do so.

record date is
 
fixed, such request,
 
demand, authorization,

or consented to
 
such request, demand,
 
authorization, direction, notice,

notice, either before

not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in
 
reliance upon such waiver.

specified in
 
a Company
 
Order or
 
that such
 
terms shall
 
be determined
 
by the
Company or its
 
agents in accordance with
 
procedures specified in a
 
Company Order as
 
contemplated by
the third paragraph of
Section 303
.
Unless otherwise specified with
 
respect to a series
 
of Securities pursuant to
 
paragraph (2) of this
Section, any limit upon the aggregate
 
principal amount of a series of
 
Securities may be increased without
the consent of any Holders and additional Securities of such
 
series may be authenticated and delivered up
to the limit upon the aggregate principal amount authorized with respect to
 
such series as so increased.
Section 302.

The Securities
 
of each
 
series shall
 
be issuable
 
in registered
 
or
unregistered form with or 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
Registered Securities of such series shall be issuable in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple
 
 
- 16 -

series shall be issuable in denominations of
 
$5,000 and any
integral multiple thereof.

The Securities shall be executed
on behalf
 
of the
 
Company by its
 
Chairman of the
 
Board and Chief
 
Executive Officer,
 
its President, its
Senior Vice
 
President, Finance, or
 
its Treasurer.
 
The signature of
 
any of these
 
officers on the
 
Securities
may be
 
manual or
 
facsimile. The
 
coupons, if
 
any, of
 
Unregistered Securities
 
shall bear
 
the manual
 
or
facsimile signature of
 
any one of
 
the officers or
 
assistant officers referred
 
to in the
 
first sentence of
 
this
Section.
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.
The Trustee shall
 
at any time, and
 
from time to time,
 
authenticate Securities for original
 
issue in
the principal amount
 
provided in a
 
resolution of the
 
Board of Directors,
 
supplemental indenture or
 
Officer’s
Certificate, upon receipt
 
by the Trustee
 
of a Company
 
Order. The
 
Company Order may
 
provide that the
Securities that are the subject thereof shall
 
be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee
 
upon the written
order of Persons
 
designated in the
 
Company Order,
 
and that such
 
Persons are authorized
 
to specify the
terms and
 
conditions of
 
such Securities,
 
to the
 
extent permitted
 
by the
 
Board Resolutions,
 
Officers’
Certificate and/or supplemental indenture (if any) relating
 
thereto.
In authenticating such Securities, and accepting
 
the additional responsibilities under this Indenture
in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall
 
be entitled to receive, and (subject to
Section 601
) shall be
fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating:
(a)
 
that such form
 
of Securities has been
 
established in conformity
 
with the provisions
of this Indenture;
(b)
 
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, reorganization
 
and other
 
laws of
 
general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general equity
 
principles.
Each Registered
 
Security shall
 
be dated
 
the date
 
of its
 
authentication and
 
each Unregistered
Security shall be dated the date of its original issuance.
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
 
no coupon shall
 
be valid until
 
the
Security to which it
 
appertains has been so
 
authenticated, and such certificate
 
upon any Security shall
 
be
conclusive evidence, and the only
 
evidence, that such Security has
 
been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.
Notwithstanding the
 
foregoing, until
 
the Company has
 
delivered an
 
Officer’s Certificate
 
to the
Trustee and the Security Registrar stating that, as a
 
result of the action described, the Company would not
suffer adverse consequences under the
 
provisions of United States law
 
or regulations in effect at
 
the time
of the delivery of
 
Unregistered Securities, the Trustee
 
or the Security Registrar
 
will (i) deliver Unregistered
Securities only
 
outside the
 
United States
 
and its
 
possessions and
 
(ii) release
 
Unregistered Securities in
 
 
- 17 -
 
definitive form to the person entitled to physical delivery thereof only upon presentation of a certificate in
the form prescribed by the Company.
Section 304.
 
Temporary Securities.
 
Pending the preparation of definitive
 
Registered Securities
of any
 
series (including
 
Global Securities),
 
the Company
 
may execute,
 
and upon
 
Company Order
 
the
Trustee shall
 
authenticate and deliver,
 
temporary Registered Securities
 
which are
 
printed, lithographed,
typewritten, mimeographed or
 
otherwise produced, in
 
any authorized denomination,
 
substantially of the
tenor of
 
the definitive
 
Registered 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. Every temporary Registered Security
 
shall
be executed by
 
the Company and
 
authenticated by the
 
Trustee, and
 
registered by the
 
Security Registrar,
upon the same conditions, and with like effect, as a definitive Registered Security.
If temporary
 
Securities of
 
any series
 
are issued,
 
the Company
 
will cause
 
definitive Registered
Securities of
 
that series
 
to be
 
prepared without
 
unreasonable delay.
 
After the
 
preparation of
 
definitive
Registered Securities of
 
such series,
 
the temporary Registered
 
Securities of such
 
series shall
 
be
exchangeable for definitive
 
Registered Securities of
 
such series upon
 
surrender of the
 
temporary Registered
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 Registered
Securities of
 
any series
 
the Company
 
shall execute
 
and the
 
Trustee shall
 
authenticate and
 
deliver in
exchange therefor
 
a like principal amount
 
of definitive Registered Securities of the same series of
authorized denominations. Until so
 
exchanged the temporary
 
Registered Securities of any
 
series shall in all
respects be entitled
 
to the same
 
benefits under this
 
Indenture as definitive
 
Registered Securities of
 
such
series.
Until definitive Unregistered
 
Securities of any
 
series (including Global
 
Securities) are ready
 
for
delivery, the Company may prepare and execute and the Trustee
 
shall authenticate one or more temporary
Unregistered Securities, which
 
may have coupons
 
attached or which
 
may be in
 
the form of
 
one or more
temporary Global
 
Unregistered Securities
 
of that
 
series without
 
coupons. The
 
temporary Unregistered
Security or Securities of
 
any series shall be
 
substantially in the form
 
approved by or pursuant
 
to a Board
Resolution and shall
 
be delivered to
 
one of the
 
Paying Agents located
 
outside the United
 
States and its
possessions or to such other person or persons as
 
the Company shall direct against such certification
 
as the
Company may from time to time prescribe by or
 
pursuant to a Board Resolution. The temporary
Unregistered Security or Securities of a series shall be executed by the Company and authenticated by the
Trustee upon the same conditions, and with
 
like effect, as a definitive Unregistered
 
Security of such series,
except as
 
provided herein
 
or in
 
the Board
 
Resolution or
 
supplemental Indenture
 
relating thereto.
 
A
temporary Unregistered Security or Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Unregistered
 
Securities
at the time and on the conditions, if any, specified in the temporary Security.
Upon any
 
exchange of
 
a part
 
of a
 
temporary Unregistered
 
Security of
 
a series
 
for definitive
Unregistered Securities of
 
such series, the
 
temporary Unregistered Security
 
shall be endorsed
 
by the Trustee
or Paying
 
Agent to
 
reflect the
 
reduction of
 
its principal
 
amount by
 
an amount
 
equal to
 
the aggregate
principal amount of the definitive Unregistered Securities of such series
 
so exchanged and endorsed.
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.
 
