Officers’ Certificate of the Company setting forth the terms of the series.

 

Securities of any particular series may be issued at various times,
with different dates on which the principal or any installment of principal is
payable, with different rates of interest, if any, or different methods by
which rates of interest may be determined, with different dates on which such
interest may be payable and with different redemption dates. Unless otherwise
provided, a series may be reopened for issuances of additional Securities of
such series.

 

SECTION 2.02                    Form of
Securities and Trustee’s Certificate.

 

The Securities of any series and the Trustee’s certificate of
authentication to be borne by such Securities shall be substantially of the
tenor and purport as set forth in one or more indentures supplemental hereto or
as provided in a Board Resolution of the Company and as set forth in an
Officers’ Certificate of the Company and may have such letters, numbers or
other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements
printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem appropriate
and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Indenture, or as may be
required to comply with any law or with any rule or regulation made
pursuant thereto or with any rule or regulation of any stock exchange on
which Securities of that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

 

SECTION 2.03                    Denominations;
Provisions for Payment.

 

The Securities shall be issuable as registered Securities and in the
denominations of one thousand U.S. dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple
thereof, subject to Section 2.01(11). The Securities of a particular
series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at the rate specified with
respect to that series. The principal of and the interest on the Securities of
any series, as well as any premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior
to maturity, shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of
America that at the time is legal tender for public and private debt, at the
office or agency of the Company maintained for that purpose in the Borough of
Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each Security shall be dated the
date of its authentication. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year composed of twelve 30-day months.

 

The interest installment on any Security that is payable, and is
punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for
Securities of that series shall be paid to the Person in whose name said
Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of
business on the regular record date for such interest installment. In the event
that any Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for
redemption and the redemption date

 

7

 

is subsequent to a regular record date with respect to
any Interest Payment Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date, interest on
such Security will be paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as
provided in Section 3.03.

 

Any interest on any Security that is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date for Securities of the
same 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 shall be paid by the
Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause (2) below:

 

(1)                        The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on Securities to the Persons
in whose names such Securities (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 such 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
not be more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the
notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company
of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company,
shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the
special record date therefor to be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each
Securityholder at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as
hereinafter defined), 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 mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest
shall be paid to the Persons in whose names such Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record date
and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following clause (2).

 

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

 

Unless otherwise set forth in a Board Resolution of the Company or one or
more indentures supplemental hereto establishing the terms of any series of
Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof, the term “regular record date”
as used in this Section with respect to a series of Securities with
respect to any Interest Payment Date for such series shall mean either the
fifteenth day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an Interest
Payment Date

 

8

 

established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of a month,
or the last day of the month immediately preceding the month in which an
Interest Payment Date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof shall occur, if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a
month, whether or not such date is a Business Day.

 

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

 

SECTION 2.04                    Execution
and Authentications.

 

The Securities shall be signed on behalf of the Company by two of its
officers, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries. Signatures may be in the form of a manual or facsimile
signature. The Company may use the facsimile signature of any Person who shall
have been an officer thereof, notwithstanding the fact that at the time the
Securities shall be authenticated and delivered or disposed of such Person
shall have ceased to be such officer of the Company. The seal of the Company
may be in the form of a facsimile of such seal and may be impressed, affixed,
imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities. The Securities may contain
such notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or
usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication by the Trustee.

 

A Security shall not be valid until authenticated manually by an
authorized signatory of the Trustee, or by an Authenticating Agent. Such
signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security so authenticated has
been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture.

 

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

 

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 7.01) shall
be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the form
and terms thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions of
this Indenture.

 

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 that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 2.05                    Registration

(a)                                  Securities
of any series may be exchanged upon presentation thereof at the office or
agency of the Company designated for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan,
the City

 

9

 

and State of New York, for other Securities of such
series of authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal amount,
upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge
in relation thereto, all as provided in this Section. In respect of any
Securities so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee
shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange therefor
the Security or Securities of the same series that the Securityholder making
the exchange shall be entitled to receive, bearing numbers not contemporaneously
outstanding.

 

(b)                                 The
Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its office or agency designated for
such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, or
such other location designated by the Company a register or registers (herein
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the Securities and
the transfers of Securities as in this Article provided and which at all
reasonable times shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for
the purpose of registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein
provided shall be appointed as authorized by Board Resolution (the “Security
Registrar”).

 

Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or agency of
the Company designated for such purpose, the Company shall execute, the Trustee
shall authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same series as
the Security presented for a like aggregate principal amount.

 

All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or registration of
transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be accompanied (if so required by
the Company or the Security Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments
of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar,
duly executed by the registered holder or by such holder’s duly authorized
attorney in writing.

 

(c)                                  No
service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of
Securities, or issue of new Securities in case of partial redemption of any
series, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than exchanges
pursuant to Section 2.06, the second paragraph of Section 3.03 and Section 9.04
not involving any transfer.

 

(d)                                 The
Company shall not be required (i) to issue, exchange or register the
transfer of any Securities during a period beginning at the opening of business
15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than
all the Outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close of
business on the day of such mailing, nor (ii) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Securities of any series or portions thereof called for
redemption. The provisions of this Section 2.05 are, with respect to any
Global Security, subject to Section 2.11 hereof.

 

SECTION 2.06                    Temporary
Securities.

 

Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the
Company may execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary
Securities (printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized
denomination. Such temporary Securities shall be substantially in

 

10

 

the form of the definitive Securities in lieu of which
they are issued, but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be
appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company.
Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the Company and be
authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the
same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities of such series.
Without unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish definitive
Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Securities of such
series may be surrendered in exchange therefor (without charge to the holders),
at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in the
Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall
authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange for such
temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive
Securities of such series, unless the Company advises the Trustee to the effect
that definitive Securities need not be executed and furnished until further
notice from the Company. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of such
series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

 

SECTION 2.07                    Mutilated,
Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities.

