taxes or other governmental charges that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

Every replacement
Security of a series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security of that series shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, if any,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security of that series shall be
at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
the same series duly issued hereunder.

 

Procedures
relating to mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Bearer Securities shall be
provided pursuant to Section 301.

 

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

 

Section 308.           [RESERVED]

 

Section 309.           Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, interest on any Security of a series
which 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 of that
series is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for
such interest.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, any interest on any Security of a series
which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date and interest on such defaulted interest at the then
applicable interest rate borne by the Securities of that series, to the extent
lawful (such defaulted interest and interest thereon herein collectively called
“Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
Regular Record Date; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at
its election in each case, as provided in Subsection (a) or (b) below:

 

35

 

(a)           The Company may
elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names
the Securities of that series 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
that series and the date (not less than 30 days after such notice) of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Subsection provided. Thereupon
the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior
to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company in writing of such Special Record Date. In the name
and at the expense of the Company, the Trustee shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date
therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at his
address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to
such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted
Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of that
series are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be
payable pursuant to the following Subsection (b).

 

(b)           The Company may make
payment of any Defaulted Interest 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 written notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the
proposed payment pursuant to this Subsection, such payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee.

 

Payment of
interest and preservation of interest rights of Bearer Securities shall be set
forth pursuant to Section 301.

 

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

 

Section 310.           Persons
Deemed Owners.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person
in whose name any Security of any series is registered as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any,
and (subject to Section 309) interest on such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security is overdue, and neither the
Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, any Guarantor
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

36

 

Unless otherwise
provided as contemplated by Section 301, the Company, any Guarantor, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat
the bearer of any Bearer Security of any series and the bearer of any interest
coupon as the absolute owner of such Bearer Security or interest coupon for the
purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes
whatsoever, whether or not such Bearer Security or interest coupon be overdue,
and neither the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company, the Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

 

No holder of any
beneficial interest in any Global Security of any series held on its behalf by
a Depositary of that series shall have any rights under this Indenture with
respect to such Global Security of that series, and such Depositary may be
treated by the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee as the owner of such Global Security for
all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, any Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company,
any Guarantor or the Trustee from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or impair, as between
the Depositary and such holders of beneficial interests, the operation of customary
practices governing the exercise of the rights of the Depositary (or its
nominee) as Holder of any Security of any series.

 

Section 311.           Cancellation.

 

All Securities of
any series surrendered for payment, purchase, redemption, registration of transfer
or exchange shall be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled,
shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company and any Guarantor may at any
time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of any series
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company or such
Guarantor may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities of any
series so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities
of any series shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any
Securities of that series canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities of any series
held by the Trustee shall be destroyed and certification of their destruction delivered
to the Company unless by a Company Order the Company shall direct that the
canceled Securities of that series be returned to it. The Trustee shall provide
the Company a list of all Securities of the series that have been canceled from
time to time as requested by the Company.

 

Section 312.           Computation
of Interest.

 

Except as
otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301, interest on the Securities of
all series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.

 

37

 

Section 313.                                CUSIP Numbers.

 

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

 

ARTICLE FOUR

 

DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT
DEFEASANCE

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, Securities of any series shall be
subject to the following provisions:

 

Section 401.                                Company’s Option to
Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Company may, at its option by Board
Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of any series, elect to
have either Section 402 or

 

Section 403
be applied to all of the Outstanding Securities of any series (the “Defeased
Securities”), upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article Four.

 

Section 402.                                Defeasance and
Discharge.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, upon the Company’s exercise under Section 401
of the option applicable to this Section 402, the Company, each of the
Guarantors, if any, and any other obligor upon the Securities of any series, if
any, shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect
to the Defeased Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are
satisfied (hereinafter, “defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means
that the Company, each of the Guarantors, if any, and any other obligor under
the Indenture shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire
Indebtedness represented by the Defeased Securities of that series, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of Section 405
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in (a) and (b) below,
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, and, upon written request, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights
of Holders of Defeased Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 404 and as more fully set forth in such Section,
payments in respect of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on such
Securities when such payments

 

38

 

are
due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Defeased
Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (c) the rights,
powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder, including,
without limitation, the Trustee’s rights under Section 606, (d) this Article Four
and (e) if the Security is convertible, the right of the Holder to convert
the Security according to the terms set forth pursuant to Section 301.
Subject to compliance with this Article Four, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 402 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its
option under Section 403 with respect to the Securities of that series.

 

Section 403.                                Covenant Defeasance.

 

Upon the Company’s
exercise under Section 401 of the option applicable to this Section 403,
the Company and each Guarantor shall be released from its obligations under any
covenant or provision contained or referred to in Article Ten (except Section 1002
and 1003) or otherwise set forth in this Indenture and expressly made subject
to this Section 403 pursuant to Section 301, and the provisions of Article Thirteen,
if applicable, shall not apply, with respect to the Defeased Securities on and
after the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant
defeasance”), and the Defeased Securities shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with such covenants
and the provisions of Article Thirteen, if applicable, but shall continue
to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose,
such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Defeased Securities,
the Company and each Guarantor may omit to comply with and shall have no
liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by
reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other
provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply shall not
constitute a Default or an Event of Default under Section 501(c), (d) or
(g), but, except as specified above, the remainder of this Indenture and such
Defeased Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

 

