requirements of the Trust Indenture Act and any other requirements set forth in
this Indenture.
Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include
(1) a statement that each individual signing such certificate or
opinion has read such covenant or condition and the definitions herein
relating thereto;
(2) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the examination or
investigation upon which the statements or opinions contained in such
certificate or opinion are based;

Section 103. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
--------------------------------------
In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.
Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the Company may be based,
insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the exercise of
reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or representations
with respect to the matters upon which his certificate or opinion is based are
erroneous. Any such certificate or opinion of counsel may be based, insofar as
it relates to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or
representations by, an officer or officers of the Company stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Company, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.
Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or more
applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or other
instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated and
form one instrument.
Section 104. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.
-----------------------------
(a) 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
-11-
instruments are delivered to a Responsible Officer of 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.
(b) 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.
(c) The Company may, in the circumstances permitted by the Trust
Indenture Act, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the
Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to
vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders of
Securities of such series. If not set by the Company prior to the first
solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any Person in
respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such
vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if
later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided
pursuant to Section 701) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case
may be. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of
one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such series
on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or
take, or vote on, the relevant action.
(d) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.
-12-
(e) 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.
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 a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at its Corporate Trust
Office, Attention: Corporate Trust Trustee Administration, or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient
for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if
in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company
addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the
first paragraph of this instrument or at any other address previously
furnished in writing to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee by the
Company.
Section 106. Notice to Holders; Waiver.
-------------------------
Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such
notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided)
if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder affected
by such event, at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not later
than the latest date (if any), and not earlier than the earliest date (if any),
prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Holders
is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any
notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Holders. Any notice mailed to a Holder in the
manner herein prescribed shall be conclusively deemed to have been received by
such Holder, whether or not such Holder actually receives such notice. Where
this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such
-13-
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 a Responsible
Officer 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 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.
Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.

The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 109. Successors and Assigns.

bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 110. Separability Clause.
-------------------
In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of
the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 111. Benefits of Indenture.
---------------------
Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied,
shall give to any Person, other than the
-14-
parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders, any benefit or
any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 112. Governing Law.
-------------
THIS INDENTURE AND THE SECURITIES SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICTS
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
Section 113. Legal Holidays.
--------------

Maturity or Maturity of any Security shall not be a Business Day at any Place of
Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities (other than a provision of the Securities of any series 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, the Redemption Date, or at the Stated Maturity or
Maturity.

Stock (or at the current adjusted conversion price if an adjustment has been

thereafter, during the period this Security shall be convertible as specified
above, only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon the consolidation, merger or transfer by a holder of the number
of shares of Common Stock into which this Security might have been converted
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger or transfer (assuming such
holder of Common Stock failed to exercise any rights of election and received
per share the kind and amount received per share by a plurality of non-electing
shares), assuming, if such consolidation, merger or transfer is prior to [insert
date upon which the Securities first become convertible], that this Security was
convertible at the time of such consolidation, merger or transfer at the initial
conversion price specified above as adjusted from _________________, to such
time pursuant to the Indenture.]
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities at
the time Outstanding of each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains
provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in principal amount
of the Securities of each series at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the
Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by the Company
with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all
future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration
of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.

Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the

premium and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the
coin or currency, herein prescribed.

therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security
Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the

premium and interest on this Security are payable, duly endorsed by, or

attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of
this series and of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same
aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
The Securities of this series are issuable only in registered form
without coupons in denominations of $....... and any integral multiple thereof.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, Securities of this series are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal
amount of Securities of this series and of like tenor of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer
or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither

contrary.

of any one series need not be issued at the same time and, unless otherwise

issuances of additional Securities of such series.
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
-28-
Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee
at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting forth, or
providing the manner for determining, the terms of the series.
Section 302. Denominations.
-------------
The Securities of each series shall be issuable in registered form
without coupons in such denominations as shall be specified as contemplated by
Section 301. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable in
denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
Section 303. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and
Dating.
---------------------------------------
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its
Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President, its Chief
Financial Officer or one of its Vice Presidents, under its corporate seal
reproduced thereon attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant
Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be
manual or facsimile.
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 or make available for
delivery such Securities; provided, however, that, in the case of Securities of
-------- -------
a series that are not to be originally issued at one time, the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver or make available for delivery such Securities from
time to time in accordance with such other procedures (including, without
limitation, the receipt by the Trustee of oral or electronic instructions from
the Company or its duly authorized agents, promptly confirmed in writing)
acceptable to the Trustee as may be specified by or pursuant
-29-
to a Company Order delivered to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee prior to
the time of the first authentication of Securities of such series. If the form
or terms of the Securities of the series have been established in 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
conclusively relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating,
(a) 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;
(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 form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be
required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities
pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or
immunities under the Securities and this Indenture or otherwise in a manner
which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 301 and of the preceding
paragraph, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one
time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise
required pursuant to Section 301 or the Company Order and Opinion of Counsel
otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraph at or prior to the time
of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents, with
appropriate modifications to cover such future issuances,
-30-
are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the
first Security of such series to be issued.
If the Company shall establish pursuant to Section 301 that the
Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one
or more Book-Entry Securities, then the Company shall execute and the Trustee
shall, in accordance with this Section and the Company Order with respect to
such series, authenticate and deliver or make available for delivery one or more
Securities in such form that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of
such series to be represented by such Book-Entry Security or Securities, (ii)
shall be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Book-Entry Security
or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be delivered by the
Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instruction and (iv)
shall bear the legend set forth in Section 204.
Unless otherwise established pursuant to Section 301, each Depositary
designated pursuant to Section 301 for a Book-Entry Security must, at the time
of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary, be a clearing
agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and any other
applicable statute or regulation. The Trustee shall have no responsibility to
determine if the Depositary is so registered. Each Depositary shall enter into
an agreement with the Trustee governing the respective duties and rights of such
Depositary and the Trustee with regard to Book-Entry Securities.
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
-31-
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 or make available for delivery, 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 or make available for delivery in
exchange therefor one or more definitive Securities of the same series, of any
authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.
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.
-32-
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security of any
series at the office or agency in a Place of Payment for that series, the
Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver or make
available for delivery, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees,
one or more new Securities of the same series, of any authorized denominations
and of a like aggregate principal amount and tenor.
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
a like aggregate principal amount and tenor, 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 or make available for delivery, 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, the Security Registrar or
the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company, the Security Registrar and the
Trustee duly executed, by the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in
writing.
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient
to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection
with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Section 304, 906 or 1107 not involving any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer
of or exchange Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening
of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of that series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending
at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (ii) to register the
transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole
-33-
or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any Security being redeemed in
part.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Book-Entry Security shall be
exchangeable pursuant to this Section 305 for Securities registered in the names
of Persons other than the Depositary for such Security or its nominee only if
(i) such Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to
continue as Depositary for such Book-Entry Security or if at any time such
Depositary ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) the Company executes and delivers to the
Trustee a Company Order that such Book-Entry Security shall be so exchangeable
or (iii) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default with
respect to the Securities. Any Book-Entry Security that is exchangeable
pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be exchangeable for Securities
registered in such names as such Depositary shall direct.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities that are not in the
form of a Book-Entry Security, a Book-Entry Security may not be transferred or
exchanged except as a whole by the Depositary with respect to such Book-Entry
Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to
such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary.
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 or make available
for delivery in exchange therefor a new Security of the same series and of like
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
If there shall be delivered to the Company and the Trustee (i)
evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save
each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of
notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen
Security, a new Security of the same series and of like
-34-
tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
outstanding.
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has
become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may,
instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company
may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
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 at the office or agency maintained for such purpose pursuant
to Section 1002; provided, however, that at the option of the Company, interest
-------- -------
on Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid (i) by check mailed
to the address of the Person entitled thereto as it shall appear on the Security
Register or (ii) by wire transfer to an account maintained by the Person
entitled thereto as specified in the Security Register.
Any interest on any Security of any series which is payable, but is
not punctually paid or duly provided for,
-35-
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 mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of Securities of
such series at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less
than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed
payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor
having been so mailed, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons
in whose names the Securities of such series (or their respective
Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such
Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the
following Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the
Securities of any series in any other
-36-
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.
In the case of any Security which is converted after any Regular
Record Date and on or prior to the next succeeding Interest Payment Date (other
than any Security whose Maturity is prior to such Interest Payment Date),
interest whose Stated Maturity is on such Interest Payment Date shall be payable
on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding such conversion, and such interest
(whether or not punctually paid or duly provided for) 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 such Regular Record Date. Except as
otherwise expressly provided in the immediately preceding sentence, in the case
of any Security which is converted, interest whose Stated Maturity is after the
date of conversion of such Security shall not be payable.
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
-37-
delivered to the Trustee. All Securities so delivered and any Securities
surrendered directly to the Trustee for any such purpose shall be promptly
cancelled by the Trustee and such cancellation shall be noted conspicuously on
each such Security. 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 authen ticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided in this Section, except as
expressly permitted by this Indenture. Unless the Company directs otherwise by a
Company Order, all cancelled Securities held by the Trustee may be destroyed,
but the Trustee shall not be obligated to so destroy such Securities, and, if
any such cancelled Security is destroyed, the Trustee shall furnish to the
Company a certificate with respect to such destruction.
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 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 CUSIP numbers. The Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP numbers.