 

In case any temporary or definitive Security shall become mutilated or
be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company (subject to the next succeeding
sentence) shall execute, and upon the Company’s request the Trustee (subject as
aforesaid) shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series,
bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and
substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for
the Security so destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a
substituted Security shall furnish to the Company and the Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in
every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to
the Company and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of the applicant’s Security and of the ownership thereof. The
Trustee may authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same
upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the Company. Upon
the issuance of any substituted Security, the Company may require the payment
of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and
expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security that has
matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or
stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a substitute Security, pay or
authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case
of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the
Company and the Trustee such security or indemnity as they may require to save
them harmless, and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the
satisfaction of the Company and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft
of such Security and of the ownership thereof.

 

Every replacement Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section shall
constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company whether or not
the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at any time,
or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this
Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the
same series duly issued hereunder. All Securities shall be held and owned upon
the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect
to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities,
and shall preclude (to

 

11

 

the extent lawful) any and all other rights or
remedies, notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to
the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable
instruments or other securities without their surrender.

 

SECTION 2.08                    Cancellation.

 

All Securities surrendered for the purpose of payment, redemption,
exchange or registration of transfer shall, if surrendered to the Company or any
paying agent, be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered
to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be issued in
lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted by any of the provisions
of this Indenture. On request of the Company at the time of such surrender, the
Trustee shall deliver to the Company canceled Securities held by the Trustee.
In the absence of such request the Trustee may dispose of canceled Securities
in accordance with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of
disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise acquire any of the
Securities, however, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and
until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

 

SECTION 2.09                    Benefits
of Indenture.

 

Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give or be construed to give to any Person, other than the parties hereto
and the holders of the Securities (and, with respect to the provisions of Article Fourteen,
the holders of Senior Indebtedness) any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or under any covenant, condition
or provision herein contained; all such covenants, conditions and provisions
being for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the
Securities (and, with respect to the provisions of Article Fourteen, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness).

 

SECTION 2.10                    Authenticating
Agent.

 

So long as any of the Securities of any series remain Outstanding there
may be an Authenticating Agent for any or all such series of Securities which
the Trustee shall have the right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be
authorized to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such
series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption thereof, 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. All references in this Indenture to the authentication of
Securities by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an
Authenticating Agent for such series. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall be a corporation that has a combined
capital and surplus, as most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient
under the laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which it is
doing business to conduct a trust business, and that is otherwise authorized
under such laws to conduct such business and is subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authorities. If at any time any Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall
resign immediately.

 

12

 

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving written
notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any
time (and upon request by the Company shall) terminate the agency of any
Authenticating Agent by giving written notice of termination to such
Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon resignation, termination or
cessation of eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint
an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the Company. Any
successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder,
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

 

SECTION 2.11                    Global
Securities.

 

(a)               If the Company
shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a
particular series are to be issued as a Global Security, then the Company shall
execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with Section 2.04,
authenticate and deliver, a Global Security that (i) shall represent, and
shall be denominated in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of,
all of the Outstanding Securities of such series, (ii) shall be registered
in the name of the Depositary or its nominee, (iii) shall be delivered by
the Trustee to the Depositary or pursuant to the Depositary’s instruction and (iv) shall
bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Except as otherwise
provided in Section 2.11 of the Indenture, this Security may be
transferred, in whole but not in part, only to another nominee of the
Depositary or to a successor Depositary or to a nominee of such successor
Depositary.”

 

(b)              Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 2.05, the Global Security of a series may be
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 2.05,
only to another nominee of the Depositary for such series, or to a successor
Depositary for such series selected or approved by the Company or to a nominee
of such successor Depositary.

 

(c)               If at any time the
Depositary for a series of the Securities notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such series or if at any time
the Depositary for such series shall no longer be registered or in good
standing under the Exchange Act, or other applicable statute or regulation, and
a successor Depositary for such series is not appointed by the Company within
90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware of such
condition, as the case may be, this Section 2.11 shall no longer be
applicable to the Securities of such series and the Company will execute, and
subject to Section 2.05, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver the
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such
Global Security. In addition, the Company may at any time determine that the
Securities of any series shall no longer be represented by a Global Security
and that the provisions of this Section 2.11 shall no longer apply to the
Securities of such series. In such event the Company will execute and subject
to Section 2.05, the Trustee, upon receipt of an Officers’ Certificate
evidencing such determination by the Company, will authenticate and deliver the
Securities of such series in definitive registered form without coupons, in
authorized denominations, and in an aggregate principal amount equal to the
principal amount of the Global Security of such series in exchange for such
Global Security. Upon the exchange of the Global Security for such Securities
in definitive registered form without coupons, in authorized denominations, the
Global Security shall be 

 

13

 

canceled by the Trustee. Such Securities in definitive
registered form issued in exchange for the Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.11(c) shall
be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the
Depositary, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants
or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such
Securities to the Depositary for delivery to the Persons in whose names such
Securities are so registered.

 

ARTICLE III.

 

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES
AND

SINKING FUND PROVISIONS

 

SECTION 3.01                    Redemption.

 

The Company may redeem the Securities of any series issued hereunder on
and after the dates and in accordance with the terms established for such
series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof.

 

SECTION 3.02                    Notice
of Redemption.

