The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities
held by the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of the
commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same may also be
proved in any other manner which the Company, the Guarantors and the Trustee
deem sufficient.

 

(5)           If the Company shall solicit from the
Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option
(but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution fix in advance a record date for
the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act.  If such a record date is fixed,
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other Act may be given before or after such record date, but only the Holders
of Registered Securities of record at the close of business on such record date
shall be deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders of
the requisite proportion of Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or
consented to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be
computed as of such record date; provided that no such authorization, agreement
or consent by the Holders of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective
unless it shall become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture
not later than six months after the record date.

 

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

Section 105.                                Notices, etc., to Trustee, Company and Guarantors.

 

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

 

(1)           the
Trustee by any Holder, a Guarantor or the Company shall be sufficient for every
purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the
Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office, or

 

(2)           the
Company or a Guarantor by the Trustee or any Holder shall be sufficient for
every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or such
Guarantor, as the case may be, addressed to the attention of its Chief
Financial Officer at the address of the Company’s principal office specified in
the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or such Guarantor, as the
case may be.

 

Section 106.                                Notice to Holders of Securities; Waiver.

 

Except as otherwise expressly provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of
Securities of any event,

 

(1)           such
notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered
Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

 

(2)           such
notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if
published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if such
Securities are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in
an Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee
that such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the
first such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second
such publication not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of
such notice.

 

In any case where notice to Holders of Registered
Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any
defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder of a Registered
Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of any notice to Holders of
Bearer Securities given as provided herein. 
Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be
conclusively presumed to have been duly given or provided.  In the case by reason of the suspension of
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder.

 

15

 

In case by reason of the suspension of publication of
any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice to Holders of Bearer
Securities as provided above, then such notification to Holders of Bearer
Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute
sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.  Neither failure to give notice by publication
to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, nor any defect in any notice
so published, shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to Holders of
Registered Securities as provided above.

 

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 of Securities 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.

 

Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding,
unless otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture or pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of any series, if a Depository or its nominee is
the Holder of any Security, then any notice given to such Depository or its
nominee, as the case may be, in respect of such Security may be given by the
Company or the Trustee electronically in accordance with the procedures of such
Depository as in effect from time to time in lieu of giving notice to such
Depository or such nominee, as the case may be, by mail and all references in
this Indenture to the mailing of any such notice shall be deemed to mean,
solely as concerns the notice given by the Company or the Trustee to such
Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, the electronic transmission of
such notice as aforesaid, mutatis mutandis.

 

Section 107.                                Language of Notices.

 

Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, election or waiver required or permitted under this Indenture shall be
in the English language, except that, if the Company so elects, any published
notice may be in an official language of the country of publication.

 

Section 108.                                Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.

 

If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts
with any duties under any required provision of the Trust Indenture Act imposed
hereon by Section 318(c) thereof, such required provision shall
control.

 

Section 109.                                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.

 

Section 110.                                Successors and Assigns.

 

All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the
Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

16

 

Section 111.                                Separability Clause.

 

In case any provision in this Indenture, any Security
or any Coupon shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

Section 112.                                Benefits of Indenture.

 

Nothing in this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon,
express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto,
any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent and their successors hereunder and the
Holders of Securities or Coupons, any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.

 

Section 113.                                Governing Law.

 

This Indenture, the Securities, any Guarantees
endorsed on the Securities and any Coupons shall be governed by and construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York applicable to agreements
made or instruments entered into and, in each case, performed in said State.

 

Section 114.                                Legal Holidays.

 

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture or any Securities, in any case where any Interest Payment Date,
Stated Maturity or Maturity of, or any other day on which a payment is due with
respect to, any Security shall be a day which is not a Business Day at any
Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture,
any Security or any Coupon other than a provision in any Security or Coupon or
in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture
establishing the terms of any Security that specifically states that such
provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be made at such Place of
Payment on such date, but such payment may be made on the next succeeding day
that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect
as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at the Stated Maturity or Maturity or
on any such other payment date, as the case may be, and no interest shall
accrue on the amount payable on such date or at such time for the period from
and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Maturity or other
payment date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 115.                                Counterparts.

 

This Indenture may be executed in several
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

 

Section 116.                                Judgment Currency.

 

Each of the Company and each Guarantor agrees,
severally and not jointly, to the fullest extent that it may effectively do so
under applicable law, that (a) if for the purpose of obtaining judgment
against it in any court, it is necessary to convert the sum due in respect of
the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts on the
Securities of any series (in the case of the Company) or any Guarantee of such
Guarantor (in the case of such Guarantor), as the 

 

17

 

case may be (the
“Required Currency”), into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the
“Judgment Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in
accordance with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The
City of New York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New
York Banking Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment is given
and (b) its obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the
Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged or satisfied by any tender,
or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or not entered in accordance
with clause (a)), in any currency other than the Required Currency, except to
the extent that such tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by
the payee, of the full amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable
in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative
or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of
the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall
not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this
Indenture.  For purposes of the
foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in The City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
The City of New York are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or
executive order to be closed.  The
provisions of this Section 116 shall not be applicable with respect to any
payment due on a Security or Guarantee which is payable in Dollars.

 

Section 117.                                Extension of Payment Dates.

 

In the event that (i) the terms of any Security
or Coupon appertaining thereto or any Guarantee established in or pursuant to
this Indenture permit the Company, any Guarantor or any Holder thereof to
extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such
Security, Coupon or Guarantee, as the case may be, is due and payable and (ii) the
due date for any such payment shall have been so extended, then all references
herein to the Stated Maturity of such payment (and all references of like
import) shall be deemed to refer to the date as so extended.

 

Section 118.                                Immunity of Shareholders, Directors, Officers and Agents of the Company
and Any Guarantor.

 

No recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or
agreement contained in this Indenture or in any Security or Guarantee, or
because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, or for any claim based thereon
or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any past, present or
future shareholder, incorporator, employee, officer or director, as such, of
the Company or any Guarantor or any predecessor or successor to the Company or
any Guarantor, either directly or through the Company or any Guarantor or any
such predecessor or successor, under any rule of law, statute or
constitutional provision or by the enforcement of any assessment or by any
legal or equitable proceeding or otherwise, all such liability being expressly
waived and released by the acceptance of the Securities by the Holders and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Securities; it being expressly
understood that, without limitation to the foregoing, this Indenture, the
Securities and the Guarantees and the obligations created hereunder and
thereunder are solely corporate, limited liability company, partnership,
limited partnership or similar obligations, as the case may be, of the Company
and the respective Guarantors and that no such personal liability whatever
shall attach to, or is or shall be incurred by, any past, present or future
shareholder, incorporator, employee, officer or director, as such, of the
Company or any 

 

18

 

Guarantor or any of their
respective predecessors or successors, or any of them, because of the creation
of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the
obligations, covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any
Security or Guarantee or implied herefrom or therefrom and that any and all
such personal liability of every type and nature, either at common law or in
equity or by constitution or statute, of, and any and all such rights and
claims against, every such past, present or future shareholder, incorporator,
employee, officer or director, as such, because of the creation of the
indebtedness hereby authorized, or under or by reason of the obligations,
covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any Security or
Guarantee or implied herefrom or therefrom, are hereby expressly waived and
released as a condition of, and as a consideration for, the execution of this
Indenture and the issuance of the Securities. 
As used in this Section 118, all references to “shareholders” shall
be deemed to mean, with respect to any Person, any  past, present or future holder or owner of an
equity interest in such Person, including, without limitation, owners or
holders of capital stock, limited or general partnership interests and limited
liability company interests.

of all Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is
permitted by the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon or reflected
on the books and records of the Trustee and may also provide that the aggregate

Company with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing but need
not be accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, in the event
a global Security is exchangeable for definitive Securities as provided in Section 305,
then, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver such
global Security to the extent necessary to effect such exchanges, shall endorse
such global Security to reflect any decrease in the principal amount thereto
resulting from such exchanges and shall take such other actions, all as
contemplated by Section 305.

covenants of the Company or any Guarantors with respect to such Securities or
the related Guarantees (whether or not such Events of Default or covenants are
consistent with the Events of Default or covenants set forth herein), and, if
any additional covenants not contained in this Indenture as of its date shall
be applicable with respect to such Securities, whether Section 1006 shall
be applicable with respect to any such additional covenants;

 

(19)         if
any one or more of Section 401 relating to satisfaction and
discharge,  Section 402(2) relating
to defeasance or Section 402(3) relating to covenant defeasance shall
not be applicable to the Securities of such series, and any covenants in
addition to or other than those covenants, if any, specified in Section 402(3) relating
to the Securities of such series which shall be subject to covenant defeasance,
and, if the Securities of such series are subject to repurchase or repayment at
the option of the Holders thereof pursuant to Article Thirteen, if the
Company’s obligation to repurchase or repay such Securities will not be subject
to satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Section 401 or to defeasance
pursuant to Section 402, and, if the Holders of such Securities have the
right to convert or exchange such Securities into Common Shares or other
securities or property, if the right to effect such conversion or exchange will
be subject to satisfaction and discharge pursuant to Section 401 or to
defeasance or covenant defeasance pursuant to Section 402, and any
deletions from, or modifications or additions to, the provisions of Article Four
in respect of the Securities of such series;

 

(20)         if
any of such Securities are to be issuable upon the exercise of warrants, and the
time, manner and place for such Securities to be authenticated and delivered;

 

(21)         if
any of such Securities are issuable in global form and are to be issuable in
definitive form (whether upon original issue or upon exchange of a temporary
Security) only upon receipt of certain certificates or other documents or
satisfaction of other conditions, then the form and terms of such certificates,
documents or conditions;

 

(22)         whether
and under what circumstances the Company or any Guarantor of such Securities
will pay Additional Amounts on such Securities or its Guarantee of such
Securities, as the case may be, to any Holder who is a United States Alien in
respect of specified taxes, assessments or other government charges and, if so,
whether the Company will have the option to redeem such Securities rather than
pay such Additional Amounts;

 

(23)         if
there is more than one Trustee, the identity of the Trustee and, if not the
Trustee, the identity of each Security Registrar, Paying Agent or
Authenticating Agent with respect to such Securities;

 

(24)         the
Person to whom any interest on any Registered Security of such series shall be
payable, if other than the Person in whose name the Registered Security (or one

 

24

 

or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, the manner in which, or the Person to
whom, any interest on any Bearer Security of such series shall be payable, if
other than upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto
as they severally mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any
interest payable on a temporary global Security will be paid if other than in
the manner provided in this Indenture;

 

(25)         the
names of the Guarantors of the Securities of such series (which may, but need
not, include any or all of the Initial Guarantors) and the terms of the
Guarantees of the Securities of such series, including, without limitation, any
deletions from, or modifications or additions to, the provisions of Article Sixteen
or any other provisions of this Indenture in connection with the Guarantees of
the Securities of such series;

 

(26)         whether
the Securities of such series or any Guarantees of such Securities are to be
secured by any property, assets or other collateral and, if so, the applicable
collateral, any deletions from, or modifications or additions to, the
provisions of Article Seventeen hereof or any other provisions of this
Indenture in connection therewith or in connection with any other instrument or
agreement entered into in connection therewith; and

 

(27)         any
other terms of such Securities and the Guarantees of such Securities (whether
or not such other terms are consistent or inconsistent with any other terms of
this Indenture) and any deletions from or modifications or additions to this
Indenture in respect of such Securities or such Guarantees.

 

All Securities of any one series and all Coupons, if
any, appertaining to Bearer Securities of such series shall be substantially
identical except as to Currency of payments due thereunder, denomination and
the rate of interest, or method of determining the rate of interest, if any,
Maturity, and the date from which interest, if any, shall accrue and except as
may otherwise be provided by the Company in or pursuant to the Board Resolution
and set forth in the Officers’ Certificate or in any indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto pertaining to such series of Securities.  The terms of the Securities of any series may
provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon written or
(if acceptable to the Trustee) oral order of persons designated in the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture, as the case may
be, pertaining to such series of Securities (telephonic instructions to be
promptly confirmed in writing by such person) and that such persons are
authorized to determine, consistent with such Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the
Securities of such series as are specified in such Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture. 
All Securities of any one series need not be issued at the same time
and, unless otherwise provided by the Company as contemplated by this Section 301,
a series may be reopened from time to time without the consent of any Holders
for issuances of additional Securities of such series.

 

If any of the terms of the Securities of any series or
any Guarantee of the Securities of any series shall be established by action
taken by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions or Guarantor’s Board
Resolutions, such Board Resolutions and Guarantor’s Board Resolutions 

 

25

 

shall be delivered to the
Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’ Certificate and the
Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.

 

Section 302.                                Currency; Denominations.

 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in Dollars.  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture, Registered Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable
in registered form without Coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral
multiples thereof, and the Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars shall be
issuable in the denomination of $5,000. 
Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such
denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant
to this Indenture.

 

Section 303.                                Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company
by its Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice
Presidents and by its Treasurer, one of its Assistant Treasurers, its Secretary
or one of its Assistant Secretaries and may (but need not) have its corporate
or other seal or a facsimile thereof reproduced thereon.  Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the
Company by its Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or any of
its Vice Presidents.  The signature of
any of these officers on the Securities or any Coupons appertaining thereto may
be manual or facsimile.

 

If any Guarantees are to be endorsed on or attached to
any Securities, and if such Guarantees provide for the execution thereof by the
applicable Guarantors (it being understood and agreed that any such Guarantee
may, but need not, provide for the execution by the applicable Guarantors),
such Guarantees shall be executed on behalf of each applicable Guarantor by its
Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief Financial
Officer, one of its Vice Presidents or any other duly authorized officer of
such Guarantor and may (but need not) have its corporate or other seal or
facsimile thereof reproduced thereon. 
The signature of any of these officers on any Guarantee may be manual or
facsimile.

 

Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and
any Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who
were at any time the proper officers of the Company or the applicable Guarantor,
as the case may be, shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, bind the
Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Securities or Coupons.

 

At any time and from time to time after the execution
and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, together
with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by the Company, to the Trustee
for authentication and, provided that the Board Resolution and Officers’
Certificate (and each Guarantor’s Board Resolution and Guarantor’s Officers’
Certificate) or supplemental indenture or indentures with respect to such
Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities have been delivered to the
Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and subject to 

 

26

 

the provisions hereof and
of such Securities shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.  In authenticating such Securities, and
accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to the applicable provisions of Sections 315(a) through
315(d) of the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying
upon, an Opinion of Counsel to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel
may contain such assumptions, qualifications and limitations as such counsel
shall deem appropriate:

 

(a)           the
form or forms and terms of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have been
established in conformity with Sections 201 and 301 of this Indenture; and

 

(b)           all
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 201, 301 and 303 of this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto have been complied with and that such Securities, and
Coupons, when completed by appropriate insertions (if applicable), executed by
duly authorized officers of the Company, delivered by duly authorized officers
of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture, and
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may
be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

 

If all the Securities of any series are not to be
issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver an Opinion of Counsel
at the time of issuance of each Security, but such opinion, with such
modifications as counsel shall deem appropriate, shall be delivered at or
before the time of issuance of the first Security of such series.  After any such first delivery, any separate
request by the Company that the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series
for original issue will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that all
conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication
and delivery of such Securities continue to have been complied with.

 

The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate or
to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate any Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own
rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or
otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee or if
the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not
lawfully be taken.

 

Each Registered Security shall be dated the date of
its authentication.  Each Bearer Security
and any Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified
in or pursuant to this Indenture.

 

No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto shall be
entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any
purpose, unless there appears on such Security a 

 

27

 

certificate of
authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 202 or
611 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent by
the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories.  Such certificate upon any Security shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. 
Except as permitted by Section 306 or 307 or as may otherwise be
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Trustee shall not authenticate
and deliver any Bearer Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then
matured have been detached and cancelled.

 

Section 304.                                Temporary Securities.

 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the
Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee and, upon Company Order, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the manner provided in Section 303,
temporary Securities in lieu thereof which are printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu
of which they are issued, in registered form or, if authorized in or pursuant
to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more Coupons or without Coupons
and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations
as the officers of the Company executing such Securities may determine, as
conclusively evidenced by their execution of such Securities.  Such temporary Securities may be in global
form.

 

Except in the case of temporary Securities in global
form, which shall be exchanged in accordance with the provisions set forth in
this Indenture or the provisions established pursuant to Section 301, if
temporary Securities are issued, the Company shall cause definitive Securities
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. 
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, after the
preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms
and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities, such
temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon
surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such
Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof.  Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary
Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto), the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in
exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of
authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms and
provisions; provided, however, that no definitive
Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall be
delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security; and provided, further, that a definitive Bearer Security shall
be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security only in compliance
with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this Indenture.  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture with respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged
the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be entitled to the
same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

 

Section 305.                                Registration, Transfer and Exchange.

 

With respect to the Registered Securities of each
series, if any, the Company shall cause to be kept a register (each such
register being herein sometimes referred to as the “Security Register”) at an
Office or Agency for such series in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of the Registered Securities of 

 

28

 

such series and of
transfers of the Registered Securities of such series.  Such Office or Agency shall be the “Security
Registrar” for that series of Securities. 
Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Securities, the initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities shall
be as specified in the last paragraph of Section 1002.  The Company shall have the right to remove
and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of
Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective
until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities
shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such
appointment.  In the event that the
Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be Security Registrar with respect to a
series of Securities, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register
for such series at all reasonable times. 
There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.

 

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Registered
Security of any series at any Office or Agency for such series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities
of the same series denominated as authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture,
of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding and containing identical terms and provisions.

 

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, at the option of the Holder, Registered Securities of any series may
be exchanged for other Registered Securities of the same series containing
identical terms and provisions, in any authorized denominations, and of a like
aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at
any Office or Agency for such series. 
Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

 

If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, with
respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Bearer
Securities of such series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such
series containing identical terms, denominated as authorized in or pursuant to
this Indenture and in the same aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of
the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such series,
with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto
appertaining.  If the Holder of a Bearer
Security is unable to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon
or Coupons in default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities
are accompanied by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee
in an amount equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the
surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company and
the Trustee if there is furnished to them such security or indemnity as they
may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless from and against
any and all loss, liability or expense. 
If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall surrender to any
Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such a payment shall
have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount of such
payment; provided, however, that, except as
otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented by Coupons shall
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office
or Agency for such series located outside the United States.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a
Bearer Security of any series is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for
such series in 

 

29

 

exchange for a Registered
Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business at such
Office or Agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the opening of
business at such Office or Agency on the relevant Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any
Special Record Date and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency
on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security
shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date
or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if such Coupon is so
surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be returned to the
Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or Defaulted
Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest Payment
Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of the
Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall be
payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

 

If provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to Securities of any series, at the option of the Holder, Registered
Securities of such series may be exchanged for Bearer Securities upon such
terms and conditions as may be provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to such series.

 

Whenever any Securities are surrendered for exchange
as contemplated by the immediately preceding two paragraphs, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities which
the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the global Securities of any series
shall be exchangeable for definitive certificated Securities of such series
only if (i) the Depository for such global Securities notifies the Company
that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a Depository for such global
Securities or at any time the Depository for such global Securities ceases to
be a clearing agency registered as such under the Exchange Act, if so required
by applicable law or regulation, and no successor Depository for such
Securities shall have been appointed within 90 days of such notification
or of the Company becoming aware of the Depository’s ceasing to be so
registered, as the case may be, (ii) the Company, in its sole discretion,
determines that the Securities of such series shall no longer be represented by
one or more global Securities and executes and delivers to the Trustee a
Company Order to the effect that such global Securities shall be so exchangeable,
or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect
to such Securities.