ARTICLE FOUR

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of
Indenture.

Company
and the Company, in the case of (B)(i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose
an amount in the currency or currencies or currency unit or units in which such
Securities are payable sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness
on such Securities not theretofore

Subject to 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.
ARTICLE FIVE

"Event of Default", wherever used herein with respect to Securities of
any series, means any one of the following events (whatever the reason for such

-42-
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of
corporate action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or
(8) any other Event of Default provided with respect to Securities of
that series.
Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission
and Annulment.
------------------------------------
If an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default described in
clause 6 or 7 of Section 501) with respect to Securities of any series at the
time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such case the Trustee
or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of that series may declare the principal amount (or, if any of the
Securities of that series are Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed
Securities, such portion of the principal amount of such Securities as may be
specified in the terms thereof) of all of the Securities of that series to be
due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the
Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal
amount (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount Securities or Indexed
Securities, such specified amount) shall become immediately due and payable.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration with respect to
Securities of any series has been made and before a judgment or decree for
payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as hereinafter in this
Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and the
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue interest on all Securities of that series,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any Securities of
that series which have become due otherwise than by such declaration of
acceleration and any interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities,
-43-
(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.
If an Event of Default described in clause 6 or 7 of Section 501
occurs, the Outstanding Securities shall ipso facto become immediately due and
payable without need of any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee
or any Holder.
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
-44-
shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including
the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the
Trustee, its agents and counsel.
If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series occurs
and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such series by
such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual
to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of
any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any
power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.
Section 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
--------------------------------
In case of any judicial proceeding relative to the Company (or any
other obligor upon the Securities), its property or its creditors, the Trustee
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding or
otherwise, to take any and all actions authorized under the Trust Indenture Act
in 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 may be a member of a
creditors' or other similar committee.
-45-
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: The balance, if any, 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
hereunder, unless
-46-
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of
a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of that
series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to
the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default in
its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee reasonable
indemnity 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 before or 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 Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any
other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner
herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all 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)
any interest on such Security on the Stated Maturity or 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.
-47-
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 and as otherwise provided in Section 507, 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.
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
--------
-48-
(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
(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,
including counsel fees and expenses, 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, the Trustee or the Holders of 10% aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series.
-49-
Section 515. Waiver of Usury, Stay or Extension Laws.
---------------------------------------
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that
it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim
or take the benefit or advantage of, any usury, stay or extension law wherever
enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants
or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law
and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any
power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of
every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE SIX
The Trustee
Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities.
-----------------------------------
The duties and responsibilities of the Trustee shall be as provided by
the Trust Indenture Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no provision of this
Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise
incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder,
or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable
grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against
such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. Whether or not therein
expressly so provided, every provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct
or affecting the liability of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be
subject to the provisions of this Section.
Section 602. Notice of Defaults.
------------------
If a default occurs hereunder with respect to Securities of any
series, the Trustee shall give the Holders of Securities of such series notice
of such default as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act;
provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
-------- -------
Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series, no such notice to
Holders shall be given until at least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For
the purpose of this Section, the term "default" means any event which is, or

-50-
become, an Event of Default with respect to Securities of such series.
Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee.

rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction

costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance
with such request or direction;
(f) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent,
-51-
order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper
or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further
inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and,
if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or

premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney at the sole
cost of the Company and shall incur no liability or additional liability of
any kind by reason of such inquiry or investigation;
(g) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys and the Trustee shall not be responsible for any misconduct or
negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed with due care by
it hereunder;
(h) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered, or
omitted to be taken by it in good faith and reasonably believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it
by this Indenture; and

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.
Section 604. Not Responsible for Recitals or
Issuance of Securities.
-------------------------------
The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, except the
Trustee's certificates of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of
the Company, and neither the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent assumes any
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations as
to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. Neither
the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent shall be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.
Section 605. May Hold Securities.
-------------------
The Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent, any Security
Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its individual or any other
capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and, subject to Sections
-52-
608 and 613, may otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would
have if it were not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.
Subject to the provisions of Section 608, the Trustee may become and
act as trustee under other indentures under which other securities, or
certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company
are outstanding in the same manner as if it were not Trustee.
Section 606. Money Held in Trust.
-------------------
Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law. The Trustee shall be
under no liability for interest on any money received by it hereunder except as
otherwise agreed in writing with the Company.
Section 607. Compensation and Reimbursement.
------------------------------
The Company agrees
(1) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as shall
be agreed between the Company and the Trustee for all services rendered by
it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of
law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision
of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses
and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
faith; and
(3) to indemnify each of the Trustee, or any predecessor Trustee, for,
and to hold it harmless against, any and all loss, liability, damage, claim
or expense incurred without negligence or willful misconduct 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
-53-
its powers or duties hereunder and the costs and expenses of enforcing this
right of indemnification.
The Trustee shall have a lien prior to the Securities as to all
property and funds held by it hereunder for any amount owing it or any
predecessor Trustee pursuant to this Section 607, except with respect to funds
held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities.
When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services in connection
with an Event of Default specified in Section 501(6) or Section 501(7), the
expenses (including the reasonable charges and expenses of its counsel) and the
compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of
administration under any applicable Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law.
The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this
Indenture and the resignation or removal of the Trustee.
Section 608. Disqualification; 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.
Section 609. Corporate Trustee Required;
Eligibility.
---------------------------
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be a
Person that is eligible pursuant to the Trust Indenture Act to act as such and
has a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and an office in the
Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York at which at any particular time the
Trustee's corporate trust business may be administered. If such Person
publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the
requirements of any Federal or state supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, 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
shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it
shall
-54-
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article.
Section 610. Resignation and Removal;
Appointment of Successor.
------------------------
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and 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.
(b) 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, 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.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such series, delivered to the Trustee and to
the Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 611 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of removal, the Trustee 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.
(d) 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
-55-
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, (i) the Company by or pursuant to a Board Resolution may
remove the Trustee and appoint a successor Trustee with respect to all
Securities, or (ii) subject to Section 514, any Holder who has been a bona fide
Holder of a Security for at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all
others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
removal of the Trustee with respect to all Securities and the appointment of a
successor Trustee or Trustees.
(e) 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 or pursuant to
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.
(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of the Trustee with respect to the
-56-
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.
----------------------------
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such
successor Trustee all the rights, powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and
shall duly assign, transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee all property
and money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which (1) shall
contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to transfer and
confirm to, and to vest in, each successor Trustee all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that
or those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates, (2)
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
-57-
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;

such retiring Trustee shall transfer and deliver to such successor Trustee such
property and money upon payment of its charges hereunder.
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall

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
-58-
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

the Company (or any such other obligor).
Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
-----------------------------------
The Trustee may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect
to one or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf
of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon original
issue and upon exchange, registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof
or pursuant to Section 306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled
to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all
purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is
made in this Indenture to the authentication and delivery of Securities by the
Trustee or the Trustee's certificate of authentication, such reference shall be
deemed to include authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of
the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be
acceptable to the Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or state authority. If such
Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant
to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then
for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such
Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time
an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, such
-59-
Authenticating Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be merged or
converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting
from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such Authenticating
Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially
all 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 mail written notice of
such appointment by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to all Holders of
Securities of the series with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will
serve, as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register. Any
successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder
shall become vested with all the rights, powers and duties of its predecessor
hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an Authenticating Agent.
No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the
provisions of this section.
The Company agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time to
time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made pursuant
to this Section, the Securities of such series may have endorsed thereon, in
addition to or in lieu of the Trustee's certificate of authentication, an
alternative certificate of authentication in the following form:
-60-
This is one of the Securities of the series designated therein
referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.

demands to or upon the Company in respect of the Securities of that series and

such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and
-68-

designation or rescission and of any change in the location of any such other
office or agency.

segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a
sum sufficient to pay the principal and any premium and interest so becoming due
until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to
act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any
series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of or any
premium or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a Paying
Agent a sum sufficient to pay such amount, such sum to be held as provided by

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 (i) comply with the provisions of
the Trust Indenture Act applicable to it as a Paying Agent and (ii) 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, and upon the written request of the Trustee,
forthwith pay to
-69-
the Trustee all sums held in trust by such Paying Agent for payment in respect
of the Securities of that series.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or for any other purpose, pay, or
by Company Order direct any Paying Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in
trust by the Company or such Paying Agent, such sums to be held by the Trustee
upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the Company or
such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the Trustee,
such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with respect to
such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or then held
by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of or any premium or
interest on any Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two years
after such principal, premium or interest has become due and payable shall be
paid to the Company on Company Request, or (if then held by the Company) shall
be discharged from such trust; and the Holder of such Security shall thereafter,
as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Company for payment thereof,
and all liability of the Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust
money, and all liability of the Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon
cease; provided, however, that the Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being
-------- -------
required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of the Company cause to
be published once, in a newspaper published in the English language, customarily
published on each Business Day and of general circulation in The City of New

replacements, betterments and improvements thereof, all as in the judgment of
the Company may be necessary or appropriate in connection with its business;
provided, however, that nothing in this Section shall prevent the Company from
-------- -------
discontinuing the operation or maintenance of, or selling, abandoning or
otherwise disposing of, any of such properties if such discontinuance or
disposal is, in the judgment of the Company, desirable in the conduct of its
business or the business of any Subsidiary and not disadvantageous in any
material respect to the Holders.

---------------------------------
The Company will pay or discharge or cause to be paid or discharged,
before the same shall become delinquent, (1) all material taxes, assessments and
governmental charges levied or imposed upon the Company or any Subsidiary or
upon the income, profits or property of the Company or any Subsidiary, and (2)
all lawful claims for labor, materials and supplies which, if unpaid, might by
law become a lien upon the property of the Company or any Subsidiary; provided,

-------
be paid or discharged any such tax, assessment, charge or claim whose amount,
applicability or validity is being contested in good faith by appropriate
proceedings.

---------------------------
The Company may omit in any particular instance to comply with any
term, provision or condition set forth in Sections 1005 to 1007, inclusive, with
respect to the Securities of any series if before or after the time for such
compliance the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall, by Act of such Holders, either
waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such
term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such
term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and,
until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Company and the
duties of the Trustee in respect of any such term, provision or condition shall
remain in full force and effect.
Section 1009. Calculation of Original Issue Discount.
--------------------------------------
If the Trustee is requested or required to send Form 1099 (or any
successor form) to Holders of Original Issue Discount Securities, the Company
shall file with the Trustee promptly at the end of each calendar year (i) a
written notice specifying the amount of original issue discount (including daily
rates and accrual periods) accrued on Outstanding Securities as of the end of

Section 1101. Applicability of Article.
------------------------
Securities of any series which are redeemable in whole or in part
before their Stated Maturity shall be redeemable in accordance with their terms
and (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 301 for Securities
of any series) 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 or pursuant to a Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at
the election of the Company of the Securities of any series, the Company
-72-
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 of the Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be
redeemed), 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 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 of the
Securities of such series and of a specified tenor are to be redeemed, 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 and, in the case of any Securities selected
for partial redemption, 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.
-73-
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 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price.
---------------------------
Prior to 12:00 noon New York City time on any Redemption Date, the
Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying Agent (or, if the
Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold in trust as
provided in Section 1003) an amount of money in the currency or currencies in
which the Securities of such series are payable (except as otherwise specified
pursuant to Section 301 for the Securities of such series) 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 or portions thereof which

