officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the

certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.

Company or the Subsidiary Guarantor in reliance thereon, whether or not
notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 

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

 

The
Trustee may set any day as a record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Outstanding Securities entitled to join in the giving or making of (i) any
declaration of acceleration, or any rescission or annulment of any such
declaration, referred to in Section 502, (ii) any request to
institute proceedings referred to in Section 507(2) or (iii) any
direction referred to in Section 512. 
If any record date is set pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of
Outstanding Securities on such record date, and no other 

 

12

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The
provisions of this Section 104 regarding record date procedures are
subject in their entirety to the record date procedures set forth in Sections
502 and 512.

 

Section 105.              Notices, Etc. to Trustee, Company and
Subsidiary Guarantor.  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:

 

13

 

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

 

(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, Attention:  General Counsel, or

 

(3)           the Subsidiary Guarantor 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 Subsidiary Guarantor 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 Subsidiary Guarantor,
Attention:  General Counsel.

 

None
of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Trustee shall be deemed to
have received any such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or Act of Holders unless given, furnished or filed as provided
in this Section 105.

 

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

 

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

 

Section 107.              Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. 
If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision
of the Trust Indenture Act which is required 

 

14

 

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 or the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall bind their respective successors and assigns,
whether so expressed or not.

 

Section 110.              Separability Clause. 
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

 

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

 

Section 112.              Governing Law. 
This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

 

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

 

Section 114.              Computations. 
Unless otherwise specifically provided, the certificate or opinion of
any independent firm of public accountants of recognized standing selected by
the Board of Directors shall be conclusive evidence of the correctness 

 

15

 

of any computation made under the
provisions of this Indenture.  The
Company shall furnish to the Trustee upon its request a copy of any such
certificate or opinion.

 

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

provided,
that if the Subsidiary Guarantor will guarantee the obligations of the Company

more indenture supplements hereto to which the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor and the Trustee shall be a party.

 

All
Securities of any one series shall be substantially identical except as to
denomination and except as may otherwise be provided herein or in or pursuant

Dating.  The Securities shall be executed on behalf of
the Company by its Chairman of the Board of Directors, Chief Executive Officer,
President or any Vice President.  The
signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or

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

 

21

 

At any
time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture,
the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and
delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance with the Company
Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

 

If the
form or forms or terms of the Securities of a 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)                                  that
such form or forms have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture;

 

(2)                                  that
such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture; and

 

(3)                                  that
such Securities have been duly executed and, 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 forms 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 the preceding paragraph, if all Securities of a series are
not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver
the Company Order or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such
preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such
series if such Company Order or Opinion of Counsel is delivered at or prior to
the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series
to be issued.

 

Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

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

 

22

 

authentication substantially in the form provided for
herein executed by the Trustee by the manual signature of one of its authorized
signatories, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated
and delivered hereunder.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, if any Security shall have been authenticated and delivered
hereunder but never issued and sold by the Company, and the Company shall
deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 309,
for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have
been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the
benefits of this Indenture.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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 of any series in lieu
of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities
may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.

 

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

 

23

 

Securities. 
Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

24

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Security Registrar) be duly
endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to 

 

25

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

26

 

that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(1)                                  The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series in respect of which interest is in
default (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner.  The Company shall notify the Trustee in
writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each
Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company
shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount
proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make
arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of
the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause
provided.  Thereupon the Trustee shall
fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which
shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date 

 

27

 

of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment.  The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in
the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be
mailed, first class, postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security of such
series at the address of such Holder as it appears in the Security Register not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date.  Notice of the proposed payment of such
Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed,
such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the
Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are
registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).

 

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

 

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

 

Section 308.                                          Persons
Deemed Owners. 
The Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the
Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose
name any Security is registered as the owner of such Security for the purpose
of receiving payment of principal of and any premium and (subject to Section 307)
any interest on such Security or any payment pursuant to any Subsidiary
Guarantee of such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Security be overdue, and none of the Company, the Subsidiary
Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Subsidiary Guarantor
or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

 

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

 

28

 

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

 

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

 

Section 311.                                          Deferrals of
Interest Payments. 
If specified as contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the
Securities of a particular series, the Company shall have the right, at any
time during the term of such series, from time to time to defer the payment of
interest otherwise due and payable on such Securities for such period or periods
as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301 (each, an “Extension
Period”) during which periods the Company shall have the right to make no or
partial payments of interest on any Interest Payment Date, and at the end of
such Extension Period the Company shall pay all interest then accrued and
unpaid thereon (together with Additional Interest thereon, if any, at the rate
specified for the Securities of such series to the extent permitted by
applicable law), provided, however, that, unless otherwise specified
with respect to Securities of such series pursuant to Section 301, during
any such Extension Period, the Company shall not, and shall cause any
Subsidiary not to, (i) declare or pay any dividends or
distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment
with respect to, any of the Company’s capital stock, (ii) make any
payment of principal of  or interest or
premium, if any, on or repay, repurchase or redeem any debt securities or
guarantees that rank pari  passu with or junior in interest to the
Securities of such series.  Prior to the
termination of any such Extension Period, the Company may further defer payment
of interest, provided that the Company may not defer payment of interest
beyond the Maturity of such Securities. 
Upon termination of any Extension 

 

29

 

Period
and upon the payment of all accrued and unpaid interest and any Additional
Interest then due, the Company may select a new Extension Period, subject to
the above requirements.  No interest
shall be due and payable during an Extension Period, except at the end
thereof.  The Company shall give the
Holders of the Securities of such series and the Trustee notice of its
selection of such Extension Period at least one Business Day prior to the
Interest Payment Date.

 

The
Trustee shall promptly give notice of the Company’s selection of such Extension
Period to the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series.

Satisfaction
and Discharge

 

Section 401.                                          Satisfaction
and Discharge of Indenture. 
This Indenture shall upon Company Request cease to be of further effect
with respect to Securities of a series (except as to any surviving rights of
registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided
for), and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with
respect to such Securities, when:

 

(1)                                 either

 

(A)                              all
such Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than (i) Securities
which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid
as provided in Section 306 and (ii) Securities for whose payment
money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust
by the Company and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such
trust, as provided in Section 1003) have been delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation; or

 

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

 

(i)                                     have
become due and payable, or

 

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

 

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

 

30

 

and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above,
has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds:  (a) money; (b) Government
Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment, money; or (c) a combination
thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation, for principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest) to the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities
which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption
Date, as the case may be; provided, that the Trustee shall have the right (but
not the obligation) to require the Company to deliver to the Trustee an opinion
of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in
a written certification, or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, as to
the sufficiency of deposits made by the Company pursuant to this Section;

 

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

 

The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 401 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.

 

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

 

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

 

31

 

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 premium, if any) and interest for whose payment such money and Government
Obligations have been deposited with the Trustee.

 

Anything
in this Article to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver
or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money or
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 401 with respect
to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee or in the opinion of such other Persons delivered to
the Trustee as shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee (which may be
the same opinion delivered to the Trustee under Section 401(1)(B)), are in
excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be deposited to
effect the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture with respect to the
applicable Securities.

 

ARTICLE

Remedies

 

Section 501.                                          Events of
Default.  Unless otherwise
specified with respect to Securities of a series pursuant to Section 301, “Event
of Default”, wherever used herein with respect to the Securities of any series,
means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such Event of
Default and whether it shall be voluntary or involuntary or be effected by
operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court or
any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

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

 

(2)                                  the
institution by the Company of proceedings to be adjudicated a bankrupt or
insolvent, or the consent by it to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent
seeking reorganization or relief under any applicable Federal or State
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar law, or the consent by
it to the filing of any such petition 

 

32

 

or to the appointment
of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator (or other similar
official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its property and such
official is not discharged within 60 days, or the making by it of a general
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the admission by it in writing of
its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due; or

 

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

 

The
Trustee shall have no right or obligation under this Indenture or otherwise to
exercise any remedies on behalf of the Holders of any Securities in connection
with any failure by the Company or, if applicable, the Subsidiary Guarantor, to
comply with any covenant or warranty of the Company or, if applicable, the
Subsidiary Guarantor, contained in this Indenture (other than any covenant
referred to in Section 501(3)), unless the Trustee is directed to exercise
such remedies pursuant to and subject to the provisions of Section 512. In
connection with any such exercise of remedies, the Trustee shall be entitled to
the same immunities and protections and remedial rights (other than
acceleration) as if such failure to comply were an Event of Default. The
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge or notice of any such failure to
comply unless and until it shall have received the foregoing direction under Section 512.