 
- 18 -
 
Except in
 
the case
 
of Securities
 
issued in
 
the form
 
of a
 
Global Security,
 
upon surrender
 
for
registration of transfer of any Registered
 
Security of any series at the office
 
or agency of the Company
 
in a
Place of Payment for that
 
series, the Company
 
shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
 
and deliver,
in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Registered Securities of the same
series, of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate
 
principal amount.
If both Registered
 
and Unregistered Securities
 
are authorized for
 
a series of
 
Securities and the
 
terms
of such Securities permit,
 
(i) Unregistered Securities may be
 
exchanged for an equal
 
principal amount of
Registered or Unregistered
 
Securities of the
 
same series and
 
date of maturity
 
in any authorized
denominations upon
 
delivery to
 
the Security
 
Registrar (or
 
a Paying
 
Agent (as
 
herein defined),
 
if the
exchange is for Unregistered
 
Securities) of the Unregistered
 
Security with all unmatured coupons
 
and all
matured coupons in default appertaining thereto and if all other
 
requirements of the Security Registrar (or
such Paying Agent)
 
and such Securities
 
for such exchange
 
are met, and
 
(ii) Registered Securities,
 
other
than Securities
 
issued in
 
the form
 
of a
 
Global Security
 
(except as
 
provided in
Section 311
), may
 
be
exchanged for an equal principal
 
amount of Unregistered Securities
 
of the same series and
 
date of maturity
in any
 
authorized denominations (except
 
that any coupons
 
appertaining to such
 
Unregistered Securities
which have matured and
 
have been paid shall
 
be detached) upon delivery to
 
the Security Registrar of the
Registered Securities and
 
if all other
 
requirements of the
 
Security Registrar and
 
such Securities for
 
such
exchange are met.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the exchange
 
of Unregistered Securities for Registered
 
Securities
or Registered Securities for Unregistered
 
Securities will be subject to
 
the satisfaction of the provisions
 
of
United States law
 
and regulations in
 
effect at the
 
time of such
 
exchange, and no
 
exchange of Registered
Securities for
 
Unregistered Securities
 
will be
 
made until
 
the Company
 
has notified
 
the Trustee
 
in an
Officer’s Certificate and the Security Registrar that, as a result of
 
such exchange, the Company would not
suffer adverse consequences under such law or regulations.
All Securities issued upon any registration
 
of transfer or exchange of
 
Securities shall be the valid
obligations of
 
the Company,
 
evidencing the
 
same debt,
 
and entitled
 
to the
 
same benefits
 
under this
Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such registration of transfer
 
or exchange.
Every Security
 
presented or
 
surrendered for
 
registration of
 
transfer or
 
for exchange shall
 
(if so
required by the Company or the
 
Trustee) be duly endorsed, or
 
be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form
 
satisfactory to the Company
 
and the Security
 
Registrar duly executed
 
by the Holder thereof
or his attorney duly authorized in writing.
Unless otherwise provided
 
in a Board
 
Resolution or an
 
Officer’s Certificate pursuant
 
to a Board
Resolution, or in an indenture supplemental
 
hereto, with respect to Securities of any
 
series, or any Tranche
thereof, no
 
service charge
 
shall be
 
made to
 
the Holder
 
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
1106
 
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
 
or in
 
part, except
 
the unredeemed
 
portion of
 
any Security
 
being
redeemed in
 
part. Unregistered
 
Securities or
 
any coupons
 
appertaining thereto
 
shall be
 
transferable by
delivery thereof.
Section 306.
 
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost
 
and Stolen Securities.
 
If any mutilated
 
Security or a
Security with a mutilated coupon or coupons appertaining to it is surrendered to the
 
Trustee, the Company
shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a replacement Registered
 
 
- 19 -
 
Security, if
 
such surrendered security
 
was a Registered
 
Security, or
 
a replacement Unregistered
 
Security
with coupons corresponding to
 
the coupons appertaining to
 
the surrendered Security,
 
if such surrendered
Security was an
 
Unregistered 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 or any
 
coupon or coupons appertaining
 
thereto, and (ii) such bond,
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
 
actual notice to
 
the Company or
 
the Trustee
 
that such Security
 
or any
coupon or coupons
 
appertaining thereto has
 
been acquired by
 
a bona fide
 
purchaser, the
 
Company shall
execute and
 
upon a
 
Company Order
 
request the
 
Trustee shall
 
authenticate and
 
deliver, a
 
replacement
Registered Security, if such Holder’s
 
claim pertains to
 
a Registered Security, or
 
a replacement Unregistered
Security with coupons corresponding
 
to the coupons
 
appertaining to the destroyed,
 
lost or stolen
Unregistered Security
 
or the
 
Unregistered Security
 
to which
 
such destroyed,
 
lost or
 
stolen coupon
 
or
coupons appertains, if such Holder’s claim pertains
 
to an Unregistered Security,
 
of the same series and of
like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously
 
outstanding.
In case any
 
such mutilated, destroyed,
 
lost or stolen
 
Security or any
 
coupon or coupons
 
appertaining
thereto 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 or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto.
Upon the issuance of any new Security under
 
this Section or any coupon or coupons appertaining
thereto, 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 or any
 
coupon or coupons appertaining
 
thereto of any series issued
 
pursuant to
this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security
 
or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto
shall constitute an original additional
 
contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the
 
destroyed,
lost or stolen Security or
 
any coupon or coupons
 
appertaining thereto is 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 or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto 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
or any coupon or coupons appertaining thereto.
Section 307.
 
Payment of
 
Interest; Interest
 
Rights Preserved.
 
Unless otherwise
 
provided as
contemplated by Section 301
 
with respect to the
 
Securities of any series,
 
or any Tranche
 
thereof, interest
on any Registered
 
Security that is
 
payable, and is
 
punctually paid or
 
duly provided for,
 
on any Interest
Payment Date
 
shall be
 
paid to
 
the Person
 
in whose
 
name that
 
Registered Security
 
(or one
 
or more
Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on
 
the Regular Record Date for such interest.
In case an Unregistered Security of any series
 
is surrendered in exchange for a Registered Security
 
of such
series after the
 
close of business
 
(at an office
 
or agency of
 
the Company in
 
a Place of
 
Payment for such
series) on any Regular
 
Record Date and before
 
the opening of
 
business (at such office
 
or agency) on the
next succeeding Interest
 
Payment Date, such
 
Unregistered Security
 
shall be surrendered
 
without the coupon
relating to such
 
Interest Payment Date and
 
interest will not
 
be payable on
 
such Interest Payment Date
 
in
respect of the Registered
 
Security issued in exchange for
 
such Unregistered Security,
 
but will be payable
only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with provisions
 
of this Indenture.
Any interest on any Registered Security of any series that is payable, but is not punctually paid or
duly provided for, on any
 
Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease
to be payable to the Holder
 
on the relevant Regular Record
 
Date by virtue of having
 
been such Holder, and
 
 
- 20 -
 
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
 
Registered 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
 
Registered 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
Company 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
Company 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 sent electronically
 
or mailed, first-class
 
postage prepaid,
to each Holder of Registered Securities
 
of such series at the address
 
of such Holder 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
sent, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid
 
to the Persons in whose names the
 
Registered 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).
 
In
case an Unregistered Security of any series is surrendered at the
 
office or agency of the Company
in a Place of Payment for such series in exchange for a Registered Security
 
of such series after the
close of business at
 
such office or
 
agency on any Special
 
Record Date and before the
 
opening of
business at such office
 
or agency on the
 
related proposed date for
 
payment of Defaulted Interest,
such Unregistered Security shall be surrendered without
 
the coupon relating to such proposed date
of payment and Defaulted Interest
 
will not be payable on
 
such proposed date of payment
 
in respect
of the Registered Security issued in
 
exchange for such Unregistered Security,
 
but will be payable
only to the Holder of such coupon when due in accordance with the
 
provisions of this Indenture.
2.
 