 

If the beneficial owners of interests in a global
Security are entitled to exchange such interests for definitive Securities as
the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) of
the preceding paragraph, then without unnecessary delay but in any event not
later than the earliest date on which such interests may be so exchanged, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities in such form and
denominations as are required by or pursuant to this Indenture, and of the same
series, containing identical terms and in aggregate principal amount equal to
the principal amount of such global Security, executed by the Company.  On or after the earliest date on which such
interests may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from
time to time by the Depository (or its custodian) as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto (which the Company agrees to deliver), and
in accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depository (which
instructions shall be in writing 

 

30

 

but need not be contained
in or accompanied by an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion
of Counsel), as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, as the Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole
or in part, for definitive Securities as described above without charge.  The Trustee shall authenticate and make
available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of such surrendered global
Security, a like aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the
same series of authorized denominations and of like tenor as the portion of
such global Security to be exchanged, which (unless such Securities are not
issuable both as Bearer Securities and as Registered Securities, in which case
the definitive Securities exchanged for the global Security shall be issuable
only in the form in which the Securities are issuable, as provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the form of Bearer Securities or
Registered Securities, or any combination thereof, and which shall be in such
denominations and, in the case of Registered Securities, registered in such
names, as shall be specified by the Depository, but subject to the satisfaction
of any certification or other requirements to the issuance of Bearer
Securities; provided, however, that no such exchanges may occur during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities
of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the relevant Redemption Date;
and provided, further, that (unless
otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be mailed or
otherwise delivered to any location in the United States.  Promptly following any such exchange in part,
such global Security shall be returned by the Trustee to such Depository (or
its custodian) or such other Depository (or its custodian) referred to above in
accordance with the instructions of the Company referred to above, and the
Trustee shall endorse such global Security to reflect the decrease in the principal
amount thereof resulting from such exchange. 
If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a
global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such
Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record
Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or
Agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date
for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency
on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as
the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date
for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect
of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

 

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 entitling the Holders thereof to the same
benefits under this Indenture and the applicable Guarantees as the Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

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

 

No service charge shall be made for any registration
of transfer or exchange of Securities, or any redemption or repayment of
Securities, or any conversion or exchange of Securities for 

 

31

 

other types of securities
or property, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 304, 905 or 1107, upon repayment or repurchase in part
of any Registered Security pursuant to Article Thirteen, or upon surrender
in part of any Registered Security for conversion or exchange into Common
Shares or other securities or property pursuant to its terms, in each case not
involving any transfer.

 

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the selection for redemption of
Securities of like tenor and terms and of the same series under Section 1103
and ending at the close of business on the day of such selection, or (ii) to
register the transfer of or exchange any Registered Security, or portion
thereof, so selected for redemption, except in the case of any Registered
Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be redeemed, or (iii) to
exchange any Bearer Security so selected for redemption except, to the extent
provided with respect to such Bearer Security, that such Bearer Security may be
exchanged for a Registered Security of like tenor and terms and of the same
series, provided that such Registered Security shall be simultaneously
surrendered for redemption with written instruction for payment consistent with
the provisions of this Indenture or (iv) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its terms, has been
surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder pursuant to Article Thirteen
and not withdrawn, except the portion, if any, of such Security not to be so
repaid.

 

Section 306.                                Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If any mutilated Security or a Security with a
mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of this Section 306, the Company shall execute and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of
the same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons appertaining
thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to the surrendered
Security.

 

If there be delivered to the Company and to the
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
theft of any Security or Coupon, 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 from and against any and all loss, liability or expense, then, in the
absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon
has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and, upon
the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange
for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in
exchange for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon
appertains with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new
Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like principal
amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons
corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or
stolen Security or to the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen
Coupon appertains.

 

32

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 306,
in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon 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 or Coupon; provided, however, that payment of principal of, any premium
or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities
shall, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an
Office or Agency for such Securities located outside the United States and,
unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on
Bearer Securities and any Additional Amounts with respect to such interest
shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons
appertaining thereto.

 

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

 

Every new Security, with any Coupons appertaining
thereto issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or
stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to which a destroyed, lost or
stolen Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate obligation of the Company,
whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security and Coupons appertaining
thereto or the destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon shall be at any time
enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of such
series and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this Section, as amended or supplemented
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to particular Securities or generally,
shall (to the extent lawful) be 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 or Coupons.

 

Section 307.                                Payment of Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest
and Certain Additional Amounts Preserved.

 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Registered Security which shall be payable, and are punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name such Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered as of
the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.  Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security after the close of business at an Office or Agency for such
Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business
at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such
Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due
in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any
Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not 

 

33

 

be punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such Registered Security
(herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the
Holder thereof 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 Person in
whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall
be 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 such
Registered 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 on or
prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when so deposited to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to such Defaulted Interest
as in this Clause provided.  Thereupon,
the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior
to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt
by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at
the expense of the Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a
Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security
Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the
name and at the expense of the Company cause a similar notice to be published
at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of general circulation in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such publication shall not be a
condition precedent to the establishment of such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name
such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following clause (2).  In case a Bearer Security is surrendered at
the Office or Agency for such Security in exchange for a Registered Security
after the close of business at such Office or Agency on any Special Record Date
and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related
proposed date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Defaulted Interest and
Defaulted Interest shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in
respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security,
but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

(2)           The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such
Security may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such 

 

34

 

exchange,
if, after notice given by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment
pursuant to this Clause, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.

 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities of any particular series, at the option of the
Company, interest on Registered Securities that bear interest may be paid by
mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address
shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account maintained
by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America.

 

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

 

Section 308.                                Persons Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment of a Registered Security for
registration of transfer, the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any
agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as
the owner of such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of
principal of, any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on and
any Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered Security and for all
other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such
Registered Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Guarantors,
the Trustee or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent
of the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer
Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or
Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to
such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, any Guarantor or the
Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

No holder of any beneficial interest in any global
Security held on its behalf by a Depository shall have any rights under this
Indenture with respect to such global Security, and such Depository may be
treated by the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, and any agent of the
Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global Security for all purposes
whatsoever. None of the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar 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 for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
prevent the Company, the Guarantors, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or the
Security Registrar from giving effect to any written certification, proxy or
other authorization furnished by the applicable Depository, as a Holder, with
respect to a global Security or impair, as between such Depository and the
owners 

 

35

 

of beneficial interests
in such global Security, the operation of customary practices governing the
exercise of the rights of such Depository (or its nominee) as the Holder of
such global Security.

 

Section 309.                                Cancellation.

 

All Securities and Coupons surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer, exchange or conversion or for credit
against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and any such Securities and Coupons,
as well as Securities and Coupons surrendered directly to the Trustee for any
such purpose, shall be cancelled promptly by the Trustee.  The Company may at any time deliver to the
Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly 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 or pursuant to this Indenture.  All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by
the Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with customary
procedures.

 

Section 310.                                Computation of Interest.

 

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or in the Securities of any series, interest on the Securities shall
be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.

of this Section 401 shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities
of any series, upon the direction of the Company by a Company Order, this
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of
Securities specified in such Company Order and any Coupons appertaining thereto
and any Guarantees of such Securities, and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company
Order, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series,
when

 

(1)           either

 

(a)           all
Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all
Coupons appertaining thereto (other than (i) Coupons appertaining to
Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange for Registered
Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is
not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities
and Coupons of such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which
have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) Coupons
appertaining to Securities of such series called for redemption and maturing

and Coupons of such series 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
Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, if
applicable, any Coupons appertaining thereto 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, or

 

(iii)  if
redeemable at the option of the Company, 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 in trust for such purpose, money in
the Currency in which such Securities are payable in an amount sufficient to
pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,
including the principal of, any premium and interest on, and, to the extent
that the Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional
Amounts thereon and the amount of any such Additional Amounts which are or will
be payable with respect to the Securities of such series is at the time of
deposit reasonably determinable by the Company (in the exercise by the Company
of its sole and absolute discretion), any Additional Amounts with respect to,
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, to the date of such deposit
(in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Maturity thereof, as the case may be;

 

(2)           the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto; and

 

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

 

In the event there are Securities of two or more
series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be required to execute an
instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture only if
requested to do so with respect to Securities of such series as to which it is
Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met.

 

37

 

At such time as the Company shall have effected
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, each Guarantor of the Securities of such series shall (except as
provided in the next succeeding paragraph) be automatically and unconditionally
released and discharged from all of its obligations under its Guarantee of the
Securities of such series and all of its other obligations under this Indenture
in respect of the Securities of such series, without any action by the Company,
any Guarantor or the Trustee and without the consent of the Holders of any
Securities.

 

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this
Indenture with respect to any series of Securities, the obligations of the
Company to the Trustee under Section 606 and, if money shall have been
deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of
this Section, the respective obligations of the Company, the Guarantors of the
Securities of such series and the Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series under Sections 305, 306, 403, 404, 1002 and 1003, any rights
of Holders of the Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant
to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert
or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such
Securities into Common Shares or other securities or property, and, if
expressly provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities
of such series, any rights of Holders of the Securities of such series to
require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations of the Company
to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of such Holders as
contemplated by Article Thirteen hereof, shall survive, and, if the
Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 1004, the Company will remain obligated, following
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series, to pay, and the Guarantees of the Securities of such series will
continue to guarantee (on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in
this Indenture, including any other terms of this Indenture (including any
terms established pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of
such series), providing for the release and discharge of any Guarantor from its
Guarantee of the Securities of such series and its other obligations under this
Indenture in respect to the Securities of such series) the payment of,
Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004,
to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Additional Amounts payable with
respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such
Additional Amounts pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this
Section.

 

Section 402.                                Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance.

 

(1)           Unless, pursuant to Section 301,
either or both of (i) defeasance of the Securities of or within a series
under clause (2) of this Section 402 or (ii) covenant defeasance
of the Securities of or within a series under clause (3) of this Section 402
shall not be applicable with respect to the Securities of such series, then
such provisions, together with the other provisions of this Section 402
(with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant to Section 301
with respect to any Securities), shall be applicable to such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto, and the Company may at its option by Board
Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of or within such
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect to have Section 402(2) or
Section 402(3) be applied to such Outstanding Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Section 402. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of any series, defeasance under clause (2) of
this Section 402 and covenant defeasance under clause 

 

38

 

(3) of this Section 402
may be effected with respect to any or all of the Outstanding Securities of any
series.  To the extent that the terms of
any Security or Coupon appertaining thereto established in or pursuant to this
Indenture permit the Company, any of the Guarantors or any Holder thereof to
extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or
interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such
Security or Coupon is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided pursuant
to Section 301, the right to extend such date shall terminate upon
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.

 

(2)           Upon the Company’s exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to have been
discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set forth in clause
(4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”).  For this purpose, such
defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Outstanding Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto, which shall thereafter be deemed to be
“Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of this Section 402
and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (i) through
(iv) of this paragraph, and the Company and the Guarantors of the
Securities of such series shall be deemed to have satisfied all of their
respective other obligations under such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto and the Guarantees of such Securities and this Indenture insofar as
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto or such Guarantees are
concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:  (i) the rights of Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto to receive, solely
(except as provided in clause (ii) below) from the trust fund described in
clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 and as more fully set forth in this
Section 402 and Section 403, payments in respect of the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any,
with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto when such
payments are due, (ii) the obligations of the Company, the Guarantors of
the Securities of such series and the Trustee with respect to such Securities
under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and, if applicable to the Securities of
such series, any rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise
provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such
series) to convert or exchange, and the obligations of the Company to convert
or exchange, such Securities into Common Shares or other securities or
property, and, if expressly provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of such series, any rights of Holders of the Securities of
such series to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and the obligations
of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the option of such
Holders as contemplated by Article Thirteen hereof, and, if the Securities
of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1004,
the Company will remain obligated, following defeasance of this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of such series, to pay, and the Guarantees of the
Securities of such series will continue to guarantee (on the terms and subject
to the conditions set forth in this Indenture, subject to any other terms of
this Indenture, including any terms established pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series, providing for the release and
discharge of any Guarantor from its Guarantee of the Securities of such series
and its other obligations under this Indenture in respect to the Securities of
such series) the payment of, Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities
as contemplated by Section 1004, to the extent (and only to the extent)
that the Additional Amounts 

 

39

 

payable with respect to such Securities exceed the
amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts pursuant to clause 4(a) of
this Section 402, (iii) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and
immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this Section 402 and
Sections 403 and 404.  The Company
may exercise its option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 402(3) with respect to
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.  Upon the effectiveness of defeasance with
respect to any series of Securities, each Guarantor of the Securities of such
series shall (except as provided in clause (ii) of the next preceding
sentence) be automatically and unconditionally released and discharged from all
of its obligations under its Guarantee of the Securities of such series and all
of its other obligations under this Indenture in respect of the Securities of
such series, without any action by the Company, any Guarantor or the Trustee
and without the consent of the Holders of any Securities.

 

(3)           Upon the Company’s exercise of the
above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with respect to any
Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released from its
obligations under any covenants applicable to such Securities which are
specified pursuant to Section 301 as being subject to covenant defeasance
on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of this Section 402
are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed to be not “Outstanding”
for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of
Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in connection with any such
covenant, but shall continue to be deemed “Outstanding” for all other purposes
hereunder.  For this purpose, such
covenant defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding Securities and
any Coupons appertaining thereto, 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 covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other covenant or
by reason of reference in any such Section or such other covenant to any
other provision herein or in any other document and such omission to comply
shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(5) or
501(12) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons appertaining
thereto and the Guarantees thereof shall be unaffected thereby.

 

(4)           The following shall be the conditions
to application of clause (2) or (3) of this Section 402 to any
Outstanding Securities of or within a series and any Coupons appertaining
thereto:

 

(a)           The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who
shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 402 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
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
(1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable
at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be
effected in compliance with subsection (f) below, on the relevant
Redemption Date, as the case may be, or (2) Government Obligations
applicable to such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto (determined on
the basis of the Currency in which such Securities 

 

40

 

and
Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable at Stated Maturity
or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected in compliance
with subsection (f) below, on the relevant Redemption Date, as the
case may be) 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 of principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
money in an amount, or (3) a combination thereof, in any case, in an
amount, sufficient, without consideration of any reinvestment of such principal
and interest, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent
public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to
the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee
(or other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of
(and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and, to the extent that such
Securities provide for the payment of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount
of any such Additional Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the
Securities of such series is at the time of deposit reasonably determinable by
the Company (in the exercise by the Company of its sole and absolute
discretion), any Additional Amounts with respect to, such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such
principal or installment of principal or interest or the applicable Redemption
Date, as the case may be, and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or
analogous payments applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

(b)           Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, this Indenture.

 

(c)           No
Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under Section 402(2), no
Event of Default with respect to the Company under clauses (9), (10) or
(11) of Section 501 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to the Company under clauses (9), (10) or
(11) of Section 501 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during
the period ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit
(it being understood that this condition to defeasance under Section 402(2) shall
not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

 

(d)           In
the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 402(2), the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company has received from,
or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since
the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable U.S. federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion
of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize 

 

41

 

income,
gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to
Section 402(3), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion
of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that
the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

 

(e)           The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture have
been complied with.

 

(f)            If
the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may
be, deposited under clause (a) above are sufficient to pay the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided
in such clause (a), Additional Amounts with respect to, such Securities
provided such Securities are redeemed on a particular Redemption Date, the
Company shall have given the Trustee irrevocable instructions to redeem such
Securities on such date and to provide notice of such redemption to Holders as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture.

 

(g)           Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Section 402(4), such defeasance or covenant
defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute
terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in
connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

 

(5)           Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (or other
property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301) (including the
proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee—collectively for purposes of this Section 402(5) and Section 403,
the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4)(a) of Section 402 in respect of
any Outstanding Securities of any series and any Coupons appertaining thereto
shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the
provisions of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (other
than the Company or any Guarantor of the Securities of the applicable series or
any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company or any such Guarantor acting as
Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to become due thereon
in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest and Additional
Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from other funds except
to the extent required by law.

 

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture or any Securities, if, after a deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has
been made, (a) the Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit
was made is entitled to, and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the
terms of such Security to receive payment in a Currency other than that in
which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been made in
respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs 

 

42

 

in respect of the Foreign
Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has been
made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully
discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any), and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect
to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by
converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such
election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security
into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such
election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made
pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such
Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with
respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such
Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the
Conversion Event.

 

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 402 or the principal or
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 such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

Anything in this Section 402 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 (or other
property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as provided in clause (4)(a) of
this Section 402 which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect a defeasance or covenant defeasance, as
applicable, in accordance with this Section 402.

 

Section 403.                                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
or 402 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in accordance with the
provisions of the Securities, the Coupons 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, premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose
payment such money has or Government Obligations have been deposited with or
received by the Trustee; but such money and Government Obligations need not be
segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

Section 404.                                Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee appointed pursuant
to Section 402(4)(a)) or any Paying Agent is unable to apply any moneys or
Government Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 401(1) or 402(4)(a) to
pay any principal of or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to the Securities of the applicable series by
reason of any legal proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company’s and the applicable 

 

43

 

Guarantors’ respective
obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series and the
Guarantees of such Securities shall be revived and reinstated as though no such
deposit had occurred, until such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all such moneys and Government
Obligations to pay the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any,
on and Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities of such series
as contemplated by Sections 401 or 402 as the case may be, and Section 403;
provided, however,
that if the Company or any Guarantor makes any payment of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, in
respect of the Securities of such series following the reinstatement of its
obligations as aforesaid, the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be,
shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee)
or Paying Agent.

Section 502.                                Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default
specified in clauses (9), (10) or (11) of Section 501 with respect to
the Company) occurs and is continuing with respect to Securities of any series,
then either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series may declare the
principal of all the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series, and accrued and unpaid interest,
if any, thereon to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to
the Company and the Guarantors of the Securities of such series (and to the
Trustee if given by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
or such lesser amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest
shall become immediately due and payable. 
If an Event of Default specified in clause (9), (10) or (11) of Section 501
with 

 

46

 

respect to the Company
occurs with respect to the Securities of any series, then the principal of all of
the Securities of such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in
the Securities of such series, and accrued an unpaid interest, if any, thereon
shall ipso facto become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or any Holder
of the Securities of such series.  For
purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that references in this Indenture
to an Event of Default specified in clauses (9), (10) or (11) of Section 501
with respect to the Company shall not include any Event of Default specified in
clauses (9), (10) or (11) of Section 501 with respect to any
Significant Subsidiary of the Company.

 

At any time after Securities of any series have been
accelerated (whether by declaration of the Trustee or the Holders or
automatically) 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 such series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if

 

(1)           the
Company or any Guarantor has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum of money
sufficient to pay (or, to the extent that the terms of the Securities of such
series established pursuant to Section 301 expressly provide for payment
to be made in Common Shares or other securities or property, Common Shares or
other securities or property, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares
or securities to the extent required pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
sufficient to pay)

 

(a)           all
overdue installments of any interest on any Securities of such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto,

 

(b)           the
principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any Additional
Amounts with respect thereto and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest thereon at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided
for in or with respect to such Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so
provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest
borne by such Securities,

 

(c)           to
the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon installments of any
interest, if any, which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or
respective rates, as the case may be, provided for in or with respect to such
Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or
respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and

 

(d)           all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; and

 

47

 

(2)           all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series other than the
non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series which shall have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 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:

 

(1)           default
is made in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts payable in
respect of any interest on, any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto
when such interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, shall have become
due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

 

(2)           default
is made in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if any,
on, any Security at its Maturity, or

 

(1)           default
is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due,

 

the Company shall, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to
the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, the whole amount of money then due and payable with
respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, with interest
upon the overdue principal, any premium and, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, upon any overdue installments of interest and Additional
Amounts at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided for or
with respect to such Securities or, if no such rate or rates are so provided,
at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such
Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further amount of money as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to the Trustee under Section 606.

 

If the Company fails to pay the money it is required
to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding paragraph forthwith upon the
demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an
express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the
money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final
decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any Guarantor of such
Securities or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable
in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any
Guarantor of such Securities or any other obligor upon such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto, 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 and any Coupons appertaining thereto by such appropriate 

 

48

 

judicial proceedings as
the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights,
whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this
Indenture or such Securities or in aid of the exercise of any power granted
herein or therein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

 

Section 504.                                Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other judicial proceeding relative to the Company, any Guarantor
of the Securities of any series or any other obligor upon the Securities or the
property of the Company or any such Guarantor or such other obligor or their
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities
shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on
the Company or any such Guarantor for the payment of any overdue principal,
premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

 

(1)           to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any
premium, interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto and to file such other papers
or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of
the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents or counsel) and of the
Holders of Securities or any Coupons allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 

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

 

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee,
liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial
proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder of Securities or any Coupons to
make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall
consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders of Securities or
any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its
agents and counsel and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606.

