                any
                reason, including (but not exclusively) because an Award is forfeited,

                the
                shares of Stock that were subject to that Award shall no longer be
                charged

                2.2 and

                right of the Corporation to reduce the number of outstanding shares
                of
                Stock pursuant to repurchases, redemptions, or otherwise; provided,
                however, that no reduction in the number of outstanding shares of
                Stock
                shall (a) impair the validity of any outstanding Award, whether or
                not

              Committee.
                The Committee shall administer the Plan with respect to all Eligible
                Individuals who are subject to Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board
                of
                Directors may administer the Plan with respect to all other Eligible
                Individuals or may delegate all or part of that duty to the Committee.
                Except for references in Paragraphs 3.1, 3.2, and 3.3 and unless
                the
                context otherwise requires, references herein to the Committee shall
                also
                refer to the Board of Directors. The Committee shall be constituted
                so

                Act,
                each member of the Committee shall be both a Non-Employee Director
                and an

                Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act provided by Rule 16b-3, to the
                extent
                exemptions thereunder may be available, and for the performance-based
                compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Committee
                is nevertheless not so constituted, then the Plan shall be administered,
                and each grant of Awards to Eligible Individuals who are subject
                to
                Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act shall be approved, by the Board
                of
                Directors. No discretion regarding Awards to Eligible Individuals
                who are
                subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act or Section 162(m) of
                the Code
                shall be afforded to a person who is not both a Non-Employee Director
                and
                an Outside Director. The number of persons that shall constitute
                the
                Committee shall be determined from time to time by a majority of
                all the
                members of the Board of Directors, but shall be no less than two
                persons.

                from
                time to time, to remove members from or add members to the Committee.

                individual serving as a member of the Committee shall have the right
                to
                resign from membership in the Committee by at least three days prior
                written notice to the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors,
                and not
                the remaining members of the Committee, shall have the power and
                authority
                to fill vacancies on the Committee, however caused. The Board of
                Directors
                shall promptly fill any vacancy that causes the number of members
                of the
                Committee to be below two or any other number that Rule 16b-3 or
                Section
                162(m) may require from time to
                time.

              Meetings
                and Actions of Committee. The Board of Directors shall designate
                which of
                the Committee members shall be the chairman of the Committee. If
                the Board
                of Directors fails to designate a Committee chairman, the members
                of the
                Committee shall elect one of the Committee members as chairman, who
                shall
                act as chairman until he ceases to be a member of the Committee or
                until
                the Board of Directors elects a new chairman. The Committee shall
                hold its
                meetings at those times and places as the chairman of the Committee
                may
                determine. At all meetings of the Committee, a quorum for the transaction
                of business shall be required, and a quorum shall be deemed present
                if at
                least a majority of the members of the Committee are present. At
                any
                meeting of the Committee, each member shall have one vote. All decisions
                and determinations of the Committee shall be made by the majority
                vote or
                majority decision of all of its members present at a meeting at which
                a
                quorum is present; provided, however, that any decision or determination
                reduced to writing and signed by all of the members of the Committee
                shall
                be as fully effective as if it had been made at a meeting that was
                duly
                called and held. The Committee may make any rules and regulations
                for the
                conduct of its business that are not inconsistent with the provisions
                of
                the Plan, the Certificate of Incorporation, the By-laws of the
                Corporation, Rule 16b-3 and the performance-based compensation exception
                under Section 162(m) of the Code, so long as either is applicable,
                as the
                Committee may deem advisable.

              Committee's
                Powers. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, Rule 16b-3
                and the
                performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of

                shall be granted; (c) to determine the number of shares of Stock
                that
                shall be the subject of each Award; (d) to determine the terms and

                or
                transferred pursuant to any Award is restricted, (iii) the effect
                of
                termination of employment on the Award, and (iv) the effect of approved
                leaves of absence (consistent with any applicable regulations of

                under the Plan to such agents as it may appoint from time to time,

                performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of
                the Code;

      4.  ELIGIBILITY AND PARTICIPATION

     

    
      	
              4.1

            	
              Eligible
                Individuals. Awards may be granted pursuant to the Plan only to persons
                who are Eligible Individuals at the time of the grant
                thereof.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.2

            	
              Grant
                of Awards. Subject to the express provisions of the Plan, the Committee
                shall determine which Eligible Individuals shall be granted Awards
                from
                time to time. In making grants, the Committee shall take into
                consideration the contribution the potential Holder has made or may
                make
                to the success of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and such other
                considerations as the Board of Directors may from time to time specify.
                The Committee shall also determine the number of shares subject to
                each of
                the Awards and shall authorize and cause the Corporation to grant
                Awards
                in accordance with those determinations; provided, however, that
                no
                Eligible Individual shall be granted Options in any single fiscal
                year of
                the Corporation, the total number of shares subject to which exceed
                100,000 shares.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.3

            	
              Date
                of Grant. The date on which the Committee completes all action resolving
                to offer an Award to an individual, including the specification of
                the
                number of shares of Stock to be subject to the Award, shall be the
                date on
                which the Award covered by an Award Agreement is granted (the "Date
                of
                Grant"), even though certain terms of the Award Agreement may not
                be
                determined at that time and even though the Award Agreement may not
                be
                executed until a later time. In no event shall a Holder gain any
                rights in
                addition to those specified by the Committee in its grant, regardless
                of
                the time that may pass between the grant of the Award and the actual
                execution of the Award Agreement by the Corporation and the
                Holder.

              Award
                Agreements. Each Award granted under the Plan shall be evidenced
                by
                an Award Agreement that is executed by the Corporation and the
                Eligible Individual to whom the Award is granted incorporating those
                terms
                that the Committee shall deem necessary or desirable. More than one
                Award
                may be granted under the Plan to the same Eligible Individual and
                be
                outstanding concurrently. In the event an Eligible Individual is
                granted
                both one or more Incentive Options and one or more Nonstatutory Options,
                those grants shall be evidenced by separate Award Agreements, one
                for each
                of the Incentive Option grants and one for each of the Nonstatutory
                Option
                grants.

            

    

     

    
      	
              4.5

            	
              Limitation
                for Incentive Options. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein
                to
                the contrary, (a) a person shall not be eligible to receive an Incentive
                Option unless he is an Employee of the Corporation or a corporate
                Subsidiary (but not a partnership Subsidiary), and (b) a person shall
                not
                be eligible to receive an Incentive Option if, immediately before
                the time
                the Option is granted, that person owns (within the meaning of Sections
                422 and 425 of the Code) stock possessing more than ten percent of
                the
                total combined voting power or value of all classes of stock of the
                Corporation or a Subsidiary. Nevertheless, subparagraph 4.5(b) shall
                not
                apply if, at the time the Incentive Option is granted, the Exercise
                Price
                of the Incentive Option is at least one hundred and ten percent (110%)
                of
                Fair Market Value and the Incentive Option is not, by its terms,
                exercisable after the expiration of five years from the Date of
                Grant.

              No
                Right to Award. The adoption of the Plan shall not be deemed to give
                any
                person a right to be granted an
                Award.

      5.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS

                fulfillment of condition.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.3

            	
              Expiration
                of Options. Nonstatutory Options and Incentive Options may be exercised
                during the term determined by the Committee and set forth in the

                Agreement; provided that no Option shall be exercised after the expiration
                of a period of ten years commencing on the Date of Grant of such
                Option.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.4

            	
              Exercise
                Price. Each Award Agreement shall state the exercise price per share
                of
                Stock (the "Exercise Price"). The Exercise Price per share of Stock
                subject to an Option shall not be less than the greater of (a) the
                par
                value per share of the Stock or (b) 100% of the Fair Market Value

              Method
                of Exercise. The Option shall be exercisable only by written notice
                of
                exercise (the "Exercise Notice") delivered to the Corporation during
                the
                term of the Option, which notice shall (a) state the number of shares
                of
                Stock with respect to which the Option is being exercised, (b) be
                signed
                by the Holder of the Option or, if the Holder is dead or Disabled,

                instruments, and documents as may be required to satisfy any other
                condition to exercise contained in the Award Agreement. The Option
                shall
                not be deemed to have been exercised unless all of the requirements
                of the
                preceding provisions of this Paragraph 5.5 have been
                satisfied.

              Medium
                and Time of Payment. The Exercise Price of an Option shall be payable
                in
                full upon the exercise of the Option (a) in cash or by an equivalent
                means
                acceptable to the Committee, (b) on the Committee's prior consent
                (expressed in the original Award Agreement in the case of any Incentive
                Option), by surrendering or attesting to ownership of shares of Stock
                owned by the Holder (including shares received upon exercise of the

                Committee elects to accept shares of Stock in payment of all or any
                portion of the Exercise Price, then (for purposes of payment of the
                Exercise Price) those shares of Stock shall be deemed to have a cash
                value
                equal to their aggregate Fair Market Value determined as of the date
                of
                the delivery of the Exercise Notice. If the Committee elects to accept
                shares of restricted Stock in payment of all or any portion of the
                Exercise Price, then an equal number of shares issued pursuant to
                the
                exercise shall be restricted on the same terms and for the restriction
                period remaining on the shares used for
                payment.

              Payment
                with Sale Proceeds. In addition, at the request of the Holder and
                to the
                extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may (but shall
                not be
                required to) approve arrangements with a brokerage firm under which
                that
                brokerage firm, on behalf of the Holder, shall pay to the Corporation
                the
                Exercise Price of the Option being exercised, and the Corporation
                shall
                promptly deliver the exercised shares to the brokerage firm. To accomplish
                this transaction, the Holder must deliver to the Corporation an Exercise
                Notice containing irrevocable instructions from the Holder to the
                Corporation to deliver the stock certificates directly to the broker.
                Upon
                receiving a copy of the Exercise Notice acknowledged by the Corporation,
                the broker shall sell that number of shares of Stock an amount sufficient
                to pay the Exercise Price and any withholding obligations due. The
                broker
                shall then deliver to the Corporation that portion of the sale necessary
                to cover the Exercise Price and any withholding obligations due.
                The
                Committee shall not approve any transaction of this nature if the
                Committee believes that the transaction would give rise to the Holder's
                liability for short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange
                Act.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.9

            	
              Payment
                of Taxes. The Committee may, in its discretion, require a Holder
                to pay to
                the Corporation (or the Corporation's Subsidiary if the Holder is
                an
                employee of a Subsidiary of the Corporation), at the time of the
                exercise
                of an Option, the amount that the Committee deems necessary to satisfy
                the
                Corporation's or its Subsidiary's current or future obligation to
                withhold
                federal, state or local income or other taxes that the Holder incurs
                by
                exercising an Option. Upon the exercise of an Option requiring tax
                withholding, a Holder may (a) direct the Corporation to withhold
                from the
                shares of Stock to be issued to the Holder the number of shares necessary
                to satisfy the Corporation's minimum statutory obligation to withhold
                taxes, that determination to be based on the shares' Fair Market
                Value as
                of the date on which tax withholding is to be made; (b) deliver to
                the
                Corporation sufficient shares of Stock (based upon the Fair Market
                Value
                at date of withholding) to satisfy the Corporation's tax withholding
                obligations, based on the shares' Fair Market Value as of the date
                of
                exercise; or (c) deliver sufficient cash to the Corporation to
                satisfy its tax withholding obligations. Holders who elect to use
                such a
                stock withholding feature must make the election at the time and
                in the
                manner that the Committee prescribes. The Committee may, in its sole
                discretion, deny any Holder's request to satisfy withholding obligations
                through Stock instead of cash. In the event the Committee subsequently
                determines that the aggregate Fair Market Value (as determined above)
                of
                any shares of Stock withheld as payment of any tax withholding obligation
                is insufficient to discharge that tax withholding obligation, then
                the
                Holder shall pay to the Corporation, immediately upon the Committee's
                request, the amount of that deficiency. Upon the disposition (within
                the
                meaning of Code Section 424(c)) of shares of Stock acquired pursuant
                to
                the exercise of an Incentive Option prior to the expiration of the
                holding
                period requirements of Code Section 422(a)(1), the Holder shall be
                required to give notice to the Corporation of such disposition and
                the
                Corporation shall have the right to require the Holder to pay to
                the
                Corporation the amount of any taxes that are required by law to be
                withheld with respect to such
                disposition.