 

Section 502.                                          Acceleration
of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  If an Event of Default (other than an Event
of Default specified in Section 501(1) or 501(2)) with respect to
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then
in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the
principal amount (or, if the Securities of that series are Original Issue
Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified
in the terms of that series) of and accrued but unpaid interest on all of the
Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any
such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) and interest shall
become immediately due and payable.  If
an Event of Default specified in Section 501(1) or 501(2) with
respect to Securities of a series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal
amount (or specified amount) of and accrued but unpaid interest on (subject to
any limitation thereon applicable to such series) all the Securities of such
series shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the
part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.  The payment of principal and interest
(including any Additional Interest) due as a result of the acceleration of the
Securities of a series pursuant to this Section shall remain subordinated
to the extent provided in Article Twelve.

 

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 

 

33

 

has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in
this Article provided, the Holders of not less than a majority in
aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series, by
written notice to the Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such
declaration and its consequences if:

 

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

 

(A)                              all
overdue interest (including any Additional Interest) on all Securities of that
series,

 

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

 

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

 

(D)                               all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
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 (or a specified portion of the principal) of and
interest on Securities of that series which has become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.

 

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

 

Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written notice declaring such an acceleration, or
rescission and annulment thereof, with respect to Securities of a series all or
part of which is represented by a Global Security, a record date shall be
established for determining Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series
entitled to join in such notice, which record date shall be at the close of
business on the day the Trustee receives such notice.  The Holders on such record date, or their
duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be entitled to join in
such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders after such record date;
provided, that, unless such declaration of acceleration, or rescission
and annulment, as the case may be, shall have become effective by virtue of the
requisite percentage having joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90
days after such record date, such notice of declaration of acceleration, or
rescission and annulment, as the case may be, shall automatically and without
further action by any Holder be canceled and of no further effect.  Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a
Holder, or a proxy of a 

 

34

 

Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day
period, a new written notice of declaration of acceleration, or rescission and
annulment thereof, as the case may be, that is identical to a written notice
which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to the preceding
sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established pursuant to the
provisions of this Section 502.

 

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 (including any Additional 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 (and premium, if any, on) any
Security at the Maturity thereof,

 

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

 

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

 

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

Section 504.                                          Trustee May File
Proofs of Claim. 
In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities, including the Subsidiary Guarantor), its property
or its creditors:

 

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

 

(i)                                     to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding, and

 

(ii)                                  in
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same in accordance with Section 506; and

 

(b)                                 any
custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other
similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Holder to make such payments to the Trustee for distribution in accordance with
Section 506, and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the
making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any
amount due it for the reasonable compensation, 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 or property collected or to be applied by the Trustee with
respect to a series of Securities pursuant to 

 

36

 

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

 

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

 

SECOND:  Subject to Article Twelve, to the
payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon such series of Securities for
principal (and premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional
Interest), 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 series of Securities for principal (and
premium, if any) and interest (including any Additional Interest),
respectively; and

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

37

 

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 premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 307 and Section 311) interest (including any
Additional 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 Subsidiary Guarantor, the
Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their
former positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the
Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been
instituted.

 

Section 510.                                          Rights and
Remedies Cumulative. 
Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment
of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 306,
no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the
Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every
right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in
addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter
existing at law or in equity or otherwise. 
The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise,
shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other
appropriate right or remedy.

 

Section 511.                                          Delay or
Omission Not Waiver. 
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities
to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair
any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or
an acquiescence therein.

 

Every
right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed
expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

 

38

 

Section 512.                                          Control by
Holders.  The Holders of a
majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any
series shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust
or power conferred on the Trustee, with respect to the Securities of such
series, provided that:

 

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

 

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

 

Upon
receipt by the Trustee of any written notice directing the time, method or
place of conducting any such proceeding or exercising any such trust or power,
with respect to Securities of a series all or part of which is represented by a
Global Security, a record date shall be established for determining Holders of
Outstanding Securities of such series entitled to join in such notice, which
record date shall be at the close of business on the day the Trustee receives
such notice.  The Holders on such record
date, or their duly designated proxies, and only such Persons, shall be
entitled to join in such notice, whether or not such Holders remain Holders
after such record date; provided, that, unless the Holders of a majority
in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series shall have
joined in such notice prior to the day which is 90 days after such record date,
such notice shall automatically and without further action by any Holder be
canceled and of no further effect. 
Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent a Holder, or a proxy of a
Holder, from giving, after expiration of such 90-day period, a new notice
identical to a notice which has been canceled pursuant to the proviso to
the preceding sentence, in which event a new record date shall be established
pursuant to the provisions of this Section 512.

 

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

 

(1)                                  in
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any
Additional 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.

 

39

 

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

 

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

 

Section 515.                                          Waiver of
Usury, Stay or Extension Laws. 
Each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor covenants (to the
extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or
plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any usury, stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter
in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture;
and each of the Company and the Subsidiary Guarantor (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such
law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the
execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.

SIX

The
Trustee

 

Section 601.                                          Certain
Duties and Responsibilities. 
The duties, responsibilities, protections, privileges, and immunities of
the Trustee shall be as provided by the Trust Indenture Act, particularly
Sections 315 and 316 thereof, unless expressly excluded as provided in
this Article Six.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any 

 

40

 

financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

 

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

 

Section 602.                                          Notice of
Defaults.  If a default occurs
hereunder with respect to the Securities of a series, the Trustee within 90
days of such default shall give the Holders of such Securities notice of such
default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided,
however, that the Trustee may withhold notice to the Holders, of any
default with respect to Securities of a series (except any default of the
character specified in Section 501(1) and (2)), if and so long as the
board of directors, the executive committee or a trust committee of directors
or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determine that the
withholding of the notice is in the interest of the Holders of such
Securities.  For the purpose of this
Section, the term “default” means any event which is, or after notice or lapse
of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a series.

 

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

 

(1)                             the
Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting
upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

 

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

 

(3)                             whenever
in the administration of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it desirable
that a matter be proved or established prior to taking, suffering or omitting
any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other evidence be herein specifically
prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officers’
Certificate and may at its discretion secure such further evidence deemed
necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same;

 

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

 

41

 

protection in
respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and
in reliance thereon;

 

(5)                             the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other
evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its
discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or
matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such
further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books,
records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

(9)                             the
Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any “default” or Event of
Default hereunder except (i) during any period it is serving as Paying
Agent for the Securities of a series, any Event of Default pursuant to Section 501(1) or
(2), or (ii) any default or Event of Default of which a Responsible
Officer shall have received written notification from the Company or the
Holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the
series with respect to which such default or Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing or obtained “actual knowledge.” 
The term “actual knowledge” as used herein shall mean the actual fact or
statement of knowing by a Responsible Officer without independent investigation
with respect thereto.  The term “default”
as used in this Section 603 shall mean any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of a series;

 

42

 

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

 

(11)                       in
no event shall the Trustee be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in
the performance of its obligations under this Indenture arising out of or
caused by, directly or indirectly, forces beyond its reasonable control,
including without limitation strikes, work stoppages, accidents, acts of war or
terrorism, civil or military disturbances, nuclear or natural catastrophes or
acts of God, and interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities,
communications or computer (software or hardware) services.

 

Notwithstanding
anything else herein contained, (i) the Trustee shall not be liable for
any error of judgment made in good faith by any officer of the Trustee unless
it shall be proved that the Trustee was grossly negligent in ascertaining the
pertinent facts and (ii) no provision of this Indenture shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers if it believes the repayment of such funds or
adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to
it.

 

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

 

Section 605.                                          May Hold
Securities. 
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to
Sections 608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights
it would have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent,
Security Registrar or such other agent.

 

Section 606.                                          Money Held
in Trust.  Money held by the
Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to
the extent required by law.  The Trustee
shall be under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder
except as agreed with the Company herein or otherwise.

