instrument.
SECTION
104 Acts of Holders; Record
Dates.
Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given, made or taken by
Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by 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 and to
the Guarantors. 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 and the Guarantors, if made in the manner provided
in this Section 104.
The fact
and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be
proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a
notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of
deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is by a signer
acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and
date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the
Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.
The
ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.
Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act
of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same
Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of
transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of
anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee, the Company or the
Guarantors in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made
upon such Security.
-9-
The
Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust Indenture Act, 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 Xxxxxxx 000, (xxx) any request to institute proceedings referred
to in Section 507(2) or (iv) any direction referred to in Section 512, in each
case with respect to Securities of such series. If any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Holders of Outstanding Securities of such series
on such record date, and no other Holders, shall be entitled to join in such
notice, declaration, request or direction, whether or not such Holders remain
Holders after such record date; provided that no such action
shall be effective hereunder unless taken on or prior to the applicable
Expiration Date by Holders of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding
Securities of such series on such record date. Nothing in this paragraph shall
be construed to prevent the Trustee from setting a new record date for any
action for which a record date has previously been set pursuant to this
paragraph (whereupon the record date previously set shall automatically and with
no action by any Person be cancelled and of no effect), and nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to render ineffective any action taken by Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Outstanding Securities of the relevant
series on the date such action is taken. Promptly after any record date is set
pursuant to this paragraph, the Trustee, at the Company's expense, shall cause
notice of such record date, the proposed action by Holders and the applicable
Expiration Date to be given to the Company in writing and to each Holder of
Securities of the relevant series in the manner set forth in Section
106.
With
respect to any record date set pursuant to this Section 104, the party hereto
which sets such record dates may designate any day as the "Expiration Date" and
from time to time may change the Expiration Date to any earlier or later day;
provided that no such
change shall be effective unless notice of the proposed new Expiration Date is
given to the other party hereto in writing, and to each Holder of Securities 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 104, the party hereto which set
such record date shall be deemed to have initially designated the 180th day
after such record date as the Expiration Date with respect thereto, subject to
its right to change the Expiration Date as provided in this paragraph.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Expiration Date shall be later than the 180th
day after the applicable record date.
-10-
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, Company
and the Guarantors.
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, by the Company or by the Guarantors 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 or the Guarantors by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in
writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company or the
Guarantors, as the case may be, addressed to such party at the address of its
principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument or at any
other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company or
the Guarantors, as the case may be.
SECTION
106 Notice to Holders;
Waiver.
Where
this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected by such event,
at his or her address as it appears in the Security Register, not later than the
latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders is
given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice
in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to
receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be
the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with
the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity
of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case
by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other
cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such
notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute
a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.
-11-
Where
this Indenture provides for notice of any event to a Holder of a Global
Security, such notice shall be sufficiently given if given to the Depositary for
such Security (or its designee), pursuant to its Applicable Procedures, not
later than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if
any), prescribed for the giving of such notice.
SECTION
107 Conflict with Trust Indenture
Act.
If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust
Indenture Act that is required under such Act to be a part of and govern this
Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this
Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that 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.

Indenture.

with the law of the State of New York.

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

officer, director, trustee or employee of any Guarantor, nor shall any of such
parties be personally liable for any such amounts, obligations or claims, or
liable for any deficiency judgment based thereon or with respect thereto, it
being expressly understood that the sole remedies hereunder or under any other
document with respect to the Securities against such parties with respect to
such amounts, obligations or claims shall be against the Issuer or, in the case
of a Guarantee thereof, the Guarantors, as the case may be, and that all such
liability of such parties is and is to be, by the acceptance hereof, expressly
waived and released as a condition of, and as consideration for, the execution