            

    

     

    
      	
              5.10

            	
              Limitation
                on Aggregate Value of Shares That May Become First Exercisable During
                Any
                Calendar Year Under an Incentive Option. Except as is otherwise provided
                in Paragraph 9.2, with respect to any Incentive Option granted under
                this
                Plan, the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of Stock subject
                to an
                Incentive Option and the aggregate Fair Market Value of shares of
                Stock or
                stock of any Subsidiary (or a predecessor of the Corporation or a
                Subsidiary) subject to any other incentive stock option (within the
                meaning of Section 422 of the Code) of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries
                (or a predecessor corporation of any such corporation) that first
                become purchasable by a Holder in any calendar year may not (with
                respect to that Holder) exceed $100,000, or such other amount as
                may be
                prescribed under Section 422 of the Code or applicable regulations
                or
                rulings from time to time. As used in the previous sentence, Fair
                Market
                Value shall be determined as of the date the Incentive Option is
                granted.
                For purposes of this Paragraph 5.10, "predecessor corporation" means
                (a) a corporation that was a party to a transaction described in
                Section 425(a) of the Code (or which would be so described if a
                substitution or assumption under that Section had been effected)
                with the
                Corporation, (b) a corporation which, at the time the new incentive
                stock
                option (within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code) is granted,
                is
                a Subsidiary of the Corporation or a predecessor corporation of any
                such corporations, or (c) a predecessor corporation of any such
                corporations. Failure to comply with this provision shall not impair
                the
                enforceability or exercisability of any Option, but shall cause the
                excess
                amount of shares to be reclassified in accordance with the
                Code.

              No
                Fractional Shares. The Corporation shall not in any case be required
                to
                sell, issue, or deliver a fractional share with respect to any Option.
                In
                lieu of the issuance of any fractional share of Stock, the Corporation
                shall pay to the Holder an amount in cash equal to the same fraction
                (as
                the fractional Stock) of the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock
                determined as of the date of the applicable Exercise
                Notice.

              Modification,
                Extension and Renewal of Options. Subject to the terms and conditions
                of
                and within the limitations of the Plan, Rule 16b-3, the performance-based
                compensation exception of Section 162(m) of the Code, and any consent
                required by the last sentence of this Paragraph 5.12, the Committee
                may
                (a) modify, vest, extend or renew outstanding Options granted under
                the
                Plan, (b) accept the surrender of Options outstanding hereunder (to
                the
                extent not previously exercised) and authorize the granting of new
                Options
                in substitution for outstanding Options (to the extent not previously
                exercised), and (c) amend the terms of an Incentive Option at any
                time to
                include provisions that have the effect of changing the Incentive
                Option
                to a Nonstatutory Option. Nevertheless, without the consent of the
                Holder, the Committee may not modify any outstanding Options so as
                to
                specify a higher or lower Exercise Price or accept the surrender
                of
                outstanding Incentive Options and authorize the granting of new Options
                in
                substitution therefor specifying a higher or lower Exercise Price.
                In
                addition, no modification of an Option granted hereunder shall, without
                the consent of the Holder, alter or impair any rights or obligations
                under
                any Option theretofore granted hereunder to such Holder under the
                Plan
                except, with respect to Incentive Options, as may be necessary to
                satisfy
                the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or as permitted in clause
                (c)
                of this Paragraph 5.12.

              Other
                Agreement Provisions. The Award Agreements authorized under the Plan
                shall
                contain such provisions in addition to those required by the Plan
                (including, without limitation, restrictions or the removal of
                restrictions upon the exercise of the Option and the retention or
                transfer
                of shares thereby acquired) as the Committee may deem advisable.
                Each
                Award Agreement shall identify the Option evidenced thereby as an
                Incentive Option or Nonstatutory Option, as the case may be, and
                no Award
                Agreement shall cover both an Incentive Option and a Nonstatutory
                Option.
                Each Award Agreement relating to an Incentive Option granted hereunder
                shall contain such limitations and restrictions upon the exercise
                of the
                Incentive Option to which it relates as shall be necessary for the
                Incentive Option to which such Award Agreement relates to constitute
                an
                incentive stock option, as defined in Section 422 of the
                Code.

                the
                vesting of which is subject to a required period of employment or
                service

              Restricted
                Stock awarded to Holders may not be sold, assigned, transferred,
                pledged
                or otherwise encumbered, except as hereinafter provided, for a period
                of
                10 years or such shorter period as the Board may determine, but not
                less
                than one year, after the time of the award of such stock (the "Restricted
                Period"). Except for such restrictions, the Holder as owner of such
                shares
                shall have all the rights of a stockholder, including but not limited
                to

                the
                Board, the right to receive all dividends paid on such
                shares.

              The
                Board may in its discretion, at any time after the date of the award
                of
                Restricted Stock, adjust the length of the Restricted Period to account
                for individual circumstances of a Holder or group of Holders, but
                in no
                case shall the length of the Restricted Period be less than one
                year.

              Except
                as otherwise determined by the Board in its sole discretion, a Holder
                whose employment or service with the Company and all Related Corporations
                terminates prior to the end of the Restricted Period for any reason
                shall
                forfeit all shares of Restricted Stock remaining subject to any
                outstanding Restricted Stock Award.

                certificate issued in respect of shares of Restricted Stock awarded
                under
                the Plan shall be registered in the name of the Holder and, at the
                discretion of the Board, each such certificate may be deposited in
                a bank
                designated by the Board. Each such certificate shall bear the following

              Definition.
                A “Stock Unit” Award is the grant of a right to receive shares of Stock in
                the future. A “Performance Share” Award is a grant of shares of Stock or
                Stock Units which is contingent on the achievement of performance
                or other
                objectives during a specified period. The number of Performance
                Shares earned, and the value received for them, will be contingent
                on the
                degree to which the performance measures established at the time
                of the
                initial award are met.

              Terms
                and Conditions of Awards. For each Holder, the Board will determine
                the
                timing of awards; the number of Stock Units or Performance Shares
                awarded;
                the performance measures used for determining whether the Performance
                Shares are earned; the performance period during which the performance
                measures will apply; the relationship between the level of achievement
                of
                the performance measures and the degree to which Performance Shares
                are
                earned; whether, during or after the performance period, any revision
                to
                the performance measures or performance period should be made to
                reflect
                significant events or changes that occur during the performance period;
                the number of earned Performance Shares that will be paid in cash
                and/or
                shares of Stock; and whether dividend equivalents will be paid on
                Stock
                Units or Performance Shares, either currently or on a deferred
                basis.

              Payment.
                The Board will compare the actual performance to the performance
                measures
                established for the performance period and determine the number of
                shares
                of Stock to be issued. Payment for Performance Shares earned shall
                be
                wholly in cash, wholly in Stock or in a combination of the two, in
                a lump
                sum or installments, and subject to vesting requirements and such
                other
                conditions as the Board shall provide. The Board will determine the
                number
                of earned Performance Shares to be paid in cash and the number to
                be paid
                in Stock. For Performance Shares payable in shares of Stock, one
                share of
                Stock will be paid for each share earned, or cash will be paid for
                each
                share earned equal to either (a) the Fair Market Value of a share
                of Stock
                at the end of the performance period or (b) the Fair Market Value
                of the
                Stock averaged for a number of days determined by the Board. For
                Performance Shares awarded in cash, the value of each share earned
                will be
                paid in its initial cash value, or shares of Stock will be distributed
                based on the cash value of the shares earned divided by (a) the Fair
                Market Value of a share of Stock at the end of the performance period
                or
                (b) the Fair Market Value of a share of Stock averaged for a number
                of
                days determined by the Board.

              Retirement,
                Death or Termination. A Holder whose employment or service with the
                Corporation and Related Corporations terminates because of Normal
                Retirement or death either (i) during a performance period, or (ii)
                prior
                to the delivery date for Stock Units, shall be entitled to the prorated
                value of earned Performance Shares or Stock Units, at the conclusion
                of
                the performance period (or the deferred delivery date) based on the
                ratio
                of the months the Holder was employed (or during which he rendered
                services as a consultant) during the period to the total months of
                the
                performance period (or from the date of the award of the Stock Units
                until
                the deferred delivery date). If the Holder's employment or service
                with
                the Corporation and Related Corporations terminates for any reason
                other
                than Normal Retirement or death (i) during a performance period, or
                (ii) prior to the delivery date for Stock Units, the Performance
                Shares or
                Stock Units will be forfeited on the date his employment or service
                terminates. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph
                7.4, the Board may determine that the Holder will be entitled to
                receive
                all or any portion of the Performance Shares or Stock Units that
                he or she
                would otherwise receive, and may accelerate the determination and
                payment
                of the shares or units or make such other adjustments as the Board,
                in its
                sole discretion, deems desirable.

            

    

     

    

    

    

    SECTION
      8.  TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

     

    All
      Stock
      Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall comply with, and the related
      Award Agreements shall be deemed to include and be subject to, the terms and
      conditions set forth in this Section 8 and also to the terms and conditions
      set
      forth in Sections 9 and 10; provided, however, that the Committee may authorize
      an Award Agreement that expressly contains terms and provisions that differ
      from
      the terms and provisions set forth in Paragraphs 9.2 and 9.3 and any of the
      terms and provisions of Section 10 (other than
      Paragraph 10.10).

     

    
      	
              8.1

            	
              Definition.
                A Stock Appreciation Right is an award that may be granted on a
                stand-alone basis or in tandem with an Incentive Option or a Nonstatutory
                Option, and entitles the Holder to receive an amount equal to the
                difference between the Fair Market Value of the shares of Stock at
                the
                time of exercise of the Stock Appreciation Right and the Fair Market
                Value
                of the shares of Stock on the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation
                Right, subject to the following provisions of this Section
                8.

            

    

     

    
      	
              8.2

            	
              Exercise.
                A Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised under the applicable
                terms and
                conditions of the Award Agreement. A Stock Appreciation Right shall
                entitle the Holder to receive, upon the exercise of the Stock Appreciation
                Right, shares of Stock (valued at their Fair Market Value at the
                time of
                exercise), in an amount equal in value to the excess of the Fair
                Market
                Value of the shares of Stock subject to the Stock Appreciation Right
                as of
                the date of such exercise over the Fair Market Value of the shares
                of
                Stock as of the Date of Grant of the Stock Appreciation Right. The
                exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right that is granted in tandem
                with an
                Option will result in the surrender of the related Incentive Option
                or
                Nonstatutory Option and, unless otherwise provided by the Board in
                its
                sole discretion, the exercise of an Option granted in tandem with
                a Stock
                Appreciation Right will result in the surrender of the related Stock
                Appreciation Right.

