TRANSFER, PLEDGE, OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON

         Colonial Realty Limited Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership
(the "Issuer", which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter
referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co., as
nominee of The Depository Trust Company, or registered assigns, the principal
sum of One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000.00) on August 15, 2012 (the
"Stated Maturity Date") or any Redemption Date, as defined below (each such date
being referred to as the "Maturity Date" with respect to the principal repayable
on such date), and to pay interest thereon from the date of issuance (or from
the most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly
provided for), semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each
year, commencing on February 15, 2003, and on the Maturity Date, at a rate of
interest of 6 7/8% per annum, until payment of said principal sum has been made
or duly provided for. Any capitalized terms used herein, including on the
reverse hereof, and not defined herein or on the reverse hereof shall have the
meaning ascribed to them in the Indenture hereinafter referred to.

         The interest so payable and punctually paid or duly provided for on an
Interest Payment Date and at the Maturity Date will be paid to the Holder in
whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such payment, which will be
February 1 or August 1 (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day)

<Page>

next preceding such Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.
Any interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date, and may either be paid
to the Holder in whose name this Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) is
registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of
such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be
given to Holders of Notes of this series not less than ten (10) days prior to
such Special Record Date, or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner
not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange or which the
Notes of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by
such exchange, as more fully provided in the Indenture.

         The principal and Make-Whole Amount, if any, of this Note payable at
the Maturity Date will be paid against presentation and surrender of this Note
at the office or agency of the Issuer maintained for that purpose in New York,
New York. The Issuer hereby initially designates the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee in New York, New York as the office to be maintained by it where
this Note may be presented for payment, registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices or demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of this Note or the
Indenture may be served.

         Interest payable on this Note will be computed on the basis of a
360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. If any Interest Payment Date or
Maturity Date would otherwise be a day that is not a Business Day, the required
payment will be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if it were paid on the date such payment was due, and no interest will
accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after such Interest
Payment Date or Maturity Date, as the case may be.

         This Note may be redeemed at any time at the option of the Issuer, in
whole or in part, upon notice to the Holders of not more than 60 nor less than
30 days prior to the Redemption Date, at a redemption price equal to the sum of
(i) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus
accrued but unpaid interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption (the
"Redemption Date") and (ii) the Make-Whole Amount, if any, with respect to such
Notes.

         Payments of principal, Make-Whole Amounts, if any, and interest in
respect of this Note will be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds, in such coin or currency as at the time of payment is legal tender for
the payment of public and private debts, so long as this Note is in global form
as described in Section 203 of the Indenture. If this Note is not in global
form, all such payments will be made by wire transfer of immediately available
funds if the Holder hereof at the applicable record date shall have provided
wire transfer instructions to the Trustee, received by the Trustee no later than
fifteen (15) days prior to the applicable payment date, and otherwise payment
shall be made in accordance with Section 307 of the Indenture. Such wire
transfer instructions shall remain in effect until revoked in a writing received
by the Trustee from the Holder hereof.

         REFERENCE IS MADE TO THE FURTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE SET FORTH ON
THE REVERSE HEREOF. SUCH FURTHER PROVISIONS SHALL FOR ALL PURPOSES HAVE THE SAME
EFFECT AS THOUGH FULLY SET FORTH AT THIS PLACE.

                       COLONIAL REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP

                          6 7/8% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2012

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes, bonds
or other evidences of indebtedness of the Issuer (hereinafter called the
"Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued
under an Indenture dated as of July 22, 1996, as supplemented by the First
Supplemental Indenture, dated as of December 31, 1998 (the "Indenture"), between
the Issuer and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (formerly Bankers Trust
Company), as Trustee (herein called the "Trustee," which term includes any
successor trustee under the Indenture with respect to the series of Securities
of which this Note is a part), to which Indenture and all indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of the
respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities
thereunder of the Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Securities, and of
the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which different
series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may mature at
different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may be subject
to different redemption provisions (if any), and may otherwise vary provided in
the Indenture. This Note is one of the outstanding Securities of a series
designated as the "6 7/8% Senior Notes due 2012" of the Issuer (the "Notes"),
limited in aggregate principal amount to $100,000,000.00.

         In case an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of, and premium or Make-Whole Amount,
if any, may be declared, and upon such declaration shall become, due and
payable, in the manner, with the effect, and subject to the conditions provided
in the Indenture.