 

(a)                                  In
case the Company shall desire to exercise such right to redeem all or, as the
case may be, a portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with the
right reserved so to do, the Company shall, or shall cause the Trustee to, give
notice of such redemption to holders of the Securities of such series to be
redeemed by mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption
not less than 30 days and not more than 90 days before the date fixed for
redemption of that series to such holders at their last addresses as they shall
appear upon the Security Register unless a shorter period is specified in the
Securities to be redeemed. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein
provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not
the registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly to give
such notice to the holder of any Security of any series designated for
redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in the notice, shall not affect
the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Securities of
such series or any other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the
terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish the Trustee with an Officers’ Certificate evidencing compliance with
any such restriction.

 

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed for
redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of that series are to
be redeemed, and shall state that payment of the redemption price of such
Securities to be redeemed will be made at the office or agency of the Company
in the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, upon presentation
and surrender of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for
redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from and after said
date interest will cease to accrue and that the redemption is for a sinking
fund, if such is the case. If less than all the Securities of a series are to
be redeemed, the notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be
redeemed in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be so
redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only, the notice that
relates to such Security shall state the portion of the principal amount
thereof to be redeemed, and shall state that on and after

 

14

 

the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security,
a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the
unredeemed portion thereof will be issued.

 

(b)                                 If
less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Company shall
give the Trustee at least 35 days’ notice in advance of the date fixed for
redemption as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to
be redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in such other
manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its discretion and that may
provide for the selection of a portion or portions (equal to one thousand U.S.
dollars ($1,000) or any integral multiple thereof) of the principal amount of
such Securities of a denomination larger than $1,000, the Securities to be
redeemed and shall thereafter promptly notify the Company in writing of the
numbers of the Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part.

 

The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by delivery of
instructions signed on its behalf by two of its officers, instruct the Trustee
or any paying agent to call all or any part of the Securities of a particular
series for redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set forth
in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the Company or its own name
as the Trustee or such paying agent may deem advisable. In any case in which
notice of redemption is to be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent,
the Company shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain
with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such Security
Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable copies or extracts
therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or such paying agent to give any
notice by mail that may be required under the provisions of this Section.

 

SECTION 3.03                    Payment
Upon Redemption.

 

(a)                                  If
the giving of notice of redemption shall have been completed as above provided,
the Securities or portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified
in such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the place stated
in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest
accrued to the date fixed for redemption and interest on such Securities or
portions of Securities shall cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for
redemption, unless the Company shall default in the payment of such redemption
price and accrued interest with respect to any such Security or portion
thereof. On presentation and surrender of such Securities on or after the date
fixed for redemption at the place of payment specified in the notice, said
Securities shall be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for
such series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for
redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an interest payment date,
the interest installment payable on such date shall be payable to the
registered holder at the close of business on the applicable record date
pursuant to Section 2.03).

 

(b)                                 Upon
presentation of any Security of such series that is to be redeemed in part
only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and the
office or agency where the Security is presented shall deliver to the holder
thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security of the same series of
authorized denominations in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of
the Security so presented.

 

15

 

SECTION 3.04                    Sinking
Fund.

 

The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06 shall be applicable to
any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series, except as
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such
series.

 

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a “mandatory sinking
fund payment,” and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an “optional
sinking fund payment”. If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to
the redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.

 

SECTION 3.05                    Satisfaction
of Sinking Fund Payments with Securities.

 

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

 

SECTION 3.06                    Redemption
of Securities for Sinking Fund.

 

Not less than 35 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers’
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of the series, the portion thereof, if any,
that is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of that series
pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis for such credit and will, together
with such Officers’ Certificate, deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment date the
Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of
the redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the
Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such notice having been
duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and
in the manner stated in Section 3.03.

CERTAIN COVENANTS

 

SECTION 4.01                    Payment
of Principal, Premium and Interest.

 

The Company will duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities of that
series at the time and place and in the manner provided herein and established
with respect to such Securities.

 

SECTION 4.02                    Maintenance
of Office or Agency.

 

So long as any series of the Securities remain Outstanding, the Company
agrees to maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, the City
and State of New York, with respect to each such series and at such other
location or locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02,
where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment, (ii) Securities
of that series may be presented as hereinabove authorized for registration of
transfer and exchange, and (iii) notices and demands to or upon the
Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture may be
given or served, such designation to continue with respect to such office or
agency until the Company shall, by written notice signed by one of its officers
and delivered to the trustee, designate some other office or agency for such
purposes or any of them. 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, 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, notices and
demands.

 

SECTION 4.03                    Paying
Agents.

 

(a)                                  If
the Company shall appoint one or more paying agents for all or any series of
the Securities, other than the Trustee, the Company will cause each such paying
agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent
shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section:

 

(1)                                  that
it will hold all sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal
of (and premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series (whether
such sums have been paid to it by the Company or by any other obligor of such
Securities) in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto;

 

(2)                                  that
it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Company (or by any other
obligor of such Securities) to make any payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on the Securities of that series when the same
shall be due and payable;

 

(3)                                  that
it will, at any time during the continuance of any failure referred to in the
preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon the written request of the Trustee,
forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent;
and

 

17

 

(4)                                  that
it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set forth in this
Indenture.

 

(b)                                 If
the Company shall act as its own paying agent with respect to any series of the
Securities, it will on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum
sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming
due on Securities of that series until such sums shall be paid to such Persons
or otherwise disposed of as herein provided and will promptly notify the
Trustee of such action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such
Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have one or more
paying agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of
the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any Securities of that
series, deposit with the paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (an
premium, if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for
the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and
(unless such paying agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of this action or failure so to act.

 

(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything in this Section to the contrary, (i) the agreement to hold
sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,
and (ii) 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
direct any paying agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the
Company or such paying agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the same
terms and conditions as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such paying agent; and, upon such payment by any paying agent to the Trustee,
such paying agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.

 

SECTION 4.04                    Appointment
to Fill Vacancy in Office of Trustee.