 

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Holder of a Security or any Coupon any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or Coupons or the rights of
any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim
of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon in any such proceeding.

 

Section 505.                                Trustee May Enforce Claims without Possession of Securities or
Coupons.

 

All rights of action and claims under this Indenture
or any of the Securities or Coupons may be prosecuted and enforced by the
Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons or the
production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding 

 

49

 

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

 

Section 506.                                Application of Money Collected.

 

Any money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be applied in the following
order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal, or any premium, interest or
Additional Amounts, upon presentation of such Securities or the Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto, or both, as the case may be, and the notation
thereon of the payment if only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if
fully paid:

payment of all amounts due the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 606;

 

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

 

THIRD:  The balance,
if any, to the Person or Persons entitled thereto.

No Holder of any Security of any series or any Coupons
appertaining thereto 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 such series;

 

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

 

(3)           such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities which might
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

 

50

 

(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 principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such 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 or any Security to affect, disturb
or prejudice the rights of any other such Holders or Holders of Securities of
any other series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over
any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all such

the Holder of any Security or Coupon shall have the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of, any premium, if any,
and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest, if any, on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to such Security or such Coupon, as the case may be, on
the respective Stated Maturity or Maturities therefor specified in such
Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in
the case of repayment pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof at the option of
such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, on the date such
repayment is due) and, in the case of any Security which is convertible into or
exchangeable for other securities or property, to convert or exchange, as the
case may be, such Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit
for the enforcement of any such payment and any such right to convert or
exchange, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such
Holder.

 

Section 509.                                Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

 

If the Trustee or any Holder of a Security or a Coupon
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 the Company, the Trustee and each such Holder shall,
subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored severally and
respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and
remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as though no such
proceeding had been instituted.

 

Section 510.                                Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each
and every Holder of a Security or a Coupon is intended to be exclusive of any
other right or remedy, and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by
law, shall 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 

 

51

 

hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not, to the extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 511.                                Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder
of any Security or Coupon to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any
Event of Default shall, to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 any Holder of
a Security or a Coupon may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Trustee or by such Holder, as the case may be.

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 and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, provided that

 

(1)           such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture or with the Securities of any series,

 

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

 

(3)           such
direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of
Securities of such series not joining in such action.

 

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 on behalf of the
Holders of all the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto
may waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except

 

(1)           a
default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or any Coupons
appertaining thereto, or

 

(2)           in
the case of any Securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Shares or other securities or property, a default in any such conversion
or exchange, or

 

(3)           a
default 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.

 

52

 

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.                                Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

 

Each of the Company and each of the Guarantors
covenants that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or any
other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would
prohibit or forgive the Company or such Guarantor, as the case may be, from
paying all or any portion of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest,
if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to any Securities (in
the case of Company) or from paying any amount due under any of its Guarantees
(in the case of such Guarantor) as contemplated herein and therein or which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities (in
the case of Company) or this Indenture or any of its Guarantees (in the case of
such Guarantor); and each of the Company and each Guarantor (to the extent that
it may lawfully do so) expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee or the Holders, but will suffer and permit
the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

 

Section 515.                                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 or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, the filing by any
party litigant in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit,
and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including
reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, against any party litigant in
such suit having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or
defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 515
shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted
by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any,
with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder
pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof, on or after the date for repayment)
or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any
Security into Common Shares or other securities in accordance with its terms.

Trustee may 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, coupon or
other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have
been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

request or direction of the Company mentioned herein shall be sufficiently

shall be sufficiently evidenced as provided therein) and any request or
direction of a Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a
Guarantor Request or Guarantor Order and any resolution of the Board of
Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution and any
resolution of a Guarantor’s Board of Directors may be sufficiently evidenced by

(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 shall be herein
specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely
upon an Officers’ Certificate or if such matter pertains to a Guarantor, a
Guarantor’s Officers’ Certificate;

 

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

 

(5)           the
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by or pursuant to this Indenture at the request or direction of

against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by
it in compliance with such request or direction;

 

(6)           the

Within 90 days after the occurrence of any default
hereunder with respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall
transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such series entitled to
receive reports pursuant to Section 703(3), notice of such default
hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been cured or
waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any, on, or
Additional Amounts or any sinking fund installment with respect to, any
Security of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such

trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the best interest of
the Holders of Securities and Coupons of such series; and provided,
further, that in the case of any default of the character specified
in Section 501(5) or 501(12) with respect to Securities of such
series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after
the occurrence thereof.  For the purpose
of this Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series.

 

Section 603.                                Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

 

The recitals contained herein and in the Securities,
except the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, and in any Coupons 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 the Securities or the
Coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Indenture, authenticate the Securities and perform its
obligations hereunder and that the statements made by it in a Statement of
Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied to the Company are true and accurate,
subject to the qualifications set forth therein. Neither the Trustee nor any
Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or application by the
Company of the Securities or the proceeds thereof.

 

Section 604.                                May Hold Securities.

 

The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying
Agent, any Security Registrar or any other Person that may be an agent of the
Trustee, the Company or any Guarantor, in its individual or any other capacity,
may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons and, subject to
Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act, may otherwise
deal with the 

 

55

 

Company and each
Guarantor with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee,
Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security Registrar or such other Person.

 

Section 605.                                Money Held in Trust.

 

Except as provided in Section 403 and Section 1003,
money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other
funds except to the extent required by law and shall be held uninvested.  The Trustee shall be under no liability for
interest on any money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed in
writing with the Company or any Guarantor.

 

Section 606.                                Compensation and Reimbursement.

 

The Company agrees:

 

(1)           to
pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by the Trustee 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
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith; and

 

(3)           to
indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against,
any loss, liability or reasonable expense (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of the Trustee’s agents, legal counsel,
accountants and experts) incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
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 themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the Trustee’s
negligence or bad faith.

 

As security for the performance of the obligations of
the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the
Securities of any series upon all property and funds held or collected by the
Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, or
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities or
any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

Any compensation or expense incurred by the Trustee
after a default specified by Section 501(9), (10) or (11) is intended
to constitute an expense of administration under any then applicable bankruptcy
or insolvency law.  “Trustee” for
purposes of this Section 606 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the
negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee under this Section 606.  The
provisions of this Section 606 shall, to the extent permitted by law,
survive any termination of this Indenture (including, without 

 

56

 

limitation, termination
pursuant to any Bankruptcy Laws) and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

Section 607.                                Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 

(1)           There shall at all times be a Trustee
hereunder that is a Corporation, organized and doing business under the laws of
the United States of America, any state thereof or the District of Columbia,
eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act to act as
trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act and that has
a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of
the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or state authority. 
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.

 

(2)           The following indenture shall be
considered specifically described herein for purposes of clause (i) of the
proviso contained in Section 310(b)(1) of the Trust Indenture Act:
Indenture dated as of July 23, 2007 among the Company, KKR Financial Corp.
and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee; and, pursuant to Section 310(b)(1)(C)(i) of
the Trust Indenture Act, unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, an Event
of Default or default by the Company under this Indenture will not disqualify
the Trustee under this Indenture because it is a trustee under such other
indenture.

 

Section 608.                                Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(1)           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
pursuant to Section 609.

 

(2)           The Trustee may resign at any time
with respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company.  If the
instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 609
shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect
to such series.

 

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

 

(4)           If at any time:

 

(a)           the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written
request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
months, or

 

(b)           the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

 

57

 

(c)           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, (i) the Company, by or
pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities or the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject to Section 315(e) of
the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities of
such series and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

(5)           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 or pursuant to a Board Resolution, shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that
or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may be
appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series
and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 609.  If,
within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the
occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the
Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 609, 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 of Securities and
accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 609, any Holder of
a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(6)           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 Registered Securities, if any, of such
series as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register and, if
Securities of such series are issued as Bearer Securities, by publishing notice
of such event once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located
outside the United States.  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.

 

58

 

Section 609.                                Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

 

(1)           Upon the appointment hereunder of any
successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, such successor Trustee so
appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantors
and 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
hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company, any
Guarantor or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its
charges, shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject
to Section 1003, shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor
Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject
nevertheless to its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

 

(2)           Upon the appointment hereunder of any
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all)
series, the Company, the Guarantors, the retiring Trustee and such successor Trustee
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, such successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust, 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 that no
Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to, or received by, or any
act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee shall have no further responsibility for the
exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and
obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth, 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
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, any
Guarantor or such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its
charges with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor relates and subject to Section 1003 shall duly
assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent
contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the 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, subject to
its claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

 

59

 

(3)           Upon request of any Person appointed
hereunder as a successor Trustee, the Company and the Guarantors 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
paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may be.

 

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

 

Section 610.                                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 that such Corporation shall otherwise be 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 such
successor 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. In case any
Securities shall not have been authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any
such successor Trustee may authenticate and deliver such Securities in either
its own name or that of its predecessor Trustee.

 

Section 611.                                Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

 

The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating
Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one or more series of
Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to
authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original issue,
exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption, partial repayment,
partial conversion or exchange for Common Shares or other securities or
property, 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, except as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, shall at all
times be a Corporation that would be permitted by the Trust Indenture Act to
act as trustee under an indenture qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, is
authorized under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating
Agent and has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of
the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000.  If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this
Section.

 

60

 

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 agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of
such 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 the Company.  The Trustee may at any time terminate the
agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such
Authenticating Agent and the Company.  Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or
upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the
Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable
to the Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such appointment by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if
any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve,
as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and (ii) if
Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of
such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where
such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is
located outside the United States.  Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating
Agent.  No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

The Company agrees to pay each Authenticating Agent
from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this
Section.  If the Trustee makes such
payments, it shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to
the provisions of Section 606.

 

The provisions of Sections 308, 603 and 604 shall be
applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

 

If an Authenticating Agent is appointed with respect
to one or more series of Securities pursuant to this Section, the Securities of
such series may have endorsed thereon, in addition to or in lieu of the
Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an alternate certificate of
authentication in substantially the following form:

 

61

 

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

 

	
   

  	
  WELLS FARGO BANK,
  NATIONAL ASSOCIATION,

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

COVENANTS

 

Section 1001.                          Payment of Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of
the Holders of the Securities of each series that it will duly and punctually
pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to the Securities of such series, whether payable in cash, Common
Shares or other securities or property, in accordance with the terms thereof,
any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.  Any interest due on any Bearer Security on or
before the Maturity thereof, and any Additional Amounts payable with respect to
such interest, shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the
Coupons appertaining thereto for such interest as they severally mature.

 

Section 1002.                          Maintenance of Office or Agency.

 

The Company shall maintain in each Place of Payment
for any series of Securities an Office or Agency where Securities of such
series (but not Bearer Securities, except as otherwise provided below, unless
such Place of Payment is located outside the United States) may be presented or
surrendered for payment, where Securities of such series may be surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, where Securities of such series that are
convertible or exchangeable may be surrendered for conversion or exchange, and
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities
of such series relating thereto and this Indenture may be served.  If Securities of a series are issuable as
Bearer Securities, the Company shall maintain, subject to any laws or
regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a Place of Payment for
such series which is located outside the United States where Securities of such
series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered
for payment; provided, however, that if the
Securities of such series are listed on any stock exchange located outside the
United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company shall
maintain a Paying Agent in a city located outside the United States required by
such stock exchange, so long as the Securities of such series are listed on
such exchange.  The Company will give
prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the
location, of such Office or Agency.  If
at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required Office or
Agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and surrendered for payment at
the place specified for the purpose with respect to such Securities as provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee
as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.

 

Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, no payment of principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts
with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made at any Office or Agency in the
United States or by check mailed to any address in the United States or by
transfer to an account maintained with a bank located in the United States; provided, however, if amounts owing with respect to any
Bearer Securities shall be payable in Dollars, payment of principal of, any
premium or interest on and any Additional Amounts with respect to any such 

 

70

 

Security may be made at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by
the Company in the United States designated for such purpose, if (but only if)
payment of the full amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional
Amounts at all offices outside the United States maintained for such purpose by
the Company in accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively
precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions (in which case the
Company shall so notify the Trustee in writing).

 

The Company may also from time to time designate one
or more other Offices or Agencies where the Securities of one or more series
may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time
to time rescind such designations; provided, however,
that no such designation or rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company
of its obligations to maintain an Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for
Securities of any series for such purposes. 
The Company shall 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.

 

Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series), the Company hereby designates the
place where the Trustee shall from time to time maintain its Corporate Trust
Office as the Company’s Office or Agency for such purpose and initially
appoints the Trustee as the  Security
Registrar for each series of Securities and, if the Securities of any series
are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or other securities or
property, initially appoints the Trustee as conversion or exchange agent, as
the case may be, for the Securities of such series. The Company may
subsequently appoint a different or additional Office or Agency and, as
provided in Section 305, may remove and replace from time to time the Security
Registrar.

 

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 shall, on or before each due
date of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any of the Securities of such series, segregate and hold in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum in the Currency or
Currencies in which the Securities of such series are payable sufficient to pay
the principal, any premium, interest and Additional Amounts, as the case may
be, so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise
disposed of as herein provided, and shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action
or failure so to act.

 

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying
Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on or prior to each due date of
the principal of, or any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with
respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit with any Paying Agent a sum
(in the Currency or Currencies described in the preceding paragraph) sufficient
to pay the principal, premium, interest and Additional Amounts, as the case may
be, so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the
Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

71

 

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

 

(1)           hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall
be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture;

 

(2)           give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any premium
or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such
series; 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.

 

To the extent that the
terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section 301 provide that
any principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on or any Additional Amounts
with respect to any such Securities is or may be payable in Common Shares or
other securities or property, then the provisions of this Section 1003
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Common Shares or
other securities or property.

 

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 terms as those upon which such sums
were held by the Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any
Paying Agent to the Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all
further liability with respect to such sums.

 

Except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant
hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of, any premium or

if deposited by a Guarantor, paid to such Guarantor on Guarantor Request), or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto shall thereafter, as
an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company or such Guarantor, as
the case may be, 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, not later than 30 days after the Company’s or such Guarantor’s,
as the case may be, request for such repayment, at the expense of the Company
or such Guarantor, as the case may be, cause to be published once, in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed

of Additional Amounts by the Company, the Company agrees to pay to the Holder
of any such Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or such Securities; and, if the
Guarantee of the Securities of a series provides for the payment of Additional
Amounts by any Guarantor of the Securities of such series, each such Guarantor

any Coupon appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant

mentioned, in any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on, or in respect of, any Security of any series or any Coupon or
Guarantee, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts provided by the terms of such series established hereby or
pursuant hereto to the extent that, in such context, Additional Amounts are,
were or would be payable in respect thereof pursuant to such terms, and express
mention of the payment of Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision
hereof shall not be construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those
provisions hereof where such express mention is not made.

 

Section 1005.                          Legal Existence.

 

Subject to Article Eight, the Company shall do or
cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and
effect its legal existence as any type of Corporation (it being understood that
nothing in this Section 1005 shall prohibit the Company from changing its
legal form from one type of Corporation to another type of Corporation).

 

Section 1006.                          Waiver of Certain Covenants.

 

The Company may omit in any particular instance to
comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 801, 802,
1002, 1003 or 1005 with respect to the Securities of any series and, if
expressly provided pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities
of such series, any additional covenants applicable to the Securities of such
series if before the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by
Act of such Holders, either shall waive such compliance in such instance or generally
shall have waived compliance with such term, 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 1007.                          Company Statement as to Compliance.

 

The Company shall deliver to the Trustee, within 120
days after the end of each fiscal year, a written statement (which need not be

accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or not, to the best of his

REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES

 

Section 1101.                          Applicability of Article.

 

Redemption of Securities of any series at the option
of the Company as permitted or required by the terms of such Securities shall
be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and (except as
otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this Article.

 

Section 1102.                          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 less than all of the Securities of any series, the Company
shall, at least 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 and of the principal amount of Securities of
such series to be redeemed and, in the event that the Company shall determine
that the Securities of any series to be redeemed shall be selected from
Securities of such series having the same issue date, interest rate or interest
rate formula, Stated Maturity and other terms (the “Equivalent Terms”), the
Company shall notify the Trustee of such Equivalent Terms.

 

In the case of any redemption of Securities (A) prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture or (B) pursuant to an
election of the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms 

 

74

 

of such Securities or
elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an
Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

Section 1103.                          Selection by Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

If less than all of the Securities of any series are to
be redeemed or if less than all of the Securities of any series with Equivalent
Terms are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from
the Outstanding Securities of such series or from the Outstanding Securities of
such series with Equivalent Terms, as the case may be, not previously called
for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate
and which may provide for the selection for redemption of portions of the
principal amount of Registered Securities of such series; provided,
however, that no such partial redemption shall reduce the portion of
the principal amount of a Security of such series not redeemed to less than the
minimum denomination for a Security of such series established herein or
pursuant hereto.

 

The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company and the
Security Registrar (if other than itself) in writing of the Securities selected
for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

 

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

 

Unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to this
Indenture or the Securities of any series or in a notice of redemption, if any
Security selected for partial redemption is converted or exchanged for Common
Shares or other securities or property in part before termination of the
conversion or exchange right with respect to the portion of the Security so
selected, the converted or exchanged portion of such Security shall be deemed
(so far as may be) to be the portion selected for redemption.  Securities which have been converted or
exchanged during a selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by
the Trustee as Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

 

Section 1104.                          Notice of Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption shall be given in the manner
provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is specified in the Securities to
be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed.  Failure to give notice by mailing in the
manner herein provided to the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for
redemption as a whole or in part, or any defect in the notice to any such
Holder, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of
any other Securities or portions thereof.

 

Any notice that is mailed to the Holder of any
Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively
presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder receives the
notice.

 

75

 

All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)           the
Redemption Date,

 

(2)           the
Redemption Price or, if applicable, the manner in which the Redemption Price
will be determined,

 

(3)           if
less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount)
of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed,

 

(4)           that,
in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, on and after the
Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security
will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

 

(5)           that,
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon
each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, together (if applicable)
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon (subject, if applicable, to
the provisos to the first paragraph of Section 1106), and, if applicable,
that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

 

(6)           the
place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of Bearer
Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the
Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and
any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,

 

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

 

(8)           that,
unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if
any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing
subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing
Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security
or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is
furnished,

 

(9)           if
Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered
Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities
may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the
Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as
determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,

 

(10)         in
the case of Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable into
Common Shares or other securities or property, the then current conversion or
exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or
exchange the principal of the Securities of such series to be redeemed will
commence or terminate, as applicable, and the place or places where and the
Persons to whom such Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange,

 

76

 

(11)         the
CUSIP number of such Securities, if any, and

 

(12)         if
the Redemption Price or any portion thereof shall be payable, at the option of
the Company, in cash or in Common Shares or other securities or property (or a
combination thereof), a statement as to whether the Company has elected to pay
the Redemption Price in cash or Common Shares or other securities or property
or a combination thereof and, if applicable, the portion of the Redemption
Price that is to be paid in cash, Common Shares or other securities or
property.

 

A notice of redemption published as contemplated by Section 106
need not identify particular Registered Securities to be redeemed.

 

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.

 

Section 1105.                          Deposit of Redemption Price.

 

On or prior to any Redemption Date, the Company shall
deposit, with respect to the Securities of any series called for redemption
pursuant to Section 1104, 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 in the applicable Currency
or, if the Redemption Price shall be payable in cash, securities and/or other
property, an amount of money in the applicable Currency, securities and/or
other property, as the case may be, sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of,
and (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to
the Securities of such series) any accrued interest on, all such Securities or
portions thereof which are to be redeemed on that date, except that, if the
Securities of such series are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or
other securities or property, no such deposit shall be required (unless
otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities
of such series) with respect to any such Securities (or portions thereof) which
have been converted or exchanged prior to such Redemption Date.