         As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Note shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with
respect to the Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee or for
any other remedy thereunder, unless (i) such Holder shall have previously given
written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to
the Notes, (ii) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Notes shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute proceedings in
respect of such Event of Default in its own name as Trustee, (iii) such Holder
or Holders have offered reasonable indemnity to the Trustee against the costs,
expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iv)
the Trustee shall have failed to institute any such proceeding for 60 days after
its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity and (v) the Trustee
shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Notes a direction inconsistent with such request.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes to be affected under the
Indenture at any time by the Issuer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Notes affected
thereby. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of at
least a majority in principal amount of the Notes, on behalf of the Holders of
all Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with certain provisions of the
Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences.

                                       5

<Page>

Any such consent or waiver by the Holders of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in
lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this
Note.

         No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note or
of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is
absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of, premium or Make-Whole
Amount, if any, and interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in
the coin or currency, herein prescribed.

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

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

         No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith. In
no event shall the Issuer be required to pay any Additional Amounts as
contemplated by the Indenture.

         Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer, the
Issuer, the Trustee, and any authorized agent of the Issuer or the Trustee may
treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the absolute owner of
this Note (whether or not this Note shall be overdue and notwithstanding any
notation of ownership or other writing hereon), for the purpose of receiving
payment of, or on account of, the principal hereof and premium, if any, and
subject to the provisions on the face hereof, interest hereon, and for all other
purposes, and none of the Issuer, the Trustee or any authorized agent of the
Issuer or the Trustee shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

         Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the Indenture to the
contrary, no recourse under or upon any obligation, covenant or agreement
contained in the Indenture or in this Note, or because of any indebtedness
evidenced thereby (including without limitation, any obligation or indebtedness
relating to the principal of, or premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest
or any other amounts due, or claimed to be due, on this Note), or for any claim
based thereon or otherwise in respect thereof, shall be had (i) against Colonial
Properties Trust or any other partner in the Issuer, (ii) against any other
person which owns an interest, directly or indirectly, in any partner in the
Issuer, or (iii) against any promoter, as such, or against any past, present of
future stockholder, partner, officer or director, as such, of the Issuer or of
any successor, either directly or

                                       6

<Page>

through the Issuer or any successor, under any rule of law, statute or
constitutional provisions 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 this Note by the Holder thereof and as
part of the consideration for the issue of the Notes. The Holder of this Note
acknowledges by acceptance of this Note that its sole remedies under the
Indenture for any Default by the Issuer in the payment of the principal of, or
any premium or Make-Whole Amount, if any, interest or any amounts due, or
claimed to be due, on this Note, or otherwise, are limited to claims against the
property of the Issuer as provided in Section 503 of the Indenture.

         Notwithstanding anything contained in the Indenture to the contrary,
"Make-Whole Amount" and "Reinvestment Rate" as used with respect to this Note
shall have the following meanings:

         "Make-Whole Amount" means, in connection with any optional redemption
of the Notes, the excess, if any, of: (i) the aggregate present value as of the
date of such redemption of each dollar of principal being redeemed and the
amount of interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption)
that would have been payable in respect of each such dollar if such redemption
had not been made, determined by discounting, on a semi-annual basis, such
principal and interest at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the third
Business Day preceding the date notice of such redemption is given) from the
respective dates on which such principal and interest would have been payable if
such redemption had not been made, to the date of redemption; over (ii) the
aggregate principal amount of the Notes being redeemed.

         "Reinvestment Rate" means the yield on Treasury securities at a
constant maturity corresponding to the remaining life (as of the date of
redemption, and rounded to the nearest month) to the Stated Maturity Date of the
principal being redeemed (the "Treasury Yield"), plus 0.25%. For purposes
hereof, the Treasury Yield shall be equal to the arithmetic mean of the yields
published in the Statistical Release under the heading "Week Ending" for "U.S.
Government Securities -- Treasury Constant Maturities" with a maturity equal to
such remaining life; PROVIDED, that if no published maturity exactly corresponds
to such remaining life, then the Treasury Yield shall be interpolated or
extrapolated on a straight-line basis from the arithmetic means of the yields
for the next shortest and next longest published maturities. For purposes of
calculating the Reinvestment Rate, the most recent Statistical Release published
prior to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount shall be used. If
the format or content of the Statistical Release changes in a manner that
precludes determination of the Treasury Yield in the above manner, then the
Treasury Yield shall be determined in the manner that most closely approximates
the above manner, as reasonably determined by the Company.

         THE INDENTURE AND EACH NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE A CONTRACT UNDER THE
LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND FOR ALL PURPOSES SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF SUCH STATE, EXCEPT AS MAY OTHERWISE BE REQUIRED BY
MANDATORY PROVISIONS OF LAW.