Section 404.                                Conditions to
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the following shall be the conditions to
application of either Section 402 or Section 403 to the Defeased
Securities:

 

(a)                                  The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 608 who
shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Article Four applicable
to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (a) United States dollars in an
amount, or (b) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled
payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment,
money in an amount, or (c) a combination thereof, sufficient, in the
opinion

 

39

 

of
a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or a nationally
recognized investment banking firm expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge and which shall be applied by
the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge the principal
of, premium, if any, and interest on the Defeased Securities on the Stated
Maturity of such principal or installment of principal or interest (or on the “Defeasance
Redemption Date” as defined pursuant to Section 301), if when exercising
under Section 401 either its option applicable to Section 402 or its
option applicable to Section 403, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an irrevocable notice to redeem all of the Outstanding Securities of
the applicable series on the Defeasance Redemption Date); provided that the
Trustee shall have been irrevocably instructed to apply such United States
dollars or the proceeds of such U.S. Government Obligations to said payments
with respect to the Securities of that series. For this purpose, “U.S.
Government Obligations” means securities that are (i) direct obligations
of the United States of America for the timely payment of which its full faith
and credit is pledged or (ii) obligations of a Person controlled or
supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States
of America the timely payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full
faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either
case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and
shall also include a depository receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of
the Securities Act), as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government
Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such U.S.
Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of
such depository receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such
custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to
the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian
in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of
principal of or interest on the U.S. Government Obligation evidenced by such
depository receipt.

 

(b)                                 In
the case of an election under Section 402, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States
stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been
published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date
of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax
law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of
Independent Counsel in the United States shall confirm that, the holders of the
Outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal
income tax purposes as a result of such defeasance and will be subject to
federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same
times as would have been the case if such defeasance had not occurred.

 

(c)                                  In
the case of an election under Section 403, the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel in the United States
to the effect that the holders of the Outstanding Securities will not recognize
income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such
covenant defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case
if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

 

40

 

(d)                                 No
Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing on the date
of such deposit or insofar as subsections 501(h) and (i) are
concerned, at any time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date
of deposit.

 

(e)                                  Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not cause the Trustee for the
Securities of that series to have a conflicting interest with respect to any
securities of the Company or any Guarantor.

 

(f)                                    Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a Default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement
or instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which it
is bound.

 

(g)                                 The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Independent Counsel
to the effect that (A) the trust funds will not be subject to any rights
of holders of senior Indebtedness or Guarantor Senior Indebtedness, including,
without limitation, those arising under this Indenture and (B) after the
91st day following the deposit, the trust funds will not be subject to the
effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws
affecting creditors’ rights generally.

 

(h)                                 The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the
holders of the Securities of that series or any Guarantee over the other
creditors of the Company or any Guarantor with the intent of defeating,
hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company, any Guarantor or
others.

 

(i)                                     No
event or condition shall exist that would prevent the Company from making
payments of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities
of that series on the date of such deposit or at any time ending on the 91st
day after the date of such deposit.

 

(j)                                     The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Independent Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent
provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 402 or the
covenant defeasance under Section 403 (as the case may be) have been
complied with as contemplated by this Section 404.

 

Opinions of
Counsel or Opinions of Independent Counsel required to be delivered under this Section may
have qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel
delivering such opinions may rely on certificates of the Company or government
or other officials customary for opinions of the type required, including
certificates certifying as to matters of fact, including that various financial
covenants have been complied with.

Section 405.                                Deposited Money and
U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Other Miscellaneous
Provisions.

 

Subject to the
provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all United States
dollars and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee as permitted under Section 404
(collectively, for purposes of this Section 405, the “Trustee”) pursuant
to Section 404 in respect of the Defeased Securities shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities
and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal, premium, if any, and interest, but such money
need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

The Company shall
pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on
or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 404
or the principal and interest received in respect thereof other than any such
tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of the
Defeased Securities.

 

Anything in this Article Four
to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the
Company from time to time upon Company Request any United States dollars or
U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 404 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 defeasance or covenant defeasance.

 

Section 406.                                Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee or
Paying Agent is unable to apply any United States dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 402 or 403, as the case may be, by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s and any Guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities of that series and the provisions of Article Thirteen hereof
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section 402
or 403, as the case may be, until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such United States dollars or U.S. Government
Obligations in accordance with Section 402 or 403, as the case may be;
provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment to the Trustee or
Paying Agent of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Trustee or Paying Agent
shall promptly pay any such amount to the Holders of the Securities of that
series and the Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such
Securities of that series to receive such payment from the money held by the
Trustee or Paying Agent.

Section 502.                                Acceleration of
Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, if an Event of Default (other than an
Event of Default specified in Sections 501(h) and (i)) shall occur and be
continuing, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Securities Outstanding of the applicable series may, and the
Trustee at the request of the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of the applicable series Outstanding shall,
declare all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on, all
the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by the Holders of the
Securities of that series). Thereupon the Trustee may, at its discretion,
proceed to protect and enforce the rights of the Holders of the Securities of
that series by appropriate judicial proceeding. If an Event of Default
specified in clause (h) or (i) of Section 501 occurs and is
continuing, then all the Securities shall ipso facto become and be immediately
due and payable, in an amount equal to the principal amount of the Securities
of that series, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date
the Securities become due and payable, without any declaration or other act on
the part of the Trustee or any Holder.