 

The Company, whenever necessary to avoid or fill a vacancy in the
office of Trustee, will appoint, in the manner provided in Section 7.10, a
Trustee, so that there shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder.

 

SECTION 4.05                    Compliance
with Consolidation Provisions.

 

The Company will not, while any of the Securities remain Outstanding,
consolidate with, or merge into, or merge into itself, or sell or convey all or
substantially all of its property to any other company unless the provisions of
Article Ten hereof are complied with.

list, in such form as the may reasonably require, of the names and addresses of
the holders of each series of Securities as of such regular

shall not differ in any respect from the most recent list furnished to the
Trustee by the Company and (b) at such other times as the Trustee may
request in writing within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such
request, a list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 15 days

REMEDIES OF THE TRUSTEE
AND

SECURITYHOLDERS ON EVENT OF DEFAULT

 

SECTION 6.01                    Events
of Default.

 

(a)                                  Whenever
used herein with respect to Securities of a particular series, “Event of
Default” means any one or more of the following events that has occurred and is
continuing:

 

(1)                                  the
Company defaults in the payment of any installment of interest upon any of the
Securities of that series, as and when the same shall become due and payable,
and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days; provided, however,
that a valid extension of an interest payment period by the Company in
accordance with the terms of any indenture supplemental hereto, shall not
constitute a default in the payment of interest for this purpose;

 

(2)                                  the
Company defaults in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due and
payable whether at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise, or
in any payment required by any sinking or analogous fund established with
respect to that series; provided, however, that a valid extension of the
maturity of such Securities in accordance with the terms of any indenture
supplemental hereto shall not constitute a default in the payment of principal
or premium, if any;

 

(3)                                  the
Company fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants or agreements
with respect to that series contained in this Indenture or otherwise
established with respect to that series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof (other than a covenant or agreement that has been expressly included in
this Indenture solely for the benefit of one or more series of Securities other
than such series) for a period of 90 days 

 

20

 

after the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied and
stating that such notice is a “Notice of Default” hereunder, shall have been
given to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail, or to the
Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of
the Securities of that series at the time Outstanding;

 

(4)                                  the
Company, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law, (i) commences
a voluntary case, (ii) consents to the entry of an order for relief
against it in an involuntary case, (iii) consents to the appointment of a
Custodian of it or for all or substantially all of its property or (iv) makes
a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or

 

(5)                                  a
court of competent jurisdiction enters an order under any Bankruptcy Law that (i) is
for relief against the Company in an involuntary case, (ii) appoints a
Custodian of the Company for all or substantially all of their respective
property, or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Company, and the order or
decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 days.

 

(b)                                 In
each and every such case, unless the principal of all the Securities of that
series shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company
(and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may declare the principal
of all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately, and
upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due
and payable, notwithstanding anything contained in this Indenture or in the
Securities of that series or established with respect to that series pursuant
to Section 2.01 to the contrary.

 

(c)                                  At
any time after the principal of the Securities of that series shall have been
so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment
of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided,
the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
that series then Outstanding hereunder, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if: (i) the
Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all
matured installments of interest upon all the Securities of that series and the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any and all Securities of that series
that shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest upon
such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that such payment is
enforceable under applicable law, upon overdue installments of interest, at the
rate per annum expressed in the Securities of that series to the date of such
payment or deposit) and the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06,
and (ii) any and all Events of Default under the Indenture with respect to
such series, other than the nonpayment of principal on Securities of that
series that shall not have become due by their terms, shall have been remedied
or waived as provided in Section 6.06.

 

No such rescission and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any
subsequent default or impair any right consequent thereon.

 

21

 

(d)                                 In
case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right with respect to
Securities of that series under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have
been discontinued or abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for
any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then
and in every such case the Company, and the Trustee shall be restored
respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no
such proceedings had been taken.

 

SECTION 6.02                    Collection
of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The
Company covenants that (1) in case it shall default in the payment of any
installment of interest on any of the Securities of a series, or any payment
required by any sinking or analogous fund established with respect to that
series as and when the same shall have become due and payable, and such default
shall have continued for a period of 90 Business Days, or (2) in case it
shall default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any
of the Securities of a series when the same shall have become due and payable,
whether upon maturity of the Securities of a series or upon redemption or upon
declaration or otherwise, then, upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will
pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series,
the whole amount that then shall have been become due and payable on all such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, or both, as the
case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and
(to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable
law) upon overdue installments of interest at the rate per annum expressed in
the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, and the
amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06.

 

(b)                                 If
the Company shall fail to pay such amounts forthwith upon such demand, the
Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled
and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action
or proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or
final decree against the Company or other obligor upon the Securities of that
series and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Company or other obligor upon the
Securities of that series, wherever situated.

 

(c)                                  In
case of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization,
readjustment, arrangement, composition or judicial proceedings affected the
Company, or its creditors or property, the Trustee shall have power to
intervene in such proceedings and take any action therein that may be permitted
by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise provided by law) be entitled
to file such proofs of claim and other papers and documents as may be necessary
or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of
Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and payable by the
Company under the Indenture at the date of institution of such proceedings and
for any additional amount that may become due and payable by the Company after
such date, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or
deliverable on any such claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction
of the amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any receiver,
assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by
each of the holders of Securities 

 

22

 

of such series to make such payments to the Trustee,
and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it under
Section 7.06.

 

(d)                                 All
rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of
the terms established with respect to Securities of that series, may be
enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of such Securities, or
the production thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and
any such suit or 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 payment to the Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06,
be for the ratable benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series.

 

In case of an Event of Default hereunder, the Trustee may in its
discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this
Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in
equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement contained in the Indenture or in aid of the exercise
of any power granted in this Indenture, or to enforce any other legal or
equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

 

Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Securityholder any
plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the
Securities of that series or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize
the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such
proceeding.