              Expiration
                Date. The "Expiration Date" with respect to a Stock Appreciation
                Right
                shall be determined by the Board, but shall be not later than the
                Expiration Date for any tandem Option. If neither the right nor the
                tandem
                Option is exercised before the end of the day on which the right
                ceases to
                be exercisable, such right shall be deemed exercised as of such date
                and
                payment shall be made to the holder in shares of Stock (valued at
                their
                Fair Market Value at the time of
                exercise).

                shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable in full, including
                that portion of any Award that pursuant to the terms and provisions
                of the
                applicable Award Agreement had not yet become exercisable, earned
                or
                vested (the total number of shares of Stock as to which an Award
                is
                exercisable upon the occurrence of a Change in Control is referred to
                herein as the "Total Shares"). If a Change in Control involves a
                Restructure or occurs in connection with a series of related transactions
                involving a Restructure and if such Restructure is in the form of
                a
                Non-Surviving Event and as a part of such Restructure shares of stock,
                other securities, cash or property shall be issuable or deliverable
                in
                exchange for Stock, then the Holder of an Award shall receive or
                be
                entitled to purchase (in lieu of the Total Shares that the Holder
                would
                otherwise receive or be entitled to purchase) the number of shares
                of

                Total
                Shares would have been entitled in connection with such Restructure
                (and
                at an aggregate Exercise Price equal to the Exercise Price that would
                have
                been payable if that number of Total Shares had been purchased on
                the
                exercise of the Option immediately before the consummation of the
                Restructure).

                at any
                time while there is any outstanding Award hereunder and that Restructure
                does not occur in connection with a Change in Control or in connection

              The
                Corporation shall promptly notify each Holder of any election or
                action
                taken by the Corporation under this Paragraph 9.3. In the event of
                any
                election or action taken by the Corporation pursuant to this Paragraph
                9.3
                that requires the amendment or cancellation of any Award Agreement,
                as may
                be specified in any notice to the Holder thereof, that Holder shall
                promptly deliver that Award Agreement to the Corporation in order
                for that
                amendment or cancellation to be implemented by the Corporation and
                the
                Committee. The failure of the Holder to deliver any such Award Agreement
                to the Corporation as provided in the preceding sentence shall not
                in any
                manner effect the validity or enforceability of any action taken
                by the
                Corporation and the Committee under this Paragraph 9.3, including,
                without
                limitation, any redemption of an Award as of the consummation of
                a
                Restructure. Any cash payment to be made by the Corporation pursuant
                to
                this Paragraph 9.3 in connection with the redemption of any outstanding
                Awards shall be paid to the Holder thereof currently with the delivery
                to
                the Corporation of the Award Agreement evidencing that Award; provided,
                however, that any such redemption shall be effective upon the consummation
                of the Restructure notwithstanding that the payment of the redemption
                price may occur subsequent to the consummation. If all or any portion
                of
                an outstanding Award is to be exercised or vested upon or after the
                consummation of a Restructure that is in the form of a Non-Surviving
                Event
                and as a part of that Restructure shares of stock, other securities,
                cash
                or property shall be issuable or deliverable in exchange for Stock,
                then
                the Holder of the Award shall thereafter be entitled to receive or
                purchase (in lieu of the number of shares of Stock that the Holder
                would
                otherwise be entitled to receive or purchase) the number of shares
                of
                stock, other securities, cash or property to which such number of
                shares
                of Stock would have been entitled in connection with the Restructure
                (and,
                for Options, at an aggregate Exercise Price equal to the Exercise
                Price
                that would have been payable if that number of Total Shares had been
                purchased on the exercise of the Option immediately before the
                consummation of the Restructure).

                all Holders informed with respect to any Change in Control or Restructure
                or of any potential Change in Control or Restructure to the same
                extent

              Termination
                of Employment. If a Holder is an Eligible Individual because the
                Holder is
                an Employee and if that employment relationship is terminated for
                any
                reason other than the Holder's death or Disability (hereafter defined),
                then any and all Awards held by that Holder in the Holder's capacity
                as an
                Employee as of the date of the termination shall become null and
                void as

                by
                that Holder for a period of the lesser of (a) the remainder of the
                term of the Award or (b) ninety (90) days following the date of the
                Holder's termination. Any portion of an Award not exercised upon

                expiration of the periods specified in (a) or (b) shall be null and
                void.

              Other
                Loss of Eligibility. If a Holder is an Eligible Individual because
                the
                Holder is serving in a capacity other than as an Employee and if
                that
                capacity is terminated for any reason other than the Holder's death,
                then

                the term
                of the Award or (b) ninety (90) days following the date the Holder
                ceases
                to serve in such capacity. Any portion of an Award not exercised
                upon the
                expiration of the periods specified in (a) or (b) shall be null and
                void.

              Death.
                Upon (a) the death of a Holder who is an Eligible Individual because
                the
                Holder is an Employee, during the Holder's employment or within ninety
                (90) days following the Holder's retirement described in Paragraph
                10.4
                below, or (b) the death of a Holder who is an Eligible Individual
                because
                the Holder is serving in a capacity other than as an Employee, then
                any and all Awards held by the Holder that are not yet exercisable
                as of
                the date of the Holder's death shall become null and void as of the

                all
                Awards held by the Holder that are exercisable as of the date of
                death
                shall be exercisable by that Holder's legal representatives, legatees
                or
                distributees for a period of the lesser of (a) the remainder of the

                portion of an Award not exercised upon the expiration of the periods
                specified in (a) or (b) shall be null and void. Except as expressly
                provided in this Paragraph 10.3, no Award held by a Holder shall
                be
                exercisable after the death of that

                If a Holder is an Eligible Individual because the Holder is an Employee
                and that employment relationship is terminated by reason of the Holder's
                Normal Retirement, then the portion, if any, of any and all Awards
                held by
                the Holder that are not yet vested or exercisable as of the date
                of that
                retirement shall become null and void as of the date of retirement;
                provided, however, that the portion, if any, of any and all Awards
                held by

                retirement shall be exercisable for a period of the lesser of (a) the
                remainder of the term of the Award or (b) 90 days following the date
                of

              Disability.
                If a Holder is an Eligible Individual because the Holder is an Employee
                and if that employment relationship is terminated by reason of the
                Holder's Disability, then the portion, if any, of any and all Awards
                held
                by the Holder that are not yet vested or exercisable as of the date
                of
                that termination for Disability shall become null and void as of
                the date
                of termination; provided, however, that the portion, if any, of any
                and
                all Awards held by the Holder that are vested and exercisable as
                of the
                date of that termination shall survive the termination for the lesser
                of
                (a) the original term of the Award or (b) one year following the
                date of
                termination, and the Award shall be exercisable by the Holder, his
                guardian, or his legal representative. "Disability" shall have the
                meaning
                given it in the employment agreement of the Holder; provided, however,
                that if that Holder has no employment agreement, "Disability" shall
                mean a
                physical or mental impairment of sufficient severity that, in the
                opinion
                of the Corporation, either the Holder is unable to continue performing
                the
                duties he performed before such impairment or the Holder's condition
                entitles him to disability benefits under any insurance or employee
                benefit plan of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries and that impairment
                or
                condition is cited by the Corporation as the reason for termination
                of the
                Holder's employment.

              Leave
                of Absence. With respect to an Award, the Committee may, in its sole
                discretion, determine that any Holder who is on leave of absence
                for any
                reason will be considered to still be in the employ of the Corporation,
                provided that rights to that Award during a leave of absence will be
                limited to the extent to which those rights were earned or vested

              Transferability
                of Awards. Incentive Options, Stock Units and Performance Share Awards,
                and, during the period of restriction, Restricted Stock awarded under
                the
                Plan are not transferable except as designated by the Participant
                by will
                or by the laws of descent and distribution. Incentive Options may
                be
                exercised during the lifetime of the Holder only by the Holder or
                his
                guardian or legal representative. If provided in the Award agreement,
                Nonstatutory Options and Stock Appreciation Rights may be transferred
                by a
                Holder to Permitted Transferees, and may be exercised either by the
                Holder, his guardian or legal representative and as otherwise permitted
                under the laws of descent and distribution, or by a Permitted
                Transferee.

              Forfeiture
                and Restrictions on Transfer. Each Award Agreement may contain or
                otherwise provide for conditions giving rise to the forfeiture of
                the
                Stock acquired pursuant to an Award or otherwise and may also provide
                for
                those restrictions on the transferability of shares of the Stock
                acquired
                pursuant to an Award or otherwise that the Committee in its sole
                and
                absolute discretion may deem proper or advisable. The conditions
                giving
                rise to forfeiture may include, but need not be limited to, the
                requirement that the Holder render substantial services to the Corporation
                or its Subsidiaries for a specified period of time. The restrictions
                on
                transferability may include, but need not be limited to, options
                and
                rights of first refusal in favor of the Corporation and stockholders
                of
                the Corporation other than the Holder of such shares of Stock who
                is a
                party to the particular Award Agreement or a subsequent holder of
                the
                shares of Stock who is bound by that Award
                Agreement.

              Delivery
                of Certificates of Stock. Subject to Paragraph 10.10, the Corporation
                shall promptly issue and deliver a certificate representing the number
                of
                shares of Stock as to which an Option or Stock Appreciation Right
                has been
                exercised after the Corporation receives an Exercise Notice and upon
                receipt by the Corporation of the Exercise Price, if applicable,
                and any
                tax withholding as may be requested. The value of the shares of Stock
                transferable because of an Award under the Plan shall not bear any
                interest owing to the passage of time, except as may be otherwise
                provided
                in an Award Agreement. If a Holder is entitled to receive certificates
                representing Stock received for more than one form of Option under
                the
                Plan, separate Stock certificates shall be issued with respect to
                Incentive Options and Nonstatutory
                Options.

              Conditions
                to Delivery of Stock. Nothing herein or in any Award granted hereunder
                or
                any Award Agreement shall require the Corporation to issue any shares
                with
                respect to any Award if that issuance would, in the opinion of counsel
                for
                the Corporation, constitute a violation of the Securities Act or
                any
                similar or superseding statute or statutes, any other applicable
                statute
                or regulation, or the rules of any applicable securities exchange
                or
                securities association, as then in effect. At the time of any exercise
                of
                an Option, the Corporation may, as a condition precedent to the exercise
                of such Option, require from the Holder (or in the event of his death,
                his
                legal representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees) such written
                representations, if any, concerning the Holder's intentions with
                regard to
                the retention or disposition of the shares of Stock being acquired
                pursuant to the Option and such written covenants and agreements,
                if any,
                as to the manner of disposal of such shares as, in the opinion of
                counsel
                to the Corporation, may be necessary to ensure that any disposition
                by
                that Holder (or in the event of the Holder's death, his legal
                representatives, heirs, legatees, or distributees), will not involve
                a
                violation of the Securities Act or any similar or superseding statute
                or
                statutes, any other applicable state or federal statute or regulation,
                or

              Rights
                as a Stockholder. A Holder shall have no right as a stockholder with
                respect to any shares covered by his Award until a certificate
                representing those shares is issued in his name. No adjustment shall
                be
                made for dividends (ordinary or extraordinary, whether in cash or
                other
                property) or distributions or other rights for which the record date
                is
                before the date that certificate is issued, except as contemplated
                by
                Section 9. Nevertheless, dividends and dividend equivalent rights
                may be
                extended to and made part of any Award denominated in Stock or units
                of
                Stock, subject to such terms, conditions, and restrictions as the
                Committee may establish. The Committee may also establish rules and
                procedures for the crediting of interest on deferred cash payments
                and
                dividend equivalents for deferred payment denominated in Stock or
                units of
                Stock.

              Payment
                of Taxes. All awards and payments under the Plan are subject to
                withholding of all applicable taxes, which withholding obligations
                may be
                satisfied through the surrender of shares of Stock which the Holder
                already owns, or to which a Holder is otherwise entitled under the
                Plan.
                When a Holder is entitled to receive shares of Stock pursuant to
                the
                exercise of a Stock Appreciation Right or with respect to an award
                of

                the Plan,
                the Corporation shall have the right to require the Holder to pay
                to the
                Corporation the amount of any taxes that it is required to withhold
                with
                respect to such shares, or, in lieu thereof, to retain, or sell without
                notice, a sufficient number of such shares to cover the amount required
                to
                be withheld.

                or
                other requirement imposed upon the Corporation by or under any applicable

                thereof.

