obligor upon the Securities or any Affiliate of the Company or of such other obligor shall be disregarded and deemed not to
be Outstanding, except that, in determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying upon any such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or upon any such determination as to the presence of a
quorum, only Securities that a Responsible Officer of the Trustee actually knows to be so owned shall be so disregarded.
Securities so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to the

taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly
appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such
action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered
to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Company. Such
instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced
thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing
such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of
a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this
Indenture and (subject to Section 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and
the Company, if made in the manner provided in this Section.
 

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

    7

     

     

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

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

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

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

    8

     

     

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

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

Section 105 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company
 

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

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

(2)          the Company by the Trustee or by any
Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein

the first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
 

Section 106 Notice to Holders; Waiver
 

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

    9

     

     

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

Section 107 Conflict with Trust Indenture Act
 

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

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

Section 109 Successors and Assigns

bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.

invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 

Section 111 Benefits of Indenture
 

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

Section 112 Governing Law
 

This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the law of the State of New York.
 

Section 113 Legal Holidays

then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities (other than a provision of any Security which specifically states
that such provision shall apply in lieu of this Section)) payment of interest
or principal (and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on
such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of
Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Interest Payment Date
or Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity.

aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to
time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global

Outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such
manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be
specified therein or in the Company Order to be delivered to the Trustee
pursuant to Section 303 or Section 304. Subject to the provisions of Section
303 and, if applicable, Section 304, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver
any Security in permanent global form in the manner and upon instructions given

Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not
comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel)
with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented

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

    15

     

     

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

Section 302 Denominations
 

Unless otherwise provided as contemplated by Section 301 with respect
to the Securities of any series, any Securities of such series, other than
Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be
issuable in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof.
 

Section 303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating
 

The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President, one of
its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on
the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
 

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

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

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

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

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

If such forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not
be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities
under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
 

    16

     

     

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

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
 

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

Section 304 Temporary Securities
 

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

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

Section 305 Registration,
Registration of Transfer and Exchange
 

The Company shall cause
to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance
with Section 1002 a register (being the combined register of the Security
Registrar and all transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 1002 for the
purpose of registration of transfer of Securities and sometimes collectively
referred to as the “Security Register”) in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration
of Securities and the registration of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is
hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering Securities
and transfers of Securities as herein provided.
 

    17

     

     

Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any
Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant
to Section 1002 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of
the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and
aggregate principal amount.
 

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

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

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

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

If the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor)
are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required (A) to issue,
register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that
series and specified tenor, as the case may be) during a period beginning at
the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that
series to be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the
mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (B) to register the transfer
of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part,
except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
 

The provisions of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall apply only to
Global Securities:
 

(a)           Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in
whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global
Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other
than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i)
such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a
clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and, in the case of each of
(A) and (B), a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90
days after such notice is received by the Company or the Company becomes aware
of such cessation, respectively, (ii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security and the
Security Registrar has received a written request from an owner of a beneficial
interest in such Global Security to receive registered securities or (iii)
there shall exist such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the
foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section
301.
 

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

    18

     

     

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

Section 306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen
Securities
 

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

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

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

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

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

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

Section 307 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights
Preserved
 

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

    19

     

     

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

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

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

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

Section 308 Persons Deemed Owners
 

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

Section 309 Cancellation
 

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

    20

     

     

Section 310 Computation of Interest
 

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

Section 311 CUSIP Numbers
 

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

Section 401 Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

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

(a)          either
 

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

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

(A)         have become due and payable, or

and the Company, in the case of (A), (B) or (C) above,
has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in
trust for the purpose money in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the
entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
for cancellation, for principal and any premium and interest to the date of such
deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the
Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that with
respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the Redemption Price is
based on or consists of a redemption premium that is required to be calculated
based on a treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate a specified
number of days prior to the redemption date, the Redemption Price deposited
shall be sufficient for purposes of this paragraph to the extent that the
Redemption Price so deposited is calculated using an amount equal to such
premium computed using such treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate
as of such specified number of days preceding the date of such deposit;
 

(b)          the Company has paid or caused to be paid
all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and
 

(c)          the Company has delivered to the Trustee

conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture have been complied with.
 