 

Section 1106.                          Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the
Securities so to be redeemed (except, in the case of Securities which are
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or other securities or property,
any such Securities which shall have been so converted or exchanged prior to
the applicable Redemption Date) shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and
payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, together with (unless
otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of such series pursuant to Section 301)
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon and from and after such date
(unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and
accrued interest, if any) such Securities shall cease to bear interest and the
Coupons for such interest appertaining to any Bearer Securities so to be
redeemed, except to the extent provided below, shall be void.  Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, together with all Coupons, if any,
appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security shall be
paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with, unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any accrued and unpaid 

 

77

 

interest thereon and
Additional Amounts with respect thereto to but excluding the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, except as otherwise provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture or the Bearer Securities of such series,  installments of interest on Bearer Securities
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office
or Agency located outside the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002),
and provided, further, that, except as
otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered
Securities of such series, installments of interest on Registered Securities
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the Regular Record Dates
therefor according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.

 

If any Bearer Security surrendered for redemption
shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the
Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption
Price or, at the option of the Company, after payment to the Trustee for the
benefit of the Company of, an amount equal to the face amount of all such
missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be
waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to them such
security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent
harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or expense.  If thereafter the Holder of such Security
shall surrender to the Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in
respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price,
such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that any interest or Additional Amounts
represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of
those Coupons at an Office or Agency for such Security located outside of the
United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002.

 

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so
paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal and any premium,
until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed
therefor in the Security or, if no rate is prescribed therefor in the Security,
at the rate of interest, if any, borne by such Security.

 

Section 1107.                          Securities Redeemed in Part.

 

Any Registered Security which is to be redeemed only
in part shall be surrendered at any Office or Agency for such Security (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 Registered Security or
Securities of the same series, containing identical terms and provisions, 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.  If a
Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depository for such Security in
global form as shall be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to
the Trustee, without service charge, a new Security in global form in a
denomination equal to and in

unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so
surrendered.

SINKING
FUNDS

 

Section 1201.                          Applicability of Article.

 

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

 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment
provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as
a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in excess of such minimum
amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such series is herein
referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”.  If provided for by the terms of Securities of
any series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 1202.  Each
sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this
Indenture.

 

Section 1202.                          Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company may, in satisfaction of all or any part of
any sinking fund payment with respect to the Securities of any series to be
made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver Outstanding
Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities previously called
for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which cash shall have
been released to the Company), together in the case of any Bearer Securities of
such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining thereto, and (2) apply
as a credit Securities of such series which have been redeemed either at the
election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such series of Securities or
through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to
the terms of such Securities, provided that
such Securities have not been previously so credited.  Such Securities shall be received and
credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in
such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the
amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.  If as a result of the delivery or credit of
Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202,
the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company
Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent
and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request
of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash
payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the Company
having an unpaid principal amount equal to the cash payment requested to be
released to the Company.

 

79

 

Section 1203.                          Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 75 days prior to each sinking fund
payment date for any series of Securities, the Company shall deliver to the
Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment for that series pursuant to the terms of that
series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of
cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering
and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202, and
the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory
sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be
so credited and not theretofore delivered. 
If such Officers’ Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be
added in cash to the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company
shall thereupon be obligated to pay the amount therein specified.  Not less than 60 days before each such sinking
fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and
cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the
expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104.  Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

Securities of any series which are repayable at the
option of the Holders thereof before their Stated Maturity shall be repaid in
accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series. The repayment of
any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such option of the Holder to
require repayment of Securities before their Stated Maturity, for purposes of Section 309,
shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness
represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, at its option,
shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee with a directive that such
Securities be cancelled. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Section 1301, in connection with any repayment of Securities, the
Company may arrange for the purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one
or more investment bankers or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by
paying to the Holders of such Securities on or before the applicable repayment
date an amount not less than the repayment price payable by the Company on
repayment of such Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the
repayment price of such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the
extent such payment is so paid by such purchasers.

 

Unless otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture or
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series or
unless the context otherwise requires, all references in this Indenture to the
repayment of Securities at the option of the Holders thereof (and all
references of like import) shall be deemed to include a reference to the

The Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series shall constitute a quorum for
a meeting or duly reconvened meeting of Holders of Securities of such series; provided, however, that if any action is to be taken at such
meeting with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action which this Indenture expressly provides may be
given by the Holders of a greater percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of a series, the Persons entitled to at least such
greater percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series shall constitute a quorum.  In the
absence of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such
meeting, the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities
of such series, be dissolved.  In any
other case the meeting may be adjourned for a period of not less than 10 days
as determined by the chairman of the meeting prior to the adjournment of such
meeting.  In the absence of a quorum at
any such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for
a period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting.  Notice of the reconvening of any adjourned
meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1502(1), except that such
notice need be given only once not less than five days prior to the date on
which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened.  Notice of the reconvening of an adjourned
meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as provided above, of the
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series which shall
constitute a quorum.

 

Except as limited by the proviso to Section 902,
any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned meeting duly reconvened at
which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be adopted only by the affirmative
vote of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series; provided, however,
that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902, any resolution with
respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,  

 

82

 

waiver or other Act which
this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the Holders of
a specified percentage, which is less than or more than a majority, in
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at a
meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is
present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

 

Any resolution passed or decision taken at any meeting
of Holders of Securities of any series duly held in accordance with this Section shall
be binding on all the Holders of Securities of such series and the Coupons
appertaining thereto, whether or not such Holders were present or represented
at the meeting.

 

Section 1505.                          Determination of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

 

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

 

(2)           The Trustee shall, by an instrument
in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting
shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided
in Section 1502(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities
of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a temporary chairman.  A
permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of the meeting shall be elected by
vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series represented at the meeting.

 

(3)           At any meeting, each Holder of a
Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000
principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at
any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled
by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding.  If the Securities of such series are issuable
in minimum denominations of less than $1,000, then a Holder of such a Security
in a principal amount of less than $1,000 shall be entitled to a fraction of
one vote which is equal to the fraction that the principal amount of such
Security bears to $1,000.  The chairman
of the meeting shall have no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of
such series or proxy.

 

83

 

(4)           Any meeting of Holders of Securities
of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is
present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.

 

Section 1506.                          Counting Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

 

The vote upon any resolution submitted to any meeting
of Holders of Securities of any series shall be by written ballots on which
shall be subscribed the signatures of the Holders of Securities of such series
or of their representatives by proxy and the principal amounts and serial
numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such series held or represented by
them.  The permanent chairman of the
meeting shall appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at
the meeting for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the
secretary of the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all
votes cast at the meeting.  A record, at
least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series shall be prepared by the secretary of the meeting and
there shall be attached to said record the original reports of the inspectors
of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat and affidavits by one or more
persons having knowledge of the facts setting forth a copy of the notice of the
meeting and showing that said notice was given as provided in Section 1502
and, if applicable, Section 1504. 
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the
permanent chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be
delivered to the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the
Trustee, the latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the
meeting.  Any record so signed and
verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.

Section 1601.                          Guarantees.

 

The Securities of each series shall be guaranteed by
such Guarantors, and on such terms and subject to such conditions, as shall be
established pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such
series.  The Persons who shall initially
be the Guarantors of the Securities of any series may, but need not, include
any or all of the Initial Guarantors and may include any and all such other
Persons as the Company may determine; provided that prior to the initial
issuance of Securities that are to be guaranteed by a Person that is not an
Initial Guarantor (or, if provided by the terms of this Indenture, a successor
to an Initial Guarantor), the parties hereto and such Person shall enter into a
supplemental indenture pursuant to Section 901 hereof whereby such Person
shall become a Guarantor under this Indenture.

 

Anything in this Indenture, the Securities or any
Guarantee to the contrary notwithstanding, the obligations of each Guarantor
under its Guarantees and this Indenture shall be limited to the maximum amount
as will, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of
such Guarantor, result in the obligations of such Guarantor under its
Guarantees and this Indenture not constituting a fraudulent advance or
fraudulent transfer under any Bankruptcy 

 

84

 

Law, the Uniform
Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar
federal, state or other law affecting the rights of creditors generally.

 

No Guarantee shall be valid and obligatory for any
purpose with respect to any Security until the certificate of authentication on
such Security shall have been signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

SECURITY

 

Section 1701.                          Security.

 

If so provided pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series and/or
the Guarantees of such Securities may be secured by such property, assets or
other collateral as may be specified in or pursuant to Section 301.  Any and all terms and provisions applicable
to the security for the Securities of such series and/or such Guarantees shall
also be provided in or pursuant to Section 301, which may include, without
limitation, provisions for the execution and delivery of such security
agreements, pledge agreements, collateral agreements and other similar or
related agreements as the Company or any Guarantor may elect and which may
provide for the Trustee to act as collateral agent or in a similar or other
capacity.  The Trustee shall comply with
Sections 313(a)(5) and (6) and 313(b)(1) of the Trust
Indenture Act and the Company and, if applicable, any Guarantor that has
pledged collateral to secure its Guarantee shall comply with
Sections 314(b), 314(c) and 314(d) of the Trust Indenture Act,
in each case in respect of any secured Securities and/or Guarantees that may be
outstanding hereunder from time to time.

Section 104.                                Acts of
Holders.

 

(1)           Any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by or pursuant to
this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Holders in person or by an agent duly appointed in writing. If, but only
if, Securities of a series are issuable as Bearer Securities, any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture to be made, given or taken by Holders
of Securities of such series may, alternatively, be embodied in and evidenced by
the record of Holders of Securities of such series voting in favor thereof,
either in person or by proxies duly appointed in writing, at any meeting of
Holders of Securities of such series duly called and held in accordance with
the provisions of Article Fifteen, or a combination of such instruments
and any such record. Except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action
shall become effective when such instrument or instruments or record or both
are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the
Company. Such instrument or instruments and any such record (and the action
embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the
“Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments or so voting at any
such meeting. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing
appointing any such agent, or of the holding by any Person of a Security, shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 315
of the Trust Indenture Act) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company
and any agent of the Trustee or the Company, if made in the manner provided in
this Section. The record of any meeting of Holders of Securities shall be
proved in the manner provided in Section 1506.

 

Without limiting the
generality of this Section 104, unless otherwise provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, a Holder, including a Depository that is a Holder of a
global Security, may make, give or take, by a proxy or proxies, duly appointed
in writing, any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other Act provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities
to be made, given or taken by Holders, and a Depository that is a Holder of a
global Security may provide its proxy or proxies to the beneficial owners of
interests in any such global Security through such Depository’s standing
instructions and customary practices.

 

(2)           The fact and date of the execution by
any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable
manner which the Trustee deems sufficient and in accordance with such
reasonable rules as the Trustee may determine; and the Trustee may in any
instance require further proof with respect to any of the matters referred to
in this Section.

 

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

 

12

 

(4)           The ownership, principal amount and
serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by any Person, and the date of the
commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same, may be proved
by the production of such Bearer Securities or by a certificate executed, as
depositary, by any trust company, bank, banker or other depositary reasonably
acceptable to the Company, wherever situated, if such certificate shall be
deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be satisfactory, showing that at the
date therein mentioned such Person had on deposit with such depositary, or
exhibited to it, the Bearer Securities therein described; or such facts may be
proved by the certificate or affidavit of the Person holding such Bearer Securities,
if such certificate or affidavit is deemed by the Company and the Trustee to be
satisfactory. The Trustee and the Company may assume that such ownership of any
Bearer Security continues until (1) another certificate or affidavit
bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Bearer Security is produced,
or (2) such Bearer Security is produced to the Trustee by some other
Person, or (3) such Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security, or (4) such Bearer Security is no longer Outstanding.
The ownership, principal amount and serial numbers of Bearer Securities held by
the Person so executing such instrument or writing and the date of the
commencement and the date of the termination of holding the same may also be
proved in any other manner which the Company and the Trustee deem sufficient.

 

(5)           If the Company shall solicit from the
Holders of any Registered Securities any request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, the Company may at its option
(but is not obligated to), by Board Resolution fix in advance a record date for
the determination of Holders of Registered Securities entitled to give such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
Act. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act may be given before or after
such record date, but only the Holders of Registered Securities of record at
the close of business on such record date shall be deemed to be Holders for the
purpose of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Outstanding Securities have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act, and for
that purpose the Outstanding Securities shall be computed as of such record
date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
of Registered Securities shall be deemed effective unless it shall become
effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six
months after the record date.

 

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

 

Section 105.                                Notices,
etc., to Trustee and Company.

 

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

 

13

 

(1)           the
Trustee by any Holder or the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose
hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in writing to or with the Trustee
at its Corporate Trust Office, or

 

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

 

Section 106.                                Notice to
Holders of Securities; Waiver.

 

Except as otherwise
expressly provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, where this Indenture
provides for notice to Holders of Securities of any event,

 

(1)           such
notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Registered Securities if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Registered
Security affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security
Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest
date, prescribed for the giving of such notice; and

 

(2)           such
notice shall be sufficiently given to Holders of Bearer Securities, if any, if
published in an Authorized Newspaper in The City of New York and, if such Securities
are then listed on any stock exchange outside the United States, in an
Authorized Newspaper in such city as the Company shall advise the Trustee that
such stock exchange so requires, on a Business Day at least twice, the first
such publication to be not earlier than the earliest date and the second such
publication not later than the latest date prescribed for the giving of such
notice.

 

In any case where notice
to Holders of Registered Securities is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Holder of a Registered Security shall affect the sufficiency of such notice
with respect to other Holders of Registered Securities or the sufficiency of
any notice to Holders of Bearer Securities given as provided herein. Any notice
which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to
have been duly given or provided. In the case by reason of the suspension of
regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable
to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the
approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every
purpose hereunder.

 

In case by reason of the
suspension of publication of any Authorized Newspaper or Authorized Newspapers
or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to publish any notice
to Holders of Bearer Securities as provided above, then such notification to
Holders of Bearer Securities as shall be given with the approval of the Trustee
shall constitute sufficient notice to such Holders for every purpose hereunder.
Neither failure to give notice by publication to Holders of Bearer Securities
as provided above, nor any defect in any notice so published,

 

14

 

shall affect the sufficiency of any notice mailed to
Holders of Registered Securities as provided above.

 

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 of Securities 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.

 

Anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding, unless otherwise expressly stated in this Indenture
or pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series,
if a Depository or its nominee is the Holder of any Security, then any notice
given to such Depository or its nominee, as the case may be, in respect of such
Security may be given by the Company or the Trustee electronically in
accordance with the procedures of such Depository as in effect from time to
time in lieu of giving notice to such Depository or such nominee, as the case
may be, by mail and all references in this Indenture to the mailing of any such
notice shall be deemed to mean, solely as concerns the notice given by the
Company or the Trustee to such Depository or its nominee, as the case may be,
the electronic transmission of such notice as aforesaid, mutatis mutandis.

 

Section 107.                                Language of
Notices.

 

Any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, election or waiver required or
permitted under this Indenture shall be in the English language, except that,
if the Company so elects, any published notice may be in an official language
of the country of publication.

 

Section 108.                                Conflict
with Trust Indenture Act.

 

If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with any duties under any required provision of
the Trust Indenture Act imposed hereon by Section 318(c) thereof,
such required provision shall control.

 

Section 109.                                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.

 

Section 110.                                Successors
and Assigns.

 

All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 111.                                Separability
Clause.

 

In case any provision in
this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon shall be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions shall not, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

Nothing in this
Indenture, any Security or any Coupon, express or implied, shall give to any
Person, other than the parties hereto, any Security Registrar, any Paying Agent
and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities or Coupons, any
benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

any Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity or Maturity of, or any other day on
which a payment is due with respect to, any Security shall be a day which is
not a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of this Indenture, any Security or any Coupon other than a provision
in any Security or Coupon or in the Board Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or
supplemental indenture establishing the terms of any Security that specifically
states that such provision shall apply in lieu hereof) payment need not be made
at such Place of Payment on such date, but such payment may be made on the next
succeeding day that is a Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same
force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date, at the Stated
Maturity or Maturity or on any such other payment date, as the case may be, and
no interest shall accrue on the amount payable on such date or at such time for
the period from and after such Interest Payment Date, Stated Maturity, Maturity
or other payment date, as the case may be, to the next succeeding Business Day.

 

Section 115.                                Counterparts.

 

This Indenture may be
executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of

Section 116.                                Judgment

for the purpose of obtaining judgment against it in any court, it is necessary
to convert the sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest,
if any, or Additional Amounts on the Securities of any series (the “Required
Currency”) into a currency in which a judgment will be rendered (the “Judgment
Currency”), the rate of exchange used shall be the rate at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the Trustee could purchase in The City of New
York the Required Currency with the Judgment Currency on the New York Banking
Day preceding that on which a final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its
obligations under this Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall
not be discharged or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any
judgment (whether or not entered in accordance with clause (a)), in any
currency other than the Required Currency, except to the extent that such
tender or recovery shall result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the
full amount of the

 

16

 

Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect
of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative or
additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the Required
Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt shall fall short of
the full amount of the Required Currency so expressed to be payable and (iii) shall
not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this
Indenture. For purposes of the foregoing, “New York Banking Day” means any day
except a Saturday, Sunday or a legal holiday in The City of New York or a day
on which banking institutions in The City of New York are authorized or

on a Security which is payable in Dollars.

 

Section 117.                                Extension of
Payment Dates.

 

In the event that (i) the
terms of any Security or Coupon appertaining thereto established in or pursuant
to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder thereof to extend the date
on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any,
on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to such Security or Coupon is
due and payable and (ii) the due date for any such payment shall have been

(and all references of like import) shall be deemed to refer to the date as so
extended.

 

Section 118.                                Immunity of
Shareholders, Directors, Officers and Agents of the Company.

 

No recourse under or upon
any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture or in any
Security, or because of any indebtedness evidenced thereby, or for any claim
based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had against any past,
present or future shareholder, incorporator, employee, officer or director, as

Securities; it being expressly understood that, without limitation to the
foregoing, this Indenture and the Securities and the obligations created
hereunder and thereunder are solely corporate, limited liability company,

covenants or agreements contained in this Indenture or in any Security or implied
herefrom or therefrom and that any and all such personal liability of every
type and nature, either at common law or in equity or by constitution or

present or future shareholder, incorporator, employee, officer or director, as
such, because of the creation of the indebtedness hereby authorized, or under

17

issuable in global form. If Securities of a series shall be issuable in
temporary or permanent global form, any such Security may provide that it or
any number of such Securities shall represent the aggregate amount of all
Outstanding Securities of such series (or such lesser amount as is permitted by
the terms thereof) from time to time endorsed thereon or reflected on the books
and records of the Trustee and may also provide that the aggregate amount of
Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be increased
or reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of any Security in global form
to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, or changes in
the rights of Holders, of Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be
made in such manner and by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein
or pursuant to Section 301 with respect to such Security or in the Company
Order to be delivered pursuant to Section 303 or 304 with respect thereto.
Subject to the provisions of Section 303 and, if applicable, Section 304,
the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in global form in the
manner and upon instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein
or pursuant to Section 301 with respect to such Security or in the
applicable Company Order. If a Company Order pursuant to Section 303 or
304 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Company
with respect to a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not be
accompanied by or contained in an Officers’ Certificate and need not be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions
of this paragraph, in the event a global Security is exchangeable for
definitive Securities as provided in Section 305, then, unless otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with respect to the Securities of
such series, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver such global Security to
the extent necessary to effect such exchanges, shall endorse such global
Security to reflect any decrease in the principal amount thereto resulting from
such exchanges and shall take such other actions, all as contemplated by Section 305.

 

Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise specified in or pursuant to
this Indenture or any Securities, payment of principal of, any premium and
interest on, and any Additional Amounts in respect of, any Security in
temporary or permanent global form shall be made to the Person or Persons
specified therein.