 

43

 

Section 607.                                          Compensation
and Reimbursement. 
The Company agrees:

 

(1)                             to
pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust);

 

(2)                             except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its
request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or
made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Indenture and
incurred or made without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith of it or
of its agents or attorneys (including the reasonable compensation and the
reasonable expenses and disbursements of its agents or attorneys);

 

(3)                             to
indemnify, defend and to hold the Trustee harmless against, any loss, liability
or expense (including the reasonable compensation and the reasonable expenses
and disbursements of its agents or attorneys) incurred without negligence,
willful misconduct or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any
claim or liability in connection therewith or with the exercise or performance
of any of its powers or duties hereunder;

 

(4)                             that
the Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities upon all property and
funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any predecessor Trustee
pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds held in trust
for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities; and

 

(5)                             without
limiting any rights available to the Trustee under applicable law, that when
the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection with an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(4) or Section 501(5), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law.

 

Section 608.                                          Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.

meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to

under [(i) the Senior Indenture dated as

Section 609.                                          Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility. 
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall (i) be
a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States
of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia, (ii) be
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, (iii) have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and (iv) be
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority.  If such corporation files reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its
combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so filed.  If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article Six. 
Neither the Company nor any Person directly or indirectly controlling,
controlled by or under common control with the Company shall serve as Trustee
for the Securities of any series issued hereunder.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

If at
any time:

 

(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

 

45

 

any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,

 

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

 

If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 611.  If, within one year after such resignation,
removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee
so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in
accordance with the 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 for at least six
months may, subject to Section 514, on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.

 

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

 

Section 611.                                               Acceptance
of Appointment by Successor.

 

(a)                                  In
the case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to
all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed 

 

46

 

or conveyance, shall
become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee; but, on the request of the Company or the successor Trustee, such
retiring Trustee shall, upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an
instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights, powers and
trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to
such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring Trustee
hereunder.

 

(b)                                 In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein
each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (i) 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, (ii) 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 (iii) 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.

 

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

 

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

Section 612.                                          Merger,
Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.  Any corporation into which the Trustee may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee
shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be otherwise qualified and
eligible under this Article, without the execution or filing of any paper or
any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.  In case any Securities shall have been
authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor
by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt
such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same
effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.

 

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

 

Section 614.                                          Appointment
of Authenticating Agent. 
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be
entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory
for all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder.  Wherever reference is made in this Indenture
to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee’s
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent.  Each Authenticating
Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a
corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States of
America, any State, Territory or the District of Columbia, authorized under
such laws to act as Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus
of not less than $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority.  If such
Authenticating Agent files reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so filed.  If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall
cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.

 

48

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

The
Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section.

 

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

 

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

Outstanding Security affected thereby:

 

(1)                                  except
to the extent permitted by Section 311 or as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 with respect to the extension of the interest
payment period of the Securities of any series, change the Stated Maturity of

except to increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other
provisions of this Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent

that this clause shall not be deemed to require the consent of any Holder with
respect to changes in the references to “the Trustee” and concomitant changes
in this Section and Section 1006, or the deletion of this proviso, in
accordance with the requirements of Sections 611 and 901(10); or

provision of this Indenture or a Subsidiary Guarantee, that has expressly been
included solely for the benefit of one or more particular series of Securities,
or which modifies the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series with
respect to such covenant or other provision, shall be deemed not to affect the
rights under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series.

 

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

Supplemental Indentures.

upon, an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating that the
execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this
Indenture, and that all conditions precedent have been complied with.  The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated
to, enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the Trustee’s own
rights, duties, protections, privileges, indemnities, liabilities or immunities
under this Indenture or otherwise.

Securities to Supplemental Indentures.  Securities authenticated and delivered after
the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Article may,
and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form approved by the

ARTICLE TEN

Covenants

 

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

 

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

 

Section 1002.                                    Maintenance
of Office or Agency. 
The Company will maintain in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New
York and each other Place of Payment for any series, an office or agency where
Securities of that series may be presented or surrendered for payment, and an
office or agency where Securities may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect
of the Securities and this Indenture may be served.  The Company initially appoints the Trustee,
acting through an affiliate of its corporate trust office in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York, as its agent for said purposes.  The Company will give prompt written notice
to the Trustee of the location, and any change in the location, of any such
office or agency.  If at any time the
Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail
to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent
to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.

 

57

 

The Company may also from time to time designate one
or more other offices or agencies where the Securities may be presented or
surrendered for any or all such purposes and may from time to time rescind such
designations; provided, however, that no such designation or
rescission shall in any manner relieve the Company of its obligation to
maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York
and each other Place of Payment for Securities of any series for such
purposes.  The Company will give prompt
written notice to the Trustee of any such designation or rescission and of any
change in the location of any such other office or agency.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

58

 

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

 

Section 1004.                                    Statement by
Officers as to Default. 
The Company will deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end
of each fiscal year of the Company ending after the date hereof, an Officers’
Certificate covering the preceding fiscal year, stating whether or not, to the
best knowledge of the signers thereof, the Company is in default in the
performance and observance of any of the terms, provisions and conditions of
this Indenture (without regard to any period of grace or requirement of notice
provided hereunder) and, if the Company shall be in default, specifying all
such defaults and the nature and status thereof of which they may have
knowledge.

 

Section 1005.                                    Payment of
Taxes.  The Company will
pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged, before the same shall
become delinquent, all taxes, assessments and governmental charges levied or
imposed upon the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or upon the income,
profits or property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary, and lawful
claims for labor, materials and supplies, which, if unpaid, might by law become
a Lien upon the property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be required to pay or discharge or
cause to be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment or governmental charge
whose amount, applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings or where the failure to effect such payment is not
adverse in any material respect to the Holders of the Securities.

 

Section 1006.                                    Waiver of
Certain Covenants.  The Company may omit in any particular
instance to comply with any term, provision, covenant or condition set forth in

 

59

 

any covenant provided pursuant to Section 301(10) or
Section 901(6) for the benefit of the Holders or in Section 1005,
with respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for
such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, 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.

principal amount of such Securities then Outstanding plus accrued and unpaid
interest up to, but excluding, the date fixed for redemption; provided, however,
that installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307, unless otherwise so specified.

 

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

 

Section 1103.                                    Election to

case of any redemption at the election of the Company of the Securities of a
series, the Company shall, at least 45 days but not more than 60 days prior to
the 

 

60

 

Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless
a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of
such Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and,
if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed.  In the case of any redemption of Securities (a) prior
to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms
of such Securities or (b) pursuant to an election of the Company
which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such Securities, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate and an Opinion
of Counsel evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context
otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities

part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been
or is to be redeemed.  If the Company
shall so direct, Securities registered in the name of the Company, any
Affiliate or any Subsidiary thereof shall not be included in the Securities
selected for redemption.

 

Section 1105.                                    Notice of

All notices of redemption shall state:

 

(1)                             the
Redemption Date;

 

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

 

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

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

 

Section 1106.                                    Deposit of
Redemption Price. 
Prior to 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 1107.                                    Securities
Payable on Redemption Date. 
Notice of redemption having been given pursuant to Section 1105,
the Securities to be so redeemed shall, on the 

 

62

 

Redemption Date, become due and payable at
the Redemption Price therein specified, and from and after such date (unless
the Company shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price and accrued
interest) such Securities shall cease to bear or accrue any interest.  Upon surrender of any such Security for
redemption in accordance with said notice, such Security shall be paid by the
Company at the Redemption Price, together with any accrued but unpaid interest
to, but excluding, the Redemption Date; provided, however, that
installments of accrued and unpaid interest whose Stated Maturity is on or
prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to the Holders of such Securities,
or one or more Predecessor Securities, registered as such at the close of
business on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms and the
provisions of Section 307, unless, in connection with a Redemption Date
falling on an Interest Payment Date, the Securities of the particular series
provide that interest payable on an Interest Payment Date that is a Redemption
Date shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is payable.

