Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.
 
(c)    If the Company wishes to solicit any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act provided or permitted by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders of Securities, other than any such action provided or permitted to be taken under Section 6.01, 6.02, 6.07 or 6.12, the Company may fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities entitled to give or take any such action. Such record date shall be not earlier than the 30th day prior to the first solicitation of any Holder to give or take any such action and not later than the date of such first solicitation. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of Securities, only the Holders of Securities on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take the relevant action. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of any such record date not later than the date of the first solicitation of any Holder to give or take any action.
 
(d)    The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security Register.

(e)    Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu thereof in respect of anything done, omitted or suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Security.
 
Section 1.05. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
 
(a)    the Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder when received by the Trustee if made, given, furnished or filed in writing if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid to the Trustee at UMB Bank, N.A., Attention: Anthony Hawkins, Corporate Trust Division, 2401 Grand Boulevard, Kansas City, MO 64108, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Company by the Trustee, or
 
(b)    the Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of this instrument, to the attention of its Treasurer, with a separate copy to its General Counsel (provided that the failure of any Holder to send a separate copy shall not affect the sufficiency of the notice), or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Trustee by the Company.
 
Section 1.06. Notice to Holders; Waiver. Where this Indenture provides for notice to Holders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Depositary. In any case where notice to Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Holder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Holders. Where this Indenture provides for notice in any manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Holders shall be filed with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
 
In case by reason of the suspension of regular mail service or by reason of any other cause it shall be impracticable to give such notice by mail, then such notification as shall be made with the approval of the Trustee shall constitute a sufficient notification for every purpose hereunder.

Section 1.07. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the Trust Indenture Act that is required thereunder to be a part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control. If any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the Trust Indenture Act that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provision shall be deemed to apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.
 
Section 1.08. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
 
Section 1.09. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not.
 
Section 1.10. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
Section 1.11. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture or in the Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and their successors hereunder and the Holders of Securities, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.
 
Section 1.12. Governing Law. This Indenture and the Securities shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.
 
Section 1.13. Legal Holidays. In any case where any Installment Payment Date or the Stated Maturity of the Securities shall not be a Business Day at any Place of Payment, then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the Securities) payment of interest or principal need not be made at such Place of Payment on such date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day at such Place of Payment with the same force and effect as if made on the Installment Payment Date or at Stated Maturity, provided that no interest shall accrue for the period from and after such Installment Payment Date or Stated Maturity, as the case may be.
 
Section 1.14. Miscellaneous. Copies, telecopies, facsimiles, electronic files and other reproductions of original executed documents shall be deemed to be authentic and valid counterparts of such original documents for all purposes, including the filing of any claim, action or suit in the appropriate court of law.

Delta Air Lines, Inc., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein called the “Company”, which term includes any successor Person under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to ______________ or registered assigns, the principal sum of $____________ payable as set forth herein and to pay interest on the principal outstanding from time to time from May 1, 2007 or from the most recent Installment Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, on the first day of each month commencing June 1, 2007, at the rate of 8% per annum, until the principal hereof is paid or made available for payment. In furtherance of such obligation, the Company shall make installment payments of $886,129 comprising both principal and interest (the “Installment Payment”) payable on each Installment Payment Date commencing June 1, 2007, until all such principal and interest thereon shall be fully paid. Schedule 1 to this Security sets forth each Installment Payment and the amount of principal and interest thereof on each Installment Payment Date.

The interest and principal so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Installment Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest, which shall be the 15th day of the month (whether or not a Business Day), as the case may be, next preceding such Installment Payment Date. Any such interest not so punctually paid or duly provided for will forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on such Regular Record Date and may either be paid to the Person in whose name this Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Installment to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of Securities not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, all as more fully provided in said Indenture. Payment of the principal of and interest on this Security will be made at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for that purpose in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided further that the Company shall use commercially-reasonably efforts to make payments of principal and interest required to be made on any particular Installment Payment Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds by noon (New York City time) on such Installment Payment Date.
 
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Security set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
 
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this instrument to be duly executed.

Section 2.03. Form of Reverse of Security. This Security is one of a duly authorized issue of securities of the Company, limited in aggregate principal amount to $65,875,000 issued and to be issued under an Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2007 (herein called the “Indenture”), between the Company and UMB Bank, N.A., as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee”, which term includes any successor trustee under the Indenture), to which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities and of the terms upon which the Securities are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The Securities issued and to be issued under the Indenture are the 8% Senior Notes due 2015 and are hereinafter called the “Securities”.
 
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the principal of all the Securities may be declared due and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture.
 
The Indenture contains provision for defeasance at any time of (1) the entire indebtedness of this Security or (2) certain Events of Default with respect to this Security, in each case upon compliance with certain conditions set forth in the Indenture.
 
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding, on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Security and of any Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Security.
 
