on a semiannual basis, the remaining principal and interest payment for
such series of Securities at the Reinvestment Rate (determined on the
third Business Day preceding the date notice of redemption shall have been
given) from the dates on which the principal and interest would have been

any comparable successor publication) under the caption "Treasury Constant
Maturities" for the maturity (rounded to the nearest month) corresponding
to the remaining life to maturity, as of the Maturity of the principal of
the series of Securities being redeemed or paid. If no maturity exactly
corresponds to the Maturity of such series of Securities, yields for the
two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Maturity of
such series of Securities would be so calculated and the Reinvestment Rate
would be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding
to the nearest month. The most recent Statistical Release published prior
to the date of determination of the Make-Whole Amount will be used for
purposes of calculating the Reinvestment Rate.
SECTION 5. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures, Section 106 shall be amended by deleting clause (1) thereof and
replacing such clause (1) in its entirety with the following:

affected by such event, at the address of such Holder as it appears in the
Security Register, not earlier than the earliest date, and not later than
the latest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice, and (b) for so
long as a series of Registered Securities is listed on the Luxembourg
Stock Exchange and it is required by rules of the Luxembourg Stock

SECTION 6. For the sole benefit of the holders of the Senior Notes and the
Senior Debentures, Section 305 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced by
the following Sections 305, 305A and 305B:
SECTION 305. REGISTRAR AND PAYING AGENT. The Company shall
maintain an office or agency in the City of New York where Securities may
be presented for registration of transfer or for exchange (the
"REGISTRAR"), an office or agency in the City of New York where Securities
may be presented for payment (the "PAYING AGENT") and an office or agency
where notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the
Securities and this Indenture may be served, which shall be in the Borough
of Manhattan, The City of New York and, in the event any series of
Securities is listed on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange, in Luxembourg with
respect to such series. The Company shall cause the Registrar to keep a
register of the Securities and of their transfer and exchange (the
"SECURITY REGISTER"). The Security Register shall be in written form or
any other form capable of being converted into written form within a
reasonable time. The Company may have one or more co-Registrars and one or
more additional Paying Agents.
5
The Company shall enter into an appropriate agency agreement
with any Agent not a party to this Indenture. The agreement shall
implement the provisions of this Indenture that relate to such Agent. The
Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the name and
address of any such Agent and any change in the address of such Agent. If
the Company fails to maintain a Registrar, Paying Agent and/or agent for
service of notices and demands, the Trustee shall act as such Registrar,
Paying Agent and/or agent for service of notices and demands. The Company
may remove any Agent upon written notice to such Agent and the Trustee;
PROVIDED that no such removal shall become effective until (i) the
acceptance of an appointment by a successor Agent to such Agent as
evidenced by an appropriate agency agreement entered into by the Company
and such successor Agent and delivered to the Trustee or (ii) notification
to the Trustee that the Trustee shall serve as such Agent until the
appointment of a successor Agent in accordance with clause (i) of this
proviso. The Company, any Subsidiary of the Company, or any Affiliate of
any of them may act as Paying Agent, Registrar or co-Registrar, and/or
agent for service of notice and demands.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee as Registrar,
Paying Agent, Authenticating Agent and agent for service of notice and
demands and Kredietbank S.A. Luxembourg as Paying Agent and agent for
service of notice and demands in Luxembourg, at Kredietbank S.A.
Luxembourg, 00, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx, X-0000 Xxxxxxxxxx; Attention: Corporate
Trust Department. The Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names
and addresses of Holders and shall otherwise comply with TIA ss. 312(a).
If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Company shall furnish to the
Trustee as of each Regular Record Date and at such other times as the
Trustee may reasonably request the names and addresses of Holders as they
appear in the Security Register, including the aggregate principal amount
of Securities held by each Holder.
SECTION 305A. TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE. A Holder may transfer a
Security only by written application to the Registrar stating the name of
the proposed transferee and otherwise complying with the terms of this
Indenture. No such transfer shall be effected until, and such transferee
shall succeed to the rights of a Holder only upon, final acceptance and
registration of the transfer by the Registrar in the Security Register.
Prior to the registration of any transfer by a Holder as provided herein,
the Company, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company shall treat the
person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner thereof for
all purposes whether or not the Security shall be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to
the contrary. Furthermore, any Holder of a global Security shall, by
acceptance of such global Security, agree that transfers of beneficial
interests in such global Securities may be effected only through a book
entry system maintained by the Holder of such global Security (or its
agent) and that ownership of a beneficial
6
interest in the Security shall be required to be reflected in a book
entry. When Securities are presented to the Registrar or a co-Registrar
with a request to register the transfer or to exchange them for an equal
principal amount of Securities of other authorized denominations, the
Registrar shall register the transfer or make the exchange as requested if
its requirements for such transactions are met (including that such
Securities are duly endorsed or accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and Registrar duly executed
by the Holder thereof or by an attorney who is authorized in writing to
act on behalf of the Holder). To permit registrations of transfers and
exchanges, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate
Securities at the Registrar's request. No service charge shall be made for
any registration of transfer or exchange or redemption of the Securities,
but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
transfer tax or similar governmental charge payable in connection
therewith.
