      Upon any
application or request by the Company to the Trustee to take any action under
any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee such
certificates and opinions as may be required under the Trust Indenture Act. Each

or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

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

or opinion or representations with respect to such matters are
erroneous.

       

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

instrument.

       

       

      SECTION
1.04 Acts of Holders; Record
Dates.

       

      (a)     Any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in
and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed
by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when
such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is
hereby expressly required, to the Company. If any Securities are denominated in
a currency other than that of the United States, then for the purposes of
determining whether the Holders of the requisite principal amount of Securities
have taken any action with respect to the Securities of more than one series as
herein described, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to be
that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for such principal
amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United States dollars for
the currency in which such Securities are denominated (as evidenced to the
Trustee by an Officers’ Certificate) as of the date the taking of such action by
the Holders of such requisite principal amount is evidenced to the Trustee as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments.
Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such
agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the
manner provided in this Section.

       

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

       

      (c)           The
Company may fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or
permitted to be given or taken by Holders. If not set by the Company prior to
the first solicitation of a Holder made by any Person in respect of any such
action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date
for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the
most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 7.01)
prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any
record date, only the Holders on such date (or their duly designated proxies)
shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action.

       

      (d)           The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
1.05 Notices, Etc., to Trustee
and Company.

       

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

       

      (i)           the
Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee
at 60 Wall Street, New York, NY 10005, with a copy to __________________,
or

       

      (ii)           the
Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of
its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at
any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company,
Attention: Office of the Chief Legal Officer.

       

       

      SECTION
1.06 Notice to Holders;
Waiver.

       

      Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event,
at his address as it appears in the Security Register not later than the latest
date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any), prescribed for
the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed,
to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with
respect to other Holders. If a notice or communication is mailed or published in
the manner provided for above, within the time prescribed, it is duly given,
whether or not the Holder receives it.

       

      Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in
writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after
the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of
notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be
a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.

       

      In case
by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute
a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

       

       

      SECTION
1.07 Conflict with Trust
Indenture Act.

       

      If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this
Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may
be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to
this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may
be.

director, officer, employee or stockholder, as such, of the Company shall not
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
obligations or their creation. Each Securityholder by accepting a Security
waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the
consideration for the issue of the Securities.

       

       

      SECTION
1.11 Separability
Clause.

       

      In case
any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal
or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

      SECTION
1.13 Governing
Laws.

       

      THE INTERNAL LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW

      SECTION
1.14 Legal
Holidays.

       

      In any
case where any Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity of any Security shall
not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or
principal need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be
made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or at the Stated
Maturity, provided that
no interest shall accrue with respect to such payment for the period from and
after such Interest Payment Date or Stated Maturity or, as the case may

      The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief
Financial Officer, its Chief Legal Officer or one of its Vice Presidents,
attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

       

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

       

      At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the
Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication
and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the form or terms of
the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more
Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 3.01, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Section 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel stating:

       

      (a) if the
form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution
as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;

       

      (b) if the
terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board
Resolution as permitted by Section 3.01, that such terms have been established
in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and

       

      (c) that such
Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the
Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of
Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting
the enforcement of creditors’ rights and to general equity
principles.

       

      Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.01 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities
of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be
necessary to deliver the Officers’ Certificate otherwise required pursuant to
Section 3.01 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required
pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication
of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to
the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such
series to be issued.

       

      Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

       

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

       

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing and subject, in the case of a Security in permanent global form,
to Section 2.02, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section
3.10 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 1.02
and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) directing such
cancellation and stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by
the Company, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed
never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

       

       

      SECTION
3.04 Temporary
Securities.

       

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

       

      If
temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive
Securities of that series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities of such series, the temporary Securities of
such series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities of such series upon
surrender of the temporary Securities of such series at the office or agency of
the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, without charge to the Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities of any
series the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver
in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same series and of like tenor of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged
the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such
series.

       

       

      SECTION
3.05 Registration; Registration
of Transfer and Exchange.

       

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

       

      Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at an
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
the same series of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
principal amount and tenor.

       

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

       

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

       

      Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing. As a condition to the registration of
transfer of any Restricted Securities, the Company or the Trustee may require
evidence satisfactory to them as to the compliance with the restrictions set
forth in the legend on such securities.

       

      No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of
Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 3.04, 9.06 or 11.07 not involving any transfer.