              Remedies.
                The Corporation shall be entitled to recover from a Holder reasonable
                attorneys' fees incurred in connection with the enforcement of the
                terms
                and provisions of the Plan and any Award Agreement whether by an
                action to

                otherwise.

              Information
                Confidential. As partial consideration for the granting of each Award
                hereunder, the Holder shall agree with the Corporation that he will
                keep
                confidential all information and knowledge that he has relating to
                the
                manner and amount of his participation in the Plan; provided, however,
                that such information may be disclosed as required by law and may
                be given
                in confidence to the Holder's spouse, tax and financial advisors,
                or to a
                financial institution to the extent that such information is necessary
                to
                secure a loan. In the event any breach of this promise comes to the
                attention of the Committee, it shall take into consideration that
                breach
                in determining whether to recommend the grant of any future Award
                to that
                Holder, as a factor militating against the advisability of granting
                any
                such future Award to that
                individual.

              Consideration.
                No Option shall be exercisable with respect to a Holder unless and
                until
                the Holder shall have paid cash or property to, or performed services
                for,
                the Corporation or any of its Subsidiaries that the Committee believes
                is
                equal to or greater in value than the par value of the Stock subject
                to
                such Award.

              Effectiveness.
                The Plan shall not be effective unless and until it has been approved

                both the Board of Directors and the holders of a majority of the
                shares of
                Stock of the Corporation present or represented by proxy and entitled
                to
                vote at the meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation at which
                the
                Plan is presented for stockholder approval. No Awards may be granted

                years
                from the earlier of (a) the Effective Date and (b) the date the Plan
                is

              Amendment
                and Termination. The Board of Directors may, insofar as permitted
                by law,
                with respect to any shares which, at the time, are not subject to
                Awards,
                suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect
                whatsoever, and may amend any provision of the Plan or any Award
                Agreement
                to make the Plan or the Award Agreement, or both, comply with Section
                16(b) of the Exchange Act and the exemptions from that Section in
                the
                regulations thereunder, or the performance-based compensation exception
                of
                Section 162(m) of the Code. The Board of Directors may also amend,
                modify,
                suspend or terminate the Plan for the purpose of meeting or addressing
                any
                changes in other legal requirements applicable to the Corporation
                or the
                Plan or for any other purpose permitted by law. The Plan may not
                be
                amended without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares
                of
                Stock then outstanding to (a) increase materially the aggregate
                number of shares of Stock that may be issued under the Plan or the
                maximum
                number of shares subject to Options that may be granted to any Eligible
                Individual in any single fiscal year of the Corporation (except for
                adjustments pursuant to Section 9 of the Plan), (b) increase materially
                the benefits accruing to Eligible Individuals under the Plan, or
                (c)
                modify materially the requirements of eligibility for participation
                in the
                Plan; provided, however, that such amendments may be made without
                the
                consent of stockholders of the Corporation if changes occur in law
                or
                other legal requirements (including 16b-3) that would permit

      12.  GENERAL

     

    
      	
              12.1

            	
              Application
                of Funds. The proceeds received by the Corporation from the sale
                of shares
                pursuant to Options may be used for any general corporate
                purpose.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.2

            	
              Right
                of the Corporation and Subsidiaries to Terminate Employment. Nothing
                contained in the Plan, or in any Award Agreement, shall confer upon
                any
                Holder the right to continue in the employ of the Corporation or
                any
                Subsidiary, or interfere in any way with the rights of the Corporation
                or
                any Subsidiary to terminate the Holder's employment at any
                time.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.3

            	
              No
                Liability for Good Faith Determinations. Neither the members of the
                Board
                of Directors nor any member of the Committee shall be liable for
                any act,
                omission, or determination taken or made in good faith with respect
                to the
                Plan or any Award granted under it, and members of the Board of Directors
                and the Committee shall be entitled to indemnification and reimbursement
                by the Corporation in respect of any claim, loss, damage, or expense
                (including attorneys' fees, the costs of settling any suit, provided
                such
                settlement is approved by independent legal counsel selected by the
                Corporation, and amounts paid in satisfaction of a judgment, except
                a
                judgment based on a finding of bad faith) arising therefrom to the
                full
                extent permitted by law and under any directors and officers liability
                or
                similar insurance coverage that may from time to time be in effect.
                This
                right to indemnification shall be in addition to, and not a limitation
                on,
                any other indemnification rights any member of the Board of Directors
                or
                the Committee may have.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.4

            	
              Other
                Benefits. Participation in the Plan shall not preclude the Holder
                from
                eligibility in any other stock or stock option plan of the Corporation
                or
                any Subsidiary or any old age benefit, insurance, pension, profit
                sharing
                retirement, bonus, or other extra compensation plans that the Corporation
                or any Subsidiary has adopted, or may, at any time, adopt for the
                benefit
                of its Employees. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board of
                Directors nor the submission of the Plan to the stockholders of the
                Corporation for approval shall be construed as creating any limitations
                on
                the power of the Board of Directors to adopt such other incentive
                arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, without limitation,
                the
                granting of stock options and the awarding of stock and cash otherwise
                than under the Plan, and such arrangements may be either generally
                applicable or applicable only in specific
                cases.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.5

            	
              Exclusion
                From Pension and Profit-Sharing Compensation. By acceptance of an
                Award
                (whether in Stock or cash), as applicable, each Holder shall be deemed
                to
                have agreed that the Award is special incentive compensation that
                will not
                be taken into account in any manner as salary, compensation or bonus
                in
                determining the amount of any payment under any pension, retirement
                or
                other employee benefit plan of the Corporation or any Subsidiary.
                In
                addition, each beneficiary of a deceased Holder shall be deemed to
                have
                agreed that the Award will not affect the amount of any life insurance
                coverage, if any, provided by the Corporation or a Subsidiary on
                the life
                of the Holder that is payable to the beneficiary under any life insurance
                plan covering employees of the Corporation or any
                Subsidiary.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.6

            	
              Execution
                of Receipts and Releases. Any payment of cash or any issuance or
                transfer
                of shares of Stock to the Holder, or to his legal representative,
                heir,
                legatee, or distributee, in accordance with the provisions hereof,
                shall,
                to the extent thereof, be in full satisfaction of all claims of such
                persons hereunder. The Committee may require any Holder, legal
                representative, heir, legatee, or distributee, as a condition precedent
                to
                such payment, to execute a release and receipt therefor in such form
                as it
                shall determine.

            

    

     

    
      	
              12.7

            	
              Unfunded
                Plan. Insofar as it provides for Awards of cash and Stock, the Plan
                shall
                be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with
                respect
                to Holders who are entitled to cash, Stock or rights thereto under
                the
                Plan, any such accounts shall be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience.
                The Corporation shall not be required to segregate any assets that
                may at
                any time be represented by cash, Stock or rights thereto, nor shall
                the
                Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the
                Corporation nor the Board of Directors nor the Committee be deemed
                to be a
                trustee of any cash, Stock or rights thereto to be granted under
                the Plan.
                Any liability of the Corporation to any Holder with respect to a
                grant of
                cash, Stock or rights thereto under the Plan shall be based solely
                upon
                any contractual obligations that may be created by the Plan and any
                Award
                Agreement; no such obligation of the Corporation shall be deemed
                to be
                secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the
                Corporation. Neither the Corporation nor the Board of Directors nor
                the
                Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the
                performance of any obligation that may be created by the
                Plan.

              No
                Guarantee of Interests. Neither the Committee nor the Corporation
                guarantees the Stock of the Corporation from loss or
                depreciation.

              Payment
                of Expenses. All expenses incident to the administration, termination,
                or
                protection of the Plan, including, but not limited to, legal and
                accounting fees, shall be paid by the Corporation or its Subsidiaries;
                provided, however, the Corporation or a Subsidiary may recover any
                and all damages, fees, expenses, and costs arising out of any actions
                taken by the Corporation to enforce its rights under this
                Plan.

                Records. Records of the Corporation or its Subsidiaries regarding
                the
                Holder's period of employment, termination of employment and the
                reason
                therefor, leaves of absence, re-employment, and other matters shall
                be
                conclusive for all purposes hereunder, unless determined by the Committee
                to be incorrect.

                The Corporation and its Subsidiaries shall, upon request or as may
                be
                specifically required hereunder, furnish or cause to be furnished,
                all of

                the

              Corporation
                Action. Any action required of the Corporation shall be by resolution
                of
                its Board of Directors or by a person authorized to act by resolution
                of

              Severability.
                If any provision of this Plan is held to be illegal or invalid for
                any
                reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining
                provisions hereof, but such provision shall be fully severable and
                the
                Plan shall be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid
                provision had never been included herein. If any of the terms or
                provisions of this Plan conflict with the requirements of Rule 16b-3
                (as
                those terms or provisions are applied to Eligible Individuals who
                are
                subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act) or Section 422 of the
                Code
                (with respect to Incentive Options), then those conflicting terms
                or
                provisions shall be deemed inoperative to the extent they so conflict
                with
                the requirements of Rule 16b-3 or Section 422 of the Code. With respect
                to
                Incentive Options, if this Plan does not contain any provision required
                to
                be included herein under Section 422 of the Code, that provision
                shall be
                deemed to be incorporated herein with the same force and effect as
                if that
                provision had been set out at length herein; provided, further, that,
                to
                the extent any Option that is intended to qualify as an Incentive
                Option
                cannot so qualify, that Option (to that extent) shall be deemed
                a Nonstatutory Option for all purposes of the
                Plan.

              Notices.
                Whenever any notice is required or permitted hereunder, such notice
                must
                be in writing and personally delivered or sent by mail. Any notice
                required or permitted to be delivered hereunder shall be deemed to
                be
                delivered on the date on which it is personally delivered, or, whether
                actually received or not, on the third Business Day after it is deposited
                in the United States mail, certified or registered, postage prepaid,
                addressed to the person who is to receive it at the address which
                such
                person has theretofore specified by written notice delivered in accordance
                herewith. The Corporation or a Holder may change, at any time and
                from
                time to time, by written notice to the other, the address which it
                or he
                had previously specified for receiving notices. Until changed in
                accordance herewith, the Corporation and each Holder shall specify
                as its
                and his address for receiving notices the address set forth in the
                Award
                Agreement pertaining to the shares to which such notice
                relates.

                the
                Corporation, its successors, and assigns, and upon the Committee,

              Governing
                Law. All questions arising with respect to the provisions of the
                Plan
                shall be determined by application of the laws of the State of Texas
                except to the extent Texas law is preempted by federal law. Questions
                arising with respect to the provisions of an Award Agreement that are
                matters of contract law shall be governed by the laws of the state
                specified in the Award Agreement, except to the extent Texas corporate
                law
                conflicts with the contract law of such state, in which event Texas
                corporate law shall govern. The obligation of the Corporation to
                deliver
                or sell Stock hereunder is subject to applicable laws and to the
                approval
                of any governmental authority required in connection with the
                authorization, issuance, sale, or delivery of such
                Stock.

                Usage. Words used in the masculine shall apply to the feminine where

      appointed herein.

     

    All
      Securities of any one Series need not be issued at the same time and may be
      issued from time to time, consistent with the terms of this Indenture, if so
      provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto
      or Officers’ Certificate referred to above, and the authorized principal amount
      of any Series may not be increased to provide for issuances of additional
      Securities of such Series, unless otherwise provided in such Board Resolution,
      supplemental indenture or Officers’ Certificate.

