Notes.

    

    "Comparable
Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the average of

Dealer shall be substituted by the Company.

    

    "Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotation" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer
and any redemption date for the Notes, the average, as determined by the
Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue

time on the third Business Day preceding such redemption date.

    

    The Company shall not be required to

beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a
notice of redemption of less than all the outstanding Notes and ending at the

or exchange of any Notes called for redemption.  This Global Note is
exchangeable for Notes in definitive registered form only under certain limited
circumstances set forth in the Indenture.

in part only, a new Note or Notes of this series, of like tenor, for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon
the surrender of this Note.

of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or

payment, will not be less than the amount provided in the Securities of this
series to be then due and payable ("Additional Amounts"); provided, however,
that the foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not
apply:

shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or
corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by
a fiduciary holder, being considered as:

business;

    

    (ii)           to
any holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Securities of this
series, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to
the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, a
beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have been entitled to
the payment of an additional amount had the beneficiary, settlor, beneficial
owner or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the
payment;

    

    (iii)           to
any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is imposed or withheld by

becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later;

    

    (vi)           to

    In

    In case an Event of Default, as defined
in the Indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of
the Notes may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and
payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions provided
in the Indenture.

    

    The Indenture contains provisions for
defeasance at any time of the entire indebtedness of this Note upon compliance
by the Company with certain conditions set forth therein.

    

    The Indenture contains provisions
permitting the Company and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of not
less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all
Series __ffected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time
outstanding voting as one class, as defined in the Indenture, to execute
supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing
in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any
supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders
of the Securities; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall
(i) extend the fixed maturity of any Securities of any series, or reduce the
principal amount thereof, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of
interest thereon, or reduce any premium payable upon the redemption thereof, or
reduce the amount of the principal of a Discount Security that would be due and
payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the maturity thereof pursuant to
the Indenture, without the consent of the holder of each Security then
outstanding and affected; (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Securities,
the holders of which are required to consent to any such supplemental indenture,
or reduce the percentage of Securities, the holders of which are required to
waive any default and its consequences, without the consent of the holder of
each Security then outstanding and affected thereby; or (iii) modify any
provision of Section 6.01(c) of the Indenture (except to increase the percentage
of principal amount of securities required to rescind and annul any declaration
of amounts due and payable under the Securities), without the consent of the
holder of each Security then outstanding and affected thereby.  The
Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any Series __t the time
outstanding affected thereby, on behalf of the Holders of the Securities of such
series, to waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants
contained in the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture with
respect to such series, and its consequences, except a default in the payment of
the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any of the Notes of such
series.  Any such consent or waiver by the registered Holder of this
Note (unless revoked as provided in the Indenture) shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of this Note and
of any Note issued in exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by
registration of transfer or otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

    

    No reference herein to the Indenture
and no provision of this Note or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of and premium, if any, and interest on this Note at the time and
place and at the rate and in the money herein prescribed.

    

    As provided in the Indenture and
subject to certain limitations therein set forth, this Note is transferable by
the registered holder hereof on the Security Register of the Company, upon
surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of
the Company as may be designated by the Company accompanied by a written
instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the
Trustee duly executed by the registered Holder hereof or his or her attorney
duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes of authorized
denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount and series will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No service charge
will be made for any such transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.

    

    Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of this Note, the Company, the Trustee, any paying
agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the registered Holder hereof
as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and
notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing hereon made by anyone other
than the Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on
account of the principal hereof and premium, if any, and interest due hereon and
for all other purposes, and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying
agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

    

    No recourse shall be had for the
payment of the principal of or the interest on this Note, or for any claim based
hereon, or otherwise in respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the
Indenture, against any incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past,
present or future, as such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor
corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or
by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability
being, by the acceptance hereof and as part of the consideration for the
issuance hereof, expressly waived and released.

    

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

    

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

    

    This Note shall not be entitled to any
benefit under the Indenture hereinafter referred to, be valid or become
obligatory for any purpose until the Certificate of Authentication hereon shall
have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

    

    IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has
caused this Note to be executed.

Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company
or of such other obligor;

              Compliance
      Certificates and Opinions.

            

    

     

    Except as
otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, upon any application or request
by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under any provision of this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents 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

provided for in this Indenture shall include:

     

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

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

      103.  

            	
              Form
      of Documents Delivered to Trustee.

            

    

     

    (a) Any
Officer’s Certificate may be based (without further examination or
investigation), insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon legal matters,
upon an opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless, in any case, such
officer has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which such Officer’s Certificate may be based
as aforesaid are erroneous.

     

    Any
Opinion of Counsel may be based (without further examination or investigation),
insofar as it relates to or is dependent upon factual matters, information with
respect to which is in the possession of the Company, upon a certificate of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Company, as the case may be,
unless such counsel has actual knowledge that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his opinion may be based
as aforesaid are erroneous.  In addition, any Opinion of Counsel may
be based (without further examination or investigation), insofar as it relates
to or is dependent upon matters covered in an Opinion of Counsel rendered by
other counsel, upon such other Opinion of Counsel, unless such counsel has
actual knowledge that the Opinion of Counsel rendered by such other counsel with
respect to the matters upon which his Opinion of Counsel may be based as
aforesaid are erroneous.  If, in order to render any Opinion of
Counsel provided for herein, the signer thereof shall deem it necessary that
additional facts or matters be stated in any Officer’s Certificate provided for
herein, then such certificate may state all such additional facts or matters as
the signer of such Opinion of Counsel may request.

     

    (b) 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.  Where (i) any
Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests,
consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this
Indenture, or (ii) two or more Persons are each required to make, give or
execute any such application, request, consent, certificate, statement, opinion
or other instrument, any such applications, requests, consents, certificates,
statements, opinions or other instruments may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.

     

    (c) Whenever,
subsequent to the receipt by the Trustee of any Board Resolution, Officer’s
Certificate, Opinion of Counsel or other document or instrument, a clerical,
typographical or other inadvertent or unintentional error or omission shall be
discovered therein, a new document or instrument may be substituted therefor in
corrected form with the same force and effect as if originally filed in the
corrected form and, irrespective of the date or dates of the actual execution
and/or delivery thereof, such substitute document or instrument shall be deemed
to have been executed and/or delivered as of the date or dates required with
respect to the document or instrument for which it is
substituted.  Anything in this Indenture to the contrary
notwithstanding, if any such corrective document or instrument indicates that
action has been taken by or at the request of the Company which could not have
been taken had the original document or instrument not contained such error or
omission, the action so taken shall not be invalidated or otherwise rendered
ineffective but shall be and remain in full force and effect, except to the
extent that such action was a result of willful misconduct or bad
faith.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any
Securities issued under the authority of such defective document or instrument
shall nevertheless be the valid obligations of the Company entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding
Securities, except as aforesaid.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      104.  

            	
              Acts
      of Holders.

            

    

     

    (a) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, election, waiver or
other action provided by this Indenture to be made, 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 or, alternatively, may be embodied in and evidenced by the record of
Holders voting in favor thereof, either in person or by proxies duly appointed
in writing, at any meeting of Holders duly called and held in accordance with
the provisions of Article Thirteen, or a combination of such instruments and any
such record.  Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or
both are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to
the Company.  Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and
the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred
to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments and so
voting at any such meeting.  Proof of execution of any such instrument
or of a writing appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a
Security, shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 901) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.  The record of any meeting of Holders
shall be proved in the manner provided in Section 1306.

     

    (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 the execution thereof or may be proved in any other manner
which the Trustee and the Company deem sufficient.  Where such
execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual
capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof
of his authority.

     

    (c) The
ownership, principal amount (except as otherwise contemplated in clause (y) of
the first proviso to the definition of Outstanding) 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, election, waiver or
other Act of a Holder 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, the Company in reliance thereon, whether or
not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

     

    (e) Until
such time as written instruments shall have been delivered to the Trustee with
respect to the requisite percentage of principal amount of Securities for the
action contemplated by such instruments, any such instrument executed and
delivered by or on behalf of a Holder may be revoked with respect to any or all
of such Securities by written notice by such Holder or any subsequent Holder,
proven in the manner in which such instrument was proven.

     

    (f) Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after any Act
of Holders may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
approved by the Trustee as to any action taken by such Act of
Holders.  If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to such action may be prepared and executed by the
Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for
Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche.

