      regards its duration, extent and application for the protection of the
      legitimate business interests of the Company. However, in the event that
      any such restriction shall be found to be void or unenforceable but would
      be valid or enforceable if some part or parts of it were deleted, the
      Executive agrees that such restriction shall apply with such deletions as
      may be necessary to make it valid and
  effective.

              13.1

            	
              The
      Company agrees that if the Executive is made a party, or is threatened to
      be made a party, to any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil,
      criminal, administrative or investigative (a “Proceeding”), by reason of
      the fact that he is or was a director, officer or employee of the Company
      or is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer,
      member, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint
      venture, trust or other enterprise, including service with respect to
      employee benefit plans, whether or not the basis of such Proceeding is the
      Executive’s alleged action in an official capacity while serving as a
      director, officer, member, employee or agent, the Executive shall be
      indemnified and held harmless by the Company to the fullest extent legally
      permitted or authorized by the Company’s certificate of incorporation or
      bylaws or resolutions of the Company’s Board of Directors or, if greater,
      by the laws of the State of Delaware, against all cost, expense, liability
      and loss (including, without limitation, attorney’s fees, judgments,
      fines, or other liabilities or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid in
      settlement) reasonably incurred or suffered by the Executive in connection
      therewith, and such indemnification shall continue as to the Executive
      even if he has ceased to be a director, member, employee or agent of the
      Company or other entity and shall inure to the benefit of the Executive’s
      heirs, executors and
administrators.

            

    

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    
      	
              13.2

            	
              The
      Company shall advance to the Executive all reasonable costs and expenses
      incurred by him in connection with a Proceeding within 20 calendar days
      after receipt by the Company of a written request for such
      advance.  Such request shall include an undertaking by the
      Executive to repay the amount of such advance if it shall ultimately be
      determined that he is not entitled to be indemnified against such costs
      and expenses. Neither the failure of the Company (including its board of
      directors, independent legal counsel or stockholders) to have made a
      determination prior to the commencement of any proceeding concerning
      payment of amounts claimed by the Executive under Clause 14.1 above that
      indemnification of the Executive is proper because he has met the
      applicable standard of conduct, nor a determination by the Company
      (including its board of directors, independent legal counsel or
      stockholders) that the Executive has not met such applicable standard of
      conduct, shall create a presumption that the Executive has not met the
      applicable standard of conduct.

            

    

     

    
      	
              13.3

            	
              The
      Company agrees to continue and maintain a directors’ and officers’
      liability insurance policy covering the Executive to the extent the
      Company provides such coverage for its other executive
      officers.

any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate and such other certificates and Opinions of Counsel as may
be required under the Trust Indenture Act or as set forth
herein.  Each such certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other expert
opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to the Trustee
and shall include:

     

    (1) a
statement that each individual signing such certificate or opinion has read such
covenant or condition and the definitions herein relating thereto;

     

    (2) 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;

     

    (3) a
statement that, in the opinion of each such individual, he has made such
examination or investigation as is necessary to enable him to express an
informed opinion as to whether or not such covenant or condition precedent, if
any, has been complied with; and

     

    (4) a
statement as to whether, in the opinion of each such individual, such condition
or covenant necessary for any action in the Trustee’s opinion has been complied
with.

     

    SECTION
1.04 Form
of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

     

    (a) 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.

     

    (b) Any
certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based, insofar as it
relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations
by, counsel, unless such officer knows that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous.  Any such certificate or opinion of
counsel 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 stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is in
the possession of the Company, unless such counsel knows that the certificate or
opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous.

     

    (c) Where any
Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this

    SECTION
1.05 Acts
of Holders; Record Dates.

     

    (a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made 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.  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 and the Holders bound
thereby.  Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture
and (subject to Section 6.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section
1.05.

     

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

     

    (c) The
ownership of Securities (including the principal amount and serial numbers of
Securities held by any Person, and the date of holding the same) shall be proved
by the Security Register.

     

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

     

    (e) The
Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, vote, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and the
provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or
making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next
paragraph.  If not set by the Company prior to the first solicitation
of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such matter referred to in the
foregoing sentence, the record date for any such matter shall be the 30th day
(or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be
provided pursuant to Section 7.01) prior
to such first solicitation.  If any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and
no other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action
for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph
(whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action
by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the
requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is
taken.  Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record
date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be
given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner
set forth in Section
1.07.