     

    Section
      2.3                                Execution
      and Authentication.

     

    Two
      Officers shall sign the Securities for the Company by manual or facsimile
      signature.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    If
      an
      Officer whose signature is on a Security no longer holds that office at the
      time
      the Security is authenticated, the Security shall nevertheless be
      valid.

     

    A
      Security shall not be valid until authenticated by the manual signature of
      the
      Trustee or an authenticating agent. The signature shall be conclusive evidence
      that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

     

    The
      Trustee shall at any time, and from time to time, authenticate Securities for
      original issue in the principal amount provided in the Board Resolution,
      supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate, upon receipt by the
      Trustee of a Company Order. Such Company Order may authorize authentication
      and
      delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its
      duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly
      confirmed in writing. Each Security shall be dated the date of its
      authentication unless otherwise provided by a Board Resolution, a supplemental
      indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate.

     

    The
      aggregate principal amount of Securities of any Series outstanding at any time
      may not exceed any limit upon the maximum principal amount for such Series
      set
      forth in the Board Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2, except as provided in Section
      2.8.

     

    Prior
      to
      the issuance of Securities of any Series, the Trustee shall have received and
      (subject to Section 7.2) shall be fully protected in relying on: (a) the Board
      Resolution, supplemental indenture hereto or Officers’ Certificate establishing
      the form of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that Series
      and the terms of the Securities of that Series or of Securities within that
      Series, (b) an Officers’ Certificate complying with Section 10.4, and (c) an
      Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 10.4.

     

    The
      Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
      Securities of such Series: (a) if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
      determines that such action may not be taken lawfully; or (b) if the Trustee
      in
      good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee or a
      trust
      committee of directors and/or vice-presidents shall determine that such action
      would expose the Trustee to personal liability to Holders of any then
      outstanding Series of Securities.

     

    The
      Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Company to
      authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities
      whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to
      authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An
      authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Company
      or
      an Affiliate of the Company.

     

    Section
      2.4                                Registrar
      and Paying Agent.

     

    The
      Company shall maintain, with respect to each Series of Securities, at the place
      or places specified with respect to such Series pursuant to Section 2.2, an
      office or agency where Securities of such Series may be presented or surrendered
      for payment (“Paying Agent”), where Securities of such Series may be surrendered
      for registration of transfer or exchange (“Registrar”) and where notices and
      demands to or upon the Company in respect of the

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Securities
      of such Series and this Indenture may be served (“Service Agent”). The Registrar
      shall keep a register with respect to each Series of Securities and to their
      transfer and exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
      Trustee of the name and address, and any change in the name or address, of
      each
      Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent. If at any time the Company shall
      fail
      to maintain any such required Registrar, Paying Agent or Service Agent or shall
      fail to furnish the Trustee with the name and address thereof, such
      presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
      Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
      Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices
      and
      demands.

     

    The
      Company may also from time to time designate one or more co-registrars,
      additional paying agents or additional service agents and may from time to
      time
      rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
      rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to
      maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and Service Agent in each place so specified
      pursuant to Section 2.2 for Securities of any Series for such purposes. The
      Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation
      or rescission and of any change in the name or address of any such co-registrar,
      additional paying agent or additional service agent. The term “Registrar”
includes any co-registrar; the term “Paying Agent” includes any additional
      paying agent; and the term “Service Agent” includes any additional service
      agent.

     

    The
      Company hereby appoints the Trustee the initial Registrar, Paying Agent and
      Service Agent for each Series unless another Registrar, Paying Agent or Service
      Agent, as the case may be, is appointed prior to the time Securities of that
      Series are first issued.

     

    Section
      2.5                                Paying
      Agent to Hold Money in Trust.

     

    The
      Company shall require each Paying Agent other than the Trustee to agree in
      writing that the Paying Agent will hold in trust, for the benefit of
      Securityholders of any Series of Securities, or the Trustee, all money held
      by
      the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest on the Series
      of
      Securities, and will notify the Trustee of any default by the Company in making
      any such payment. While any such default continues, the Trustee may require
      a
      Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. The Company at any
      time
      may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon
      payment over to the Trustee, the Paying Agent (if other than the Company or
      a
      Subsidiary of the Company) shall have no further liability for the money. If
      the
      Company or a Subsidiary of the Company acts as Paying Agent, it shall segregate
      and hold in a separate trust fund for the benefit of Securityholders of any
      Series of Securities all money held by it as Paying Agent.

     

    Section
      2.6                                Securityholder
      Lists.

     

    The
      Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the
      most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Securityholders
      of each Series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with TIA Section 312(a).
      If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee
      at
      least ten days before each interest payment date and at such other times as
      the
      Trustee may request in writing a list, in such form and as of

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    such
      date
      as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
      Securityholders of each Series of Securities.

     

    Section
      2.7                                Transfer
      and Exchange.

     

    Where
      Securities of a Series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with
      a
      request to register a transfer or to exchange them for an equal principal amount
      of Securities of the same Series, the Registrar shall register the transfer
      or
      make the exchange if its requirements for such transactions are met. To permit
      registrations of transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate
      Securities at the Registrar’s request. No service charge shall be made for any
      registration of transfer or exchange (except as otherwise expressly permitted
      herein), but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
      transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection therewith
      (other than any such transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable upon
      exchanges pursuant to Section 2.11, 3.6 or 9.6).

     

    Neither
      the Company nor the Registrar shall be required (a) to issue, register the
      transfer of, or exchange Securities of any Series for the period beginning
      at
      the opening of business fifteen days immediately preceding the mailing of a
      notice of redemption of Securities of that Series selected for redemption and
      ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to register
      the transfer of or exchange Securities of any Series selected, called or being
      called for redemption as a whole or the portion being redeemed of any such
      Securities selected, called or being called for redemption in part.

     

    Section
      2.8                                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 make available for delivery in exchange
      therefor a new Security of the same Series 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 (i) evidence to their
      satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such
      security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them and any
      agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company
      or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
      the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate
      and make available for delivery, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
      Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal
      amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.

     

    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 expenses (including the fees
      and expenses of the Trustee) connected 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, and shall be entitled to all the
      benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other
      Securities of that 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.

     

    Section
      2.9                                Outstanding
      Securities.

     

    The
      Securities outstanding at any time are all the Securities authenticated by
      the
      Trustee except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation,
      those reductions in the interest on a Global Security effected by the Trustee
      in
      accordance with the provisions hereof and those described in this Section as
      not
      outstanding.

     

    If
      a
      Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.8, it ceases to be outstanding until
      the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is
      held
      by a bona fide purchaser.

     

    If
      the
      Paying Agent (other than the Company, a Subsidiary of the Company or an
      Affiliate of the Company) holds on the Maturity of Securities of a Series money
      sufficient to pay such Securities payable on that date, then on and after that
      date such Securities of the Series cease to be outstanding and interest on
      them
      ceases to accrue.

     

    A
      Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Company or an Affiliate
      of
      the Company holds the Security.

     

    In
      determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of outstanding
      Securities have given any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
      consent or waiver hereunder, the principal amount of a Discount Security that
      shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be the amount of
      the
      principal thereof that would be due and payable as of the date of such
      determination upon a declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof
      pursuant to Section 6.2.

     

    Section
      2.10                                Treasury
      Securities.

     

    In
      determining whether the Holders of the required principal amount of Securities
      of a Series have concurred in any request, demand, authorization, direction,
      notice, consent or waiver, Securities of a Series owned by the Company shall
      be
      disregarded, except that for the purposes of determining whether the Trustee
      shall be protected in relying on any such request, demand, authorization,
      direction, notice, consent or waiver, only Securities of a Series that the
      Trustee knows are so owned shall be so disregarded.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Section
      2.11                                Temporary
      Securities.

     

    Until
      definitive Securities are ready for delivery, the Company may prepare and the
      Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities upon a Company Order. Temporary
      Securities shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities but
      may
      have variations that the Company considers appropriate for temporary Securities.
      Without unreasonable delay, the Company shall prepare and the Trustee upon
      request shall authenticate definitive Securities of the same Series and date
      of
      maturity in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, temporary
      securities shall have the same rights under this Indenture as the definitive
      Securities.

     

    Section
      2.12                                Cancellation.

     

    The
      Company at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation.
      The
      Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities
      surrendered to them for registration of transfer, exchange or payment. The
      Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment,
      replacement or cancellation and deliver such canceled Securities to the Company,
      unless the Company otherwise directs; provided that the Trustee shall not be
      required to destroy Securities. The Company may not issue new Securities to
      replace Securities that it has paid or delivered to the Trustee for
      cancellation.

     

    Section
      2.13                                Defaulted
      Interest.

     

    If
      the
      Company defaults in a payment of interest on a Series of Securities, it shall
      pay the defaulted interest, plus, to the extent permitted by law, any interest
      payable on the defaulted interest, to the persons who are Securityholders of
      the
      Series on a subsequent special record date. The Company shall fix the record
      date and payment date. At least 10 days before the record date, the Company
      shall mail to the Trustee and to each Securityholder of the Series a notice
      that
      states the record date, the payment date and the amount of interest to be paid.
      The Company may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

     

    Section
      2.14                                Global
      Securities.

     

    2.14.1                      Terms
      of Securities. A Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto or
      an Officers’ Certificate shall establish whether the Securities of a Series
      shall be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities
      and the Depository for such Global Security or Securities.

     

    2.14.2                      Transfer
      and Exchange. Notwithstanding any provisions to the contrary contained
      in Section 2.7 of the Indenture and in addition thereto, any Global Security
      shall be exchangeable pursuant to Section 2.7 of the Indenture for Securities
      registered in the names of Holders other than the Depository for such Security
      or its nominee only if (i) such Depository notifies the Company that it is
      unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or if
      at
      any time such Depository ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the
      Exchange Act, and, in either case, the Company fails to appoint a successor
      Depository registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act within 90
      days
      of such event, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the Trustee an
      Officers’ Certificate to the effect that such Global Security shall be so
      exchangeable or (iii) an Event of Default with respect to the

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Securities
      represented by such Global Security shall have happened and be continuing.
      Any
      Global Security that is exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall
      be
      exchangeable for Securities registered in such names as the Depository shall
      direct in writing in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount
      of the Global Security with like tenor and terms.

     

    Except
      as
      provided in this Section 2.14.2, a Global Security may not be transferred except
      as a whole by the Depository with respect to such Global Security to a nominee
      of such Depository, by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or
      another nominee of such Depository or by the Depository or any such nominee
      to a
      successor Depository or a nominee of such a successor Depository.

     

    2.14.3                      Legend.
      Any Global Security issued hereunder shall bear a legend in substantially the
      following form:

     

    “This
      Security is a Global Security within the meaning of the Indenture hereinafter
      referred to and is registered in the name of the Depository or a nominee of
      the
      Depository. This Security is exchangeable for Securities registered in the
      name
      of a person other than the Depository or its nominee only in the limited
      circumstances described in the Indenture, and may not be transferred except
      as a
      whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository, by a nominee of the
      Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the
      Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of such
      a
      successor Depository.”

     

    2.14.4                      Acts
      of Holders. The Depository, as a Holder, may appoint agents and
      otherwise authorize participants to give or take any request, demand,
      authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which a Holder
      is entitled to give or take under the Indenture.

     

    2.14.5                      Payments.
      Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise
      specified as contemplated by Section 2.2, payment of the principal of and
      interest, if any, on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder
      thereof.