The Registrar shall not be required (i) to issue, register the
transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the
opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of
redemption of Securities selected for redemption under Article Eleven 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 or in part, except the unredeemed portion of any
Security being redeemed in part.
SECTION 305B. BOOK-ENTRY PROVISIONS FOR GLOBAL SECURITIES. (a)
Each global Security initially shall (i) be registered in the name of the
Depositary for such global Security or the nominee of such Depositary, and
(ii) be delivered, as applicable, either to the Trustee, as U.S.
Depositary, or to the Common Depositary.
Members of, or Participants in, the Depositary ("AGENT
MEMBERS") shall have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any
global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, or the Trustee as
its custodian or the Common Depositary, as applicable, or under such
global Security, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the
Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner
of such global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent the Company, the Trustee or any
agent of the Company or the Trustee from giving effect to any written
certification, proxy or other authorization furnished by the Depositary or
impair, as between the Depositary and its Agent Members, the operation of
customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of
any Security.
(b) Transfers of a global Security shall be limited to
transfers of such global Security in whole, but not in part, to the
Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees. Transfers of
interests in one global Security to
7
parties who will hold the interests through the same global Security will
be effected in the ordinary way in accordance with the respective rules
and operating procedures of the applicable Depositaries. The provisions of
the "Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System" and "Terms and
Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear" of Euro-clear and the "General
Terms and Conditions of Clearstream" and "Customer Handbook" of Cedel S.A.
shall be applicable to interests in the global Securities that are held by
Agent Members through Euro-clear and Cedel S.A.
(c) Any beneficial interest in one of the global Securities
that is transferred to a person who takes delivery in the form of an
interest in another global Security will, upon transfer, cease to be an
interest in such global Security and become an interest in such other
global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all
transfer restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to
beneficial interests in such other global Security for so long as it
remains such an interest.
(d) The registered holder of a global Security may grant
proxies and otherwise authorize any person, including Agent Members and
persons that may hold interests through Agent Members, to take any action
which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities.
(e) The Securities are initially solely issuable as global
Securities. Registered Securities shall only be transferred to all
beneficial owners in exchange for their beneficial interests in a global
Security, if (i) the Depositary with respect to such global Securities
notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as
Depositary for such global Security, as the case may be, and a successor
Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of such notice
or (ii) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the
Registrar has received a request to the foregoing effect from the
Depositary or the Trustee.
(f) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be valid, legally enforceable obligations of the Company,
evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
SECTION 7. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures, Section 307 shall be amended by deleting the first paragraph thereof
and replacing such paragraph in its entirety with the following:
(a) Interest on any Registered Security which is payable, and
is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date
shall be paid, in immediately available funds, 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 of the Company maintained for such purpose
8
pursuant to Section 1002; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that each installment of
interest on any Registered Security may at the Company's option be paid in
immediately available funds by transfer to an account maintained by the
payee located in the United States.
SECTION 8. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures, Section 501 shall be amended by deleting in subparagraphs (4) and
(5) thereunder, the references to the amount $100 million, and replacing such
references with the amount $250 million.
SECTION 9. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures, the first paragraph of Section 1007 of the Indenture is hereby
deleted and replaced by the following paragraphs:
The Company shall, subject to the exceptions and limitations
set forth below, pay as additional interest on the Securities of any
series, such additional amounts (the "ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS") as are
necessary in order that the net payment to be made by the Company or by a
Paying Agent on behalf of the Company, of the principal of and interest on
a series of Securities to a Holder who is a non-United States Person,
after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or other
governmental charge of the United States or a political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein, imposed by withholding with respect
to such payment, will not be less than the amount provided in the
Securities to be then due and payable; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
foregoing obligation to pay Additional Amounts shall not apply:
(1) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
imposed or withheld solely by reason of the Holder, or a fiduciary,
settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder, if the Holder
is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a Person holding a
power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary Holder, being
considered as:
(a) being or having been present or engaged in a trade or
business in the United States or having had a permanent
establishment in the United States;
(b) having a current or former relationship with the United
States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident thereof;

a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States
federal income tax;
(d) being or having a "10-percent shareholder" of the
Company, as defined in Section 871(h)(3) of the United States
Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision thereof; or
9
(e) being a bank receiving payments on an extension of credit
made pursuant to a loan agreement entered into in the ordinary
course of its trade or business;
(2) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of a
Security, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but
only to the extent that a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the
fiduciary, a beneficial owner or member of the partnership would not have
been entitled to the payment of any Additional Amount had the beneficiary,
settlor, beneficial owner or member received directly its beneficial or
distributive share of the payment;
(3) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
imposed or withheld by reason of the failure of the Holder or any other
person to comply with certification, identification or information
reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or
connection with the United States, or otherwise with respect to the
status, of the Holder or beneficial owner of such Security (or any
beneficiary, settlor, beneficial owner or member thereof), if compliance
is required by statute, by regulation of the United States Treasury
Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United
States is a party, or by any official interpretation or ruling promulgated
pursuant to any of the foregoing, as a precondition to exemption from such
tax, assessment or other governmental charge;
(4) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
imposed otherwise than by withholding by the Company or by a Paying Agent
on its behalf from the payment;
(5) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge that is
imposed or withheld solely by reason of a change in law, regulation, or
administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than
15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever
occurs later;
(6) to any estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer,
wealth or personal property tax or similar tax, assessment or other
governmental charge;
(7) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge required
to be withheld by any Paying Agent from any payment of principal of or
interest on any Security, if such payment can be made without such
withholding by any other Paying Agent on behalf of the Company; or
(8) in the case of any combination of items (1), (2), (3),
(4), (5), (6) and (7).