 

Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 308 and except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company and the
Trustee shall treat as the Holder of such principal amount of Outstanding
Securities represented by a global Security (i) in the case of a global
Security in registered form, the Holder of such global Security in registered
form, or (ii) in the case of a global Security in bearer form, the Person
or Persons specified pursuant to Section 301.

in addition to or other than the place where the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee may from time to time be located, the place or places where the
principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on, and Additional
Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities shall be payable, any of such
Securities that are Registered Securities may be surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange, any of such Securities may be surrendered for

to any sinking fund or analogous provision or at the option of any Holder
thereof and, if so, the date or dates on which, the period or periods within
which, the price or prices at which and the other terms and conditions upon
which such Securities shall be redeemed or purchased, in whole or in part,
pursuant to such obligation, and any provisions for the remarketing of such
Securities so redeemed or purchased;

 

(12)         the
denominations in which any of such Securities that are Registered Securities
shall be issuable if other than denominations of $1,000 and any integral

other than the principal amount thereof, the portion of the principal amount of
any of such Securities that shall be payable upon declaration of acceleration
of the Maturity thereof pursuant to Section 502 or the method by which
such portion is to be determined;

to facilitate the issuance of Securities denominated or payable, at the
election of the Company or a Holder thereof or otherwise, in a Foreign
Currency;

 

(17)         if
the amount of payments of principal of, any premium or interest on or any
Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities may be determined with
reference to an index, formula or other method or methods (which index, formula
or method or methods may be based, without limitation, on one or more
Currencies, commodities, equity indices or other indices), and, if so, the
terms and conditions upon which and the method by which such amounts shall be

Indenture as of its date shall be applicable with respect to such Securities,

to the Securities of such series which shall be subject to covenant defeasance,
and, if the Securities of such series are subject to repurchase or repayment at

22

 

to Article Thirteen, if the Company’s obligation to repurchase or
repay such Securities will not be subject to satisfaction and discharge
pursuant to Section 401 or to defeasance pursuant to Section 402,
and, if the Holders of such Securities have the right to convert or exchange
such Securities into Common Shares or other securities or property, if the
right to effect such conversion or exchange will be subject to satisfaction and
discharge pursuant to Section 401 or to defeasance or covenant defeasance
pursuant to Section 402, and any deletions from, or modifications or

delivered;

 

(21)         if

documents or conditions;

 

(22)         whether

(24)         the
Person to whom any interest on any Registered Security of such series shall be
payable, if other than the Person in whose name the Registered Security (or one
or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the
Regular Record Date for such interest, the manner in which, or the Person to
whom, any interest on any Bearer Security of such series shall be payable, if
other than upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto
as they severally mature, and the extent to which, or the manner in which, any
interest payable on a temporary global Security will be paid if other than in
the manner provided in this Indenture;

All Securities of any one
series and all Coupons, if any, appertaining to Bearer Securities of such
series shall be substantially identical except as to Currency of payments due
thereunder,

 

23

 

denomination and the rate of interest, or method of
determining the rate of interest, if any, Maturity, and the date from which
interest, if any, shall accrue and except as may otherwise be provided by the
Company in or pursuant to the Board Resolution and set forth in the Officers’
Certificate or in any indenture or indentures supplemental hereto pertaining to
such series of Securities. The terms of the Securities of any series may
provide, without limitation, that the Securities shall be authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee on original issue from time to time upon written or
(if acceptable to the Trustee) oral order of persons designated in the Board
Resolution, Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture, as the case may
be, pertaining to such series of Securities (telephonic instructions to be
promptly confirmed in writing by such person) and that such persons are
authorized to determine, consistent with such Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture, such terms and conditions of the
Securities of such series as are specified in such Board Resolution, Officers’
Certificate or supplemental indenture. All Securities of any one series need
not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise provided by the Company as
contemplated by this Section 301, a series may be reopened from time to
time without the consent of any Holders for issuances of additional Securities
of such series.

 

If any of the terms of
the Securities of any series shall be established by action taken by or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions, such Board Resolutions shall be
delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Officers’
Certificate setting forth the terms of such series.

 

Section 302.                                Currency;
Denominations.

 

Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, the principal of, any premium and interest on
and any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities shall be payable in
Dollars. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, Registered
Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in registered form without
Coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples thereof, and the
Bearer Securities denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in the denomination
of $5,000. Securities not denominated in Dollars shall be issuable in such
denominations as are established with respect to such Securities in or pursuant
to this Indenture.

 

Section 303.                                Execution,
Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

 

Securities shall be
executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer,
its President or one of its Vice Presidents and by its Treasurer, one of its
Assistant Treasurers, its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries and may
(but need not) have its corporate or other seal or a facsimile thereof
reproduced thereon. Coupons shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or any of its Vice
Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities or any
Coupons appertaining thereto may be manual or facsimile.

 

Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall, to
the fullest extent permitted by law, bind the Company, notwithstanding that
such individuals or any

 

24

 

of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at
the date of such Securities or Coupons.

 

At any time and from time
to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may
deliver Securities, together with any Coupons appertaining thereto, executed by
the Company, to the Trustee for authentication and, provided that the Board
Resolution and Officers’ Certificate or supplemental indenture or indentures
with respect to such Securities referred to in Section 301 and a Company
Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities have been
delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order and
subject to the provisions hereof and of such Securities shall authenticate and
deliver such Securities. In authenticating such Securities, and accepting the
additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and (subject to the applicable provisions of Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of
the Trust Indenture Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion
of Counsel to the following effect, which Opinion of Counsel may contain such
assumptions, qualifications and limitations as such counsel shall deem
appropriate:

 

(a)           the
form or forms and terms of such Securities and Coupons, if any, have been
established in conformity with Sections 201 and 301 of this Indenture; and

 

(b)           all
conditions precedent set forth in Sections 201, 301 and 303 of this
Indenture to the authentication and delivery of such Securities and Coupons, if
any, appertaining thereto have been complied with and that such Securities, and
Coupons, when completed by appropriate insertions (if applicable), executed by
duly authorized officers of the Company, delivered by duly authorized officers
of the Company to the Trustee for authentication pursuant to this Indenture,
and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Company in the
manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will
constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against
the Company in accordance with their terms, except as enforcement thereof may
be subject to or limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium,
arrangement, fraudulent conveyance, fraudulent transfer or other similar laws
relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally, and subject to general
principles of equity (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a
proceeding in equity or at law).

 

If all the Securities of
any series are not to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to
deliver an Opinion of Counsel at the time of issuance of each Security, but
such opinion, with such modifications as counsel shall deem appropriate, shall
be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the first Security of such
series. After any such first delivery, any separate request by the Company that
the Trustee authenticate Securities of such series for original issue will be
deemed to be a certification by the Company that all conditions precedent
provided for in this Indenture relating to authentication and delivery of such
Securities continue to have been complied with.

 

The Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate or to cause an Authenticating Agent to authenticate
any Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will
affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and
this Indenture or otherwise in

 

25

 

a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the
Trustee or if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such
action may not lawfully be taken.

 

Each Registered Security
shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Bearer Security and any
Bearer Security in global form shall be dated as of the date specified in or
pursuant to this Indenture.

 

No Security or Coupon
appertaining thereto shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or
be valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for in Section 202
or 611 executed by or on behalf of the Trustee or by the Authenticating Agent
by the manual signature of one of its authorized signatories. Such certificate
upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that
such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Except as
permitted by Section 306 or 307 or as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant
to this Indenture, the Trustee shall not authenticate and deliver any Bearer
Security unless all Coupons appertaining thereto then matured have been
detached and cancelled.

 

Section 304.                                Temporary
Securities.

 

Pending the preparation
of definitive Securities, the Company may execute and deliver to the Trustee
and, upon Company Order, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
manner provided in Section 303, temporary Securities in lieu thereof which
are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in
any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive
Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form or, if
authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture, in bearer form with one or more
Coupons or without Coupons and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers of the Company executing
such Securities may determine, as conclusively evidenced by their execution of
such Securities. Such temporary Securities may be in global form.

 

Except in the case of
temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in accordance
with the provisions set forth in this Indenture or the provisions established
pursuant to Section 301, if temporary Securities are issued, the Company
shall cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay.
Except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, after the
preparation of definitive Securities of the same series and containing terms
and provisions that are identical to those of any temporary Securities, such
temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for such definitive Securities upon
surrender of such temporary Securities at an Office or Agency for such
Securities, without charge to any Holder thereof. Except as otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities (accompanied by any unmatured Coupons appertaining
thereto), the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities
of authorized denominations of the same series and containing identical terms
and provisions; provided, however, that no
definitive Bearer Security, except as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Registered Security;
and provided, further, that a definitive
Bearer Security shall be delivered in exchange for a temporary Bearer Security
only in compliance with the conditions set forth in or pursuant to this
Indenture. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture with
respect to a temporary global Security, until so exchanged the temporary
Securities of any

 

26

 

series shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series.

 

Section 305.                                Registration,
Transfer and Exchange.

 

With respect to the
Registered Securities of each series, if any, the Company shall cause to be
kept a register (each such register being herein sometimes referred to as the
“Security Register”) at an Office or Agency for such series in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide
for the registration of the Registered Securities of such series and of
transfers of the Registered Securities of such series. Such Office or Agency
shall be the “Security Registrar” for that series of Securities. Unless
otherwise specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities, the
initial Security Registrar for each series of Securities shall be as specified
in the last paragraph of Section 1002. The Company shall have the right to
remove and replace from time to time the Security Registrar for any series of
Securities; provided that no such removal or replacement shall be effective
until a successor Security Registrar with respect to such series of Securities
shall have been appointed by the Company and shall have accepted such
appointment. In the event that the Trustee shall not be or shall cease to be
Security Registrar with respect to a series of Securities, it shall have the
right to examine the Security Register for such series at all reasonable times.
There shall be only one Security Register for each series of Securities.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Registered Security of any series at any Office or Agency for
such series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Registered Securities of the same series denominated as authorized in or
pursuant to this Indenture, of a like aggregate principal amount bearing a
number not contemporaneously outstanding and containing identical terms and
provisions.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, at the option of the Holder,
Registered Securities of any series may be exchanged for other Registered
Securities of the same series containing identical terms and provisions, in any
authorized denominations, and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon
surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at any Office or Agency for such
series. Whenever any Registered Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Registered Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

 

If provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture, with respect to Securities of any series, at the
option of the Holder, Bearer Securities of such series may be exchanged for
Registered Securities of such series containing identical terms, denominated as
authorized in or pursuant to this Indenture and in the same aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Bearer Securities to be exchanged at any Office
or Agency for such series, with all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons
in default thereto appertaining. If the Holder of a Bearer Security is unable
to produce any such unmatured Coupon or Coupons or matured Coupon or Coupons in
default, such exchange may be effected if the Bearer Securities are accompanied
by payment in funds acceptable to the Company and the Trustee in an amount
equal to the face amount of such missing Coupon or Coupons, or the surrender of
such missing Coupon or Coupons may be

 

27

 

waived by the Company and the Trustee if there is
furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each
of them and any Paying Agent harmless from and against any and all loss,
liability or expense. If thereafter the Holder of such Bearer Security shall
surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which such
a payment shall have been made, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the
amount of such payment; provided, however,
that, except as otherwise provided in Section 1002, interest represented
by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those
Coupons at an Office or Agency for such series located outside the United
States. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in case a Bearer Security of any series
is surrendered at any such Office or Agency for such series in exchange for a
Registered Security of such series and like tenor after the close of business
at such Office or Agency on (i) any Regular Record Date and before the
opening of business at such Office or Agency on the relevant Interest Payment
Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date and before the opening of business
at such Office or Agency on the related date for payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such
Interest Payment Date or proposed date of payment, as the case may be (or, if
such Coupon is so surrendered with such Bearer Security, such Coupon shall be
returned to the Person so surrendering the Bearer Security), and interest or
Defaulted Interest, as the case may be, shall not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date or proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of
the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but shall
be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions
of this Indenture.

 

If provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to Securities of any series, at the
option of the Holder, Registered Securities of such series may be exchanged for
Bearer Securities upon such terms and conditions as may be provided in or
pursuant to this Indenture with respect to such series.

 

Whenever any Securities
are surrendered for exchange as contemplated by the immediately preceding two
paragraphs, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, the Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the
global Securities of any series shall be exchangeable for definitive certificated
Securities of such series only if (i) the Depository for such global
Securities notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a
Depository for such global Securities or at any time the Depository for such
global Securities ceases to be a clearing agency registered as such under the
Exchange Act, if so required by applicable law or regulation, and no successor
Depository for such Securities shall have been appointed within 90 days of
such notification or of the Company becoming aware of the Depository’s ceasing
to be so registered, as the case may be, (ii) the Company, in its sole
discretion, determines that the Securities of such series shall no longer be
represented by one or more global Securities and executes and delivers to the
Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global Securities shall be so
exchangeable, or (iii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
with respect to such Securities.

 

If the beneficial owners
of interests in a global Security are entitled to exchange such interests for
definitive Securities as the result of an event described in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) of the

 

28

 

preceding paragraph, then without unnecessary delay
but in any event not later than the earliest date on which such interests may
be so exchanged, the Company shall deliver to the Trustee definitive Securities
in such form and denominations as are required by or pursuant to this
Indenture, and of the same series, containing identical terms and in aggregate
principal amount equal to the principal amount of such global Security,
executed by the Company. On or after the earliest date on which such interests
may be so exchanged, such global Security shall be surrendered from time to
time by the Depository (or its custodian) as shall be specified in the Company
Order with respect thereto (which the Company agrees to deliver), and in
accordance with instructions given to the Trustee and the Depository (which
instructions shall be in writing but need not be contained in or accompanied by
an Officers’ Certificate or be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), as shall
be specified in the Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, as the
Company’s agent for such purpose, to be exchanged, in whole or in part, for
definitive Securities as described above without charge. The Trustee shall
authenticate and make available for delivery, in exchange for each portion of
such surrendered global Security, a like aggregate principal amount of
definitive Securities of the same series of authorized denominations and of
like tenor as the portion of such global Security to be exchanged, which
(unless such Securities are not issuable both as Bearer Securities and as
Registered Securities, in which case the definitive Securities exchanged for
the global Security shall be issuable only in the form in which the Securities
are issuable, as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) shall be in the
form of Bearer Securities or Registered Securities, or any combination thereof,
and which shall be in such denominations and, in the case of Registered
Securities, registered in such names, as shall be specified by the Depository,
but subject to the satisfaction of any certification or other requirements to the
issuance of Bearer Securities; provided, however, that no such exchanges may
occur during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any
selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed and ending on the
relevant Redemption Date; and provided, further,
that (unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture) no Bearer
Security delivered in exchange for a portion of a global Security shall be
mailed or otherwise delivered to any location in the United States. Promptly
following any such exchange in part, such global Security shall be returned by
the Trustee to such Depository (or its custodian) or such other Depository (or
its custodian) referred to above in accordance with the instructions of the
Company referred to above, and the Trustee shall endorse such global Security
to reflect the decrease in the principal amount thereof resulting from such
exchange. If a Registered Security is issued in exchange for any portion of a
global Security after the close of business at the Office or Agency for such
Security where such exchange occurs on or after (i) any Regular Record
Date for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or
Agency on the next Interest Payment Date, or (ii) any Special Record Date
for such Security and before the opening of business at such Office or Agency
on the related proposed date for payment of interest or Defaulted Interest, as
the case may be, interest shall not be payable on such Interest Payment Date or
proposed date for payment, as the case may be, in respect of such Registered
Security, but shall be payable on such Interest Payment Date or proposed date
for payment, as the case may be, only to the Person to whom interest in respect
of such portion of such global Security shall be payable in accordance with the
provisions of this Indenture.

 

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 entitling the Holders
thereof to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Securities surrendered
upon such registration of transfer or exchange.

 

29

 

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

 

No service charge shall
be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, or any
redemption or repayment of Securities, or any conversion or exchange of
Securities for other types of securities or property, but the Company may
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 905
or 1107, upon repayment or repurchase in part of any Registered Security
pursuant to Article Thirteen, or upon surrender in part of any Registered
Security for conversion or exchange into Common Shares or other securities or
property pursuant to its terms, in each case not involving any transfer.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, the Company shall not be required (i) to
issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities during a period
beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the selection
for redemption of Securities of like tenor and terms and of the same series
under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such
selection, or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Registered
Security, or portion thereof, so selected for redemption, except in the case of
any Registered Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be
redeemed, or (iii) to exchange any Bearer Security so selected for
redemption except, to the extent provided with respect to such Bearer Security,
that such Bearer Security may be exchanged for a Registered Security of like
tenor and terms and of the same series, provided that such Registered Security
shall be simultaneously surrendered for redemption with written instruction for
payment consistent with the provisions of this Indenture or (iv) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Security which, in accordance with its
terms, has been surrendered for repayment at the option of the Holder pursuant
to Article Thirteen and not withdrawn, except the portion, if any, of such
Security not to be so repaid.

 

Section 306.                                Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

 

If any mutilated Security
or a Security with a mutilated Coupon appertaining to it is surrendered to the
Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section 306, the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a
new Security of the same series containing identical terms and of like
principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with
Coupons appertaining thereto corresponding to the Coupons, if any, appertaining
to the surrendered Security.

 

If there be delivered to
the Company and to the Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the
destruction, loss or theft of any Security or Coupon, 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 from and against any and all loss, liability
or expense, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that
such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company
shall execute and, upon the Company’s request the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in

 

30

 

exchange for or in
lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange
for the Security to which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains with
all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen, a new Security of the
same series containing identical terms and of like principal amount and bearing
a number not contemporaneously outstanding, with Coupons corresponding to the
Coupons, if any, appertaining to such destroyed, lost or stolen Security or to
the Security to which such destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing
provisions of this Section 306, in case any mutilated, destroyed, lost or
stolen Security or Coupon 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 or Coupon; provided, however,
that payment of principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any Bearer Securities shall, except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002, be payable only at an Office or Agency for such
Securities located outside the United States and, unless otherwise provided in
or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on Bearer Securities and any
Additional Amounts with respect to such interest shall be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

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

 

Every new Security, with
any Coupons appertaining thereto issued pursuant to this Section in lieu
of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, or in exchange for a Security to
which a destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains shall constitute a separate
obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen
Security and Coupons appertaining thereto or the destroyed, lost or stolen
Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all
the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all
other Securities of such series and any Coupons, if any, duly issued hereunder.

 

The provisions of this
Section, as amended or supplemented pursuant to this Indenture with respect to
particular Securities or generally, shall (to the extent lawful) be 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 or Coupons.

 

Section 307.                                Payment of
Interest and Certain Additional Amounts; Rights to Interest and Certain
Additional Amounts Preserved.

 

Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, and are
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be
paid to the Person in whose name such Security (or one or more Predecessor
Securities) is registered as of the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest. Unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, in case a Bearer Security is surrendered in exchange for a
Registered Security after the close of business at an Office or Agency for such
Security on any Regular Record Date therefor and before the opening of business
at such Office or Agency on the next succeeding Interest Payment Date therefor,
such Bearer Security shall be surrendered without the Coupon

 

31

 

relating to such
Interest Payment Date and interest shall not be payable on such Interest
Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such
Bearer Security, but shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when
due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture.

 

Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture, any interest on and any Additional Amounts
with respect to any Registered Security which shall be payable, but shall not
be punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for such
Registered Security (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder thereof 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 Person in
whose name such Registered Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall
be 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 such Registered 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 on or prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money
when so deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Person entitled to
such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon, the Trustee
shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest
which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the
date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly
notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the
expense of the Company shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to the Holder of such Registered Security (or a
Predecessor Security thereof) at his address as it appears in the Security
Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee
may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company cause a
similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper of
general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, but such
publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such
Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest
and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such
Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Person in whose name such Registered
Security (or a Predecessor Security thereof) shall be registered at the close
of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant
to the following clause (2). In case a Bearer Security is surrendered at the
Office or Agency for such Security in exchange for a Registered Security after
the close of business at such Office or Agency on any Special Record Date and
before the opening of business at such Office or Agency on the related proposed
date for payment of Defaulted Interest, such Bearer Security shall be
surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Defaulted Interest and
Defaulted Interest shall not be payable on such proposed date of payment in
respect of the

 

32

 

Registered Security issued in exchange for such Bearer Security, but
shall be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with
the provisions of this Indenture.