-24-
SECTION
303 Execution, Authentication, Delivery
and Dating.
The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its President or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary, one of its Assistant Secretaries
or other authorized Person of the Company, and if such Securities are Guaranteed
Securities, on behalf of each Guarantor by the Chairman of the Board, the
President or one of the Vice Presidents of such Guarantor, under the respective
corporate or partnership seal of each Guarantor, as the case may be, reproduced
thereon attested by the Secretary, one of the Assistant Secretaries or other
authorized Person of the Company. 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 or the Guarantors shall bind the Company or
the Guarantors, as the case may be, notwithstanding that such individuals or any
of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and
delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities.
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 and, if
applicable, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees executed by the Guarantors,
to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the
authentication and delivery of such Securities, and the Trustee in accordance
with the Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities. If the
form or terms of the Securities of the series have been established by or
pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by Sections 201 and 301,
in authenticating such Securities, and accepting the additional responsibilities
under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be
entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 601) shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,
(1) if
the form of such Securities has been established by or pursuant to Board
Resolution as permitted by Section 201, that such form has been established in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;
(2) if
the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board
Resolution and, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, and the terms
thereof have been established by or pursuant to Guarantors' Board Resolutions,
as permitted by Section 301, that such terms have been established in conformity
with the provisions of this Indenture;
(3) that
such Securities, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by
the Company in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such
Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the
Company enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy,
insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of
general applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general
equity principles; and
-25-
(4) that
such Guarantees, when the Securities upon which they shall have been endorsed
shall have been 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 each Guarantor
enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors' rights and to general equity
principles.
If such
form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to
authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this
Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the
Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner which is not reasonably
acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding paragraph, if all Securities
of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, including when the size
of an Outstanding series of Securities is increased as contemplated by Section
301, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate or
Guarantors' Officers' Certificates otherwise required pursuant to Section 301 or
the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such
preceding paragraph at or prior to the authentication of each Security of such
series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon
original issuance of the first Security of such series to be
issued.
Each
Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
No
Security or Guarantee endorsed thereon 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 and the
Guarantors, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, 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, if applicable, having
endorsed thereon the Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantors substantially of
the tenor of the definitive Guarantees 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
and, if applicable, the Guarantees.
-26-
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 and the Guarantors, if such Securities are Guaranteed
Securities, 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, and,
if applicable, having endorsed thereon the Guarantees duly executed by the
Guarantors substantially of the tenor of the definitive Guarantees. Until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall in all respects be
entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of
such series and tenor.
SECTION
305 Registration, Registration of
Transfer and Exchange.
The
Company shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a
register (the register maintained in such office and in any other
office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment being herein sometimes
collectively referred to as the "Security Register") in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the
registration of Securities and of transfers of Securities. The Trustee is hereby
appointed "Security Registrar" for the purpose of registering Securities and
transfers of Securities as herein provided.
Upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of a series at the office
or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment for that series, the Company
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor and aggregate
principal amount.
At the
option of the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations and of like tenor
and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged
at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for
exchange, the Company and the Guarantors, if such Securities are Guaranteed
Securities, shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities that 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 and the Guarantors, if such
Securities are Guaranteed Securities, respectively, evidencing the same debt,
and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities
surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange.
Every
Security presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or for exchange
shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
-27-
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 Sections 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 the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of any
such Securities selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending at the
close of business on the day of such mailing, or (B) to register the transfer of
or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in part.
The
provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global
Securities:
(1) Each
Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the
name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof
and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and
each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of
this Indenture.
(2) Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, and subject to such applicable
provisions, if any, as may be specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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 (A) such Depositary has notified the Company that it is
unwilling or unable or no longer permitted under applicable law to continue as
Depositary for such Global Security or (B) there shall have occurred and be
continuing an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) the
Company so directs the Trustee by Company Order or (D) there shall exist
such circumstances, if any, in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as have
been specified for this purpose as contemplated by Section 301.
(3) Subject
to Clause (2) above and to such applicable provisions, if any, as may be
specified as contemplated by Section 301, 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.
(4) Every
Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in
exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether
pursuant to this Section, Sections 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 and the
Guarantors, if such Securities are Guaranteed Securities, 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, if applicable, a
Guarantee endorsed thereon, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
If there
shall be delivered to the Company, the Guarantors, if applicable, and the
Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to
save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence
of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Company and the Guarantors, if such Securities are
Guaranteed Securities, 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, if applicable,
having a Guarantee endorsed thereon, and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
In case
any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to
become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a
new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the
issuance of any new Security under this Section 306, 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 306 in lieu of any
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional
contractual obligation of the Company and the Guarantors, if such Securities are
Guaranteed Securities, respectively, 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 306 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 that 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 or, if no
business is conducted by the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office on such date,
at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on such date.
-29-
Any
interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is not punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called
"Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the
relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such
Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as
provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
(1) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in
whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for
the payment of such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following
manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of
Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Security of such series and the
date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit
with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed
payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such
Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10
days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after
the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee
shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name
and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of
such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be given to each
Holder of Securities of such series in the manner set forth in Section 106, not
less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having
been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose
names the Securities of such series (or their respective Predecessor Securities)
are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any
series in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon such notice
as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to
the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of
payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
Except as
may be provided in this Section 307 or as contemplated in Section 301 with
respect to any Securities of a series, the Person to whom interest shall be
payable on any Security that first becomes payable on a day that is not an
Interest Payment Date shall be the Holder of such Security on the day such
interest is paid.
Subject
to the foregoing provisions of this Section 307, 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.
-30-
SECTION
308 Persons Deemed
Owners.
Prior to
due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the
Guarantors, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantors 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 Guarantors, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company,
the Guarantors 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 or the Guarantors may at any time deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and
delivered hereunder which the Company or the Guarantors 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 or the Guarantors have 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 309, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Securities held by the Trustee shall
be disposed of as directed by a Company Order.
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 "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 redemption and that reliance
may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the
Securities. Any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect
in or omission of such numbers.