The Company
 
may make
 
payment of
 
any Defaulted
 
Interest on
 
the Registered
Securities of any series
 
in any other lawful
 
manner not inconsistent with
 
the requirements of any
securities exchange
 
on which
 
such Securities
 
may be
 
listed, and
 
upon such
 
notice as
 
may be
required by such
 
exchange, if, after notice
 
given by the Company
 
to the Trustee
 
of the proposed
payment pursuant
 
to this
 
clause, such
 
manner of
 
payment shall
 
be deemed
 
practicable by
 
the
Trustee.
Subject to the foregoing
 
provisions of this Section,
 
each Registered Security delivered under
 
this
Indenture upon registration
 
of transfer of or
 
in exchange for or
 
in lieu of any
 
other Registered Security shall
carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Registered
Security.
Subject to the
 
limitations set forth
 
in
Section 1002
, the Holder of
 
any coupon appertaining to
 
an
Unregistered Security shall
 
be entitled to receive
 
the interest payable
 
on such coupon
 
upon presentation and
surrender of
 
such coupon
 
on or
 
after the
 
Interest Payment Date
 
of such
 
coupon at
 
an office
 
or agency
maintained for such purpose pursuant to
Section 1002

Section 311.
 
Global Securities; Exchanges; Registration and Registration
 
of Transfer.
 
If
specified as contemplated by
Section 301
, the Securities may be issued in the form of one or more Global
Securities, which shall
 
be deposited with
 
the Depository,
 
and, unless otherwise
 
specified in the
 
form of
Global Security adopted pursuant to
Section 301
, be registered in the name of the Depository’s nominee.
Except as
 
otherwise specified as
 
contemplated by
Section 301
, any
 
permanent Global
 
Security
shall be exchangeable
 
only as provided
 
in this paragraph.
 
If the beneficial
 
owners of interests
 
in a permanent
Global Security
 
are entitled
 
to exchange
 
such interests
 
for Securities
 
of such
 
series of
 
like tenor
 
and
principal amount of
 
another authorized form,
 
as specified as
 
contemplated by
Section 301
, then without
unnecessary delay
 
but in
 
any event
 
not later
 
than the
 
earliest date
 
on which
 
such interests
 
may be
 
so
exchanged, the
 
Company shall
 
deliver to
 
the Trustee
 
definitive Securities
 
of that
 
series in
 
aggregate
 
 
- 22 -
 
principal amount
 
equal to
 
the principal
 
amount of
 
such permanent
 
Global Security,
 
executed by
 
the
Company. On or after
 
the earliest date
 
on which such
 
interests may
 
be so exchanged,
 
such permanent Global
Security shall be surrendered
 
from time to time
 
in accordance with instructions
 
given to the Trustee and
 
the
Depository (which instructions
 
shall be in
 
writing but need
 
not comply with
Section 102
 
or be accompanied
by an Opinion of Counsel)
 
by the Depository or such
 
other depository as shall
 
be specified in the
 
Company
Order with respect
 
thereto to the
 
Trustee, as the
 
Company’s agent for
 
such purpose, to
 
be exchanged, in
whole or in
 
part, for definitive
 
Securities of the
 
same series without
 
charge and the
 
Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver,
 
in exchange for
 
each portion of
 
such permanent Global
 
Security, a
 
like aggregate principal
amount of
 
definitive Securities of
 
the same
 
series of
 
authorized denominations and
 
of like
 
tenor as
 
the
portion of such permanent
 
Global Security to be
 
exchanged which, unless the
 
Securities of the series
 
are
not issuable both as Unregistered Securities
 
and as Registered Securities, as specified
 
as contemplated by
Section 301
, shall be in
 
the form of Unregistered
 
Securities or Registered Securities, or
 
any combination
thereof, as shall be
 
specified by the beneficial
 
owner thereof; provided, however,
 
that no such exchanges
may occur during
 
the periods specified
 
by
Section 305
; and provided,
 
further, that no Unregistered
 
Security
delivered in exchange for a portion of a permanent Global Security shall be mailed or
 
otherwise delivered
to any location in the
 
United States unless the Company
 
has complied with the fourth paragraph
 
of
Section
305
. Promptly following any such exchange
 
in part, such permanent Global
 
Security shall be returned by
the Trustee, to the
 
Depository or such
 
other depository referred
 
to above, in
 
accordance with the
 
instructions
of the Company referred to above.
The Global Security
 
may be transferred
 
to another nominee
 
of the Depository,
 
or to a
 
successor
Depository selected by the Company, and upon surrender for
 
registration of transfer of the Global
 
Security
to the Trustee,
 
the Company shall execute,
 
and the Trustee
 
shall authenticate and deliver,
 
in the name of
the designated transferee, a new Global Security
 
in the same aggregate principal amount.
 
If at any time the
Depository notifies the Company that
 
it is unwilling or
 
unable to continue as
 
Depository and a successor
Depository satisfactory to the Company is
 
not appointed within 90
 
days after the Company receives
 
such
notice, the Company will execute, and the Trustee upon receipt of a Company Order will authenticate and
deliver, Securities in definitive form to
 
the Depository in exchange for the Global Security.
 
In addition, if
at any
 
time the Company
 
determines that it
 
is not in
 
the best
 
interest of the
 
Company or the
 
beneficial
owners of
 
Securities to
 
continue to
 
have a
 
Global Security
 
representing all
 
of the
 
Securities held
 
by a
Depository, the
 
Company may,
 
at its
 
option, execute,
 
and the
 
Trustee will
 
authenticate and
 
deliver,
Securities in
 
definitive form
 
to the
 
Depository in
 
exchange for
 
all or
 
a portion
 
of the
 
Global Security.
Promptly after any such exchange
 
of Securities in definitive
 
form for all or a portion
 
of the Global Security
pursuant to this
 
paragraph, the Company shall
 
promulgate regulations governing registration
 
of transfers
and exchanges of
 
Securities in definitive
 
form, which regulations
 
shall be reasonably
 
satisfactory to the
Trustee and shall thereafter bind every Holder of such Securities.
Section 312.
 
Extension of Interest Payment.
 
The Company shall have the right at any
 
time, so
long as the Company is not in default
 
in the payment of interest on the Securities of
 
any series hereunder,
to extend interest payment periods
 
on all Securities of one
 
or more series, if so
 
specified as contemplated
by
Section 301
 
with respect to such
 
Securities and upon such terms
 
as may be specified
 
as contemplated
by
Section 301
 
with respect to such Securities. If the Company ever so extends any such interest payment
period, the Company shall promptly notify the Trustee in writing.
Section 313.
 
CUSIP Numbers and ISINs
.
 
The Company in issuing
 
any Series of Securities
 
may
use “CUSIP” numbers
 
and ISINs (if
 
then generally in
 
use) and, if
 
so, the Trustee
 
shall use “CUSIP”
 
numbers
and ISINs in notices as
 
a convenience to Holders; provided,
 
however, 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 (including a
 
notice of redemption
 
or exchange) and
 
that reliance may
 
be placed
only on
 
the other
 
identification numbers
 
printed on
 
the Securities,
 
and any
 
such notice
 
or notice
 
of
redemption or exchange shall not be affected by
 
any defect in or omission
 
of such numbers. The Company
 
 
- 23 -
 
shall promptly
 
notify the
 
Trustee in
 
writing of
 
any change
 
in the
 
CUSIP and/or
 
ISIN or
 
other similar
number.