    (f) The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of
(1) any Notice of Default, (2) any declaration of acceleration referred to in
Section 5.02,
(3) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 5.07 or (4)
any direction referred to in Section
5.12.  If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph,
the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other Holders,
shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction,
whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided that
no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the
applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of
Outstanding Securities on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph
shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such
action is taken.  Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to
this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of
such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration
Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in
the manner set forth in Section
1.07.

     

    (g) With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 1.05(g), the
party hereto which sets such record date may designate any day as the
“Expiration Date” and from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any
earlier or later day; provided that no such change shall be effective unless
notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in
writing, and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 1.07, on or
prior to the existing Expiration Date.  If an Expiration Date is not
designated with respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the
party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to have initially
designated the 180th day after such record date as the Expiration Date with
respect thereto, subject to its right to change the Expiration Date as provided
in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date
shall be later than the 180th day after the applicable record date.

     

    (h) Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder
with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part
of the principal amount of such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents
each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any
part of such principal amount.

    (i) In
addition to the foregoing, the Trustee agrees to accept and act upon notice,
instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by unsecured e-mail,
facsimile transmission or other similar unsecured electronic methods; provided, however, that (a)
the party providing such written instructions, subsequent to such transmission
of written instructions, shall provide the originally executed instructions or
directions to the Trustee in a timely manner, and (b) such originally executed
instructions or directions shall be signed by an authorized representative of
the party providing such instructions or directions.  The Trustee
shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly or
indirectly from the Trustee’s reasonable reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with
a subsequent written instruction.

     

    (j) Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, a Holder, including the Depositary,
that is the Holder of a Global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or
proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to
be made, given or taken by Holders or the Depositary, as the Holder of a Global
Security, may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of interest
in any such Global Security through such depositary’s standing instructions and
customary practices.

     

    (k) The
Company may fix a record date for the purpose of determining the persons who are
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security held by the Depositary
entitled under the procedures of such depositary to make, give or take, by a
proxy or proxies duly appointed in writing, any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided in this Indenture to
be made, given or taken by Holders.  If such a record date is fixed,
the Holders on such record date or their duly appointed proxy or proxies, and
only such persons, shall be entitled to make, give or take such request, demand,
authorization direction, notice consent, waiver or other action, whether or not
such Holders remain Holders after such record date.  No such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action shall
be valid or effective if made, given or taken more than 90 days after such
record date.

     

    SECTION
1.06 Notices,

    (a) the

delivered; five Business Days after being deposited in the mail, postage
prepaid, if mailed; when receipt acknowledged, if transmitted by facsimile; and
the next Business Day after timely delivery to the courier, if sent by overnight
air courier guaranteeing next day delivery.

     

    Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, the Trustee agrees to accept and act upon
instructions or directions pursuant to this Indenture sent by electronic
transmission; provided,
however, that such instructions or directions, if from the Company, shall
be accompanied by an incumbency certificate listing such authorized
representative, which incumbency certificate shall be amended whenever a person
is to be added or deleted from the listing or if the Trustee is in possession of
such incumbency certificate, no additional certificate need be
delivered.  If the party elects to give the Trustee e-mail or
facsimile instructions (or instructions by a similar electronic method) and the
Trustee in its discretion elects to act upon such instructions, the Trustee’s
understanding of such instructions shall be deemed controlling.  The
Trustee shall not be liable for any losses, costs or expenses arising directly
or indirectly from the Trustee’s reliance upon and compliance with such
instructions notwithstanding such instructions conflict or are inconsistent with
a subsequent written instruction.  The party providing electronic
instructions agrees to assume all risks arising out of the use of such
electronic methods to submit instructions and directions to the Trustee,
including without limitation the risk of the Trustee acting on unauthorized
instructions, and the risk or interception and misuse by third
parties.

anything to the contrary contained herein, as long as the Securities are in the
form of a Global Security, notice to the Holders may be made electronically in

Officer, its President, its Chief Financial Officer.  The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

     

    (b) 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 at
the date of such Securities.

     

    (c) At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

     

    (d) Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

     

    (e) No
Security 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 in Exhibit A hereto
executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.

