(f)            The Company may, but shall not be
obligated to, set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders
of Outstanding Securities entitled to give, make or take any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or
permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of
Securities, provided that the Company may not set a record date for, and
the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or
making of any notice, declaration, request or direction referred to in the next
paragraph.  If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such

action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided
that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to
the applicable Expiration Date (as defined below) by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities on such record date.  Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed
to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which
a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the
record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person
be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be
construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite
principal amount of Outstanding Securities on the date such action is
taken.  Promptly after any record date is
set pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in writing and to each Holder of
Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106.

 

The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration, or any
rescission or annulment of any such declaration, referred to in Section 502,
(iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or
(iv) any direction referred to in Section 512.  If any record date is set pursuant to this
paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request
or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record
date; provided that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless
taken on or prior to the 

 

12

 

applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount
of Outstanding Securities on such record date. 
Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from
setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously
been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set
shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no
effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective
any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities on the date such action is taken. 
Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the
Trustee, at the Company’s expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the
proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to
the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities in the manner set forth
in Section 106.

 

With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section, the party hereto which
sets such record dates may designate any day as the “Expiration Date” and from
time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day; provided
that no such change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new
Expiration Date is given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each
Holder of Securities in the manner set forth in Section 106, on or prior
to the existing Expiration Date.  If an
Expiration Date is not designated with respect to any record date set pursuant
to this Section, the party hereto which set such record date shall be deemed to
have initially designated the 180th day after such record date as the
Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to its right to change the
Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than
the 180th day after the applicable record date.

 

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

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 the address of such Holder 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.  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 written approval of the Trustee shall
constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

 

Section 107.           Conflict
With Trust Indenture Act.  If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust
Indenture Act which 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 which may be so modified or excluded, the latter
provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be
excluded, as the case may be.

 

Section 108.           Effect
of Headings and Table of Contents. 
The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of
Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

 

14

 

Section 109.           Successors
and Assigns.  All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor shall
bind their respective successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 110.           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 111.           Benefits
of Indenture.  Nothing in this
Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person,
other than the parties hereto, any Paying Agent and their successors and
assigns, and the Holders, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy
or claim under this Indenture.

 

Section 112.           Governing
Law; Waiver of Jury Trial.  THIS
INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

EACH
OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THE SECURITIES OR THE
TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

Section 113.           Legal
Holidays.  In any case where any
Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity or Stated Maturity of any
Security shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other provision
of this Indenture or of the Securities (other than a provision of any Security
which specifically states that such provision shall apply in lieu of this
Section)) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be
made on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the
same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date or Redemption
Date, or at the Maturity or Stated Maturity and no interest shall accrue for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Redemption Date, Maturity
or Stated Maturity, as the case may be, if such payment is made or duly
provided for on the next succeeding Business Day, except that, if such Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day.

 

Section 114.           Computations.  Unless otherwise specifically provided, the
certificate or opinion of any independent firm of public accountants of
recognized standing selected by the Board of Directors shall be conclusive
evidence of the correctness of any computation made under the provisions of
this Indenture.  The Company shall
furnish to the Trustee upon its request a copy of any such certificate or
opinion.

 

15

 

Section 115.           Force Majeure.  In no event shall the Trustee be responsible
or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations
hereunder arising out of or caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond
its control, including, without limitation, strikes, work stoppages, accidents,
acts of war or terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural
catastrophes or acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of
utilities, communications or computer (software and hardware) services; it
being understood that the Trustee shall use reasonable efforts which are
consistent with accepted practices in the banking industry to resume
performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

of such series and if so, the specific terms and form of such Subsidiary
Guarantee or Subsidiary Guarantees, any related modifications, amendments,
supplements or deletions of any of the terms of this Indenture, and a statement
that the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be an “obligor” as such term is defined in
and solely for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act and shall be required to
comply with those provisions of this Indenture compliance with which is
required by an “obligor” under the Trust Indenture Act; and

 

(s)           any other terms of the Securities of
such series or any related Subsidiary Guarantee (which terms shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act, but may modify,
amend, supplement or delete any of the terms of this Indenture with respect to
such series), including any terms which may be required by or advisable under
United States laws or regulations or advisable (as determined by the Company)
in connection with the marketing of Securities of the series;

 

provided,
that if the Subsidiary Guarantor will guarantee the obligations of the Company
under the Securities of a series, such matters shall be established in one or
more indenture supplements hereto to which the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor and the Trustee shall be a party.

 

All
Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in or pursuant
to such Board Resolution and set forth in such Officers’ Certificate or in any
such indenture supplemental hereto.

 

20

 

If any
of the terms of the series are established by action taken pursuant to a Board
Resolution, a copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified
by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate setting forth
the terms of the series.

 

Section 302.           Denominations.  The Securities of each series shall be in
registered form without coupons and shall be issuable in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiples thereof, unless otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301.

 

Section 303.           Execution, Authentication,
Delivery and Dating.  The Securities
shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, President, Chief
Executive Officer or any Vice President. 
The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual
or facsimile.

 

Securities
bearing the manual or facsimile signature of an individual who was at any time
a proper officer of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that
such individual has ceased to hold such office prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such office 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 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.

 

Notwithstanding
the provisions 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 Company Order otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or
prior to the authentication of each Security of such series if such Company
Order is delivered at or prior to the 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 the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, 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 309,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security

 

21

 

shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

Minor
typographical and other minor errors in the text of any Security shall not
affect the validity and enforceability of such Security if it has been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

 

The
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver one or
more Global Securities with respect to each series of Securities that (i) shall
represent an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the
initially issued Securities of such series, (ii) shall be
registered in the name of the Depositary or the nominee of the Depositary, (iii) shall
be delivered by the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s
instruction and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially in the form
required in Section 202.

 

The
Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any
Securities under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel,
determines in good faith that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the
Trustee in good faith shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee
to personal liability to existing Holders.

 

The
Depositary must, at all times while it serves as such Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Exchange Act, and any other applicable statute or
regulation.

 

Neither
the Trustee nor any agent shall have any responsibility for any actions taken
or not taken by the Depositary.

 

Section 304.           Temporary Securities.  Pending the preparation of definitive
Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon Company Order, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
typewritten or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination,
substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities of any series in lieu
of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 

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

 

22

 

Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms as
such temporary Securities.  Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

 

Section 305.           Registration; Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.  The Company
shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the register
maintained in such office or in any other office or agency of the Company in a
Place of Payment being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security
Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and of
transfers and exchanges of Securities. 
The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of
registering Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the office or agency
of the Company in a Place of Payment, 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 tenor and aggregate principal amount, of
the same original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and having the same terms.

 

Notwithstanding
any other provision of this Section, unless and until it is exchanged in whole
or in part for the individual Securities represented thereby, a Global Security
representing all or a portion of the Securities may not be transferred except
as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee
of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary, or
by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or nominee of
such successor Depositary.

