Bonds so owned which have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as Outstanding for the purposes of this paragraph, if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee’s right to vote such bonds and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Company. In case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. | Situations when bonds owned by Company and certain other bonds to be disregarded | |

Section 19.09 The Company covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust, and the Company will reimburse the Trustee for all appropriate advances made by the Trustee and will pay to the Trustee from time to time its expenses and disbursements (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and all other persons not regularly in its employ and of its counsel), except to the extent that any such expense or disbursement results from the Trustee’s negligence or bad faith.

Action to be taken by Trustee who becomes creditor of Company | Section 19.11 (a) Subject to the provisions of subdivision (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company within four months prior to a default (as defined in the last paragraph of this subdivision), or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for the |
125 |
§19.11 | ||
benefit of the Trustee individually, the holders of the bonds, and the holders of other indenture securities (as defined in the last paragraph of this subdivision (a)) | ||
(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of principal or interest effected after the beginning of such four months period and valid as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this subdivision (a) or from the exercise of any right of setoff which the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such default; and | ||
(2) all property received in respect of any claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such four months period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds. | ||
Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee | Certain rights of Trustee unaffected | |
(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on account of any such claim by any person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or other property in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law; | ||
(B) to realize for its own account, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such property were so held prior to the beginning of such four months period; | ||
(C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created after the beginning of such four months period and such property was received as security therefor simultaneously with the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden of proving that at the time such property |
126 |
§19.11 | ||
was so received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default as defined in the last paragraph of this subdivision (a) would occur within four months; or | ||
(D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph (B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security for such claim as provided in paragraph (B) or (C), as the case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property. | ||
For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property substituted after the beginning of such four months period for property held as security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-existing claim. | ||
Apportionment of proceeds among Trustee, bondholders, etc. | If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and property so held in such special account. As used in this paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term “dividends” shall include any distribution with respect to such claim, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act or applicable |
127 |
§19.11 | ||
State law, whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other property, but shall not include any such distribution with respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court in which such bankruptcy, receivership or proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the bondholders, and the holders of other indenture securities, with respect to their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula. | ||
Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the beginning of such four months period shall be subject to the provisions of this subdivision (a) as though such resignation or removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning of such four months period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this subdivision (a) if and only if the following conditions exist– | Resigned or removed Trustee | |
(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such Trustee had continued as Trustee, occurred after the beginning of such four months period; and | ||
(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred within four months after such resignation or removal. | ||
As used in this Section, the term “default” means any failure to make payment in full of the principal of or interest upon the bonds or upon the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable; and the term “other indenture securities” means securities upon which the Company is an obligor (as defined in the Trust Indenture Act) outstanding under any other indenture (a) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (b) which contains provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this subdivision (a), and (c) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds and property held in said special account. | “default” |

The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subdivision (d) shall not be construed as indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of paragraph (3) or (7) of this subdivision (d). | ||
“security”
“securities” |
For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subdivision (d) only, (A) the terms “security” and “securities” shall include only such securities as are generally known as corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust companies or banking firms or any certificate of interest or participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B) an obligation shall be deemed to be in default when a default in payment of principal shall have continued for thirty (30) days or more and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for an obligation which is not in default as above defined, or (ii) any security |

which it holds as collateral security under this Indenture, irrespective of any default hereunder, or (iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similarly representative capacity. | ||
The percentages of voting securities and other securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in accordance with the following provisions: | Calculation of percentage of securities | |
(aa) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in this Section (each of whom is referred to as a “person” in this paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities of such person as entitles the holder or holders thereof to cast such specified percentage of the aggregate votes which the holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such person are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the affairs of such person. |
“person” | |
(bb) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of securities of the class outstanding. | ||
(cc) The term “amount”, when used in regard to securities, means the principal amount if relating to evidences of indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares, and the number of units if relating to any other kind of security. | “amount” | |
(dd) The term “outstanding” means issued and not held by or for the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition: | “outstanding” | |
(1) Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to securities of the issuer of the same class; | ||
(2) Securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation evidenced by such other class of securities is not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; | ||
(3) Securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for any obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or interest or otherwise; | ||
(4) Securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer thereof; |
134 |
§19.12 | ||
provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall be deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof. | ||
(ee) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as another security if both securities confer upon the holder or holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges; provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such series of different classes, and provided, further, that, in the case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute the securities of different classes, whether or not they are issued under a single indenture. | ||
Application of Section to Trustee and separate or co-trustee | The provisions of this Section which have been made specifically applicable to the Trustee shall apply to the Trustee, and, if a separate or co-trustee is appointed pursuant to Section 19.16 hereof, to any separate or co-trustee, except that in case of the resignation of a separate or co-trustee such resignation and the appointment of a successor shall (subject to the provisions of subdivision (c) of this Section) be governed by the provisions of Section 19.15 and paragraph (3) of Section 19.16 hereof. | |
“underwriter” | The term “underwriter” when used with reference to the Company means every person who, within three years prior to the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased from the Company with a view to, or has offered or sold for the Company in connection with, the distribution of any security of the Company outstanding at such time, or has participated or has had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking, or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the usual and customary distributors’ or sellers’ commission. | |
Amendment of Section at Company’s option based on amendment of Trust Indenture Act | If the Trust Indenture Act is amended at any time after the date of this Indenture to change the circumstances under which a Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to this Indenture or the bonds of any series or to change any of the definitions in connection therewith, this Section 19.12 may at the Company’s option be amended by an indenture supplemental hereto to incorporate such changes. |