       

      The
Company shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of any Security
of a series (i) during the 15-day period immediately preceding the mailing of
any notice of redemption of any Security of that series, or (ii) after any
notice of redemption has been given to Holders of Securities of that series,
except, where such notice provides that such Security is to be redeemed only in
part, the Company shall be required to exchange or register a transfer of the
portion thereof not to be redeemed.

       

      (b)           Neither
the Trustee nor any of its agents shall (i) have any duty to monitor compliance
with or with respect to any federal or state or other securities or tax laws or
(ii) have any duty to obtain documentation on any transfers or exchanges other
than as specifically required hereunder.

       

       

      SECTION
3.06 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
and Stolen Securities.

       

      If any
mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security
of the same series and 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 protected purchaser,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in
lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same
series and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing an identification
number not contemporaneously outstanding.

       

      In case
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, or has been called for redemption in full, 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 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
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
3.07 Payment of Interest;
Interest Rights Preserved.

       

      Unless
otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 3.01 with respect to any series of
Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered
at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such
interest.

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
3.08 Persons Deemed
Owners.

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
3.09 Book-entry Provisions for
Global Securities.

       

      (a)     The Global
Securities initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the Depositary or
the nominee of such Depositary, (ii) be delivered to the Trustee as custodian
for the Depositary and (iii) bear legends as set forth on the face of the form
of Security in Section 2.02.

       

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

       

      (b)           Transfers
of the Global Securities shall be limited to transfers in whole, but not in
part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Interests
of beneficial owners in a Global Security may be transferred or exchanged, in
whole or in part, for Physical Securities in accordance with the rules and
procedures of the Depositary. In addition, Physical Securities shall be
transferred to all beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests
in the Global Securities if (A) such Depositary has notified the Company (or the
Company becomes aware) that the Depositary (i) is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act when the Depositary is
required to be so registered to act as such Depositary and, in both such cases,
no successor Depositary shall have been appointed within 90 days of such
notification or of the Company becoming aware of such event, (B) there shall
have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global
Security and the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have become due and
payable pursuant to Section 5.02 and the Trustee has requested that Physical
Securities be issued or (C) the Company has decided to discontinue use of
book-entry transfers through the Depositary (or a successor
Depositary).

       

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

       

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

       

      (e)           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 a Depositary or a nominee thereof.
This Security may not be exchanged in whole or in part for a security
registered, and no transfer of this security in whole or in part may be
registered, in the name of any person other than such Depositary or a nominee
thereof, except in the limited circumstances described in the
Indenture.”

       

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

       

      (g)           Notwithstanding
the other provisions of this Indenture, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 3.01, payment of the principal of and interest, if any,
on any Global Security shall be made to the Holder thereof.

       

      (h)           Except
as provided in Section 3.09(g), 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 Depositary 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
3.10 Cancellation.

       

      The
Company at any time may deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities
previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have
acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company
has not issued and sold. The Trustee shall cancel all Securities surrendered for
registration of transfer, exchange, payment, redemption or cancellation and
shall dispose of such cancelled Securities, all in accordance with its customary
practices. If the Company shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition
shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the same are delivered to the
Trustee for cancellation. The Company may not issue new Securities to replace
Securities it has paid in full or delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation.

       

       

      SECTION
3.11 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 or an
Affiliate of 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
3.12 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
identification printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be
affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.

       

       

      SECTION
3.13 Holder
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 Holders of each
series of Securities and shall otherwise comply with Trust Indenture Act. 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 Holders of each
series of Securities.

       

       

      SECTION
3.14 Computation of
Interest.

       

      Except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of any
series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

AND DISCHARGE

       

      SECTION
4.01 Satisfaction and Discharge
of Indenture.

       

      This
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights
of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture, when

       

      (a) either

       

      (i) all
Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (A) Securities
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 3.06 and (B) Securities for whose payment money has  theretofore
been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and
thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 10.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation;
or

       

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

       

      (A) have
become due and payable, or

       

      (B) will
become due and payable at their Stated Maturity within one year, or

       

      (C) will be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and
at the expense, of the Company,

       

      and the
Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose an amount
sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness evidenced by 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) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date,
as the case may be;

       

      (b) no
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such
deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing
of funds to be applied to such deposit) and the deposit will not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any other instrument to
which the Company or any guarantor, as applicable, of such Securities is a party
or by which the Company or any such guarantor, as applicable, is
bound;

       

      (c) the
Company or any guarantor of such Securities has paid or caused to be paid all
other sums payable hereunder by the Company;

       

      (d) the
Company has delivered irrevocable instructions to the Trustee for such
Securities under this Indenture to apply the deposited money toward the payment
of such Securities at maturity or on the redemption date, as the case may be;
and

       

      (e) 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 6.07 and, if money shall have been deposited with
the Trustee pursuant to subclause (ii) of Clause (a) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 4.02 and the last paragraph of Section
10.03 shall survive.