 

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

 

Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any particular series, at
the option of the Company, interest on Registered Securities that bear interest
may be paid by mailing a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto as
such address shall appear in the Security Register or by transfer to an account
maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America.

 

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

 

Section 308.                                Persons
Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to due presentment
of a Registered Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
such Registered Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of
such Registered Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of,
any premium and (subject to Sections 305 and 307) interest on and any
Additional Amounts with respect to such Registered Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to such Registered
Security shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee or any agent of
the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

The Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the bearer of any Bearer
Security or the bearer of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Security or
Coupon for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and
for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not any payment with respect to
such Security or Coupon shall be overdue, and none of the Company, the Trustee
or any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

 

No holder of any
beneficial interest in any global Security held on its behalf by a Depository
shall have any rights under this Indenture with respect to such global
Security, and such Depository may be treated by the Company, the Trustee, and
any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the owner of such global Security
for all purposes whatsoever. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent
or the Security Registrar 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 for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

 

33

 

Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee, any Paying
Agent or the Security Registrar from giving effect to any written certification,
proxy or other authorization furnished by the applicable Depository, as a
Holder, with respect to a global Security or impair, as between such Depository
and the owners of beneficial interests in such global Security, the operation
of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of such Depository
(or its nominee) as the Holder of such global Security.

 

Section 309.                                Cancellation.

 

All Securities and
Coupons surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer, exchange
or conversion or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if
surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee,
and any such Securities and Coupons, as well as Securities and Coupons
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose, shall be cancelled
promptly by the Trustee. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all
Securities so delivered shall be cancelled promptly 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 or
pursuant to this Indenture. All cancelled Securities and Coupons held by the
Trustee shall be destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with customary
procedures.

 

Section 310.                                Computation
of Interest.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or in the Securities of any series,
interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of
twelve 30-day months.

 

ARTICLE FOUR

SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

 

Section 401.                                Satisfaction
and Discharge.

 

Unless, pursuant to Section 301,
the provisions of this Section 401 shall not be applicable with respect to
the Securities of any series, upon the direction of the Company by a Company
Order, this Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any
series of Securities specified in such Company Order and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, and the Trustee, on receipt of a Company Order, at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when

 

(1)                                  either

 

(a)                                  all
Securities of such series theretofore authenticated and delivered and all

Bearer Securities of such series surrendered in exchange for Registered
Securities of such series and maturing after such exchange whose surrender is
not required or has been waived as provided in Section 305, (ii) Securities
and Coupons of

 

34

 

such series which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have
been replaced or paid as provided in Section 306, (iii) Coupons

after the relevant Redemption Date whose surrender has been waived as provided

(b)                                 all
Securities of such series and, in the case of (i) or (ii) below, if
applicable, any Coupons appertaining thereto 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, or

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 in trust for such
purpose, money in the Currency in which such Securities are payable in an
amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto not theretofore delivered to
the Trustee for cancellation, including the principal of, any premium and
interest on, and, to the extent that the Securities of such series provide for
the payment of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount of any such Additional
Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of such series
is at the time of deposit reasonably determinable by the Company (in the
exercise by the Company of its sole and absolute discretion), any Additional
Amounts with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due
and payable) or to the Maturity thereof, as the case may be;

 

(2)                                  the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the
Company with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto; and

 

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

 

35

 

In the event there are
Securities of two or more series Outstanding hereunder, the Trustee shall be
required to execute an instrument acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of
this Indenture only if requested to do so with respect to Securities of such
series as to which it is Trustee and if the other conditions thereto are met.

 

Notwithstanding the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities, the obligations of the Company to the Trustee under Section 606
and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (b) of
clause (1) of this Section, the respective obligations of the Company and
the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series under
Sections 305, 306, 403, 404, 1002 and 1003, any rights of Holders of the
Securities of such series (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the
obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into Common
Shares or other securities or property, and, if expressly provided pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series, any rights of Holders of the
Securities of such series to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and
the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the
option of such Holders as contemplated by Article Thirteen hereof, shall
survive, and, if the Securities of such series provide for the payment of
Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 1004, the Company will remain
obligated, following satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect
to the Securities of such series, to pay Additional Amounts with respect to
such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004, to the extent (and only
to the extent) that the Additional Amounts payable with respect to such
Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such Additional Amounts
pursuant to subclause (b) of clause (1) of this Section.

 

Section 402.                                Defeasance
and Covenant Defeasance.

 

(1)                                  Unless,
pursuant to Section 301, either or both of (i) defeasance of the
Securities of or within a series under clause (2) of this Section 402
or (ii) covenant defeasance of the Securities of or within a series under
clause (3) of this Section 402 shall not be applicable with respect
to the Securities of such series, then such provisions, together with the other
provisions of this Section 402 (with such modifications thereto as may be
specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities), shall
be applicable to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, and the
Company may at its option by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the
Securities of or within such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto, elect
to have Section 402(2) or Section 402(3) be applied to such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Section 402. Unless otherwise
specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any
series, defeasance under clause (2) of this Section 402 and covenant
defeasance under clause (3) of this Section 402 may be effected with
respect to any or all of the Outstanding Securities of any series. To the
extent that the terms of any Security or Coupon appertaining thereto
established in or pursuant to this Indenture permit the Company or any Holder
thereof to extend the date on which any payment of principal of, or premium, if
any, or interest, if any, on, or Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to
such Security or Coupon is due and payable, then unless otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 301, the right to extend such date shall terminate
upon defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be.

 

36

 

(2)                                  Upon
the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(2) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be deemed to
have been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto on the date the conditions set
forth in clause (4) of this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter,
“defeasance”). For this purpose, such defeasance means that the Company shall
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by
such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, which shall
thereafter be deemed to be “Outstanding” only for the purposes of clause (5) of
this Section 402 and the other Sections of this Indenture referred to in
clauses (i) through (iv) of this paragraph, and shall be deemed to
have satisfied all of its other obligations under such Securities and any
Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture insofar as such Securities and
any Coupons appertaining thereto are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder:  (i) the
rights of Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto to receive, solely (except as provided in clause (ii) below) from
the trust fund described in clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 and as
more fully set forth in this Section 402 and Section 403, payments in
respect of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on, and
Additional Amounts, if any, with respect to, such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto when such payments are due, (ii) the obligations of
the Company and the Trustee with respect to such Securities under Sections 305,
306, 1002 and 1003 and, if applicable to the Securities of such series, any
rights of Holders of such Securities (unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series) to convert or exchange, and the
obligations of the Company to convert or exchange, such Securities into Common
Shares or other securities or property, and, if expressly provided pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series, any rights of Holders of the
Securities of such series to require the Company to repurchase or repay, and
the obligations of the Company to repurchase or repay, such Securities at the
option of such Holders as contemplated by Article Thirteen hereof, and, if
the Securities of such series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts
pursuant to Section 1004, the Company will remain obligated, following
defeasance of this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series, to
pay Additional Amounts with respect to such Securities as contemplated by Section 1004,
to the extent (and only to the extent) that the Additional Amounts payable with
respect to such Securities exceed the amount deposited in respect of such
Additional Amounts pursuant to clause 4(a) of this Section 402, (iii) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (iv) this
Section 402 and Sections 403 and 404. The Company may exercise its
option under this Section 402(2) notwithstanding the prior exercise
of its option under Section 402(3) with respect to such Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

(3)                                  Upon
the Company’s exercise of the above option applicable to this Section 402(3) with
respect to any Securities of or within a series, the Company shall be released
from its obligations under any covenants applicable to such Securities which
are specified pursuant to Section 301 as being subject to covenant
defeasance on and after the date the conditions set forth in clause (4) of
this Section 402 are satisfied (hereinafter, “covenant defeasance”), and
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall thereafter be deemed
to be not “Outstanding” for the purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or
declaration or Act of Holders (and the consequences of any thereof) in
connection with any such covenant, but shall continue to be deemed
“Outstanding” for all other purposes hereunder. For this purpose, such covenant

 

37

 

defeasance means that with respect to such Outstanding
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, 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 covenant, whether directly or indirectly, by
reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or such other
covenant or by reason of reference in any such Section or such other
covenant to any other provision herein or in any other document and such
omission to comply shall not constitute a default or an Event of Default under Section 501(5) or
501(11) or otherwise, as the case may be, but, except as specified above, the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities and Coupons appertaining
thereto shall be unaffected thereby.

 

(4)                                  The
following shall be the conditions to application of clause (2) or (3) of
this Section 402 to any Outstanding Securities of or within a series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto:

 

(a)                                  The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements of Section 607 who
shall agree to comply with the provisions of this Section 402 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
benefit of the Holders of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto,
(1) an amount in Dollars or in such Foreign Currency in which such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto are then specified as payable
at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant defeasance is to be effected
in compliance with subsection (f) below, on the relevant Redemption
Date, as the case may be, or (2) Government Obligations applicable to such
Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto (determined on the basis of the
Currency in which such Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto are then
specified as payable at Stated Maturity or, if such defeasance or covenant
defeasance is to be effected in compliance with subsection (f) below,
on the relevant Redemption Date, as the case may be) 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 of principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, on such
Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, money in an amount, or (3) a
combination thereof, in any case, in an amount, sufficient, without
consideration of any reinvestment of such principal and interest, in the
opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay
and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, (y) the principal of (and premium, if any)
and interest, if any, on, and, to the extent that such Securities provide for
the payment of Additional Amounts thereon and the amount of any such Additional
Amounts which are or will be payable with respect to the Securities of such
series is at the time of deposit reasonably determinable by the Company (in the
exercise by the Company of its sole and absolute discretion), any Additional
Amounts with respect to, such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto on the Stated Maturity of such principal or installment of
principal or interest or the applicable Redemption Date, as the case may be,
and (z) any mandatory sinking fund payments or analogous payments
applicable to such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
on the day on which such payments are

 

38

 

due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

(b)                                 Such
defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, this Indenture.

 

(c)                                  No
Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would
become an Event of Default with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall have occurred and be continuing on the date of such
deposit, and, solely in the case of defeasance under Section 402(2), no
Event of Default with respect to the Company under clauses (8), (9) or (10) of
Section 501 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto or event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become an
Event of Default with respect to the Company under clauses (8), (9) or (10) of
Section 501 with respect to such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto shall have occurred and be continuing at any time during the period
ending on and including the 91st day after the date of such deposit (it being
understood that this condition to defeasance under Section 402(2) shall
not be deemed satisfied until the expiration of such period).

 

(d)                                 In
the case of defeasance pursuant to Section 402(2), the Company shall have
delivered to the Trustee an opinion of independent counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee stating that (x) the Company has received from,
or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since
the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable U.S. federal
income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such
opinion of independent counsel shall confirm that, the Holders of such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto will not recognize
income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such
defeasance had not occurred; or, in the case of covenant defeasance pursuant to
Section 402(3), the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion
of independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Trustee to the effect that
the Holders of such Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto
will not recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes as
a result of such covenant defeasance and will be subject to U.S. federal income
tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have
been the case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.

 

(e)                                  The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent to the
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, under this Indenture
have been complied with.

 

(f)                                    If
the monies or Government Obligations or combination thereof, as the case may
be, deposited under clause (a) above are sufficient to pay the principal
of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and, to the extent provided
in such clause (a), Additional Amounts with respect to, such Securities
provided such Securities are redeemed on a particular Redemption Date, the
Company shall have given the Trustee

 

39

 

irrevocable instructions to redeem such Securities on such date and to
provide notice of such redemption to Holders as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding
any other provisions of this Section 402(4), such defeasance or covenant
defeasance shall be effected in compliance with any additional or substitute
terms, conditions or limitations which may be imposed on the Company in
connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.

 

(5)                                  Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and
Government Obligations (or other property as may be provided pursuant to Section 301)
(including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee—collectively for purposes of this Section 402(5) and
Section 403, the “Trustee”) pursuant to clause (4)(a) of Section 402
in respect of any Outstanding Securities of any series and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in
accordance with the provisions of such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
Paying Agent (other than the Company or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the
Company acting as Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto of all sums due and to
become due thereon in respect of principal (and premium, if any) and interest
and Additional Amounts, if any, but such money need not be segregated from
other funds except to the extent required by law.

 

Unless otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or any Securities, if, after a
deposit referred to in Section 402(4)(a) has been made, (a) the
Holder of a Security in respect of which such deposit was made is entitled to,
and does, elect pursuant to Section 301 or the terms of such Security to
receive payment in a Currency other than that in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has
been made in respect of such Security, or (b) a Conversion Event occurs in
respect of the Foreign Currency in which the deposit pursuant to Section 402(4)(a) has
been made, the indebtedness represented by such Security and any Coupons
appertaining thereto shall be deemed to have been, and will be, fully
discharged and satisfied through the payment of the principal of (and premium,
if any), and interest, if any, on, and Additional Amounts, if any, with respect
to, such Security as the same becomes due out of the proceeds yielded by
converting (from time to time as specified below in the case of any such
election) the amount or other property deposited in respect of such Security
into the Currency in which such Security becomes payable as a result of such
election or Conversion Event based on (x) in the case of payments made
pursuant to clause (a) above, the applicable market exchange rate for such
Currency in effect on the second Business Day prior to each payment date, or (y) with
respect to a Conversion Event, the applicable market exchange rate for such
Foreign Currency in effect (as nearly as feasible) at the time of the
Conversion Event.

 

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 402
or the principal or 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 such
Outstanding Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

40

 

Anything in this Section 402
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 (or other property and any proceeds therefrom) held by it as
provided in clause (4)(a) of this Section 402 which, in the opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the
amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect a
defeasance or covenant defeasance, as applicable, in accordance with this Section 402.

 

Section 403.                                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 or 402 shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Securities,
the Coupons 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,
premium, interest and Additional Amounts for whose payment such money has or
Government Obligations have been deposited with or received by the Trustee; but
such money and Government Obligations need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

 

Section 404.                                Reinstatement.

 

If the Trustee (or other
qualifying trustee appointed pursuant to Section 402(4)(a)) or any Paying
Agent is unable to apply any moneys or Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 401(1) or 402(4)(a) to pay any principal of
or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with
respect to the Securities of the applicable series by reason of any legal
proceeding or any order or judgment of any court or governmental authority
enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the
Company’s obligations under this Indenture and the Securities of such series
shall be revived and reinstated as though no such deposit had occurred, until
such time as the Trustee (or other qualifying trustee) or Paying Agent is
permitted to apply all such moneys and Government Obligations to pay the principal
of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and Additional Amounts, if
any, in respect of the Securities of such series as contemplated by
Sections 401 or 402 as the case may be, and Section 403; provided, however, that
if the Company makes any payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, in respect of the Securities
of such series following the reinstatement of its obligations as aforesaid, the
Company shall be subrogated to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to
receive such payment from the funds held by the Trustee (or other qualifying
trustee) or Paying Agent.

of a custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property; or

 

(iv)      makes a general assignment

any Significant Subsidiary of the Company seeking liquidation, reorganization
or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy,
insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the
appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar
official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary
case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of
60 days; or

Section 502.                                Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

 

If an Event of Default
(other than an Event of Default specified in clauses (8), (9) or (10) of
Section 501 with respect to the Company) occurs and is continuing with
respect to Securities of any series, then either the Trustee or the Holders of
not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of such series may declare the principal of all the Securities of such series,
or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of such series,
and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to be due and payable
immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given
by the Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal or such lesser
amount, as the case may be, and such accrued and unpaid interest shall become
immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (8), (9) or
(10) of Section 501 with respect to the Company occurs with respect
to the Securities of any series, then the principal of all of the Securities of
such series, or such lesser amount as may be provided for in the Securities of
such series, and accrued an unpaid interest, if any, thereon shall ipso facto
become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act
on the part of the Trustee or any Holder of the Securities of such series. For
purposes of clarity, the parties hereto agree that references in this Indenture
to an Event of Default specified in clauses (8), (9) or (10) of Section 501
with respect to the Company shall not include any Event of Default specified in
clauses (8), (9) or (10) of Section 501 with respect to any
Significant Subsidiary of the Company.

 

At any time after
Securities of any series have been accelerated (whether by declaration of the
Trustee or the Holders or automatically) 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 such 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 of money sufficient to pay
(or, to the extent that the terms of the Securities of such series established
pursuant to Section 301 expressly provide for payment to be made in Common
Shares or other securities or property, Common Shares or other securities or
property, together with cash in lieu of fractional shares or securities to the
extent required pursuant to the terms of such Securities, sufficient to pay)

 

44

 

(a)                                  all
overdue installments of any interest on any Securities of such series and any
Coupons appertaining thereto which have become due otherwise than by such
declaration of acceleration and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto,

 

(b)                                 the
principal of and any premium on any Securities of such series which have become
due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any Additional
Amounts with respect thereto and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
interest thereon at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, provided
for in or with respect to such Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so
provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne
by such Securities,

 

(c)                                  to
the extent permitted by applicable law, interest upon installments of any
interest, if any, which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any Additional Amounts with respect thereto at the rate or
respective rates, as the case may be, provided for in or with respect to such
Securities, or, if no such rate or rates are so provided, at the rate or
respective rates, as the case may be, of interest borne by such Securities, and

 

(d)                                 all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
fees and expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 606; and

 

(2)                                  all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of such series other than the
non-payment of the principal of, any premium and interest on, and any
Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series which shall have
become due solely by such declaration of acceleration, shall have been cured or
waived as provided in Section 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:

 

(1)                                  default
is made in the payment of any interest on, or any Additional Amounts payable in
respect of any interest on, any Security or any Coupon appertaining thereto
when such interest or Additional Amounts, as the case may be, shall have become
due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or

 

(2)                                  default
is made in the payment of any principal of or premium, if any, on, or any
Additional Amounts payable in respect of any principal of or premium, if any,
on, any Security at its Maturity, or

 

(1)                                  default
is made in the deposit of any sinking fund payment when due,

 

45

 

the Company shall, upon
demand of the Trustee, pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, the whole amount of money
then due and payable with respect to such Securities and any Coupons
appertaining thereto, with interest upon the overdue principal, any premium
and, to the extent permitted by applicable law, upon any overdue installments
of interest and Additional Amounts at the rate or respective rates, as the case
may be, provided for or with respect to such Securities or, if no such rate or
rates are so provided, at the rate or respective rates, as the case may be, of
interest borne by such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount of money as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other amounts due to
the Trustee under Section 606.

 

If the Company fails to
pay the money it is required to pay the Trustee pursuant to the preceding
paragraph forthwith upon the demand of the Trustee, the Trustee, in its own
name and as trustee of an express trust, may institute a judicial proceeding
for the collection of the money so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such
proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the
Company or any other obligor upon such Securities and any Coupons appertaining
thereto and collect the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon
such Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto, 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 and any Coupons appertaining
thereto by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most
effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific
enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or such Securities
or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein or therein, or to enforce
any other proper remedy.

 

Section 504.                                Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim.

 

In case of the pendency
of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial proceeding relative to
the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or the property of the
Company or such other obligor or their creditors, the Trustee (irrespective of
whether the principal of the Securities shall then be due and payable as
therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company for the payment of any
overdue principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts) shall be entitled
and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise,

 

(1)                                  to
file and prove a claim for the whole amount, or such lesser amount as may be
provided for in the Securities of such series, of the principal and any premium,
interest and Additional Amounts owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities
and any Coupons appertaining thereto and to file such other papers or documents
as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Trustee, its

 

46

 

agents or counsel) and of the Holders of Securities or any Coupons
allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

 

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

 

and any custodian,
receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official

the Holders of Securities or any Coupons, to pay to the Trustee any amount due
to it for the reasonable compensation, fees and expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and any other amounts due the
Trustee under Section 606.