If in a proper case no appointment of a successor Trustee shall be made pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section within six months after a vacancy shall have occurred in the office of Trustee, the holder of any bond Outstanding hereunder or any retiring Trustee may apply to any court of competent jurisdiction to appoint a successor Trustee. Said court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as such court may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor Trustee. | Bondholder application for appointment of successor trustee | |

Conditions: | Every separate trustee, every co-trustee and every successor trustee, other than any trustee which may be appointed as successor to the Original Trustee, shall, to the extent permitted by law, but to such extent only, be appointed subject to the following provisions and conditions, namely: | |

In case any separate trustee or trustees or co-trustee or co-trustees, or a successor to any of them, shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, property, rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of said separate trustee or co-trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be exercised by the Original Trustee or its successor in the trust hereunder, without the appointment of a new trustee as successor to such separate trustee or co-trustee. | Notice

143 |
§§19.18, 19.19, 19.20 | ||
to it, as trustee hereunder, and deliver said bonds so authenticated; and in case any of said bonds shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such bonds either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor trustee, and in all such cases such certificate shall have the full force which it is anywhere in said bonds or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to authenticate bonds in the name of the Original Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation or sale as aforesaid. | Further authentication by successor | |
Section 19.19 Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, the Company, by instrument executed by order of its Board of Directors and duly acknowledged by its proper officers, may, within the period beginning January 1, 1999 and ending December 31, 1999, and the comparable period in each succeeding decade, appoint any corporation eligible under the provisions of Section 19.15 hereof, and doing business in the United States of America, as Trustee in succession to the Trustee as of the date of such appointment and the corporation so appointed Trustee shall thereupon become successor Trustee hereunder until a new Trustee shall be appointed by the bondholders as authorized herein. | Appointment of successor Trustee | |
Section 19.20 The Trustee may, from time to time, appoint an authenticating agent or agents to act on its behalf and subject to its direction in connection with the authentication of bonds of any series as fully to all intents and purposes as though such authenticating agent had been expressly authorized in this Indenture to authenticate bonds; and such bonds so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as though authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. For all purposes the authentication of bonds by an authenticating agent pursuant to this Indenture shall be deemed to be the authentication of such bonds “by the Trustee” and whenever this Indenture provides that “the Trustee shall authenticate” bonds such authentication by an authenticating agent hereunder shall be deemed to be authentication by the Trustee. | Appointment of authenticating agent | |
Any such authenticating agent shall be a bank or trust company and a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory or of the District of Columbia, with a combined capital and surplus of at least Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000), |
144 |
§19.20 | ||
and be authorized under such laws to act as an authenticating agent and duly registered to act as such, if and to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, and be subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 19.20 the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an authenticating agent hereunder shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions hereof or to be duly registered to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect herein specified. | ||
Any corporation into which any 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 any authenticating agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the authenticating agency business of any authenticating agent, shall be the successor of the authenticating agent hereunder, if otherwise eligible under the provisions hereof, and continue to be an authenticating agent without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of the Trustee or the predecessor authenticating agent. | ||
Any authenticating agent may at any time resign by giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of any authenticating agent by giving written notice of termination 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 any authenticating agent shall cease to be eligible hereunder or to be duly registered to the extent required by applicable laws and regulations, the Trustee may appoint a successor authenticating agent. Any successor authenticating agent upon acceptance of its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as an authenticating agent pursuant to the terms hereof. No successor authenticating agent shall be appointed unless eligible under the provisions hereof. | ||
The Company agrees to pay to any authenticating agent from time to time reasonable compensation for its services, and the Trustee shall have no liability for such payments. The Trustee shall not be responsible |
145 |
§19.20; Art. XX, §20.01 | ||
for any misconduct, bad faith or negligence on the part of any authenticating agent appointed with due care by it hereunder. | ||
Any authenticating agent by the acceptance of its appointment shall be deemed to have agreed with and warranted to the Trustee that: it will perform and carry out the duties of an authenticating agent as herein set forth, including among other things the duties to authenticate bonds when presented to it; it will keep and maintain and will furnish from time to time as requested by the Trustee appropriate records of all transactions carried out by it as authenticating agent and will furnish the Trustee such other information and reports as the Trustee may reasonably require; it is eligible for appointment as authenticating agent hereunder and will notify the Trustee promptly if it shall cease to be so qualified; and it will indemnify the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Trustee and will defend any claim asserted against the Trustee by reason of any acts or failures to act of the authenticating agent, but it shall have no liability for any action taken by it at the specific direction of the Trustee. | ||
The provisions of Sections 16.01, 16.02, 19.02, 19.03, 19.04, 19.09 and 22.07 of this Indenture shall bind and inure to the benefit of each authenticating agent hereunder to the same extent that they bind and inure to the benefit of the Trustee. | ||