     

    (f) In case
the Company, pursuant to Article VIII, shall be consolidated or merged with or
into any other Person or shall convey, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of
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 shall have been merged, or the successor Person which shall
have received a conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition as aforesaid,
shall have executed an indenture supplemental hereto with the Trustee pursuant
to Article VIII, any of the Securities authenticated or delivered prior to such
consolidation, merger, conveyance, transfer, lease or other disposition 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 Order of the successor Person, shall
authenticate and deliver replacement Securities as specified in such request for
the purpose of such exchange.  If replacement Securities shall at any
time be authenticated and delivered in any new name of a successor Person
pursuant to this Section 3.03 in
exchange or substitution for or upon registration of transfer of any Securities,
such successor Person, at the option of any Holder but without expense to such
Holder, shall provide for the exchange of all Securities at the time outstanding
held by such Holder for Securities authenticated and delivered in such new
name.

    SECTION
3.04 Temporary
Securities.

     

    (a) Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon
Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities
which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise
produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the
definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate
insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers
executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such
Securities.

     

    (b) If
temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to
be prepared without unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of
definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for
definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office
or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02,
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 shall in
all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive
Securities.

     

    SECTION
3.05 Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

     

    (a) Registration;
Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally.

     

    (1) The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other office or
agency designated pursuant to Section 10.02 being herein sometimes collectively
referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers and exchanges of Securities.  The Trustee is hereby
appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers and exchanges of Securities as herein provided.

     

    (2) Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of
the Company designated pursuant to Section 10.02 for
such purpose, 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 any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal
amount bearing such restrictive legends as may be required by this
Indenture.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        23

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

       

    

    (3) At the
option of the Holder, and subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05,
Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations
and of a like tenor or aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the
Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency of the
Company.  Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, and
subject to the other provisions of this Section 3.05, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

     

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

     

    (5) Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
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 its
attorney duly authorized in writing.

     

    (6) No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Sections
3.04, 9.06 or 11.09 or in
accordance with any Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 10.09 not involving
any transfer.

     

    (7) The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days
before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities selected
for redemption under Section 11.04 and
ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or
in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in
part.

     

    (b) [Intentionally Omitted]

     

    (c) [Intentionally Omitted]

     

    (d) The
provisions of clauses (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) of this Section 3.05(d) shall
apply only to Global Securities:

     

    (1) Each
Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the
name of the Depositary or a nominee thereof and delivered to the Depositary or a
nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall
constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.

     

    (2) Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture or the Securities, no Global Security may
be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a
Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person
other than the Depositary or a nominee thereof unless (A) the Depositary (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary
for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered
under the Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company thereupon fails to
appoint a successor depositary within 120 days of such notice, (B) the Company,
at its option, executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order that such
Global Security shall be exchanged in whole for Securities that are not Global
Securities, or (C) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of
Default.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        24

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (3) Securities
issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof pursuant to
clause (2) of this Subsection (d) shall be issued in definitive, fully
registered form, without interest coupons, shall have an aggregate principal
amount equal to that of such Global Security or portion thereof to be so
exchanged, shall be registered in such names and be in such authorized
denominations as the Depositary shall designate and shall bear any legends
required hereunder.  Any Global Security to be exchanged in whole
shall be surrendered by the Depositary to the Trustee, as Security
Registrar.  With regard to any Global Security to be exchanged in
part, either such Global Security shall be so surrendered for exchange or, if
the Trustee is acting as custodian for the Depositary or its nominee with
respect to such Global Security, the principal amount thereof shall be reduced,
by an amount equal to the portion thereof to be so exchanged, by means of an
appropriate adjustment made on the records of the Trustee and the
Depositary.  Upon any such surrender or adjustment, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver the Security issuable on such exchange to or upon the
order of the Depositary or an authorized representative thereof.

     

    (4) In the
event of the occurrence of any of the events specified in clause (2) of this
Subsection (d), the Company will promptly make available to the Trustee a
reasonable supply of certificated Securities in definitive, fully registered
form, without interest coupons.

     

    (5) Neither
any Agent Members nor any other Persons on whose behalf Agent Members may act
(including Euroclear and Clearstream and account holders and participants
therein) shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global
Security, or under any Global Security, and the Depositary or such nominee, as
the case may be, may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder 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 or the
Trustee from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or other
authorization furnished by the Depositary or such nominee, as the case may be,
or impair, as between the Depositary, its Agent Members and any other person on
whose behalf an Agent Member may act, the operation of customary practices of
such Persons governing the exercise of the rights of a Holder of any
Security.