 

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, at any time after such declaration of
acceleration has been made but before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided,
the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities
Outstanding of the applicable series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

 

(a)                                  the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay

 

(1)                                  all sums paid or
advanced by the Trustee under this Indenture and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel,

 

(2)                                  all overdue interest
on all Securities of any series,

 

(3)                                  the principal of and
premium, if any, on any Securities of any series which have become due
otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and interest thereon at a
rate borne by the Securities, and

 

(4)                                  to the extent that
payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate
borne by the Securities; and

 

45

 

(b)                                 all
Events of Default, other than the non-payment of principal of the Securities of
any series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

 

No such rescission
shall affect any subsequent Default or impair any right consequent thereon
provided in Section 513. Provisions relating to acceleration of the
Maturity of a portion of the principal amount of an Original Issue Discount
Security upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the continuation
thereof shall be provided pursuant to Section 301.

 

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

 

The Company, as to
Securities of any series, and any Guarantor, as to Securities of any series
guaranteed by such Guarantor, covenant that if

 

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

 

(b)                                 default
is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any such
Security at the Stated Maturity thereof, the Company and, if applicable, any
such Guarantor will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities, subject to Article Thirteen, if
applicable, the whole amount then due and payable on such Securities for
principal and premium, if any, and interest, with interest upon the overdue
principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest
shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
rate borne by the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

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

 

If an Event of
Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders under this
Indenture or the Guarantees by such appropriate private or judicial proceedings
as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce such rights,
including, seeking recourse against any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of any
Guarantee, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in
this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or
therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy, including, without limitation,
seeking recourse against any Guarantor pursuant to the terms of a Guarantee, or
to enforce any other proper remedy, subject however to Section 512.

 

46

 

Section 504.                                Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor, including each
Guarantor, upon the Securities of any series or the property of the Company or
of such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether
the principal of the Securities of that series shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of
overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention
in such proceeding or otherwise,

 

(a)                                  to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal, and premium, if any,
and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of that 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 the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 

(b)                                 subject
to Article Thirteen, if applicable, to collect and receive any moneys,
securities or other property payable or deliverable upon any conversion or
exchange of Securities of that series or upon any such claims and to distribute
the same; and any custodian in any such judicial proceeding is hereby
authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the
event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to
the Holders, to pay the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.

 

Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to
or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder 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 Holder in any such proceeding.

 

Section 505.                                Trustee May Enforce
Claims without Possession of Securities.

 

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

applicable law, in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by the
Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of principal,
premium, if any, or interest, upon presentation of the Securities of any series
and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon
surrender thereof if fully paid:

payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 606;

 

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

 

THIRD: Subject to Article Thirteen,
if applicable, the balance, if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto,
including the Company, provided that all sums due and owing to the Holders and

No Holder of any
Securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment

Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event
of Default;

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

 

(c)                                  such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee an indemnity satisfactory to the
Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;

 

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

 

48

 

(e)                                  no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series; it being understood and intended
that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by
virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture or any Guarantee
to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain
or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to
enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner provided in this
Indenture or any Guarantee and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the
Holders of Securities of that series.

 

Section 508.                                Unconditional Right
of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

applicable, the Holder of any Security of any series shall have the right on
the terms stated herein, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 309)
interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption or repurchase, on the Redemption Date or
repurchase date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder,
subject to Article Thirteen, if applicable.

 

Section 509.                                Restoration of
Rights and Remedies.

 

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

 

Section 510.                                Rights and Remedies
Cumulative.

 

No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended
to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall,
to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other
right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in

Not Waiver.

 

No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security of any series to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair

an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or
by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and
as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the
case may be.

The Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of a series (or if more than one series is affected thereby, of all
series so affected, voting as a single class) shall have the right to direct
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee of that series, provided that

 

(a)                                  such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture or any Guarantee or expose the Trustee to personal liability; and

 

(b)                                 the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not

Unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301, the Holders of not less than a majority

on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of that series waive any past
Default hereunder and its consequences, except a Default

 

(a)                                  in
the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security
of any series; or

 

(b)                                 in
respect of a covenant or a provision hereof which under Article Nine
cannot be modified or amended without the consent of a higher percentage of the
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series.

 

Upon any such
waiver, such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default
or impair any right consequent thereon.

Costs.

 

All parties to
this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security of any series by his
acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its
discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy
under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee of that series for any
action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee of that series, the filing
by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply
to any suit instituted

 

50

 

by
the Trustee of that series, to any suit instituted by any Holder, or group of
Holders, of that series holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, or to any suit instituted
by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium,
if any, or interest on any Security of any series on or after the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on
or after the Redemption Date).

 

Section 515.                                Waiver of Stay,
Extension or Usury Laws.

 

Each of the
Company and any Guarantor covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever
claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any
usury or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force,
which would prohibit or forgive the Company or any Guarantor from paying all or
any portion of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities
of any series or which may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and each of the Company and any Guarantor (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee of that series, but will suffer and
permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

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

Section 603.                                Trustee Not
Responsible for Recitals, Dispositions of Securities or Application of Proceeds
Thereof.