SECTION
502 Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission
and Annulment.
If an
Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or
501(7)) with respect to Securities of any series at the time Outstanding occurs
and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee, upon receipt of a
request from the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, shall, or the Holders of not less than
25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of that series may declare
the principal amount of all the Securities of that series (or, if any Securities
of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the
principal amount of such Securities as may be specified by the terms thereof) to
be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company or the
Guarantors (if any Guaranteed Securities are Outstanding) (and to the Trustee if
given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of
Default specified in Section 501(6) or 501(7) 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 Five
provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company, the Guarantors (if
any Guaranteed Securities are Outstanding) and the Trustee, may rescind and
annul such declaration and its consequences if:
(1) the
Company or the Guarantors have paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay:
(A) all
overdue interest on all Securities of that series,
-35-
(B) the
principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of that series which have
become due otherwise than by such declaration of acceleration and any interest
thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such
Securities,
(C) to
the extent that payment of such interest is lawful, interest upon overdue
interest at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
and
(D) all
sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel;
and
(2) all
Events of Default with respect to Securities of that series, other than the
non-payment of the principal of Securities of that series which have become due
solely by such declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as
provided in Section 513.
No such
rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right consequent
thereon.
SECTION
503 Collection of Indebtedness and Suits
for Enforcement by Trustee.
The
Company covenants that if:
(1) default
is made in the payment of any interest on any Security when such interest
becomes due and payable and such default continues for a period of 30 days,
or
(2) default
is made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on)
any Security at the Maturity thereof,
the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable on such
Securities for principal and any premium and interest and, to the extent that
payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, interest on any overdue
principal and premium and on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates
prescribed therefor in such Securities, and, in addition thereto, such further
amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection,
including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of
the Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If an
Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs and is
continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by such
appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

SECTION
504 Trustee May File Proofs of
Claim.
In case
of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company, the Guarantors (if any
Guaranteed Securities are Outstanding) (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.
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.

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 Five shall be applied in the
following order, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the
distribution of such money on account of principal or any premium or interest,
upon presentation of the Securities and the notation thereon of the payment if
only partially paid and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To
the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under Section 607; and
SECOND: To
the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid for principal of and any premium
and interest on the Securities in respect of which or for the benefit of which
such money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority of any
kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal
and any premium and interest, respectively.