     

    (e) The
Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to monitor, determine or inquire as to
compliance with any restrictions on transfer imposed under this Indenture or
under applicable law with respect to any transfer of any interest in any
Security (including any transfers between or among Depositary Participants or
beneficial owners of interests in any Global Security) other than to require
delivery of such certificates and other documentation or evidence as are
expressly required by, and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms
of, this Indenture, and to examine the same to determine substantial compliance
as to form with the express requirements hereof.

    SECTION
3.06 Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

     

    (a) If any
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security
of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     

    (1) If there
shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (A) evidence to their
satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (B) such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any
agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company
or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new
Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not
contemporaneously outstanding.

     

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

     

    (b) Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section 3.06, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected
therewith.

     

    (c) Every new
Security issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu
of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone,
and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Securities duly issued
hereunder.

     

    (d) The
provisions of this Section 3.06 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
3.07 Payment
of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

     

    (a) Interest
on any Security which is payable, and is paid or duly provided for, on any
Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security
(or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business
on the Regular Record Date for such interest.

    (b) Any
interest on any Security which is payable, but is not paid or duly provided for,
on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall
forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date
by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by
the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in clause (1) or (2) of
this Subsection (b):

     

    (1) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount
of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security and the date of the
proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in
respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to
the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such
money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled
to such Defaulted Interest as in this clause provided.  The Company
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.  The Company shall promptly notify the
Trustee of such Special Record Date and 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 its address as it appears
in the Security Register in accordance with Section 1.07, 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 (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).  The payment
date for such Defaulted Interest shall be not less than 5 nor more than 10 days
after the Special Record Date.

     

    (2) 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 such
Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such
exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed
payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed
practicable by the Trustee and in accordance with any applicable procedures of
the Depositary.

     

    (c) Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in
exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest
accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other
Security.

     

    SECTION
3.08 Persons
Deemed Owners.

     

    Prior to
due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name such Security is registered on the Securities Register as the owner
of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal amount of
(and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07)
interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not
such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange or for credit against any Change of Control Offer pursuant to Section 10.09 shall,
if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by it.  The Company may at any time
deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated
and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner
whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or any other Person for delivery to
the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder
which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall
be promptly cancelled by the Trustee.  No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section
3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All
cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of by the Trustee in
accordance with its customary procedures and certification of their disposal
delivered to the Company unless by Company Order the Company shall direct that
cancelled Securities be returned to it.

     

    SECTION

on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve
30-day months.

     

    SECTION
3.11 CUSIP
Numbers.

     

    The Company in issuing the Securities
may use CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers (if then generally in use), and, if
so, the Trustee shall use CUSIP, ISIN or other such numbers in notices of
redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided, that any such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such
numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company shall
promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP, ISIN or other
numbers.

    (i) all
Securities that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed
Securities that have been replaced or paid and Securities for whose payment
money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have
been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     

    (ii) all
Securities that have not been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have
become due and payable by reason of the mailing of a notice of redemption or
otherwise or will become due and payable by reason of the making of a notice of
redemption or otherwise within one year and the Company has irrevocably
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust
solely for the benefit of the holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable U.S.
Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable
U.S. Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of interest, to pay and discharge the entire
Debt on the Securities not delivered to the Trustee for cancellation for
principal, premium, if any, and accrued interest to the date of maturity or
redemption;

     

    (2) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of the
deposit or will occur as a result of the deposit (other than a Default resulting
from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will

Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, to the principal (and
premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited
with the Trustee.  If the Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply
any money or U.S. Government Securities in accordance with Section 4.01 by
reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, the Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the
Securities  shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had
occurred pursuant to Section 4.01; provided that if the Company
has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, any
Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such
payment from the money or U.S. Government Securities held by the Trustee or
Paying Agent.

to pay all or any portion of the principal of such Debt when due and payable or
shall have resulted in such Debt becoming or being declared due and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable and
such Debt has not been discharged in full or such acceleration has not been
rescinded or annulled (by cure, waiver or otherwise) within 60 days of such
acceleration; provided,
however, that any secured Debt in excess of the limits set forth above
shall be deemed to have been declared due and payable if the lender in respect
thereof takes any action to enforce a security interest against, or an
assignment of, or to collect on, seize, dispose of or apply any assets of the
Company or its Subsidiaries (including lock-box and other similar arrangements)
securing such Debt, or to set off against any bank account of the Company or its
Subsidiaries in excess of $50 million in the aggregate;

excess of $50 million in the aggregate for all such final judgments or orders
against all such Persons (treating any deductibles, self-insurance or retention
as not so covered) shall be rendered against the Company or any Subsidiary and
shall not be paid or discharged, and there shall be any period of 60 consecutive
days following entry of the final judgment or order or that causes the aggregate
amount for all such final judgments or orders outstanding and not paid or
discharged against all such Persons to exceed $50 million in the aggregate
during which a stay of enforcement of such final judgment or order, by reason of
a pending appeal or otherwise, shall not be in effect;