 

The recitals
contained herein and in the Securities of each series, except the Trustee’s
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture
or of the Securities of any series, except that the Trustee represents that it
is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the
Securities of any securities and perform its obligations hereunder and that the
statements made by it in any Statement of Eligibility and Qualification on Form T-1
supplied to the Company are true and accurate subject to the qualifications set
forth therein. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application
by the Company of Securities of any series or the proceeds thereof.

 

Section 604.                                Trustee and Agents May Hold
Securities; Collections; etc.

 

The Trustee, any
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of
Securities, with the same rights it would have if it were not the Trustee,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent and, subject to Trust
Indenture Act Sections 310 and 311, may otherwise deal with the Company and
receive, collect, hold and retain collections from the Company with the same
rights it would have if it were not the Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.

 

Section 605.                                Money Held in Trust.

 

All moneys
received by the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be
held in trust for the purposes for which they were received, but need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by mandatory
provisions of law. Except for funds or securities deposited with the Trustee
pursuant to Article Four, the Trustee may invest all moneys received by
the Trustee, until used or applied as herein provided, in Temporary Cash
Investments in accordance with the written directions of the Company. The
Trustee shall not be liable for any losses incurred in connection with any
investments made in accordance with this Section 605, unless the Trustee
acted with gross negligence or in bad faith. With respect to any losses on
investments made under this Section 605, the Company is liable for the
full extent of any such loss.

 

Section 606.                                Compensation and
Indemnification of Trustee and Its Prior Claim.

 

The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee
from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, such compensation for
all services rendered by it hereunder (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust) set forth in a letter agreement executed by the Company and the Trustee,
as such agreement may be amended or supplemented, and

 

53

 

the
Company covenants and agrees to pay or reimburse the Trustee and each
predecessor Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by or on behalf of it in accordance with any of
the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all agents and other persons
not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to
indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability, tax, assessment or other governmental charge
(other than taxes applicable to the Trustee’s compensation hereunder) or
expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on such Trustee’s part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
Indenture or the trusts hereunder and such Trustee’s duties hereunder,
including enforcement of this Indenture and also including any liability which
the Trustee may incur as a result of failure to withhold, pay or report any
tax, assessment or other governmental charge, and the costs and expenses of
defending itself against or investigating any claim of liability (whether
asserted by any Holder, the Company or any other Person) in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties under this Indenture.
The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and
indemnify the Trustee and each predecessor Trustee and to pay or reimburse the
Trustee and each predecessor Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances
shall constitute an additional obligation hereunder and shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture.

 

All payments and
reimbursements pursuant to this Section 606 shall be made with interest at
the rate borne by the Securities.

 

As security for
the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section 606,
the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all
property and funds held or collected by the Trustee, except funds held in trust
for the payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on particular
Securities. The Trustee’s right to receive payment of any amounts due under
this Section 606 shall not be subordinate to any other liability or
indebtedness of the Company (even though the Securities of any series may be so
subordinate), and the Securities of any series shall be subordinate to the
Trustee’s right to receive such payment.

 

Section 607.                                Conflicting
Interests.

 

The Trustee shall
comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture
Act.

 

Section 608.                                Corporate Trustee
Required; Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which
shall be eligible to act as trustee under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a)(1) and
which shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000, to
the extent there is an institution eligible and willing to serve. The Trustee
shall be a participant in the Depository Trust Company and FAST distribution
systems. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of federal, state,

 

54

 

territorial
or District of Columbia supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article. The Corporate Trust Office shall initially be
located at

 

Section 609.                                Resignation and
Removal; Appointment of Successor Trustee.

 

(a)                                  No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee under Section 610.

 

(b)                                 The
Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign
by giving written notice thereof to the Company. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument executed by authority of the Board of Directors of the Company, a
copy of which shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and a copy to the
successor trustee. If an instrument of acceptance by a successor trustee shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may, or any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security of the applicable series for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such
court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint
a successor trustee.

 

(c)                                  The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series
by an Act of the Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, delivered to the Trustee
and to the Company.

 

(d)                                 If
at any time:

 

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

 

(2)                                  the Trustee shall
cease to be eligible under Section 608 and shall fail to resign after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months, or

 

(3)                                  the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then,
in any case, (i) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee,
or (ii) subject to Section 514, the Holder of any Security who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

 

55

 

(e)                                  If
the Trustee shall be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of that or
those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all series and that
at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series). If, within one year after such removal or incapability, or
the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series delivered to
the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of that series and to that extent supersede the
successor trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that series shall have been so appointed by the
Company or the Holders of the Securities of that series and accepted appointment
in the manner hereinafter provided, the Holder of any Security of such series
who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, subject to Section 514,
on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that series.

 

(f)                                    The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
and each appointment of a successor Trustee by mailing written notice of such
event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Holders of Securities of the
affected series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register.
Each notice shall include the name of the successor trustee and the address of its
Corporate Trust Office or agent hereunder.

 

Section 610.                                Acceptance of
Appointment by Successor.

 

In case of the
appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities,
such successor Trustee appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee
shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and
duties of the retiring Trustee as if originally named as Trustee hereunder;
but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or the successor
trustee, upon payment of its charges then unpaid, such retiring Trustee shall,
pay over to the successor trustee all moneys at the time held by it hereunder
and shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations. Upon request of any
such successor trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for
more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee
all such rights and powers. Any Trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless,
retain a prior claim upon all property or funds held or collected by such
Trustee or such successor trustee to secure any amounts then due such Trustee
pursuant to the provisions of Section 606.