 

SECTION 6.03                    Application
of Moneys Collected.

 

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

 

FIRST: To the
payment of costs and expenses of collection and of all amounts payable to the
Trustee under Section 7.06;

 

SECOND: To the
payment of all Senior Indebtedness of the Company if and to the extent required
by Article Fourteen; and

 

THIRD: To the
payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon Securities of such series for

benefit of which such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or
priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, respectively.

 

23

 

SECTION 6.04                    Limitation
on Suits.

 

No holder of any Security of any series shall have any right by virtue
or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any suit, action
or proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this
Indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless (i) such holder previously shall have given to
the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance
thereof with respect to the Securities of such series specifying such Event of
Default, as hereinbefore provided; (ii) the holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit
or proceeding in its own name as trustee hereunder; (iii) such holder or
holders shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may
require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or
thereby; and (iv) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such
action, suit or proceeding and (v) during such 60 day period, the holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give
the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

 

Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, any other
provisions of this Indenture, the right of any holder of any Security to
receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such
Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective due dates expressed
in such Security (or in the case of redemption, on the redemption date), or to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such
respective dates or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without
the consent of such holder and by accepting a Security hereunder it is
expressly understood, intended and covenanted by the taker and holder of every
Security of such series with every other such taker and holder and the Trustee,
that no one or more holders of Securities of such series shall have any right
in any manner whatsoever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any
other of such Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all holders of Securities of such series. For the protection and enforcement of
the provisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee
shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

 

SECTION 6.05                    Rights
and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

 

(a)                                  Except
as otherwise provided in Section 2.07, all powers and remedies given by
this Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other powers
and remedies available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by
judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of
the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture or otherwise
established with respect to such Securities.

 

(b)                                 No
delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of any of the Securities to
exercise any right or power accruing upon any Event of Default occurring and
continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be
construed to be a waiver of any such default or on acquiescence therein; and,
subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power 

 

24

 

and remedy given by this Article or by law to the
Trustee or the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

 

SECTION 6.06                    Control
by Securityholders.

 

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of any series at the time Outstanding, determined in accordance with
Section 8.04, 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 such
series; provided, however, that such direction shall not be in conflict with
any rule of law or with this Indenture or be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of holders of Securities of any other series at the time Outstanding
determined in accordance with Section 8.04. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,
the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the
Trustee, determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the Trustee in
personal liability. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of
the Securities of any series at the time Outstanding affected thereby,
determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may on behalf of the holders
of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default in the
performance of any of the covenants contained herein or established pursuant to
Section 2.01 with respect to such series and its consequences, except a
default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on,
any of the Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due by
the terms of such Securities otherwise than by acceleration (unless such
default has been cured and a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of
interest and principal and any premium has been deposited with the Trustee (in
accordance with Section 6.01(c)). Upon any such waiver, the default
covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of this Indenture
and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of the Securities of such series
shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively;
but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair
any right consequent thereon.

 

SECTION 6.07                    Undertaking
to Pay Costs.

 

All parties to this Indenture agree, and each holder of any Securities
by such holder’s acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any
court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any
right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for
any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant
in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such
court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to
the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party
litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit
instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or
group of Securityholders, holding more than 10% in aggregate principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any
Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on or after the
respective due dates expressed in such Security or established pursuant to this
Indenture.

ARTICLE VII.

 

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

 

SECTION 7.01                    Certain
Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee.

 

(a)                                  The
Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of a series and after the curing of all Events of Default with
respect to the Securities of that series that may have occurred, shall
undertake to perform with respect to the Securities of such series such duties
and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no
implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee. In
case an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a series has
occurred (that has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise with
respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and powers vested in it
by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of his own affairs.

 

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

 

(1)                                  prior
to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of a
series and after the curing or waiving of all such Events of Default with
respect to that series that may have occurred:

 

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect
to the Securities of such series be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to the
Securities of such series except for the performance of such duties and
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied
covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee;
and

 

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

 

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

 

(3)                                  the
Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the holders of
not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series at
the time Outstanding 

 

26

 

relating to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to
the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under
this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series; and

 

(4)                                  None
of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial liability in
the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or
powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such
funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the terms of this
Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk is not reasonably assured to
it.

 

SECTION 7.02                    Certain
Rights of Trustee.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01:

 

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

 

(b)                                 Any
request, direction, order or demand of the Company mentioned herein shall be
sufficiently evidenced by a Board Resolution or an instrument signed in the
name of the Company, by the Chairman or any Vice President and by the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer thereof
(unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically prescribed herein);

 

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

 

(d)                                 The
Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers
vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the
Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or
indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities that may be incurred
therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve the
Trustee of the obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with
respect to a series of the Securities (that has not been cured or waived) to
exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

 

(e)                                  The
Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it
in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or
rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;

 

(f)                                    The
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or
documents, unless requested in 

 

27

 

writing so to do by the holders of not less than a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of the particular series
affected thereby (determined as provided in Section 8.04); provided,
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to
the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such costs, expenses or
liabilities as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the Trustee, shall
be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

 

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

 

SECTION 7.03                    Trustee
Not Responsible for Recitals or Issuance or Securities.

 

(a)                                  The
recitals contained herein and in the Securities shall be taken as the
statements of the Company, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the
correctness of the same.

 

(b)                                 The
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Indenture or of the Securities.

 

(c)                                  The
Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of
any of the Securities or of the proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or
application of any moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any
provision of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or
for the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent other
than the Trustee.

 

SECTION 7.04                    May Hold
Securities.