 

At the
option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities, of the
same series of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount, of the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity and
having the same terms, 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.

 

If at
any time the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary or if at any time the Depositary shall cease to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act as provided in Section 303,
the Company shall appoint a successor Depositary.  If a successor Depositary is not appointed by
the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes
aware of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon
receipt of a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of individual
Securities, will authenticate and make available for delivery, individual
Securities in an aggregate principal amount equal

 

23

 

to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities
representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

The
Company may at any time and in its sole discretion (subject to the procedures
of the Depositary) determine that individual Securities issued in the form of
one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global
Security or Securities.  In such event
the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Order for
the authentication and delivery of individual Securities, will authenticate and
make available for delivery, individual Securities in an aggregate principal
amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities
representing the Securities in exchange for such Global Security or Securities.

 

The
Depositary may surrender a Global Security in exchange in whole or in part for
individual Securities on such terms as are acceptable to the Company, the
Trustee and such Depositary.  Thereupon,
the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, without service charge:

 

(1)           to each Person specified by such
Depositary a new individual Security or Securities of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to
and in exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the Global Security;
and

 

(2)           to such Depositary a new Global
Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the
principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal
amount of individual Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

 

Upon
the exchange of a Global Security for individual Securities in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global Security, such
Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee.  Individual Securities issued in exchange for
a Global Security pursuant to this Section shall be registered in such
names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global
Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or
otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. 
The Trustee shall make available for delivery such individual Securities
to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

 

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 Security Registrar) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to

 

24

 

the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing.

 

No
service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities,
other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, Section 906 or Section 1108
not involving any transfer.

 

Neither
the Company nor the Trustee shall be required, pursuant to the provisions of
this Section: (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange
any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 calendar days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article Eleven
and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing of notice of
redemption; or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of
any Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof that is not redeemed.

 

Section 306.           Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and
Stolen Securities.  If any mutilated
Security is surrendered to the Trustee together with such security or indemnity
as may be required by the Company or the Trustee to save each of them harmless,
the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a new Security of the same issue and series, of like tenor
and principal amount, having the same Original Issue Date and Stated Maturity
and bearing the same Interest Rate as such mutilated Security, and bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding.

 

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

 

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

 

Upon
the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company may require
the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge

 

25

 

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 307.           Payment of Interest; Interest
Rights Preserved.  Interest on any
Security of any series which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest in respect of
Securities of such series.  The initial
payment of interest on any Security of any series which is issued between a
Regular Record Date and the related Interest Payment Date shall be payable as
provided in such Security or in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the related series of Securities.

 

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

 

(1)           The Company may elect to make payment
of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such
series in respect of which interest is in default (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in
the following manner.  The Company shall
notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to
be paid on each Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same
time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the
aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or
shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to
the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
Clause provided.  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

 

26

 

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 a Security of such series at the
address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10
days prior to such Special Record Date. 
Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or
their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to
the following Clause (2).

 

(2)           The Company may make payment of any
Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any series in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the
Securities of the series in respect of which interest is in default may be
listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange (or by the
Trustee if the Securities are not listed), 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 308.           Persons Deemed Owners.  The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name any Security is registered as the owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any
premium and (subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security or any
payment pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and none of the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

 

None
of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, or the Trustee will have any responsibility
or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on
account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or maintaining,
supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests.

 

27

 

Section 309.           Cancellation.  All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such
Securities and Securities surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such
purpose shall be promptly cancelled by it. 
The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company
may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or
to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any
Securities previously authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued
and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Trustee.  No Securities shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee
shall be disposed by the Trustee in accordance with its customary procedures or
as directed by a Company Order, and the Trustee shall deliver to the Company a
certificate evidencing the disposition of the cancelled Securities upon its
request therefor.  Acquisition by the
Company of any Security shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of
the indebtedness represented by such Security unless and until the same is
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

Section 310.           Computation of Interest.  Except as otherwise specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of
each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months.

 

Section 311.           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
identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall
not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers.  The Company will promptly notify the Trustee
in writing of any change in the “CUSIP” numbers.

Section 401.           Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture.  This Indenture shall upon

series (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for) and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities,
when:

 

28

 

(1)           either

 

(A)          all
such Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 306 and (ii) 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 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or

 

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

 

(i)            have become due and payable, or

 

(ii)           will become due and payable at their
Stated Maturity within one year of the date of deposit, or

 

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

 

and the Company, in the
case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee as trust funds: (A) money; (B) 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; or (C) a combination
thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge, and which
shall be applied by the Trustee, to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
for principal (and premium, if any) 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; provided, that the
Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require the Company to
deliver to the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification, or other
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, as to the sufficiency of deposits made by
the Company pursuant to this Section;

 

(2)           the Company has paid or caused to be
paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with respect to such

(3)           the Company has delivered to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all
conditions precedent herein

 

29

 

provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture with respect to such Securities have been complied
with.

 

The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to this Section 401 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.

 

Notwithstanding
the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the
Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and the preceding paragraph, the
obligations of the Company to any Authenticating Agent under Section 614
and, if money and/or Government Obligations shall have been deposited with the
Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the
obligations of the Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003
shall survive such satisfaction and discharge.

 

Section 402.           Application of Trust Money.  Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations deposited
with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 and all proceeds of such
Government Obligations and the interest thereon, shall be held in trust and
applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities of the
applicable series 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
any premium and interest for whose payment such money and Government
Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.

 

ARTICLE FIVE

Section 501.           Events of Default.  “Event of Default”, wherever used herein with
respect to the Securities of any series, means any one of the following events
(whatever the reason for such Event of Default and whether it shall be
voluntary or involuntary or be effected by operation of law or pursuant to any
judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of
any administrative or governmental body):

 

(1)           default in the payment of any interest
upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and such
default continues for a period of 30 days; or

 

(2)           default in the payment of the
principal of or premium, if any, on any Security of that series at its
Maturity; or

 

30

 

(3)           default in the performance, or
breach, of any covenant or warranty of the Company in this Indenture (other
than a covenant or warranty a default in the performance of which or the breach
of which is specifically dealt with elsewhere in this Section), and continuance
of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given,
by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the
Company and the Trustee by the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying
such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder; or

 

(4)           the entry of a decree or order by a
court having jurisdiction in the premises adjudging the Company bankrupt or
insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company under
any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any substantial
part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs,
and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for a
period of 90 consecutive days; or

 

(5)           the institution by the Company of
proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent, or the consent by it to
the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the
filing by it of a petition or answer of consent seeking reorganization or
relief under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by it to the filing of any
such petition or to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator assignee,
trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any
substantial part of its property, or the making by it of an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due and its willingness to be adjudicated
bankrupt, or the taking of corporate action by the Company in furtherance of
any such action; or

 

(6)           any other Event of Default specified
with respect to Securities of that series as contemplated in Section 301.