     

    (7) the
Company or any Significant Subsidiary shall generally not pay its debts as such
debts become due, or shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally, or shall make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or
any proceeding shall be instituted by or against the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary seeking to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking
liquidation, winding up, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, protection,
relief or composition of it or its debts under any law relating to bankruptcy,
insolvency or reorganization or relief of debtors, or seeking the entry of an
order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for any substantial part of its property and, in the
case of any such proceeding instituted against it (but not instituted by it),
either such proceeding shall remain undismissed or unstayed for a period of 60
days, or any of the actions sought in such proceeding (including, without
limitation, the entry of an order for relief against, or the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for, it or for any
substantial part of its property) shall occur; or the Company or any Significant
Subsidiary shall take any corporate action to authorize any of the actions set
forth above in this Subsection (7); or

     

    (8) the
Company and/or one or more Subsidiaries fails to make at the final (but not any
interim) fixed maturity of one or more issues of Debt principal payments
aggregating $50 million or more, and all such defaulted payments shall not have
been made, waived or extended within 60 days of the payment default that causes
the aggregate amount described in this subsection (8) to exceed $50
million.

    SECTION
5.02 Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     

    (a) If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(7))
shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities may, and the Trustee at the request of such Holders shall, declare
the entire unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the
Securities to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on the Securities shall
become immediately due and payable.

     

    (b) If an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(5) or
(8) occurs,
such declaration of acceleration shall be automatically rescinded and annulled
if the event triggering such Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(5) or
(8) shall be
remedied or cured by the Company and/or the relevant Subsidiaries or waived by
the Holders of the Designated Debt within 60 days after the declaration of
acceleration with respect thereto.

     

    (c) If an
Event of Default specified in Section 5.01(a)(7)
above occurs, all unpaid principal of, premium, if any, and accrued interest on
the Securities then outstanding shall ipso facto become and be
immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    (d) The
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
by written notice to the Company and to the Trustee, may waive all past defaults
and rescind and annul a declaration of acceleration and its consequences
if:

     

    (1) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (A) 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, (B) all overdue interest on all Securities, (C) the principal of
(and premium, if any, on), any Securities that have become due otherwise than by
such declaration or occurrence of acceleration and interest thereon at the rate
prescribed therefor by such Securities, and (D) to the extent that payment of
such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate prescribed
therefor by such Securities,

     

    (2) all
existing Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of the
Securities that have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have
been cured or waived, and

     

    (3) the
rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree of a court of
competent jurisdiction.

     

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

     

    (a) The
Company covenants that if

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        32

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

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

     

    (2) default
is made in the payment of the principal amount of (or premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof or, with respect to any Security required to
have been purchased pursuant to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company,
at the Purchase Date thereof,

     

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

     

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

     

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

the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and
all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to have claims of
the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding.  In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or
other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the
same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator
or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized
by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section
6.07.

provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that the
Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in
bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditor’s or other similar
committee.

    All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the

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

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

     

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

     

    (5) 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 aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities;

     

    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
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 herein provided and for the
equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

     

    SECTION
5.08 Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

     

    Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal
amount of (and premium, if any) and (subject to Section 3.07)
interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or in the case
of a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and required to be accepted as
to such Security, on the Purchase Date) and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired or
affected without the consent of such Holder.

     

    SECTION
5.09 Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

     

    If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or

    Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 3.06(d), 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 equity or otherwise.  The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or
remedy.

    SECTION
5.11 Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.

     

    No delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence
therein.  Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to
the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee (subject to the limitations contained
in the Indenture) or by the Holders, as the case may be.

     

    SECTION
5.12 Control
by Holders.

     

    The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities 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, provided that (a) such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture and shall not expose the
Trustee to personal liability, and (b) the Trustee may take any other action
deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such
direction.

     

    SECTION
5.13 Waiver
of Past Defaults.