     

    (g) The
Company may, at its option, by Company Order, as appropriate, fix in advance a
record date for the determination of Holders entitled to give any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act solicited
by the Company, but the Company shall have no obligation to do so; provided,
however, that the Company may not fix a record date for the giving or making of
any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next
sentence.  In addition, the Trustee may, at its option, fix in advance
a record date for the determination of Holders entitled to join in the giving or
making of any Notice of Default, any declaration of acceleration referred to in
Section 802, any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 807 or
any direction referred to in Section 812.  If any such record date is
fixed, such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other Act, or such notice, declaration, request or direction, may be given
before or after such record date, but only the Holders of record at the close of
business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the purposes of
determining (i) whether Holders of the requisite proportion of the
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such Act (and
for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of the record
date) and/or (ii) which Holders may revoke any such Act (notwithstanding
subsection (e) of this Section ); and any such Act, given as aforesaid, shall be
effective whether or not the Holders which authorized or agreed or consented to
such Act remain Holders after such record date and whether or not the Securities
held by such Holders remain Outstanding after such record date.

otherwise expressly provided herein, where this Indenture provides for notice to
Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given, and shall be
deemed given, to Holders if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid,
to each Holder affected by such event, at the address of such Holder 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 case
by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice to Holders by mail, then
such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.  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 required by this Indenture may be waived in writing by the Person
entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event otherwise to
be specified therein, 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.

or any Tranche thereof, are to be payable, or are to be payable at the election

    With
respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the indenture
supplemental hereto or the Board Resolution which establishes such series, or

    Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities or any Tranche thereof, the Securities shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by an Authorized Officer of the Company, and may have the corporate
seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by its
Secretary, one of its Assistant Secretaries or any other Authorized
Officer.  The signature of any or all of these officers on the
Securities may be manual or facsimile.

     

    A
Security bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at
the time of execution an Authorized Officer of the Company shall bind the
Company, notwithstanding that any such individual has ceased to be an Authorized
Officer prior to the authentication and delivery of the Security or did not hold
such office at the date of such Security.

     

    The
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of a series, for original
issue, at one time or from time to time in accordance with the Company Order
referred to below, upon receipt by the Trustee of:

     

    (a) the
instrument or instruments establishing the form or forms and terms of the
Securities of such series, as provided in Sections 201 and 301;

     

    (b) a Company
Order requesting the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and, to the
extent that the terms of such Securities shall not have been established in an
indenture supplemental hereto or in a Board Resolution, or in an Officer’s
Certificate pursuant to a supplemental indenture or Board Resolution, all as
contemplated by Sections 201 and 301, either (i) establishing such terms or
(ii) in the case of Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering,
specifying procedures, acceptable to the Trustee, by which such terms are to be
established (which procedures may provide, to the extent acceptable to the
Trustee, for authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic
instructions from the Company or any agent or agents thereof, which oral
instructions are to be promptly confirmed electronically or in writing), in
either case in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant
to clause (a) above;

     

    (c) Securities
of such series, each executed on behalf of the Company by an Authorized Officer
of the Company;

     

    (d) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

     

    (i) (A) the
forms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and the forms
of the Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture;

     

    (ii) (A) the
terms of such Securities have been duly authorized by the Company and the
terms of the Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions
of this Indenture; and

     

    (iii) such
Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued and
delivered by the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified
in such Opinion of Counsel, will have been duly issued under this Indenture and
will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, entitled
to the benefits provided by this Indenture, and enforceable in accordance with
their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or affecting
generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without limitation,
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity (regardless
of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or at
law);

     

    provided,
however, that, with respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic
Offering, the Trustee shall be provided with such Opinion of Counsel only once
at or prior to the time of the first authentication and delivery of Securities
of such series, and that in lieu of the opinions described in clauses (ii) and
(iii) above such Opinion of Counsel may, alternatively, state,
respectively,

     

    (x)           that,
when the terms of such Securities shall have been established pursuant to a
Company Order or Orders or Orders or pursuant to such procedures as may be
specified from time to time by a Company Order or Orders, all as contemplated by
and in accordance with the instrument or instruments delivered pursuant to
clause (a) above, such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company, and
will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
and

     

    (y)           that
such Securities, when (1) executed by the Company, (2) authenticated
and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture, (3) issued
and delivered by the Company and (4) paid for, all as contemplated by and
in accordance with the aforesaid Company Order or Orders or specified
procedures, as the case may be, will have been duly issued under this Indenture
and will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company and
entitled to the benefits provided by the Indenture, and enforceable in
accordance with their terms, subject, as to enforcement, to laws relating to or
affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights, including, without
limitation, bankruptcy and insolvency laws and to general principles of equity
(regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in
equity or at law).

     

    With
respect to Securities of a series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any of such
Securities, the forms and terms thereof and the legality, validity, binding
effect and enforceability thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other
documents delivered pursuant to Sections 201 and 301 and this Section, as
applicable, at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of
such series, unless and until such opinion or other documents have been
superseded or revoked or expire by their terms.  In connection with
the authentication and delivery of Securities of a series, pursuant to a
Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the Company’s
instructions to authenticate and deliver such Securities, do not violate any
applicable law or any applicable rule, regulation or order of any governmental
agency or commission having jurisdiction over the Company.

     

    If the
forms or terms of the Securities of any series have been established by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate as permitted by
Sections 201 or 301, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issuance of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the
Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
securities, or any Tranche thereof, each Security, shall each be dated the date
of its authentication.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of
Securities, or any Tranche thereof, 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 herein executed by the Trustee or its agent by manual
signature of an authorized officer thereof, and such certificate upon any
Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security
has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any
Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder to the Company,
or any Person acting on its behalf, but shall never have been issued and sold by
the Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for
cancellation as provided in Section 309 together with a written statement (which
need not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the
Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never
to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled
to the benefits hereof.

              Temporary
      Securities.

            

    

     

    Pending
the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof,
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, 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; provided, however, that temporary
Securities need not recite specific redemption, sinking fund, conversion or
exchange provisions.

     

    If
temporary Securities of any series or Tranche are issued, the Company shall
cause definitive Securities of such series or Tranche to be prepared without
unreasonable delay.  After the preparation of definitive Securities of
such series or Tranche, the temporary Securities of such series or Tranche shall
be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series or Tranche, upon
surrender of the temporary Securities of such series or Tranche at the office or
agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of Payment
for such series or Tranche, without charge to the Holder.  Upon
surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any series
or Tranche, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor definitive Securities of the same series or
Tranche, of authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount.

     

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

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      305.  

            	
              Registration,
      Registration of Transfer and
Exchange.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall cause to be kept in one of the offices or agencies designated
pursuant to Section 602, with respect to the Securities of each series or any
Tranche thereof, a register (the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities of such series or Tranche and the registration of
transfer thereof.  The Company shall designate one Person to maintain
the Security Register for the Securities of each series, and such Person is
referred to herein, with respect to such series, as the “Security
Registrar.”  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Company may designate one or more of its offices or an office of any Affiliate
as an office in which a register with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, or any Tranche or Tranches thereof, shall be maintained, and the Company
may designate itself or any Affiliate as the Security Registrar with respect to
one or more of such series.  The Security Register shall be open for
inspection by the Trustee and the Company at all reasonable times.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, upon surrender for
registration of transfer of any Security of such series or Tranche at the office
or agency of the Company maintained pursuant to Section 602 in a Place of
Payment for such series or Tranche, 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 the same series and Tranche, of
authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal
amount.

     

    Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, any Security of such series or
Tranche may be exchanged at the option of the Holder for one or more new
Securities of the same series and Tranche, of authorized denominations and of
like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to
be exchanged at any such office or agency.  Whenever any Securities
are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities, which the Holder making the
exchange is entitled to receive.

     

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

     

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

     

    Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, with respect to Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, no service charge shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 406 or 1206 not
involving any transfer.

     

    The
Company shall not be required to execute or to provide for the registration of
transfer of or the exchange of (a) Securities of any series, or any Tranche
thereof, during a period of 15 days immediately preceding the date notice is to
be given identifying the serial numbers of the Securities of such series or
Tranche called for redemption or (b) any Security so selected for
redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security
being redeemed in part.

      306.  

            	
              Mutilated,
      Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities.

            

    

     

    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 the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and principal amount, and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     

    If there
shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (a) evidence to their
satisfaction of the ownership of and the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (b) such security or indemnity as may be reasonably required
by them to save each of them and any agent of any 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 the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and Tranche, and of like tenor and
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, 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.

     

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

     

    Every new
Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any 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 other than the Holder of such new
Security, and any such new Security shall be entitled to all the benefits of
this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of
such series duly issued hereunder.

     

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

    Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, interest on any Security 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 (or one or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular
Record Date for such interest.