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

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 Company's obligation to pay interest on
the principal and any premium shall, until paid, accrue from the Redemption Date
at the rate prescribed therefor in the Security.
Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part.
---------------------------
Any Security which is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered
at a Place of Payment therefor (with, if the Company or the Trustee so requires,
due endorsement by, or a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Trustee duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing), and the Company shall execute, and the Trustee
shall authenticate
-75-
and deliver or make available for delivery to the Holder of such Security
without service charge, a new Security or Securities of the same series and of
like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by such Holder, in
aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion
of the principal of the Security so surrendered.
ARTICLE TWELVE
Sinking Funds
Section 1201. Applicability of Article.
------------------------
The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to any sinking fund
for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as
contemplated by Section 301 for Securities of such series.
The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the
terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as a "mandatory sinking
fund payment", and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by
the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as an "optional
sinking fund payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be subject to reduction
as provided in Section 1202. Each sinking fund payment shall be applied to the
redemption of Securities of any series as provided for by the terms of
Securities of such series.
Section 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 the Securities of such series required to be made
pursuant to the terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such
series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited.
--------
Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee
at the Redemption Price specified in such
-76-
Securities 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 45 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any
series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for
that series pursuant to the terms of that series, 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 of that series
pursuant to Section 1202 and will also deliver to the Trustee any Securities to
be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each such sinking fund payment
date the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking
fund payment date in the manner specified in Section 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
Subordination of Securities
Section 1301. Securities Subordinate to Senior Debt.
-------------------------------------
The Company covenants and agrees, and each Holder of a Security, by
his acceptance thereof, likewise covenants and agrees, that, to the extent and
in the manner hereinafter set forth in this Article (subject to the provisions
of Article Four and Article Fifteen), the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) and interest on each and all of the Securities (including any
amounts payable upon a purchase of the Securities) are hereby expressly made
subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all
Senior Debt.
Section 1302. Payment Over of Proceeds Upon Dissolution,
------------------------------------------
Etc.
----
In the event of (a) any insolvency or bankruptcy case or proceeding,
or any receivership, liquidation, reorganization or other similar case or
proceeding in connection therewith, relative to the Company or to its creditors,
as
-77-
such, or to its assets, or (b) any liquidation, dissolution or other winding up
of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary and whether or not involving
insolvency or bankruptcy, or (c) any assignment for the benefit of creditors or
any other marshalling of assets and liabilities of the Company, then and in any
such event specified in (a), (b) or (c) above (each such event, if any, herein
sometimes referred to as a "Proceeding") the holders of Senior Debt shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in
respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash
or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of
Senior Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any
payment or distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or
securities, on account of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on or
other obligations in respect of the Securities or on account of any purchase or
other acquisition of Securities by the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company
(all such payments, distributions, purchases and acquisitions herein referred
to, individually and collectively, as a "Securities Payment"), and to that end
the holders of Senior Debt shall be entitled to receive, for application to the
payment thereof, any Securities Payment which may be payable or deliverable in
respect of the Securities in any such Proceeding.
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this
Section, the Trustee or the Holder of any Security shall have received any
Securities Payment before all Senior Debt is paid in full or payment thereof
provided for in cash or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory
to the holders of Senior Debt, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the time
of such Securities Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the case
may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall be
paid over or delivered forthwith to the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver,
liquidating trustee, custodian, assignee, agent or other Person making payment
or distribution of assets of the Company for application to the payment of all
Senior Debt remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in
full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for
the holders of Senior Debt.
For purposes of this Article only, the words "any payment or
distribution of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities"
shall not be deemed to include a payment or distribution of stock or securities
of the Company provided for by a plan of reorganization or read-
-78-
justment authorized by an order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction
in a reorganization proceeding under any applicable bankruptcy law or of any
other corporation provided for by such plan of reorganization or readjustment
which stock or securities are subordinated in right of payment to all then
outstanding Senior Debt to substantially the same extent as the Securities are
so subordinated as provided in this Article. The consolidation of the Company
with, or the merger of the Company into, another Person or the liquidation or
dissolution of the Company following the conveyance or transfer of all or
substantially all of its properties and assets as an entirety to another Person
upon the terms and conditions set forth in Article Eight shall not be deemed a
Proceeding for the purposes of this Section if the Person formed by such
consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person which acquires
by conveyance or transfer such properties and assets as an entirety, as the case
may be, shall, as a part of such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer,
comply with the conditions set forth in Article Eight.
Section 1303. No Payment When Senior Debt in
------------------------------
Default.
-------
In the event that any Securities are declared due and payable before
their Stated Maturity, then in such event the holders of the Senior Debt
outstanding at the time of such Securities so become due and payable shall be
entitled to receive payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on or in
respect of all Senior Debt, or provision shall be made for such payment in cash
or cash equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of such
Senior Debt, before the Holders of the Securities are entitled to receive any
Securities Payment.
In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment
of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Senior Debt beyond any
applicable grace period with respect thereto, or in the event that any event of
default with respect to any Senior Debt shall have occurred and be continuing
permitting the holders of such Senior Debt (or a trustee on behalf of the
holders thereof) to declare such Senior Debt due and payable prior to the date
on which it would otherwise have become due and payable, unless and until such
event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist
and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, or in the event any
judicial proceeding shall be pending with respect to any such default in payment
or event of default, then no Securities Payment shall be made; provided,
--------
however,
-------
-79-
that nothing in this paragraph shall prevent the satisfaction of any sinking
fund payment in accordance with Article Twelve by delivering and crediting
pursuant to Section 1202 Securities which have been acquired (upon redemption or
otherwise).
In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall
make any Securities Payment to the Trustee or any Holder prohibited by the
foregoing provisions of this Section, and if such fact shall, at or prior to the
time of such Securities Payment, have been made known to the Trustee or, as the
case may be, such Holder, then and in such event such Securities Payment shall
be paid over and delivered forthwith to the Company.
The provisions of this Section shall not apply to any Securities
Payment with respect to which Section 1302 would be applicable.
Section 1304. Payment Permitted If No Default.
-------------------------------
Nothing contained in this Article or elsewhere in this Indenture or in
any of the Securities shall prevent (a) the Company, at any time except during
the pendency of any Proceeding referred to in Section 1302 or under the
conditions described in Section 1303, from making Securities Payments, or (b)
the application by the Trustee of any money deposited with it hereunder to
Securities Payments or the retention of such Securities Payment by the Holders,
if, at the time of such application by the Trustee, it did not have knowledge
that such Securities Payment would have been prohibited by the provisions of
this Article.
Section 1305. Subrogation to Rights of Holders of Senior
------------------------------------------
Debt.
----
Subject to the payment in full of all amounts due or to become due on
or in respect of Senior Debt, or the provision for such payment in cash or cash
equivalents or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the holders of Senior Debt,
the Holders of the Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders
of such Senior Debt to receive payments and distributions of cash, property and
securities applicable to the Senior Debt until the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on the Securities shall be paid in full. For purposes of such
subrogation, no payments or distributions to the holders of the Senior Debt of
any cash, property or securities to which the Holders of the Securities or the
Trustee would be entitled except for the provisions of this Article, and no
payments over pursuant to
-80-
the provisions of this Article to the holders of Senior Debt by Holders of the
Securities or the Trustee, shall, as among the Company, its creditors other than
holders of Senior Debt and the Holders of the Securities, be deemed to be a
payment or distribution by the Company to or on account of the Senior Debt.
Section 1306. Provisions Solely to Define Relative Rights.
-------------------------------------------
The provisions of this Article are and are intended solely for the
purpose of defining the relative rights of the Holders on the one hand and the