 

56

 

In case of the appointment
hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more
(but not all) series, the Company, the Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and
each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such one or more
series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein such
successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee; and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company, any Guarantor or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates.

 

Upon request of
any such successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors shall execute any
and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to
such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in the
first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be.

 

No successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall accept appointment
as provided in this Section 610 unless at the time of such acceptance such
successor trustee shall be eligible to act as trustee under the provisions of
Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and this Article Sixth and
shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $250,000,000 and have a
Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in accordance with Section 608.

 

57

 

Upon acceptance of
appointment by any successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series as provided in this Section 610, the Company shall give
notice thereof to the Holders of the Securities of any series affected, by
mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on
the Security Register. If the acceptance of appointment is substantially
contemporaneous with the resignation, then the notice called for by the
preceding sentence may be combined with the notice called for by Section 609.
If the Company fails to give such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be given at the expense of the Company.

 

Section 611.                                Merger, Conversion,
Consolidation or Succession to Business.

 

Any corporation
into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust business of the
Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be eligible under Trust Indenture Act Section 310(a) and
this Article Sixth and shall have a combined capital and surplus of at
least $250,000,000 and have a Corporate Trust Office or an agent selected in
accordance with Section 608 without the execution or filing of any paper
or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.

 

In case at the
time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this
Indenture any of the Securities of any series shall have been authenticated but
not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of
authentication of any predecessor Trustee and deliver such Securities so
authenticated; and, in case at that time any of the Securities of that series
shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may
authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or
in the name of the successor trustee; and in all such cases such certificate
shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities of any series
or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have;
provided that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any
predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities of that series in the name of
any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by
merger, conversion or consolidation.

 

Section 612.                                Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.

 

If and when the
Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or other obligor under
the Securities of any series), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions
of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the
Company (or any such other obligor). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to the Trust Indenture Act Section 311(a) to the
extent indicated therein.

of the Company and its Subsidiaries on a Consolidated basis (the “Surviving

laws of the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of
Columbia and such Person assumes, by a supplemental indenture in a form
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, all the obligations of the Company
under the Securities and this Indenture, and this Indenture shall remain in full

with the appropriate adjustments with respect to the transaction being included
in such pro forma calculation), the Company (or the Surviving Entity if the

Person’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities;

 

(6)                                  if any of the
property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries would thereupon
become subject to any Lien, the provisions of the Indenture limiting Liens
(established pursuant to Section 301) are complied with; and

 

(7)                                  the Company or the

of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Company or any
Guarantor in accordance with Section 801, the successor Person formed by
such consolidation or into which the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, is merged or the successor Person to which such sale, assignment,
conveyance, transfer, lease or disposition is made shall succeed to, and be
substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of, the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, under this Indenture, the Securities of any

such successor had been named as the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may
be, herein, in the Securities of that series and/or in such Guarantee, as the
case may be. When a successor assumes all the obligations of its predecessor
under this Indenture, the Securities of any series or a Guarantee, as the case
may be, the predecessor shall be released from those obligations; provided that
in the case of a transfer by lease, the predecessor shall not be released from

provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to preserve any such
right or franchise or the corporate existence of any such Subsidiary if the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof

material adverse effect on the ability of the Company or any Guarantor, if any,
to perform its obligations hereunder and (b) all lawful claims for labor,
materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, would by law become a Lien upon the
property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company

wear and tear excepted) and supplied with all necessary equipment and will
cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and
improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may be consistent
with sound business practice and necessary so that the business carried on in
connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company
from discontinuing the maintenance of any of such properties if such
discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of

obligations hereunder.

further effect (except as to surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein, rights to payment, rights to conversion, and
rights to replacement of stolen, lost or mutilated Securities expressly
provided for) and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture, when

 

(a)           either

 

(1)           all
the Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 308 or (ii) all Securities for whose payment
United States dollars have theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated

such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation (x) have
become due and payable, (y) will become due and payable at their Stated
Maturity within one year, or (z) are to be called for redemption within
one year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company, and the Company or any Guarantor, in the case of (2)(x),(y) or (z) above,
has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust
funds in trust for the purpose an amount in United States dollars sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire

stating that (i) all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with and (ii) such
satisfaction and discharge will not result in a breach or violation of or
constitute a default under, this Indenture or any other material agreement or
instrument to which the Company or any Guarantor is a party or by which the Company
or any Guarantor is bound.

 

Opinions of
Counsel required to be delivered under this Section may have
qualifications customary for opinions of the type required and counsel
delivering such Opinions of Counsel may rely on certificates of the Company or

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

 

GUARANTEE

 

If, pursuant to Section 301,
the Securities of any series are to be guaranteed by any Guarantor, the
following provisions, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301,
shall apply. In this Article Thirteen, unless the context otherwise
requires, all references to Securities refers to the series of Securities
guaranteed by the Guarantors and all references to Indenture Obligations refer
to Indenture Obligations in respect of the series of Securities so guaranteed.
If no series of Securities are guaranteed, this Article Thirteen and all
references to Guarantees and Guarantors in this Indenture shall have no force
and effect.

 

Section 1301.         Guarantors’
Guarantee.