 

Section 502.           Acceleration of Maturity;
Rescission and Annulment.  If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or
Section 501(5)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if the
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion
of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) of all
of the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice
in writing to

 

31

 

the Company (and
to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such
principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and
payable.  If an Event of Default
specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5) with respect
to Securities of a series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount
of all the Securities of such series (or specified amount) shall automatically,
and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any
Holder, become immediately due and payable.

 

At any
time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to 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 not less than a majority in aggregate 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:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(C)           to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, interest upon overdue installments of interest at the rate
or rates borne by or prescribed therefor in such Securities, and

 

(D)          all sums paid or advanced by the
Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, disbursements, advances and
expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel; and

 

(2)           all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of the principal (or a specified portion of the principal) of and
interest on Securities of that series which has become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

 

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

 

Section 503.           Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.  The Company covenants that if:

 

32

 

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

 

(2)           default
is made in the payment of the principal or premium, if any, on 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, including any sinking fund
payment or analogous obligations (and premium, if any) and interest, including,
to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest
on any overdue principal or premium, if any, and on any overdue interest, at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition
thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and
expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, disbursements,
advances and expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel.

 

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

 

If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce
its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem necessary 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 504.           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:

 

(a)           the
Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise,

 

(i)            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, and

 

33

 

(ii)           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 in accordance with Section 506;
and

 

(b)           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 for distribution in accordance with
Section 506, 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, disbursements, advances and
expenses of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 607.

 

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; provided, however,
that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a
trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member of a creditors’ or
other similar committee.

 

Section 505.           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, disbursements, advances and expenses of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the
Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 

Section 506.           Application
of Money Collected.  Any money or
property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with respect to a series of
Securities pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money or property on account of principal or premium, if
any, 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
and any predecessor Trustee under Section 607;

 

SECOND:  To the payment of the amounts then due and
unpaid upon such series of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been
collected, ratably, without

 

34

 

preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and
payable on such series of Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, respectively; and

 

THIRD:  To the payment of the remainder, if any, to
the Company, its successors or assigns or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct.

 

Section 507.           Limitation
on Suits.  No Holder of any
Securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding,
judicial or otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment
of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(5)           no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of that series; it being understood and intended
that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect,
disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such Holders (it being
understood that the Trustee does not have an affirmative duty to ascertain
whether or not such actions or forbearances are unduly prejudicial to such
Holders), or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.

 

Section 508.           Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provision in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective
Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of

 

35

 

redemption, on the
Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 509.           Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.  If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture 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 Subsidiary Guarantor, 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 510.           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 306,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. 
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or
otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 511.           Delay
or Omission Not Waiver.  No delay or
omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right
or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein.  Every right and
remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders
may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by
the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

Section 512.           Control
by Holders.  The Holders of a
majority in aggregate 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:

 

(1)           such direction shall not be in
conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, involve the Trustee
in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the Holders of the Securities
not joining in the action; and

 

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

 

36

 

Section 513.           Waiver of Past Defaults.  The Holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series, waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and
its consequences, except a default:

 

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

 

(2)            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 of such series affected.

 

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

 

Section 514.           Undertaking for Costs.  All parties
to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Security by his acceptance
thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion
require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this
Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Trustee, any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that court may in its discretion
assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses,
against any such party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits
and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant, in the
manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to
authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an
assessment in any suit instituted by the Company or by the Trustee, to any suit
instituted by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more
than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or
any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date).

 

Section 515.           Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein 

 

37

 

granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Section 601.           Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

 

(a)           Except during the continuance of an Event of Default,

 

(i)             the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
Trustee; and

 

(ii)            in the absence of bad faith on its part, the
Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture;
but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision
hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee
shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they
conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not confirm or
investigate the accuracy of mathematical calculations or other facts stated
therein).

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(iii)           the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of any 

 

38

 

series,
determined as provided in Section 101, Section 104 and Section 512,
relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such
series; and

 

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

 

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

 

Section 602.           Notice of Defaults.  If a default
occurs hereunder with respect to the Securities of a series, the Trustee,
within 90 days of such default, shall give the Holders of such Securities
notice of such default 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 501(3) with respect to such
Securities, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days
after the occurrence thereof; and provided, further, that the
Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders of any default with respect to
Securities of a series (except any default of the character specified in Section 501(1) and
Section 501(2)), if and so long as the board of directors, the executive
committee or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the
Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of the notice is in the
interest of the Holders of such Securities. 
For the purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event
which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of
Default with respect to the Securities of a series.

 

Section 603.           Certain Rights of Trustee. 
Subject to the provisions of Section 601:

 

(1)            the Trustee may conclusively rely and shall be
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;

 

(2)            any request or direction of the Company
mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Company Request or
Company Order, and any resolution of the Board of Directors shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution;

 

39

 

(3)           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 and may at its discretion secure
such further evidence deemed necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be
bound to secure the same;

 

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

 

(5)           the Trustee shall not be bound to make any
investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or
document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or
investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee
shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be
entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally
or by agent or attorney and shall incur no liability of any kind by reason of
such inquiry or investigation;

 

(6)           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;

 

(7)           the Trustee’s immunities and protections from
liability and its rights to compensation and indemnification in connection with
the performance of its duties under this Indenture shall extend to the Trustee’s
officers, directors, agents and employees and its services as Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or any other role assumed by the Trustee hereunder or to
which it has been appointed with respect to the Securities issued hereunder.  Such immunities and protections and right to
indemnification, together with the Trustee’s right to compensation, shall
survive the Trustee’s resignation or removal and final payment of the
Securities;

 

(8)           the Trustee is not required to give any bond or surety
with respect to the performance of its duties or the exercise of its powers
under this Indenture;

 

(9)           the Trustee shall not be deemed to have actual
knowledge of any “default” or Event of Default hereunder except (i) during
any period it is serving as Paying Agent for the Securities of a series, any
Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1) or Section 501(2),
or (ii) any default or Event of Default of which

 

40

 

a Responsible Officer shall have received written
notification from the Company or the Holders of at least 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of the series with respect to which such
default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or obtained “actual
knowledge.”  The term “actual knowledge”
as used herein shall mean the actual fact or statement of knowing by a
Responsible Officer without independent investigation with respect
thereto.  The term “default” as used in
this Section 603 shall mean any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
a series;

 

(10)          the Trustee shall be under no obligation to
exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture (other than
the payment of debt service on the Securities from moneys furnished to it
pursuant hereto), whether at the request or direction of the Holders or any
other Person, pursuant to this Indenture or otherwise, unless it shall have
been offered indemnity or security satisfactory to it against the fees, advances,
costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in connection
with the exercise of any such rights or powers;

 

(11)          in no event shall the Trustee be responsible or
liable for special, indirect, or consequential loss or damage of any kind
whatsoever (including, but not limited to, loss of profit) irrespective of
whether the Trustee has been advised of the likelihood of such loss or damage
and regardless of the form of action; and

 

(12)          the Trustee may request that the Company deliver
an Officers’ Certificate setting forth the names of individuals and/or titles
of officers authorized at such time to take specified actions pursuant to this
Indenture, which Officers’ Certificate may be signed by any person authorized
to sign an Officers’ Certificate, including any person specified as so
authorized in any such certificate previously delivered and not superseded.