     

    Subject
to Section 312, any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but
is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder on the related Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder,
and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each
case, as provided in clause (a) or (b) below:

     

    (a) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a date (a “Special Record
Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the
following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of
the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such
series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company,
as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to
the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest
or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
clause provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record
Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15
days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not
less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed
payment.  The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such
Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall
promptly cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each
Holder of Securities of such series at the address of such Holder 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 such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business
on such Special Record Date.

     

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

     

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

    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 as the absolute owner of such Security
for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and premium, if any, and
(subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on such Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of
the Company, the Trustee or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

    All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or
exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to
any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not
theretofore canceled, shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee.  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 or which the Company shall not have issued and
sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the
Trustee.  No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Securities held
by the Trustee shall be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee’s customary
procedures, and the Trustee shall promptly deliver a certificate of disposition
to the Company upon its request therefor unless, by a Company Order, the Company
shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it.

      of Interest.

            

    

     

    Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of any series,
or Tranche thereof, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed
on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with
respect to any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed during such period.

      to Be in Proper Currency.

            

    

     

    In the
case of any Security denominated in any currency other than Dollars or in a
composite currency (the “Required Currency”), except as otherwise specified with
respect to such Security as contemplated by Section 301, the obligation of the
Company to make any payment of the principal thereof, or the premium, if any, or
interest, if any, thereon, shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender by
the Company, or recovery by the Trustee, in any currency other than the Required
Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the
Trustee timely holding the full amount of the Required Currency then due and
payable.  If any such tender or recovery is in a currency other than
the Required Currency, the Trustee may take such actions as it considers
appropriate to exchange such currency for the Required Currency.  The
costs and risks of any such exchange, including without limitation the risks of
delay and exchange rate fluctuation, shall be borne by the Company and the
Company shall remain fully liable for any shortfall or delinquency in the full
amount of Required Currency then due and payable, and in no circumstances shall
the Trustee be liable therefor except in the case of its negligence or willful
misconduct.  The Company hereby waives any defense of payment based
upon any such tender or recovery which is not in the Required Currency, or
which, when exchanged for the Required Currency by the Trustee, is less than the
full amount of Required Currency then due and payable.

              Extension
      of Interest Payment.

            

    

     

    The
Company shall have the right at any time, so long as no Event of Default
hereunder has occurred and is continuing with respect to the Securities of any
series, to extend interest payment periods from time to time on all Securities
of such series, if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to
such Securities and upon such terms as may be specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to such Securities.

              Additional
      Interest.

            

    

     

    So long
as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, if the Trust which issued such
Preferred Securities shall be required to pay, with respect to its income
derived from the interest payments on the Securities of any series, any amounts
for or on account of any taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of
whatever nature imposed by the United States, or any other taxing authority,
then, in any such case, the Company will pay as interest on such series such
additional interest (“Additional Interest”) as may be necessary in order that
the net amounts received and retained by such Trust after the payment of such
taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges shall result in such Trust’s
having such funds as it would have had in the absence of any such
payments.

     

    Whenever
in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context, the payment of interest on
the Securities, such mention shall be deemed to include the payment of
Additional Interest to the extent that, in such context, Additional Interest is,
was or would be payable in respect thereof.

    The
Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” or other similar numbers (if
then generally in use), and, if so, the Company or the Trustee may use “CUSIP”
or such other numbers in notices or 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, in which case neither the
Company nor the Trustee, nor any agent of either of them, shall have any
liability in respect of any CUSIP or such other numbers used on any such notice,
and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of
such numbers.

    The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or an Officer’s Certificate.  The Company shall, at least
45 days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter
notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee and, in the
case of Securities of a series held by a Trust, the Property Trustee under the
related Trust Agreement in writing of such Redemption Date and of the principal
amount of such Securities to be redeemed, provided that the Trustee be given a
draft notice at least 15 days prior to the giving of the notice of
redemption.  In the case of any redemption of Securities
(a) prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided
in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or
(b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject to a condition
specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction or condition.

      of Securities to Be Redeemed.

            

    

     

    If less
than all the Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of such series or Tranche not previously
called for redemption, by such method as shall be provided for such particular
series or Tranche, or in the absence of any such provision, by such method of
random selection as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may,
in any case, provide for the selection for redemption of portions (equal to any
authorized denomination for Securities of such series or Tranche) of the
principal amount of Securities of such series or Tranche of a denomination
larger than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series or
Tranche; provided, however, that if, as indicated in an Officer’s Certificate,
the Company shall have offered to purchase all or any principal amount of the
Securities then Outstanding of any series, or any Tranche thereof, and less than
all of such Securities as to which such offer was made shall have been tendered
to the Company for such purchase, the Trustee, if so directed by Company Order,
shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities which
have not been so tendered.

     

    The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected
for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected to be redeemed in
part, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

     

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

otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section
301, notice of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106
to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60
days prior to the Redemption Date.

     

    All
notices of redemption shall state:

     

    (a) the
Redemption Date,

     

    (b) the
Redemption Price, or the formula pursuant to which the Redemption Price is to be
determined if the Redemption Price cannot be determined at the time the notice
is given,

     

    (c) if less
than all the Outstanding Securities of any series or Tranche are to be redeemed,
the identification of the particular Securities to be redeemed and the portion
of the principal amount of any Security to be redeemed in part,

     

    (d) that on
the Redemption Date the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if
any, to the Redemption Date, will become due and payable upon each such Security
to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will cease to accrue on
and after said date,

     

    (e) the place
or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any, unless it shall have been
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Securities that
such surrender shall not be required,

     

    (f) that the
redemption is for a sinking or other fund, if such is the case,

     

    (g) the CUSIP
numbers, if any, assigned to such Securities; provided, however, that such
notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of CUSIP
numbers, and the redemption of such Securities shall not be affected by any
defect in or omission of such numbers, and

     

    (h) such
other matters as the Company shall deem desirable or appropriate.

     

    Unless
otherwise specified with respect to any Securities in accordance with Section
301, with respect to any notice of redemption of Securities at the election of
the Company, unless, upon the giving of such notice, the redemption moneys are
on deposit with the Trustee, such redemption shall be conditional upon the
receipt by the Paying Agent or Agents for such Securities, on or prior to the
date fixed for such redemption, of money sufficient to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest, if any, on such Securities and, if such money
shall not have been so received, such notice shall be of no force or effect and
the Company shall not be required to redeem such Securities.  In the
event that such money is not so received, the redemption shall not be made and
within a reasonable time thereafter notice shall be given, in the manner in
which the notice of redemption was given, that such money was not so received
and such redemption was not required to be made, and the Paying Agent or Agents
for the Securities otherwise to have been redeemed shall promptly return to the
Holders thereof any of such Securities which had been surrendered for payment
upon such redemption.

     

    Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company, and any
notice of non-satisfaction of a condition for redemption as aforesaid, shall be
given by the Company or, on Company Request, by the Trustee in the name and at
the expense of the Company.

    Notice of
redemption having been given as aforesaid, and the conditions, if any, set forth
in such notice having been satisfied, the Securities or portions thereof 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, in the
case of an unconditional notice of redemption, the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities or
portions thereof, if interest-bearing, shall cease to bear
interest.  Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in
accordance with such notice, such Security or portion thereof shall be paid by
the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest, if any, to
the Redemption Date; provided, however, that no such surrender shall be a
condition to such payment if so specified as contemplated by Section 301 with
respect to such Security; and provided, further, that except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to such Security, any
installment of interest on any Security the Stated Maturity of which installment
is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holder of such
Security, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close
of business on the related Regular Record Date according to the terms of such
Security and subject to the provisions of Sections 305 and 307.

Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such Security, without service charge,
a new Security or Securities of the same series and Tranche, of any authorized
denomination requested by such Holder and of like tenor and in aggregate
principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the
principal of the Security so surrendered.

              Satisfaction
      of Sinking Fund Payments with
Securities.

            

    

     

    The
Company (a) may deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities (other than
any previously called for redemption) of a series or Tranche in respect of which
a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (b) may apply as a
credit Securities of such series or Tranche which have been (i) redeemed either
at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Securities or (ii) purchased by the Company in the open
market, by tender offer or otherwise, in each case in satisfaction of all or any
part of such mandatory sinking fund payment; provided, however, that no
Securities shall be applied in satisfaction of a mandatory sinking fund payment
if such Securities shall have been previously so applied.  Securities
so applied shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the
Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation
of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall
be reduced accordingly.