 

Nothing herein contained
shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept
or adopt on behalf of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or Coupons or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to
vote in respect of the claim of any Holder of a Security or any Coupon in any

All rights of action and
claims under this Indenture or any of the Securities or Coupons may be
prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the
Securities or Coupons 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 or judgment,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, shall be for
the ratable benefit of each and every Holder of a Security or Coupon in respect
of which such judgment has been recovered.

No Holder of any Security
of any series or any Coupons appertaining thereto 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 such series;

 

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

 

(3)                                  such
Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to the Trustee against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities which might
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 principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of such 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 or
any Security to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other such
Holders or Holders of Securities of any other series, or to obtain or to seek
to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right
under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal
and ratable benefit of all such Holders.

 

Section 508.                                Unconditional
Right of Holders to Receive Principal and any Premium, Interest and Additional
Amounts.

 

Notwithstanding any other
provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security or Coupon shall have
the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the
principal of, any premium, if any, and (subject to Sections 305 and 307)
interest, if any, on and any Additional Amounts with respect to such Security
or such Coupon, as the case may be, on the respective Stated Maturity or
Maturities therefor specified in such Security or Coupon (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date or, in the case of repayment pursuant to Article Thirteen
hereof at the option of such Holder if provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture, on the date such repayment is due) and, in the case of any Security
which is convertible into or

 

48

 

exchangeable for
other securities or property, to convert or exchange, as the case may be, such
Security in accordance with its terms, and to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment and any such right to convert or exchange, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

 

Section 509.                                Restoration
of Rights and Remedies.

 

If the Trustee or any
Holder of a Security or a Coupon 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 the Company, the Trustee and each
such Holder shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding, be restored
severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and thereafter
all rights and remedies of the Trustee and each such Holder shall continue as
though no such proceeding had been instituted.

 

Section 510.                                Rights and
Remedies Cumulative.

 

To the extent permitted
by applicable law and except as otherwise provided with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities or
Coupons in the last paragraph of Section 306, no right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to each and every Holder of a
Security or a Coupon is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy,
and every right and remedy, to the extent permitted by law, shall be cumulative
and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or
hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not, to the
extent permitted by law, prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any
other appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 511.                                Delay or
Omission Not Waiver.

 

No delay or omission of
the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security or Coupon to exercise any right or
remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, 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 any Holder of a Security or
a Coupon may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be exercised from time
to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by such
Holder, as the case may be.

 

Section 512.                                Control by
Holders of Securities.

 

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
and any Coupons appertaining thereto, provided that

 

(1)                                  such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this
Indenture or with the Securities of any series,

 

49

 

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

 

(3)                                  such
direction is not unduly prejudicial to the rights of the other Holders of
Securities of such series not joining in such action.

 

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 on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series and
any Coupons appertaining thereto may waive any past default hereunder with
respect to such series and its consequences, except

 

(1)                                  a
default in the payment of the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to, any Security of such series or any Coupons
appertaining thereto, or

 

(2)                                  in
the case of any Securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for
Common Shares or other securities or property, a default in any such conversion
or exchange, or

 

(3)                                  a
default 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.                                Waiver of
Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

 

The Company covenants
that (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law or any usury law or any other law
wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which would prohibit
or forgive the Company from paying all or any portion of the principal of or
premium, if any, or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any, with
respect to any Securities as contemplated herein and therein or which may
affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture or the Securities;
and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) expressly waives all
benefit or advantage of any such law and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee or the
Holders, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

 

Section 515.                                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

 

50

 

for any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of any undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements, against any party litigant in such suit
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made
by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section 515 shall not
apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in
principal amount of Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit
instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of
(or premium, if any) or interest, if any, on or Additional Amounts, if any,
with respect to any Security on or after the respective Stated Maturities
expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the
Redemption Date, and, in the case of repayment at the option of the Holder
pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof, on or after the date for repayment)
or for the enforcement of the right, if any, to convert or exchange any
Security into Common Shares or other securities in accordance with its terms.

occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of such
series entitled to receive reports pursuant to Section 703(3), notice of

been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default
in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), or interest, if any,

authentication, and in any Coupons 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 the Securities or the
Coupons, except that the Trustee represents that it is duly authorized to

obligations hereunder and

 

52

 

that the
statements made by it in a Statement of Eligibility on Form T-1 supplied
to the Company are true and accurate, subject to the qualifications set forth
therein. Neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable
for the use or application by the Company of the Securities or the proceeds

Securities.

 

The Trustee, any
Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security Registrar or any other

any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons
and, subject to Sections 310(b) and 311 of the Trust Indenture Act,
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 Person.

in Trust.

 

Except as provided in Section 403
and Section 1003, money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be

Section 606.                                Compensation
and Reimbursement.

(1)                                  to
pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by the Trustee 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
(including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of
its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may be attributable to the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith; and

 

(3)                                  to
indemnify the Trustee and its agents for, and to hold them harmless against,
any loss, liability or reasonable expense (including, without limitation, the
reasonable fees and disbursements of the Trustee’s agents, legal counsel,
accountants and experts) incurred without negligence or bad faith on their
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 themselves against any claim or liability in connection with the
exercise or performance of any of their powers or duties hereunder, except to
the extent that any such loss, liability or expense was due to the Trustee’s
negligence or bad faith.

 

As security for the
performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee
shall have a lien prior to the Securities of any series upon all property and
funds held or

 

53

 

collected by the
Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the payment of principal of, or
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities or
any Coupons appertaining thereto.

 

Any compensation or
expense incurred by the Trustee after a default specified by Section 501(8),
(9) or (10) is intended to constitute an expense of administration
under any then applicable bankruptcy or insolvency law. “Trustee” for purposes
of this Section 606 shall include any predecessor Trustee but the
negligence or bad faith of any Trustee shall not affect the rights of any other
Trustee under this Section 606. The provisions of this Section 606
shall, to the extent permitted by law, survive any termination of this
Indenture (including, without limitation, termination pursuant to any
Bankruptcy Laws) and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.

 

Section 607.                                Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 

(1)                                  There
shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder that is a Corporation, organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any state
thereof or the District of Columbia, eligible under Section 310(a)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act and that has a combined capital and surplus (computed
in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act) of
at least $50,000,000 subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state
authority. 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.

 

(2)                                  The
following indenture shall be considered specifically described herein for
purposes of clause (i) of the proviso contained in Section 310(b)(1) of
the Trust Indenture Act: Indenture dated as of ·
between the Company and ·, as trustee; and,
pursuant to Section 310(b)(1)(C)(i) of the Trust Indenture Act,
unless otherwise ordered by the Commission, an Event of Default or default by
the Company under this Indenture will not disqualify the Trustee under this Indenture
because it is a trustee under such other indenture.

 

Section 608.                                Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(1)                                  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 pursuant to Section 609.

 

(2)                                  The
Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the Securities of one or more
series by giving written notice thereof to the Company. If the instrument of
acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 609 shall not have
been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such
series.

 

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

 

(4)                                  If
at any time:

 

54

 

(a)                                  the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the obligations imposed upon it under Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act with respect to Securities of any series after written
request therefor by the Company or any Holder of a Security of such series who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six
months, or

 

(b)                                 the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 607 and shall fail to
resign after written request therefor by the Company or any such Holder, or

 

(c)                                  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, (i) the
Company, by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities or the Securities of such series, or (ii) subject
to Section 315(e) of the Trust Indenture Act, any Holder of a
Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated,
petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee
with respect to all Securities of such series and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.

 

(5)                                  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 or pursuant to a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 609. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 609, 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 of Securities and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 609,
any Holder of a Security who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such
series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

(6)                                  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 Registered Securities, if any, of such series as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register and, if Securities of such series are
issued as

 

55

 

Bearer Securities, by publishing notice of such event
once in an Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment located outside the
United States. 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 609.                                Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

(1)                                  Upon
the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Company and 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 hereunder of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or
such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges,
shall execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee
all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and, subject to Section 1003,
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder, subject nevertheless to its
claim, if any, provided for in Section 606.

 

(2)                                  Upon
the appointment hereunder of any successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and such successor Trustee 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, such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the
appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee
is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall contain such provisions
as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights,
powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not
retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall
add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary
to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more
than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such
supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust, 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 that no Trustee shall be responsible for any notice given to,
or received by, or any act or failure to act on the part of any other Trustee
hereunder, 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, such retiring Trustee shall have no further
responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or for the performance of
the duties and obligations vested in the Trustee under this Indenture with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor Trustee relates other than as hereinafter expressly set forth,
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 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 such successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee, upon payment of its charges
with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment
of such successor relates

 

56

 

and subject to Section 1003 shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by
such supplemental indenture, the 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, subject to its claim,
if any, provided for in Section 606.

 

(3)                                  Upon
request of any Person appointed hereunder as a 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 paragraph (1) or (2) of this Section, as the case may
be.

 

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

 

Section 610.                                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 that such
Corporation shall otherwise be 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 such successor 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. In case any Securities shall not have been
authenticated by such predecessor Trustee, any such successor Trustee may
authenticate and deliver such Securities in either its own name or that of its
predecessor Trustee.

 

Section 611.                                Appointment
of Authenticating Agent.

 

The Trustee may appoint
one or more Authenticating Agents acceptable to the Company with respect to one
or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of that or those series issued upon original
issue, exchange, registration of transfer, partial redemption, partial
repayment, partial conversion or exchange for Common Shares or other securities
or property, 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, except as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture, shall at all times be a Corporation that would be permitted by
the Trust Indenture Act to act as trustee under an indenture qualified under
the Trust Indenture Act,

 

57

 

is authorized
under applicable law and by its charter to act as an Authenticating Agent and
has a combined capital and surplus (computed in accordance with Section 310(a)(2) of
the Trust Indenture Act) of at least $50,000,000. If at any time an
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, it 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 agency or
corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall be the successor of
such 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 the
Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and the
Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a
termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall (i) mail written notice of such appointment by
first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of Registered Securities, if
any, of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent shall serve,
as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, and (ii) if
Securities of the series are issued as Bearer Securities, publish notice of
such appointment at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the place where
such successor Authenticating Agent has its principal office if such office is
located outside the United States. Any successor Authenticating Agent, upon
acceptance of its appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if
originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent
shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

The Company agrees to pay
each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its
services under this Section. If the Trustee makes such payments, it shall be
entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 606.

 

The provisions of
Sections 308, 603 and 604 shall be applicable to each Authenticating Agent.

 

If an Authenticating
Agent is appointed with respect to one or more series of Securities pursuant to
this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to or in lieu of the Trustee’s certificate of authentication, an
alternate certificate of authentication in substantially the following form:

 

58

 

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

 

	
   

  	
  ·,

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
       As
  Trustee

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  By:

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  As
  Authenticating Agent

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
  By:

  	
   

  
	
   

  	
   

  	
  Authorized
  Signatory

  

 

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

contemplated by Article Thirteen, or change the Place of Payment where or
the Currency in which the principal of, any premium or interest on, or any
Additional Amounts with respect to any Security is payable, or impair the right
to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the Stated
Maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
Date or, in the case of repayment pursuant to Article Thirteen at the
option of the Holder, on or after the date for repayment) in each case as such
Stated Maturity, Redemption Date or date for repayment may, if applicable, be
extended in accordance with the terms of such Security or any Coupon
appertaining thereto, or in the case of any Security which is convertible

 

64

 

into or exchangeable for other securities or property, impair the right
to institute suit to enforce the right to convert or exchange such Security in
accordance with its terms, or

 

(2)                                  reduce
the percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series,
the consent of whose Holders is required for any such supplemental indenture,
or the consent of whose Holders is required for any waiver (of compliance with
certain provisions of this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their
consequences) provided for in Section 513 or 1006 of this Indenture, or
reduce the requirements of Section 1504 for quorum or voting, or

 

(3)                                  make

Security for Common Shares or other securities or property in accordance with
its terms, or

 

(4)                                  modify
any of the provisions of this Section, Section 513 or Section 1006,
except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent
of the Holder of each Outstanding Security affected thereby.

 

A supplemental indenture
which changes or eliminates any covenant or other provision of this Indenture
which shall have been included solely for the benefit of one or more particular
series of Securities, or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities
of such series with respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be
deemed not to affect the rights under this Indenture of the Holders of
Securities of any other series.

 

Anything in this
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, if more than one series of
Securities is Outstanding, the Company shall be entitled to enter into a
supplemental indenture under this Section 902 with respect to any one or
more series of Outstanding Securities without entering into a supplemental
indenture with respect to any other series of Outstanding Securities.

 

It shall not be necessary
for any Act of Holders of Securities under this Section to approve the
particular form of any proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

 

Section 903.                                Execution of
Supplemental Indentures.

 

As a condition to
executing, or accepting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the
trust created by this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
(subject to Sections 315(a) through 315(d) of the Trust Indenture
Act) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Officers’ Certificate to the
effect that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture and that such supplemental indenture has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by, and is a valid, binding and enforceable
obligation of, the Company, subject to customary exceptions. The Trustee may,
but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

 

65

 

Section 904.                                Effect of
Supplemental Indentures.

 

Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture under this Article, this Indenture shall be modified in
accordance therewith, and such supplemental indenture shall form a part of this
Indenture for all purposes; and every Holder of a Security theretofore or
thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder and of any Coupon appertaining
thereto shall be bound thereby.

 

Section 905.                                Reference in
Securities to Supplemental Indentures.

 

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

 

Section 906.                                Conformity
with Trust Indenture Act.

 

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

 

ARTICLE TEN

COVENANTS

 

Section 1001.                          Payment of
Principal, Premium, Interest and Additional Amounts.

 

The Company covenants and
agrees for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of each series that it
will duly and punctually pay the principal of, any premium and interest on and
any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities of such series, whether
payable in cash, Common Shares or other securities or property, in accordance
with the terms thereof, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture.
Any interest due on any Bearer Security on or before the Maturity thereof, and
any Additional Amounts payable with respect to such interest, shall be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of the Coupons appertaining thereto for
such interest as they severally mature.

 

Section 1002.                          Maintenance
of Office or Agency.

 

The Company shall
maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of Securities an Office or
Agency where Securities of such series (but not Bearer Securities, except as
otherwise provided below, unless such Place of Payment is located outside the
United States) may be presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities of
such series may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, where
Securities of such series that are convertible or exchangeable may be
surrendered for conversion or exchange, and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of such series relating thereto
and this Indenture may be served. If Securities of a series are issuable as
Bearer Securities, the Company

 

66

 

shall maintain,
subject to any laws or regulations applicable thereto, an Office or Agency in a
Place of Payment for such series which is located outside the United States
where Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be
presented and surrendered for payment; provided, however,
that if the Securities of such series are listed on any stock exchange located
outside the United States and such stock exchange shall so require, the Company
shall maintain a Paying Agent in a city located outside the United States
required by such stock exchange, so long as the Securities of such series are
listed on such exchange. The Company will give prompt written notice to the
Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of such Office or
Agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required
Office or Agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof,
such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at
the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, except that Bearer Securities of
such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto may be presented and
surrendered for payment at the place specified for the purpose with respect to
such Securities as provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, and the Company
hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.

 

Except as otherwise
provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, no payment of principal, premium,
interest or Additional Amounts with respect to Bearer Securities shall be made
at any Office or Agency in the United States or by check mailed to any address
in the United States or by transfer to an account maintained with a bank
located in the United States; provided, however,
if amounts owing with respect to any Bearer Securities shall be payable in
Dollars, payment of principal of, any premium or interest on and any Additional
Amounts with respect to any such Security may be made at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee or any Office or Agency designated by the Company in the
United States designated for such purpose, if (but only if) payment of the full
amount of such principal, premium, interest or Additional Amounts at all
offices outside the United States maintained for such purpose by the Company in
accordance with this Indenture is illegal or effectively precluded by exchange
controls or other similar restrictions (in which case the Company shall so
notify the Trustee in writing).

 

The Company may also from
time to time designate one or more other Offices or Agencies where the
Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all
such purposes and may from time to time rescind such designations; provided, however, that no such designation or rescission
shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligations to maintain an
Office or Agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes. The Company shall 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.

 

Unless otherwise provided
in or pursuant to this Indenture (including, without limitation, pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of any series), the Company hereby designates
the place where the Trustee shall from time to time maintain its Corporate
Trust Office as the Company’s Office or Agency for such purpose and initially
appoints the Trustee as the  Security
Registrar for each series of Securities and, if the Securities of any series
are convertible into or exchangeable for Common Shares or other securities or
property, initially appoints the Trustee as conversion or exchange agent, as
the case may be, for the Securities of such series. The Company may
subsequently appoint a different or additional Office or Agency and, as
provided in Section 305, may remove and replace from time to time the
Security Registrar.

 

67

 

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 shall, on or before each due date of the principal of, any premium or
interest on, or any Additional Amounts with respect to any of the Securities of
such series, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons
entitled thereto a sum in the Currency or Currencies in which the Securities of
such series are payable sufficient to pay the principal, any premium, interest
and Additional Amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due until such sums
shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and
shall promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

 

Whenever the Company
shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it shall, on
or prior to each due date of the principal of, or any premium or interest on or
any Additional Amounts with respect to, any Securities of such series, deposit
with any Paying Agent a sum (in the Currency or Currencies described in the
preceding paragraph) sufficient to pay the principal, premium, interest and
Additional Amounts, as the case may be, so becoming due, such sum to be held in
trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto, and (unless such Paying
Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its
action or failure so to act.

 

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

 

(1)                                  hold
all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of, any premium or
interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to Securities of such series
in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall
be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as provided in or pursuant to
this Indenture;

 

(2)                                  give
the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the
Securities of such series) in the making of any payment of principal, any
premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect to the Securities
of such series; 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.

 

To the extent that
the terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section 301 provide
that any principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on or any Additional
Amounts with respect to any such Securities is or may be payable in Common
Shares or other securities or property, then the provisions of this Section 1003
shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Common Shares or
other securities or property.

 

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 terms as those
upon which such sums were

 

68

 

held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such sums.

 

Except as otherwise
provided herein or pursuant hereto, any money deposited with the Trustee or any
Paying Agent, or then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the
principal of, any premium or interest on or any Additional Amounts with respect
to any Security of any series or any Coupon appertaining thereto and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal or such premium or interest or
Additional Amount shall have become due and payable shall be paid to the
Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall be
discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security or any Coupon
appertaining thereto 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, not later than 30 days after the Company’s request for such
repayment, at the expense of the Company cause to be published once, in an
Authorized Newspaper in each Place of Payment for such series or to be mailed
to Holders of Registered Securities of such series, or both, 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 or mailing nor shall
it be earlier than two years after such principal and any premium or interest
or Additional Amounts shall have become due and payable, any unclaimed balance
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Company.

 

Section 1004.                          Additional
Amounts.

 

If any Securities of a
series provide for the payment of Additional Amounts by the Company, the
Company agrees to pay to the Holder of any such Security or any Coupon
appertaining thereto Additional Amounts as provided in or pursuant to this
Indenture or such Securities. Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in
any context, the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on, or
in respect of, any Security of any series or any Coupon, such mention shall be
deemed to include mention of the payment of Additional Amounts provided by the
terms of such series established hereby or pursuant hereto to the extent that,
in such context, Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect
thereof pursuant to such terms, and express mention of the payment of
Additional Amounts (if applicable) in any provision hereof shall not be
construed as excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such
express mention is not made.

 

Section 1005.                          Legal
Existence.

 

Subject to Article Eight,
the Company shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and
keep in full force and effect its legal existence as any type of Corporation
(it being understood that nothing in this Section 1005 shall prohibit the
Company from changing its legal form from one type of Corporation to another
type of Corporation).

 

69

 

Section 1006.                          Waiver of
Certain Covenants.

 

The Company may omit in
any particular instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set
forth in Sections 801, 802, 1002, 1003 or 1005 with respect to the Securities
of any series and, if expressly provided pursuant to Section 301 with
respect to the Securities of such series, any additional covenants applicable
to the Securities of such series if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, by Act of such Holders, either shall waive such
compliance in such instance or generally shall have waived compliance with such
term, 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 1007.                          Company
Statement as to Compliance.