 

The Trustee or any paying agent or Security Registrar, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or
Security Registrar.

 

SECTION 7.05                    Moneys
Held in Trust.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05, all moneys received by
the Trustee shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust
for the purposes for which they were received, but 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 moneys received by it hereunder except such as it
may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

 

SECTION 7.06                    Compensation
and Reimbursement.

 

(a)                                  The
Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall be
entitled to, such reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust), as the Company, and the Trustee 

 

28

 

may from time to time agree in writing, for all
services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in
the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee, and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company will
pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not
regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as
may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also covenants to
indemnify the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees) for,
and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred
without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee and arising out of
or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including
the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in
the premises.

 

(b)                                 The
obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate and indemnify
the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and
advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional
indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon
all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds
held in trust for the benefit of the holders of particular Securities.

 

SECTION 7.07                    Reliance
on Officers’ Certificate.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 7.01, whenever in the
administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it
necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking
or suffering or omitting to take any action hereunder, such matter (unless
other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in
the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to
be conclusively proved and established by an Officers’ Certificate delivered to
the Trustee and such certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on
the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it under the provisions of this
Indenture upon the faith thereof.

 

SECTION 7.08                    Disqualification;
Conflicting Interests.

 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire any “conflicting interest” within
the meaning of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee
and the Company shall in all respects comply with the provisions of Section 310(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act.

 

SECTION 7.09                    Corporate
Trustee Required; Eligibility.

 

There shall at all times be a Trustee with respect to the Securities
issued hereunder which shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory
thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other Person
permitted to act as trustee by the Commission, authorized under such laws to
exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at
least 50 million U.S. dollars ($50,000,000), and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority.
If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or 

 

29

 

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 published. The Company may not, nor may any Person directly or
indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the
Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

 

SECTION 7.10                    Resignation
and Removal; Appointment of Successor.

 

(a)                                  The
Trustee or any successor hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with
respect to the Securities of one or more series by giving written notice
thereof to the Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first
class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as their names
and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with
respect to Securities of such series by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If
no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment
within 30 days after the mailing 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 Securities of such series, or any
Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or
Securities for at least six months may on behalf of himself and all others
similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper
and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee.

 

(b)                                 In
case at any time any one of the following shall occur:

 

(1)                                  the
Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of Section 7.08 after
written request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has been a
bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months; or

 

(2)                                  the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.09
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Company or by
any such Securityholder; or

 

(3)                                  the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent, or commence a voluntary bankruptcy proceeding, or a receiver of the
Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or consented to, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then,
in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
executed by order of the Board of Directors, one copy of which instrument shall
be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee,
or, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any
Securityholder who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for
at least six months may, on behalf of that holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court 

 

30

 

of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor
trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as it may deem
proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee.

 

(c)                                  The
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any
series at the time Outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee with respect
to such series by so notifying the Trustee and the Company and may appoint a
successor Trustee for such series with the consent of the Company.

 

(d)                                 Any
resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor trustee
with respect to the Securities of a series pursuant to any of the provisions of
this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

 

(e)                                  Any
successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section may be appointed with
respect to the Securities of one or more series or all of such series, and at any
time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any
particular series.

 

SECTION 7.11                    Acceptance
of Appointment By Successor.

 

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

 

(b)                                 In
case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the
Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the retiring
Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or
more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto wherein
each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee
relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or
desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the
retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series as to
which the retiring Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the
retiring Trustee, and (3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration
of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that
nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees
co-trustees of the same trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a
trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be responsible
for 

 

31

 

any act or failure to act on the part of any other
Trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee shall with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
such successor trustee relates have no further responsibility for the exercise
of rights and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations
vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, 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, to the extent contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the
property and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
trustee relates.

 

(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.

 

(e)                                  Upon
acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section,
the Company shall transmit notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder
by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names
and addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company fails to
transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be
transmitted at the expense of the Company.

 

SECTION 7.12                    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 the corporate trust business of the Trustee,
shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation
shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under
the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any
paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding. 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 7.13                    Preferential
Collection of Claims Against the Company.

 

The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) of the Trust
Indenture Act, excluding any creditor relationship described in Section 311(b) of
the Trust Indenture Act. A Trustee who has 

 

32

 

resigned or been removed shall be subject to Section 311(a) of
the Trust Indenture Act to the extent included therein.

 

ARTICLE VIII.

 

CONCERNING THE
SECURITYHOLDERS

 

SECTION 8.01                    Evidence
of Action by Securityholders.

 

Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the holders of a
majority or specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the
Securities of a particular series may take any action (including the making of
any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the
taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such
action the holders of such majority or specified percentage of that series have
joined therein may be evidenced by any instrument or any number of instruments
of similar tenor executed by such holders of Securities of that series in
Person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing.

 

If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any series any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action, the Company may, at its option, as evidenced by an Officers’
Certificate, fix in advance a record date for such series for the determination
of Securityholders entitled to give such request, demand, authorization,
direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall have
no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action may be given
before or after the record date, but only the Securityholders of record at the
close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders for
the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the requisite proportion
of Outstanding Securities of that series have authorized or agreed or consented
to such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action, and for that purpose the Outstanding Securities of that series
shall be computed as of the record date; provided, however, that no such
authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders on the record date
shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective pursuant to the
provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the record date.

 

SECTION 8.02                    Proof
of Execution by Securityholders.

 

Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, proof of the execution
of any instrument by a Securityholder (such proof will not require
notarization) or his agent or proxy and proof of the holding by any Person of
any of the Securities shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

 

(a)                                  The
fact and date of the execution by any such Person of any instrument may be
proved in any reasonable manner acceptable to the Trustee.