    Not less
than 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for the Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee an
Officer’s Certificate specifying:

     

    (a) he amount
of the next succeeding mandatory sinking fund payment for such series or
Tranche;

     

    (b) the
amount, if any, of the optional sinking fund payment to be made together with
such mandatory sinking fund payment;

     

    (c) the
aggregate sinking fund payment;

     

    (d) the
portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied
by the payment of cash;

     

    (e) the
portion, if any, of such aggregate sinking fund payment which is to be satisfied
by delivering and crediting Securities of such series or Tranche pursuant to
Section 502 and stating the basis for such credit and that such Securities have
not previously been so credited, and the Company shall also deliver to the
Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.

     

    If the
Company shall not deliver such Officer’s Certificate, the next succeeding
sinking fund payment for such series or Tranche shall be made entirely in cash
in the amount of the mandatory sinking fund payment.  Not less than 40
days before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner
specified in Section 403 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 404.  Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of
such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in
Sections 405 and 406.

    The
Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for the Securities of each
series, or any Tranche thereof, an office or agency where payment of such
Securities shall be made or surrendered for payment, where registration of
transfer or exchange of such Securities may be effected and where notices and
demands to or upon the Company in respect of such Securities and this Indenture
may be served.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of each such office or
agency and prompt notice to the Holders of any such change in the manner
specified in Section 106.  If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain any such required office or agency in respect of Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, payment of such Securities may be made, registration of
transfer or exchange thereof may be effected and notices and demands in respect
thereby may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and each of
the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent for all such purposes in
any such event.

     

    The
Company may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or
agencies with respect to the Securities of one or more series, or any Tranche
thereof, for any or all of the foregoing purposes and may from time to time
rescind such designations; provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified
as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series or
Tranche, no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the
Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency for such purposes in
each Place of Payment for such Securities in accordance with the requirements
set forth above.  The Company shall give prompt written notice to the
Trustee, and prompt notice to the Holders in the manner specified in Section
106, of any such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of
any such other office or agency.

     

    Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any office or agency required by this
Section may be maintained at an office of the Company or any Affiliate thereof,
in which event the Company or such Affiliate, as the case may be, shall perform
all functions to be performed at such office or agency.

              Money
      for Securities Payments to Be Held in
Trust.

            

    

     

    If the
Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent with respect to the
Securities of any series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, on or before each
due date of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of
such Securities, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal and premium, if any, or
interest, if any, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     

    Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for the Securities of any
series, or any Tranche thereof, it shall, prior to each due date of the
principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if any, on such Securities,
deposit with such Paying Agents sums sufficient (without duplication) to pay the
principal and premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest,
and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company shall promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

     

    The
Company shall cause each Paying Agent for the Securities of any series, or any
Tranche thereof, other than the Company or the Trustee, to execute and deliver
to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent
shall:

     

    (a) hold all
sums held by it for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on Securities of such series or Tranche in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;

     

    (b) give the
Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal of and
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or
Tranche; and

     

    (c) at any
time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the
Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
Agent and furnish to the Trustee such information as it possesses regarding the
names and addresses of the Persons entitled to such sums.

     

    The
Company may at any time pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay,
to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such
sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such
sums were held by the Company or such Paying Agent and, if as stated in a
Company Order delivered to the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of
Article Seven; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such
Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.

     

    Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of and premium, if any, or interest, if
any, on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal
and premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be 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, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
required to make any such payment to the Company, may at the expense of the
Company, either (a) cause to be mailed, on one occasion only, notice to
such Holder that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such mailing, any
unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be paid to the Company or
(b) cause to be published once, in a newspaper published in the English
language, customarily published on each Business Day and of general circulation
in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, notice that such money
remains unclaimed and that after a date specified therein, which shall not be
less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance of
such money then remaining will be paid to the Company.

    Not later

the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate which need not comply with Section 102,
executed by its principal executive officer, principal financial officer or
principal accounting officer, as to such officer’s knowledge of such obligor’s
compliance with all conditions and covenants under this Indenture, such

    (a) Section
607, 608 or any covenant or restriction specified with respect to the Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, as contemplated by Section 301 or by
Section 1201(b), if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
series and Tranches with respect to which compliance with such covenant or
restriction is to be omitted, considered as one class, shall, by Act of such
Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition; and

     

    (b) Section
604 or 1101, if before the time for such compliance the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of Securities Outstanding under this Indenture shall, by Act of
such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive
compliance with such term, provision or condition;

     

    but, in
either case, no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or
condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall
become effective, the obligations of the Company and the duties of the Trustee
in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall remain in full force
and effect; provided, however, so long as a Trust holds Securities of any
series, such Trust may not waive compliance or waive any default in compliance
by the Company with any covenant or other term contained in this Indenture or
the Securities of such series without the approval of the holders of at least a
majority in aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding Preferred
Securities issued by such Trust affected, obtained as provided in the Trust
Agreement pertaining to such Trust.

    Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301, if the Company shall have
elected to extend any interest payment period as provided in Section 312, and
any such period, or any extension thereof, shall be continuing, then in either
case the Company shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on its capital stock, or (ii) redeem, purchase, acquire or
make a liquidation payment with respect to any Securities or capital stock, or
(iii) pay any principal, interest or premium on, or repay, purchase or
redeem any debt securities that are equal or junior in right of payment to the
Securities or (iv) make any payments with respect to any guarantee by the
Company of debt securities if such guarantee is equal or junior in right of
payment to the Securities.

     

    Unless
otherwise specifically provided as contemplated by Section 301, the foregoing
provisions do not prevent or restrict the Company from making: (1) purchases,
redemptions or other acquisitions of its capital stock in connection with any
employment contract, benefit plan or other similar arrangement with or for the
benefit of employees, officers, directors, agents or consultants or a stock
purchase, dividend reinvestment or similar plan, or the satisfaction of its
obligations pursuant to any contract or security outstanding on the date that
the interest payment period is extended requiring it to purchase, redeem or
acquire its capital stock, (2) any payment, repayment, redemption, purchase,

as a result of a reclassification of its capital stock, or the exchange or
conversion of all or a portion of one class or series of its capital stock for
another class or series of its capital stock, (3) the purchase of fractional

connection with the settlement of stock purchase contracts outstanding on the
date that the payment of interest is deferred, (5) redemptions, exchanges or
purchases of, or with respect to, any rights outstanding under a shareholder
rights plan or the declaration or payment thereunder of a dividend or
distribution of or with respect to rights in the future, or (6) payments on the
Securities or any preferred trust securities, subordinated debentures, junior
subordinated debentures or guarantees of the foregoing, in each case that rank
equal in right of payment to the Securities, so long as the amount of payments
made on account of such securities or guarantees is paid on all such securities
and guarantees then outstanding on a pro rata basis in proportion to the full
distributions to which each series of such securities and guarantees is then
entitled, if paid in full.

(i) maintain direct or indirect ownership of all interests in the Trust
which issued such Preferred Securities, other than such Preferred Securities,
(ii) not voluntarily (to the extent permitted by law) dissolve, liquidate

as a grantor trust for Federal income tax purposes, provided that any permitted
successor to the Company under this Indenture may succeed to the Company’s
duties as Depositor of such Trust; and provided further that the Company may
permit such Trust to consolidate or merge with or into another business trust or
other permitted successor under the Trust Agreement pertaining to such Trust so

its obligations under this Indenture will also be for the benefit of the holders
from time to time of Preferred Securities, and the Company acknowledges and
agrees that such holders will be entitled to enforce this Indenture, as third
party beneficiaries, directly against the Company to the same extent as if such

deemed to have been paid for all purposes of this Indenture, and the entire
indebtedness of the Company in respect thereof shall be satisfied and
discharged, if there shall have been irrevocably deposited with the Trustee or
any Paying Agent (other than the Company), in trust:

an amount which shall be sufficient, or

     

    (b) in the
case of a deposit made prior to the Maturity of such Securities or portions
thereof, Eligible Obligations, which shall not contain provisions permitting the
redemption or other prepayment thereof at the option of the issuer thereof, the

such Securities or portions thereof shall have been selected by the Trustee as
provided herein and, in the case of a redemption, the notice requisite to the
validity of such redemption shall have been given or irrevocable authority shall
have been given by the Company to the Trustee to give such notice, under
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee; and provided, further, that the

    (x)           if
such deposit shall have been made prior to the Maturity of such Securities, a
Company Order stating that the money and Eligible Obligations deposited in
accordance with this Section shall be held in trust, as provided in Section

the Trustee shall, upon Company Request, acknowledge in writing that such

portions thereof shall nevertheless be no longer entitled to the benefits
provided by this Indenture or of any of the covenants of the Company under
Article Six (except the covenants contained in Sections 602 and 603) or any
other covenants made in respect of such Securities or portions thereof as

provided in this Section, the Trustee shall select such Securities, or portions
of principal amount thereof, in the manner specified by Section 403 for
selection for redemption of less than all the Securities of a series or
Tranche.