 

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

 

Section 1108.                                    Securities
Redeemed in Part. 
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so
requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder of such
Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of like tenor, of
any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered.

entitled to receive payment in full of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for

kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the
payment of any other Indebtedness of the Company (including any series of the

have received any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior

Indebtedness (or any trustee, agent or representative therefor) shall, at least
three Business Days prior to the time of such payment or distribution, have

distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all
Senior Indebtedness of the Company remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to

Person which acquires by sale all such properties and assets or such properties
and assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part
of such consolidation, merger, or sale comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight.

Payment to Senior Indebtedness of the Company Upon Acceleration of Securities.  In the event that any Securities are declared
due and payable before their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the
holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Company outstanding at the time such
Securities so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in
full of all amounts due on or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including
any amounts due upon acceleration), or provision shall be made for such payment
in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Securities are
entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether
in cash, properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment)
by the Company on account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or on account of the
purchase or other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the
satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or
as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities
of any series by delivering and crediting as contemplated by Section 301
for the Securities of any series Securities which have been acquired (upon
redemption or otherwise) prior to such declaration of acceleration.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security
prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if written notice
of such fact from the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Company (or any trustee, agent or representative therefor) shall, at least
three Business Days prior to the time of such payment, have been received by a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then
and in such event such payment shall be paid over and delivered forthwith to
the Company.

When Senior Indebtedness of the Company in Default.

 

(a) In the event and during the
continuation of any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest on any Senior Indebtedness of the Company, or in the event that any
event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall
have occurred and be continuing and shall have resulted in such Senior
Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable prior to the date on
which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such
event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist
and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or (b) in
the event any judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such
default in payment or such event of default, then no payment or distribution of
any kind or character, whether in cash, properties or securities (including any
Junior Subordinated Payment) shall be made by the Company on account of principal
of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest), if
any, on the Securities or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of
Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary; provided, however, that nothing in
this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking fund payment in
accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301
for the Securities of any series by delivering and crediting pursuant to Section 1202
or as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for the

Section 1205.                                    Payment
Permitted If No Default.

 

Nothing
contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in any of the
Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during
the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1202 or under the
conditions described in Sections 1203 

 

66

 

and
1204, from making payments at any time of principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest on the Securities, or (b) the application by the Trustee
of any money or Government Obligations deposited with it hereunder to the
payment of or on account of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest
(including any Additional Interest) on the Securities or the retention of such
payment by the Holders, if, at least three Business Days prior to the time of
such application by the Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee did not
receive written notice from the Company or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of
the Company (or any trustee, agent or representative therefor) that such
payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, money or Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 402
or 1405 shall not be subject to the claims of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company under this Article Twelve.

 

Section 1206.                                    Subrogation
to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.  Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the extent
of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such Senior
Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally and
ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Company which by its
express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the Company to
substantially the same extent as the Securities are subordinated to such Senior
Indebtedness and is entitled to like rights of subrogation by reason of any
payments or distributions made to holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to the
rights of the holders of such Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and
distributions of cash, property and securities applicable to the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company until the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on the Securities shall be paid in full.  For purposes of such subrogation or
assignment, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of the Company of any cash, property or securities to which the
Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for the
provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions of
this Article to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness by Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other
than holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and the Holders of the
Securities, be deemed to be a payment or distribution by the Company to or on
account of such Senior Indebtedness.

 

Section 1207.                                    Provisions
Solely to Define Relative Rights. 
The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company on the other
hand.  Nothing contained in this Article or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a) impair,
as between the Company and the Holders of the Securities, the obligations of
the Company, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to the Holders of the
Securities the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest (including any
Additional Interest) on the Securities as and when the 

 

67

 

same shall become due and payable in
accordance with their terms; or (b) affect the relative rights
against the Company of the Holders of the Securities and creditors of the
Company other than their rights in relation to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company; or (c) prevent the Trustee or the
Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by
applicable law upon default under this Indenture including, without limitation,
filing and voting claims in any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under
this Article of the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to
receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the
Trustee or such Holder.

 

Section 1208.                                    Trustee to
Effectuate Subordination. 
Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his or her attorney-in-fact
for any and all such purposes.

 

Section 1209.                                    No Waiver of
Subordination Provisions. 
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of
the Company to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at any time in
any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of
the Company or by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such holder,
or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and covenants
of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may
have or be otherwise charged with.

 

Section 1210.                                    Notice to
Trustee.  The Company shall
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to the Company
which would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect
of the Securities.  Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the
Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which
would prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the
Securities, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have
received written notice thereof from the Company or a holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Company or from any trustee, agent or representative
therefor (whether or not the facts contained in such notice are true);
provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
provided for in this Section at least three Business Days prior to the
date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable for any
purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any
Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply
the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be affected
by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it within three Business
Days prior to such date.

 

68

 

Section 1211.                                    Reliance on
Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent or Other Notices.  Upon any payment or distribution of assets of
the Company referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Article Six, and the Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to
rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in
which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the trustee in
bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit
of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or distribution,
delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the purpose of
ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness and other indebtedness of
the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid
or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this
Article.

 

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery
to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company (or an agent or representative of such
holder or a trustee under any indenture under which any instruments evidencing
any such Senior Indebtedness of the Company may have been issued) to establish
that such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or such
agent or representative or trustee on behalf of such holder.  In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company to participate in any
payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Twelve, the Trustee may
request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the
Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the Company held by such
Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the right of such
Person under this Article Twelve, and, if such evidence is not furnished,
the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination
as to the right of such Person to receive such payment or distribution.

 

Section 1212.                                    Trustee Not
Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company.  The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under
this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Company and shall not be liable to any such holders
if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of
Securities or to the Company or to any other Person cash, property or
securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Company shall be
entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.

 

Section 1213.                                    Rights of
Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company; Preservation of
Trustee’s Rights. 
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
of the Company which may at any time be held by it, to the same extent as any
other holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Company, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

 

69

 

Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of,
or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607 or the second
to last paragraphs of Sections 401 and 1405.

 

Section 1214.                                    Article Applicable
to Paying Agents. 
In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee”
as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise requires)
be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within its meaning
as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were named in
this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

 

Section 1215.                                    Certain
Conversions or Exchanges Deemed Payment.  For the purposes of this Article only, (a) the
issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion or exchange of
Securities shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on
account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on Securities or on account of the purchase or other
acquisition of Securities, and (b) the payment, issuance or
delivery of cash, property or securities (other than junior securities) upon conversion
or exchange of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on account of
the principal of such Security.  For the
purposes of this Section, the term “junior securities” means (i) shares
of any stock of any class of the Company and (ii) securities of the
Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness
of the Company which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of
such securities to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent
than, the Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article.

Section 1301.                                    Subsidiary

agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by its acceptance thereof, likewise
covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and in the manner hereinafter set
forth in this Article, all payments pursuant to each and any Subsidiary
Guarantee made by or on behalf of the Subsidiary Guarantor are hereby expressly
made subordinate in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
amounts then due and payable in respect of all Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor.  Each Holder, by
its acceptance hereof, waives all notice of acceptance of the subordination
provisions contained herein by each holder of Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor, whether now outstanding or hereafter incurred and waives
reliance by each such holder upon said provisions.

 

Section 1302.                                    Payment Over

liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the
benefit of creditors, marshaling of assets or any 

 

70

 

bankruptcy, insolvency, debt restructuring or
similar proceedings in connection with the Subsidiary Guarantor’s insolvency or
bankruptcy (each such event, if any, herein sometimes referred to as a “Proceeding”),
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest, if any, on such Senior Indebtedness, or provision shall be made for
such payment in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the
Securities are entitled to receive or retain any payment or distribution of any
kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities (including any
payment or distribution which may be payable or deliverable by reason of the
payment of any other Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor subordinated to
the payment of any Subsidiary Guarantee, such payment or distribution being
hereinafter referred to as a “Junior Subordinated Payment”), on account of any
payment pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee or on account of the purchase or
other acquisition of Securities by the Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary

shall be entitled to receive, for application to the payment thereof, any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, including any Junior Subordinated Payment, which may be payable or
deliverable in respect of the Subsidiary Guarantee in any such Proceeding.