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

Section 402 Application of Trust Money
 

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

portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the
terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration
such principal amount (or specified amount) shall become immediately due and
payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 501
with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the
principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities of
that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof)
shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of
the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable.
 

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

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

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

    23

     

     

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

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

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

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

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

Section 503 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits
for Enforcement by Trustee
 

The Company covenants that if
 

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

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

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

Section 504 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim
 

In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee shall
be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or otherwise, to
take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act in order to
have claims of the Holders and the Trustee allowed in any such proceeding. In
particular, the Trustee shall be authorized to collect and receive any moneys
or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute
the same; and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator,
sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is
hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in
the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments
directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section
607.
 

    24

     

     

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

Section 505 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without
Possession of Securities
 

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

Section 506 Application of Money Collected
 

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

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

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

THIRD: To the Company.
 

Section 507 Limitation on Suits
 

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

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

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

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

    25

     

     

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

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

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

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

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

Section 509 Restoration of Rights and Remedies
 

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

Section 510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative
 

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

Section 511 Delay or Omission Not Waiver
 

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

    26

     

     

Section 512 Control by Holders
 

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

(a)          such direction shall not be in conflict
with any rule of law or with this Indenture, and
 

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

Section 513 Waiver of Past Defaults
 

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

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

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

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

Section 514 Undertaking for Costs
 

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

Section 515 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws
 

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

require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any
financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in
the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable

absence of bad faith on its part, rely upon an Officer’s Certificate;
 

(d)          the

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

    28

due care by it hereunder;

reasonably believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights
or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture;
 

(i)           the Trustee shall not be deemed to have
notice of any default or Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event
which is in fact such a default is received by the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and such notice references the Securities and this
Indenture; and
 

(j)           the rights, privileges, protections,
immunities and benefits given to the Trustee, including, without limitation,
its right to be indemnified, are extended to, and shall be enforceable by, the

Person employed to act hereunder.

Issuance of Securities
 

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

the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

other agent.
 

Section 606 Money Held in Trust

Section 607 Compensation and Reimbursement
 

The Company agrees
 

(1)          to pay to the Trustee from time to time
reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which

(2)          except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, to reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the

disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith;
and
 

(3)          to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold

or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance
or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
 

Section 608 Conflicting Interests
 

If the Trustee has or shall acquire a conflicting interest within the
meaning of the Trust Indenture Act, the Trustee shall either eliminate such
interest or resign, to the extent and in the manner provided by, and subject to
the provisions of, the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture. To the extent
permitted by such Act, the Trustee shall not be deemed to have a conflicting
interest by virtue of being a trustee under this Indenture with respect to
Securities of more than one series.
 

Section 609 Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility
 

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

Section 610 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of
Successor
 

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

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

    30

     

     

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

If at any time:
 

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

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

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

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

If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting,
or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or
more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with
the applicable requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its
acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements
of Section 611, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the
Company. If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of
such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at
least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly
situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.
 

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

    31

     

     

Section 611 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor
 

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

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

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

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

Section 612 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or
Succession to Business
 

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

    32

     

     

Section 613 Preferential
Collection of Claims Against Company
 

If and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company
(or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the
provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims
against the Company (or any such other obligor). For purposes of Section
311(b)(4) and (6) of the Trust Indenture Act:

Section 614 Appointment of Authenticating Agent
 

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

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

    33

     

     

An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by
giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee
may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving
written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and to the Company. Upon
receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case
at any time such Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor
Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give
notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106 to all Holders
of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent
will serve. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its
appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
 

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

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

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

	 	 

  	 

  
	 	As
                                         Trustee

  
	 	 

  	 

  
	 	As
                                         Authenticating Agent

  
	 	 

  	 

  
	 	By

  	 

  
	 	 

  	Authorized
                                         Signatory

  

 

If all of the Securities
of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does
not have an office capable of authenticating Securities upon original issuance
located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities of
such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested
by the Company in writing (which writing need not comply with Section 102 and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance
with this Section an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of
Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.
 