     

    In the
event that Securities which shall be deemed to have been paid for purposes of

indebtedness shall have been satisfied and discharged, all as provided in this
Section, do not mature and are not to be redeemed within the sixty (60) day
period commencing with the date of the deposit of moneys or Eligible
Obligations, as aforesaid, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, give a

regard to the provisions of this paragraph), the Trustee or any Paying Agent, as
the case may be, (i) shall be required to return the money or Eligible
Obligations, or combination thereof, deposited with it as aforesaid to the
Company or its representative under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law, or (ii) are unable to apply any money in
accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any
order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining
or otherwise prohibiting such application, such Security shall thereupon be
deemed retroactively not to have been paid and any satisfaction and discharge of
the Company’s indebtedness in respect thereof shall retroactively be deemed not
to have been effected, and such Security shall be deemed to remain Outstanding

    (a) no
Securities remain Outstanding hereunder; and

Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company;

     

    provided,
however, that if, in accordance with the last paragraph of Section 701, any
Security, previously deemed to have been paid for purposes of this Indenture,
shall be deemed retroactively not to have been so paid, this Indenture shall
thereupon be deemed retroactively not to have been satisfied and discharged, as
aforesaid, and to remain in full force and effect, and the Company shall execute
and deliver such instruments as the Trustee shall reasonably request to evidence

Trustee shall turn over to the Company any and all money, securities and other
property then held by the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders of the
Securities (other than money and Eligible Obligations held by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 703) and shall execute and deliver to the Company such

payments on such Eligible Obligations, if not then needed for such purpose,
shall, to the extent practicable and upon Company Request and delivery to the
Trustee of the documents referred to in clause (y) in the first paragraph of

              Events
      of Default.

            

    

     

    “Event of
Default”, wherever used herein with respect to Securities of any series, means
any one of the following events, subject to such additions and exceptions as may
be provided pursuant to Section 301:

     

    (a) failure
to pay any interest on any Security of such series when it becomes due and
payable (whether or not payment is prohibited by the subordination provisions of
Article Fourteen) and continuance of such default for a period of 30 days;
provided, however, that a valid extension of the interest payment period by the
Company as contemplated in Section 312 of this Indenture shall not constitute a
default in the payment of interest for this purpose; or

     

    (b) failure
to pay the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of such series when
it becomes due and payable (whether or not payment is prohibited by the
subordination provisions of Article Fourteen) and continuance of such default
for a period of three Business Days; or

     

    (c) failure
to comply with, or breach of, any covenant or warranty of the Company in this
Indenture (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of
which or breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or
which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of
one or more series of Securities other than such series) and continuance of such
default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given, by
registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee, or to the Company
and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 33% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default
or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a
“Notice of Default” hereunder, unless the Trustee, or the Trustee and the
Holders of a principal amount of Securities of such series not less than the
principal amount of Securities the Holders of which gave such notice, as the
case may be, shall agree in writing to an extension of such period prior to its
expiration; provided, however, that the Trustee, or the Trustee and the Holders
of such principal amount of Securities of such series, as the case may be, shall
be deemed to have agreed to an extension of such period if corrective action is
initiated by the Company within such period and is being diligently pursued in
good faith; or

     

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

     

    (e) the
commencement by the Company of a voluntary case or proceeding under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law or of any other case or proceeding to be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by the Company to the entry of a decree or order for
relief in respect of the Company in a case or proceeding under any applicable
Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law or
to the commencement of any bankruptcy or insolvency case or proceeding against
the Company or the filing by the Company of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State law, or
the consent by the Company to the filing of such petition or to the appointment
of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator or similar official of the Company or of any substantial part of
its property, or the making by the Company of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the admission by the Company in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, or the authorization of such action by
the Board of Directors of the Company; or

     

    (f) any other
Event of Default specified with respect to Securities of such
series.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      802.  

            	
              Acceleration
      of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment.

            

    

     

    Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated in Section 301, if an Event of Default (other
than an Event of Default specified in clause (c) of the definition thereof in
Section 801) shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding, then in every such case the Trustee or the
Holders of not less than 33% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series may declare the principal amount of all Securities of such series
(or, if any of the Securities of such series are Discount Securities, such
portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified in the
terms thereof as contemplated by Section 301) and interest accrued thereon to be
due and payable immediately (provided that the payment of principal and interest
on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in this
Indenture), by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon receipt by the Company of notice of such declaration of
acceleration, such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become
immediately due and payable; provided, however, that if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to all outstanding series of
Securities, the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 33% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series, considered as one
class, may make such declaration of acceleration, and not the Holders of the
Securities of any one of such series (provided that the payment of principal and
interest on such Securities shall remain subordinated to the extent provided in
this Indenture).

     

    Neither
the Trustee nor the Holders shall be entitled to make a declaration of
acceleration with respect to an Event of Default specified in clause (c) of the
definition thereof, and no series of Securities as to which such an Event of
Default is the only Event of Default shall be considered outstanding for the
purpose of determining whether the required vote, as specified in the preceding
paragraph, has been obtained.

     

    At any
time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any
series shall have been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the
money due shall have been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article
provided, such declaration and its consequences shall, without further act, be
deemed to have been rescinded and annulled, if

     

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

     

    (1) all
overdue interest, if any, on all Securities of such series then
Outstanding;

     

    (2) the
principal of and premium, if any, on any Securities of such series then
Outstanding which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in
such Securities;

     

    (3) to the
extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest
at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities;

     

    (4) all
amounts due to the Trustee under Section 907;

     

    and

     

    (b) all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities of such series which shall have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 813.

     

    No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right
consequent thereon.

      803.  

            	
              Collection
      of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
  Trustee.

            

    

     

    If an
Event of Default described in clause (a) or (b) of Section 801 shall have
occurred and be continuing, the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay
to it, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the series with
respect to which such Event of Default shall have occurred, the whole amount
then due and payable on such Securities for principal and premium, if any, and
interest, if any, and, to the extent permitted by law, interest on premium, if
any, and on any overdue principal and interest, at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under Section
907.  Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect
to any series of Securities, the rate or rates at which Securities shall bear
interest on overdue principal, premium, and interest, if any, shall be, to the
extent permitted by law, the same rate or rates at which such Securities shall
bear interest prior to Maturity.

     

    If the
Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee,
in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, 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 such 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 such Securities, wherever
situated.

     

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

              Trustee
      May File Proofs of Claim.

            

    

     

    In case
of the pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or
the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities 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, premium, if any, and
interest, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the
claims of the Trustee (including any claim for amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 907) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding,
and

     

    (b) to
collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any
such claims and to distribute the same;

     

    and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder 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 amounts due it under Section 907.

     

    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
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, be a member of a creditors’ or
similar other committee.

              Trustee
      May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
  Securities.

            

    

     

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

    Any money
collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the
following order, to the extent permitted by law, at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of
principal or premium, if any, or interest, if any, upon presentation of the
Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money shall have
been collected and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

     

    First:  To the
payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 907;

     

    Second: Subject to the
provisions of Article Fourteen, to the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid upon the Securities for principal of and premium, if any, and interest,
if any, 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, if any, respectively;

     

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

      on Suits.

            

    

     

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

     

    (a) such
Holder shall have previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series;

     

    (b) the
Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of all series in respect of which an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, considered as one class, 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 shall have offered to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to it
in its reasonable judgment 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 shall have failed to institute any such proceeding; and

     

    (e) no
direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series in respect of which
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, considered as one
class;

     

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

    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
of and premium, if any, and (subject to Section 307 and 312) interest, if any,
on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Maturities expressed in such Security
(or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired
without the consent of such Holder.  In addition, in the case of
Securities of a series held by a Trust, a holder of Preferred Securities may
directly institute a proceeding for enforcement of payment to such holder of
principal of or interest on the Securities having a principal amount equal to
the aggregate liquidation preference amount of the Preferred Securities of such
holder on or after the due dates specified or provided for in the
Securities.

      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 shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee
or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in
such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and such Holder shall be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and such Holder shall continue as though
no such proceeding had been instituted.

    Except as
otherwise provided in the last paragraph of Section 306, 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.