§20.02 | ||
Bonds for payment of which money or obligations of the United States are deposited are deemed paid; provisos | Section 20.02 The Company may provide for the payment or redemption of Outstanding bonds and interest thereon by depositing with the Trustee either (i) moneys in the necessary amount or (ii) obligations of the United States of America which shall not contain provisions permitting the redemption thereof at the option of the issuer, the principal of and the interest on which when due, and without any regard to reinvestment thereof, will, in the opinion of an independent accountant or other independent financial expert delivered to the Trustee, provide moneys which, together with the moneys, if any, deposited with or held by the Trustee, shall be sufficient to pay when due the principal of, premium (if any) and interest due and to become due on such bonds or portions thereof on the redemption date or maturity date thereof, as the case may be. When such sufficient moneys and/or obligations shall have been set apart by or deposited with the Trustee, with irrevocable direction so to apply the same, subject to the provisions of Section 22.03 hereof (with or without any additional right given to the holders to surrender their bonds or obtain therefrom payment therefor prior to the redemption date) such bonds and interest thereon shall for all purposes under this Indenture including satisfying the Lien of this Indenture be deemed to have been paid; provided that in case of redemption the notice requisite to the validity of such redemption shall have been given or arrangements shall have been made insuring to the satisfaction of the Trustee that the same will be given; and provided further that the Trustee need not accept such deposit unless it is accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling, or (b) since the date of this Indenture there has been a change in applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such Opinion of Counsel shall confirm that, the holders of such bonds or the right of payment of interest thereon (as the case may be) will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such deposit and/or the ensuing discharge of this Indenture and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amount and in the same manner and at the same times, as would have been the case if such deposit, and/or discharge had not occurred. Upon such deposit, the obligation of the Company to duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such bonds shall cease, terminate and be completely discharged and the holders thereof shall thereafter be entitled to receive payment solely from the funds deposited with the Trustee as set forth above. |
147 |
§20.03; Art. XXI, §§21.01, 21.02 | ||
Section 20.03 In the event that the Opinion of Counsel delivered in accordance with Section 20.02 hereof states in effect that such income tax liability to the bondholders would arise from discharge of this Indenture but not from the deposit of such moneys and/or obligations without an ensuing discharge, then in such case this Indenture shall not be discharged until such Outstanding bonds and interest thereon have (subject to the provisions of Section 22.03 hereof) been actually paid (or the unqualified Opinion of Counsel contemplated by Section 20.02 hereof can be delivered); provided however that thereafter the Company shall be relieved of its obligations to comply with the covenants of Article IX hereof. | Tax liability arising from discharge; when Indenture discharged | |

Attendance at meetings
Trustee may make regulations as to deposits of bonds |
Section 21.03 Officers and nominees of the Trustee and of the Company or their or its nominees may attend such meeting, but shall not as such be entitled to vote thereat. Attendance by bondholders may be in person or by proxy and, unless specifically prohibited by law, any such proxy shall remain in effect unless specifically revoked and shall be binding on any future holder of the bonds represented by such proxy, unless specifically revoked by any such future holder before being voted. In order that the holder of any bond payable to bearer and his, her or its proxy may attend and vote without producing his, her or its bond, the Trustee, with respect to any such meeting, may make and from time to time vary such regulations as it shall think fit for deposit of bonds with, or the stamping of bonds by, (i) any banks, bankers or trust or insurance companies having a capital of not less than Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($500,000) or (ii) any trustee of any pension, welfare, hospitalization or similar fund or funds having an aggregate corpus in excess of |

A bondholder in any of the foregoing categories may sign such certificate in his, her or its own behalf. In lieu of or in addition to providing for such deposit, the Trustee may, in its discretion, permit such institutions to issue certificates stating that bonds were exhibited to them, which certificates shall entitle the holders thereof to vote at any meeting only if the bonds with respect to which they are issued are not produced at the meeting by any other person and are not at the time of the meeting registered in the name of any other person. Each such certificate shall state the date on which the bond or bonds in respect of which such certificate shall have been issued were deposited with or submitted to such institution and the series, maturities and serial numbers of such bonds. In the event that two or more such certificates shall be issued with respect to any bond or bonds, the certificate bearing the latest date shall be recognized and be deemed to supersede any certificate or certificates previously issued with respect to such bond or bonds.