     

    2.14.6                      Consents,
      Declaration and Directions. Except as provided in Section 2.14.5, the
      Company, the Trustee and any Agent shall treat a person as the Holder of such
      principal amount of outstanding Securities of such Series represented by a
      Global Security as shall be specified in a written statement of the Depository
      with respect to such Global Security, for purposes of obtaining any consents,
      declarations, waivers or directions required to be given by the Holders pursuant
      to this Indenture.

     

    Section
      2.15                                CUSIP
      Numbers.

     

    The
      Company in issuing the Securities may use “CUSIP” numbers (if then generally in
      use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use “CUSIP” numbers in notices of redemption
      as a convenience to Holders; 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 elements of

    REDEMPTION

     

    Section
      3.1                                Notice
      to Trustee.

     

    The
      Company may, with respect to any Series of Securities, reserve the right to
      redeem and pay the Series of Securities or may covenant to redeem and pay the
      Series of Securities or any part thereof prior to the Stated Maturity thereof
      at
      such time and on such terms as provided for in such Securities. If a Series
      of
      Securities is redeemable and the Company wants or is obligated to redeem prior
      to the Stated Maturity thereof all or part of the Series of Securities pursuant
      to the terms of such Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption
      date and the principal amount of Series of Securities to be redeemed. The
      Company shall give the notice at least 45 days before the redemption date (or
      such shorter notice as may be acceptable to the Trustee).

     

    Section
      3.2                                Selection
      of Securities to be Redeemed.

     

    Unless
      otherwise indicated for a particular Series by a Board Resolution, a
      supplemental indenture or an Officers’ Certificate, if less than all the
      Securities of a Series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the
      Securities of the Series to be redeemed in any manner that the Trustee deems
      fair and appropriate. The Trustee shall make the selection from Securities
      of
      the Series outstanding not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may
      select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities of the Series
      that
      have denominations larger than $1,000. Securities of the Series and portions
      of
      them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 or whole multiples of $1,000
      or,
      with respect to Securities of any Series issuable in other denominations
      pursuant to Section 2.2.10, the minimum principal denomination for each Series
      and integral multiples thereof. Provisions of this Indenture that apply to
      Securities of a Series called for redemption also apply to portions of
      Securities of that Series called for redemption.

     

    Section
      3.3                                Notice
      of Redemption.

     

    Unless
      otherwise indicated for a particular Series by Board Resolution, a supplemental
      indenture hereto or an Officers’ Certificate, at least 30 days but not more than
      60 days before a redemption date, the Company shall mail a notice of redemption
      by first-class mail to each Holder whose Securities are to be redeemed and
      if
      any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion a notice in
      an
      Authorized Newspaper.

     

    The
      notice shall identify the Securities of the Series to be redeemed and shall
      state:

     

    (a)           the
      redemption date;

     

    (b)           the
      redemption price;

     

    (c)           the
      name and address of the Paying Agent;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (d)           that
      Securities of the Series called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying
      Agent to collect the redemption price;

     

    (e)           that
      interest on Securities of the Series called for redemption ceases to accrue
      on
      and after the redemption date;

     

    (f)           the
      CUSIP number, if any; and

     

    (g)           any
      other information as may be required by the terms of the particular Series
      or
      the Securities of a Series being redeemed.

     

    At
      the
      Company’s request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the
      Company’s name and at its expense.

     

    Section
      3.4                                Effect
      of Notice of Redemption.

     

    Once
      notice of redemption is mailed or published as provided in Section 3.3,
      Securities of a Series called for redemption become due and payable on the
      redemption date and at the redemption price. A notice of redemption may not
      be
      conditional. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid
      at the redemption price plus accrued interest to the redemption date; provided
      that installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
      redemption date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities (or one
      or
      more predecessor Securities) registered at the close of business on the relevant
      record date therefor according to their terms and the terms of this
      Indenture.

     

    Section
      3.5                                Deposit
      of Redemption Price.

     

    On
      or
      before the redemption date, the Company shall deposit with the Paying Agent
      money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any,
      on
      all Securities to be redeemed on that date.

     

    Section
      3.6                                Securities
      Redeemed in Part.

     

    Upon
      surrender of a Security that is redeemed in part, the Trustee shall authenticate
      for the Holder a new Security of the same Series and the same maturity equal
      in
      principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the Security
      surrendered.

      Company shall deliver to the Trustee within 15 days after it files them with
      the
      SEC copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents, and other
      reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may
      by
      rules and regulations prescribe) which the Company is required to file with
      the
      SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company also shall
      comply with the other provisions of TIA Section 314(a). Delivery of such
      reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational purposes
      only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute constructive notice
      of any information contained therein or determinable from information contained
      therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of its covenants hereunder
      (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely exclusively on an Officers’

      fiscal year of the Company, an Officers’ Certificate stating that a review of
      the activities of the Company and its Subsidiaries during the preceding fiscal
      year has been made under the supervision of the signing Officers with a view
      to
      determining whether the Company has kept, observed, performed and fulfilled
      its
      obligations under this Indenture, and further stating, as to each such Officer
      signing such certificate, that to the best of his/her knowledge the Company
      has
      kept, observed, performed and fulfilled each and every covenant contained in
      this Indenture and is not in default in the performance or observance of any
      of
      the terms, provisions and conditions hereof (or, if a Default or Event of
      Default shall have occurred, describing all such Defaults or Events of Default
      of which he may have knowledge).

     

    The
      Company will, so long as any of the Securities are outstanding, deliver to
      the
      Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default,

      action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect
      thereto.

      at
      any time insist upon, plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
      benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension or usury law wherever enacted,
      now
      or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the
      performance of this Indenture or the Securities and the Company (to the extent
      it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of
      any
      such law and covenants that it will not, by resort to any such law, 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
      has been enacted.

      rights (charter and statutory), licenses and franchises of the Company;
      provided, however, that the Company shall

      Directors shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
      in the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as
      a
      whole and that the loss thereof is not adverse in any material respect to the
      Holders.

    Section
      6.2                                Acceleration
      of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

     

    If
      an
      Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time
      outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of Default referred
      to
      in Section 6.1(e) or (f)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders
      of
      not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
      of
      that Series may declare the principal amount (or, if any Securities of that
      Series are Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may
      be
      specified in the terms of such Securities) of and accrued and unpaid interest,
      if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable
      immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
      by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified
      amount) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due
      and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 6.1(e) or (f) shall
      occur, the principal amount (or specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid
      interest, if any, on all outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become and
      be
      immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part
      of
      the Trustee or any Holder.

     

    At
      any
      time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to any Series has
      been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has
      been
      obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders
      of
      a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series,
      by
      written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
      declaration and its consequences if all Events of Default with respect to
      Securities of that Series, other than the non-payment of the principal and
      interest, if any, of Securities of that Series which have become due solely
      by
      such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
      Section 6.13.

     

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

    The
      Company covenants that if

     

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

     

    (b)           default
      is made in the payment of principal of any Security at the Maturity thereof,
      or

     

    (c)           default
      is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms
      of a Security,

     

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

     

    If
      the
      Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the Trustee,
      in
      its own name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial
      proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute
      such
      proceeding to judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the
      Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys
      adjudged or deemed 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 any Securities of any Series occurs and is
      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.

     

    Section
      6.4                                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 and interest 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 the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
      and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed
      in such judicial proceeding, and

     

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

     

    and
      any
      custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
      similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
      Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee
      shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
      to
      the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
      disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any
      other
      amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.7.

     

    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.

     

    Section
      6.5                                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 of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been
      recovered.

     

    Section
      6.6                                Application
      of Money Collected.

     

    Any
      money
      collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the
      following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of
      the
      distribution of such money on account of principal or interest, upon
      presentation of the Securities 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 7.7; and

     

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

     

    Third:
      To
      the Company.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Section
      6.7                                Limitation
      on Suits.

     

    No
      Holder
      of any Security of any Series 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 has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event
      of Default with respect to the Securities of that Series;

     

    (b)           the
      Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
      of that Series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
      proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee
      hereunder;

     

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

     

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

     

    (e)           no
      direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
      during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount
      of
      the outstanding Securities of that Series;

     

    it
      being
      understood and intended that no one or more 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 such
      Holders.

     

    Section
      6.8                                Unconditional
      Right of Holders to Receive Principal and Interest.

     

    Notwithstanding
      any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have
      the
      right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal
      of and interest, if any, on such Security on the Stated Maturity or Stated
      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.

     

    Section
      6.9                                Restoration
      of Rights and Remedies.

     

    If
      the
      Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
      remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
      abandoned for any reason, or has 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 the Holders shall be restored severally
      and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights
      and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such
      proceeding had been instituted.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Section
      6.10                                Rights
      and Remedies Cumulative.

     

    Except
      as
      otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
      destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in Section 2.8, 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, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent
      assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

     

    Section
      6.11                                Delay
      or Omission Not Waiver.

     

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

     

    Section
      6.12                                Control
      by Holders.

     

    The
      Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of
      any
      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 that

     

    (a)           such
      direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
      Indenture,

     

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

     

    (c)           subject
      to the provisions of Section 6.1, the Trustee shall have the right to decline
      to
      follow any such direction if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible
      Officer of the Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve
      the Trustee in personal liability.

     

    Section
      6.13                                Waiver
      of Past Defaults.

     

    The
      Holders of not less than a majority in 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 (i) in the payment of the principal of or
      interest on any Security of such Series (provided, however, that the Holders
      of
      a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series
      may
      rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment
      default that resulted from such acceleration) or (ii) in respect of a covenant
      or provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent
      of
      the Holder of each outstanding Security of such

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

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

     

    Section
      6.14                                Undertaking
      for Costs.

     

    All
      parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security 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,
      against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and
      good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
      provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the
      Company, to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
      Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
      amount of the outstanding Securities of any Series, or to any suit instituted
      by
      any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest
      on
      any Security on or after the Stated Maturity or Stated Maturities expressed
      in
      such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption
      date).

     

    ARTICLE
      VII.

     

    TRUSTEE

     

    Section
      7.1                                Duties
      of Trustee.

     

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

     

    (b)           Except
      during the continuance of an Event of Default:

     

    (i)           The
      Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this
      Indenture and no others.

     

    (ii)           In
      the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as
      to
      the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed
      therein, upon Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel furnished to the
      Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; however, in the
      case of any such Officers’ Certificates or Opinions of Counsel which by any
      provisions hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee,
      the
      Trustee shall examine such Officers’ Certificates and Opinions of Counsel to
      determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this
      Indenture.

     

    (c)           The
      Trustee may not be relieved from liability for its own negligent action, its
      own
      negligent failure to act or its own willful misconduct, except that:

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (i)           This
      paragraph does not limit the effect of paragraph (b) of this
      Section.

     

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

     

    (iii)           The
      Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or
      omitted to be taken by it with respect to Securities of any Series in good
      faith
      in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal
      amount of the outstanding Securities of such Series 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.

     

    (d)           Every
      provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject
      to
      paragraph (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

     

    (e)           The
      Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power at the
      request or direction of any Holder unless it receives indemnity satisfactory
      to
      it against any loss, liability or expense.

     

    (f)           The
      Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except
      as
      the Trustee may agree in writing with the Company. Money held in trust by the
      Trustee need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required
      by
      law.

     

    (g)           No
      provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to risk its own funds
      or
      otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties,
      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 is not reasonably assured to it.

     

    (h)           The
      Paying Agent, the Registrar and any authenticating agent shall be entitled
      to
      the protections, immunities and standard of care as are set forth in paragraphs
      (a), (b) and (c) of this Section with respect to the Trustee.

     

    Section
      7.2                                Rights
      of Trustee.