 

The Company shall deliver
to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a written
statement (which need not be contained in or accompanied by an Officers’
Certificate) signed by the principal executive officer, the principal financial
officer or the principal accounting officer of the Company, stating whether or
not, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Company is in default in the
performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture (without regard to notice requirements or periods of grace) and
if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature
and status thereof of which he or she may have knowledge.

 

ARTICLE ELEVEN

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

 

Section 1101.                          Applicability
of Article.

 

Redemption of Securities
of any series at the option of the Company as permitted or required by the
terms of such Securities shall be made in accordance with the terms of such
Securities and (except as otherwise provided herein or pursuant hereto) this
Article.

 

Section 1102.                          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 less
than all of the Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 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 and of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed
and, in the event that the Company shall determine that the Securities of any
series to be redeemed shall be selected from Securities of such series having
the same issue date, interest rate or interest rate formula, Stated Maturity
and other terms (the “Equivalent Terms”), the Company shall notify the Trustee
of such Equivalent Terms.

 

70

 

In the case of any
redemption of Securities (A) prior to the expiration of any restriction on
such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture or (B) pursuant to an election of the Company which is subject
to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

Section 1103.                          Selection by
Trustee of Securities to be Redeemed.

 

If less than all of the
Securities of any series are to be redeemed or if less than all of the
Securities of any series with Equivalent Terms are to be redeemed, the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee from the Outstanding Securities of
such series or from the Outstanding Securities of such series with Equivalent Terms,
as the case may be, not previously called for redemption, by such method as the
Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of portions of the principal amount of Registered Securities of
such series; provided, however, that no such
partial redemption shall reduce the portion of the principal amount of a
Security of such series not redeemed to less than the minimum denomination for
a Security of such series established herein or pursuant hereto.

 

The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company and the Security Registrar (if other than itself)
in writing of the Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any
Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.

 

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

 

Unless otherwise
specified in or pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of any series or
in a notice of redemption, if any Security selected for partial redemption is
converted or exchanged for Common Shares or other securities or property in
part before termination of the conversion or exchange right with respect to the
portion of the Security so selected, the converted or exchanged portion of such
Security shall be deemed (so far as may be) to be the portion selected for
redemption. Securities which have been converted or exchanged during a
selection of Securities to be redeemed shall be treated by the Trustee as
Outstanding for the purpose of such selection.

 

Section 1104.                          Notice of
Redemption.

 

Notice of redemption
shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 30 nor
more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, unless a shorter period is
specified in the Securities to be redeemed, to the Holders of Securities to be
redeemed. Failure to give notice by mailing in the manner herein provided to
the Holder of any Registered Securities designated for redemption as a whole or
in part, or any defect in the notice to any such Holder, shall not affect the
validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities or
portions thereof.

 

71

 

Any notice that is mailed
to the Holder of any Registered Securities in the manner herein provided shall
be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not such Holder
receives the notice.

 

All notices of redemption
shall state:

 

(1)           the
Redemption Date,

 

(2)           the
Redemption Price or, if applicable, the manner in which the Redemption Price
will be determined,

 

(3)           if
less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are to be redeemed, the
identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the principal amount)
of the particular Security or Securities to be redeemed,

 

(4)           that,
in case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, on and after the
Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security, the Holder of such Security
will receive, without charge, a new Security or Securities of authorized
denominations for the principal amount thereof remaining unredeemed,

 

(5)           that,
on the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price shall become due and payable upon
each such Security or portion thereof to be redeemed, together (if applicable)
with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon (subject, if applicable, to
the provisos to the first paragraph of Section 1106), and, if applicable,
that interest thereon shall cease to accrue on and after said date,

 

(6)           the
place or places where such Securities, together (in the case of Bearer
Securities) with all Coupons appertaining thereto, if any, maturing after the
Redemption Date, are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price and
any accrued interest and Additional Amounts pertaining thereto,

 

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

 

(8)           that,
unless otherwise specified in such notice, Bearer Securities of any series, if
any, surrendered for redemption must be accompanied by all Coupons maturing
subsequent to the date fixed for redemption or the amount of any such missing
Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the Redemption Price, unless security
or indemnity satisfactory to the Company, the Trustee and any Paying Agent is
furnished,

 

(9)           if
Bearer Securities of any series are to be redeemed and any Registered
Securities of such series are not to be redeemed, and if such Bearer Securities
may be exchanged for Registered Securities not subject to redemption on the
Redemption Date pursuant to Section 305 or otherwise, the last date, as
determined by the Company, on which such exchanges may be made,

 

(10)         in
the case of Securities of any series that are convertible or exchangeable into
Common Shares or other securities or property, the then current conversion or
exchange price or rate, the date or dates on which the right to convert or
exchange the

 

72

 

principal of the
Securities of such series to be redeemed will commence or terminate, as
applicable, and the place or places where and the Persons to whom such
Securities may be surrendered for conversion or exchange,

 

(11)         the
CUSIP number of such Securities, if any, and

 

(12)         if
the Redemption Price or any portion thereof shall be payable, at the option of
the Company, in cash or in Common Shares or other securities or property (or a
combination thereof), a statement as to whether the Company has elected to pay
the Redemption Price in cash or Common Shares or other securities or property
or a combination thereof and, if applicable, the portion of the Redemption
Price that is to be paid in cash, Common Shares or other securities or
property.

 

A notice of redemption
published as contemplated by Section 106 need not identify particular
Registered Securities to be redeemed.

 

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.

 

Section 1105.                          Deposit of
Redemption Price.

 

On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit, with respect to the Securities of
any series called for redemption pursuant to Section 1104, 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 in the applicable Currency or, if the Redemption Price shall be
payable in cash, securities and/or other property, an amount of money in the
applicable Currency, securities and/or other property, as the case may be,
sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (unless otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of such series) any
accrued interest on, all such Securities or portions thereof which are to be
redeemed on that date, except that, if the Securities of such series are
convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares or other securities or property,
no such deposit shall be required (unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 301
with respect to the Securities of such series) with respect to any such
Securities (or portions thereof) which have been converted or exchanged prior
to such Redemption Date.

 

Section 1106.                          Securities
Payable on Redemption Date.

 

Notice of redemption
having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed (except, in
the case of Securities which are convertible or exchangeable into Common Shares
or other securities or property, any such Securities which shall have been so converted
or exchanged prior to the applicable Redemption Date) shall, on the Redemption
Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified,
together with (unless otherwise provided with respect to the Securities of such
series pursuant to Section 301) accrued and unpaid interest, if any,
thereon and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the
payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest, if any) such Securities
shall cease to bear interest and the Coupons for such interest appertaining to
any Bearer Securities so to be redeemed, except to the extent provided below,
shall be void. Upon surrender of any such Security for redemption in

 

73

 

accordance with said notice, together with all
Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto maturing after the Redemption Date, such
Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with,
unless otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture, any accrued and unpaid
interest thereon and Additional Amounts with respect thereto to but excluding
the Redemption Date; provided, however,
that, except as otherwise provided in or pursuant to this Indenture or the
Bearer Securities of such series, 
installments of interest on Bearer Securities whose Stated Maturity is
on or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of Coupons for such interest (at an Office or Agency located outside
the United States except as otherwise provided in Section 1002), and provided, further, that, except as otherwise specified in or
pursuant to this Indenture or the Registered Securities of such series,
installments of interest on Registered Securities whose Stated Maturity is on
or prior to the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such
Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the
close of business on the Regular Record Dates therefor according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.

 

If any Bearer Security
surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons
maturing after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting
from the Redemption Price or, at the option of the Company, after payment to
the Trustee for the benefit of the Company of, an amount equal to the face
amount of all such missing Coupons, or the surrender of such missing Coupon or
Coupons may be waived by the Company and the Trustee if there be furnished to
them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and
any Paying Agent harmless from and against any and all loss, liability or
expense. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to the
Trustee or any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a
deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be
entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however,
that any interest or Additional Amounts represented by Coupons shall be payable
only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an Office or Agency
for such Security located outside of the United States except as otherwise
provided in Section 1002.

 

If any Security called
for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the
principal and any premium, until paid, shall bear interest from the Redemption
Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security or, if no rate is
prescribed therefor in the Security, at the rate of interest, if any, borne by
such Security.

 

Section 1107.                          Securities
Redeemed in Part.

 

Any Registered Security
which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at any Office or
Agency for such Security (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 Registered Security or Securities of the same series, containing
identical terms and provisions, 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. If a
Security in global form is so surrendered, the Company shall execute, and the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Depository for such

 

74

 

Security in global form as shall be specified in the
Company Order with respect thereto to the Trustee, without service charge, a
new Security in global form in a denomination equal to and in exchange for the
unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security in global form so
surrendered.

 

ARTICLE TWELVE

 

SINKING FUNDS

 

Section 1201.                          Applicability
of Article.

 

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

 

The minimum amount of any
sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any series is
herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking fund payment”, and any payment in
excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of such
series is herein referred to as an “optional sinking fund payment”. If provided
for by the terms of Securities of any series, the cash amount of any sinking
fund payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each
sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of any
series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such series and this
Indenture.

 

Section 1202.                          Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

The Company may, in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the
Securities of any series to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities (1) deliver
Outstanding Securities of such series (other than any of such Securities
previously called for redemption or any of such Securities in respect of which
cash shall have been released to the Company), together in the case of any
Bearer Securities of such series with all unmatured Coupons appertaining
thereto, and (2) apply as a credit Securities of such series which have
been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of
such series of Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, provided that such Securities have not been previously so
credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by
the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund
payment shall be reduced accordingly. If as a result of the delivery or credit
of Securities of any series in lieu of cash payments pursuant to this Section 1202,
the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed in order to
exhaust the aforesaid cash payment shall be less than $100,000, the Trustee
need not call Securities of such series for redemption, except upon Company
Request, and such cash payment shall be held by the Trustee or a Paying Agent
and applied to the next succeeding sinking fund payment, provided,
however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall at the request
of the Company from time to time pay over and deliver to the Company any cash
payment so being held by the Trustee or such Paying Agent upon delivery by the
Company to the Trustee of Securities of that series purchased by the

 

75

 

Company having an unpaid principal amount equal to the
cash payment requested to be released to the Company.

 

Section 1203.                          Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 75 days
prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the
Company shall deliver to the Trustee an Officers’ Certificate specifying the
amount of the next ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment for that series
pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to
be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be
satisfied by delivering and crediting of Securities of that series pursuant to Section 1202,
and the optional amount, if any, to be added in cash to the next ensuing
mandatory sinking fund payment, and will also deliver to the Trustee any
Securities to be so credited and not theretofore delivered. If such Officers’
Certificate shall specify an optional amount to be added in cash to the next
ensuing mandatory sinking fund payment, the Company shall thereupon be
obligated to pay the amount therein specified. Not less than 60 days before
each such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the Securities to
be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103
and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at
the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such
notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made
upon the terms and in the manner stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

 

ARTICLE THIRTEEN

 

REPAYMENT AT THE OPTION OF HOLDERS

 

Section 1301.                          Applicability
of Article.

 

Securities of any series
which are repayable at the option of the Holders thereof before their Stated
Maturity shall be repaid in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such
series. The repayment of any principal amount of Securities pursuant to such
option of the Holder to require repayment of Securities before their Stated
Maturity, for purposes of Section 309, shall not operate as a payment,
redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the Company, at its option, shall deliver or surrender the
same to the Trustee with a directive that such Securities be cancelled.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 1301,
in connection with any repayment of Securities, the Company may arrange for the
purchase of any Securities by an agreement with one or more investment bankers
or other purchasers to purchase such Securities by paying to the Holders of
such Securities on or before the applicable repayment date an amount not less
than the repayment price payable by the Company on repayment of such
Securities, and the obligation of the Company to pay the repayment price of
such Securities shall be satisfied and discharged to the extent such payment is
so paid by such purchasers.

 

Unless otherwise
expressly stated in this Indenture or pursuant to Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series or unless the context otherwise requires, all
references in this Indenture to the repayment of Securities at the option of
the Holders thereof (and all

 

76

 

references of like import) shall be deemed to include
a reference to the repurchase or redemption of Securities at the option of the
Holders thereof.

 

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

 

SECURITIES IN FOREIGN CURRENCIES

 

Section 1401.                          Applicability
of Article.

 

Whenever this Indenture
provides for (i) any action by, or the determination of any of the rights
of, Holders of Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are
denominated in the same Currency or (ii) any distribution to Holders of
Securities of any series in which not all of such Securities are denominated in
the same Currency, in the absence of any provision to the contrary in or
pursuant to this Indenture or the Securities of such series, any amount in
respect of any Security denominated in a Currency other than Dollars shall be
treated for any such action, determination or distribution as that amount of
Dollars that could be obtained for such amount on such reasonable basis of
exchange and as of the record date with respect to Registered Securities of
such series (if any) for such action, determination or distribution (or, if
there shall be no applicable record date, such other date reasonably proximate
to the date of such distribution) as the Company may specify in a written
notice to the Trustee.

MEETINGS OF HOLDERS OF SECURITIES

 

Section 1501.                          Purposes for
Which Meetings May Be Called.

 

Unless otherwise provided
pursuant to Section 301 with respect to the Securities of any series, the
provisions of this Article Fifteen shall be applicable to a series of
Securities if (and only if) the terms of such Securities established pursuant
to Section 301 provide that the Securities of such series shall be issued
or issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer Securities. A meeting of Holders of
Securities of any series issued or issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer
Securities may be called at any time and from time to time pursuant to this Article to
make, give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act provided by this Indenture to be made, given or
taken by Holders of Securities of such series.

 

Section 1502.                          Call, Notice
and Place of Meetings.

 

(1)           The Trustee may at any time call a
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series issued or issuable, in whole or
in part, as Bearer Securities, for any purpose specified in Section 1501,
to be held at such time and at such place in the Borough of Manhattan, The City
of New York, or in London or in such place outside the United States as the
Company shall determine. Notice of every meeting of Holders of Securities of
any such series, setting forth the time and the place of such meeting and in
general terms the action proposed to be taken at such meeting, shall be given,
in the manner provided in Section 106, not less than 21 nor more than 180
days prior to the date fixed for the meeting.

 

77

 

(2)           In case at any time the Company (by
or pursuant to a Board Resolution) or the Holders of at least 331/3% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series issued or issuable, in whole or in part, as Bearer
Securities, shall have requested the Trustee to call a meeting of the Holders
of Securities of such series for any purpose specified in Section 1501, by
written request setting forth in reasonable detail the action proposed to be
taken at the meeting, and the Trustee shall not have mailed notice of or made
the first publication of the notice of such meeting within 21 days after
receipt of such request (whichever shall be required pursuant to Section 106)
or shall not thereafter proceed to cause the meeting to be held as provided
herein, then the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series in the
amount above specified, as the case may be, may determine the time and the
place in London for such meeting and may call such meeting for such purposes by
giving notice thereof as provided in clause (1) of this Section.

 

Section 1503.                          Persons
Entitled to Vote at Meetings.

 

To be entitled to vote at
any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series, a Person shall be (1) a
Holder of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series, or (2) a
Person appointed by an instrument in writing as proxy for a Holder or Holders
of one or more Outstanding Securities of such series by such Holder or Holders.
The only Persons who shall be entitled to be present or to speak at any meeting
of Holders of Securities of any series shall be the Persons entitled to vote at
such meeting and their counsel, any representatives of the Trustee and its
counsel and any representatives of the Company and its counsel.

 

Section 1504.                          Quorum;
Action.

 

The Persons entitled to
vote a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series
shall constitute a quorum for a meeting or duly reconvened meeting of Holders
of Securities of such series; provided, however,
that if any action is to be taken at such meeting with respect to any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action which
this Indenture expressly provides may be given by the Holders of a greater
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series, the
Persons entitled to at least such greater percentage in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall constitute a quorum. In the absence
of a quorum within 30 minutes after the time appointed for any such meeting,
the meeting shall, if convened at the request of Holders of Securities of such
series, be dissolved. In any other case the meeting may be adjourned for a
period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such meeting. In the absence of a quorum at any
such adjourned meeting, such adjourned meeting may be further adjourned for a
period of not less than 10 days as determined by the chairman of the meeting
prior to the adjournment of such adjourned meeting. Notice of the reconvening
of any adjourned meeting shall be given as provided in Section 1502(1),
except that such notice need be given only once not less than five days prior
to the date on which the meeting is scheduled to be reconvened. Notice of the
reconvening of an adjourned meeting shall state expressly the percentage, as
provided above, of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series which shall constitute a quorum.

 

Except as limited by the
proviso to Section 902, any resolution presented to a meeting or adjourned
meeting duly reconvened at which a quorum is present as aforesaid may be
adopted only by the affirmative vote of the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding

 

78

 

Securities of that series; provided,
however, that, except as limited by the proviso to Section 902,
any resolution with respect to any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent,  waiver or other Act
which this Indenture expressly provides may be made, given or taken by the
Holders of a specified percentage, which is less than or more than a majority,
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of a series may be adopted at
a meeting or an adjourned meeting duly reconvened and at which a quorum is
present as aforesaid by the affirmative vote of the Holders of such specified
percentage in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

 

Any resolution passed or
decision taken at any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series duly held
in accordance with this Section shall be binding on all the Holders of
Securities of such series and the Coupons appertaining thereto, whether or not
such Holders were present or represented at the meeting.

 

Section 1505.                          Determination
of Voting Rights; Conduct and Adjournment of Meetings.

 

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

 

(2)           The Trustee shall, by an instrument
in writing, appoint a temporary chairman of the meeting, unless the meeting
shall have been called by the Company or by Holders of Securities as provided
in Section 1502(2), in which case the Company or the Holders of Securities
of the series calling the meeting, as the case may be, shall in like manner
appoint a temporary chairman. A permanent chairman and a permanent secretary of
the meeting shall be elected by vote of the Persons entitled to vote a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series represented at
the meeting.

 

(3)           At any meeting, each Holder of a
Security of such series or proxy shall be entitled to one vote for each $1,000
principal amount of Securities of such series held or represented by him; provided, however, that no vote shall be cast or counted at
any meeting in respect of any Security challenged as not Outstanding and ruled
by the chairman of the meeting to be not Outstanding. If the Securities of such
series are issuable in minimum denominations of less than $1,000, then a Holder
of such a Security in a principal amount of less than $1,000 shall be entitled
to a fraction of one vote which is equal to the fraction that the principal
amount of such Security bears to $1,000. The chairman of the meeting shall have
no right to vote, except as a Holder of a Security of such series or proxy.

 

79

 

(4)           Any meeting of Holders of Securities
of any series duly called pursuant to Section 1502 at which a quorum is
present may be adjourned from time to time by Persons entitled to vote a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
represented at the meeting; and the meeting may be held as so adjourned without
further notice.

 

Section 1506.                          Counting
Votes and Recording Action of Meetings.

 

The vote upon any
resolution submitted to any meeting of Holders of Securities of any series
shall be by written ballots on which shall be subscribed the signatures of the
Holders of Securities of such series or of their representatives by proxy and
the principal amounts and serial numbers of the Outstanding Securities of such
series held or represented by them. The permanent chairman of the meeting shall
appoint two inspectors of votes who shall count all votes cast at the meeting
for or against any resolution and who shall make and file with the secretary of
the meeting their verified written reports in triplicate of all votes cast at
the meeting. A record, at least in triplicate, of the proceedings of each
meeting of Holders of Securities of any series shall be prepared by the
secretary of the meeting and there shall be attached to said record the
original reports of the inspectors of votes on any vote by ballot taken thereat
and affidavits by one or more persons having knowledge of the facts setting
forth a copy of the notice of the meeting and showing that said notice was
given as provided in Section 1502 and, if applicable, Section 1504.
Each copy shall be signed and verified by the affidavits of the permanent
chairman and secretary of the meeting and one such copy shall be delivered to
the Company, and another to the Trustee to be preserved by the Trustee, the
latter to have attached thereto the ballots voted at the meeting. Any record so
signed and verified shall be conclusive evidence of the matters therein stated.