Certificate stating
 
the amount
 
of principal
 
to be

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
 
Event or
 
Events of
 
Default giving
 
rise to
 
such declaration
 
of
acceleration shall,
 
without further
 
act, be
 
deemed to
 
have been
 
waived, and
 
such declaration
 
and its
consequences shall, without further act, be deemed to have been rescinded
 
and annulled, if
(i)
 
the Company has
 
paid or deposited
 
with the Trustee
 
a sum sufficient
 
to
pay
(1)
 
all overdue interest on all Securities of any such series,
(2)
 
the principal of (and
 
premium, if any,
 
on) any Securities of
 
such
series that have
 
become due otherwise
 
than by such declaration

interest thereon at the rate or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities,
(3)
 
 
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
(4)
 
all amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 607
; and
all Events of
 
Default with respect
 
to Securities of
 
that series, other
 
than the non-payment
 
of the
principal of Securities of that series that 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 Event
 
of Default
 
or impair any
 
right consequent
thereon.
Section 503.
 
Collection of Indebtedness and
 
Suits for Enforcement
 
by Trustee.
 
If an Event of
Default described in clause
 
(1) or (2) of
Section 501
 
has occurred and is
 
continuing, the Company shall,
upon demand of
 
the Trustee, pay
 
to it, for
 
the benefit of
 
the Holders of
 
the Securities of
 
the series with
respect to
 
which such
 
Event of
 
Default has occurred,
 
the whole
 
amount then
 
due and
 
payable on such
Securities for principal (and premium, if
 
any) and interest, if
 
any, and, to
 
the extent that payment of
 
such
interest shall be
 
legally enforceable, interest
 
on any overdue
 
principal (and premium, if
 
any) and on
 
any
overdue interest, at
 
the rate or
 
rates prescribed therefor
 
in such Securities,
 
and, in addition
 
thereto, such
further amount as shall be sufficient to cover any amounts due to the Trustee under
Section 607
.
If the Company
 
fails to
 
pay such amounts
 
forthwith upon such
 
demand, the Trustee,
 
in its
 
own
name and as trustee of an
 
express trust, may institute a
 
judicial proceeding for the collection
 
of the sums so
due and
 
unpaid, may prosecute
 
such proceeding to
 
judgment or
 
final decree
 
and may enforce
 
the same
against the Company
 
or any other obligor upon
 
such Securities and collect
 
the moneys adjudged or
 
decreed
to be payable in the manner provided by
 
law out of the property of the Company
 
or any other obligor upon
such Securities, wherever situated.
 
 
- 29 -
 
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 deems
 
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.

any other obligor
 
upon the Securities
 
or the property
 
of the Company
or of such other
 
obligor or their
 
creditors, the Trustee (irrespective
 
of whether the
 
principal of the
 
Securities
shall then be
 
due and payable
 
as therein expressed
 
or by declaration
 
or otherwise and
 
irrespective of whether
the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company
 
for the payment of overdue principal or interest)
shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceeding
 
or otherwise,
(i)
 
to file and prove a claim
 
for the whole amount of principal (and
 
premium,
if any) and interest,
 
if any,

and to file such
other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable

and of
the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and
(ii)

any moneys or other
 
property payable or deliverable

or other similar official
 
in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
 
each Holder to make such payments to
 
the Trustee and, if
 
the
Trustee consents to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay
 
to the Trustee any amount
due it under
Section 607
.
Nothing herein contained
 
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.

of conducting
any proceeding for any remedy available to
 
the Trustee, or exercising any trust
 
or power conferred on the
Trustee, with

provided, however,
 
that if an
 
Event of
Default has occurred
 
and is continuing
 
with respect to
 
more than one
 
series of Senior
 
Securities, the Holders
of a majority in aggregate principal
 
amount of the Outstanding Securities of all
 
such series, considered as
one class, shall have the
 
right to make such direction,
 
and not the Holders
 
of the Senior Securities of
 
any
one of such series, and if an Event of Default
 
has occurred and is continuing with respect to
 
more than one
series of Subordinated
 
Securities, the Holders
 
of a majority
 
in aggregate principal amount
 
of all such series,
considered as one
 
class, shall have
 
the right to
 
make such direction,
 
and not the
 
Holders of the Subordinated
Securities of any one of such series; provided, further that
1.
 
such direction shall not
 
be in conflict with
 
any rule of law

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;
provided that if any
 
such past default has
 
occurred with respect
 
to more than one
 
series of Senior Securities,
the Holders of
 
a majority in
 
aggregate principal amount
 
of the Outstanding
 
Securities of all
 
such series,
considered as one class,
 
may make such waiver,
 
and not the Holders
 
of any one of
 
such series; provided
further that
 
if any
 
such past
 
default has
 
occurred with
 
respect to
 
more than
 
one series
 
of Subordinated
Securities, the Holders of
 
a majority in aggregate
 
principal amount of the
 
Outstanding Securities of all
 
such
series, considered as one
 
class, may make such
 
waiver, and not
 
the Holders of any
 
one of such
 
series, in
each case except a default
1.
 
in the
 
payment of the
 
principal of (or
 
premium, if any)

if any,
 
on any
Security of such series, or

in respect
 
of a
 
covenant or
 
provision hereof
 
that under
Section 902
 
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.
 
All parties to this Indenture
 
agree, and each Holder of
 
any
Security by his
 
acceptance thereof shall
 
be deemed to
 
have agreed, that
 
any court may
 
in its
 
discretion
require, 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, the filing
 
by any party litigant in such
suit of an
 
undertaking to pay
 
the costs of
 
such suit, and
 
that such court
 
may in its
 
discretion assess reasonable
costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the
merits and good
 
faith of the
 
claims or defenses
 
made by such
 
party litigant; but
 
the provisions of
 
this Section
shall not
 
apply to
 
any suit instituted

suit
instituted by
 
any Holder,
 
or group
 
of Holders,
 
holding in
 
the aggregate
 
more than
 
10% in
 
aggregate
principal amount of the Outstanding Securities
 
of all series in respect

such duties
 
and only
 
such duties
 
as are
 
specifically set
 
forth in
 
this Indenture,
 
and no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the
 
Trustee; and
(ii)
 
in the
 
absence of bad
 
faith on its
 
part, the
 
Trustee may,
 
with respect to
Securities of
 
such series,
 
conclusively rely,
 
as to
 
the truth
 
of the
 
statements and
 
the
correctness of the opinions
 
expressed therein, upon certificates
 
or opinions furnished
 
to the
Trustee and conforming to the
 
requirements of this Indenture; but in the
 
case of any such
certificates or
 
 
- 33 -
 
(iii)
 
opinions which
 
by any
 
provision hereof
 
are specifically
 
required to
 
be
furnished to the
 
Trustee, the Trustee shall
 
be under a
 
duty to examine
 
the same to
 
determine
whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.
(b)
 
If an Event of Default with respect
 
to Securities of any series has occurred
 
and is
continuing, the Trustee
 
shall exercise, with respect
 
to Securities of such
 
series, such of the
 
rights
and powers vested
 
in it by
 
this Indenture, and use
 
the same degree
 
of care and skill
 
in their exercise,
as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
 
conduct of his own affairs.
(c)
 