Section 615 Rules by Trustee
 

The Trustee may make reasonable rules for any Act of Holders or a
meeting of Holders of one or more series of Securities.

COVENANTS
 

Section 1001 Payment of Principal, Premium and
Interest
 

The Company covenants and agrees for the benefit of each series of
Securities that it will duly and punctually pay the principal of and any
premium and interest on the Securities of that series in accordance with the
terms of the Securities and this Indenture.
 

Section 1002 Maintenance of Office or Agency
 

The Company will maintain in each Place of Payment for any series of
Securities an office or agency where Securities of that series may be presented
or surrendered for payment, where Securities of that series may be surrendered
for registration of transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or
upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and this Indenture
may be served. The Company will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of
the location, and any change in the location, of such office or agency. If at
any time the Company shall fail to maintain any such required office or agency
or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the
Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and
demands.
 

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

Section 1003 Money for Securities Payments to Be
Held in Trust
 

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

Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series
of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium 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 its action or
failure so to act.
 

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

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

    40

     

     

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

Section 1004 Statement by Officers as to Default
 

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

Section 1005 Existence
 

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

Section 1006 Waiver of Certain Covenants
 

Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
Securities of such series, the Company may, with respect to the Securities of
any series, omit in any particular instance to comply with any term, provision
or condition set forth in any covenant provided pursuant to clause (r) of
Section 301 or clause (b) or (g) of Section 901 for the benefit of the Holders
of such series or in Section 1005, if before the time for such compliance the
Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such
compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such term,
provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term,
provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until
such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.

REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES
 

Section 1101 Applicability of Article
 

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

Section 1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee
 

The election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced
by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section
301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the
Company of less than all the Securities of any series (including any such
redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60
days prior to the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice
shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption
Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and,
if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed (unless all of the
Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed). In the case of any
redemption of Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such
redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this
Indenture, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction.
 

Section 1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to
Be Redeemed
 

If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed
(unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the
particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days
prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of
such series not previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee
shall deem appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption
of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided
that the unredeemed portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in
an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series
and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects
only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days (subject to Section 1104) prior to the
Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series
and specified tenor not previously called for redemption in accordance with the
preceding sentence.
 

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

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

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

Section 1104 Notice of Redemption
 

Notice of redemption
shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of
Securities to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date, except that any notice of redemption may be given more than 60
days prior to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a
Defeasance of Securities pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof or a satisfaction
and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Four hereof. In connection
with any redemption of Securities, any such redemption may, at the Company’s
discretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In
addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or
more conditions precedent, such notice may state that, in the Company’s
discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all
such conditions shall be satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole
discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded
in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or
waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption Date, or by the
Redemption Date so delayed.
 

All notices of redemption shall state:
 

(a)          the Redemption Date,
 

(b)          the Redemption Price,
 

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

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

(e)          the place or places where such Securities
are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,
 

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

(g)          the applicable “CUSIP” numbers, if any,
and
 

(h)          if applicable, that such redemption may
be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.
 

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

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

    43

     

     

Section 1105 Deposit of Redemption Price
 

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

Section 1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date
 

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

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

Section 1107 Securities
Redeemed in Part
 

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

SINKING
FUNDS
 

Section 1201 Applicability of Article
 

The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.
 

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

Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities
as provided for by the terms of such Securities.
 

    44

     

     

Section 1202 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund Payments
with Securities
 

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

Section 1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking
Fund
 

Not less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant
to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 15 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date,
the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund
payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the
redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense of the Company
in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the
redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner
stated in Sections 1106 and 1107.

DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
 

Section 1301 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance
or Covenant Defeasance
 

The Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have either
Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of
Securities, as the case may be, upon compliance with the conditions set forth
below in this Article.
 

Section 1302 Defeasance and Discharge
 

Upon the Company’s exercise under Section 1301 hereof of the option to
have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities,
as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from
its obligations with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter “Defeasance”).
For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company shall be deemed to
have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities
and to have satisfied all its other obligations under such Securities and this
Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same),
except for the following, which shall survive until otherwise terminated or
discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive,
solely from the trust fund described in Section 1304 and as more fully set
forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s
obligations with respect to such Securities under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002
and 1003, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee
hereunder and (d) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the
Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding the
prior exercise of its option under Section 1303.
 

    45

     

     

Section 1303 Covenant Defeasance
 

Upon the Company’s exercise of the option to have this Section 1303
applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, (a)
the Company shall be released from its obligations with respect to such
Securities under Section 801, Section 1005 and Section 1006 and any covenants
provided pursuant to clause (r) of Section 301 or clause (b) or (g) of Section
901 for the benefit of the Holders of such Securities and (b) the occurrence of
any event specified in clause (c), (d) (with respect to any of Section 801,
Section 1005 or Section 1006 and any such covenants provided pursuant to clause
(r) of Section 301 or clause (b) or (g) of Section 901) or (g) of Section 501
shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default on and after the date the
conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter “Covenant
Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with
respect to such Securities, the Company may omit to comply with and shall have
no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any
such Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any
reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article or by reason of any
reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in
any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
shall be unaffected thereby.
 

Section 1304 Conditions
to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
 

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

(a)           The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable
to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the following
payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the
benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (i) money in an amount, or (ii)
Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal and
interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not
later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or
(iii) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient to pay and discharge, and
which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to
pay and discharge, the principal of, and any premium (if any) and interest on,
such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities or the applicable
Redemption Date, in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities;
provided that with respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the
Redemption Price is based on or consists of a redemption premium that is
required to be calculated based on a treasury rate or other floating or
adjustable rate a specified number of days prior to the redemption date, the
Redemption Price deposited shall be sufficient for purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence to the extent that the Redemption Price so deposited is
calculated using an amount equal to such premium computed using such treasury
rate or other floating or adjustable rate as of such specified number of days
preceding the date of such deposit. As used herein, “Government Obligations”
means, with respect to any series of Securities, securities that are (x) direct
obligations of the government that issued the currency in which such series is
denominated (or, if such series is denominated in euros, the direct obligations
of any government that is a member of the European Monetary Union) for the
payment of which such government’s full faith and credit is pledged or (y)
obligations of a Person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or
instrumentality of such government the payment of which is unconditionally
guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by such government, which, in
either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof
and shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in
Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any
Government Obligation where the relevant government is the United States of
America or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such
Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder of
such depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such
custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the amount payable to
the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian
in respect of such Government Obligation or the specific payment of principal
of or interest on such Government Obligation evidenced by such depository
receipt.
 

    46

     

     

(b)          In the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply
to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to
the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will
not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
deposit, Defeasance and discharge and will be subject to Federal income tax on
the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case
if such deposit, Defeasance and discharge had not occurred.
 

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

(d)          No Event of Default with respect to the
Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of
such deposit (other than an Event of Default resulting from transactions
occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing of
funds, to be applied to such deposit or other indebtedness which is being
repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether legal or covenant defeasance)
or discharged, and, in each case, the granting of liens in connection
therewith).
 

(e)          Such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance
shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,
any material agreement or instrument (other than this Indenture or any
agreement or instrument governing any other indebtedness which is being repaid,
repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether legal or covenant defeasance) or
discharged) to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound.
 

(f)           The Company shall have delivered to the
Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that
all conditions precedent to the Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been
satisfied.
 

The Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will be effective on the day on
which all of the applicable conditions above have been satisfied. Upon satisfaction
of such conditions, the Trustee shall, upon written request, execute proper
instrument(s) acknowledging such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
 

Section 1305 Deposited Money and Government
Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions
 

Subject to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all
money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited
with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this
Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred
to collectively, for purposes of this Section 1305, as the “Trustee”) pursuant
to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied
by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions of such Securities and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent
(including the Company acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may
determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become due
thereon in respect of principal and premium (if any) and interest, but such
money need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by
law.
 

    47

     

     

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

Anything in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company
Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section
1304 hereof which, in the opinion or based on a report or certificate of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank
or appraisal firm expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the
Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be required to be
deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the
case may be.
 

Section 1306 Reinstatement
 

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

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

As provided in and subject to the provisions of the Indenture, the
Holder of this Security shall not have the right to institute any proceeding

Default with respect to the Securities of this series, the Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of this series at the

proceedings in respect of such Event of Default as Trustee and offered the
Trustee reasonable indemnity, and the Trustee shall not have received from the
Holders of a majority in principal amount of Securities of this series at the
time Outstanding a direction inconsistent with such request, and shall have
failed to institute any such proceeding, for 60 days after receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity. The foregoing shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Holder of this Security for the enforcement of any
payment of principal hereof or any premium or interest hereon on or after the
respective due dates expressed herein.
 

No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security

premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or the
attorney of such Holder duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more
new Securities of this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations
and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.

without coupons in denominations of $            and any integral multiple of $           in excess

therein set forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a
different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the
same.

Section

be given, made or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such

required, to the Company. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the “Act” of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument

The

future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance
thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.

 

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

 

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

 

     8

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

Section
105 Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company

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

Holder as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date
(if any), prescribed for the giving of such notice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or any Security of any
series other than a provision that expressly states that this paragraph is not applicable to the Securities of such series, when
this Indenture or any Security provides for notice of any event (including any notice of redemption) to a Holder of Securities
in global form (whether by mail or otherwise), such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for such Security
(or its designee) pursuant to the customary procedures of such Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency
of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived
in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent
of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent
to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.

 

     9

     

    

 

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

this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby, together with the written statement contemplated by the last
sentence of Section 303.

     15

     

    

 

If

Section

other than Securities issued in global form (which may be of any denomination), shall be issuable in minimum denominations of

Section
303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating

 

The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Vice Chairman of the Board, its President,
one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

     16

     

    

 

If
such forms or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of
such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee’s own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities
and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

 

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

 

Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

 

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

 

Section
304 Temporary Securities

 

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

 

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

 

Section
305 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange

 

The
Company shall cause to be kept at an office or agency to be maintained by the Company in accordance with Section 1002 a register
(being the combined register of the Security Registrar and all transfer agents designated pursuant to Section 1002 for the purpose
of registration of transfer of Securities and sometimes collectively referred to as the “Security Register”) in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of Securities and the
registration of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby appointed “Security Registrar” for the purpose of registering
Securities and transfers of Securities as herein provided.

 

     17

     

    

 

Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office or agency of the Company maintained pursuant
to Section 1002 for such purpose in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

If
the Securities of any series (or of any series and specified tenor) are to be redeemed in part, the Company shall not be required
(A) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Securities of that series (or of that series and specified tenor, as the
case may be) during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before any selection of Securities of that series to
be redeemed and ending at the close of business on the day of the mailing of the relevant notice of redemption, or (B) to register
the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption, in whole or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part.

 

The
provisions of clauses (a), (b) and (c) below shall apply only to Global Securities:

 

(a)          Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and
no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for
such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (i) such Depositary (A) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable
to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (B) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act
and, in the case of each of (A) and (B), a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after such notice
is received by the Company or the Company becomes aware of such cessation, respectively, (ii) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security and the Security Registrar has received a written request
from an owner of a beneficial interest in such Global Security to receive registered securities or (iii) there shall exist such
circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section
301.