         Pursuant to a recommendation promulgated by the Committee on Uniform
Security Identification Procedures, the Issuer has caused "CUSIP" numbers to be
printed on the Notes as a convenience to the Holders of such Notes. No
representation is made as to the correctness or

                                       7

<Page>

accuracy of such CUSIP numbers as printed on the Notes, and reliance may be
placed only on the other identification numbers printed hereon.

covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents. 

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

        Where
any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other instruments under this Indenture, they
may, but need not, be consolidated and form one instrument. 

SECTION
104.    Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

        Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders 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; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided,
such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the
action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a
writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company, if made in the manner
provided in this Section. 

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

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

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

        The
Company may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to give, make or take any request, demand,
authorization, 

6

 

direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by Holders of Securities of such series, provided,
however, that the Company may not set a record date for, and the provisions of this paragraph shall not apply with respect to, the giving or making of any notice, declaration,
request or direction referred to in the next paragraph. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on such record date, and no
other Holders, shall be entitled to take the relevant action, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date; provided, however, that
no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such
record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Company from setting a new record date for any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render
ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Company, at its own expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Trustee in
writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

        The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Outstanding Securities of any series entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
Notice of Default, (ii) any declaration of acceleration referred to in Section 502, (iii) any request to institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or
(iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such
record date; provided, however, that no such action shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable Expiration Date by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for
any action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with no action by any Person be cancelled and of
no effect), and nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant series on the
date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause notice of such record date, the proposed action by
Holders and the applicable Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section 106. 

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

        Without
limiting the foregoing, a Holder entitled hereunder to take any action hereunder with regard to any particular Security may do so with regard to all or any part of the principal
amount of 

7

 

such Security or by one or more duly appointed agents each of which may do so pursuant to such appointment with regard to all or any part of such principal amount. 

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

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

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

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

SECTION
106.    Notice to Holders; Waiver.

        Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest
date (if any), prescribed for the giving of such
notice. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or
after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver. 

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

 
 

SECTION 107.    Conflict with Trust Indenture Act.    
  

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

 
 

SECTION 108.    Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.    
  

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

 
 

SECTION 109.    Successors and Assigns.    
  

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

8

  

 
 

SECTION 110.    Separability Clause.    
  

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

 
 

SECTION 111.    Benefits of Indenture.    
  

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

 
 

SECTION 112.    Governing Law.    
  

        This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York (including without limitation
Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law or any successor to such statute). The Trustee and the Company agree to submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction
of any United States federal or state court located in the Borough of Manhattan, in the City of New York in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Indenture or the Securities. 

        The
Trustee and the Company hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waive any rights they may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation based hereon, or arising out
of, under or in connection with this Indenture or any course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether oral or written) or actions of the Trustee or the Company relating thereto. The Company
acknowledges and agrees that it has received full and sufficient consideration for this provision and that this provision is a material inducement for the Trustee and the Holders entering into this
Indenture. 

 
 

SECTION 113.    Legal Holidays.    
  

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

Board Resolution or in one or more indentures supplemental hereto, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this
Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as may be required to comply with the rules of any securities exchange or
Depository therefor or as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their execution thereof. If the form of Securities of any series is
established by action taken by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, a 

9

 

copy of an appropriate record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee at or prior to the delivery of the Company Order
contemplated by Section 303 for the authentication and delivery of such Securities. 

        The
definitive Securities shall be printed, lithographed or engraved on steel engraved borders or may be produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such
Securities, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

        Anthem, Inc.,
a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Indiana (herein called the "Company", which term includes any successor Person under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to                        , or registered assigns,
the principal sum of                        Dollars
on                        
[if the Security is to bear interest prior to Maturity, insert—, and to pay interest thereon
from                        or from the
most recent Interest Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually
on                        and                 
       in each year, commencing                        , at
the rate of    % per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment [if applicable, insert—, provided,
however that any principal and premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the rate of            % per annum (to the
extent
that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on
demand]. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in such Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be
the                        or                 
       (whether or
not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Interest Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on
such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities of this series not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date,
or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities of this series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be
required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture.][if the Security is not to bear interest prior to Maturity,
insert—. The principal of this Security shall not bear interest except in the case of a default in payment of principal upon acceleration, upon redemption or at
Stated Maturity and in such case the overdue principal and any overdue premium shall bear interest at the rate of    % per annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be
legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue principal or premium shall be payable on demand. [Any
such interest on overdue principal or premium which is not paid on demand shall bear interest at the rate of    % per
annum (to the extent that the payment of such interest on interest shall be legally enforceable), from the date of such demand until 

10

 

the amount so demanded is paid or made available for payment. Interest on any overdue interest shall be payable on demand.]] 