507 Limitation on
Suits.

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

Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
of that series shall have made written request to the Trustee to institute

to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in
compliance with such request;
(4) the
Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of
indemnity has failed to institute any such proceeding; and
(5) no
direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee
during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series;
it being
understood and intended that no one or more of such Holders shall have any right
in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this
Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other of such
Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
of such Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the
manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all of such
Holders.
SECTION
508 Unconditional Right of Holders to
Receive Principal, Premium and Interest.
Notwithstanding
any other provision in this Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the
right, which is absolute and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal
of and any premium and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the
respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of
any such payment, and such rights shall not be impaired without the consent of
such Holder.
SECTION
509 Restoration of Rights and
Remedies.
If the
Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to
such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such
proceeding, the Company, the Guarantors, 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.

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 Five 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.
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
(1) such
direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture,
and
(2) the
Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not
inconsistent with such direction.
SECTION
513 Waiver of Past
Defaults.
The
Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of
such series waive any past default hereunder with respect to such series and its
consequences, except a default
(1) in
the payment of the principal of or any premium or interest on any Security of
such series, or
-39-
(2) in
respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be
modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding
Security of such series affected.
Upon any
such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose of this
Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon.
SECTION
514 Undertaking for
Costs.
In any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as
Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such
party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture
Act; provided that
neither this Section 514 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 Trustee, the Company or the
Guarantors.
SECTION
515 Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension
Laws.
Each of
the Company and the Guarantors, in respect of Guaranteed Securities, 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 and the Guarantors, in respect of Guaranteed
Securities (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive
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.

-43-
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 609
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 609, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
Article Six.
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 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.
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 at any
time:
(1) the
Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 608 after written request therefor by
the Company or by any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for
at least six months, or
(2) the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 609 and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Company or by any such Holder,
or
(3) the
Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or
insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed or
any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its
property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or
liquidation,
then, in
any such case, (A) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the Trustee with
respect to all Securities, or (B) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of
himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and
the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
-44-
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 or removal, the Trustee resigning or being removed may
petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for
the appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such
series.
If the
Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy
shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with respect to the
Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall
promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect to the Securities
of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Trustee may
be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series
and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with respect to the
Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the applicable
requirements of Section 611. If, within one year after such resignation, removal
or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any series shall be appointed by Act of the Holders
of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series
delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so
appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance
with the applicable requirements of Section 611, become the successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series and to that extent supersede the
successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If no successor Trustee with respect
to the Securities of any series shall have been so appointed by the Company or
the Holders and accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 611, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least
six months may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee
with respect to the Securities of such series.
The
Company shall give notice of each resignation and each removal of the Trustee
with respect to the Securities of any series and each appointment of a successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series to all Holders of
Securities of such series in the manner provided in Section 106. Each notice
shall include the name of the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities
of such series and the address of its Corporate Trust Office.
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, the Guarantors 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, the Guarantors 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.
-45-
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 Guarantors, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to all Securities, shall
contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm
that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with
respect to the Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring
Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee, and
(3) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be
necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts
hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or
in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the
same trust and that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by
any other such Trustee; and upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental
indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become
effective to the extent provided therein and each such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the Company, the Guarantors 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 and the Guarantors shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in 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 Six.
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 Six, 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.
-46-
SECTION
613 Preferential Collection of Claims
Against Company.
If and
when the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company (or any other
obligor upon the Securities), the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act regarding the collection of claims against the Company
(or any such other obligor).
SECTION
614 Appointment of Authenticating
Agent.
The
Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one or
more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original issue and
upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or
pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to
the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section 614, 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 614, such Authenticating Agent shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Section
614.
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 614, 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 614.
-47-
The
Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to time reasonable
compensation for its services under this Section 607 as the Company and the
Authenticating Agent shall from time to time agree in writing.
If an
appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant to this Section
614, 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.

trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general
creditor, look only to the Company or the Guarantors, as the case may be, for

Article.
Securities

redeemable in accordance with their terms and (except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for such Securities) in accordance with this Article
Eleven.
SECTION
1102 Election to Redeem; Notice to
Trustee.
The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
such Securities. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
less than all the Securities of any series (including any such redemption
affecting only a single Security), the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to
the Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date, of the
principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed and, if applicable,
of the tenor of the Securities to be redeemed. In the case of any redemption of
Securities prior to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption
provided in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, the
Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate evidencing
compliance with such restriction.
SECTION
1103 Selection by Trustee of Securities
to Be Redeemed.
If less
than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed (unless all the
Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed or unless
such redemption affects only a single Security), the particular Securities to be
redeemed shall be selected not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by
the Trustee, from the Outstanding Securities of such series not previously
called for redemption, by such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and
appropriate and which may provide for the selection for redemption of a portion
of the principal amount of any Security of such series, provided that the unredeemed
portion of the principal amount of any Security shall be in an authorized
denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized denomination)
for such Security. If less than all the Securities of such series and of a
specified tenor are to be redeemed (unless such redemption affects only a single
Security), the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected not more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the Outstanding
Securities of such series and specified tenor not previously called for
redemption in accordance with the preceding sentence.
The
Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the Securities selected
for redemption as aforesaid and, in case of any Securities selected for partial
redemption as aforesaid, the principal amount thereof to be
redeemed.
-59-
The
provisions of the two preceding paragraphs shall not apply with respect to any
redemption affecting only a single Security, whether such Security is to be
redeemed in whole or in part. In the case of any such redemption in part, the
unredeemed portion of the principal amount of the Security shall be in an
authorized denomination (which shall not be less than the minimum authorized
denomination) for such Security.
For all
purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all
provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of
any Securities redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the
principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be
redeemed.
SECTION
1104 Notice of
Redemption.
Notice of
redemption shall be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less

All
notices of redemption shall identify the Securities to be redeemed, including
CUSIP number, if any, and shall state:
(1) the
Redemption Date,
(2) the
Redemption Price,
(3) if
less than all the Outstanding Securities of any series consisting of more than a
single Security are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of
partial redemption of any such Securities, the principal amounts) of the
particular Securities to be redeemed and, if less than all the Outstanding
Securities of any series consisting of a single Security are to be redeemed, the
principal amount of the particular Security to be redeemed,
(4) that
on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will become due and payable upon
each such Security to be redeemed and, if applicable, that interest thereon will
cease to accrue on and after said date,
(5) the
place or places where each such Security is to be surrendered for payment of the
Redemption Price, and
(6) that
the redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case.
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 made to the Trustee at least
35 days prior to the Redemption Date, by the Trustee in the name and at the
expense of the Company and shall be irrevocable.

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 or the Securities of the series provide otherwise) 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, if applicable, with accrued interest
to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that, unless
otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301, installments of interest
whose Stated Maturity is on or prior to the Redemption Date will be payable to
the Holders of such Securities, or one or more Predecessor Securities,
registered as such at the close of business on the relevant Record Dates
according to their terms and the provisions of Section 307.
If any
Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for
redemption, the principal and any premium shall, until paid, bear interest from
the Redemption Date at the rate prescribed therefor in the
Security.
SECTION
1107 Securities Redeemed in
Part.
Any
Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at a Place of
Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires, due
endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the
Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney

SECTION
1201 Applicability of
Article.
The
provisions of this Article Twelve 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.
-61-
The
minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of any
Securities is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any
payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of such
Securities is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund payment". If
provided for by the terms of any Securities, the cash amount of any sinking fund
payment may be subject to reduction as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking
fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities as provided for by
the terms of such Securities.
SECTION
1202 Satisfaction of Sinking Fund
Payments with Securities.
The
Company (1) may deliver Outstanding Securities of a series (other than any
previously called for redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a
series which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company pursuant
to the terms of such Securities or through the application of permitted optional
sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of such Securities, in each case in
satisfaction of all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to any
Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the terms of such
Securities as and to the extent provided for by the terms of such Securities;
provided 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 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any Securities, the
Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate
specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such
Securities pursuant to the terms of such Securities, the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash and the portion thereof, if
any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities pursuant to
Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to be so
delivered. Not less than 30 nor more than 45 days prior to each such
sinking fund payment date, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be
redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in
Section 1103 and cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the
name of and at the expense of the Company in the manner provided in
Section 1104. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such
Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in
Sections 1106 and 1107.
ARTICLE
THIRTEEN
DEFEASANCE
AND COVENANT DEFEASANCE
SECTION
1301 Company's Option to Effect
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
If
applicable to a particular series of Securities, the Company may elect, at its
option at any time, to have Section 1302 or Section 1303 applied to any
Securities or any series of Securities, as the case may be, designated pursuant
to Section 301 as being defeasible pursuant to such Section 1302 or 1303, in
accordance with any applicable requirements provided pursuant to Section 301 and
upon compliance with the conditions set forth below in this
Article Thirteen. Any such election shall be evidenced by a Board
Resolution or in another manner specified as contemplated by Section 301 for
such Securities.
-62-
SECTION
1302 Defeasance and
Discharge.
Upon the
Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section applied to any
applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case
may be, the Company and the Guarantors (with respect to Guaranteed Securities)
shall be deemed to have been discharged from its obligations with respect to
such Securities as provided in this Section on and after the date the conditions
set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied (hereinafter called "Defeasance"). For
this purpose, such Defeasance means that the Company and the Guarantors (with
respect to Guaranteed Securities) shall be deemed to have paid and discharged
the entire indebtedness represented by such Securities and to have satisfied all
its other obligations under such Securities and this Indenture insofar as such
Securities are concerned (and the Trustee, at the expense of the Company, shall
execute proper instruments acknowledging the same), subject to the following
which shall survive until otherwise terminated or discharged hereunder: (1) the
rights of Holders of such Securities to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1304 and as more fully set forth in such Section, payments
in respect of the principal of and any premium and interest on such Securities
when payments are due, (2) the Company's obligations with respect to such
Securities and the Guarantors' obligations with respect to Guaranteed Securities
under Sections 304, 305, 306, 1002 and 1003, (3) the rights, powers, trusts,
duties and immunities of the Trustee hereunder and (4) this Article Thirteen.
Subject to compliance with this Article, the Company may exercise its option (if
any) to have this Section 1302 applied to any applicable Securities
notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option (if any) to have Section 1303
applied to such Securities.
SECTION
1303 Covenant
Defeasance.
Upon the
Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this Section 1303 applied
to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as the
case may be, (1) each of the Company and the Guarantors (with respect to
Guaranteed Securities) shall be released from its obligations under Section
801(3), Sections 1005 through 1009, inclusive, and any covenants provided
pursuant to Section 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7) for the benefit of the Holders of
such Securities and (2) the occurrence of any event specified in Sections 501(4)
(with respect to any of Section 801(3), Sections 1006 through 1009, inclusive,
and any such covenants provided pursuant to Sections 301(18), 901(2) or 901(7)),
501(5) and 501(8) shall be deemed not to be or result in an Event of Default, in
each case with respect to such Securities as provided in this Section 1303
on and after the date the conditions set forth in Section 1304 are satisfied
(hereinafter called "Covenant Defeasance"). For this purpose, such Covenant
Defeasance means that, with respect to such Securities, the Company and the
Guarantors (with respect to Guaranteed Securities) may omit to comply with and