As set forth in, and subject to, the provisions of the Indenture, no Holder of any Security will have any right to institute any proceeding with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy thereunder, unless such Holder shall have previously given to the Trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default, the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities shall have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity, to the Trustee to institute such proceeding as trustee, and the Trustee shall not have received from the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities a direction inconsistent with such request and shall have failed to institute such
 

 
14

 

proceedings within 60 days; provided, however, that such limitations do not apply to a suit instituted by the Holder hereof for the enforcement of payment of the principal of or any interest on this Security on or after the respective due dates expressed herein.
 
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and interest on this Security at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency, herein prescribed.
 
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Security is registrable in the Security Register, upon surrender of this Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed by, the Holder hereof or its attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Securities of like tenor, of authorized denominations and for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
 
The Securities are issuable only in registered form without coupons in denominations of any whole dollar amount. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Securities are exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of a different authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
 
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of transfer or exchange.
 
In the event any Holder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Security Registrar, the Security Registrar or the Company may make a charge against such Holder sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such amount may be deducted by the Security Registrar or the Company from amount otherwise payable to such Holder.
 
Prior to due presentment of this Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Security is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
All terms used in this Security which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

By:  ___________________________
 
       Authorized Signatory

 
ARTICLE 3
THE SECURITIES
 
Section 3.01. Title and Terms. Subject to Section 3.12, the Company agrees to issue Securities hereunder no later than the Issuance Date. The aggregate principal amount of Securities which may be authenticated and
 

 
18

 

delivered (except for Securities authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for, or in lieu of, other Securities pursuant to Section 3.04, 3.05, 3.06 or 10.06) under this Indenture is limited to the Delta Note Value, as such amount may be reduced pursuant to Section 3.12.
 
The Securities shall be known and designated as the “8% Senior Notes due 2015” of the Company. Their Stated Maturity shall be December 1, 2015, and they shall bear interest at the rate of 8% per annum, from May 1, 2007 or from the most recent Installment Payment Date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for, as the case may be, payable on the first day of each month commencing June 1, 2007, until the principal thereof is paid or made available for payment. In furtherance of such obligation, the Company shall, subject to Section 3.12, make installment payments of $886,129 comprising both principal and interest as set forth on Schedule 1 to the Securities and payable on each Installment Payment Date commencing June 1, 2007, until all such principal and interest thereon shall be fully paid.
 
The principal of and interest on the Securities shall be payable at the office or agency of the Paying Agent maintained for such purpose; provided, however, that at the option of the Company payment of principal and interest may be made by check mailed to the address of the Person entitled thereto as such address shall appear in the Security Register; and provided further that the Company shall use commercially-reasonably efforts to make payments of principal and interest required to be made on any particular Installment Payment Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds by noon (New York City time) on such Installment Payment Date.
 
Section 3.02. Denominations. The Securities shall be issuable only in registered form without coupons and only in denominations of any whole dollar amount.
 
Section 3.03. Execution, Authentication, Delivery and Dating. The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the Board, its Chief Executive Officer, its President or one of its Vice Presidents. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities may be manual or facsimile.
 
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
 
Subject to Section 3.01, at any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the Company to the Trustee for authentication, together with a Company Order for the authentication and delivery of such Securities; and the Trustee in accordance with such Company Order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided and not otherwise.
 

 
19

 

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.
 
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder.
 
Section 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities, the Company may execute, and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed, lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
 
If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at any office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 11.02, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of definitive Securities of authorized denominations. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities.
 
Section 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange; Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Article 2 Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange Generally. 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 designated pursuant to Section 11.02 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; provided that the Company may, from time to time, designate (or change any designation of) any other Person or Persons to act as Security Registrar or co-Security Registrars with respect to the Securities, with notice to the Trustee and, as provided in Section 1.06, to the Holders. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Company. In the event that the Trustee shall not be the Security Registrar, it shall have the right to examine the Security Register at all reasonable times.
 

 
20

 


 
Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at an office or agency of the Company designated pursuant to Section 11.02, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of like tenor of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount.
 
At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of like tenor of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities of like tenor which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
 
All Securities issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities of like tenor 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 its attorney duly authorized in writing.
 
No service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities. The Trustee may charge the Holders requesting exchange or transfer of any Note a fee covering taxes and other governmental charges, for each new Note issued upon any exchange or transfer. In each case, the Trustee shall require the payment by the Holder requesting exchange or transfer of any tax or other governmental charge required to be paid with respect to such exchange or transfer. In the event any Holder fails to provide a correct taxpayer identification number to the Trustee, the Trustee may make a charge against such Holder sufficient to pay any governmental charge required to be paid as a result of such failure. In compliance with Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, such amount may be deducted by the Trustee from amount otherwise payable to such Holder.
 