 

Notwithstanding
anything else herein contained, (i) the Trustee shall not be liable
for any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer of the Trustee and (ii) 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
believes the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

Section 604.           Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities. 
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee’s
certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the
Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. 
The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency
of this Indenture or of 

 

41

 

the Securities. 
Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds
thereof.

 

Section 605.           May Hold Securities. 
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, 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 Section 608
and Section 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

 

Section 606.           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 agreed with the Company herein or otherwise.

 

Section 607.           Compensation and Reimbursement. 
The Company agrees:

 

(1)            to pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation 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);

 

(2)            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 and incurred or made without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith of it or of its agents or attorneys (including
the reasonable compensation, disbursements and expenses of its agents or
attorneys);

 

(3)            to indemnify each of the Trustee or any
predecessor Trustee and their agents for, and to hold them harmless against,
any and all loss, damage, claim, liability or expense, including taxes (other
than taxes based upon, measured by or determined by the income of the Trustee)
incurred without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
trust or trusts hereunder, including the reasonable costs and expenses of
defending itself against any claim (whether asserted by the Company, or any
Holder or any other Person) or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder, or in connection with
enforcing the provisions of this Section; and

 

(4)            without limiting any rights available to the
Trustee under applicable law, that when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders
services in connection with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(4) or
Section 501(5), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and
expenses of its counsel) and 

 

42

 

the compensation for the services are intended to
constitute expenses of administration under any applicable federal or state
bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law.

 

Section 608.           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.  To the extent permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting interest
by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to Securities of
more than one series, or by virtue of being a Trustee under this Indenture and
under the Indenture dated as of October 11, 2006 between the Company and
The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as
Trustee.

 

Section 609.           Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
The Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of Section 310(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act.  The Trustee
shall (i) be a corporation organized and doing business under the
laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of
Columbia, (ii) be authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, (iii) have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, and (iv) be subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority.  If such
corporation files 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 corporation
shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most
recent report of condition so filed.  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.  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 Six.  Neither the Company nor any Person directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with the
Company shall serve as Trustee for the Securities of any series issued
hereunder.

 

Section 610.           Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor. 
No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this Article shall become effective until
the acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 611.

 

The
Trustee may resign as Trustee at any time with respect to the Securities of one
or more series by giving written notice thereof to the Company.  If the instrument of acceptance by a
successor Trustee required by Section 611 shall not have been delivered to
the resigning Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition
any court of competent

 

43

 

jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

The
Trustee may be removed as Trustee hereunder 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.

 

If at
any time an instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 611
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the date a
notice of removal is delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee being removed may,
at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

 

If at
any time:

 

(1)           the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who has been a
bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months; or

 

(2)           the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any such Holder; or

 

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

 

then,
in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove
the Trustee, or (B) subject to Section 514, 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 removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee or
Trustees.

 

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 Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611.  If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the 

 

44

 

applicable requirements of Section 611, become
the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that
extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.  If no successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the
Holders and shall have accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611,
any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six
months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

 

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

 

Section 611.           Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

(a)           In the 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

 

45

 

provide for or facilitate
the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee and upon
the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or
removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided
therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or
conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts, and duties
of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series
to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of
the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by
such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those
series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 612.           Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business. 
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or
any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided
such corporation shall be 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.

 

Section 613.           Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company.  If and when
the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor
upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of the
Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or
any such other obligor).

 

Section 614.           Appointment
of Authenticating Agent.  The Trustee may appoint an
Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities
which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series 

 

46

 

issued upon
original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial
redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so
authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be
valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee
hereunder.  Wherever reference is made in
this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee
or the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed
to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. 
Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall
at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America, any State, Territory or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined
capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority. 
If such Authenticating Agent files reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed.

 

If at
any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section.

 

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

 

An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to
the Trustee and to the Company.  The
Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by
giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the
Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such
appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve.  Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested

 

47

 

with all the rights, powers and duties of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an
Authenticating Agent.

 

No
successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this Section.

 

The
Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time
compensation for its services under this Section as agreed to in writing
between the parties.

 

If an
appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this
Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition
to the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternative certificate of
authentication in the following form:

 

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

Regular Record Date, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Holders as of such Regular Record
Date; and

in writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such

shall preserve, in as current a form as is reasonably practicable, the names

within 60 days after each May 15 following the date of this Indenture,
deliver to Holders a brief report, dated as of such May 15, which complies

regulations prescribe) which the Company may be required to file with the
Commission pursuant to Section 13

Indenture Act;

 

(2)            file with the Trustee and the Commission, in

this Section as may be required by rules and regulations prescribed
from time to time by the Commission.

 

Delivery
of such reports, information and documents to the Trustee is for informational
purposes only and the Trustee’s receipt of such shall not constitute
constructive notice of any information contained therein or determinable from
information contained therein, including the Company’s compliance with any of
its covenants hereunder (as to which the Trustee is entitled to rely
exclusively on Officers’ Certificates).

Covenants

 

Section 1001.         Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest. 
The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if
any, and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the terms
of such Securities and this Indenture.

 

55

 

Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, the Company shall pay
interest on overdue amounts at the rate set forth in the first paragraph of the
Securities, and it shall pay interest on overdue interest at the same rate (to
the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable),
which interest on overdue interest shall accrue from the date such amounts
became overdue.

 

Section 1002.         Maintenance
of Office or Agency.  The Company
will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and each other
Place of Payment for any series, an office or agency where Securities of that
series may be presented or surrendered for payment, and an office or agency
where Securities may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange
and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and this Indenture may be served. 
The Company initially appoints the Trustee, acting through an affiliate
of its Corporate Trust Office, as its agent for said purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any 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, 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 may be presented or surrendered for any or all such
purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligation to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan,
The City of New York and each other Place of Payment for Securities of any
series for such purposes.  The Company
will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

Section 1003.         Money
for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.  If the Company shall at any time act as its
own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities, it will, on or
before each due date of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any
of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit
of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium,
if any, and any interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such
Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify
the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents, it will, prior to each due
date of the principal of or interest on any Securities, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest
so becoming due, such sum to be held as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, and
(unless such Paying 

 

56

 

Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of
its action or failure so to act.

 

The
Company will cause each Paying Agent 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 (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture
Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent, (2) give the Trustee notice
of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities) in the
making of any payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and (3) at
any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request
of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such
Paying Agent.

 

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 the Company or any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.

 

Any
money or U.S. Government Obligation (including the proceeds thereof and the
interest thereon) deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, premium, if any,
or interest on any Security and remaining unclaimed for two years after such
principal, premium, if any, or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company at its option on Company Request (unless otherwise required
by mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
law) or (if then held by the Company) shall (unless otherwise required by
mandatory provision of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property
law) 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 Business Day
and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such
publication, any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid
to the Company.