 

For value
received, each of the Guarantors, in accordance with this Article Thirteen,
hereby absolutely, unconditionally and irrevocably guarantees, jointly and
severally, to the Trustee and the Holders, as if the Guarantors were the
principal debtor, the punctual payment and performance when due of all
Indenture Obligations (which for purposes of this Guarantee shall also be
deemed to include all commissions, fees, charges, costs and other expenses
(including reasonable legal fees and disbursements of one counsel in connection
with any one action or separate but similar or related actions in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances)
arising out of or incurred by the Trustee or the Holders in connection with the
enforcement of this Guarantee).

 

Section 1302.         Continuing
Guarantee; No Right of Set-Off; Independent Obligation.

 

(a)           This Guarantee shall
be a continuing guarantee of the payment and performance of all Indenture
Obligations and shall remain in full force and effect until the payment in full
of all of the Indenture Obligations and shall apply to and secure any ultimate
balance due or remaining unpaid to the Trustee or the Holders; and this
Guarantee shall not be considered as wholly or partially satisfied by the
payment or liquidation at any time or from time to time of any sum of money for
the time being due or remaining unpaid to the Trustee or the Holders. Each
Guarantor, jointly and severally, covenants and agrees to comply with all
obligations, covenants, agreements and provisions applicable to it in this
Indenture including those set forth in Article Eight. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each of the Guarantors’ liability shall extend to
all amounts which constitute part of the Indenture Obligations and would be
owed by the Company under this Indenture and the Securities but for the fact
that they are unenforceable, reduced, limited, impaired, suspended or not
allowable due to the existence of a bankruptcy, reorganization or similar
proceeding involving the Company.

 

(b)           Each Guarantor,
jointly and severally, hereby guarantees that the Indenture Obligations will be
paid to the Trustee without set-off or counterclaim or other reduction
whatsoever (whether for taxes, withholding or otherwise) in lawful currency of
the United States of America.

 

75

 

(c)           Each Guarantor,
jointly and severally, guarantees that the Indenture Obligations shall be paid
strictly in accordance with their terms regardless of any law, regulation or
order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such
terms or the rights of the holders of the Securities.

 

(d)           Each Guarantor’s
liability under this Guarantee to pay or perform or cause the performance of
the Indenture Obligations shall arise forthwith after demand for payment or
performance by the Trustee has been given to the Guarantors in the manner
prescribed in Section 106 hereof.

 

(e)           Except as provided
herein, the provisions of this Article Thirteen cover all agreements
between the parties hereto relative to this Guarantee and none of the parties
shall be bound by any representation, warranty or promise made by any Person
relative thereto which is not embodied herein; and it is specifically
acknowledged and agreed that this Guarantee has been delivered by each
Guarantor free of any conditions whatsoever and that no representations,
warranties or promises have been made to any Guarantor affecting its
liabilities hereunder, and that the Trustee shall not be bound by any
representations, warranties or promises now or at any time hereafter made by
the Company to any Guarantor.

 

Section 1303.         Guarantee
Absolute.

 

The obligations of
the Guarantors hereunder are independent of the obligations of the Company
under the Securities and this Indenture and a separate action or actions may be
brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor whether or not an action or
proceeding is brought against the Company and whether or not the Company is
joined in any such action or proceeding. The liability of the Guarantors
hereunder is irrevocable, absolute and unconditional and (to the extent
permitted by law) the liability and obligations of the Guarantors hereunder
shall not be released, discharged, mitigated, waived, impaired or affected in
whole or in part by:

 

(a)           any defect or lack of
validity or enforceability in respect of any Indebtedness or other obligation
of the Company or any other Person under this Indenture or the Securities, or
any agreement or instrument relating to any of the foregoing;

 

(b)           any grants of time,
renewals, extensions, indulgences, releases, discharges or modifications which
the Trustee or the Holders may extend to, or make with, the Company, any
Guarantor or any other Person, or any change in the time, manner or place of
payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Indenture Obligations,
or any other amendment or waiver of, or any consent to or departure from, this
Indenture or the Securities, including any increase or decrease in the
Indenture Obligations;

 

76

 

(c)           the taking of
security from the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, and the release,
discharge or alteration of, or other dealing with, such security;

 

(d)           the occurrence of
any change in the laws, rules, regulations or ordinances of any jurisdiction by
any present or future action of any governmental authority or court amending,
varying, reducing or otherwise affecting, or purporting to amend, vary, reduce
or otherwise affect, any of the Indenture Obligations and the obligations of any
Guarantor hereunder;

 

(e)           the abstention from
taking security from the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person or from
perfecting, continuing to keep perfected or taking advantage of any security;

 

(f)            any loss,
diminution of value or lack of enforceability of any security received from the
Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, and including any other guarantees
received by the Trustee;

 

(g)           any other dealings
with the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person, or with any security;

 

(h)           the Trustee’s or the
Holders’ acceptance of compositions from the Company or any Guarantor;

 

(i)            the application by
the Holders or the Trustee of all moneys at any time and from time to time
received from the Company, any Guarantor or any other Person on account of any
indebtedness and liabilities owing by the Company or any Guarantor to the
Trustee or the Holders, in such manner as the Trustee or the Holders deems best
and the changing of such application in whole or in part and at any time or
from time to time, or any manner of application of collateral, if any, or
proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Indenture Obligations, or the manner of
sale of any such collateral;