No provision
 
of this
 
Indenture shall
 
be construed
 
to relieve
 
the Trustee
 
from
liability for its own negligent
 
action, its own negligent failure
 
to act, or its own
 
willful misconduct,
except that
(i)
 
this subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect of sub-section (a)
of this Section;
(ii)
 
the Trustee shall not
 
be liable for
 
any error of judgment
 
made in good
 
faith
by a
 
Responsible Officer,
 
unless it
 
shall be
 
proved that
 
the Trustee
 
was negligent
 
in
ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(iii)
 
the Trustee shall not
 
be liable with respect to any action
 
taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good
 
faith in accordance with the
 
direction of the Holders of

in aggregate principal amount of the
 
Outstanding Securities of any one or
 
more series, as
provided herein, relating to the
 
time, method and place of
 
conducting any proceeding for
any remedy available to
 
the Trustee, or
 
exercising any trust or
 
power conferred upon the
Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and
(iv)
 
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 has
 
reasonable
grounds for believing
 
that repayment of
 
such funds or
 
adequate indemnity against
 
such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
(d)
 
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.

principal of (or premium,
 
if any) or
 
interest, if any,
 
on any
Security of such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment
 
with respect to Securities of such
series, the Trustee shall be
 
protected in withholding such
 
notice if and so
 
long as it in
 
good faith determines
that the
 
withholding of such
 
notice is in
 
the interest of
 
the Holders of
 
Securities of such
 
series. For the
purpose of this Section, the term “default” means any event that is,

to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
2.
 
except as
 
otherwise expressly
 
provided herein,
 
to reimburse

disbursements and advances incurred or made

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

each successor
Trustee with respect to the

shall execute and deliver an indenture
supplemental hereto wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such
 
appointment and which (1)
shall contain such provisions
 
as shall be necessary
 
or desirable to transfer
 
and confirm to, and
 
to
vest in, each successor Trustee all
 
the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee
 
with
respect to the Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of
 
such successor Trustee
relates, (2) if
 
the retiring Trustee
 
is not retiring
 
with respect to
 
all Securities, shall
 
contain such
provisions as shall be
 
deemed necessary or desirable
 
to confirm that all
 
the rights, powers, trusts
and duties of the
 
retiring Trustee with
 
respect to the Securities
 
of that or those
 
series as to which
the retiring Trustee is
 
not retiring shall continue to
 
be vested in the
 
retiring Trustee, and
 
(3) shall
add to
 
or change any
 
of the provisions
 
of this Indenture
 
as shall
 
be necessary to
 
provide for or
facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder
 
by more than one Trustee,
 
it being understood
that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such
 
Trustees co-trustees of
the same trust and that each such Trustee shall be
 
trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder
 
separate and
apart from
 
any trust
 
or trusts
 
hereunder administered by
 
any other
 
such Trustee;
 
and upon

become effective
 
to the
 
extent provided therein

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, after
deducting all amounts
 
owed to the retiring
 
Trustee pursuant to
Section 607
, all property
 
and money
 
 
- 39 -
 
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.
(c)
 
Upon request of any
 
such successor Trustee, the
 
Company shall execute any and
all instruments for more fully
 
and certainly vesting in and confirming
 
to such successor Trustee all
such rights, powers and trusts
 
referred to in paragraph (a)
 
or (b) of this Section,
 
as the case may
 
be.

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.

not have been authenticated by
such predecessor Trustee,
 
any such successor
 
Trustee may authenticate
 
and deliver such
 
Securities, in either
its own name or that of its

Section 614.
 
Appointment of
 
Authenticating Agent.
 
At any
 
time when
 
any of
 
the Securities
remain Outstanding the Trustee
 
may appoint an Authenticating Agent
 
or Agents (which may include
 
any
Person that
 
owns, directly or
 
indirectly, all
 
of the capital
 
stock of the
 
Trustee or
 
a corporation that
 
is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of
 
the Trustee
 
or of
 
such other
 
Person) with
 
respect to
 
one or
 
more series
 
of
Securities, or any Tranche
 
thereof, that shall be
 
authorized to act on
 
behalf of the Trustee
 
to authenticate
Securities of
 
such series
 
or Tranche
 
issued upon
 
original issuance, 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. The Trustee shall send
 
written notice of
 
such appointment electronically
 
or by first-class
mail, postage
 
prepaid, to
 
all Holders
 
of Securities
 
of the
 
series or
 
Tranche with
 
respect to
 
which such
Authenticating Agent will serve, and which are entitled to receive reports pursuant to
Section 704(3)
 
and,
if any Unregistered
 
Securities are outstanding, by
 
publishing notice of
 
such event once
 
in an Authorized
Newspaper in The City of New York
 
and, if any Unregistered Securities are listed on
 
any stock exchange
outside of the
 
United States, in
 
the city in
 
which such stock
 
exchange is located.
 
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 $1,000,000
 
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
 
 
 
 
- 40 -
 
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 ceases to be
 
eligible in accordance with
 
the provisions of this
 
Section,
such Authenticating Agent
 
shall resign
 
immediately in
 
the manner
 
and with
 
the effect
 
specified in
 
this
Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating
 
Agent may be merged or converted or
 
with which it
may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from
 
any merger, conversion
 
or consolidation to which
such Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate
agency or
 
corporate trust
 
business of
 
an Authenticating
 
Agent, shall
 
continue to
 
be an
Authenticating Agent, provided such
 
corporation shall be otherwise
 
eligible under this Section,
 
without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
 
the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may
 
resign with respect
 
to one or more
 
series of Securities 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 with
 
respect to one
 
or more series of
 
Securities 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 ceases
 
to be
eligible in
 
accordance with the
 
provisions of this
 
Section, the Trustee
 
may appoint a
 
successor
Authenticating Agent that is
 
acceptable to the Company
 
and shall provide notice
 
of such appointment to
 
all
Holders of Securities of the series or Tranche with respect to which such Authenticating Agent will serve,
as provided in
 
paragraph (a) of
 
this Section. 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. An Authenticating
 
Agent
appointed pursuant to this Section shall be entitled to rely on
Sections 111, 308, 604
 
and
605
 
hereunder.
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 the Securities
 
of one or more
 
series, or any Tranche
 
thereof, is
made pursuant
 
to this
 
Section, the
 
Securities of
 
such series
 
or Tranche
 
may have
 
endorsed thereon,
 
in
addition to
 
the Trustee’s
 
certificate of
 
authentication, an
 
alternate certificate
 
of authentication
 
in the
following form:
This is
 
one of
 
the Securities
 
of the
 
series designated
 
pursuant to
 
and issued
 
under the
 
within-
mentioned Indenture.

does
not have an office capable
 
of authenticating Securities
 
upon original issuance
 
located in a Place

where the
 
Company wishes

Securities of

authenticated upon
 
original issuance,
 
the
Trustee, if so requested by the Company in writing
 
(which writing need not comply with
Section 102
 
and
need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel), shall appoint, in accordance with this Section and in
accordance with such procedures as shall be acceptable to the Trustee, an Authenticating Agent (which, if
so requested by the Company, may be an Affiliate
 
of the Company) having
 
an office in a Place of Payment
designated by the Company with respect to such series of Securities.