     

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

     

    (b)           Before
      the Trustee acts or refrains from acting, it may require an Officers’
Certificate. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits
      to
      take in good faith in reliance on such Officers’ Certificate.

     

    (c)           The
      Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct
      or negligence of any agent appointed with due care. No Depository shall be
      deemed an agent of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not be responsible for
      any
      act or omission by any Depository.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (d)           The
      Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good
      faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers,
      provided that the Trustee’s conduct does not constitute negligence or bad
      faith.

     

    (e)           The
      Trustee may consult with counsel and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion
      of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect
      of
      any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder without negligence and
      in
      good faith and in reliance thereon.

     

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

     

    (g)           The
      Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel
      or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
      protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder
      without negligence and in good faith and in reliance thereon.

     

    (h)           The
      Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
      stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
      notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
      evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
      discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts
      or
      matters as it may see fit.

     

    (i)           The
      Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice of any Default or Event of Default
      unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or
      unless written notice of any event which is in fact such a default is received
      by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice
      references the Securities generally or the Securities of a particular Series
      and
      this Indenture.

     

    Section
      7.3                                Individual
      Rights of Trustee.

     

    The
      Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
      of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Company or an Affiliate of the
      Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent
      may
      do the same with like rights. The Trustee is also subject to Sections 7.10
      and
      7.11.

     

    Section
      7.4                                Trustee’s
      Disclaimer.

     

    The
      Trustee makes no representation as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture
      or the Securities, it shall not be accountable for the Company’s use of the
      proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement
      in the Securities other than its authentication.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Section
      7.5                                Notice
      of Defaults.

     

    If
      a
      Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the
      Securities of any Series and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the
      Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Securityholder of the Securities of
      that
      Series and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish on one occasion
      in
      an Authorized Newspaper, notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90
      days
      after it occurs or, if later, after a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has
      knowledge of such Default or Event of Default. Except in the case of a Default
      or Event of Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Security
      of
      any Series, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as its corporate
      trust committee or a committee of its Responsible Officers in good faith
      determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of Securityholders
      of
      that Series.

     

    Section
      7.6                                Reports
      by Trustee to Holders.

     

    Within
      60
      days after May 15 in each year, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all
      Securityholders, as their names and addresses appear on the register kept by
      the
      Registrar and, if any Bearer Securities are outstanding, publish in an
      Authorized Newspaper, a brief report dated as of such May 15, in accordance
      with, and to the extent required under, TIA Section 313.

     

    A
      copy of
      each report at the time of its mailing to Securityholders of any Series shall
      be
      filed with the SEC and each stock exchange on which the Securities of that
      Series are listed. The Company shall promptly notify the Trustee when Securities
      of any Series are listed on any stock exchange.

     

    Section
      7.7                                Compensation
      and Indemnity.

     

    The
      Company shall pay to the Trustee from time to time compensation for its services
      as the Company and the Trustee shall from time to time agree upon in writing.
      The Trustee’s compensation shall not be limited by any law on compensation of a
      trustee of an express trust. The Company shall reimburse the Trustee upon
      request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses
      shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee’s agents
      and counsel.

     

    The
      Company shall indemnify each of the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee
      (including the cost of defending itself) against any loss, liability or expense,
      including taxes (other than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by
      the
      income of the Trustee) incurred by it except as set forth in the next paragraph
      in the performance of its duties under this Indenture as Trustee or Agent.
      The
      Trustee shall notify the Company promptly of any claim for which it may seek
      indemnity. The Company shall defend the claim and the Trustee shall cooperate
      in
      the defense. The Trustee may have one separate counsel and the Company shall
      pay
      the reasonable fees and expenses of such counsel. The Company need not pay
      for
      any settlement made without its consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
      withheld. This indemnification shall apply to officers, directors, employees,
      shareholders and agents of the Trustee.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    The
      Company need not reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss or
      liability incurred by the Trustee or by any officer, director, employee,
      shareholder or agent of the Trustee through negligence or bad
      faith.

     

    To
      secure
      the Company’s payment obligations in this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien
      prior to the Securities of any Series on all money or property held or collected
      by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal of and interest
      on
      particular Securities of that Series.

     

    When
      the
      Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified
      in Section 6.1(e) or (f) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the
      services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any
      Bankruptcy Law.

     

    The
      provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
      Indenture.

     

    Section
      7.8                                Replacement
      of Trustee.

     

    A
      resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor Trustee
      shall become effective only upon the successor Trustee’s acceptance of
      appointment as provided in this Section.

     

    The
      Trustee may resign with respect to the Securities of one or more Series by
      so
      notifying the Company at least 30 days prior to the date of the proposed
      resignation. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities
      of
      any Series may remove the Trustee with respect to that Series by so notifying
      the Trustee and the Company. The Company may remove the Trustee with respect
      to
      Securities of one or more Series if:

     

    (a)           the
      Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;

     

    (b)           the
      Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent or an order for relief is entered
      with respect to the Trustee under any Bankruptcy Law;

     

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

     

    (d)           the
      Trustee becomes incapable of acting.

     

    If
      the
      Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of Trustee
      for any reason, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee. Within
      one year after the successor Trustee takes office, the Holders of a majority
      in
      principal amount of the then outstanding Securities may appoint a successor
      Trustee to replace the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

     

    If
      a
      successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any one or more Series
      does
      not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed,
      the retiring Trustee, the Company or the Holders of at least a majority in
      principal amount of the Securities of the applicable Series may petition any
      court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
      Trustee.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    A
      successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to
      the
      retiring Trustee and to the Company. Immediately after that, the retiring
      Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee to the successor
      Trustee subject to the lien provided for in Section 7.7, the resignation or
      removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective, and the successor
      Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee with respect
      to each Series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee under this
      Indenture. A successor Trustee shall mail a notice of its succession to each
      Securityholder of each such Series and, if any Bearer Securities are
      outstanding, publish such notice on one occasion in an Authorized Newspaper.
      Notwithstanding replacement of the Trustee pursuant to this Section 7.8, the
      Company’s obligations under Section 7.7 hereof shall continue for the benefit of
      the retiring Trustee with respect to expenses and liabilities incurred by it
      prior to such replacement.

     

    Section
      7.9                                Successor
      Trustee by Merger, etc.

     

    If
      the
      Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
      substantially all of its corporate trust business to, another corporation,
      the
      successor corporation without any further act shall be the successor
      Trustee.

     

    Section
      7.10                                Eligibility;
      Disqualification.

     

    This
      Indenture shall always have a Trustee who satisfies the requirements of TIA
      Section 310(a)(1), (2) and (5). The Trustee shall always have a combined capital
      and surplus of at least $25,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published
      annual report of condition. The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section
      310(b).

     

    Section
      7.11                                Preferential
      Collection of Claims Against Company.

     

    The
      Trustee is subject to TIA Section 311(a), excluding any creditor relationship
      listed in TIA Section 311(b). A Trustee who has resigned or been removed shall
      be subject to TIA Section 311(a) to the extent indicated.

    This
      Indenture shall upon Company Order cease to be of further effect (except as
      hereinafter provided in this Section 8.1), and the Trustee, at the expense
      of
      the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
      discharge of this Indenture, when

    (i)           all
      Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Securities that
      have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that have been replaced or paid) have
      been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or

     

    (ii)           all
      such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
      cancellation

    
      
        
        

      

      
        
        

      

      
        
        

      

    

    (1)           have
      become due and payable, or

     

    (2)           will

    and
      the
      Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee
      as
      trust funds in trust an amount sufficient for the purpose of paying and
      discharging the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered
      to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the date of
      such
      deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable on or
      prior
      to the date of such deposit) or to the Stated Maturity or redemption date,
      as
      the case may be;

     

    (b)           the
      Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
      Company; and

     

    (c)           the
      Company has delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
      Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
      to the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied
      with.

     

    Notwithstanding
      the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Company
      to the Trustee under Section 7.7, and, if money shall have been deposited with
      the Trustee pursuant to clause (a) of this Section, the provisions of Sections
      2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 8.1, 8.2 and 8.5 shall survive.

     

    Section
      8.2                                Application
      of Trust Funds; Indemnification.

     

    (a)           Subject
      to the provisions of Section 8.5, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant
      to Section 8.1, all money and U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
      Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 and all
      money received by the Trustee in respect of U.S. Government Obligations or
      Foreign Government Obligations deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section
      8.3 or 8.4, shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
      provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly
      or through any Paying Agent (other than the Company acting as its own Paying
      Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the persons entitled thereto, of the
      principal and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with
      or
      received by the Trustee or to make mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous
      payments as contemplated by Section 8.3 or 8.4.

     

    (b)           The
      Company shall pay and shall indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
      charge imposed on or assessed against U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
      Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 8.3 or 8.4 or the interest
      and principal received in respect of such obligations other than any payable
      by
      or on behalf of Holders.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (c)           The
      Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
      Request any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government Obligations or

      a
      nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants expressed
      in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are then in excess
      of the amount thereof which then would have been required to be deposited for
      the purpose for which such U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign Government
      Obligations or money were deposited or received. This provision shall not
      authorize the sale by the Trustee of any U.S. Government Obligations or Foreign
      Government Obligations held under this Indenture.

     

    Section
      8.3                                Legal
      Defeasance of Securities of any Series.

     

    Unless
      this Section 8.3 is otherwise specified, pursuant to Section 2.2.20, to be
      inapplicable to Securities of any Series, the Company shall be deemed to have
      paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the outstanding Securities
      of

      to the Securities of such Series on the day on which such payments are due
      and
      payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and the Securities of
      such Series;

     

    (b)           the
      provisions of Sections 2.4, 2.7, 2.8, 8.2, 8.3, and 8.5; and

    provided
      that, the following conditions shall have been satisfied:

     

    (d)           the
      Company shall have deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited (except

      denominated in a Foreign Currency (other than a composite currency), money
      and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which through the payment of interest
      and
      principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms, will provide (and
      without reinvestment and assuming no tax liability will be imposed on such
      Trustee), not later than one day before the due date of any payment of money,
      an
      amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
      of
      independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
      delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge each installment of principal
      of
      and interest, if any, on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect
      of
      all the Securities of such Series on the dates such installments of interest
      or
      principal and such sinking fund payments are due;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (e)           such
      deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
      under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
      is a party or by which it is bound;

     

    (f)           no
      Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall
      have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
      ending on the 91st day after such date;

     

    (g)           the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the Company has received from, or

      since the date of execution of this Indenture, there has been a change in the
      applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based
      thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of the
      Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain or loss for Federal
      income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, defeasance and discharge and
      will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner
      and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit, defeasance
      and discharge had not occurred;

     

    (h)           the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate stating
      that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring
      the
      Holders of the Securities of such Series over any other creditors of the Company
      or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding any other
      creditors of the Company; and

     

    (i)           the
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
      Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent provided for
      relating to the defeasance contemplated by this Section have been complied

    Section
      8.4                                Covenant
      Defeasance.