 

(j)            the release or
discharge of the Company or any Guarantor of the Securities or of any Person
liable directly as surety or otherwise by operation of law or otherwise for the
Securities, other than an express release in writing given by the Trustee, on
behalf of the Holders, of the liability and obligations of any Guarantor
hereunder;

 

(k)           any change in the
name, business, capital structure or governing instrument of the Company or any
Guarantor or any refinancing or restructuring of any of the Indenture
Obligations;

 

(l)            the sale of the
Company’s or any Guarantor’s business or any part thereof;

 

(m)          subject to Section 1314,
any merger or consolidation, arrangement or reorganization of the Company, any
Guarantor, any Person resulting from the merger or consolidation of the Company
or any Guarantor with any other Person or any other successor to such Person or
merged or consolidated Person or any other change in the corporate existence,
structure or ownership of the Company or any Guarantor;

 

77

 

(n)           the insolvency,
bankruptcy, liquidation, winding-up, dissolution, receivership or distribution
of the assets of the Company or its assets or any resulting discharge of any
obligations of the Company (whether voluntary or involuntary) or of any
Guarantor or the loss of corporate existence;

 

(o)           subject to Section 1314,
any arrangement or plan of reorganization affecting the Company or any
Guarantor;

 

(p)           any other
circumstance (including any statute of limitations) that might otherwise
constitute a defense available to, or discharge of, the Company or any Guarantor;
or

 

(q)           any modification,
compromise, settlement or release by the Trustee, or by operation of law or
otherwise, of the Indenture Obligations or the liability of the Company or any
other obligor under the Securities, in whole or in part, and any refusal of
payment by the Trustee, in whole or in part, from any other obligor or other
guarantor in connection with any of the Indenture Obligations, whether or not
with notice to, or further assent by, or any reservation of rights against,
each of the Guarantors.

 

Section 1304.         Right
to Demand Full Performance.

 

In the event of
any demand for payment or performance by the Trustee from any Guarantor
hereunder, the Trustee or the Holders shall have the right to demand its full
claim and to receive all dividends or other payments in respect thereof until
the Indenture Obligations have been paid in full, and the Guarantors shall
continue to be jointly and severally liable hereunder for any balance which may
be owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the Company under this Indenture and
the Securities. The retention by the Trustee or the Holders of any security,
prior to the realization by the Trustee or the Holders of its rights to such
security upon foreclosure thereon, shall not, as between the Trustee and any Guarantor,
be considered as a purchase of such security, or as payment, satisfaction or
reduction of the Indenture Obligations due to the Trustee or the Holders by the
Company or any part thereof.

 

Section 1305.         Waivers.

 

(a)           Each Guarantor
hereby expressly waives (to the extent permitted by law) notice of the
acceptance of this Guarantee and notice of the existence, renewal, extension or
the non-performance, non-payment, or non-observance on the part of the Company
of any of the terms, covenants, conditions and provisions of this Indenture or
the Securities or any other notice whatsoever to or upon the Company or such
Guarantor with respect to the Indenture Obligations. Each Guarantor hereby
acknowledges communication to it of the terms of this Indenture and the
Securities and all of the provisions therein contained and consents to and
approves the same. Each Guarantor hereby expressly waives (to the extent
permitted by law) diligence, presentment, protest and demand for payment.

 

78

 

(b)           Without prejudice to
any of the rights or recourses which the Trustee or the Holders may have
against the Company, each Guarantor hereby expressly waives (to the extent
permitted by law) any right to require the Trustee or the Holders to:

 

(1)           initiate
or exhaust any rights, remedies or recourse against the Company, any Guarantor
or any other Person;

 

(2)           value,
realize upon, or dispose of any security of the Company or any other Person
held by the Trustee or the Holders; or

 

(3)           initiate
or exhaust any other remedy which the Trustee or the Holders may have in law or
equity; before requiring or becoming entitled to demand payment from such
Guarantor under this Guarantee.

 

(c)           With respect to this
Section 1305, to the extent applicable to any Guarantor, each Guarantor
expressly waives application of Sections 26-7 through 26-9 of the North
Carolina General Statutes.

 

Section 1306.         The
Guarantors Remain Obligated in Event the Company Is No Longer Obligated to
Discharge Indenture Obligations.

 

It is the express
intention of the Trustee and the Guarantors that if for any reason the Company
has no legal existence, is or becomes under no legal obligation to discharge
the Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the Company or
if any of the Indenture Obligations owing by the Company to the Trustee or the
Holders becomes irrecoverable from the Company by operation of law or for any
reason whatsoever, this Guarantee and the covenants, agreements and obligations
of the Guarantors contained in this Article Thirteen shall nevertheless be
binding upon the Guarantors, as principal debtor, until such time as all such
Indenture Obligations have been paid in full to the Trustee and all such
Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the Company have
been discharged, or such earlier time as Section 402 shall apply to the
Securities and the Guarantors shall be responsible for the payment thereof to
the Trustee or the Holders upon demand.

 

Section 1307.         Fraudulent
Conveyance; Contribution Subrogation.