        Payment
of the principal of (and premium, if any) and [if applicable, insert—any such] interest on
this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in The City of New York, New York, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time
of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts [if applicable, insert—;  provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to
the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register].

SECTION 203.    Form of Reverse of Security.    
  

        This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company (herein called the "Securities"), issued and to be issued in one or more series under
an Indenture, dated as of            , 2002 (herein called the "Indenture", which term shall have the meaning assigned to it in such instrument), between the Company and The Bank of New York,
 as
Trustee (herein called the "Trustee", which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), and reference is hereby made to the Indenture for a statement of the respective rights,
limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and
delivered. This Security is one of the series designated on the face hereof [if applicable,
insert—, limited in aggregate principal amount to
$                        ].

        [If applicable, insert—The Securities of this series are subject to redemption at any time, upon not less than
30 days' notice by mail, as a whole or from time to time in part, at the election of the Company [if applicable,
insert—(provided, however, that, if the Company shall have elected pursuant to the Indenture to defease
[the entire indebtedness of this Security] [or] [certain restrictive covenants and Events of Defaults with respect to this
Security], prior to making such election to redeem the Securities it shall have deposited in trust amounts sufficient to pay the Redemption Price)], on any date prior to their
Stated Maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of such Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the Redemption Date and
(ii) as determined by a Treasury Dealer (as defined below), whose determination shall be binding absent 

11

 

manifest error, the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon, assuming for this purpose that the Securities remain outstanding until maturity
(not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the Redemption Date) discounted to the Redemption Date on a semiannual compounding basis (assuming a 360-day year
consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined below), plus            basis points, together in the case of any such redemption with accrued interest to the
Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of
record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture. 

        "Treasury
Rate" means the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Treasury Security referred to below that corresponds to the Treasury Price referred to below (calculated in
accordance with standard market practice and computed as of the second trading day preceding the Redemption Date). "Treasury Security" means the United States Treasury security that the Treasury
Dealer determines
would be appropriate to use, at the time of determination and in accordance with standard market practice, in pricing the Securities being redeemed in a tender offer based on a spread to United States
Treasury yields. "Treasury Price" means the bid-side price for the Treasury Security as of the third trading day preceding the Redemption Date, as set forth in the daily statistical
release (or any successor release) published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on that trading day and designated "Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities", except
that (i) if that release (or any successor release) is not published or does not contain that price information on that trading day; or (ii) if the Treasury Dealer determines that price
information is not reasonably reflective of the actual bid-side price for the Treasury Security prevailing at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that trading day, then Treasury Price
will instead mean the bid-side price for the Treasury Security at or around 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on that trading day (expressed on a next trading day settlement basis) as
determined by the Treasury Dealer through such alternative means as the Treasury Dealer considers to be appropriate under the circumstances. "Treasury Dealer"
means                        (or its successor)
or, if                        (or its successor) refuses to act as Treasury Dealer for these purposes or ceases to be a primary
U.S. Government securities dealer, another nationally recognized investment
banking firm that is a primary U.S. Government securities dealers specified by the Company for these purposes.] 

        [If applicable, insert—The Securities of this series are subject to redemption upon not less than 30 days'
notice by mail, [if applicable, insert—(1) on            in any year commencing with the
year            and ending
with the year    through operation of the sinking fund for this series at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount, and (2)] at any time
[if applicable, insert—on or after                        ], as a whole or in
part, at the election of the Company, at the
following Redemption Prices (expressed as percentages of the principal amount): If redeemed [if applicable, insert—on or before

thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to            % of the principal amount, together in the case of any such redemption [if applicable,

Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant
Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.]

year            through operation of the sinking fund for this series at the
Redemption Prices for redemption through operation of the sinking fund (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth in the table below, and (2) at any time
[if applicable, insert—on or after                        ], as a whole or in
part, at the election of the Company, at the
Redemption Prices for redemption otherwise than through operation of the sinking fund (expressed as percentages of the principal amount) set forth in the table below: If redeemed during the

accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but interest installments whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to such Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more
Predecessor Securities, of record at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates referred to on the face hereof, all as provided in the Indenture.] 