 

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

 

     18

     

    

 

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

 

Section
306 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section
307 Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved

 

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

 

     19

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section
308 Persons Deemed Owners

 

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

 

Section
309 Cancellation

 

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

 

     20

     

    

 

Section
310 Computation of Interest

 

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

 

Section
311 CUSIP Numbers

 

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

instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when

 

(a)          either

 

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

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

 

(A)          have
become due and payable, or

of Securities which have become due and payable) or to the Stated Maturity or Redemption Date, as the case may be; provided that
with respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the Redemption Price is based on or consists of a redemption premium

to any judgment, decree or order of any court or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):

 

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

 

(b)          default
in the payment of any interest upon any Security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of such default

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

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, or (iii) consents to the appointment of a Custodian of it or for all or

Section
502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment

 

If
an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(e) or 501(f)) with respect to Securities of any series
at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than a majority
of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount of all the Securities of
that series (or, if any Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount
of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the
Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or specified amount) shall
become immediately due and payable. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e) or (f) of Section 501 with respect to Securities
of any series at the time Outstanding occurs, the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities
of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be specified
by the terms thereof) shall automatically, and without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder,
become immediately due and payable.

 

     23

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section
503 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by Trustee

 

The
Company covenants that if

 

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

 

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

 

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

the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts
due the Trustee under Section 607.

 

No
provision of this Indenture shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of
any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder
thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding; provided, however, that

Trustee shall be brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall, after provision for
the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for
the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

 

Section
506 Application of Money Collected

 

Any
money collected by the Trustee pursuant to this Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by

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

 

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

 

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

severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders
shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.

Section
510 Rights and Remedies Cumulative

 

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

 

Section
511 Delay or Omission Not Waiver

 

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

of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except
a default

 

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

 

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

 

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

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

Section

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

 

Section
610 Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

If
at any time:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

     31

     

    

 

If
the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any
cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor
Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee
may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only
one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section
611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall,
forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.
If no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or the Holders
of Securities of such series and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series.

 

The

Section
611 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor

 

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

 

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

 

     32

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

Section
612 Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business

 

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

 

Section
613 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company

 

If
and when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall
be subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company (or any such other
obligor). For purposes of Section 311(b)(4) and (6) of the Trust Indenture Act:

 

(a)          “cash
transaction” means any transaction in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven days after delivery
of the goods or securities in currency or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon demand; and

 

(b)          “self-liquidating
paper” means any draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or incurred by the Company
for the purpose of financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise
and which is secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables
or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security
is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,
drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

 

Section
614 Appointment of Authenticating Agent

 

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

 

     33

     

    

 

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

 

An
Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may
at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and
to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such Authenticating
Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Trustee may appoint a successor Authenticating
Agent which shall be acceptable to the Company and shall give notice of such appointment in the manner provided in Section 106
to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve. Any successor Authenticating
Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.

 

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

 

     34

     

    

 

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

 

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

	 	Authorized

If
all of the Securities of a series may not be originally issued at one time, and if the Trustee does not have an office capable
of authenticating Securities upon original issuance located in a Place of Payment where the Company wishes to have Securities
of such series authenticated upon original issuance, the Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing (which writing need
not comply with Section 102 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint in accordance with this Section
an Authenticating Agent having an office in a Place of Payment designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

Section
1003 Money for Securities Payments to Be Held in Trust

 

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

 

Whenever
the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal
of or any premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal
and any premium 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 its action
or failure so to act.

 

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

 

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

 

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

any such right or franchise if the Board shall determine that the preservation thereof is no longer desirable in the conduct of

Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance
with such term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except

REDEMPTION
OF SECURITIES

 

Section
1101 Applicability of Article

 

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

 

Section
1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee

 

The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated
by Section 301 for such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of less than all the Securities of
any series (including any such redemption affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such
Redemption Date, of the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable, of the tenor of the Securities
to be redeemed (unless all of the Securities of a specified tenor are to be redeemed). In the case of any redemption of Securities
prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture,
the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officer’s Certificate evidencing compliance with such restriction.