 

In the
event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, the
Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any payment or
distribution of assets of the Subsidiary Guarantor of any kind or character,
whether in cash, property or securities, including any Junior Subordinated
Payment, before all Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor is paid in
full or payment thereof is provided for in cash or cash equivalents or
otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness,
and if written notice thereof from the Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor (or any trustee, agent or
representative therefor) shall, at least three Business Days prior to the time
of such payment or distribution, have been received by a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee or, as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such
payment or distribution shall be paid over or delivered forthwith to the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee,
agent or other Person making payment or distribution of assets of the
Subsidiary Guarantor for application to the payment of all Senior Indebtedness
of the Subsidiary Guarantor remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay
all such Senior Indebtedness in full, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor.

 

For
purposes of this Article only, the words “any payment or distribution of
any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities” shall not be
deemed to include shares of stock of the Subsidiary Guarantor as reorganized or
readjusted, or securities of the Subsidiary Guarantor or any other corporation
provided for by a plan of reorganization or readjustment which securities are

Guarantor into, another Person or the liquidation or dissolution of the
Subsidiary Guarantor following the sale of all of its properties and assets or
of its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to another Person or
the liquidation or dissolution of the Subsidiary Guarantor following the sale
of all of its properties and assets or of its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to another Person shall not be deemed a Proceeding
for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Subsidiary Guarantor is merged or the Person
which acquires by sale all such properties and assets or such properties and
assets substantially as an entirety, as the case may be, shall, as a part of
such consolidation, merger, or sale comply with any conditions set forth in any
applicable supplemental indenture.

 

Section 1303.                                    Prior
Payment to Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor Upon Acceleration of
Securities. 
In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before
their Stated Maturity, then and in such event the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor outstanding at the time such
Securities so become due and payable shall be entitled to receive payment in
full of all amounts due on or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness (including
any amounts due upon acceleration), or provision shall be made for such payment
in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the
holders of such Senior Indebtedness, before the Holders of the Securities are
entitled to receive any payment or distribution of any kind or character,
whether in cash, properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated
Payment) by the Subsidiary Guarantor on account of any payment pursuant to any
Subsidiary Guarantee or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of
Securities by the Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary; provided, however,
that nothing in this Section shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking
fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series by delivering
and crediting as contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any
series Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior
to such declaration of acceleration.

 

In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall make any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any
Security prohibited by the foregoing provisions of this Section, and if written
notice of such fact from the Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder of Senior
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor (or any trustee, agent or
representative therefor) shall, at least three Business Days prior to the time
of such payment, have been received by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or,
as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be
paid over and delivered forthwith to the Subsidiary Guarantor.

When Senior Indebtedness of Subsidiary Guarantor in Default.

 

(a) In the event and during the
continuation of any default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any)
or interest on any Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or in the
event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall have occurred and be continuing and shall have
resulted in such Senior Indebtedness becoming or being declared due and payable
prior to the date on which it would otherwise have become due and payable,
unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall
have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or
annulled, or (b) in the event any judicial proceeding shall be
pending with respect to any such default in payment or such event of default,
then no payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash,
properties or securities (including any Junior Subordinated Payment) shall be
made by the Subsidiary Guarantor on account of any payment pursuant to any
Subsidiary Guarantee or on account of the purchase or other acquisition of
Securities by the Subsidiary Guarantor or any Subsidiary; provided, however,

fund payment in accordance with this Indenture or as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series by delivering
and crediting pursuant to Section 1302 or as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for the Securities of any series Securities
which have been acquired (upon redemption or otherwise) prior to such default

any payment to the Trustee or the Holder of any Security prohibited by the foregoing
provisions of this Section, and if written notice thereof from the Subsidiary
Guarantor or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor (or
any trustee, agent or representative therefor) shall, at least three Business
Days prior to the time of such payment, have been received by the Trustee or,
as the case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such payment shall be
paid over and delivered forthwith to the Subsidiary Guarantor.

 

The
provisions of this Section shall not apply to any payment with respect to
which Section 1302 would be applicable.

 

Section 1305.                                    Payment
Permitted If No Default. 
Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in any of the Securities or any Subsidiary Guarantee shall prevent (a) the
Subsidiary Guarantor, at any time except during the pendency of any Proceeding
referred to in Section 1302 or under the conditions described 

 

73

 

in Sections 1303 and 1304, from making
payments at any time pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee, or (b) the
application by the Trustee of any money or Government Obligations deposited
with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of any payment pursuant to
any Subsidiary Guarantee or the retention of such payment by the Holders, if,
at least three Business Days prior to the time of such application by the
Trustee, a Responsible Officer of the Trustee did not receive written notice
from the Subsidiary Guarantor or any holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary
Guarantor (or any trustee, agent or representative therefor) that such payment
would have been prohibited by the provisions of this Article.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, money or Government Obligations held in trust pursuant to Section 402
or 1405 shall not be subject to the claims of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor under this Article Thirteen.

 

Section 1306.                                    Subrogation
to Rights of Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor.  Subject to the payment in full of all Senior
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, or the provision for such payment in
cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders
of such Senior Indebtedness, the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated
to the extent of the payments or distributions made to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness pursuant to the provisions of this Article (equally
and ratably with the holders of all indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor
which by its express terms is subordinated to Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor to substantially the same extent as the Subsidiary
Guarantee is subordinated to such Senior Indebtedness and is entitled to like
rights of subrogation by reason of any payments or distributions made to
holders of such Senior Indebtedness) to the rights of the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to such Senior Indebtedness until all payments due
pursuant to the Subsidiary Guarantee shall be paid in full.  For purposes of such subrogation or
assignment, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior
Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor of any cash, property or securities to
which the Holders of the Securities or the Trustee would be entitled except for
the provisions of this Article, and no payments over pursuant to the provisions
of this Article to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary
Guarantor by Holders of the Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the
Subsidiary Guarantor, its creditors other than holders of its Senior
Indebtedness, and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a payment or
distribution by the Subsidiary Guarantor to or on account of its Senior
Indebtedness.

 

Section 1307.                                    Provisions
Solely to Define Relative Rights. 
The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders of the Securities on the
one hand and the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor on
the other hand.  Nothing contained in
this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities or in any
Subsidiary Guarantee is intended to or shall (a) impair, as between
the Subsidiary Guarantor and the Holders of the Securities, the obligations of
the Subsidiary Guarantor, which are absolute and unconditional, to pay to 

 

74

 

the Holders of the Securities any payment
pursuant to any Subsidiary Guarantee as and when the same shall become due and
payable in accordance with its terms; or (b) affect the relative
rights against the Subsidiary Guarantor of the Holders of the Securities and
creditors of the Subsidiary Guarantor other than their rights in relation to
the holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor; or (c) prevent
the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture or any
Subsidiary Guarantee including, without limitation, filing and voting claims in
any Proceeding, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the
holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to receive cash,
property and securities otherwise payable or deliverable to the Trustee or such
Holder.

 

Section 1308.                                    Trustee to
Effectuate Subordination. 
Each Holder of a Security by his or her acceptance thereof authorizes
and directs the Trustee on his or her behalf to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to acknowledge or effectuate the subordination
provided in this Article and appoints the Trustee his or her
attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.

 

Section 1309.                                    No Waiver of
Subordination Provisions. 
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Indebtedness of
the Subsidiary Guarantor to enforce subordination as herein provided shall at
any time in any way be prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act on
the part of the Subsidiary Guarantor or by any act or failure to act, in good
faith, by any such holder, or by any noncompliance by the Subsidiary Guarantor
with the terms, provisions and covenants of this Indenture or any Subsidiary
Guarantee, regardless of any knowledge thereof that any such holder may have or
be otherwise charged with.

 

Section 1310.                                    Notice to
Trustee.  The Subsidiary
Guarantor shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any fact known to
the Subsidiary Guarantor which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of any Subsidiary Guarantee.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or
any other provision of this Indenture or any Subsidiary Guarantee, the Trustee
shall not be charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would
prohibit the making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of any
Subsidiary Guarantee, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
shall have received written notice thereof from the Subsidiary Guarantor or a
holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor or from any trustee,
agent or representative therefor (whether or not the facts contained in such
notice are true); provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have
received the notice provided for in this Section at least three Business Days
prior to the date upon which by the terms hereof any monies may become payable
for any purpose (including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest (including any Additional Interest) on any
Security), then, anything herein contained to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall have full power and authority to receive such monies and to apply
the same to the purpose for which they were received and shall not be 

 

75

 

affected by any notice to the contrary which
may be received by it within three Business Days prior to such date.