 

(a)           Each Guarantor that
is a Subsidiary of the Company, and by its acceptance hereof each Holder,
hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such parties that the Guarantee
by such Guarantor pursuant to its Guarantee not constitute a fraudulent
transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy

 

Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, the Holders and such
Guarantor hereby irrevocably agree that the obligations of such Guarantor under
its Guarantee shall be limited to the maximum amount which, after giving effect
to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of such Guarantor, and after
giving effect to any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any
other Guarantor in respect of the obligations of such other Guarantor under its
Guarantee or pursuant to its contribution obligations under this Indenture,
will result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its Guarantee not
constituting such fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

 

79

 

(b)           Each Guarantor that
makes a payment or distribution under its Guarantee shall be entitled to a
contribution from each other Guarantor, if any, in a pro rata amount based on
the net assets of each Guarantor, determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

(c)           Each Guarantor
hereby waives all rights of subrogation or contribution, whether arising by
contract or operation of law (including, without limitation, any such right
arising under federal bankruptcy law) or otherwise by reason of any payment by
it pursuant to the provisions of this Article Thirteen.

 

Section 1308.         Guarantee
Is in Addition to Other Security.

 

This Guarantee
shall be in addition to and not in substitution for any other guarantees or
other security which the Trustee may now or hereafter hold in respect of the
Indenture Obligations owing to the Trustee or the Holders by the Company and
(except as may be required by law) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
marshal in favor of each of the Guarantors any other guarantees or other
security or any moneys or other assets which the Trustee may be entitled to
receive or upon which the Trustee or the Holders may have a claim.

 

Section 1309.         Release
of Security Interests.

 

Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing and except as otherwise provided in this
Indenture, each Guarantor hereby consents and agrees, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, that the rights of the Trustee hereunder, and the
liability of the Guarantors hereunder, shall not be affected by any and all
releases for any purpose of any collateral, if any, from the Liens and security
interests created by any collateral document and that this Guarantee shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
any payment of any of the Indenture Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by the Trustee upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of
the Company or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

 

Section 1310.         No
Bar to Further Actions.

 

Except as provided
by law, no action or proceeding brought or instituted under Article Thirteen
and this Guarantee and no recovery or judgment in pursuance thereof shall be a
bar or defense to any further action or proceeding which may be brought under Article Thirteen
and this Guarantee by reason of any further default or defaults under Article Thirteen
and this Guarantee or in the payment of any of the Indenture Obligations owing
by the Company.

 

80

 

Section 1311.         Failure
to Exercise Rights Shall Not Operate as a Waiver; No Suspension of Remedies.

 

(a)           No failure to
exercise and no delay in exercising, on the part of the Trustee or the Holders,
any right, power, privilege or remedy under this Article Thirteen and this
Guarantee shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial
exercise of any rights, power, privilege or remedy preclude any other or
further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other rights, powers,
privileges or remedies. The rights and remedies herein provided for are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies provided in law or
equity.

 

(b)           Nothing contained in
this Article Thirteen shall limit the right of the Trustee or the Holders
to take any action to accelerate the maturity of the Securities pursuant to Article Five
or to pursue any rights or remedies hereunder or under applicable law.

 

Section 1312.         Trustee’s
Duties; Notice to Trustee.

 

(a)           Any provision in
this Article Thirteen or elsewhere in this Indenture allowing the Trustee
to request any information or to take any action authorized by, or on behalf of
any Guarantor, shall be permissive and shall not be obligatory on the Trustee
except as the Holders may direct in accordance with the provisions of this
Indenture or where the failure of the Trustee to request any such information
or to take any such action arises from the Trustee’s negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct.

 

(b)           The Trustee shall
not be required to inquire into the existence, powers or capacities of the
Company, any Guarantor or the officers, directors or agents acting or
purporting to act on their respective behalf.

 

Section 1313.         Successors
and Assigns.

 

All terms,
agreements and conditions of this Article Thirteen shall extend to and be
binding upon each Guarantor and its successors and permitted assigns and shall
enure to the benefit of and may be enforced by the Trustee and its successors
and assigns; provided, however, that the Guarantors may not assign any of their
rights or obligations hereunder other than in accordance with Article Eight.

 

Section 1314.         Release
of Guarantee.

 

Concurrently with
the payment in full of all of the Indenture Obligations, the Guarantors shall
be released from and relieved of their obligations under this Article Thirteen.
Upon the delivery by the Company to the Trustee of an Officer’s Certificate
and, if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
transaction giving rise to the release of this Guarantee was made by the
Company in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and the Securities,
the Trustee shall execute any documents reasonably

 

81

 

required
in order to evidence the release of the Guarantors from their obligations under
this Guarantee. If any of the Indenture Obligations are revived and reinstated
after the termination of this Guarantee, then all of the obligations of the
Guarantors under this Guarantee shall be revived and reinstated as if this
Guarantee had not been terminated until such time as the Indenture Obligations
are paid in full, and each Guarantor shall enter into an amendment to this
Guarantee, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, evidencing such revival and
reinstatement.

 

This Guarantee
shall terminate with respect to each Guarantor and shall be automatically and
unconditionally released and discharged under any circumstances set forth
pursuant to Section 301.

 

Section 1315.         Execution
of Guarantee.

 

To evidence the
Guarantee, each Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the guarantee substantially
in the form set forth in Section 204, to be endorsed on each Security
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and that this Indenture shall be
executed on behalf of each Guarantor by its Chairman of the Board, its
President, or one of its Vice Presidents and attested by its Secretary or one
of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

82

 

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