(b)
 
If three or more Holders

apply in writing to the
Trustee, and furnish to the Trustee reasonable proof that each such applicant has owned
 
a Security
for a period
 
of at least

the date of
 
such application, and
 
such application states
that the applicants desire to communicate with other Holders
 
with respect to their rights under this
Indenture or
 
under the
 
Securities and
 
is accompanied
 
by a
 
copy of
 
the form
 
of proxy
 
or other
communication that such
 
applicants propose to
 
transmit, then the
 
Trustee shall, within five
 
business
days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either
(i)
 
afford such applicants access
 
to the information preserved at
 
the time by
the Trustee in accordance with
Section 702(a)

Holders whose
names and
 
addresses appear
 
in the
 
information preserved at
 
the time
 
by the
 
Trustee in
accordance with
Section 702(a

proxy or other communication that is specified
 
in such request, with reasonable promptness after

such tender the Trustee
 
shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together with a
 
copy of the material to be mailed, a written
statement to the effect
 
that, in the opinion
 
of the Trustee, such
 
mailing would be contrary
 
to the best interest
of the Holders or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify the basis of
such opinion. If
 
the Commission, after
 
opportunity for a
 
hearing upon the
 
objections specified in
 
the written
statement so filed, enters
 
an order refusing to sustain
 
any of such objections or
 
if, after the entry of
 
an order
sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission finds, after notice and opportunity for hearing,
that all the objections
 
so sustained have been met
 
and enters an order so
 
declaring, the Trustee shall
 
mail
copies of such material
 
to all such Holders
 
with reasonable promptness
 
after the entry of
 
such order and the

such applicants; otherwise the Trustee shall
 
be relieved of any obligation
 
or duty
to such applicants respecting their application.

in accordance with
Section 702(b)
, regardless of
 
the source
from which such
 
information was derived,

accountable by
reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under

Without limiting the generality of
 
the foregoing, if the Trust
 
Indenture Act as in effect at
 
the date
of the execution and delivery of this Indenture or at any time
 
thereafter becomes amended and
(x) if
 
any such
 
amendment requires
 
one or
 
more changes
 
to any
 
provisions hereof
 
or the
inclusion herein of any
 
additional provisions, or by
 
operation of law is
 
deemed to effect such

by reference or
 
otherwise, this Indenture
 
shall be deemed
 
to have been
 
amended
so as to
 
conform to such amendment
 
to the Trust
 
Indenture Act, and the
 
Company and the Trustee
 
may,
without the consent of any Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to effect or evidence such
changes or additional provisions; or

any such
 
amendment permits
 
one or
 
more changes
 
to, or
 
the elimination
 
of, any
provisions hereof that, at the date hereof or
 
at any time thereafter, are
 
required by the Trust Indenture
 
Act
to be contained
 
herein (or if it
 
is no longer
 
required by the TIA
 
for the Indenture to
 
contain one or more
provisions), this Indenture
 
shall be deemed
 
to have been
 
amended to effect
 
such changes or
 
elimination,
and the
 
Company and
 
the Trustee
 
may, without
 
the consent
 
of any
 
Holders, enter
 
into an
 
indenture
supplemental hereto to evidence such amendment hereof; or
(z) if,
 
by reason of any such amendment, it
 
shall be no longer necessary for
 
this Indenture to
contain one or
 
more provisions that, at
 
the date of
 
the execution and
 
delivery hereof, are required
 
by the
Trust Indenture Act to be contained herein, the Company and the Trustee
 
may, without the consent of any
Holders, enter into an indenture supplemental hereto to effect the elimination of such
 
provisions.

any manner the rights
 
of the Holders
of Securities of
 
such series or

Section,

certain other provisions of
 
this
Indenture cannot
 
be modified
 
or waived
 
without the
 
consent of
 
the Holder
 
of each
Outstanding Security
 
affected thereby,
 
provided, however,
 
that this
 
clause shall
 
not be
deemed to require the

in this Section and
Section 1007
, or the deletion
 
of
this proviso, in accordance with the requirements of
Sections 611(b)
 
and
901(9).
 
A supplemental
 
indenture that
 
changes or
 
eliminates any
 
covenant or
 
other provision
 
of this
Indenture that
 
has expressly
 
been included
 
solely for
 
the benefit
 
of one
 
or more
 
particular series
 
of
Securities, or one or more Tranches thereof, or that modifies the rights
 
of the Holders of Securities of such
series or Tranches with respect to such
 
covenant or other provision, shall
 
be deemed not to affect the
 
rights
under this Indenture of the Holders of Securities of any other series or Tranche.
It shall not be
 
necessary for any Act of
 
Holders under this Section
 
to approve the particular form
of any proposed supplemental
 
indenture, but it shall
 
be sufficient if such
 
Act shall approve the
 
substance
thereof. A waiver by a Holder of such
 
Holder’s rights to consent under this Section shall
 
be deemed to be
a consent of such Holder.
Section 903.
 
Execution of Supplemental
 
Indentures
.
 
In executing, or
 
accepting the additional
trusts created by, any supplemental
 
indenture permitted by this Article or the modifications thereby of the
trusts created by this Indenture, the
 
Trustee shall be entitled to
 
receive, and (subject
to Section 601
) shall
be fully
 
protected in
 
relying upon,
 
an Officer’s
 
Certificate and
 
an Opinion
 
of Counsel
 
stating that
 
the
execution of
 
such supplemental
 
indenture is
 
authorized or
 
permitted by
 
this Indenture
 
and that
 
such
amendment, supplement
 
or waiver
 
is the
 
legal, valid
 
and binding
 
obligation the
 
Company, enforceable
against it in accordance with its
 
terms, subject to customary exceptions, and complies
 
with the provisions
hereof (including
Section 905
). The
 
Trustee may,
 
but shall
 
not be
 
obligated to,
 
enter into
 
any such
supplemental indenture that affects the
 
Trustee’s own
 
rights, duties or immunities under
 
this Indenture or
otherwise.
Section 904.
 
Effect of
 
Supplemental Indentures.
 
Upon the
 
execution of
 
any supplemental
indenture under this
 
Article, this Indenture
 
shall be modified
 
in accordance therewith,
 
and such
supplemental indenture shall form a part of this Indenture for all purposes;
 
and every Holder of Securities
theretofore or thereafter authenticated and delivered hereunder shall be bound thereby. Any
 
supplemental
indenture permitted by this
 
Article may restate this
 
Indenture in its entirety,
 
and, upon the execution
 
and
delivery thereof, any
 
such restatement shall
 
supersede this Indenture
 
as theretofore in
 
effect for all
 
purposes.
Section 905.
 
Conformity With
 
Trust Indenture
 
Act.
 
Every supplemental
 
indenture executed
pursuant to this Article shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then in effect.
Section 906.
 
Reference in
 
Securities to Supplemental
 
Indentures.
 
Securities of any
 
series, or
any Tranche thereof,
 
authenticated and delivered
 
after the execution
 
of any supplemental
 
indenture pursuant
to this Article may, and shall if required by the Trustee, bear a notation in form
 
approved by the Trustee as
to any matter provided for in
 
such supplemental indenture. If the Company so determines,
 
new Securities
of any
 
series, or
 
any Tranche
 
thereof, and
 
any appertaining coupons
 
so modified as
 
to conform, in
 
the
opinion of the
 
Trustee and the Company, to
 
any such supplemental
 
indenture may be
 
prepared and executed
by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Securities of
such series or Tranche and any appertaining coupons.
Section 907.
 
Revocation and
 
Effect of
 
Consents.
 