holders of Senior Debt on the other hand. Nothing contained in this Article or
elsewhere in this Indenture or in the Securities is intended to or shall (a)
impair, as among the Company, its creditors other than holders of Senior Debt
and the Holders of the Securities, the obligation of the Company, which is
absolute and unconditional (and which, subject to the rights under this Article
of the holders of Senior Debt, is intended to rank equally with all other
general obligations of the Company), to pay to the Holders of the Securities
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Securities as and
when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms; or
(b) affect the relative rights against the Company of the Holders of the
Securities and creditors of the Company other than the holders of Senior Debt;
or (c) prevent the Trustee or the Holder of any Security from exercising all
remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this
Indenture, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article of the holders of
Senior Debt to receive cash, property and securities otherwise payable or
deliverable to the Trustee or such Holder.
Section 1307. Trustee to Effectuate Subordination.
-----------------------------------
Each Holder of a Security by his acceptance thereof authorizes and
directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this Article and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes.
Section 1308. No Waiver of Subordination Provisions.
-------------------------------------
No right of any present or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce
subordination as herein provided shall at any time in any way be prejudiced or
impaired by any act or failure to act on the part of the Company or by any act
or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
-81-
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms, provisions and
covenants of this Indenture, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such
holder may have or be otherwise charged with.
Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing paragraph,
the holders of Senior Debt may, at any time and from time to time, without the
consent of or notice to the Trustee or the Holders of the Securities, without
incurring responsibility to the Holders of the Securities and without impairing
or releasing the subordination provided in this Article or the obligations
hereunder of the Holders of the Securities to the holders of Senior Debt, do any
one or more of the following: (i) change the manner, place or terms of payment
or extend the time of payment of, or renew or alter, Senior Debt, or otherwise
amend or supplement in any manner Senior Debt or any instrument evidencing the
same or any agreement under which Senior Debt is outstanding; (ii) sell,
exchange, release or otherwise deal with any property pledged, mortgaged or
otherwise securing Senior Debt; (iii) release any Person liable in any manner
for the collection of Senior Debt; and (iv) exercise or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Company and any other Person.
Section 1309. Notice to Trustee.
-----------------
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
fact known to the Company which would prohibit the making of any payment to or
by the Trustee in respect of the Securities. Notwithstanding the provisions of
this Article or any other provision of this Indenture, the Trustee shall not be
charged with knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the
making of any payment to or by the Trustee in respect of the Securities, unless
and until the Trustee shall have received written notice thereof from the
Company or a holder of Senior Debt or from any trustee therefor; and, prior to
the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee, subject to the provisions
of Section 601, shall be entitled in all respects to assume that no such facts
exist; provided, however, that if the Trustee shall not have received the notice
-------- -------
provided for in this Section at least two Business Days prior to the date upon
which by the terms hereof any money may become payable for any purpose
(including, without limitation, the payment of the principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest on any Security), then, anything herein contained to the
contrary notwithstanding, the Trustee shall have full power and authority to
receive such money and to apply the same to the purpose for which such money was
received and
-82-
shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary which may be received by it
within two Business Days prior to such date.
Subject to the provisions of Section 601, the Trustee shall be
entitled to rely on the delivery to it of a written notice by a Person
representing himself to be a holder of Senior Debt (or a trustee therefor) to
establish that such notice has been given by a holder of Senior Debt (or a
trustee therefor). In the event that the Trustee determines in good faith that
further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person as a holder
of Senior Debt to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this
Article, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the
reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Debt held by
such Person, the extent to which such Person is entitled to participate in such
payment or distribution and any other facts pertinent to the rights of such
Person under this Article, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee
may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the
right of such Person to receive such payment.
Section 1310. Reliance on Judicial Order or Certificate of
--------------------------------------------
Liquidating Agent.
-----------------
Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Company referred to
in this Article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 601, and the
Holders of the Securities shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
entered by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such Proceeding is
pending, or a certificate of the trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, liquidating
trustee, custodian, assignee for the benefit of creditors, agent or other Person
making such payment or distribution, delivered to the Trustee or to the Holders
of Securities, for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to
participate in such payment or distribution, the holders of the Senior Debt and
other indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the
amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent
thereto or to this Article.
Section 1311. Trustee Not Fiduciary for Holders of Senior
-------------------------------------------
Debt.
----
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Debt and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall
in good faith mis-
-83-
takenly pay over or distribute to Holders of Securities or to the Company or to
any other Person cash, property or securities to which any holders of Senior
Debt shall be entitled by virtue of this Article or otherwise.
Section 1312. Rights of Trustee as Holder of Senior
-------------------------------------
Debt; Preservation of Trustee's Rights.
--------------------------------------
The Trustee in its individual capacity shall be entitled to all the
rights set forth in this Article with respect to any Senior Debt which may at
any time be held by it, to the same extent as any other holder of Senior Debt,
and nothing in this Indenture shall deprive the Trustee of any of its rights as
such holder.
Nothing in this Article shall apply to claims of, or payments to, the
Trustee under or pursuant to Section 607.
Section 1313. Article Applicable to Paying Agents.
-----------------------------------
In case at any time any Paying Agent other than the Trustee shall have
been appointed by the Company and be then acting hereunder, the term "Trustee"
as used in this Article shall in such case (unless the context otherwise
requires) be construed as extending to and including such Paying Agent within
its meaning as fully for all intents and purposes as if such Paying Agent were
named in this Article in addition to or in place of the Trustee; provided,
--------
however, that Section 1312 shall not apply to the Company or any Affiliate of
-------
the Company if it or such Affiliate acts as Paying Agent.
Section 1314. Defeasance of this Article Thirteen.
-----------------------------------
The subordination of the Securities provided by this Article Thirteen
is expressly made subject to the provisions for defeasance or covenant
defeasance in Article Fifteen hereof and, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, upon the effectiveness of any such defeasance or covenant
defeasance, the Securities then outstanding shall thereupon cease to be
subordinated pursuant to this Article Thirteen.
-84-
ARTICLE FOURTEEN
Conversion of Securities
Section 1401. Applicability of Article.
------------------------
If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for the conversion of
Securities pursuant to this Article Fourteen, then the provisions of this
Article Fourteen, with such modifications thereto as may be specified pursuant
to Section 301 with respect to any Securities, shall be applicable to the
Securities of such series.
Section 1402. Conversion Privilege and Conversion Price.
-----------------------------------------
Subject to and upon compliance with the provisions of this Article, at
the option of the Holder thereof, any Security or any portion of the principal
amount thereof which is $1,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 may be
converted at the principal amount thereof, or of such portion thereof, into
fully paid and nonassessable shares (calculated as to each conversion to the
nearest 1/100 of a share) of Common Stock of the Company, at the conversion
price, determined as hereinafter provided, in effect at the time of conversion.
Such conversion right shall commence at the opening of business on the date
provided for with respect to such Securities and expire at the close of business
on the date provided for with respect to such Securities. In case a Security or
portion thereof is called for redemption, such conversion right in respect of
the Security or portion so called shall expire at the close of business on the
Redemption Date, unless the Company defaults in making the payment due upon
redemption.
The price at which shares of Common Stock shall be delivered upon
conversion is herein referred to as the "conversion price". The conversion
price shall be adjusted in certain instances as provided in Section 1405.
Section 1403. Exercise of Conversion Privilege.
--------------------------------
In order to exercise the conversion privilege, the Holder of any
Security to be converted shall surrender such Security, duly endorsed or
assigned to the Company or in blank, at any office or agency of the Company
maintained for that purpose pursuant to Section 1002, accompanied by written
notice to the Company at such office or agency that the Holder elects to convert
such Security or, if less than the entire principal amount thereof is to be
converted, the portion thereof to be converted. Securities surrendered for
-85-
conversion during the period from the close of business on any Regular Record
Date next preceding any Interest Payment Date to the opening of business on such
Interest Payment Date shall (except in the case of Securities or portions
thereof which have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date within such
period) be accompanied by payment in immediately available funds or other funds
acceptable to the Company of an amount equal to the interest payable on such
Interest Payment Date on the principal amount of Securities being surrendered
for conversion. Except as provided in the preceding sentence and subject to the
third paragraph of Section 307, no payment or adjustment shall be made upon any
conversion on account of any interest accrued on the Securities surrendered for
conversion or on account of any dividends on the Common Stock issued upon