     

    Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then

all of the Securities waive an existing Default or Event of Default and its
consequences hereunder, except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the
payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on, the Securities
(including in connection with an offer to purchase); provided, however, that the Holders of
a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then Outstanding Securities may
rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
default that resulted from such acceleration.  Upon any such waiver,
such Default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Indenture; but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

     

    SECTION
5.14 Undertaking
for Costs.

     

    In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such
party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture
Act; provided, that neither this Section 5.14 nor the
Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company
or the Trustee.

    SECTION
5.15 Waiver
of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

     

    SECTION
5.16 No
Personal Liability of Incorporators, Shareholders, Officers, Directors or
Employees.

     

    No
recourse for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on,
any of the Securities, or for any claim based thereon or otherwise in respect
thereof, and no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement of
the Company in this Indenture, or in any of the Securities, or because of the
creation of any Debt represented thereby, shall be had against any incorporator,
shareholder, officer, director, employee, or controlling person of the Company
or of any successor Person thereof and any Affiliates thereof.  Each
Holder or Securities by acceptance of a Security waives and releases all such
liability.

    THE
TRUSTEE

     

    SECTION
6.01 Certain
Duties and Responsibilities.

     

    (a) The
Trustee hereby accepts the trusts imposed on it by this
Indenture.  The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as
provided by the Trust Indenture Act.

     

    (b) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default, the Trustee undertakes to perform
such functions and duties and only such functions and duties as are specifically
set forth in this Indenture, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read
into this Indenture against the Trustee.  During the continuance of an
Event of Default, the Trustee shall exercise the same degree of care and skill
as a prudent person would exercise under the circumstances in the conduct of
such person’s own affairs. In the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions furnished to the
Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of
any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically
required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to
examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of
this Indenture (but need not confirm or investigate the accuracy of mathematical
calculations or other facts stated therein).

     

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

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        37

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (i) this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (b) of this Section
6.01;

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    (d) Whether
or not therein expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating
to the conduct or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the
Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section
6.01.

     

    SECTION
6.02 Notice
of Defaults.

     

    If a
default occurs hereunder with respect to the Securities and is known to the
Trustee, the Trustee shall give the Holders notice of such default hereunder as
and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in
the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(a)(4),
no such notice to Holders shall be given until the expiration of the applicable
60-day period (or 90-day period in the case of a Reporting Failure) referred to
therein.  For the purpose of this Section 6.01, the
term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or
both would become, an Event of Default.

     

    SECTION
6.03 Certain
Rights of Trustee.

     

    (a) Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.01, whether

Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of this Section
6.03.

     

    (b) (1) The
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon

request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently
evidenced by a Company Request or Company Order and any resolution of the Board

in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
prescribed) may rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;

     

    (4) the
Trustee may consult with experts and with legal counsel and the oral or written
advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted
by it hereunder in good faith and in reliance thereon;

     

    (5) the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders
pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the
Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or
direction;

     

    (6) the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or
attorney;

     

    (7) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder and perform any duty
hereunder, either directly or by or through its agents, attorneys, accountants
or other experts and the Trustee shall not be responsible or liable for any
misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent, attorney, accountants or
other experts if reasonable care has been exercised in the
appointment;

such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, the successor
Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment,

effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities.

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

paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however,

on that date.

     

    SECTION
11.08 Securities
Payable on Redemption Date.

     

    (a) Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default
in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities
shall cease to bear interest.  Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price together with accrued interest to the Redemption
Date; provided, however,
that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or
more Predecessor Securities, registered as such on the relevant Regular Record
Dates according to the terms and the provisions of Section
3.07.

     

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

     

    SECTION
11.09 Securities
Redeemed in Part.

     

    Any
Security that is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered to the Paying
Agent at the office of the Paying Agent or to the office or agency referred to
in Section
10.02 (with, if the Company or the Trustee so require, due endorsement
by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and
the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly
authorized in writing) and the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge,
a replacement Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination as
requested by such Holder in an aggregate principal amount equal to, and in
exchange for, the principal amount of the Security so surrendered that is not
redeemed.

    LEGAL
DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

     

    SECTION
12.01 Company’s
Option to Effect Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     

    The
Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, elect to have either
Section 12.02
or Section
12.03 applied to the Outstanding Securities upon compliance with the
conditions set forth below in this Article XII.

     

    SECTION
12.02 Legal
Defeasance and Discharge.