       

       

      SECTION
4.02 Application of Trust
Money.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 4.01 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 (including 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 the Trustee; but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

       

      If such
Trustee or Paying Agent is unable to apply any proceeds in accordance with
Section 4.01 hereof by reason of any legal proceeding or by reason of any order
or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or
otherwise prohibiting such application, the Company’s and any applicable
guarantor’s obligations under this Indenture and the applicable Securities shall
be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to Section
4,01 hereof; provided
that if the Company has made any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or
interest on, any Securities because of the reinstatement of its obligations, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee or Paying
Agent.

      SECTION
5.02 Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment.

       

      (a) If an
Event of Default (other than those specified in Sections 5.01(f) and 5.01(g))
occurs with respect to any series of Outstanding Securities and is continuing,
then and in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in
the terms of that series) of all the Securities to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal shall become
immediately due and payable.

       

      Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(f)
or 5.01(g), the principal amount (or, if the Securities of any such series are
Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may
be specified in the terms of that series) of all Outstanding Securities will
ipso facto become due and payable without any declaration or other Act on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder.

       

      (b)           At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to the Securities
of 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

       

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

       

      (A) all
overdue interest on all Securities of the series,

such Securities,

       

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

       

      (D) all sums
paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.07;

       

      and

       

      (ii) all
Events of Default, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of
that series which have become due solely by such declaration of acceleration,
have been cured or waived as provided in Section 5.13.

       

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

       

       

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

       

      The
Company covenants that if

       

      (i) 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

       

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

       

      the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and interest, and, to the extent that payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue principal and on
any overdue interest, at the rate borne by the 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 an
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion, subject to applicable law,
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
5.04 Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim.

       

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

       

      No
provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan
of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

       

       

      SECTION
5.05 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, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 6.07, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

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 6.07; and

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.

       

       

      SECTION
5.07 Limitation on
Suits.

       

      No Holder
of any Security 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

       

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

       

      (ii) the
Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate 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;

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
5.08 Unconditional Right of
Holders to Receive Principal 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 (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security 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
5.09 Restoration of Rights and
Remedies.

       

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

       

      Except as
otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no
right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any
right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent
assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

       

       

      SECTION
5.11 Delay or Omission Not
Waiver.

       

      No delay
or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security 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
5.12 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

       

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

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
5.13 Waiver of Past
Defaults.

       

      The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities affected by any past default hereunder (all voting together as one
class) may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities affected by such past
default, waive such past default and its consequences, subject to the payment of
the amounts required under Section 5.02(b) (i) (D), except a
default

       

      (i) in the
payment of the principal of or interest on any Security, or

       

      (ii) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security 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
5.14 Undertaking for
Costs.

       

      In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, in
either case in respect to the Securities, a court may require any party litigant
in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court
may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorney’s fees, against any
party litigant in the suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the
claims or defenses made by the 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 25% 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 maturity of such Security.

       

       

      SECTION
5.15 Waiver of Stay or Extension
Laws.

       

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

Responsibilities.

       

      The
duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust
Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture
shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein expressly
so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or
affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.

       

       

      SECTION
6.02 Notice of
Defaults.

       

      The
Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any default hereunder as and to the
extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in
the case of any default of the character specified in Section 5.01(d), no such
notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence
thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default.