Until an
 
amendment or
 
waiver becomes
effective, a
 
consent to
 
it by
 
a Holder
 
of a
 
Security is
 
a continuing
 
consent by
 
the Holder
 
and every
subsequent Holder of
 
a Security or
 
portion of a
 
Security that evidences
 
the same debt
 
as the consenting
 
 
- 49 -
 
Holder’s Security, even if
 
notation of the consent is not made on any Security.
 
However, any such Holder
or subsequent
 
Holder may revoke
 
the consent
 
as to
 
his Security
 
or portion
 
of a
 
Security if
 
the Trustee
receives the
 
notice of
 
revocation before the
 
date on
 
which the
 
Trustee receives
 
an Officer’s
 
Certificate
certifying that the Holders
 
of the requisite principal
 
amount of Securities have
 
consented to the amendment
or waiver.
 
After an amendment or
 
waiver becomes effective,
 
it shall bind
 
every Holder of
 
each series of
Securities affected by such amendment or waiver.
The Company may, but
 
shall not be obligated to, fix
 
a record date for the purpose
 
of determining
the Holders entitled to consent to any amendment
 
or waiver. If a record date is fixed, then notwithstanding
the provisions of
 
the immediately preceding
 
paragraph, those persons
 
who were Holders
 
at such record
 
date
(or their duly designated proxies), and only those
 
persons, shall be entitled to consent to such
 
amendment
or waiver or to
 
revoke any consent previously given,
 
whether or not such
 
persons continue to be Holders
after such record date.
After an amendment or waiver
 
becomes effective it shall bind every
 
Holder, unless it is of the type
described in any of clauses (1) through (3) of
Section 902(c)
. In such case, the amendment or waiver shall
bind each Holder
 
of a
 
Security who has
 
consented to it
 
and every subsequent
 
Holder of a
 
Security that
evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder’s Security.
Section 908.
 
Modification Without Supplemental Indenture.
 
If the terms
 
of any particular series
of Securities have
 
been established in
 
a Board Resolution
 
or an Officer’s
 
Certificate as contemplated by
Section 301
, and not in
 
an indenture supplemental hereto,
 
additions to, changes in
 
or the elimination of
 
any
of such terms may
 
be effected by means of a
 
supplemental Board Resolution or
 
Officer’s Certificate, as the
case may be, delivered to, and accepted by, the Trustee;
 
provided, however, that such supplemental Board
Resolution or Officer’s Certificate shall not be accepted by the Trustee or otherwise be effective unless all
conditions set forth
 
in this Indenture
 
that would be
 
required to be
 
satisfied if such
 
additions, changes or
elimination were contained in
 
a supplemental indenture shall
 
have been appropriately satisfied.
 
Upon the
acceptance thereof by the
 
Trustee, any such
 
supplemental Board Resolution or
 
Officer’s Certificate shall
be deemed to be a “supplemental indenture” for purposes of
Sections 904
 
and
906
.

of each series by
check or draft. If a payment date is
 
not a Business Day, payment may be made on the next succeeding
 
date
that is a Business Day.
Unless otherwise provided in the Securities of a series, interest, if any, on Registered Securities of
a series shall be paid by check or draft on each Interest Payment Date for such series to the Holder thereof
at the close of business
 
on the relevant record
 
dates specified in the
 
Securities of such series.
 
The Company
may pay such
 
interest by check
 
or draft mailed
 
to such Holder’s
 
address as it
 
appears on the
 
register for
Securities of such
 
series. Unless otherwise
 
provided in the
 
Securities of a
 
series, principal of
 
Registered
Securities shall be payable
 
by check or draft
 
and only against presentation
 
and surrender of such
 
Registered
 
 
- 50 -
 
Securities at the
 
office of the Paying
 
Agent, unless the Company
 
shall have otherwise instructed
 
the Trustee
in writing.
Unless otherwise
 
provided in
 
the Securities
 
of a
 
series, (i)
 
interest, if
 
any, on
 
Unregistered
Securities shall be
 
paid by check
 
or draft and
 
only against presentation and
 
surrender of the
 
coupons for
such interest installments
 
as are evidenced
 
thereby as they
 
mature and (ii)
 
original issue discount
 
(as defined
in Section 1273
 
of the Code), if
 
any, on
 
Unregistered Securities shall be
 
paid by check or
 
draft and only
against presentation and surrender of such Securities, in either case at the office of a Paying Agent located
outside of the United States and
 
its possessions, unless the Company has otherwise
 
instructed the Trustee
in an Officer’s Certificate.
 
Unless otherwise provided
 
in the Securities
 
of a series,
 
principal of and
 
premium,
if any, of Unregistered Securities
 
shall be paid
 
by check or
 
draft and only
 
against presentation and
 
surrender
of such Securities
 
as provided in
 
the Securities of
 
a series. If
 
at the time
 
a payment of
 
principal of and
premium, if any, or interest,
 
if any, or original issue discount,
 
if any, on an Unregistered Security
 
or coupon
becomes due and the payment
 
of the full amount
 
so payable at the
 
office or offices of all the
 
Paying Agents
outside the United States and
 
its possessions is illegal or
 
effectively precluded because of the imposition
 
of
exchange controls or other
 
similar restrictions on the
 
payment of such amount
 
in United States currency,
then the Company may instruct the Trustee in an Officer’s Certificate to make such payments at the office
of a Paying Agent located in the United States.
 
The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it
 
shall not
so instruct
 
the Trustee
 
with respect to
 
payment in the
 
United States if
 
such payment would
 
cause such
Unregistered Security
 
to be
 
treated as
 
a “registration
 
-required obligation”
 
under United
 
States law
 
and
regulations.
At the election of the
 
Company, any payments by the Company
 
provided for in this Indenture
 
or in
any of the Securities may be made by electronic funds transfer.
Section 1002.
 
Maintenance of Office
 
or Agency.
 
The Company will
 
maintain in each
 
Place of
Payment for
 
any series
 
of Securities,
 
or any
 
Tranche thereof,
 
an office
 
or agency
 
where Registered
Securities, or any Tranche thereof,
 
of that series may
 
be surrendered for registration
 
of transfer or exchange
and a Place of Payment where (subject to
Sections 305
 
and
307
) Securities may be presented for payment
or exchange and
 
where notices and
 
demands to or
 
upon the Company in
 
respect of the
 
Securities of that
series and this Indenture may be served. With respect to
 
any series of Securities issued in whole or in part
as Unregistered Securities, the Company shall maintain one or more
 
Paying
Agents located outside
 
the United States
 
and its possessions
 
and shall maintain
 
such Paying Agents
for a period
 
of one year
 
after the principal
 
of such Unregistered
 
Securities has become due
 
and payable.
During any
 
period thereafter
 
for which
 
it is
 
necessary in
 
order to
 
conform to
 
United States
 
tax law
 
or
regulations, the Company
 
will maintain a
 
Paying Agent outside
 
the United States
 
and its possessions
 
to
which the Unregistered Securities or coupons appertaining thereto may be presented for payment and will
provide the necessary funds therefor to such Paying Agent upon reasonable notice. The Security Registrar
shall keep
 
a register
 
with respect
 
to each
 
series of
 
Securities issued
 
in whole
 
or in
 
part as
 
Registered
Securities and to
 
their transfer and
 
exchange. The Company
 
may appoint one
 
or more co-Security
 
Registrars
acceptable to the Trustee
 
and one or more
 
additional Paying Agents for
 
each series of Securities,
 
and the
Company may terminate the appointment
 
of any co-Security Registrar
 
or Paying Agent at
 
any time upon
written notice. The term
 
“Security Registrar” includes any
 
co-Security Registrar. The term “Paying
 
Agent”
includes any additional Paying
 
Agent. The Company shall
 
notify the Trustee
 
of the name and
 
address of
any Agent not a party to
 
this Indenture. Subject to
Section 305
, if the Company
 
fails to maintain a Security
Registrar or Paying Agent, the Trustee
 
shall act as such. The Company will
 
give prompt written notice to
the Trustee
 
of the location,
 
and any change
 
in the location,
 
of such office
 
or agency.
 