 

Section 1311.                                    Reliance on
Judicial Order or Certificate of Liquidating Agent or Other Notices.  Upon any payment or distribution of assets of
the Subsidiary Guarantor referred to in this Article, the Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Article Six, and the Holders of the Securities shall be
entitled to rely upon any order or decree entered by any court of competent
jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is pending, or a certificate of the
trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee for
the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person making such payment or
distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities, for the
purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such payment or
distribution, the holders of the Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary
Guarantor and other indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor, the amount thereof
or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all
other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article.

 

The Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the delivery
to it of a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of
Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor (or an agent or representative
of such holder or a trustee under any indenture under which any instruments
evidencing any such Senior Indebtedness may have been issued) to establish that
such notice has been given by a holder of such Senior Indebtedness or such
agent or representative or trustee on behalf of such holder.  In the event that the Trustee determines in
good faith that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any
Person as a holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor to
participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Thirteen,
the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable
satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor held by such Person, the extent to which such Person is
entitled to participate in such payment or distribution and any other facts
pertinent to the right of such Person under this Article Thirteen, and, if
such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such
Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive
such payment or distribution.

 

Section 1312.                                    Trustee Not
Fiduciary for Holders of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor.  The Trustee, in its capacity as trustee under
this Indenture, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of
Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor and shall not be liable to any
such holders if it shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to
Holders of Securities or to the Subsidiary Guarantor or to any other Person
cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness of the
Subsidiary Guarantor shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or
otherwise.

 

76

 

Section 1313.                                    Rights of
Trustee as Holder of Senior Indebtedness of the Subsidiary Guarantor;
Preservation of Trustee’s Rights. 
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Indebtedness
of the Subsidiary Guarantor which may at any time be held by it, to the same
extent as any other holder of such Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this
Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as such holder.

 

Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of,
or payments to, the Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607 or the second
to last paragraphs of Sections 401 and 1405.

 

Section 1314.                                    Article Applicable
to Paying Agents. 
In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term “Trustee”
as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee.

 

Section 1315.                                    Certain
Conversions or Exchanges Deemed Payment.  For the purposes of this Article only, (a) the
issuance and delivery of junior securities upon conversion or exchange of
Securities shall not be deemed to constitute a payment or distribution on
account of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest (including any
Additional Interest) on Securities or on account of the purchase or other
acquisition of Securities, and (b) the payment, issuance or
delivery of cash, property or securities (other than junior securities) upon
conversion or exchange of a Security shall be deemed to constitute payment on
account of the principal of such Security. 
For the purposes of this Section, the term “junior securities” means (i) shares
of any stock of any class of the Company and (ii) securities of the
Company which are subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Indebtedness
which may be outstanding at the time of issuance or delivery of such securities
to substantially the same extent as, or to a greater extent than, the
Securities are so subordinated as provided in this Article.

 

ARTICLE FOURTEEN

Defeasance
and Covenant Defeasance

 

Section 1401.                                    Company’s
Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The Company may elect, at its option at any
time, to have Section 1402 or Section 1403 applied to any Securities
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.  Any such election shall be evidenced by a
Board Resolution.

 

Section 1402.                                    Defeasance
and Discharge. 
Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied
to any Securities, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its
obligations with respect to such Securities as 

 

77

 

provided in this Section on and after
the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 are satisfied
(hereinafter called “Defeasance”).  For
this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to have
paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and
to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the
expense of the Company and upon Company Request, shall execute proper
instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following, which shall
survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder:

 

(1)                             the
Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305,
306, 1002 and 1003;

 

(2)                             the
rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder; and

 

(3)                             this
Article.

 

Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company
may exercise its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
Securities notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1403
applied to such Securities.

 

Section 1403.                                    Covenant
Defeasance. 
Upon the Company’s exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied
to any Securities the Company shall be released from its obligations under Section 801
and Section 1005 and any covenants provided pursuant to 901(6) for
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities as provided in this Section on
and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1404 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, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any
such Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but
the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected
thereby.

 

Notwithstanding any Covenant Defeasance with respect
to Section 801, any Person that would otherwise have been required to
assume the obligations of the Company pursuant to said Section shall be
required, as a condition to any merger, consolidation, conveyance, transfer or
lease contemplated thereby, to assume the obligations of the Company to the
Trustee under Sections 401, 607 and 1405.

 

Section 1404.                                    Conditions
to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.  The following shall be the conditions to the
application of Section 1402 or Section 1403 to any Securities:

 

78

 

(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, (i) money, or (ii) Government
Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in
respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one
day before the due date of any payment, money, or (iii) a
combination thereof, in each case in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying
trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on
such Securities due on or before the respective Stated Maturities or the
Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such
Securities; provided that the Trustee shall have the right (but not the
obligation) to require the Company to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification, or other evidence satisfactory to the Trustee, as to the
sufficiency of deposits made by the Company pursuant to this Section.

 

(2)           In the event of an
election to have Section 1402 apply to any Securities, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this instrument, there
has been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in the case of
either (i) or (ii) 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 1403 apply to any Securities, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on
the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
if such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.

 

(4)           No event which is, or
after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with
respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have occurred and be
continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any such event
specified in Sections 501(4) and (5), at any time on or prior to the 90th
day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).

 

79

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section 1405.              Deposited
Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.  Subject to the provisions of the last
paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including
the proceeds thereof and the interest thereon) deposited with the Trustee or
other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1406,
the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to collectively as the “Trustee”)
pursuant to Section 1404 in respect of any Securities shall be held in
trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such
Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any
such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the
Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and
to become due thereon in respect of principal and any premium and interest, but
money so held in trust need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required by law.

 

The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other
charge imposed on or assessed against the Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1404 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
Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1404 with respect
to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of
independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee or in the opinion of such other Persons delivered to
the Trustee as shall be reasonably satisfactory 

 

80

 

to the
Trustee (which may be the same opinion delivered to the Trustee under Section 1404(1)),
are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be,
with respect to such Securities.

 

Section 1406.            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 1402 or 1403
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 1405
with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article; provided,
however, that if the Company makes any payment of principal of or any
premium or interest on any such Security following such reinstatement of its
obligations, the Company shall be subrogated to the rights (if any) of the
Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the money so held in
trust.

 

Section 1407.            Qualifying
Trustee.  Any trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 1404 for the purpose of holding trust funds
deposited pursuant to that Section shall be appointed under an agreement
in form acceptable to the Trustee and shall provide to the Trustee a
certificate of such trustee, upon which certificate the Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely, that all conditions precedent provided for
herein to the related Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied
with.  In no event shall the Trustee be
liable for any acts or omissions of said trustee.

the Company or any Participating Subsidiary of the Company shall be eligible to
participate in the Offering as of the first day of the next Participation
Period.  The Committee may also determine
that a designated group of highly compensated Employees are ineligible to
participate in the Plan so long as the excluded category fits within the
definition of “highly compensated employee” in Code Section 414(q).  The Committee may impose restrictions on
eligibility and participation of Employees who are officers or directors to
facilitate compliance with federal or state securities laws or foreign laws.

 

3.02.                Restrictions on Participation. 
Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan to the contrary, no Employee
shall be granted an Option under the Plan:

 

(a)                   if, immediately after such grant, such Employee would
own stock possessing five percent or more of the total combined voting power or
value of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company,
such ownership to be determined by applying the rules of Section 424(d) of
the Code and treating stock which the Employee may purchase under outstanding
options as stock owned by the Employee; or

 

(b)                   which would permit his or her rights to purchase stock
under the Plan (and under any other plans of the Company or any Subsidiary of
the Company qualifying under Section 423 of the Code) to accrue at a rate
which exceeds the lesser of (i) 10% of the Employee’s Base Pay or (ii) $25,000
of fair market value of the stock (determined on the basis of the fair market
value of the stock at the time such Option is granted) for each calendar year
in which such Option is outstanding.