 

Section
1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be Redeemed

 

If
less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor
are to be redeemed or unless such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be
selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not
previously called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem appropriate and which may provide for the selection
for redemption of a portion of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed portion of the
principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption
affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days (subject to
Section 1104) prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series and specified tenor
not previously called for redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.

 

     42

     

    

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

Section
1104 Notice of Redemption

 

Notice
of redemption shall be given in the manner provided in Section 106 to the Holders of Securities to be redeemed not less than 30
nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, except that any notice of redemption may be given more than 60 days prior
to a Redemption Date if the notice is issued in connection with a Defeasance of Securities pursuant to Article Thirteen hereof
or a satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture pursuant to Article Four hereof. In connection with any redemption of Securities,
any such redemption may, at the Company’s discretion, be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent. In
addition, if such redemption or notice is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice may state that,
in the Company’s discretion, the Redemption Date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied
(or waived by the Company in its sole discretion), or such redemption may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event
that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied (or waived by the Company in its sole discretion) by the Redemption
Date, or by the Redemption Date so delayed.

 

All
notices of redemption shall state:

 

(a)          the
Redemption Date,

 

(b)          the
Redemption Price,

 

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

 

     43

     

    

 

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

 

(e)          the
place or places where such Securities are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price,

 

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

 

(g)          the
applicable “CUSIP” numbers, if any, and

 

(h)          if
applicable, that such redemption may be subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent.

 

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

 

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

 

Section
1105 Deposit of Redemption Price

 

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

 

Section
1106 Securities Payable on Redemption Date

 

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

 

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

 

     44

     

    

 

Section
1107 Securities Redeemed in Part

 

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

1201 Applicability of Article

 

The
provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of any series except as otherwise
specified as contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities.

 

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

 

Each

each case in satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of such series required
to be made pursuant to the terms of such Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities; provided
that the Securities to be so credited have not been previously so credited. The Securities to be so credited shall be received
and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price, as specified in the Securities so to be redeemed, for redemption
through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly.

 

Section
1203 Redemption of Securities for Sinking Fund

 

Not
less than 30 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officer’s
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities,
the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied
by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so delivered.
Not less than 15 days prior to each such sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon
such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given
in the name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the

DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE

 

Section
1301 Company’s Option to Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

 

The
Company may, at its option, at any time, elect to have either Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series
of Securities, as the case may be, upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this Article.

 

Section
1302 Defeasance and Discharge

 

Upon
the Company’s exercise under Section 1301 hereof of the option to have this Section 1302 applied to any Securities or any
series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations, and the provisions
of Article Fourteen shall cease to be effective, with respect to such Outstanding Securities on the date the conditions set forth
in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter “Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company
shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all its
other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense
of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), except for the following, which shall survive until
otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (a) the rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments in respect of the principal of and any premium
and interest on such Securities when such payments are due, (b) the Company’s obligations with respect to such Securities
under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (c) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and
(d) this Article. Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option under this Section 1302 notwithstanding
the prior exercise of its option under Section 1303.

 

Section
1303 Covenant Defeasance

 

Upon
the Company’s exercise of the option to have this Section 1303 applied to any Securities or any series of Securities, as
the case may be, (a) the Company shall be released from its obligations with respect to such Securities under Section 801, Section
1005 and Section 1006 and any covenants provided pursuant to clause (r) of Section 301 or clause (b) or (g) of Section 901 for
the benefit of the Holders of such Securities, (b) the occurrence of any event specified in clause (c), (d) (with respect to any
of Section 801, Section 1005 or Section 1006 and any such covenants provided pursuant to clause (r) of Section 301 or clause (b)
or (g) of Section 901) or (g) of Section 501 shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default , and (c) the provisions of Article
Fourteen shall cease to be effective, on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter
“Covenant Defeasance”). For this purpose, such Covenant Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the
Company may omit to comply with and shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set forth in any such
Section or Article, whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere herein to any such Section or Article
or by reason of any reference in any such Section or Article to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the remainder
of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected thereby.