       

       

      SECTION
6.03 Certain Rights of
Trustee.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of Section 6.01:

       

      (a) the
Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be fully protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture,
note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it
to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or
parties, and the Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in the

duly delegated to it by the Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by
a Board Resolution;

       

      (c) whenever
in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable that
a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting any
action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’
Certificate;

       

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

       

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

       

      (f) 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;

       

      (g) the
Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties
hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys and the Trustee
shall not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any
agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder;

       

      (h) the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any Default or Event of Default
(except as provided in Section 5.01(e)) with respect to the Securities unless
either (i) a Responsible Officer shall have actual knowledge of such Default or
Event of Default or (ii) written notice of such Default or Event of Default
shall have been given to the Trustee by the Company or any other obligor on such
Securities or by any Holder of such Securities and such notice references the
Securities generally or the Securities of a particular series and this
Indenture;

       

      (i) the
Trustee may act through agents, attorneys, custodians, or nominees and shall not
be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent, attorney,
custodian, or nominee appointed with due care. No Depositary shall be deemed an
agent, attorney, custodian, or nominee of the Trustee and the Trustee shall not
be responsible for any act or omission by any Depositary;

       

      (j) in no
event shall the Trustee be liable for the selection of investments or for
investment losses incurred thereon. The Trustee shall have no liability in
respect of losses incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment
prior to its stated maturity or failure to provide timely written direction;
and

       

      (k) the
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it in
good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture; provided that the Trustee’s
conduct does not constitute negligence or bad faith.

       

       

      SECTION
6.04 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
6.05 May Hold
Securities.

       

      The
Trustee, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other agent of the
Company, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or
pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.08 and 6.13, may otherwise deal
with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other agent.

       

       

      SECTION
6.06 Money Held in
Trust.

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
6.07 Compensation and
Reimbursement. 

       

      The Company agrees:

       

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

       

      (ii) except as
otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request
for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or  made by the
Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture (including the
reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and
counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

       

      (iii) to
indemnify the Trustee (including its directors and officers) for, and to hold it
harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise
or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

       

      The
obligations of the Company under this Section 6.07 shall survive the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture and the resignation or removal of
the Trustee. To secure the Company’s payment obligations in this Section 6.07,
the Trustee shall have a Lien prior to the Securities on all money or property
held or collected by the Trustee, except that held in trust to pay principal and
interest on the Securities. Such Lien shall survive the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture. When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services after a Default or an Event of Default specified in Sections 5.01(f) or
5.01(g) hereof occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services
(including the fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under U.S. Code, Title 11 or any other
similar foreign, federal or state law for the relief of debtors.

       

      In no
event shall the Trustee be liable for any indirect, special or consequential
loss or damage of any kind whatsoever, including, but not limited to, lost
profits.

       

      In no
event shall the Trustee be liable for any failure or delay in the performance of
its obligations hereunder because of circumstances beyond its control,
including, but not limited to, acts of God, flood, natural catastrophes, riot,
loss or malfunctions of utilities, or government action, which delay, restrict
or prohibit the providing of the services contemplated by this
Agreement.

       

       

      SECTION
6.08 Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.

       

      If the
Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of the
Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or resign,
to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of,
the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture.

       

       

      SECTION
6.09 Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility.

       

      There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a Person that is
eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000. If such Person publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined
capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner
and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article.

       

       

      SECTION
6.10 Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor.

       

      (a)    No resignation or
removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a successor Trustee pursuant to
this Article shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee under Section 6.11.

       

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

       

      (c)           The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series
by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to the
Company.

       

      (d)           If
at any time:

       

      (i) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.08 after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months, or

       

      (ii) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.09 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
or

       

      (iii) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or

       

      (iv) a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,

       

      then, in
any such case, (A) the Company by a Company Order may remove the Trustee, or (B)
subject to Section 5.14, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a
Security of any series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to such series of Securities and the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

       

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

       

      (f)           The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
with respect to Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to Securities of such series to all Holders of Securities
of such series in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each notice shall include
the name of the successor Trustee and the address of its Corporate Trust
Office.

       

       

      SECTION
6.11 Acceptance of Appointment by
Successor.

       

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

       

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

       

      (c) Upon

instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such
successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph

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

      SUPPLEMENTAL
INDENTURES

       

       

      SECTION
9.01 Supplemental Indentures
Without Consent of Holders.

       

      Notwithstanding
Section 9.02 of this Indenture, the Company and the Trustee may amend or
supplement this Indenture or the Securities of one or more series without the
consent of any Holder for certain purposes, including:

       

      (a) evidencing
the succession of another Person to the Company and such Person’s assumption of
the Company’s obligations under the Indenture;

       

      (b) adding to
the Company’s covenants or Events of Default;

       

      (c) establishing
forms or terms of the Securities of a particular series; and

       

      (d) curing
ambiguities and other purposes which do not adversely affect the Holders of the
Outstanding Securities of a particular series in any material
respect.