conversion.
Securities shall be deemed to have been converted immediately prior to
the close of business on the day of surrender of such Securities for conversion
in accordance with the foregoing provisions, and at such time the rights of the
Holders of such Securities as Holders shall cease, and the Person or Persons
entitled to receive the Common Stock issuable upon conversion shall be treated
for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such Common Stock at such
time. As promptly as practicable on or after the conversion date, the Company
shall issue and shall deliver at such office or agency a certificate or
certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion, together with payment in lieu of any fraction of a share, as
provided in Section 1404.
In the case of any Security which is converted in part only, upon such
conversion the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or
Securities of authorized denominations in aggregate principal amount equal to
the unconverted portion of the principal amount of such Security.
Section 1404. Fractions of Shares.
-------------------
No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon conversion
of Securities. If more than one Security shall be surrendered for conversion at
one time by the same Holder, the number of full shares which shall be issuable
upon conversion thereof shall be computed on the basis of the aggregate
principal amount of the Securities (or specified portions thereof) so
surrendered. Instead of any fractional share of Common Stock which would
otherwise be issuable upon conversion of any Security or Securities
-86-
(or specified portions thereof), the Company shall pay a cash adjustment in
respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same fraction of the market
price per share of Common Stock (as determined by the Board of Directors or in
any manner prescribed by the Board of Directors) at the close of business on the
day of conversion.
Section 1405. Adjustment of Conversion Price.
------------------------------
(1) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, the Company shall pay or make a dividend or other
distribution on any class of capital stock of the Company in Common Stock, the
conversion price in effect at the opening of business on the day following the
date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such
dividend or other distribution shall be reduced by multiplying such conversion
price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination and the denominator shall be the sum of such number of shares and
the total number of shares constituting such dividend or other distribution,
such reduction to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination. For the purposes of
this paragraph (1), the number of shares of Common Stock at any time outstanding
shall not include shares held in the treasury of the Company but shall include
shares issuable in respect of scrip certificates issued in lieu of fractions of
shares of Common Stock. The Company will not pay any dividend or make any
distribution on shares of Common Stock held in the treasury of the Company.
(2) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, the Company shall issue rights or warrants to all holders
of its Common Stock (not being available on an equivalent basis to Holders of
the Securities upon conversion) entitling them to subscribe for or purchase
shares of Common Stock at a price per share less than the current market price
per share (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the
Common Stock on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such rights, options or warrants (other than pursuant to a dividend
reinvestment plan), the conversion price in effect at the opening of business on
the day following the date fixed for such determination shall be reduced by
multiplying such conversion price by a fraction of which the numerator shall be
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the
date fixed for such determination plus the number of shares
-87-
of Common Stock which the aggregate of the offering price of the total number of
shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase would purchase at
such current market price and the denominator shall be the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding at the close of business on the date fixed for such
determination plus the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for
subscription or purchase, such reduction to become effective immediately after
the opening of business on the day following the date fixed for such
determination. For the purposes of this paragraph (2), the number of shares of
Common Stock at any time outstanding shall not include shares held in the
treasury of the Company but shall include shares issuable in respect of scrip
certificates issued in lieu of fractions of shares of Common Stock. The Company
will not issue any rights or warrants in respect of shares of Common Stock held
in the treasury of the Company.
(3) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, outstanding shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided
into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect
at the opening of business on the day following the day upon which such
subdivision becomes effective shall be proportionately reduced, and, conversely,
in case outstanding shares of Common Stock shall each be combined into a smaller
number of shares of Common Stock, the conversion price in effect at the opening
of business on the day following the day upon which such combination becomes
effective shall be proportionately increased, such reduction or increase, as the
case may be, to become effective immediately after the opening of business on
the day following the day upon which such subdivision or combination becomes
effective.
(4) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute
to all holders of its Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets
(including securities, but excluding any rights or warrants referred to in
paragraph (2) of this Section, any dividend or distribution paid in cash out of
the retained earnings of the Company and any dividend or distribution referred
to in paragraph (1) of this Section), the conversion price shall be adjusted so
that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion
price in effect immediately prior to the close of business on the date fixed for
the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such distribution by a
fraction of which the numerator shall be the current market price per share
(determined as
-88-
provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed
for such determination less the then fair market value (as determined by the
Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a
Board Resolution filed with the Trustee) of the portion of the assets or
evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Common Stock
and the denominator shall be such current market price per share of the Common
Stock, such adjustment to become effective immediately prior to the opening of
business on the day following the date fixed for the determination of
stockholders entitled to receive such distribution.
(5) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, the Company shall, by dividend or otherwise, distribute
to all holders of its Common Stock cash (excluding any cash that is distributed
upon a merger or consolidation to which Section 1411 applies or as part of a
distribution referred to in paragraph (4) of this Section) in an aggregate
amount that, combined together with (I) the aggregate amount of any other
distributions to all holders of its Common Stock made exclusively in cash within
the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such distribution and in respect
of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (5) has been made and (II) the
aggregate of any cash plus the fair market value (as determined by the Board of
Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board
Resolution) of consideration payable in respect of any tender offer by the
Company or any of its subsidiaries for all or any portion of the Common Stock
concluded within the 12 months preceding the date of payment of such
distribution and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to paragraph (6) of
this Section has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of the current market
price per share of the Common Stock on the date for the determination of holders
of shares of Common Stock entitled to receive such distribution times the number
of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such date, then, and in each such case,
immediately after the close of business on such date for determination, the
conversion price shall be decreased so that the same shall equal the price
determined by multiplying the conversion price in effect immediately prior to
the close of business on the date fixed for determination of the stockholders
entitled to receive such distribution by a fraction (i) the numerator of which
shall be equal to the current market price per share (determined as provided in
paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on the date fixed for such
determination less an amount equal to the quotient of (x) the excess of such
combined amount over such 15% and (y) the number of shares
-89-
of Common Stock outstanding on such date for determination and (ii) the
denominator of which shall be equal to the current market price per share
(determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) of the Common Stock on
such date for determination.
(6) In case at any time after the date of the issuance of the
applicable Securities, a tender offer made by the Company or any Subsidiary for
all or any portion of the Common Stock shall expire and such tender offer (as
amended upon the expiration thereof) shall require the payment to stockholders
(based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender
offer) of Purchased Shares (as defined below)) of an aggregate consideration
having a fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose
determination shall be conclusive and described in a Board Resolution) that
combined together with (I) the aggregate of the cash plus the fair market value
(as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be
conclusive and described in a Board Resolution), as of the expiration of such
tender offer, of consideration payable in respect of any other tender offer, by
the Company or any Subsidiary for all or any portion of the Common Stock
expiring within the 12 months preceding the expiration of such tender offer and
in respect of which no adjustment pursuant to this paragraph (6) has been made
and (II) the aggregate amount of any distributions to all holders of the
Company's Common Stock made exclusively in cash within 12 months preceding the
expiration of such tender offer and in respect of which no adjustment pursuant
to paragraph (5) of this Section has been made, exceeds 15% of the product of
the current market price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided
in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the last time (the "Expiration Time")
tenders could have been made pursuant to such tender offer (as it may be
amended) times the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any
tendered shares) on the Expiration Time, then, and in each such case,
immediately prior to the opening of business on the day after the date of the
Expiration Time, the conversion price shall be adjusted so that the same shall
equal the price determined by multiplying the conversion price immediately prior
to close of business on the date of the Expiration Time by a fraction (i) the
numerator of which shall be equal to (A) the product of (I) the current market
price per share of the Common Stock (determined as provided in paragraph (8) of
this Section) on the date of the Expiration Time and (II) the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding (including any tendered shares) on the Expiration
Time less (B) the amount of cash plus the fair market value
-90-