 

(b)                                 The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register of such
Securities or by a certificate of the Security Registrar thereof.

 

(c)                                  The
Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred to in this Section as
it shall deem necessary.

 

33

 

SECTION 8.03                    Who
May be Deemed Owners.

 

Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of any
Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying agent and any Security Registrar
may deem and treat the Person in whose name such Security shall be registered
upon the books of the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether
or not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of
ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the Security Registrar)
for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal of,
premium, if any, and (subject to Section 2.03) interest on such Security
and for all other purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any
paying agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

 

SECTION 8.04                    Certain
Securities Owned by Company Disregarded.

 

In determining whether the holders of the requisite aggregate principal
amount of Securities of a particular series have concurred in any direction,
consent of waiver under this Indenture, the Securities of that series that are
owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that series or
by any Person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under
common control with the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of that
series shall be disregarded and deemed not to be Outstanding for the purpose of
any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the
Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver,
only Securities of such series that the Trustee actually knows are so owned
shall be so disregarded. The Securities so owned that have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this Section, if the
pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right
so to act with respect to such Securities and that the pledgee is not a Person
directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect
common control with the Company or any such other obligor. In case of a dispute
as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel
shall be full protection to the Trustee.

 

SECTION 8.05                    Actions
Binding on Future Securityholders.

 

At any time prior to (but not after) the evidencing to the Trustee, as
provided in Section 8.01, of the taking of any action by the holders of
the majority or percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a
particular series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action,
any holder of a Security of that series that is shown by the evidence to be
included in the Securities the holders of which have consented to such action
may, by filing written notice with the Trustee, and upon proof of holding as
provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such
Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the holder of any
Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders and owners of such Security, and of any Security issued in exchange
therefor, on registration of transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective
of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any
action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in aggregate
principal amount of the Securities of a particular series specified in this
Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the
Company, the Trustee and the holders of all the Securities of that series.

 

34

 

ARTICLE IX.

consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following purposes:

(d)                                 to
add to the covenants of the Company for the benefit of the holders of all or
any Series of Securities (and if such covenants are to be for the benefit
of less than all series of Securities, stating that such covenants are
expressly being included solely for the benefit of such series) or to surrender
any right or power herein conferred upon the Company;

 

(e)                                  to
add to, delete from, or revise the conditions, limitations, and restrictions on
the authorized amount, terms, or purposes of issue, authentication, and
delivery of Securities, as herein set forth;

 

(f)                                    to
make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any Securityholder
in any material respect; or

 

(g)                                 to
provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of
the Securities of any series as provided in Section 2.01, to establish the
form of any certifications required to be furnished pursuant to the terms of
this Indenture or any series of Securities, or to add to the rights of the
holders of any series of Securities.

 

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in the
execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any further
appropriate agreements and stipulations that may be therein contained, but the
Trustee shall not be obligated to enter into any such supplemental indenture
that affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

 

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of this Section may
be executed by the Company and the Trustee without the consent of the holders
of any of the Securities at the time Outstanding, notwithstanding any of the
provisions of Section 9.02.

 

35

 

SECTION 9.02                    Supplemental
Indentures With Consent of Securityholders.

 

With the consent (evidenced as provided in Section 8.01) of the holders
of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of
each series affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time
Outstanding, the Company, when authorized by Board Resolutions, and the Trustee
may from time to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures

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

 

SECTION 9.03                    Effect
of Supplemental Indentures.

 

Upon the execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the
provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, this Indenture shall,
with respect to such series, be and be deemed to be modified and amended in

SECTION 9.04                    Securities
Affected by Supplemental Indentures.

 

Securities of any series, affected by a supplemental indenture,
authenticated and delivered after the execution of such supplemental indenture
pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may
bear a notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form meets the
requirements of any exchange upon which such series may be listed, as to any
matter provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Company shall so
determine, new Securities of that series so modified as to conform, in the
opinion of the Board of Directors of the Company, to any modification of this
Indenture contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by the
Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in exchange for the
Securities of that series then Outstanding.

 

SECTION 9.05                    Execution

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by its Board Resolutions
authorizing the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and upon the
filing with the Trustee of evidence of the consent of Securityholders required
to consent thereto as aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the
execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental indenture
affects the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture or
otherwise, in which case the Trustee may in its discretion but shall not be
obligated to enter into such supplemental indenture. The Trustee, subject to
the provisions of Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as
conclusive evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this Article is
authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the terms of this Article and
that it is proper for the Trustee under the provisions of this Article to
join in the execution thereof; provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel
need not be provided in connection with the execution of a supplemental
indenture that establishes the terms of a series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01
hereof.

 

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee of any
supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Section, the Trustee
shall transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, a notice, setting forth in
general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture, to the
Securityholders of all series affected thereby as their names and addresses
appear upon the Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such
notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or affect
the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

DECLARATION
OF TRUST

OF

CT
PUBLIC PREFERRED TRUST I

 

THIS DECLARATION OF TRUST is made as of May 28, 2008 (this “Declaration
of Trust”), by and among Capital Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, as
sponsor (the “Sponsor”), BNYM (Delaware), a Delaware banking corporation, as
the Delaware trustee (the “Delaware Trustee”), and Geoffrey G. Jervis, as
trustee (together with the Delaware Trustee, the “Capital Financing Trustees”).  The Sponsor and the Capital Financing
Trustees hereby agree as follows:

 

1.             The trust created
hereby shall be known as CT Public Preferred Trust I (the “Trust”), in which
name the Capital Financing Trustees or the Sponsor, to the extent provided
herein, may conduct the business of the Trust, make and execute contracts, and
sue and be sued.