       

      Upon the
request of the Company authorizing the execution of any such amended or
supplemental indenture, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents
described in Section 6.03 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the
execution of any amended or supplemental indenture authorized or permitted by
the terms of this Indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements and
stipulations that may be therein contained, but the Trustee will not be
obligated to enter into such amended or supplemental indenture that affects its
own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

       

       

      SECTION
9.02 Supplemental Indentures 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 aggregate 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 Holders of each such series. Except as provided in Section
5.13, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of each 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
9.02 to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture or
waiver, but it shall be sufficient if such consent approves the substance
thereof. Upon the request of the Company authorizing the execution of any such
amended or supplemental indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee of the consent of the Holders of Securities
as aforesaid, and upon receipt by the Trustee of the documents described in
Section 6.03 hereof, the Trustee will join with the Company in the execution of
such amended or supplemental indenture unless such amended or supplemental
indenture directly affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under
this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion,
but will not be obligated to, enter into such amended or supplemental
Indenture.

       

      After a
supplemental indenture or waiver under this section becomes effective, the
Company shall mail to the Holders of Securities affected thereby, 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
9.03 Limitations.

       

      Without
the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with
respect to any Securities held by a non-consenting Holder):

       

      (a) change
the Stated Maturity of the principal of, or any installment of interest on, or
the redemption price of, any such Security;

       

      (b) reduce
the principal amount of or interest on, any such Security;

       

      (c) change
currency of payment of principal of or interest on, any such
Security;

       

      (d) impair
the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on any such
Security;

       

      (e) reduce
the percentage in principal amount of Outstanding Securities of a particular
series, the consent of whose Holders is required for modification or amendment
of the Indenture, or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the
Indenture or waiver of certain defaults; or

       

      (f) modify
such provisions with respect to modification and waiver.

       

       

      SECTION
9.04 Execution of Supplemental
Indentures.

       

      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 6.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, in addition
to the documents required by Section 1.02, an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture.

       

       

      SECTION
9.05 Effect of Supplemental
Indentures.

       

      Until an
amendment or 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 the amendment or waiver becomes effective.

       

      Any
amendment or waiver once effective shall bind every Holder of each series
affected by such amendment or waiver unless it is of the type described in any
of clauses (a) through (f) of Section 9.03. 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
9.06 Conformity with Trust
Indenture Act.

       

      Every
supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article shall conform to the
requirements of the Trust Indenture Act.

       

       

      SECTION
9.07 Reference in Securities to
Supplemental Indentures.

       

      Securities
of any series authenticated and delivered after the execution of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may, and shall if required by
the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so determine,
new Securities of any series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the
Trustee and the Company, to any such supplemental indenture may be prepared and
executed by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in
exchange for Outstanding Securities of such series.

       

       

      SECTION
9.08 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 6.01) 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.

Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of Securities that
it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any premium or interest on
the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of
that series and this Indenture.

       

       

      SECTION
10.02 Maintenance of Office or
Agency.

       

      The
Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an
office or agency (which may be an office of the Trustee or an affiliate of the
Trustee) where Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for
payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be served. The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any
change in the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company
shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to
furnish the Trustee with the 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 other offices or
agencies where the Securities of one or more series may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designation; provided,
however, that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner
relieve the Company of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in each
Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee and the Holders of any such
designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.

       

       

      SECTION
10.03 Money for Security Payments
to Be Held in Trust.

       

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

       

      Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities,
it will, prior to 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on each due date of the
principal of or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.

       

      The
Company shall cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than
the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this
Section, that such Paying Agent will (i) comply with the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) during the continuance
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that
series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that
series, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent as such.

       

      The
Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order
direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same
trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or such Paying
Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying
Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to such
money.

       

      Any money
deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in
trust for the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security of any
series and remaining unclaimed for two years after such principal or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such repayment,
may at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in a newspaper
published in the English language, customarily published on each New York City
Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New York, notice that
such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which
shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed
balance of such money then remaining shall be repaid to the
Company.

       

       

      SECTION
10.04 Existence.

       

      Subject
to Article Eight, the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary
to preserve and keep in full force and effect its existence, rights (charter and
statutory) and franchises; provided, however, that the
Company shall not be required to preserve any such right or franchise if the
Board of Directors of the Company shall determine that the preservation thereof
is no longer desirable in the conduct of the business of the Company and that
the loss thereof is not disadvantageous in any material respect to the
Holders.