 

     46

     

    

 

Section
1304 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance

 

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

 

(a)          The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements
contemplated by Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article applicable to it) as trust funds in trust
for the purpose of making the following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely to, the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities, (i) money in an amount, or (ii) Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of
principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date
of any payment, money in an amount, or (iii) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient to pay and discharge, and which shall
be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, the principal of, and any premium (if any)
and interest on, such Securities on the respective Stated Maturities or the applicable Redemption Date, in accordance with the
terms of this Indenture and such Securities; provided that with respect to a Redemption Date, if all or a portion of the Redemption
Price is based on or consists of a redemption premium that is required to be calculated based on a treasury rate or other floating
or adjustable rate a specified number of days prior to the redemption date, the Redemption Price deposited shall be sufficient
for purposes of the immediately preceding sentence to the extent that the Redemption Price so deposited is calculated using an
amount equal to such premium computed using such treasury rate or other floating or adjustable rate as of such specified number
of days preceding the date of such deposit. As used herein, “Government Obligations” means, with respect to any series
of Securities, securities that are (x) direct obligations of the government that issued the currency in which such series is denominated
(or, if such series is denominated in euros, the direct obligations of any government that is a member of the European Monetary
Union) for the payment of which such government’s full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations of a Person controlled
or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of such government the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed
as a full faith and credit obligation by such government, which, in either case, are not callable or redeemable at the option
of the issuer thereof and shall also include a depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the Securities
Act) as custodian with respect to any Government Obligation where the relevant government is the United States of America or a
specific payment of principal of or interest on any such Government Obligation held by such custodian for the account of the holder
of such depositary receipt, provided that (except as required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from
the amount payable to the holder of such depository receipt from any amount received by the custodian in respect of such Government
Obligation or the specific payment of principal of or interest on such Government Obligation evidenced by such depository receipt.

 

(b)          In
the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (i) the Company has received from, or there has been published
by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (ii) since the date of this Indenture, there has been a change in the applicable
Federal income tax law, in either case (i) or (ii) to the effect that the Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series
will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit, Defeasance and discharge and will
be subject to Federal income tax on the same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if such deposit,
Defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

 

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

 

     47

     

    

 

(d)          No
Event of Default with respect to the Securities of such series shall have occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit
(other than an Event of Default resulting from transactions occurring contemporaneously with the borrowing of funds, or the borrowing
of funds, to be applied to such deposit or other indebtedness which is being repaid, repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether
legal or covenant defeasance) or discharged, and, in each case, the granting of liens in connection therewith).

 

(e)          Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, any material agreement
or instrument (other than this Indenture or any agreement or instrument governing any other indebtedness which is being repaid,
repurchased, redeemed, defeased (whether legal or covenant defeasance) or discharged) to which the Company is a party or by which
the Company is bound.

 

(f)          The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officer’s Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent to the Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been satisfied.

 

The
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will be effective on the day on which all of the applicable conditions above have been satisfied.
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall, upon written request, execute proper instrument(s) acknowledging such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.

 

Section
1305 Deposited Money and Government Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions

 

Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof)
deposited with the Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section and Section 1306, the Trustee and
any such other trustee are referred to collectively, for purposes of this Section 1305, as the “Trustee”) pursuant
to Section 1304 in respect of any Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with the provisions
of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company
acting as its own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such Securities, of all sums due and to become
due thereon in respect of principal and premium (if any) and interest, but such money need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required by law.

 

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

 

Anything
in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon
Company Request any money or Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 hereof which, in the opinion or based
on a report or certificate of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants, investment bank or appraisal firm
expressed in a written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then be
required to be deposited to effect an equivalent Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as the case may be.

 

     48

     

    

 

Section
1306 Reinstatement

 

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