(determined as aforesaid) of the aggregate consideration payable to stockholders
based on the acceptance (up to any maximum specified in the terms of the tender
offer) of Purchased Shares, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be equal to
the product of (A) the current market price per share of the Common Stock
(determined as provided in paragraph (8) of this Section) as of the Expiration
Time and (B) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding (including any
tendered shares) as of the Expiration Time less the number of all shares validly
tendered and not withdrawn as of the Expiration Time (the shares deemed so
accepted up to any such maximum, being referred to as the "Purchased Shares").
(7) The reclassification of Common Stock into securities including
securities other than Common Stock (other than any reclassification upon a
consolidation or merger to which Section 1412 applies) shall be deemed to
involve (a) a distribution of such securities other than Common Stock to all
holders of Common Stock (and the effective date of such reclassification shall
be deemed to be "the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled
to receive such distribution" and "the date fixed for such determination" within
the meaning of paragraph (4) of this Section), and (b) a subdivision or
combination, as the case may be, of the number of shares of Common Stock
outstanding immediately prior to such reclassification into the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding immediately thereafter (and the effective date of
such reclassification shall be deemed to be "the day upon which such subdivision
becomes effective" or "the day upon which such combination becomes effective",
as the case may be, and "the day upon which such subdivision or combination
becomes effective" within the meaning of paragraph (3) of this Section).
(8) For the purpose of any computation under paragraphs (2), (4), (5)
and (6) of this Section, the current market price per share of Common Stock on
any date shall be deemed to be the average of the daily closing prices for the
five consecutive Trading Days selected by the Company commencing not more than
20 Trading Days before, and ending not later than the earlier of the day in
question and the day before the "ex" date with request to the issuance or
distribution requiring such computation. The closing price for each day shall
be the last reported sales price regular way or, in case no such reported sale
takes place on such day, the average of the reported closing bid and asked
prices regular way, in either case on the New York Stock Exchange or, if the
Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on such Exchange, on the
principal national
-91-
securities exchange on which the Common Stock is listed or admitted to trading
or, if not listed or admitted to trading on any national securities exchange, on
the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations National
Market System or, if the Common Stock is not listed or admitted to trading on
any national securities exchange or quoted on such National Market System, the
average of the closing bid and asked prices in the over-the-counter market as
furnished by any New York Stock Exchange member firm selected from time to time
by the Company for that purpose. For purposes of this paragraph, the term "'ex'
date", when used with respect to any issuance or distribution, means the first
date on which the Common Stock trades regular way on such exchange or in such
market without the right to receive such issuance or distribution.
(9) No adjustment in the conversion price shall be required unless
such adjustment (plus any adjustments not previously made by reason of this
paragraph (9)) would require an increase or decrease of at least 1% in such
price; provided, however, that any adjustments which by reason of this paragraph
-------- -------
(9) are not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account
in any subsequent adjustment. All calculations under this paragraph (9) shall
be made to the nearest cent.
(10) The Company may make such reductions in the conversion price, in
addition to those required by this Section, as it considers to be advisable in
order to avoid or diminish any income tax to any holders of shares of Common
Stock resulting from any dividend or distribution of stock or issuance of rights
or warrants to purchase or subscribe for stock or from any event treated as such
for income tax purposes or for any other reasons. The Company shall have the
power to resolve any ambiguity or correct any error in this paragraph (10) and
its actions in so doing shall be final and conclusive.
Section 1406. Notice of Adjustments of Conversion Price.
-----------------------------------------
Whenever the conversion price is adjusted as herein provided:
(a) the Company shall compute the adjusted conversion price in
accordance with Section 1405 and shall prepare a certificate signed by the
Treasurer of the Company setting forth the adjusted conversion price and
showing in reasonable detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based,
and such certificate shall forthwith be filed at each office or agency
maintained
-92-
for the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002; and
(b) a notice stating that the conversion price has been adjusted and
setting forth the adjusted conversion price shall forthwith be required,
and as soon as practicable after it is required, such notice shall be
mailed by the Company to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall
appear in the Security Register.
Section 1407. Notice of Certain Corporate Action.
----------------------------------
In case at any time after the date 20 days prior to the date on which
the Securities first become convertible:
(a) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution)
on its Common Stock payable otherwise than in cash out of its retained
earnings; or
(b) the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of its
Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of capital stock of any class or of any other rights; or
(c) of any reclassification of the Common Stock of the Company (other
than a subdivision or combination of its outstanding shares of Common
Stock), or of any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party
and for which approval of any stockholders of the Company is required, or
of the sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company; or
(d) of the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or
winding up of the Company;
then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for
the purpose of conversion of Securities pursuant to Section 1002, and shall
cause to be mailed to all Holders at their last addresses as they shall appear
in the Security Register, at least 20 days (or 10 days in any case specified in
clause (a) or (b) above) prior to the applicable record or effective date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be
taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants, or,
if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock
of record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution, rights or warrants are
to be determined, or (y) the date on which
-93-
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share exchange, sale, transfer,
dissolution, liquidation or winding up is expected to become effective, and the
date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be
entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other
property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, share
exchange, sale, transfer, dissolution, liquidation or winding up. Neither the
failure to give such notice nor any defect therein shall affect the legality or
validity of the proceedings described in clauses (a) through (d) of this Section
1407. If at the time the Trustee shall not be the conversion agent, a copy of
such notice shall also forthwith be filed by the Company with the Trustee.
Section 1408. Company to Reserve Common Stock.
-------------------------------
The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free from
pre-emptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued Common Stock, for the
purpose of effecting the conversion of Securities, the full number of shares of
Common Stock then issuable upon the conversion of all outstanding Securities.
Section 1409. Taxes on Conversions.
--------------------
The Company will pay any and all taxes that may be payable in respect
of the issue or delivery of shares of Common Stock on conversion of Securities
pursuant hereto. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax
which may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issue and
delivery of shares of Common Stock in a name other than that of the Holder of
the Security or Securities to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall
be made unless and until the Person requesting such issue has paid to the
Company the amount of any such tax, or has established to the satisfaction of
the Company that such tax has been paid.
Section 1410. Covenant as to Common Stock.
---------------------------
The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock which may be
issued upon conversion of Securities will upon issue be fully paid and
nonassessable and, except as provided in Section 1409, the Company will pay all
taxes, liens and charges with respect to the issue thereof.
-94-
Section 1411. Cancellation of Converted Securities.
------------------------------------
All Securities delivered for conversion shall be delivered to the
Trustee to be cancelled by or at the direction of the Trustee, which shall
dispose of the same as provided in Section 309.
Section 1412. Provisions in Case of Consolidation,
Merger or Sale of Assets.
------------------------------------
In case of any consolidation of the Company with, or merger of the
Company into, any other Person, any merger of another Person into the Company
(other than a merger which does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company)
or any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the
Company, the Person formed by such consolidation or resulting from such merger
or which acquires such assets, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to
the Trustee a supplemental indenture providing that the Holder of each Security
then outstanding shall have the right thereafter, during the period such
Security shall be convertible as specified in Section 1402, to convert such
Security only into the kind and amount of securities, cash and other property
receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by a holder of the
number of shares of Common Stock of the Company into which such Security might
have been converted immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer, assuming such holder of Common Stock of the Company (i) is not a
Person with which the Company consolidated or into which the Company merged or
which merged into the Company or to which such sale or transfer was made, as the
case may be ("constituent Person"), or an Affiliate of a constituent Person and
(ii) failed to exercise his rights of election, if any, as to the kind or amount
of securities, cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation,
merger, sale or transfer (provided that if the kind or amount of securities,
cash and other property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or
transfer is not the same for each share of Common Stock of the Company held
immediately prior to such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by other than
a constituent Person or an Affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights
of election shall not have been exercised ("non-electing share"), then for the
purpose of this Section the kind and amount of securities, cash and other
property receivable upon such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer by each
non-electing share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount so receivable per
share by a plurality of the non-electing shares), and assuming, if such
-95-
consolidation, merger, sale or transfer is prior to the date upon which the