Certain Information.

       

      The
Company shall file with to the Trustee all quarterly and annual reports on Forms
10-Q and 10-K and all current reports on Form 8-K and all proxy statements which
the Company is then required to file with the Commission pursuant to Section 13
or 15(d) of the Exchange Act; provided, that any such information or reports
required to be filed with the Commission pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the
Exchange Act shall be filed with the Trustee within 15 days after the same is
required to be filed with the Commission, and provided further that if the
Company files the reports required by this Section 10.05 with the Commission and
such reports are publicly available, it shall be deemed to have satisfied its
obligation to furnish such reports pursuant to this Section 10.05.

       

       

      SECTION

Securities.

       

      During
the period beginning on the Issue Date and ending on the date that is two years
from the Issue Date, the Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its
“affiliates” (as defined under Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any
successor provision thereto) to, resell any Securities which constitute
“restricted securities” under Rule 144 that have been reacquired by any of them.
The Trustee shall have no responsibility in respect of the Company’s performance
of its agreement in the preceding sentence.

       

       

      SECTION

other book-entry arrangements that it determines are reasonable for the
Securities.

      Securities

      The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less

to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the
tenor, if applicable, of the Securities to be redeemed, and of the principal
amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction.

       

       

      SECTION
11.03 Selection by Trustee of
Securities to Be Redeemed.

       

      If less
than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the particular
Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
portions (equal to the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of that
series or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of Securities
of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized denomination
for Securities of that series.

       

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

       

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

       

       

      SECTION
11.04 Notice of
Redemption.

      All
notices of redemption shall state:

       

      (a) the
Redemption Date,

       

      (b) the

      (c) if less
than all the Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the

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

       

      (e) the place
or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price,

       

      (f) the CUSIP
numbers, if any, of such Security,

       

      (g) for any
Securities that by their terms may be converted, the terms of conversion, the
date on which the right to convert the Security to be redeemed will terminate
and the place or places where such Securities may be surrendered for conversion,
and

       

      (h) that the
redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.

       

      Notice of
redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be
given by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name
and at the expense of the Company, and shall be irrevocable. The notice of
redemption mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed
to have been duly given whether or not the Holder receives such notice. In any
case, failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Security shall not affect the validity of the proceeding for the
redemption of any other Security.

10:00 a.m. New York City time on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own
Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 10.03) an
amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the
Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date) accrued interest on, all the
Securities which are to be redeemed on that date, other than any Securities
called for redemption on that date which have been converted prior to the date
of such deposit.

       

      If any
Security called for redemption is converted, any money deposited with the
Trustee or with any Paying Agent or so segregated and held in trust for the
redemption of such Security shall (subject to any right of the Holder of such
Security or any Predecessor Security to receive interest as provided in the last
paragraph of Section 3.07 or in the terms of such Security) be paid to the
Company upon Company Request or, if then held by the Company, shall be
discharged from such trust.

       

       

      SECTION
11.06 Securities Payable on
Redemption Date.

       

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

       

      If any
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security.

       

       

      SECTION
11.07 Securities Redeemed in
Part.

       

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

       

       

      ARTICLE
12.

      DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

       

       

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

       

      The
Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 12.02 or Section
12.03 applied to any series of the Outstanding Securities upon compliance with
the conditions set forth below in this Article. Any such election shall be
evidenced by a Board Resolution.

       

       

      SECTION
12.02 Defeasance and
Discharge.

       

      Upon the
Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to the
Outstanding Securities of any series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such series of Securities as
provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in
Section 12.04 are satisfied (hereinafter called “Defeasance”) . For this
purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and
discharged the entire indebtedness represented by the Outstanding Securities of
such series and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such series of
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such series of Securities are concerned
(and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of
Holders of such series of Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 12.04 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of and interest on such Securities when payments are
due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such series of Securities
under Sections 3.04, 3.05, 3.06, 10.02 and 10.03, (c) the rights, powers,
trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (d) this Article.
Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if
any) to have this Section applied to the Outstanding Securities of any series
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 12.03
applied to such series of Securities.

       

       

      SECTION
12.03 Covenant
Defeasance.

       

      Upon the
Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
series of the Securities, (a) the Company shall, with respect to such series of
Securities, be released from its obligations under Article 8 and (b) the
occurrence of any event specified in Sections 5.01(d) (with respect to Article
8) or 5.01(e) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in
each case with respect to such series of Securities as provided in this Section
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 12.04 are satisfied
(hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”) . For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such series of Securities, the Company
may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term,
condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent
so specified in the case of Section 5.01(d)), whether directly or indirectly by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any
reference in any such Section to any other provision herein or in any other
document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such series of Securities
shall be unaffected thereby.