        [If applicable, insert—Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may not, prior
to                        , redeem any
Securities of this series as contemplated by [if applicable, insert—Clause (2) of] the preceding paragraph as
a part of, or in anticipation of, any refunding operation by the application, directly or indirectly, of moneys borrowed having an interest cost to the Company (calculated in accordance with generally
accepted financial practice) of less than            % per annum.] 

        [If applicable, insert—The sinking fund for this series provides for the redemption
on                        in each
year beginning with the year    and ending with the year    of [if applicable, insert—not less than
$                              ("mandatory sinking fund") and not more than]
$                              aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series. Securities
of this
series acquired or redeemed by the Company otherwise than through [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund
payments may be credited against subsequent [if applicable, insert—mandatory] sinking fund payments otherwise
required to be made [if applicable, insert—, in the inverse order in which they become due].] 

        [If the Security is subject to redemption of any kind, insert—In the event of redemption of this Security in part
only, a new Security or Securities of this series and of like tenor for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.] 

        [If applicable, insert—The Indenture contains provisions for defeasance at any time of [the entire
indebtedness of this Security] [or] [certain restrictive covenants and Events of Default with respect to this Security] [, in
each case] upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.] 

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

        [If the Security is an Original Issue Discount Security, insert—If an Event of Default with respect to Securities
of this series shall occur and be continuing, an amount of principal of the Securities of this series may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. Such
amount shall be equal to—insert formula for determining the amount. Upon payment (i) of the amount of principal so declared due and
payable and (ii) of interest on any overdue principal, premium 

13

 

and interest (in each case to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), all of the Company's obligations in respect of the payment of the principal of and premium
and interest, if any, on the Securities of this series shall terminate.] 

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

        As
provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for the
appointment of a receiver or trustee or for any other remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of this series, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the time Outstanding shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute
proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the Trustee indemnity or security reasonably satisfactory to it, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days
after receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any payment of principal hereof
or any premium or interest hereon on or after the respective due dates expressed herein. 

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

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

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

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

14

 

        Prior
to due presentment of this 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 this
Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the
contrary. 

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

 
 

SECTION 204.    Form of Legend for Global Securities.    
  

        Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities evidenced thereby, every Global Security authenticated and delivered hereunder

        All
Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise be provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution referred to
above and (subject to
Section 303) set forth, or determined in the manner provided, in the Officers' Certificate referred to above or in any such indenture supplemental hereto. 

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

SECTION
302.    Denominations.

        The
Securities of each series shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 301. In the
absence of any such specified denomination with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. 

SECTION
303.    Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating.

        The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents and attested by its
Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries, and may have the corporate seal of the Company affixed thereto or reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile. 

17

  

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

        At
any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such
Securities. If the form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301, in authenticating such
Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating, 

        (1)    if
the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; 

        (2)    if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and 

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

If
such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such 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. 

        Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary
to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior
to the authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. 

        Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. 

        No
Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication
substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the
Company, and the Company shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. 

18

 

SECTION
304.    Temporary Securities.

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

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

SECTION
305.    Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange.

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

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

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

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

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

        No
service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer. 

        If
the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue, register the transfer of or
exchange any Securities of that 

19

 

series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so
selected for redemption in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part. 

        The
provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities: 

        (1)    Each
Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depository designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and
delivered to such Depository or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture. 

        (2)    Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global
Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depository (i) has
notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act,
(B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of
the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301. 

        (3)    Subject
to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a
Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depository for such Global Security shall direct. 

        (4)    Every
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant
to this Section, Section 304, 306, 906 or 1107 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name
of a Person other than the Depository for such Global Security or a nominee thereof. 

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

        If
any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series
and of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding. 

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

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

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

20

 

        Every
new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the
Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of that series duly issued hereunder. 

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

SECTION
307.    Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.

        Except
as otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to any series of Securities, interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record
Date for such interest. 

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

        (1)    The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an
amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special
Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than
10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of
the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth
in Section 106, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so
mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). 

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

        Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section, 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. 

21

 

SECTION
308.    Persons Deemed Owners.

        Prior
to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security
is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and
(subject to Section 307) any interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the
Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 

SECTION
309.    Cancellation.

        All
Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the
Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered
hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and may deliver to the Trustee (or to any other Person for delivery to the Trustee) for cancellation any Securities previously
authenticated hereunder which the Company has not issued and sold, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed in accordance with
the Trustee's then customary procedures. 

SECTION
310.    Computation of Interest.

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

SECTION
311.    CUSIP Numbers.