              Delay
      or Omission Not Waiver.

            

    

     

    No delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder 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 or by the Holders, as the case may
be.

    If an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing in respect of a series of
Securities, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the
Securities of such series; provided, however, that if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing with respect to more than one series of
Securities, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all such series, considered as one class, shall have
the right to make such direction, and not the Holders of the Securities of any
one of such series; and provided, further, that

     

    (a) such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
and could not involve the Trustee in personal liability in circumstances where
indemnity would not, in the Trustee’s sole discretion, be adequate,
and

     

    (b) the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.

              Waiver
      of Past Defaults.

            

    

     

    The
Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the
Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such
series and its consequences, except a default

     

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

     

    (b) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 1202 cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected.

     

    ;
provided, however, that so long as a Trust holds the Securities of any series,
such Trust may not waive any past default without the consent of at least a
majority in aggregate liquidation preference of the outstanding Preferred
Securities issued by such Trust affected, obtained as provided in the Trust
Agreement pertaining to such Trust.  Any such waiver by holders of a
majority in aggregate liquidation preference of outstanding Preferred Securities
issued by any such Trust shall be deemed to be on behalf of all holders of
Preferred Securities issued by any such Trust.

     

    Upon any
such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any and all Events 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.

    The
Company and the Trustee agree, and each Holder by his acceptance thereof shall
be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess
reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, against any
party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of
the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, in each case in the manner,
to the extent, and subject to the exceptions provided in the Trust Indenture
Act; provided, that the provisions of this Section shall not be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment
in any suit instituted by the Company.

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

Trustee undertakes to perform, with respect to Securities of such series, such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and
no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against
the Trustee; and

     

    (2) in the
absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may, with respect to Securities of
such series, 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).

     

    (b) In case
an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to Securities of
such series, such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and
use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own
affairs.

     

    (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

     

    (1) this
subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of subsection (a) of this
Section;

     

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

     

    (3) 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 of any one or more
series, as provided herein, relating to the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of such series; and

     

    (4) 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.

such default shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that in the
case of any default of the character specified in Section 801(c), no such notice

thereof.  For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means
any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become, an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series.

    The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities endorsed thereon (except the
Trustee’s certificates of authentication) shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, as the case may be, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating
Agent assumes responsibility for their correctness.  The Trustee makes

      Held in Trust.

            

    

     

    Money
held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds,
except to the extent required by law.  The Trustee shall be under no
liability for interest on or investment of any money received by it hereunder
except as expressly provided herein or otherwise agreed with, and for the sole
benefit of, the Company.

      and Reimbursement.

            

    

     

    The
Company agrees

     

    (a) to pay to
the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services rendered

in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);

     

    (b) except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances reasonably incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture

or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     

    As
security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this
Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property
and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, other than property and
funds held in trust under Section 703 (except as otherwise provided in Section

    When the
Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 801(d) or Section 801(e), the expenses (including
the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the
services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law.

     

    The
provisions of this Section 907 shall survive the termination of this Indenture
and the resignation and removal of the Trustee.

Trust Indenture Act, it shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or
resign to the extent, in the manner and with the effect, and subject to the
conditions, provided in the Trust Indenture Act and this
Indenture.  For purposes of Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture
Act and to the extent permitted thereby, the Trustee, in its capacity as trustee
in respect of the Securities of any series, shall not be deemed to have a
conflicting interest arising from its capacity as trustee in respect of

    There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be

     

    (a) a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus
of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal,
State or District of Columbia authority, or

     

    (b) if and to
the extent permitted by the Commission by rule, regulation or order upon
application, a corporation or other Person organized and doing business under
the laws of a foreign government, authorized under such laws to exercise
corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 or the Dollar equivalent of the applicable foreign currency and
subject to supervision or examination by authority of such foreign government or
a political subdivision thereof substantially equivalent to supervision or
examination applicable to United States institutional trustees

     

    and, in
either case, qualified and eligible under this Article and the Trust Indenture
Act.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of such 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 and the Trust Indenture Act, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified
in this Article.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      910.  

            	
              Resignation
      and Removal; Appointment of
Successor.

            

    

     

    (a) No
resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee
pursuant to this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of
appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the applicable
requirements of Section 911.

     

    (b) The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.  If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911 shall
not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such
notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at the expense of the
Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

     

    (c) The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series
by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series delivered to the Trustee and the Company; provided
that so long as any Preferred Securities remain outstanding, the Trust which
issued such Preferred Securities shall not execute any Act to remove the Trustee
without the consent of the holders of a majority in aggregate liquidation
preference of Preferred Securities issued by such Trust outstanding, obtained as
provided in the Trust Agreement pertaining to such Trust.  If the
notice of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 911 shall not
have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving to the
Trustee of notice of removal, the Trustee to be removed may petition at the
expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

     

    (d) If at any
time:

     

    (1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 908 after written
request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder
for at least six months, or

     

    (2) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 909 or Section 310(a) of the
Trust Indenture Act and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by
the Company or by any such Holder, or

     

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

     

    then, in
any such case, (x) the Company by Board Resolutions may remove the Trustee
with respect to all Securities or (y) subject to Section 814, any Holder
who has been a bona fide Holder for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

     

    (e) If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause (other than as contemplated
by clause (y) in subsection (d) or this Section), with respect to the Securities
of one or more series, the Company, by Board Resolutions, shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee or Trustees 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 of such series and that at
any time (subject to Section 915) there shall be only one Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 911.  If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
911, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and
accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 911, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months
may, on behalf of itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.

     

    (f) So long
as no event which is, or after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become,
an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and except with
respect to a Trustee appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section,
if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee (i) Board Resolutions of
the Company appointing a successor Trustee, effective as of a date specified
therein, and (ii) an instrument of acceptance of such appointment,
effective as of such date, by such successor Trustee in accordance with Section
911, the Trustee shall be deemed to have resigned as contemplated in subsection
(b) of this Section, the successor Trustee shall be deemed to have been
appointed by the Company pursuant to subsection (e) of this Section and such
appointment shall be deemed to have been accepted as contemplated in Section
911, all as of such date, and all other provisions of this Section and Section
911 shall be applicable to such resignation, appointment and acceptance except
to the extent inconsistent with this subsection (f).

     

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

    (a) In case
of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of all series, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of all sums owed to it, execute and deliver an instrument transferring
to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring
Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee
all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

     

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

     

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

     

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

Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto.  In case any Securities shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities.

311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act), the Trustee shall be subject to any and all
applicable provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of
claims against the Company or such other obligor.  For purposes of
Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act (a) the term “cash transaction”
shall have the meaning provided in Rule 11b-4 under the Trust Indenture Act, and
(b) the term “self-liquidating paper” shall have the meaning provided in

authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series or Tranche issued upon original issuance, exchange, registration of
transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and
Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture
and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the
Trustee hereunder.  Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to
the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing

Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section.

     

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

     

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

     

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

     

    The
provisions of Sections 308, 904 and 905 shall be applicable to each
Authenticating Agent.

     

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

     

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

    If all of
the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the
Trustee does not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon
original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have
Securities of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if
so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with
Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall
appoint, in accordance with this Section and in accordance with such procedures
as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent having an office
in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of
Securities.

              Co-trustee
      and Separate Trustees.

            

    

     

    At any
time or times, for the purpose of meeting the legal requirements of any
applicable jurisdiction, the Company and the Trustee shall have power to
appoint, and, upon the written request of the Trustee or of the Holders of at
least 33% in principal amount of the Securities then Outstanding, the Company
shall for such purpose join with the Trustee in the execution and delivery of
all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to appoint, one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee either to act as co-trustee, jointly with the
Trustee, or to act as separate trustee, in either case with such powers as may
be provided in the instrument of appointment, and to vest in such Person or
Persons, in the capacity aforesaid, any property, title, right or power deemed
necessary or desirable, subject to the other provisions of this
Section.  If the Company does not join in such appointment within 15
days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or if an Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have power to
make such appointment.

     

    Should
any written instrument or instruments from the Company be required by any
co-trustee or separate trustee to more fully confirm to such co-trustee or
separate trustee such property, title, right or power, any and all such
instruments shall, on request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the
Company, as the case may be.

     

    Every
co-trustee or separate trustee shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to
such extent only, be appointed subject to the following conditions:

     

    (a) the
Securities shall be authenticated and delivered, and all rights, powers, duties
and obligations hereunder in respect of the custody of securities, cash and
other personal property held by, or required to be deposited or pledged with,
the Trustee hereunder, shall be exercised solely, by the Trustee;

     

    (b) the
rights, powers, duties and obligations hereby conferred or imposed upon the
Trustee in respect of any property covered by such appointment shall be
conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed either by the Trustee or by
the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, as shall be
provided in the instrument appointing such co-trustee or separate trustee,
except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act is to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate
trustee.