 

Section 1004.         Statement
by Officers as to Default.  The
Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each
fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’
Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not, to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in 

 

57

 

the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and
conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or
requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in
default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of
which they may have knowledge.

 

Section 1005.         Existence.  Subject to Article Eight, the Company
will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full
force and effect its legal 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
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.

 

Section 1006.         Payment
of Taxes.  The Company will pay or
discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become
delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed
upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or
property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and lawful claims for
labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become a Lien
upon the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or governmental charge
whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not
adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

 

Section 1007.         Limitation
on Liens.  The Company will not, nor
will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary, directly or indirectly, to, create,
issue, assume, incur, or guarantee or become liable with respect to
indebtedness for money borrowed if such indebtedness is secured by a Lien on
any present or future common stock of any Restricted Subsidiary (whether such
shares of common stock are now owned or hereafter acquired) without in any such
case making or causing to be made effective a provision (and the Company
covenants that in any such case it shall make or cause to be made effective
such provision) whereby the Securities, will be secured equally and ratably
with, or prior to, such indebtedness or guarantee; it being understood that in
such event the Company may also so secure any other such indebtedness of the
Company or such Restricted Subsidiary entitled thereto, subject to any
applicable priority of payment.

 

Section 1008.         Waiver
of Certain Covenants.  The Company
may omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision,
covenant or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 901(5) for
the benefit of the Holders or in any of Section 1006 and Section 1007,
with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, 

 

58

 

provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect
such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived,
and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company
and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.

 

Section 1009.         Calculation
of Original Issue Discount.  The
Company shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a
written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including
daily rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the
end of such year and (ii) such other specific information relating
to such original issue discount as may then be relevant under the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended from time to time.

Redemption of Securities

 

Section 1101.         Company’s
Right of Redemption.  Unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of a particular series, and notwithstanding any additional
redemption rights that may be so specified, the Company may, at its option,
redeem the Securities of any series after their date of issuance in whole or in
part at any time and from time to time, subject to the provisions of this Section 1101
and the other provisions of this Article Eleven.  Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 with respect to the Securities of a particular series, the
redemption price for any Security so redeemed shall be equal to 100% of the
principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid
interest up to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however,
that installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date will 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 Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise so specified.

 

Section 1102.         Applicability
of Article.  Redemption of
Securities, as permitted or required by any form of Security issued pursuant to
this Indenture or the documentation providing therefor, shall be made in
accordance with such form of Security or documentation and this Article Eleven;
provided, however, that if any provision of any such form of
Security or documentation shall conflict with any provision of this Article,
the provision of such form of Security or documentation shall govern.  Except as otherwise set forth in the form of
Security for such series or such documentation, each Security shall be subject
to partial redemption only in the amount of $1,000 or integral multiples of
$1,000.

 

Section 1103.         Election
to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.  The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution.  In case
of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of 

 

59

 

a series, the Company shall, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days
prior 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 principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable,
of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. 
In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company which is
subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the Company
shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of
Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

Section 1104.         Selection
by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed. 
If less than all the Securities are to be redeemed (unless such
redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption Date
by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities not previously called for
redemption, by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion shall deem
fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of
a portion of the principal amount of any Security, provided that the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security.  If less
than all the Securities and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to
be redeemed shall be selected not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption
Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities and specified tenor not
previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

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

 

The
provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be
redeemed in whole or in part.  In the
case of any such redemption in part, the unredeemed portion of the principal
amount of the Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not
be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security.

 

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.  If the Company shall so direct, Securities
registered in the name of the Company, any Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof
shall not be included in the Securities selected for redemption.

 

Section 1105.         Notice
of Redemption.  Unless otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the Securities of
a particular series, notice of 

 

60

 

redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed
not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each
Holder of Securities to be redeemed, at its address appearing in the Security
Register.  Unless the Company defaults in
payment of the Redemption Price, on and after the Redemption Date, interest
shall cease to accrue on the Securities.

 

All
notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)           the Redemption Date;

 

(2)           the Redemption Price, or if not then
ascertainable, the manner of calculation thereof;

 

(3)           if less than all the Outstanding
Securities consisting of more than a single Security are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption of any such Securities,
the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less
than all the Outstanding Securities consisting of a single Security are to be
redeemed, the principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed;

 

(4)           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;

 

(5)           the place or places where each such
Security is to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price; and

 

(6)           the CUSIP numbers, if any.

 

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; provided
that, in the latter case, the Company will give the Trustee at least 10 days
prior notice of the date of the giving of such notice.  The notice if 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, a failure to give such notice by mail or any defect in the notice to the
Holder of any Security designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall
not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other
Security.

 

Section 1106.         Deposit
of Redemption Price.  Prior to 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 1003) an amount
of money sufficient to pay the 

 

61

 

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.

 

Section 1107.         Securities
Payable on Redemption Date.  Notice
of redemption having been given pursuant to Section 1005, the Securities
to be so 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 or accrue any 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 any accrued but unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date will 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 Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307, unless in connection with a Redemption Date
falling on an Interest Payment Date, the Securities of the particular series
provide that interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that is a Redemption
Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.

 

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 1108.         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, a new Security
or Securities 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 TWELVE

 

Defeasance and
Covenant Defeasance

 

Section 1201.         Company’s
Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Company may elect, at its option at any
time, to have Section 1202 or Section 1203 applied to any Securities
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.  Any such election shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution.

 

Section 1202.         Defeasance
and Discharge.  Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities, the Company shall be 

 

62

 

deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1204 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 such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations
under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company and upon Company
Request, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to
the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged
hereunder:  (1) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Section 304, Section 305,
Section 306, Section 1002 and Section 1003; (2) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder,
including but not limited to those enumerated under Section 601, Section 603
and Section 607; and (3) this Article.  Subject to compliance with this Article, the
Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to
any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to
have Section 1203 applied to such Securities.

 

Section 1203.         Covenant
Defeasance.  Upon the Company’s
exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities (1) the Company shall be released from its obligations
under Section 801, Section 1006 and Section 1007, and any
covenants provided pursuant to Section 901(5) for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities; and (2) the occurrence of any event
specified in Section 501(3) (with respect to any of Section 801,
Section 1006 and Section 1007, and any such covenants provided
pursuant to Section 901(5)) shall be deemed not to be or result in an
Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in
this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1204
are satisfied (hereinafter called “Covenant Defeasance”).  For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance
means that, with respect to such 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 501(3)), 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
Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

 

Notwithstanding
any Covenant Defeasance with respect to Section 801, any Person that would
otherwise have been required to assume the obligations of the Company pursuant
to said Section shall be required, as a condition to any merger,
consolidation, conveyance, transfer or lease contemplated thereby, to assume
the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 607 and Section 1205.