        The
Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" and/or other similar numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" and/or other numbers in notices
of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as
contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" and/or other numbers. 

 
 

ARTICLE FOUR
  
    SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE

SECTION
401.    Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.

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

        (1)    either

        (A)    all
Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the
Company

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

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

and
the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient
to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such deposit (in
the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; 

        (2)    the
Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; 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 have been complied with.

Authenticating Agent under Section 614 and, if money shall have been deposited with the Trustee pursuant to subclause (B) of Clause (1) of this Section, the obligations of the
Trustee under Section 402 and the last paragraph of Section 1003 shall survive. 

SECTION

        Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Section 401 shall be held in trust and applied by it, in
accordance with the provisions of the Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee
may determine, to the Persons entitled thereto, of the principal and any premium and interest for whose payment such money has been deposited with the Trustee.

whose breach is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with or which has expressly been included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of series of Securities other than that series), and
continuance of such default or breach for a period of 60 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series a written notice specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such
notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or 

        (5)    the

the Company in furtherance of any such action; or 

        (7)    any
other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of that series. 

SECTION
502.    Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.

        If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is
continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the
Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms
thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount)
shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or 501(6) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal
amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as 

24

 

may be specified by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. 

        At
any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained
by the Trustee as hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the Trustee,
may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if 

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

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

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

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

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

and 

        (2)    all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become
due solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 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 any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or 

        (2)    default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, 

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

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

SECTION
504.    Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

        In
case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall be entitled and empowered, by
intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in 

25

 

order to have claims of the Holders and the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) allowed in any
such proceeding. In particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same; and any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and,
in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607. 

        No
provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding;  provided, however, that the Trustee may, on behalf of the Holders, vote for the election of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar official and be a member
of a creditors' or other similar committee. 

SECTION
505.    Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.

        All
rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or the production
thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after
provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in
respect of which such judgment has been recovered. 

SECTION
506.    Application of Money Collected.

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

        FIRST:
To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and 

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

        provided, however, in the event that default is made in the payment of any interest on any
Security when such interest becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days, or default is made in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, on any Security
on the Stated Maturity Date or Redemption Date thereof, the Trustee may reserve from any money collected pursuant to this Article an amount sufficient, in the reasonable determination of the Trustee,
to cover the expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee that may be incurred thereafter. 

SECTION
507.    Limitation on Suits.

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

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

26

 

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

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

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

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

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

SECTION
508.    Unconditional Right of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.

        Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of and
any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder. 

SECTION
509.    Restoration of Rights and Remedies.

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

SECTION
510.    Rights and Remedies Cumulative.

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

SECTION
511.    Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

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

27

  

SECTION 512.    Control by Holders.

        The
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any
remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such series, provided,
however, that 

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

        (2)    such
direction shall not involve the Trustee in personal liability; and 

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

SECTION
513.    Waiver of Past Defaults.

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

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

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

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

SECTION
514.    Undertaking for Costs.

        In
any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may
require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the
Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an
undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company. 

SECTION
515.    Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.

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

 
 

ARTICLE SIX
  
    THE TRUSTEE    

SECTION
601.    Certain Duties and Responsibilities.

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

28

 

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

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

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

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

        (A)    this
Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of Subsection (1) of this Section; 

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

Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of a majority

conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. 

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

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

SECTION
602.    Notice of Defaults.

        If
a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice of such default as and to the extent
provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 501(4) 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.

action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, conclusively rely upon an Officers' Certificate; 

        (4)    the
Trustee may consult with counsel of its selection and the advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in

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

be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;

Trustee shall not be deemed to have notice or be charged with knowledge of any default (within the meaning of Section 602) or Event of Default with respect to
the Securities of any series for which it is acting as Trustee unless written notice of such default or Event of Default, as the case may be, is received by the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office
of the Trustee from the Company, any other obligor upon such Securities or by any Holder of such Securities, and such notice references the Securities and this Indenture; 

        (10)    the
rights, privileges, protections, immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation, its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and
shall be enforceable by, the Trustee in each of its capacities hereunder, and each agent, custodian and other Person employed to act hereunder; and 

30

 

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

SECTION
604.    Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance of Securities.

        The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any

Registrar or such other agent. 

SECTION
606.    Money Held in Trust.

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

SECTION
607.    Compensation and Reimbursement.

        The
Company agrees 

        (1)    to
pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall be agreed in writing between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by it hereunder

security for the performance of the obligations of the Company under this Section, the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected
by the Trustee as such; other than funds held in trust under Section 402. 