If at any
 
time the
Company fails to
 
maintain any such
 
required office or
 
agency or fails
 
to furnish the
 
Trustee with the address
thereof, such presentations, surrenders,
 
notices and demands may
 
be made or served at the
 
Corporate Trust
Office of
 
the Trustee,
 
and the
 
Company hereby
 
appoints the
 
Trustee as
 
its agent
 
to receive
 
all such
presentations, surrenders, notices and demands.
 
 
- 51 -
 
The Company may also from
 
time to time designate
 
one or more other offices
 
or agencies where
the Securities of one or more series may be presented or surrendered for any or all such purposes and may
from time to
 
time rescind such
 
designations; provided, however, that
 
no such designation
 
or rescission shall
in any
 
manner relieve
 
the Company of
 
its obligation
 
to maintain
 
an office
 
or agency
 
in each
 
Place of
Payment for Securities
 
of any series
 
for such purposes. The
 
Company will give prompt
 
written notice to
the Trustee of any such designation or rescission
 
and of any change in the location
 
of any such other office
or agency.
In the
 
case of
 
Original Issue
 
Discount Securities
 
of a
 
series, the
 
Company shall,
 
prior to
 
any
Redemption Date or any
 
Repayment Date applicable
 
thereto, furnish the
 
Trustee with an
 
Officer’s
Certificate stating
 
the amount
 
of principal
 
to be
 
paid to
 
a Holder
 
of $1,000
 
principal amount
 
of such
Securities.
Anything herein to the
 
contrary notwithstanding, any
 
office or agency required
 
by this Section
 
may
be maintained at any office of the Company in which event the Company shall perform all functions to be
performed at such office or agency.
Section 1003.
 
Money for Securities
 
Payments to Be
 
Held in Trust.

any time
acts as its own Paying Agent with respect to any series of Securities,
 
or any Tranche thereof, it will, on or

Paying Agents for any series of Securities,
 
it will, on or
prior to (and
 
if on, then
 
before 11:00 a.m.
 
(New York
 
City time)) each
 
due date of
 
the principal of
 
(and
premium, if any)
 
or interest, if
 
any, on
 
such Securities, deposit
 
with a Paying Agent
 
a sum sufficient
 
(in
immediately available funds,
 
if payment is made
 
on the due date)
 
to pay the principal
 
(and premium, if
 
any)
or interest so
 
becoming due, such
 
sum to be
 
held in trust
 
for the benefit
 
of the Persons
 
entitled to such
principal, premium or interest, and (unless
 
such Paying Agent is the Trustee)
 
the Company will promptly
notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause
 
each Paying Agent for
 
any series of Securities,
 
or any Tranche
 
thereof,
other than the Trustee,
 
to execute and deliver
 
to the Trustee an
 
instrument in which
 
such Paying Agent
 
shall
agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section, that such Paying Agent will:
1.
 
hold all sums held by it for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or
interest, if any, on Securities
 
of such series or
 
Tranche in trust for the
 
benefit of the
 
Persons entitled
thereto until such sums are paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein
 
provided;
2.
 
give the Trustee
 
notice of any
 
default by the
 
Company (or any
 
other obligor upon
the Securities of such series or Tranche) in the making of any payment of principal
 
(and premium,
if any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series or Tranche; and
3.
 
at any time during the
 
continuance of any such
 
default, upon the written request
 
of
the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
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.

by
the Company, in

of (and premium, if any) or
 
interest, if any,
 
on any
Security of any series and remaining unclaimed for two
 
years (or such shorter period for the return of such
moneys to the Company under applicable abandoned property laws) after
 
such principal (and premium, if
any) 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
 
Borough of Manhattan,
 
The City of

money remains unclaimed
and that, after
 
a date specified
 
therein, which shall
 
not be less
 
than 30 days
 
from the date
 
of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to
 
the Company.

. Subject to Article VIII, the Company will do
 
or cause to be
done all things necessary
 
to preserve and keep
 
in full force and
 
effect its corporate existence,
 
rights (charter
and statutory) and franchises; provided,
 
however, that the
 
Company shall not be required
 
to preserve any
such right or franchise if, in the
 
judgment of the Company,
 
the preservation thereof is no longer desirable
in the conduct of the business of
 
the Company and the loss thereof is not
 
disadvantageous in any material
respect to the Holders of Securities of any series or Tranche in any material respect.

or portions thereof;
 
 
- 53 -

specified in an Opinion of
 
Counsel, cause the Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series to have a conflicting interest as defined in
Section 608
 
and
for purposes of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to the Securities of such series;
3.
 
Such deposit will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under,

which
it is bound;

5.
 
The Company shall
 
have delivered to
 
the Trustee an Opinion
 
of Counsel to the
 
effect
that Holders of the Securities
 
of such series will not
 
realize income, gain or loss
 
for federal income
tax purposes as a result of such
 
deposit and defeasance of certain obligations
 
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 defeasance had not occurred;
6.
 
The Company has delivered
 
to the Trustee
 
an Officer’s Certificate
 
and an Opinion
of Counsel, each stating
 
that all conditions precedent
 
herein provided for relating

particular series, or, in
 
the absence of any
 
such provision, by
 
such method as the

selection for redemption of
 
portions (equal to
the minimum
 
authorized denomination
 
for Securities
 
of that
 
series or
 
Tranche or
 
any integral
 
multiple
thereof) of the principal amount
 
of Securities of such series
 
or Tranche of
 
a denomination larger than
 
the

as
indicated in an Officer’s
 
Certificate, the Company has
 
offered to purchase
 
all or any principal
 
amount of
the Securities then Outstanding
 
of any series, or any
 
Tranche thereof, and less than all of
 
such Securities as
to which such
 
offer was made
 
have been tendered
 
to the Company
 
for such purchase,
 
the Trustee,
 
if so
directed by Company Order, shall select for redemption all or any principal amount of such Securities that
have not been so tendered.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of Securities of any
series, or
 
any Tranche
 
thereof, 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, or any
Tranche thereof, is herein
 
referred to as an “optional
 
sinking fund payment”. If provided for
 
by the terms

or any Tranche
 
thereof, 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

it was made
 
as provided for

Unregistered Securities, with
 
all unmatured coupons
 
appertaining thereto, in respect
of which a mandatory sinking fund payment is to be made and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of such
series or Tranche
 
that 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

be made pursuant to the terms of
 
such Securities as provided for

terms of
 
such series,
 
provided that
 
such Securities
 
have not
 
been previously

Such
Securities shall be received and credited for
 
such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption
 
Price specified
in such Securities
 
for redemption through
 
operation of the
 
sinking fund and
 
the amount of
 
such sinking

that series or Tranche pursuant

thereof, if
 
any, which

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. If the Company has not

to the extent applicable, all
such Securities, the next
 
succeeding sinking fund
 
payment for such series
 
or Tranche shall be made
 
entirely
in cash
 
in the
 
amount of
 
the mandatory sinking
 
fund payment. 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