 

3.03.                Commencement of Participation. 
A Participant may elect to participate by executing the enrollment form
prescribed for such purpose by the Committee which enrollment form may include
an application for an account with the Company’s designated broker.  The enrollment form shall be filed with the
Committee at any time prior to the first day of the next Participation
Period.  The Participant shall designate
on the enrollment form the percentage of his or her Base Pay which he or she
elects to have withheld for the purchase of Common Stock, which may be any
whole percentage from 1% to 10%.  Once
enrolled, a Participant will continue to participate in the Plan for each
succeeding Participation Period until he or she terminates participation or
ceases to qualify as an Employee.

 

Section 4.  Common Stock Subject to
the Plan.

 

4.01.                Number of Shares. 
The total number of shares of Common Stock for which Options may be
granted under this Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate 1,500,000 (one
million five hundred thousand) shares of Common Stock. The Plan, as amended by
the stockholders on July 24, 2007, will be implemented by an Offering of
shares of Common Stock (the “Offering”). The Offering under the Plan, as
amended, shall begin on May 1, 2008 and shall terminate on April 30,
2018.

 

4.02.                Reissuance. 
The shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Options granted under
this Plan may be either authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock or
shares of Common Stock reacquired at any time and now or hereafter held as
treasury stock of the Company as the Committee may determine.  In the event that any outstanding Option
expires or is terminated for any reason, the shares allocable to the
unexercised portion of such Option may again be subject to an Option granted
under this Plan.

 

Section 5.  Administration of the Plan.

 

5.01.                Committee. 
The Plan shall be administered by the Compensation Committee of the
Board of Directors, or such other committee established by the Board of
Directors (the “Committee”) consisting of no less than two persons.  The Committee shall be appointed from time to
time by, and shall serve at the pleasure of, the Board of Directors.

 

 

5.02.                Interpretation. 
The Committee shall be authorized (i) to interpret the Plan and
decide any matters arising thereunder, and (ii) to adopt such rules,
regulations and procedures, not inconsistent with the provisions of the Plan,
as it may deem advisable to carry out the purpose of this Plan.

 

5.03.                Finality. 
The interpretation and construction by the Committee of any provision of
the Plan, any Option granted hereunder or any agreement evidencing any such
Option shall be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties.

 

5.04.                Voting by Committee Members. 
Only members of the Committee shall vote on any matter affecting the
administration of the Plan or the granting of Options under the Plan.

 

5.05.                Expenses. 
All expenses and liabilities incurred by the Committee in the
administration of the Plan shall be borne by the Company.  The Committee may employ attorneys,
consultants, accountants or other persons in connection with the administration
of the Plan.  The Company, and its
officers and directors, shall be entitled to rely upon the advice, opinions or
valuations of any such persons.  No
member of the Board of Directors or the Committee shall be liable for any
action, determination or interpretation taken or made in good faith with
respect to the Plan or any Option granted hereunder.

 

5.06.                Non-U.S. Participation. 
The Committee may adopt rules or procedures relating to the
operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific
requirements of local laws and procedures. 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee is
specifically authorized to adopt rules and procedures regarding handling
of payroll deductions, payment of interest, conversion of local currency,
payroll tax and withholding procedures which vary with local requirements.  With respect to any Participating Subsidiary
which employs Participants who reside outside of the United States, and
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Committee may in its sole
discretion amend or vary the terms of the Plan in order to conform such terms
with the requirements of local law or to meet the objectives and purpose of the
Plan, and the Committee may, where appropriate, establish one or more sub-plans
to reflect such amended or varied provisions which sub-plans may be designed to
be outside the scope of Code Section 423. 
The provisions of such sub-plans may take precedence over other
provisions of the Plan, with the exception of Section 4.01, but unless
otherwise superseded by the terms of such sub-plan, the provisions of the Plan
shall govern the operation of such sub-plan.

 

5.07                 Changing of Percentage.  
The percentage (i.e. 85%) provided for within Subsections 7.02(iii) and
7.03 herein may be changed by and at the sole discretion of the Committee,
without further approval of the Company’s Stockholders, to any whole percentage
that is not less than 85% and not greater than 100%; provided, however, that
the Committee shall provide all Participants with written notice of any such
change in advance of the Participation Period in which such change is to first
take effect.

 

Section 6.  Payroll Deductions.

 

6.01.                Amount of Deduction. 
At the time a Participant files his or her enrollment form authorizing
payroll deductions pursuant to Section 3.03, he or she shall elect to have
deductions made from his or her Base Pay on each payday during the time he or
she is a Participant in the Offering.

 

6.02.                Participant’s Account; No
Interest.  All payroll deductions made for a Participant
shall be credited to his or her account under the Plan.  A Participant may not make any separate cash
payment into such account.  No interest
shall accrue on amounts credited to a Participant’s account under the Plan,
regardless of whether or not the funds in such account are ultimately used to
acquire shares of Common Stock, unless required under local law.

 

6.03.                Changes in Payroll Deductions. 
A Participant may change the rate of payroll deductions, effective for
the next Participation Period, by filing a new enrollment form with the
Committee at any time prior to the first day of the Participation Period for
which such change is to be effective.  A
Participant may also discontinue his or her participation in the Plan by
notifying the Committee in accordance with the procedures established by the
Committee for such purpose.

 

6.04.                Use of Funds. 
All payroll deductions received or held by the Company under the Plan
may be used by the Company for any corporate purpose, and the Company shall not
be obligated to segregate such payroll deductions unless required under local
law.

 

 

Section 7.  Grant of Option.

 

7.01.                Terms and Conditions. 
A description of the terms and conditions of the Plan shall be made
available to Participants in such form and manner as the Committee shall
approve.

 

7.02.                Number of Option Shares. 
On the first business day of each Participation Period during the term
of the Plan, each Participant shall be deemed to have been granted an Option,
subject to the limitations of Section 3.02, to purchase a maximum number
of shares of Common Stock during the Participation Period equal to the number
obtained by multiplying (i) the percentage of the Employee’s Base Pay for
that Participation Period which he or she has elected to have withheld pursuant
to Section 6.01 by (ii) the Employee’s Base Pay for that
Participation Period and dividing the resulting product by (iii) 85% of
the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock of the Company  on the last business day of that
Participation Period provided, however, that in no event shall the total number
of shares of Common Stock for which Options are granted exceed the number of
shares set forth in Section 4.01. 
If the total number of shares of Common Stock for which Options would
have been granted to Participants pursuant to the preceding sentence would have
exceeded the number of shares set forth in Section 4.01 (absent the
proviso in the preceding sentence), the Committee shall make a pro rata
allocation of the shares of Common Stock available for grant to Participants’
Options in such manner as it shall determine, in its sole discretion, to be
reasonably practicable, uniform and equitable.

 

7.03.                Option Price. 
The Option price per share of the Common Stock subject to an Option
shall be 85% of the Fair Market Value of one share of Common Stock on the last
business day of the applicable Participation Period.

 

7.04.                Interest in Option Stock.  A Participant shall have no interest in shares of
Common Stock covered by his or her Option until such Option has been exercised.

 

7.05.                Transferability. 
Neither payroll deductions credited to a Participant’s account nor
Options granted to a Participant shall be transferable other than by will or the
laws of descent and distribution and, during a Participant’s lifetime, an
Option shall be exercisable only by the Participant.

 

7.06.                Tax Withholding.  In the event that the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company is required to withhold any Federal, state, local or foreign taxes in
respect of any compensation income realized by the Participant as a result of
any “disqualifying disposition” of any shares of Common Stock acquired upon
exercise of an Option granted hereunder, the Company or such Subsidiary of the
Company shall deduct from any payments of any kind otherwise due to such
Participant the aggregate amount of such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes
required to be so withheld or, if such payments are insufficient to satisfy
such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes, such Participant will be required
to pay to the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company, or make other
arrangements satisfactory to the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company
regarding payment to the Company or such Subsidiary of the Company of, the
aggregate amount of any such taxes.  All
matters with respect to the total amount of taxes to be withheld in respect of
any such compensation income shall be determined by the Committee in its sole
discretion.  Subject to approval by the
Committee, a Participant may elect to have such tax withholding obligation
satisfied, in whole or in part, by (i) authorizing the Company to withhold
from shares of Common Stock to be acquired upon exercise of an Option, a number
of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date
the withholding is effected) that would satisfy the withholding amount due, or (ii) transferring
to the Company shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant with an
aggregate Fair Market Value (as of the date the withholding is effected) that
would satisfy the withholding amount due.