31

 

        In
addition and without prejudice to the rights provided to the Trustee under any of the provisions of this Indenture, when the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(5) or Section 501(6), the expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the compensation for the services
are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any applicable Federal and State bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law. 

        The
Company's obligations under this Section 607 and the lien referred to in this Section 607 shall survive the resignation or removal of the Trustee, the discharge of the
Company's obligations under Articles Four and Thirteen of this Indenture and/or the termination of this Indenture. 

        "Trustee"
for purposes of this Section 607 shall include any predecessor Trustee; provided, however, that the negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct of any Trustee hereunder
shall not affect the rights of any other Trustee hereunder. 

SECTION
608.    Conflicting Interests.

        If
the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such interest or
resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed
to have a conflicting interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the Securities of any series, in its capacity as trustee in respect of the
Securities of any other series, or by virtue of being a trustee under the Purchase Contract Agreement, dated as of November 2, 2001, pursuant to which Anthem's 6.00% Equity Security Units are
outstanding or under any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding. Nothing herein
shall prevent the Trustee from filing with the Commission the application referred to in the second to last paragraph of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act. 

SECTION
609.    Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.

        There
shall at all times be one (and only one) Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of each series, which may be Trustee hereunder for Securities of one or more other series.
Each Trustee shall be a Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and has its Corporate Trust Office in
the United States of America. If any such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of its supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section and to the extent permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in
its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section,
it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article. 

SECTION
610.    Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

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

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

32

 

        The
Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series,
delivered to the Trustee and to the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days
after the Trustee's receipt of such notice of removal, the departing Trustee may, at the expense of the Company, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series. 

        If
at any time: 

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

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

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

then,
in any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona
fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect
to all Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees. 

        If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more
series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (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 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company
and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder 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. 

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

33

  

SECTION 611.    Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.

        In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee,
such retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall
duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder; subject, nevertheless, to its lien provided for in Section 607. 

        In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all
Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture
as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective to the extent
provided therein and each such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect
to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or any successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,
transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such
successor Trustee relates; subject, nevertheless, to its lien provided for in Section 607. 

        Upon
request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor Trustee all such
rights, powers and trusts referred to in the first or second preceding paragraph, as the case may be. 

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

SECTION
612.    Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.

        Any
corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such
corporation shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto. In case any
Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or 

34

 

consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such
Securities. 

SECTION
613.    Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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

SECTION
614.    Appointment of Authenticating Agent.

        The
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate
Securities of such series issued upon original issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall
be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee
by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each
Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal
or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the
purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so
published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and
with the effect specified in this Section. 

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

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

35

 

        The
Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed
for such payments, subject to the provisions of Section 607. 

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

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

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

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 obligation to maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such purposes. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
such designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other office or agency.

SECTION
1003.    Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust.

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

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

        The
Company will cause each Paying Agent for any series of Securities other than the Trustee to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree
with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will (1) comply with the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and
(2) during the continuance of any default by the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities of that series) in the making of any payment in respect of the Securities of that series, upon
the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect of the Securities of that series. 

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

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

SECTION
1004.    Statement by Officers as to Default.

        The
Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers' Certificate, stating whether
or not to the best knowledge of the signers thereof the Company is in default in the performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of this Indenture (without regard to any
period of grace or requirement of notice provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have knowledge.
The Company shall, so long as any of the Securities are Outstanding, deliver to the Trustee, forthwith upon becoming aware of any default or Event of Default in respect of the performance or
observance of any covenant, 

41

 

agreement or condition contained in this Indenture or the Securities, but in any event not later than twenty Business Days after the occurrence thereof, an Officers' Certificate specifying such
default or Event of Default and what action the Company is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto. 

SECTION
1005.    Existence.

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

SECTION
1006.    Maintenance of Properties.

        The
Company will cause all properties used or useful in the conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary to be maintained and kept in good condition, repair and working
order and supplied with all necessary equipment and will cause to be made all necessary repairs, renewals, replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of the Company may
be necessary so that the business carried on in connection therewith may be properly and advantageously conducted at all times; provided, however, that
nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from discontinuing the operation or maintenance of any of such properties if such discontinuance is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the
conduct of its business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any material respect to the Holders. 

SECTION
1007.    Payment of Taxes and Other Claims.

        The
Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or imposed
upon the Company or any Subsidiary or upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2) all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might
by law become a lien upon the
property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or cause to be paid or
discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings. 

SECTION
1008.    Waiver of Certain Covenants.