Securities first become convertible, that the Securities were convertible at the
time of such consolidation, merger, sale or transfer at the initial conversion
price specified in Section 1402 as adjusted from the date of the issuance of
the applicable Securities to such time pursuant to Section 1405. Such
supplemental indenture shall provide for adjustments which, for events
subsequent to the effective date of such supplemental indenture, shall be as
nearly equivalent as may be practicable to the adjustments provided for in this
Article. The above provisions of this Section shall similarly apply to
successive consolidations, mergers, sales or transfers.
ARTICLE FIFTEEN
Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
Section 1501. Applicability of Article; Company's Option to
Effect Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance.
---------------------------------------------
If pursuant to Section 301 provision is made for either or both of (a)
defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1502 or (b) covenant
defeasance of the Securities of a series under Section 1503, then the provisions
of such Section or Sections, as the case may be, together with the other
provisions of this Article Fifteen, with such modifications thereto as may be
specified pursuant to Section 301 with respect to any Securities, shall be
applicable to the Securities of such series, and the Company may at its option
by Board Resolution, at any time, with respect to the Securities of such series,
elect to have either Section 1502 (if applicable) or Section 1503 (if
applicable) applied to the Outstanding Securities of such series upon compliance
with the conditions set forth below in this Article Fifteen.
Section 1502. Defeasance and Discharge.
------------------------
Upon the Company's exercise of its option to have this Section applied
to any series of Securities the Company shall be deemed to have been discharged
from its obligations with respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series,
and the provisions of Article Thirteen hereof shall cease to be effective, on
and after the date the conditions precedent set forth below 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 the Outstanding Securities of
-96-
such series which shall thereafter be deemed to be "Outstanding" only for the
purposes of the Sections of this Indenture referred to in clauses (A) and (B) of
this Section, 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
Outstanding Securities of such series to receive, solely from the trust fund
described in Section 1504 as more fully set forth in such Section, payments of
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities when such
payments are due, (B) the Company's obligations with respect to such Securities
under Sections 305, 306, 1002 and 1003 and such obligations as shall be
ancillary thereto, (C) the rights, powers, trusts, duties, immunities and other
provisions in respect of the Trustee hereunder and (D) this Article Fifteen.
Subject to compliance with this Article Fifteen, the Company may exercise its
option under this Section 1502 notwithstanding the prior exercise of its option
under Section 1503 with respect to the Securities of such series. Following a
defeasance, payment of such Securities may not be accelerated because of an
Event of Default.
Section 1503. Covenant Defeasance.
-------------------
Upon the Company's exercise of its option (if any) to have this
Section applied to any series of Securities, the Company shall be released from
its obligations under Section 801 (and any covenant made applicable to such
Securities pursuant to Section 301), the occurrence of an event specified in
Section 501(4) (with respect to Section 801) (and any other Event of Default
applicable to such Securities that are determined pursuant to Section 301 to be
subject to this provision) shall not be deemed to be an Event of Default with
respect to the Outstanding Securities of such series and the provisions of
Article Thirteen hereof shall cease to be effective on and after the date the
conditions set forth below are satisfied (hereinafter, "covenant defeasance"),
and such Securities shall thereafter be deemed not to be "Outstanding" for the
purposes of any direction, waiver, consent or declaration or Act of Holders (and
the consequences of any thereof) in connection with Section 801 (and any other
covenant made applicable to such Security pursuant to Section 301), but shall
continue to be deemed "Outstanding" for all other purposes hereunder. For this
purpose, such covenant defeasance means that, with respect to the Outstanding
Securities of such series, the
-97-
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 such other
covenant whether directly or indirectly by reason of any reference elsewhere
herein to any such Section or such other covenant or by reason of any reference
in any such Section or such other covenant to any other provision herein or in
any other document, but the remainder of this Indenture and such Securities
shall be unaffected thereby.
Section 1504. Conditions to Defeasance or Covenant
Defeasance.
------------------------------------
The following shall be the conditions precedent to application of
either Section 1502 or Section 1503 to the Outstanding Securities of or within
such series:
(1) The Company shall irrevocably have deposited or caused to be
deposited with the Trustee (or another trustee satisfying the requirements
of Section 609 who shall agree to comply with the provisions of this
Article Fifteen 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, (A)
money in an amount (in such currency, currencies or currency units in which
such Securities are then specified as payable at Maturity), 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 an amount, sufficient, without
reinvestment, 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 other qualifying trustee) to pay and discharge, (i) the
principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on the Outstanding
Securities of such series on the Maturity of such principal, premium, if
any, or interest and (ii) any mandatory sinking fund payments applicable to
such Securities on the day on which such payments are due and payable in
accordance with the terms of this Indenture and such Securities. Before
such a deposit the Company may make arrangements satisfactory to the
Trustee for the redemption of Securities at a future date or dates in
accordance with Article Eleven, which shall be given effect in applying the
foregoing. For
-98-
this purpose, "U.S. Government Obligations" means securities that are (x)
direct obligations of the United States of America for the payment of which
its full faith and credit is pledged or (y) obligations 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, 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 of
1933, as amended) as custodian with respect to any such U.S. Government
Obligation or a specific payment of principal of or interest on any such
U.S. 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 depositary receipt from any amount received
by the custodian in respect of the U.S. Government Obligation or the
specific payment of principal of or interest on the U.S. Government
Obligation evidenced by such depositary receipt.
(2) No Event of Default or event which with notice or lapse of time or
both would become an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
such series shall have occurred and be continuing (A) on the date of such
deposit or (B) insofar as subsections 501(6) and (7) are concerned, at any
time during the period ending on the 91st day after the date of such
deposit or, if longer, ending on the day following the expiration of the
longest preference period applicable to the Company in respect of such
deposit (it being understood that this condition shall not be deemed
satisfied until the expiration of such period).
(3) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not (A) cause the
Trustee for the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as
defined in Section 608 or for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with
respect to any securities of the Company or (B) result in the trust arising
from such deposit to constitute, unless it is qualified as, a regulated
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
-99-
(4) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall not result in a
breach or violation of, or constitute a default under, this Indenture or
any other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party
or by which it is bound.
(5) In the case of an election under Section 1502, the Company shall
have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel stating that (x) the
Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal
Revenue Service a ruling, or (y) since the date of this Indenture there has
been a change in the applicable Federal income tax law, in either case to
the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the
Holders of the Outstanding Securities of such series will not recognize
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same amounts,
in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if
such defeasance had not occurred.
(6) In the case of an election under Section 1503, 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
income, gain or loss for Federal income tax purposes as a result of such
covenant defeasance and will be subject to Federal income tax on the same
amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the
case if such covenant defeasance had not occurred.
(7) Such defeasance or covenant defeasance shall be effected in
compliance with any additional terms, conditions or limitations which may
be imposed on the Company in connection therewith pursuant to Section 301.
(8) The Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers'
Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that all conditions
precedent provided for relating to either the defeasance under Section 1502
or the covenant defeasance under Section 1503 (as the case may be) have
been complied with.
-100-
Section 1505. Deposited Money and U.S. Government
Obligations to be Held in Trust; Other
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 (collectively, for purposes of this
Section 1505, the "Trustee") pursuant to Section 1504 in respect of the
Outstanding Securities of such series 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 Paying Agent (but not
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. Money so held in trust shall not be subject to the provisions of Article
Thirteen.
The Company shall pay and indemnify the Trustee against any tax, fee
or other charge imposed on or assessed against the money or U.S. Government
Obligations deposited pursuant to Section 1504 or the principal and interest
received in respect thereof.
Anything herein 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 1504 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 an equivalent defeasance or covenant defeasance.
Section 1506. Reinstatement.
-------------
If the Trustee or the Paying Agent is unable to apply any money in
accordance with Section 1505 by reason of any order or judgment or any court or
governmental authority enjoining, restraining or otherwise prohibiting such
application, then the Company's obligations under the Securities of such series
shall be revived and reinstated as though no deposit had occurred pursuant to
this Article Fifteen until such time as the Trustee or Paying Agent is permitted
to apply all such money in accordance with Section 1505; provided, however, that
-------- -------
if the Company makes any
-101-
payment of principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on any such Security
following the reinstatement of its obligations, the Company shall be subrogated
to the rights of the Holders of such Securities to receive such payment from the
money held by the Trustee or the Paying Agent.
This instrument may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Indenture to
be duly executed as of the day and year first above written.