     

    (c) the
Trustee at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, with the
concurrence of the Company, may accept the resignation of or remove any
co-trustee or separate trustee appointed under this Section, and, if an Event of
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee shall have power to
accept the resignation of, or remove, any such co-trustee or separate trustee
without the concurrence of the Company.  Upon the written request of
the Trustee, the Company shall join with the Trustee in the execution and
delivery of all instruments and agreements necessary or proper to effectuate
such resignation or removal.  A successor to any co-trustee or
separate trustee so resigned or removed may be appointed in the manner provided
in this Section;

     

    (d) no
co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be personally liable by reason of
any act or omission of the Trustee, or any other such trustee hereunder, and the
Trustee shall not be personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any
such co-trustee or separate trustee; and

     

    (e) any Act
of Holders delivered to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been delivered to
each such co-trustee and separate trustee.

    Subject
to the provisions of Section 1201, with the consent of the Holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series
then Outstanding under this Indenture, considered as one class, by Act of said
Holders delivered to the Company and the Trustee the Company, when authorized by
Board Resolutions, and the Trustee may enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in

however, that if there shall be Securities of more than one series Outstanding
hereunder and if a proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the
rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such
series, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series so directly
affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further,
that if the Securities of any series shall have been issued in more than one
Tranche and if the proposed supplemental indenture shall directly affect the
rights of the Holders of Securities of one or more, but less than all, of such
Tranches, then the consent only of the Holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all Tranches so directly
affected, considered as one class, shall be required; and provided, further,
that no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of
each Outstanding Security of each series or Tranche so directly
affected,

     

    (a) change
the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of principal of or
interest on (except as provided in Section 312 hereof), any Security (other than
pursuant to the terms thereof), or reduce the principal amount thereof or the
rate of interest thereon (or the amount of any installment of interest thereon)
or change the method of calculating such rate or reduce any premium payable upon
the redemption thereof, or reduce the amount of the principal of a Discount
Security that would be due and payable upon a declaration of acceleration of the
Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 802, or change the coin or currency (or
other property), in which any Security or any premium or the interest thereon is
payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such
payment on or after the Stated Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption,
on or after the Redemption Date), or

     

    (b) reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
(or, if applicable, in liquidation preference of any series of Preferred
Securities) or any Tranche thereof, the consent of the Holders of which is
required for any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of
which is required for any waiver of compliance with any provision of this
Indenture or of any default hereunder and its consequences, or reduce the
requirements of Section 1304 for quorum or voting, or

     

    (c) modify
any of the provisions of this Section, Section 606 or Section 813 with respect
to the Securities of any series or any Tranche thereof, except to increase the
percentages in principal amount referred to in this Section or such other
Sections or to provide that other provisions of this Indenture cannot be
modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security affected thereby; provided, however, that this clause shall not be
deemed to require the consent of any Holder with respect to changes in the
references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes in this Section, or the
deletion of this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 911(b)
and 1201(h).

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, so long as any of the Preferred Securities remain outstanding,
the Trustee may not consent to a supplemental indenture under this Section 1202
without the prior consent, obtained as provided in a Trust Agreement pertaining
to a Trust which issued such Preferred Securities, of the holders of not less
than a majority in aggregate liquidation preference of all Preferred Securities
issued by such Trust affected, considered as one class, or, in the case of
changes described in clauses (a), (b) and (c) above, 100% in aggregate
liquidation preference of all such Preferred Securities then outstanding which
would be affected thereby, considered as one class.  A supplemental
indenture which (x) changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision
of this Indenture which has expressly been included solely for the benefit of
the Holders of, or which is to remain in effect only so long as there shall be
Outstanding, Securities of one or more particular series, or one or more
Tranches thereof, or (y) modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities
of such series or Tranches with respect to such covenant or other provision,
shall be deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of
Securities of any other series or Tranche.

     

    It shall
not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.  A waiver
of a Holder’s right to consent under this Section shall be deemed to be a
consent of such Holder.

    Securities
of any series, or any Tranche thereof, authenticated and delivered after the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall
if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in such supplemental indenture.  If the
Company shall so determine, new Securities of any series, or any Tranche

such supplemental Board Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be
accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all conditions set

Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to which a
meeting shall have been called as hereinbefore provided, considered as one
class, shall constitute a quorum for a meeting of Holders of Securities of such

such meeting which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders
of a specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class,
the Persons entitled to vote such specified percentage in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class,
shall constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a quorum within one hour
of the time appointed for any such meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at
the request of Holders of Securities of such series and Tranches, be
dissolved.  In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for such
period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the
adjournment of such meeting.  In the absence of a quorum at any such
adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for such
period as may be determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the
adjournment of such adjourned meeting.  Except as provided by Section
1305(e), notice of the reconvening of any meeting adjourned for more than 30
days shall be given as provided in Section 1302(a) not less than ten days prior
to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be
reconvened.  Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall
state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches which shall constitute a
quorum.

     

    Except as
limited by Section 1202, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned
meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted
only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of the series and Tranches with respect to
which such meeting shall have been called, considered as one class; provided,
however, that, except as so limited, any resolution with respect to any action
which this Indenture expressly provides may be taken by the Holders of a
specified percentage, which is less than a majority, in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series and Tranches, considered as one class, may
be adopted at a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a

    (a) Attendance
at meetings of Holders of Securities may be in person or by proxy; and, to the
extent permitted by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect and be binding
upon any future Holder of the Securities with respect to which it was given
unless and until specifically revoked by the Holder or future Holder of such
Securities before being voted.

     

    (b) Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Indenture, the Trustee may make such reasonable
regulations as it may deem advisable for any meeting of Holders of Securities in
regard to proof of the holding of such Securities and of the appointment of
proxies and in regard to the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes, the
submission and examination of proxies, certificates and other evidence of the
right to vote, and such other matters concerning the conduct of the meeting as
it shall deem appropriate.  Except as otherwise permitted or required
by any such regulations, the holding of Securities shall be proved in the manner
specified in Section 104 and the appointment of any proxy shall be proved in the
manner specified in Section 104.  Such regulations may provide that
written instruments appointing proxies, regular on their face, may be presumed
valid and genuine without the proof specified in Section 104 or other
proof.

     

    (c) The
Trustee shall, by an instrument in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the
meeting, unless the meeting shall have been called by the Company or by Holders
as provided in Section 1302(b), in which case the Company or the Holders of
Securities of the series and Tranches calling the meeting, as the case may be,
shall in like manner appoint a temporary chairman.  A permanent
chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by vote of
the Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches represented at the meeting,
considered as one class.

     

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

     

    (e) Any
meeting duly called pursuant to Section 1302 at which a quorum is present may be
adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of all series and Tranches
represented at the meeting, considered as one class; and the meeting may be held

shall make and file with the secretary of the meeting their verified written
reports of all votes cast at the meeting.  A record, in duplicate, of
the proceedings of each meeting of Holders shall be prepared by the secretary of
the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the original reports of
the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by
one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the
notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in
Section 1302 and, if applicable, Section 1304.  Each copy shall be
signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of
the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to the Company, and another to
the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto
the ballots voted at the meeting.  Any record so signed and verified

  Company.

            

    

     

    The
Company, for itself, its successors and assigns, covenants and agrees, and each
Holder of the Securities of each series, by its acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that the payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on each and all of the Securities is hereby expressly
subordinated and subject to the extent and in the manner set forth in this
Article, in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company.  The Securities of each series will rank

Securities.