 

Section 1204.         Conditions
to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance. 
The following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1202
or Section 1203 to any Securities:

 

63

 

(1)           The Company shall irrevocably have
deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which
satisfies the requirements contemplated by Section 609 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 Securities, (A) money, or (B) 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, or (C) a combination
thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient 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 any premium and interest on such Securities
due on or before the respective Stated Maturities or the Redemption Date, in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities; provided
that the Trustee shall have the right (but not the obligation) to require the
Company to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification, or other
evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, as to the sufficiency of deposits made by
the Company pursuant to this Section.

 

(2)           In the event of an election to have Section 1202
apply to any Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from,
or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since
the date of this instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal
income tax law, in the case of either (A) or (B) to the effect that,
and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders of such
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 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.

 

(3)           In the event of an election to have Section 1203
apply to any Securities, the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such 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 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.

 

(4)           No event which is, or after notice or
lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such
Securities or any other

 

64

 

Securities shall have occurred and be continuing at
the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Section 501(4) and
Section 501(5), 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).

 

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

 

(6)           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 the Investment Company Act or exempt from
registration thereunder.

 

(7)           If such Securities are to be redeemed
prior to Stated Maturity (other than from mandatory sinking fund payments or
analogous payments), notice of such redemption shall have been duly given pursuant
to this Indenture or provision therefor satisfactory to the Trustee shall have
been made.

 

(8)           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 1205.         Deposited
Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including
the proceeds thereof and the interest thereon) deposited with the Trustee or
other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1206,
the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 1204 in respect of any Securities shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium 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 Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1204 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.

 

65

 

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
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1204 with respect
to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee or in the opinion of such other Persons delivered to
the Trustee as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which may be the
same opinion delivered to the Trustee under Section 1204(1)), 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 Securities.

 

Section 1206.         Reinstatement.  If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable
to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any
Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or Governmental
Authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application,
then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the
Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1202 or Section 1203
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant
to Section 1205 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this
Article; provided, however, that if the Company makes any payment
of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such
reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights
(if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money so held in trust.

 

Section 1207.         Qualifying
Trustee.  Any trustee appointed
pursuant to Section 1204 for the purpose of holding trust funds deposited
pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement in form
acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a certificate of
such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be entitled to
conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for herein to the
related Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.  In no event shall the Trustee be liable for
any acts or omissions of said trustee.

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.

FORM OF
REVERSE OF SECURITY

 

This
Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein
called the “Securities”), issued and to be issued in one or more series
under a Senior Indenture, dated as of
                                
as supplemented and amended from time to time (herein called the “Indenture”),
between the Company, Principal Financial Services, Inc., as guarantor
(herein called the “Subsidiary Guarantor,” as such term is further
defined in the Indenture), and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.,
as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective
rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company,
the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of
the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered.  This Security is one of the
series designated on the face hereof [if applicable insert —, limited in
aggregate principal amount to $
                      ].

 

All
terms used in this Security that are defined in the Indenture shall have the
meaning assigned to them in the Indenture.

 

[If
applicable, insert — The Securities of this series are subject to redemption
upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice by mail, at any time [on or
after
                                ],
as a whole or in part, at the election of the Company.  The Redemption Price for any Security so
redeemed shall be equal to 100% of the principal amount of such Securities then
Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest up to but not including the date
fixed for redemption.  In the event of
redemption of this Security in part only, a new Security or Securities of this
series for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the
Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.]

 

[Installments
of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the
Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of the Securities of this
series, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close
of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms.]

 

The
Indenture contains provisions for satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of the
entire indebtedness on this security, upon compliance by the Company with
certain conditions set forth therein.

 

[If
the Security is not an Original Issue Discount Security, — If an Event of
Default with respect to Securities of this series shall occur and be
continuing, the principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.]  [If the security is an Original Issue
Discount Security, — If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of this
series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities
of this series may be 

 

A-4

 

declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in
the Indenture.  Such amount shall be
equal to — insert formula for determining the amount.

 

Upon
payment of the amount of principal so declared due and payable [if applicable
insert — and of interest on any overdue principal and overdue interest (in each
case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable)], all of the Company’s obligations in respect of the payment of
the principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall
terminate.]

the securities of this series are not guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor,
insert — The Subsidiary Guarantor shall not guarantee the obligations of the
Company under this Security.]  [If the
securities of this series are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantor, insert —
The Subsidiary Guarantor shall guarantee, on an unsecured senior 

basis,
the obligations of the Company this Security, subject to the terms, conditions
and limitations provided in the Indenture and the subsidiary guarantee dated
                  .]

 

The
Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment
thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and
the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be affected under
the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at the time
Outstanding of each series to be affected. 
The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of
specified percentages in principal amount of the Securities of each series at
the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such
series, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their
consequences.  Any such consent or waiver
by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder
and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon
the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof,
whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

 

No
reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the
Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or
currency, herein prescribed.

 

As
provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon
surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency
of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the
Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of this 

 

A-5

 

series, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

 

The
Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form without coupons
in denominations of
$                  
and in multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No
service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

 

The
Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

THIS
SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

EACH
OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL
PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE INDENTURE, THIS SECURITY OR THE

existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (the “Company,” as
further defined in the Original Indenture hereinafter referred to), PRINCIPAL
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the
laws of the State of Iowa, as guarantor (the “Guarantor,” as further
defined in the Original Indenture hereinafter referred to), and THE BANK OF NEW
YORK MELLON TRUST COMPANY, N.A., a national banking association incorporated
and existing under the laws of the United States of America, as trustee (the “Trustee,”
as further defined in the Original Indenture hereinafter referred to).

 

WHEREAS, the Company, the Guarantor and the
Trustee have heretofore entered into an Indenture, dated as of May 21,
2009 (the “Original Indenture”), with the Trustee;

 

WHEREAS, the Original Indenture is
incorporated herein by this reference and the Original Indenture, as
supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture, is herein called the “Indenture”;

 

WHEREAS, Section 301 of the Original
Indenture provides for various matters with respect to Securities issued under
the Original Indenture to be established in an indenture supplemental to the
Original Indenture;

 

WHEREAS, Section 901(4) of the
Original Indenture permits the execution and delivery of a supplemental
indenture without the consent of any Holders to establish the form or terms of
Securities of any series;

 

WHEREAS, the Company proposes to create under
the Indenture a new series of Securities;

 

WHEREAS, the Guarantor will fully and
unconditionally guarantee the obligations of the Company under the new series
of Securities in accordance with the provisions of the Indenture; and

 

WHEREAS, all the conditions and requirements
necessary to make this First Supplemental Indenture, when duly executed and
delivered, a valid and binding agreement in accordance with its terms and for
the purposes herein expressed have been performed and fulfilled.

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the
agreements and obligations set forth herein and for other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties
hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1

 

ARTICLE I

THE SERIES OF SECURITIES

 

SECTION 1.1.            Establishment.