     

    Upon the
Company’s exercise under Section 12.01 of the
option applicable to this Section 12.02, the
Company will, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 12.04, be
deemed to have been discharged from their obligations with respect to all
Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth below are satisfied
(hereinafter, “Legal
Defeasance”).  For this purpose, Legal Defeasance means that
the Company will be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire Indebtedness
represented by the Outstanding Securities 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, shall execute
proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

     

    (1) the
rights of Holders of outstanding Securities to receive, solely from the trust
fund described in Section 12.04 and as
more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal
amount of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such
payments are due;

     

    (2) the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03;

     

    (3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and the
Company’s obligations in connection therewith; and

     

    (4) this
Article XII.

     

    Subject
to compliance with this Article Twelve, the Company may exercise its option
under this Section
12.02 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option under Section
12.03.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        58

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    SECTION
12.03 Covenant
Defeasance.

     

    Upon the
Company’s exercise of the option provided in Section 12.01
applicable to this Section 12.03, (a)
the Company shall be released from its obligations under Sections 10.05
through 10.13,
inclusive, and clauses (2) and (3) of Section 8.01(a),
(b) the
occurrence of an event specified in Sections 5.01(a)(3), 5.01(a)(4) (with
respect to any of Sections 10.05
through 10.13,
inclusive), 5.01(a)(5), 5.01(a)(6) and 5.01(a)(8) shall not
be deemed to be an Event of Default (hereinafter, “Covenant Defeasance”) and the
Securities will thereafter be deemed 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, but will
continue to be deemed “outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder (it being
understood that such Securities will not be deemed outstanding for accounting
purposes).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any
term, condition or limitation set forth in any such Section, Clause or Article,
whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to
any such Section, Clause or Article or by reason of any reference in any such
Section, Clause or Article to any other provision herein or in any other
document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be
unaffected thereby.

     

    SECTION
12.04 Conditions
to Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

     

    (a)  In
order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance under either
Section 12.02
or 12.03:

     

    (1) the
Company must irrevocably deposit with the Trustee, in trust, for the benefit of
the Holders, cash in United States dollars, non-callable Government Securities,
or a combination of cash in United States dollars and non-callable Government
Securities, in such amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized investment bank, appraisal firm, or firm of independent
public accountants, to pay the principal of, premium and Additional Interest, if
any, and interest on, the outstanding Securities on the stated date for payment
thereof or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the
Company must specify whether the Securities are being defeased to such stated
date for payment or to a particular redemption date;

     

    (2) in the
case of an election under Section 12.02, the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee confirming that:

     

    (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling; or

     

    (ii) since the
date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable federal income
tax law,

     

    in either
case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm
that, the Holders of the outstanding Securities will not recognize income, gain
or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal 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 Legal Defeasance had
not occurred;

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        59

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (3) in the
case of an election under Section 12.03, the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee confirming 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;

     

    (4) no
Default (other than that resulting from borrowing funds to be applied to make
such deposit and any similar and simultaneous deposit relating to other Debt
and, in each case, the granting of Liens in connection therewith) shall have
occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit;

     

    (5) such
Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation
of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement or instrument (other
than the indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party
or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

     

    (6) the
Company must deliver to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the
trust funds will not be subject to the effect of the preference provisions of
Section 547 of the United States Federal Bankruptcy Code;

     

    (7) the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate stating that the
deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders
over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering,
delaying or defrauding any creditors of the Company or others; and

     

    (8) the
Company must deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal
Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

     

    SECTION
12.05 Deposited
Money and United States Government Securities to be Held in Trust; Other
Miscellaneous Provisions.

     

    (a) Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all
money and United States Government Securities (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee, collectively, for
purposes of this
Section 12.05, the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 12.04 in
respect of the 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 (and premium, if any) and interest, but such money need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

     

    (b) The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the United States Government Securities deposited
pursuant to Section
12.04 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 Outstanding Securities.

     

    
      
        
        

      

      
        60

        
          

        

      

      
        
        

      

    

     

    (c) Anything
in this Article XII to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or United
States Government Securities held by it as provided in Section 12.04 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 an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.

     

    SECTION
12.06 Reinstatement.

     

    If the
Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with
Section 12.02
or 12.03 by
reason of any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article XII
until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such
money in accordance with Section 12.02 or
12.03; provided, however, that if
the Company makes any payment of principal amount of (and premium, if any) or
interest on any Security following the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the money held by the Trustee or the Paying
Agent.

     

    
      
        

      

    

     

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

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