     

    Each
Holder of the Securities of each series, by its acceptance thereof, authorizes
and directs the Trustee on its behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article, and
appoints the Trustee its attorney-in-fact for any and all such

liquidation, reorganization or other similar proceedings in respect of the
Company or a substantial part of its property, or of any proceedings for
liquidation, dissolution or other winding up of the Company, whether or not

Section 1403, that (i) a default shall have occurred with respect to the
payment of principal of or interest on or other monetary amounts due and payable
on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company and such default shall have continued
beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof, or (ii) there shall
have occurred a default (other than a default in the payment of principal or
interest or other monetary amounts due and payable) in respect of any Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, as defined therein or in the instrument under which
the same is outstanding, permitting the holder or holders thereof to accelerate
the maturity thereof (with notice or lapse of time, or both), and such default
shall have continued beyond the period of grace, if any, in respect thereof,
and, in the cases of subclauses (i) and (ii) of this clause (b), such default
shall not have been cured or waived or shall not have ceased to exist, or (c)
that the principal of and accrued interest on the Securities of any series shall
have been declared due and payable pursuant to Section 801 and such declaration
shall not have been rescinded and annulled as provided in Section 802,

    (1) the
holders of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall first be entitled to
receive payment of the full amount due thereon, or provision shall be made for
such payment in money or money’s worth, before the Holders of any of the
Securities are entitled to receive a payment on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, or interest on the indebtedness evidenced by the Securities,
including, without limitation, any payments made pursuant to Articles Four and
Five;

     

    (2) any
payment by, or distribution of assets of, the Company of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, to which any Holder or the Trustee
would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, shall be paid or
delivered by the Person making such payment or distribution, whether a trustee
in bankruptcy, a receiver or liquidating trustee or otherwise, directly to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or
representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may
have been issued, ratably according to the aggregate amounts remaining unpaid on
account of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company held or represented by each,
to the extent necessary to make payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness of
the Company remaining unpaid after giving effect to any concurrent payment or
distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness
of the Company, before any payment or distribution is made to the Holders of the
indebtedness evidenced by the Securities or to the Trustee under this Indenture;
and

     

    (3) in the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment by, or distribution of
assets of, the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, in respect of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the
Securities or in connection with any repurchase by the Company of the
Securities, shall be received by the Trustee or any Holder before all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company is paid in full, or provision is made for such
payment in money or money’s worth, such payment or distribution in respect of
principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Securities or in connection
with any repurchase by the Company of the Securities shall be paid over to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company or their representative or
representatives or to the trustee or trustees under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have
been issued, ratably as aforesaid, for application to the payment of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid until all such Senior Indebtedness
of the Company shall have been paid in full, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution (or provision therefor) to the holders of
such Senior Indebtedness of the Company.

     

    Notwithstanding
the foregoing, at any time after the 123rd day following the date of deposit of
cash or Eligible Obligations pursuant to Section 701 or 702 (provided all
conditions set out in such Section shall have been satisfied), the funds so
deposited and any interest thereon will not be subject to any rights of holders
of Senior Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, those
arising under this Article Fourteen; provided that no event described in clauses
(e) and (f) of Section 801 with respect to the Company has occurred during such
123-day period.

perform such obligation and (ii) either (A) no final judgment relating
to such dispute shall have been issued against the Company which is in full

Indebtedness of the Company shall not be deemed to have been paid in full unless

satisfactory to such holders) in full payment of such Senior Indebtedness of the
Company then outstanding.  Upon the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, the rights of the Holders of the Securities shall

to receive any further payments or distributions of cash, property or securities

such payments or distributions of cash, property or securities received by the
Holders of the Securities, by reason of such subrogation, which otherwise would
be paid or distributed to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness of the Company
shall, as between the Company, its creditors other than the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders, be deemed to be a payment by the
Company to or on account of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, it being
understood that the provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for

contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is
intended to or shall impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company and the Holders, the obligation of
the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities as and when the
same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is intended
to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of the
Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, nor shall
anything herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company in respect of cash, property or securities of
the Company received upon the exercise of any such remedy.

     

    Upon any
payment or distribution of assets or securities of the Company referred to in
this Article, the Trustee and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any
order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceedings are pending for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company and other
indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount
or amounts paid or distributed thereon, and all other facts pertinent thereto or
to this Article.

     

    The
Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a
Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company
(or a representative of such holder or a trustee under any indenture under which
any instruments evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have
been issued) to establish that such notice has been given by a holder of such
Senior Indebtedness of the Company or such representative or trustee on behalf
of such holder.  In the event that the Trustee determines in good
faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person
as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate in any payment
or distribution pursuant to this Article, the Trustee may request such Person to
furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount
of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by such Person, the extent to which
such Person is entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any
other facts pertinent to the right of such Person under this Article, and, if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person
pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such
payment or distribution.

Company.

            

    

     

    The
Trustee shall be entitled to all rights set forth in this Article with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company at any time held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company.  Nothing in this Article shall deprive the Trustee of any of
its rights as such holder.  Nothing in this Article shall apply to
claims of, or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section
907.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1408.  

            	
              Notice
      to Trustee to Effectuate
Subordination.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Article or any other provision of the Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment of moneys to or by the Trustee unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company, from a Holder or from a holder of any Senior Indebtedness of the
Company or from any representative or representatives of such holder or any
trustee or trustees under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing
any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued and, prior to
the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee shall be entitled, subject
to Section 901, in all respects to assume that no such facts exist; provided,
however, that, if prior to the fifth Business Day preceding the date upon which
by the terms hereof any such moneys may become payable for any purpose, or in
the event of the execution of an instrument pursuant to Section 701 or 702
acknowledging that Securities or portions thereof are deemed to have been paid
for all purposes of this Indenture, acknowledging that the entire indebtedness
of the Company in respect thereof has been satisfied and discharged or
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, then if prior to the
second Business Day preceding the date of such execution, the Trustee shall not
have received with respect to such moneys the notice provided for in this
Section, then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee may, in its discretion, receive such moneys and/or apply the same to the
purpose for which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to
the contrary, which may be received by it on or after such date; provided,
however, that no such application shall affect the obligations under this
Article of the persons receiving such moneys from the Trustee.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1409.  

            	
              Modification,
      Extension, etc. of Senior Indebtedness of the
  Company.

            

    

     

    The
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company may, without affecting in any
manner the subordination of the payment of the principal of and premium, if any,
and interest, if any, on the Securities, at any time or from time to time and in
their absolute discretion, agree with the Company to change the manner, place or
terms of payment, change or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter,
any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or amend or supplement any instrument
pursuant to which any Senior Indebtedness of the Company is issued, or exercise
or refrain from exercising any other of their rights under the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company including, without limitation, the waiver of default
thereunder, all without notice to or assent from the Holders or the
Trustee.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1410.  

            	
              Trustee
      Has No Fiduciary Duty to Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
      Company.

            

    

     

    With
respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, the Trustee
undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and objectives as
are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or
obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee.  The Trustee
shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it
shall mistakenly pay over or deliver to the Holders or the Company or any other
Person, money or assets to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1411.  

            	
              Paying
      Agents Other Than the Trustee.

            

    

     

    In case
at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have been appointed by
the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee” as used in this
Article shall in such case (unless the context shall otherwise require) be
construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning as
fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in this
Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided, however, that
Sections 1407, 1408 and 1410 shall not apply to the Company if it acts as Paying
Agent.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1412.  

            	
              Rights
      of Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company Not
    Impaired.

            

    

     

    No right
of any present or future holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to enforce
the subordination herein shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any
noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants of this
Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1413.  

            	
              Effect
      of Subordination Provisions;
Termination.

            

    

     

    Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, other than as provided in the
immediately succeeding sentence, all the provisions of this Indenture shall be
subject to the provisions of this Article, so far as the same may be applicable
thereto.

     

    Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the provisions of this Article
Fourteen shall be of no further effect, and the Securities shall no longer be
subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment of Senior Indebtedness of
the Company, if the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a notice to such
effect.  Any such notice delivered by the Company shall not be deemed
to be a supplemental indenture for purposes of Article Twelve.

     

    
      	
              SECTION
      1414.  

            	
              Reliance
      on Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating
  Agent.

            

    

     

    Upon any
payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to in this Article,
the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, and the Holders of the
Securities shall be entitled to conclusively rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such insolvency,
bankruptcy, receivership, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution, winding up
or similar case or proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, Custodian, receiver, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, agent or other person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the
Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or
distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article.

obligation, covenant or agreement under this Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, as such, past, present or future
of the Company or of any predecessor or successor of either of them (either
directly or through the Company, as the case may be, or a predecessor or
successor of either of them), whether by virtue of any constitutional provision,
statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any assessment or penalty or
otherwise; it being expressly agreed and understood that this Indenture and all
the Securities are solely corporate obligations, and that no personal liability
whatsoever shall attach to, or be incurred by, any incorporator, stockholder,
officer or director, past, present or future, of the Company or of any

Company or any predecessor or successor of either of them, because of the
indebtedness hereby authorized or under or by reason of any of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any of the Securities
or to be implied herefrom or therefrom, and that any such personal liability is
hereby expressly waived and released as a condition of, and as part of the
consideration for, the execution of this Indenture and the issuance of the
Securities.