 

There is hereby established a new series of
Securities to be issued under the Indenture, to be designated as the Company’s “7.875%
Senior Notes due 2014” (the “Senior Notes”).

 

The initial limit upon the aggregate
principal amount of the Senior Notes that may be authenticated and delivered
under the Indenture (except for (i) Senior Notes authenticated and
delivered upon registration or transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of,
other Senior Notes pursuant to Sections 304, 305, 306, 906 or 1108 of the
Original Indenture, and (ii) any Senior Notes which, pursuant to Section 303
of the Original Indenture, are deemed never to have been authenticated and
delivered thereunder) is $400,000,000; provided, however, that
the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes may be increased in the
future, without the consent of the holders of the Senior Notes, on the same
terms and with the same CUSIP and ISIN  numbers
as the Senior Notes, except that the issue price, the first interest payment
date and the issue date may vary.

 

The Senior Notes shall be issued in the form
of one or more Global Securities in substantially the form set forth in Exhibit A
hereto.  The Depositary with respect to
the Senior Notes shall be The Depository Trust Company.

 

SECTION 1.2.            Definitions.

 

The following defined terms used herein
shall, unless the context otherwise requires, have the meanings specified
below.  Capitalized terms used herein for
which no definition is provided herein shall have the meanings set forth in the
Original Indenture.

 

“Interest Payment Date” means May 15
and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2009.

 

“Regular Record Date” mean, the May 1
or November 1 of each year (whether or not a Business Day) immediately
preceding the related Interest Payment Date.

 

SECTION 1.3.            Payment of Principal, Premium, if
any, and Interest.

 

The Senior Notes will mature on May 15,
2014.  The Senior Notes shall bear
interest at the rate of 7.875% per annum from May 21, 2009.  Interest shall be paid semi-annually on each
Interest Payment Date, commencing November 15, 2009, to the Person in
whose name the Senior Notes are registered on the Regular Record Date for 

 

2

 

such Interest
Payment Date.  Any such interest that is
not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable
to the holders on such Regular Record Date and may be paid as provided in Section 307
of the Original Indenture.

 

Principal of, and premium, if any, and
interest on the Senior Notes will be payable, and transfers of the Senior Notes
will be registrable, at the Company’s office or agency in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, which initially shall be the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee.  Transfers of the
Senior Notes will also be registrable at any of the Company’s other offices or
agencies that it may maintain for that purpose.

 

SECTION 1.4.            Denominations.

 

The Senior Notes may be issued in
denominations of $2,000 or any multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

 

SECTION 1.5.            No Sinking Fund.

 

The Senior Notes are not entitled to the
benefit of any sinking fund.

 

SECTION 1.6.            Global Securities.

 

The Senior Notes will be issued in the form
of one or more Global Securities registered in the name of the Depositary or
its nominee.  Except under the limited
circumstances described below, Senior Notes represented by Global Securities
will not be exchangeable for, and will not otherwise be issuable as, Senior
Notes in definitive form.  The Global
Securities described above may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary, or by a nominee of the Depositary to
the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or
any such nominee to a successor Depositary or its nominee.

 

Owners of beneficial interests in such Global
Securities will not be considered the holders thereof for any purpose under the
Indenture, and no Global Security representing a Senior Note shall be
exchangeable, except for another Global Security of like denomination and tenor
to be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee or to a successor
Depositary or its nominee.  The rights of
holders of such Global Securities shall be exercised only through the
Depositary.

 

A Global Security shall be exchangeable for
Senior Notes registered in the names of Persons other than the Depositary or
its nominee only as provided by Section 305 of the Original
Indenture.  Any Global Security that is
exchangeable pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for
Senior Notes registered in such names as the Depositary shall direct.

 

3

 

SECTION 1.7.            Transfer.

 

No service charge will be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Senior Notes, but payment will be
required of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in connection therewith.

 

SECTION 1.8.            Defeasance.

 

The provisions of Sections 1202 and 1203 of
the Original Indenture will apply to the Senior Notes.

 

SECTION 1.9.            Optional Redemption.

 

The Senior Notes will be redeemable, at the
option of the Company, in whole at any time or in part from time to time (a “Redemption
Date”), at a redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) equal to the
greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed
or (ii) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining
scheduled payments of principal and interest on the Senior Notes to be
redeemed, not including any portion of the payments of interest accrued as of
such Redemption Date, discounted to such Redemption Date on a semiannual basis
(assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury
Rate, plus 50  basis points, as calculated by an
Independent Investment Banker; plus in each case, accrued and unpaid interest on
the Senior Notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, such Redemption Date.

 

If the Company has given notice as provided
in the Original Indenture and made funds available for the redemption of any
Senior Notes called for redemption on the Redemption Date referred to in that
notice, those Senior Notes will cease to bear interest on that Redemption
Date.  Any interest accrued to the date
fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in such notice.  The Company will give written notice of any
redemption of any Senior Notes to holders of the Senior Notes to be redeemed at
their addresses, as shown in the security register for the Senior Notes, at
least 30 days and not more than 60 days prior to the date fixed for
redemption.  The notice of redemption
will specify, among other items, the date fixed for redemption, the redemption
price and the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Notes to be redeemed.

 

If the Company chooses to redeem less than
all of the Senior Notes, the particular Senior Notes to be redeemed shall be
selected by the Trustee not more than 45 days prior to the Redemption
Date.  The Trustee will select the method
in its sole discretion, in such manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair,
for the Senior Notes to be redeemed in part.

 

“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the
United States Treasury security selected by the Independent Investment Banker
as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Senior Notes to be
redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection 

 

4

 

and in
accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of
corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of the
Senior Notes.

 

“Comparable Treasury Price” means,
with respect to any Redemption Date for the Senior Notes, the average of the
Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Redemption Date, after excluding
the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or if the
Company obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the
average of all such quotations.

 

“Independent Investment Banker” means
an independent investment banking institution of national standing appointed by
the Company.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer” means each
of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC, Deutsche
Bank Securities Inc. and two other primary U.S government securities dealers
(each, a “Primary Treasury Dealer”), as specified by the Company;
provided that if any of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Credit Suisse Securities
(USA) LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or any Primary Treasury Dealer as
specified by the Company shall cease to be a Primary Treasury Dealer, the
Company will substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

 

“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations”
means, with respect to the Reference Treasury Dealer and any Redemption Date,
the average, as determined by the Company, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed, in each case, as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Company by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day
preceding such Redemption Date.

 

“Treasury Rate” means the rate per
year equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable
Treasury Issue, calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue
(expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable
Treasury Price for such Redemption Date. 
The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third business day
preceding the Redemption Date.

 

SECTION 1.10.          Events of Default.