 

2.             The Sponsor hereby
assigns, transfers, conveys and sets over to the Trust the sum of $10.  The Capital Financing Trustees hereby
acknowledge receipt of such amount in trust from the Sponsor, which amount
constitutes the initial trust estate. 
The Capital Financing Trustees hereby declare that they will hold the
trust estate in trust for the Sponsor. 
It is the intention of the parties hereto that the Trust created hereby
constitute a statutory trust under Chapter 38 of Title 12 of the Delaware Code,
12 Del. C. § 3801, et  seq. (the “Statutory Trust Act”),
and that this document constitute the governing instrument of the Trust.  The Capital Financing Trustees are hereby
authorized and directed to execute and file a certificate of trust with the
Delaware Secretary of State in accordance with the provisions of the Statutory
Trust Act.

 

3.             The Sponsor and the
Capital Financing Trustees will enter into an amended and restated Declaration
of Trust satisfactory to each such party and substantially in the form to be
included as an exhibit to the 1933 Act Registration Statement (as defined
below), to provide for the contemplated operation of the Trust created hereby
and the issuance of the Preferred Securities and Common Securities referred to
therein.  Prior to the execution and
delivery of such amended and restated Declaration of Trust, the Capital
Financing Trustees shall not have any duty or obligation hereunder or with
respect of the trust estate, except as otherwise required by applicable law or
as may be necessary to obtain prior to such execution and delivery any
licenses, consents or approvals required by applicable law or otherwise.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Capital
Financing Trustees may take all actions deemed proper as are necessary to
effect the transactions contemplated herein.

 

4.             The Sponsor, as
sponsor of the Trust, is hereby authorized, in its discretion, (i) to
prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
and to execute, in the case of the 1933 Act Registration Statement and 1934 Act
Registration Statement (as herein defined), on behalf of the Trust, (a) a
Registration Statement (the “1933 Act Registration Statement”), including all
pre-effective and post-effective amendments thereto, relating to the
registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), of
the Preferred Securities of the Trust, (b) any preliminary prospectus or
prospectus or supplement

 

 

thereto relating to the Preferred Securities of the Trust required to
be filed pursuant to the 1933 Act, and (c) a Registration Statement on Form 8-A
or other appropriate form (the “1934 Act Registration Statement”), including
all pre-effective and post-effective amendments thereto, relating to the
registration of the Preferred Securities of the Trust under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (ii) if and at such time as determined
by the Sponsor, to file with the New York Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ
Stock Market, Inc. or other exchange and execute on behalf of the Trust a
listing application and all other applications, statements, certificates,
agreements and other instruments as shall be necessary or desirable to cause
the Preferred Securities of the Trust to be listed on the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. or such other exchange;
(iii) to file and execute on behalf of the Trust, such applications,
reports, surety bonds, irrevocable consents, appointments of attorney for
service of process and other papers and documents that shall be necessary or
desirable to register the Preferred Securities of the Trust under the
securities or “Blue Sky” laws of such jurisdictions as the Sponsor, on behalf
of the Trust, may deem necessary or desirable; (iv) to execute and deliver
letters or documents to, or instruments for filing with, a depository relating
to the Preferred Securities of the Trust; and (v) to execute, deliver and
perform on behalf of the Trust an underwriting agreement with one or more
underwriters relating to the offering of the Preferred Securities of the Trust.

 

In the event that any filing referred to in this Section 4 is
required by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. or other exchange
or state securities or “Blue Sky” laws to be executed on behalf of the Trust by
the Capital Financing Trustees, the Capital Financing Trustees, in their
capacity as Capital Financing Trustees of the Trust, are hereby authorized to
join in any such filing and to execute on behalf of the Trust any and all of
the foregoing, it being understood that the Capital Financing Trustees, in
their capacity as trustees of the Trust, shall not be required to join in any
such filing or execute on behalf of the Trust any such document unless required
by the rules and regulations of the Commission, the New York Stock
Exchange, Inc., the NASDAQ Stock Market, Inc. or other exchange or
state securities or “Blue Sky” laws.

 

5.             This Declaration of
Trust may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

 

6.             The number of
trustees of the Trust initially shall be two and thereafter the number of
trustees of the Trust shall be such number as shall be fixed from time to time
by a written instrument signed by the Sponsor which may increase or decrease
the number of trustees of the Trust; provided, however, that to the extent
required by the Statutory Trust Act, one trustee of the Trust shall either be a
natural person who is a resident of the State of Delaware or, if not a natural
person, an entity which has its principal place of business in the State of
Delaware.  Subject to the foregoing, the
Sponsor is entitled to appoint or remove without cause any trustee of the Trust
at any time.  Any trustee of the Trust
may resign upon thirty days’ prior notice to the Sponsor.

7.             The Sponsor hereby
agrees to (i) reimburse the Capital Financing Trustees for all reasonable
expenses actually incurred (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel
and other experts), and (ii) indemnify, defend and hold harmless the
Capital Financing Trustees and any of the officers, directors, employees and
agents of the Capital Financing Trustees (the “Indemnified Persons”) from and
against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, claims, actions, suits,
costs, expenses, disbursements (including reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel), taxes and penalties of any kind and nature whatsoever actually
incurred (collectively, “Expenses”), to the extent that such Expenses arise out
of or are imposed upon or asserted at any time against such Indemnified Persons
with respect to the performance of this Declaration of Trust, the creation,
operation or termination of the Trust or the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Sponsor shall
not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Person for any Expenses which are
a result of the willful misconduct, bad faith or gross negligence of such
Indemnified Person.

 

8.             The Trust may be
dissolved and terminated before the issuance of the Capital Securities at the
election of the Sponsor.

 

9.             This Declaration of
Trust shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the
State of Delaware (without regard to conflict of laws principles).