       

       

      SECTION
12.04 Conditions to Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance.

       

      The
following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 12.02 or Section
12.03 to the then Outstanding Securities of any series:

       

      (a) The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
Section 6.09 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable
to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments,
specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of
the Holders of such series of Securities, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) U.S.
Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not
later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or
(iii) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee)
to pay and discharge, the principal of and interest, if any, on such series of
Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and such series of Securities. As used herein, “U.S. Government
Obligation” means (x) any security which is (1) a direct obligation of the
United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of
the United States of America is pledged or (2) an obligation of a Person
controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the
United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in
either case (1) or (2), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the
issuer thereof, and (y) any depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in
Section 3(a) (2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S.
Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such
bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect
to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government
Obligation which is so specified and held, provided that (except as
required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the
amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received
by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific
payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary
receipt.

       

      (b) In the
event of an election to have Section 12.02 apply to such series of Securities,
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating
that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the
Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this instrument,
there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case
(i) or (ii) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm
that, the Holders of such series of Securities will not recognize gain or loss
for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and
discharge to be effected with respect to such series of Securities and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the
same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were
not to occur.

       

      (c) In the
event of an election to have Section 12.03 apply to such series of Securities,
the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the Holders of such series of Securities will not recognize gain or
loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant
Defeasance to be effected with respect to such series of Securities and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the
same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not
to occur.

       

      (d) The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate to the
effect that such series of Securities, if then listed on any securities
exchange, will not be delisted as a result of such deposit.

       

      (e) No event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to such series of Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event
specified in Sections 5.01(f) and 5.01(g), at any time on or prior to the
90th
day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th
day).

       

      (f) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all
Securities are in default within the meaning of such Act).

       

      (g) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.

       

      (h) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or
exempt from registration thereunder.

       

      (i) The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to
such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

       

       

      SECTION
12.05 Deposited Money and U.S.
Government Obligations to be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous
Provisions.

       

      Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 10.03, all money and U.S.
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and
Section 12.06, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
collectively as the “Trustee”) pursuant to Section 12.04 in respect of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall be held in trust and applied by the
Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such series of Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such series of Securities, of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal and interest, but money so held in
trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.

       

      The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 12.04 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

       

      Anything
in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or
pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S.
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 12.04 with respect to
the Outstanding Securities of any series which, in the opinion of a nationally
recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount
thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or
Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be, with respect to such series of
Securities.

       

       

      SECTION
12.06 Reinstatement.

       

      If the
Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article with respect to the Outstanding Securities of any series by reason of
any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority enjoining,
restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations
under this Indenture and such series of Securities from which the Company has
been discharged or released pursuant to Section 12.02 or 12.03 shall be revived
and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with
respect to such series of Securities, until such time as the Trustee or Paying
Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 12.05
with respect to such series of Securities in accordance with this Article; provided, however, that if
the Company makes any payment of principal of or interest on any such Security
of that series following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such series of
Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust.

       

       

      ARTICLE
13.

      SINKING
FUNDS

       

       

      SECTION
13.01 Applicability of
Article.

       

      The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the
retirement of Securities of any series if so specified as contemplated by
Section 3.01 for Securities of such series.

       

      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 payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the
terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of the Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 13.02. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of the Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of the
Securities of such series.

       

       

      SECTION
13.02 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities.

       

      The
Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any
previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a
series which have been converted in accordance with their terms or which have
been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund
payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction
of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of
such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such
series as provided for by the terms of such series; provided that the Securities
to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so
credited shall be received, 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 Redemption Price, as specified in the
Securities to be so redeemed (or at such other prices as may be specified for
such Securities as contemplated in Section 3.01), 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 13.02, 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
13.03 Redemption of Securities for
Sinking Fund.

       

      Not less
than 60 days 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 sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of such Securities, 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 Securities of that series pursuant to
Section 13.02 stating that such Securities have not been previously used as a
credit against any sinking fund payment and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking
fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 11.03 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 11.04. Such notice
having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the
terms and in the manner stated in Section 11.05, 11.06 and 11.07.

       

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

       

      
        
           

        

        
           

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

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