 

In addition to
the Events of Default set forth in Section 501 of the Original Indenture,
each of the following will also constitute an “Event of Default” for the Senior
Notes:

 

·                                          default for 30

the Guarantor;

 

·                                          default in the

the Guarantee by the Guarantor;

Indenture or the Guarantee (other than a covenant or warranty a default in the
performance of which or the breach of which is specifically dealt with
elsewhere in this Section), and continuance of such default or breach for a
period of 90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail,
to the Guarantor by the Trustee or to the Guarantor and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach
and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “Notice of
Default” hereunder;

 

·                                          the entry of a

seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect
of the Guarantor under any applicable Federal or State bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization or other similar law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator,
assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Guarantor or

PRINCIPAL FINANCIAL GROUP, INC., a
corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware (hereinafter
called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the

(FORM OF REVERSE OF SECURITY)

 

This Security is one of a duly authorized
issue of securities of the Company (herein called the “Securities”),
issued and to be issued in one or more series under a Senior Indenture, dated
as of May 21, 2009, as supplemented and amended from time to time (herein
called the “Indenture”), between the Company, Principal Financial
Services, Inc., as guarantor (herein called the “Guarantor,” as
such term is further defined in the Indenture), and The Bank of New York Mellon
Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term
includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), including by the First
Supplemental Indenture thereto dated as of May 21, 2009 among the Company,
the Guarantor and the Trustee (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for
a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the
Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and
are to be, authenticated and delivered. 
This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof,
initially limited in aggregate principal amount to $400,000,000.

 

All terms used in this Security that are
defined in the Indenture shall have the meaning assigned to them in the
Indenture.

 

The Securities of this series will be
redeemable, at the option of the Company, as set forth in Section 1.9 of
the Supplemental Indenture.

 

The Indenture contains provisions for
satisfaction, discharge and defeasance of the entire indebtedness on this
security, upon compliance by the Company with certain conditions set forth
therein.

 

If an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of this series shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the
Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and
with the effect provided in the Indenture.

 

Upon payment of the amount of principal so
declared due and payable and of interest on any overdue principal and overdue
interest at the rate per annum applicable to the Securities of this series set
forth on the face hereof (in each case to the extent that the payment of such
interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company’s obligations in
respect of the payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on the
Securities of this series shall terminate.

 

The Indenture permits, with certain
exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of
the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the
Securities of each series to be affected under the Indenture at any time by the
Company and the Trustee with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be
affected.  The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the 

 

A-5

 

Company with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences.  Any
such consent or waiver by the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holders and upon all future Holders of
Securities of such series and of any Security issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Securities.

 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no
provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the
obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security at the times,
place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to
certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is
registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for
registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place
where the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on this Security are
payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed
by, the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon
one or more new Securities of this series, of authorized denominations and for
the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

 

The Securities of this series are issuable
only in registered form without coupons in denominations of $2,000 and in
multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate
principal amount of Securities of this series of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.

 

No service charge shall be made for any such
registration of transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in
connection therewith.

 

The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is
registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security
be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The Guarantor shall guarantee, on an
unsecured senior basis, the obligations of the Company under this Security,
subject to the terms, conditions and limitations provided in the Indenture and
the Guarantee, dated as of May 21, 2009, from the Guarantor to the
Trustee, relating to this Security.

 

THIS SECURITY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

 

EACH OF THE COMPANY AND THE TRUSTEE HEREBY

ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING

does hereby waive, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, all
rights and benefits which might accrue to the Guarantor by reason of any such
proceedings;

Guarantor;

 

(m)          any other
circumstances which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge
or defense of a surety or a guarantor; or

whatsoever, whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing.

 

SECTION 2.3         No Waiver or Set-Off.

 

The Guarantor agrees that, to the maximum
extent permitted by law, (a) no act of commission or omission of
any kind or at any time on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the
Securities, or their successors and assigns, in respect of any matter whatsoever
shall in any way impair the rights of the Trustee or such Holders to enforce
any right, power or benefit under this Guarantee, and (b) no
set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any

or successor thereof shall be available hereunder to the Guarantor.

 

SECTION 2.4         Waiver of Notice; Expenses.

 

The Guarantor hereby expressly waives notice
from the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities of their acceptance and
reliance on this Guarantee. The Guarantor further waives, to the maximum extent
permitted by law, any right that it may have (a) to require the

the Holders of the Securities may have against the Company until all of the
Guaranteed Obligations shall have been finally, indefeasibly and
unconditionally paid in full. Any claim of the Guarantor against the Company
arising 

 

B-5

 

from payments
made by the Guarantor by reason of this Guarantee shall be in all respects
subordinated to the final, indefeasible, unconditional, full and complete
payment or discharge of all of the Guaranteed Obligations guaranteed hereby.

Guarantor in respect of any of the Securities is rescinded or must otherwise be
restored or returned by the Trustee or any Holder of such Securities for any
reason whatsoever, whether upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution,
liquidation or reorganization of the Company, or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar
officer for the Company or any substantial part of its properties, or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.

ARTICLE V

MISCELLANEOUS

 

SECTION 5.1         Effective Date; Termination.

 

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder

delivery of and authentication of the Securities. Subject to Section 2.6,
this Guarantee shall terminate on such date as the Indenture is discharged and
satisfied.

 

SECTION 5.2         Evidence of Compliance with Conditions Precedent.

 

The Guarantor shall provide the Trustee with
such evidence of compliance with such conditions precedent, if any, provided

SECTION 5.3         Remedies Not Exclusive.

 

No remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or Holders of the Securities is intended to be exclusive of any
other available remedy or remedies, but, to the maximum extent permitted by
law, each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to
every other remedy given under this Guarantee or now or hereafter existing at
law or in equity. No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing
upon any default, omission or failure of performance hereunder shall impair any
such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver thereof, but any such
right or power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed
expedient. In order to entitle the Trustee and Holders of the Securities to
exercise any remedy reserved 

 

B-9

 

to any of them
in this Guarantee, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, it shall
not be necessary to give any notice. In the event any provision contained in
this Guarantee should be breached, and thereafter duly waived, such waiver
shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to
waive any other breach hereunder. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, no waiver, amendment, release or modification of this Guarantee shall be
established by conduct, custom or course of dealing, but solely by an
instrument in writing duly executed by the parties to this Guarantee and
consistent with the terms of the Indenture.

 

SECTION 5.4         Limitation of Guarantor’s Liability.

 

Any term or provision of this Guarantee
notwithstanding, the Guarantee shall not exceed the maximum amount that can be
guaranteed by the Guarantor without rendering the Guarantee voidable under
applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer or
similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

SECTION 5.5         Entire Agreement; Counterparts.

 

This Guarantee constitutes the entire
agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written
and oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and may
be executed simultaneously in several counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

 

SECTION 5.6         Severability.

 

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable
law, the invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more phrases, sentences,
clauses or sections contained in this Guarantee shall not affect the validity
or enforceability of the remaining portions of this Guarantee, or any part
thereof.

 

SECTION 5.7         Governing Law.

 

THIS GUARANTEE SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Guarantee
is subject to the Trust Indenture Act and if any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is