shall have no liability in respect of any term, condition or limitation set
forth in any such specified Section (to the extent so specified in the case of
Section 501(4)), whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference
elsewhere herein to any such Section or by reason of any reference in any such
Section to any other provision herein or in any other document, but the
remainder of this Indenture and such Securities shall be unaffected
thereby.
-63-
SECTION
1304 Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.
The
following shall be the conditions to the application of Section 1302 or Section
1303 to any applicable series of Securities or any Securities of such series, as
the case may be:
(1) The
Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be deposited with the
Trustee (or another trustee which satisfies the requirements contemplated by
Section 609 and agrees to comply with the provisions of this Article Thirteen
applicable to it) as trust funds in trust for the purpose of making the
following payments, specifically pledged as security for, and dedicated solely
to, the benefits of the Holders of such Securities, (A) money in an amount, or
(B) U.S. Government Obligations which through the scheduled payment of principal
and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide, not
later than one day before the due date of any payment, money in an amount, or
(C) a combination thereof, in each case sufficient, in the opinion of a
nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants expressed in a
written certification thereof delivered to the Trustee, to pay and discharge,
and which shall be applied by the Trustee (or any such other qualifying trustee)
to pay and discharge, the principal of and any premium and interest on such
Securities on the respective Stated Maturities, in accordance with the terms of
this Indenture and such Securities. As used herein, "U.S. Government Obligation"
means (x) any security which is (i) a direct obligation of the United States of
America for the payment of which the full faith and credit of the United States
of America is pledged or (ii) an obligation of a Person controlled or supervised
by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America
the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit
obligation by the United States of America, which, in either case (i) or (ii),
is not callable or redeemable at the option of the issuer thereof, and (y) any
depositary receipt issued by a bank (as defined in Section 3(a)(2) of the
Securities Act) as custodian with respect to any U.S. Government Obligation
which is specified in Clause (x) above and held by such bank for the account of
the holder of such depositary receipt, or with respect to any specific payment
of principal of or interest on any U.S. Government Obligation which is so
specified and held, provided that (except as
required by law) such custodian is not authorized to make any deduction from the
amount payable to the holder of such depositary receipt from any amount received
by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the specific
payment of principal or interest evidenced by such depositary
receipt.
(2) In
the event of an election to have Section 1302 apply to any applicable series of
Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (A) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue
Service a ruling or (B) since the date of this instrument, there has been a
change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case (A) or (B) to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the Holders
of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income tax
purposes as a result of the deposit, Defeasance and discharge to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if
such deposit, Defeasance and discharge were not to occur.
-64-
(3) In
the event of an election to have Section 1303 apply to any applicable series of
Securities or any Securities of such series, as the case may be, the Company
shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
Holders of such Securities will not recognize gain or loss for Federal income
tax purposes as a result of the deposit and Covenant Defeasance to be effected
with respect to such Securities and will be subject to Federal income tax on the
same amount, in the same manner and at the same times as would be the case if
such deposit and Covenant Defeasance were not to occur.
(4) The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the
effect that neither such Securities nor any other Securities of the same series,
if then listed on any securities exchange, will be delisted as a result of such
deposit.
(5) No
event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event
of Default with respect to such Securities or any other Securities shall have
occurred and be continuing at the time of such deposit or, with regard to any
such event specified in Sections 501(6) and (7), at any time on or prior to the
90th day after the date of such deposit (it being understood that this condition
shall not be deemed satisfied until after such 90th day).
(6) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not cause the Trustee to have a
conflicting interest within the meaning of the Trust Indenture Act (assuming all
Securities are in default within the meaning of the Trust Indenture
Act).
(7) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in a breach or violation of,
or constitute a default under, any other agreement or instrument to which the
Company is a party or by which it is bound.
(8) Such
Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance shall not result in the trust arising from
such deposit constituting an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act unless such trust shall be registered under such Act or
exempt from registration thereunder.
(9) The
Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an
Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent with respect to
such Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.
SECTION
1305 Deposited Money and U.S. Government
Obligations to Be Held in Trust; Miscellaneous Provisions.
Subject
to the provisions of the last paragraph of Section 1003, all money and U.S.
Government Obligations (including the proceeds thereof) deposited with the