     

    Unless
      this Section 8.4 is otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.2.20 to be
      inapplicable to Securities of any Series, on and after the 91st day after the
      date of the deposit referred to in subparagraph (a) hereof, the Company may
      omit
      to comply with respect to the Securities of any Series with any term, provision
      or condition set forth under Sections 4.2, 4.3, 4.4, 4.6, and 5.1 as well as
      any
      additional covenants specified in a supplemental indenture for such Series
      of
      Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant
      to Section 2.2.20 (and the failure to comply with any such covenants shall
      not
      constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to such Series under
      Section 6.1) and the occurrence of any event specified in a supplemental
      indenture for such Series of Securities or a Board Resolution or an Officers’
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2.18 and designated as an Event
      of
      Default shall not constitute a Default or Event of Default hereunder, with
      respect to the Securities of such Series, provided that the following conditions
      shall have been satisfied:

     

    (a)           With
      reference to this Section 8.4, the Company has deposited or caused to be
      irrevocably deposited (except as provided in Section 8.2(c)) with the Trustee
      as
      trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments
      specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit
      of
      the Holders of such Securities (i) in the case of Securities of such Series
      denominated in Dollars, cash in Dollars and/or U.S. Government Obligations,
      or

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (ii) in
      the case of Securities of such Series denominated in a Foreign Currency (other
      than a composite currency), money and/or Foreign Government Obligations, which
      through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance
      with their terms, will provide (and without reinvestment and assuming no tax
      liability will be imposed on such Trustee), not later than one day before the
      due date of any payment of money, an amount in cash, sufficient, in the opinion
      of a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants
      expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
      and discharge each installment of principal of and interest, if any, on and
      any
      mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the Securities of such Series
      on
      the dates such installments of interest or principal and such sinking fund
      payments are due;

     

    (b)           Such
      deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default
      under, this Indenture or any other agreement or instrument to which the Company
      is a party or by which it is bound;

     

    (c)           No
      Default or Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such Series shall
      have occurred and be continuing on the date of such deposit or during the period
      ending on the 91st day after such date;

     

    (d)           The
      Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
      that Holders of the Securities of such Series will not recognize income, gain
      or
      loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and covenant
      defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in
      the
      same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such deposit
      and covenant defeasance had not occurred; and

     

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

     

    Section
      8.5                                Repayment
      to Company.

     

    The
      Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay to the Company upon request any money
      held by them for the payment of principal and interest that remains unclaimed
      for two years. After that, Securityholders entitled to the money must look
      to
      the Company for payment as general creditors unless an applicable abandoned
      property law designates another person.

    Section
      9.1                                Without
      Consent of Holders.

     

    The
      Company and the Trustee may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities
      of one or more Series without the consent of any Securityholder:

     

    (a)           to
      cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

     

    (b)           to
      comply with Article V;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

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

     

    (d)           to
      make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any
      Securityholder;

     

    (e)           to
      provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions
      of
      Securities of any Series as permitted by this Indenture;

     

    (f)           to
      evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor
      Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more Series and to add to
      or
      change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide
      for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one
      Trustee; or

     

    (g)           to
      comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the
      qualification of this Indenture under the TIA.

     

    Section
      9.2                                With
      Consent of Holders.

     

    The
      Company and the Trustee may enter into a supplemental indenture with the written
      consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
      outstanding Securities of each Series affected by such supplemental indenture
      (including consents obtained in connection with a tender offer or exchange
      offer
      for the Securities of such Series), for the purpose of adding any provisions
      to
      or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Indenture
      or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of
      the
      Securityholders of each such Series. Except as provided in Section 6.13, the
      Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities
      of any Series by notice to the Trustee (including consents obtained in
      connection with a tender offer or exchange offer for the Securities of such
      Series) may waive compliance by the Company with any provision of this Indenture
      or the Securities with respect to such Series.

     

    It
      shall
      not be necessary for the consent of the Holders of Securities under this Section
      9.2 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or
      waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
      thereof. After a supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes
      effective, the Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby
      and, if any Bearer Securities affected thereby are outstanding, publish on
      one
      occasion in an Authorized Newspaper, a notice briefly describing the
      supplemental indenture or waiver. Any failure by the Company to mail or publish
      such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
      affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture or waiver.

     

    Section
      9.3                                Limitations.

     

    Without
      the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment or waiver may
      not:

     

    (a)           reduce
      the amount of Securities whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement
      or waiver;

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (b)           reduce
      the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default
      interest) on any Security;

     

    (c)           reduce
      the principal or change the Stated Maturity of any Security or reduce the amount
      of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous
      obligation;

     

    (d)           reduce
      the principal amount of Discount Securities payable upon acceleration of the
      maturity thereof;

     

    (e)           waive
      a Default or Event of Default in the payment of the principal of or interest,
      if
      any, on any Security (except a rescission of acceleration of the Securities
      of
      any Series by the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
      outstanding Securities of such Series and a waiver of the payment default that
      resulted from such acceleration);

     

    (f)           make
      the principal of or interest, if any, on any Security payable in any currency
      other than that stated in the Security;

     

    (g)           make
      any change in Section 6.8, 6.13, or 9.3 (this sentence); or

     

    (h)           waive
      a redemption payment with respect to any Security.

     

    Section
      9.4                                Compliance
      with Trust Indenture Act.

     

    Every
      amendment to this Indenture or the Securities of one or more Series shall be
      set
      forth in a supplemental indenture hereto that complies with the TIA as then
      in
      effect.

     

    Section
      9.5                                Revocation
      and Effect of Consents.

     

    Until
      an
      amendment is set forth in a supplemental indenture or a waiver becomes
      effective, a consent to it by a Holder of a Security is a continuing consent
      by
      the Holder and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security
      that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security, even if
      notation of the consent is not made on any Security. However, any such Holder
      or
      subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of a
      Security if the Trustee receives the notice of revocation before the date of
      the
      supplemental indenture or the date the waiver becomes effective.

     

    Any
      amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Securityholder of each
      Series affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described
      in any of clauses (a) through (h) of Section 9.3. In that case, the amendment
      or
      waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every
      subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the
      same
      debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.

     

    Section
      9.6                                Notation
      on or Exchange of Securities.

     

    The
      Trustee may place an appropriate notation about an amendment or waiver on any
      Security of any Series thereafter authenticated. The Company in exchange for
      Securities of

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    that
      Series may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate upon request new Securities
      of that Series that reflect the amendment or waiver.

     

    Section
      9.7                                Trustee
      Protected.

     

    In
      executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
      indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the trusts
      created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
      (subject to Section 7.1) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
      of
      Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized
      or permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee shall sign all supplemental
      indentures, except that the Trustee need not sign any supplemental indenture
      that adversely affects its rights.

      to
      TIA Section 314(a)(4)) shall comply with the provisions of TIA Section 314(e)
      and shall include:

      have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Securities
      or
      the Indenture or for any claim based on, in respect of or by reason of such

      waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of
      the
      consideration for the issue of the Securities.

    Section
      10.15                                Securities
      in a Foreign Currency or in ECU.

     

    Unless
      otherwise specified in a Board Resolution, a supplemental indenture hereto
      or an
      Officers’ Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Indenture with
      respect to a particular Series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this
      Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage
      in
      aggregate principal amount of Securities of all Series or all Series affected
      by
      a particular action at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are
      outstanding Securities of any Series which are denominated in a coin or currency
      other than Dollars (including ECUs), then the principal amount of Securities
      of
      such Series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking
      such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such
      amount at the Market Exchange Rate at such time. For purposes of this Section
      10.15, “Market Exchange Rate” shall mean the noon Dollar buying rate in New York
      City for cable transfers of that currency as published by the Federal Reserve
      Bank of New York; provided, however, in the case of ECUs, Market Exchange Rate
      shall mean the rate of exchange determined by the Commission of the European
      Union (or any successor thereto) as published in the Official Journal of the
      European Union (such publication or any successor publication, the “Journal”).
      If such Market Exchange Rate is not available for any reason with respect to
      such currency, the Trustee shall use, in its sole discretion and without
      liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
      or, in the case of ECUs, the rate of exchange as published in the Journal,
      as of
      the most recent available date, or quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates
      of
      exchange from one or more major banks in The City of New York or in the country
      of issue of the currency in question or, in the case of ECUs, in Luxembourg
      or
      such other quotations or, in the case of ECUs, rates of exchange as the Trustee,
      upon consultation with the Company, shall deem appropriate. The provisions
      of
      this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent principal amount in
      respect of Securities of a Series denominated in currency other than Dollars
      in
      connection with any action taken by Holders of Securities pursuant to the terms
      of this Indenture.

     

    All
      decisions and determinations of the Trustee regarding the Market Exchange Rate
      or any alternative determination provided for in the preceding paragraph shall
      be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, to the
      extent permitted by law, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding
      upon the Company and all Holders.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    Section
      10.16                                Judgment
      Currency.

     

    The
      Company agrees, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so under
      applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court
      it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of or
      interest or other amount on the Securities of any Series (the “Required
      Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
      Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance
      with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
      York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the day on which final
      unappealable judgment is entered, unless such day is not a New York Banking
      Day,
      then the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance with
      normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New York
      the
      Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day
      preceding the day on which final unappealable judgment is entered and (b) its
      obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency
      (i)
      shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, any recovery pursuant to
      any
      judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any
      currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender
      or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount
      of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments,
      (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for
      the purpose of recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which
      such actual receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency
      so expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
      obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
      foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
      legal holiday in The City of New York on which banking institutions are
      authorized or required by law, regulation or executive order to
      close.

     

    ARTICLE
      XI.

     

    SINKING
      FUNDS

     

    Section
      11.1                                Applicability
      of Article.

     

    The
      provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
      retirement of the Securities of a Series, except as otherwise permitted or
      required by any form of Security of such Series issued pursuant to this
      Indenture.

     

    The
      minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the
      Securities of any Series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund
      payment” and any other amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such
      Series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment.” If provided
      for by the terms of Securities of any Series, the cash amount of any sinking
      fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 11.2. Each
      sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
      Series as provided for by the terms of the Securities of such
      Series.

     

    Section
      11.2                                Satisfaction
      of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

     

    The
      Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment
      with
      respect to the Securities of any Series to be made pursuant to the terms of
      such
      Securities

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

    (1)
      deliver outstanding Securities of such Series to which such sinking fund payment
      is applicable (other than any of such Securities previously called for mandatory
      sinking fund redemption) and (2) apply as credit Securities of such Series
      to
      which such sinking fund payment is applicable and which have been repurchased
      by
      the Company or redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the
      terms of such Series of Securities (except pursuant to any mandatory sinking
      fund) or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments
      or
      other optional redemptions pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided
      that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities
      shall
      be received by the Trustee, together with an Officers’ Certificate with respect
      thereto, not later than 15 days prior to the date on which the Trustee begins
      the process of selecting Securities for redemption, and shall be credited for
      such purpose by the Trustee at the price specified in such Securities for
      redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking
      fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or
      credit of Securities in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 11.2,
      the
      principal amount of Securities of such Series to be redeemed in order to exhaust
      the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee need not
      call Securities of such Series for redemption, except upon receipt of a Company
      Order that such action be taken, and such cash payment shall be held by the
      Trustee or a Paying Agent and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund
      payment, provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall from
      time to time upon receipt of a Company Order pay over and deliver to the Company
      any cash payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery
      by the Company to the Trustee of Securities of that Series purchased by the
      Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment required
      to
      be released to the Company.

     

    Section
      11.3                                Redemption
      of Securities for Sinking Fund.

     

    Not
      less
      than 45 days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, supplemental
      indenture or Officers’ Certificate in respect of a particular Series of
      Securities) prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Series of
      Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
      specifying the amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for
      that Series pursuant to the terms of that Series, the portion thereof, if any,
      which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any,
      which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that
      Series pursuant to Section 11.2, and the optional amount, if any, to be added
      in
      cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, and the Company shall
      thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 30
      days (unless otherwise indicated in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate
      or supplemental indenture in respect of a particular Series of Securities)
      before each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the
      Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner
      specified in Section 3.2 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
      in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
      Section 3.3. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
      Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections
      3.4, 3.5 and 3.6.

      
        
          
          

        

        
          
          

          
          

        

        
          
          

        

      

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