        Except
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of any series, omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders 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 shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in
such instance or generally waive 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. 

 
 

ARTICLE ELEVEN
  
    REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

SECTION
1101.    Applicability of Article.

        Securities
of any series which are redeemable before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by
Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article. 

42

 

SECTION
1102.    Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee.

        The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. In
case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), 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, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee
with an Officers' Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction. 

SECTION
1103.    Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed.

        If
less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects
only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such
series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion of the principal amount
of any Security of such series, provided, however, that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the
Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence. 

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

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

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

SECTION
1104.    Notice of Redemption.

        Notice
of redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Holder of Securities
to be redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register. 

        All
notices of redemption shall state: 

        (1)  the
Redemption Date, 

        (2)  the
Redemption Price, 

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

43

 

Securities, the principal amounts) of the particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the
principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed, 

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

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

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

        (7)  the
CUSIP and/or other similar number as contemplated by Section 311. 

        Notice
of redemption of Securities to be redeemed at the election of the Company shall be given by the Company or, at the Company's request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense
of the Company and shall be irrevocable. 

SECTION
1105.    Deposit of Redemption Price.

        On
or prior to 10:00 a.m. on any Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent,
segregate and hold in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the Redemption Price of, and (except if the Redemption Date shall be an Interest Payment Date)
accrued interest on, all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date. 

SECTION
1106.    Securities Payable on Redemption Date.

        Notice
of redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price therein specified, and
from and after such date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued interest) such Securities shall cease to bear interest. Upon surrender of any such
Security for redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the Company at the Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to the Redemption Date;  provided, however, that,
 unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest whose Stated Maturity is on or prior
to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates according to
their terms and the provisions of Section 307. 

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

SECTION
1107.    Securities Redeemed in Part.

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

ARTICLE 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 any series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for such Securities. 

        The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any Securities 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 such Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of any Securities, 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 as provided for by the terms of such Securities. 

SECTION
1202.    Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

        The
Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series which
have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such
Securities, in each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as
and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided, however, that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so
credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. 

SECTION
1203.    Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund.

        Not
less than 90 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the amount of the
next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered. Not less than
45 days prior to 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
  
    DEFEASANCE AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE    

SECTION
1301.    Company's Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        The
Company may elect, at its option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated
pursuant to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303, in accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and upon
compliance with the conditions set forth below in this 

45

 

Article. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities. 

SECTION
1302.    Defeasance and Discharge.

        Upon
the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have
been discharged from its obligations with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called
"Defeasance"). For this purpose,
such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such
Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the
following which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund described in
Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities when payments are due, (2) the Company's
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and with respect to the Trustee, including but not limited to those under Section 607, (3) the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303 applied to such Securities. 

SECTION
1303.    Covenant Defeasance.

        Upon
the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (1) the Company shall be
released from its obligations under Sections 1006 through 1007, inclusive, and any covenants provided pursuant to Sections 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities
and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4) (with respect to any of Sections 1006 through 1007, inclusive, and any such covenants provided pursuant to
Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7)) and 501(7) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such
Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the
case of Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such Section to any other provision
herein or in any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby. 

SECTION
1304.    Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

        The
following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section 1303 to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be: 

        (1)    The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security
for, and dedicated solely to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or (B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal
and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or (C) a
combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written 

46

 

certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge, and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any
premium and interest on such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation" means
(x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States of America is pledged or
(ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a
full faith and credit obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii), is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any
depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation which is specified in Clause (x)
above and held by such bank for the account of the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so
specified and held, provided, however, that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable
to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal or interest evidenced by such
depositary receipt. 

        (2)    In
the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this
instrument, there has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected with respect to such Securities and will be
subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur. 

        (3)    In
the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be
effected with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit and Covenant
Defeasance were not to occur. 

        (4)    The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series, if then
listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such deposit. 

        (5)    No
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred
and be continuing at the time of
such deposit or, with regard to any such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the 90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this
condition shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day). 

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

47

 

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

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

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

SECTION
1305.    Deposited Money and U.S. Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.

        Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S. Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the Trustee or other
qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304
in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of
principal and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. 

        The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited pursuant to
Section 1304 or the principal
and interest received in respect thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities. 

        Anything
in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or U.S. Government Obligations
held by it as provided in Section 1304 with respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a written
certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be,
with respect to such Securities. 

SECTION
1306.    Reinstatement.

        If
the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities from which the Company has been discharged or
released pursuant to Section 1302 or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company
shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in trust. 

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

48