 

Section 8.  Exercise of Options.

 

8.01.                Automatic Exercise. 
Unless a Participant gives written notice to the Company of withdrawal
pursuant to Section 9.01, his or her Option to acquire Common Stock with
payroll deductions credited to his or her account for any Participation Period
will be deemed to have been exercised automatically on the last business day of
the applicable Participation Period for the purchase of the number of full
shares of Common Stock which the accumulated payroll deductions credited to his
or her account at that time will purchase at the applicable Option price (but
not in excess of the number of shares of Common Stock for which Options 

 

 

have been granted
to the Employee pursuant to Section 7.02), and any excess credited to his
or her account at that time will be carried forward to the next Participation
Period.

 

8.02.                Fractional Shares. 
Fractional shares will not be issued under the Plan and any accumulated
payroll deductions which would have been used to purchase fractional shares
will be carried over to the next following Participation Period.

 

8.03.                Delivery of Stock. 
As soon as reasonably practicable after each Participation Period, the
Company will deliver to the Participant’s account with the Company’s designated
broker, in such Participant’s name, the shares of Common Stock purchased upon
exercise of such Participant’s Option. 
It is a condition of participation in the Plan that each Participant
maintain an account with the broker designated by the Company.  The Company reserves the right to change its
designated broker from time to time in its sole discretion.

 

Section 9.  Withdrawal.

 

9.01.                In General.  A Participant may withdraw payroll deductions credited
to his or her account for a Participation Period under the Plan at any time
prior to the last business day of such Participation Period by giving written
notice to the Committee.  As soon as
reasonably practicable after receipt by the Committee of his or her notice of
withdrawal, the payroll deductions credited to the Participant’s account for
such Participation Period will be paid to him or her without interest (except
to the extent required by local law), and no further payroll deductions will be
made from his or her Base Pay for such Participation Period.

 

9.02.                Cessation of Employee Status. 
In the event a Participant shall cease to be an Employee during a
Participation Period for any reason, other than as a result of his or her
death, the payroll deductions credited to his or her account for such
Participation Period will be returned to him or her without interest (except to
the extent required by local law) as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

 

9.03.                Termination Due to Death. 
In the event a Participant shall cease to be an Employee during a
Participation Period by reason of his or her death, his or her legal
representative shall have the right to elect, by written notice to the Committee
prior to the last business day of the Participation Period:

 

(a)                   to withdraw all of the payroll deductions credited to
the Participant’s account under the Plan for such Participation Period without
interest (except to the extent required by local law), or

 

(b)                   to exercise the Participant’s Option for such
Participation Period with any excess in the Participant’s account after
exercise of the Option to be returned to the Participant’s legal
representative.

 

In the event that
no such written notice of election is duly and timely received by the
Committee, the Participant’s legal representative shall automatically be deemed
to have elected, pursuant to clause (b) above, to exercise the Participant’s
Option.

 

Section 10.  Adjustments.

 

10.01.              Changes In Capitalization. 
In the event that the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock
shall be increased or decreased or changed into or exchanged for a different
number or kind of shares of stock or other securities of the Company or of
another corporation, effected without the receipt of consideration by the
Company, through reorganization, merger or consolidation, recapitalization,
reclassification, stock split, reverse stock split, split-up, combination or
exchange of shares or declaration of any dividends payable in Common Stock, the
Board of Directors shall appropriately adjust, subject to any required action
by the stockholders of the Company, (i) the number of shares of Common
Stock (and the Option price per share) subject to the unexercised portion of
any outstanding Option (to the nearest possible full share), provided, however,
that the limitations of Section 424 of the Code shall apply with respect
to such adjustments and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock for
which Options may be granted under the Plan, as set forth in Section 4.01
hereof, and such adjustments shall be final, conclusive and binding for all
purposes of the Plan.  Except as
expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any
class shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with
respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.

 

 

10.02.              Acquisition, Merger, Sale of Assets, Dissolution or Liquidation.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, in the event of (i) any offer or proposal to holders of the
Company’s Common Stock relating to the acquisition of their shares, including,
without limitation, through purchase, merger or otherwise, or (ii) any
transaction generally relating to the acquisition of substantially all of the
assets or business of the Company, or (iii) the dissolution or liquidation
of the Company, the Board of Directors may make such adjustment as it deems
equitable in respect of outstanding Options (and in respect of the shares of
Common Stock for which Options may be granted under the Plan), including,
without limitation, the revision, cancellation, or termination of any
outstanding Options, or the change, conversion or exchange of the shares of the
Company’s Common Stock under outstanding Options (and of the shares of the
Company’s Common Stock for which Options may be granted under the Plan) into or
for securities or other property of another corporation.  Any such adjustments by the Board of
Directors shall be final, conclusive and binding for all purposes of the Plan.

 

Section 11.  Effect of the Plan on
Employment Relationship. 
Neither this Plan nor any Option granted hereunder to a Participant
shall be construed as conferring upon such Participant any right to continue in
the employ of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company as the case may be,
or limit in any respect the right of the Company or any Subsidiary of the
Company to terminate such Participant’s employment with the Company or any
Subsidiary of the Company, as the case may be, at any time.

 

Section 12.  Amendment of the
Plan.  The Board of Directors
may amend the Plan from time to time as it deems desirable in its sole
discretion without approval of the stockholders of the Company, except to the
extent stockholder approval is required by Rule 16b-3 of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, applicable NASDAQ National Market or stock
exchange rules, applicable provisions of the Code, or other applicable laws or
regulations.

 

Section 13.  Termination of the
Plan.  The Board of Directors
may terminate the Plan at any time in its sole discretion. No Option may be
granted hereunder after termination of the Plan. The termination or amendment
of the Plan shall not alter or impair any rights or obligations under any
Option theretofore granted under the Plan in any material adverse way without
the consent of the affected Participant.

 

Section 14.  Governing Law.   The Plan and any and all Option agreements
executed in connection with the Plan shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict
of laws principles.

 

Section 15.  No Strict Construction.   No rule of strict construction shall be
applied against the Company, the Committee, or any other person in the
interpretation of any of the terms of the Plan, any Option agreement, any
Option granted under the Plan, or any rule, regulation or procedure established
by the Committee.

 

Section 16.  Successors.   This Plan is binding on and will inure to
the benefit of any successor to the Company, whether by way of merger,
consolidation, purchase, or otherwise.

 

Section 17.  Severability.   If any provision of the Plan or an Option
agreement shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, such illegality or
invalidity shall not affect the remaining provisions of the Plan or such
agreement, and the Plan and such agreement shall each be construed and enforced
as if the invalid provisions had never been set forth therein.

 

Section 18.  Plan Provisions Control.   Except as otherwise provided in Section 5.06,
the terms of the Plan govern all Options granted under the Plan, and in no
event will any Option be granted under the Plan which is contrary to any of the
provisions of the Plan.  In the event any
provision of any Option granted under the Plan shall conflict with any term in
the Plan as constituted on the grant date of such Option, the term in the Plan
as constituted on the grant date of such Option shall control except as
otherwise provided in Section 5.06.

 

Section 19.  Headings.   The headings used in the Plan are for
convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Plan, and shall not be deemed
to limit, characterize, or affect in any way any provisions of the Plan, and
all provisions of the Plan shall be construed as if no captions had been used
in the Plan.

 

 

Section 20.  Effective Date of the Plan.  The Plan shall be submitted to the
stockholders of the Company for approval and ratification at the next regular
or special meeting thereof to be held after January 1, 1999.  Unless at such meeting the Plan is approved
and ratified by the stockholders of the Company, in the manner provided by the
Company’s By-Laws, then and in such event, the Plan shall become null and void
and of no further force and effect.  The
Plan, as amended by the stockholders on July 24, 2007, shall be effective
as of May 1, 2008 and shall continue in effect until April 30, 2018
unless sooner terminated under Section 13.