The Securities are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or
other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation
applicable thereto. Except as otherwise provided for in this Section 1007
and Section 1101, the Company shall not be required to make any payments
with respect to any tax,
10
assessment or other governmental charge imposed by any government or a
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein.
Whenever in this Indenture there is mentioned, in any context,
the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) or interest on,
or in respect of, any Security of a series or payment of any related
coupon or the net proceeds received on the sale or exchange of a Security
of a series, such mention shall be deemed to include mention of the
payment of Additional Amounts provided for by the terms of such series
established pursuant to Section 301 to the extent that, in such context,
Additional Amounts are, were or would be payable in respect thereof
pursuant to such terms and express mention of the payment of Additional
Amounts (if applicable) in any provisions hereof shall not be construed as
excluding Additional Amounts in those provisions hereof where such express
mention is not made.
SECTION 10. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and the
Senior Debentures, Section 1010 of the Indenture is hereby deleted in its
entirety and replaced by the following Section 1010:
Section 1010. LIMITATIONS ON LIENS.
The Company shall not create, assume or suffer to exist any
Lien on any of its property or assets, without securing the Securities of
any applicable series equally and ratably with (or prior to) such secured
Indebtedness; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the foregoing shall apply only to
Liens which in the aggregate exceed 15% of the Company's total
consolidated assets as of the end of the Company's most recent accounting
period preceding the creation or assumption of any such Lien (reduced by
any Attributable Debt with respect to any Sale and Leaseback Transaction
permitted under Section 1011 below). This restriction will not apply to
Capitalized Leases or to Indebtedness secured by (a) Liens existing on
August 1, 2000 and Liens on property of, or Indebtedness of, any Person at
the time such Person becomes a Subsidiary (whether by acquisition or
otherwise, including through merger or consolidation), (b) Liens in favor
of the Company or a Subsidiary of the Company, (c) Liens existing at the
time of acquisition of the assets secured thereby (including acquisition
through merger or consolidation) and purchase money Liens, and (d) any
extension, renewal or refunding of any Lien referred to in the foregoing
clauses (a) through (c), inclusive.
SECTION 11. For the sole benefit of the Holders of the Senior Notes and Senior
Debentures, Section 1101 of the Indenture is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced by the following Section 1101:
Section 1101. OPTIONAL REDEMPTION.
In the event that as a result of any change in, or amendments
to, any laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the
United
11
States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or
therein) or any change in, or amendments to, an official position
regarding the application of such laws, regulations or rulings, which
change or amendment is announced or becomes effective thereunder after
July 25, 2000, the Company has become or, based upon a written opinion of
independent counsel selected by the Company, will become obligated to pay,
with respect to a series of Securities, any Additional Amounts, the
Company may redeem, in accordance with this Article Eleven, all, but not
less than all, the Securities of such series at any time at 100% of the
principal amount thereof, together with accrued interest thereon, if any,
to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of holders of record on the
relevant Regular Record Date that is prior to the Redemption Date to
receive interest on the relevant Interest Payment Date).
In addition, the Securities of any given series will be
redeemable, in accordance with this Article Eleven, at any time, at the
option of the Company, in whole or from time to time in part, upon not
less than 30 nor more than 60 days' prior notice, on any date prior to
their maturity at a Redemption Price equal to the sum of 100% of the
principal amount thereof and the Make-Whole Amount and any accrued and
unpaid interest, to the Redemption Date (subject to the rights of holders
of record on the relevant Regular Record Date that is on or prior to the
Redemption Date to receive interest due on the relevant Interest Payment
Date). The Make-Whole Amount with respect to such a redemption shall be
calculated by an independent investment banking institution of national
standing appointed by the Company. If the Company fails to so appoint an
independent investment banking institution at least 45 Business Days prior
to the Redemption Date, or if such institution is unwilling or unable to
calculate the Make-Whole Amount, the calculation of such Make-Whole Amount
shall be made by an independent investment banking institution of national
standing appointed by the Trustee. If, for purposes of calculating the
Make-Whole Amount, the Reinvestment Rate shall not be available as set
forth in the definition thereof, the Reinvestment Rate shall be calculated
by interpolation or extrapolation of comparable rates selected by the
independent investment banking institution.