Trustee or other qualifying trustee (solely for purposes of this Section 1305
and Section 1306, the Trustee and any such other trustee are referred to
collectively as the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1304 in respect of any
Securities shall be held in trust and applied by the Trustee, in accordance with
the provisions of such Securities and this Indenture, to the payment, either
directly or through any such Paying Agent (including the Company acting as its
own Paying Agent) as the Trustee may determine, to the Holders of such
Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon in respect of principal
and any premium and interest, but money so held in trust need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law.
-65-
The
Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee or other charge
imposed on or assessed against the U.S. Government Obligations deposited
pursuant to Section 1304 or the principal and interest received in respect
thereof other than any such tax, fee or other charge which by law is for the
account of the Holders of Outstanding Securities.
Anything
in this Article Thirteen to the contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall
deliver or pay to the Company from time to time upon Company Request any money
or U.S. Government Obligations held by it as provided in Section 1304 with
respect to any Securities which, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm
of independent public accountants expressed in a written certification thereof
delivered to the Trustee, are in excess of the amount thereof which would then
be required to be deposited to effect the Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance, as
the case may be, with respect to such Securities.
SECTION
1306 Reinstatement.
If the
Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in accordance with this
Article with respect to any Securities by reason of any order or judgment of any
court or governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting
such application, then the obligations under this Indenture and such Securities
from which the Company has been discharged or released pursuant to Section 1302
or 1303 shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred
pursuant to this Article with respect to such Securities, until such time as the
Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted to apply all money held in trust pursuant
to Section 1305 with respect to such Securities in accordance with this Article
Thirteen; provided,
however, that if the
Company makes any payment of principal of or any premium or interest on any such
Security following such reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be
subrogated to the rights (if any) of the Holders of such Securities to receive
such payment from the money so held in trust.
ARTICLE
FOURTEEN
GUARANTEE
SECTION
1401 The Guarantee
The
Guarantee set forth in this Article Fourteen shall only be in effect with
respect to Securities of a series to the extent such Guarantee is made
applicable to such series in accordance with Section 301. Each
Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Guaranteed
Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee the due and punctual payment
of the principal of, any premium and interest on, such Guaranteed Security,
whether at Stated Maturity, by acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise,
in accordance with the terms of such Guaranteed Security and this
Indenture. In case of the failure of the Company punctually to pay
any such principal, premium, interest or any additional amounts, each Guarantor
hereby agrees to cause any such payment to be made punctually when and as the
same shall become due and payable, whether at Stated Maturity, upon
acceleration, redemption, repayment or otherwise, and as if such payment were
made by the Company.
-66-
Each
Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as principal and
not merely as surety, and shall be absolute, irrevocable and unconditional,
irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or
unenforceability of any Guaranteed Security or this Indenture, any failure to
enforce the provisions of any Guaranteed Security or this Indenture, or any
waiver, modification, consent or indulgence granted with respect thereto by the
Holder of such Guaranteed Security or the Trustee, the recovery of any judgment
against the Company or any action to enforce the same, or any other
circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a
surety or guarantor; provided, however, that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no
such waiver, modification or indulgence shall, without the consent of the
Guarantors, increase the principal amount of such Security or the interest rate
thereon or impose or increase any premium payable upon redemption
thereof. Each Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand
of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger, insolvency or
bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the
Issuer, protest or notice with respect to any such Guaranteed Security or the
Indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that
this Guarantee will not be discharged except by payment in full of the principal
of, any premium and interest on, and any additional amounts required with
respect to, the Guaranteed Securities and the complete performance of all other
payment obligations contained in the Guaranteed Securities.
This
Guarantee shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be,
if at any time payment on any Guaranteed Security, in whole or in part, is
rescinded or must otherwise be repaid to the Company or the Guarantors upon the
bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of the Company, the Guarantors or
otherwise.
The
Guarantors shall be subrogated to all rights of the Holder of any Guaranteed
Security against the Company in respect of any amounts paid to such Holder by
the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of this Guarantee; provided, however, that the
Guarantors shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising
out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of, any
premium and interest on, and any additional amounts required with respect to,
all Guaranteed Securities shall have been paid in full.