The provisions of Clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) below shall apply only to Global Securities:
 
(1)    Each Global Security authenticated under this Indenture shall be registered in the name of the Depositary designated for such Global Security or a nominee thereof and delivered to such Depositary or a nominee thereof or custodian therefor, and each such Global Security shall constitute a single Security for all purposes of this Indenture.
 

 
21

 

(2)    Notwithstanding any other provision in this Indenture, no Global Security may be exchanged in whole or in part for Securities registered, and no transfer of a Global Security in whole or in part may be registered, in the name of any Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof unless (A) such Depositary (i) has notified the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for such Global Security or (ii) has ceased to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act, and in either (i) or (ii) of this Clause (2) a successor Depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the date of such notice from the Depositary, (B) there shall have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default, or an event which with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default with respect to such Global Security or (C) the Company, by Company Order, elects to have the Global Security registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary or its nominee.
 
(3)    Subject to Clause (2) above, any exchange of a Global Security for other Securities may be made in whole or in part, and all Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security or any portion thereof shall be registered in such names as the Depositary for such Global Security shall direct.
 
(4)    Every Security authenticated and delivered upon registration of transfer of, or in exchange for or in lieu of, a Global Security or any portion thereof, whether pursuant to this Section, Section 3.04, 3.06 or 10.06 or otherwise, shall be authenticated and delivered in the form of, and shall be, a Global Security, unless such Security is registered in the name of a Person other than the Depositary for such Global Security or a nominee thereof.
 
(b)    Certain Transfers and Exchanges. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or the Securities, transfers and exchanges of Securities and beneficial interests in a Global Security of the kinds specified in this Section 3.05(b) shall be made only in accordance with this Section 3.05(b).
 
(i)         Non-Global Security to Non-Global Security. A Security that is not a Global Security may be transferred, in whole or in part, to a Person who takes delivery in the form of another Security that is not a Global Security as provided in Section 3.05(a).
 
(ii)        Non-Global Security to Global Security. If the Holder of a Security (other than a Global Security) wishes at any time to transfer all or any portion of such Security to a Person who wishes to take delivery thereof in the form of a beneficial interest in the Global Security, such
 

 
22

 

transfer may be effected only in accordance with the provisions of this Clause (b)(ii) and subject to the Applicable Procedures. Upon receipt by the Trustee, as Security Registrar, of such Security as provided in Section 3.05(a) and instructions satisfactory to the Trustee directing that a beneficial interest in such Global Security in a specified principal amount not greater than the principal amount of such Security be credited to a specified Agent Member’s account, then the Trustee, as Security Registrar, shall cancel such Security (and issue a new Security in respect of any untransferred portion thereof) and increase the principal amount of the Global Security by the specified principal amount, both as provided in Section 3.05(a).
 
Section 3.06. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
 
If there shall be delivered to the Trustee (i) evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by the Trustee and the Company to save each of them and any agent of either of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in lieu of any such destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
 
In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.
 
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the Company or the Trustee 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 issued pursuant to this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities 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.
 

 
23

 

Section 3.07. Payment of Interest and Principal; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest and principal on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Installment Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
 
Any interest or principal on any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Installment Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Installment”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder, and such Defaulted Installment may be paid by the Trustee, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or (2) below:
 
(1)    The Trustee may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Installment to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Installment, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Installment proposed to be paid on each Security 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 Installment 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 Installment as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted Installment which shall be not more than 15 days and not less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Installment and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder at its address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Installment and the Special Record Date therefor having been so mailed, such Defaulted Installment shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of business on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
 
(2)    The Trustee may make payment of any Defaulted Installment in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
 

 
24

 


 
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.
 
Section 3.08. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered in the Securities Register as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of and (subject to Section 3.07) interest on such Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Section 3.09. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and shall be promptly canceled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the Trustee. No Securities shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. All canceled Securities held by the Trustee shall be disposed of as directed by a Company Order, in accordance with applicable law, or, in the absence of direction by the Company, in accordance with applicable law.
 
Section 3.10. Computation of Interest. Interest on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
 
Section 3.11. DTC Issues. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture to the contrary, so long as the Securities are registered in the name of DTC, as Depositary, or its nominee, all payments with respect to principal and interest on the Securities, and all notices with respect to such Securities, shall be made and given by the Paying Agent and the Trustee to DTC as provided herein and by DTC to Agent Members and the beneficial owners of the Securities in the manner provided in the representation letter of the Company to DTC, as may be amended from time to time.
 
The Company, the Paying Agent, the Authenticating Agent and the Trustee will not be responsible for ensuring that transfers or payments are made by the Depositary or the Agent Members or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing the records maintained by the Depositary or the Agent Members.
 

 
25

 


 
Section 3.12. Reduction In Principal; Termination of Indenture. At any time before the Issuance Date, the Company may make one or more cash payments, as contemplated in the Settlement Agreement. Such cash payments shall ratably decrease the principal amount of the Securities to be issued pursuant hereto. Each Security issued pursuant hereto and each Schedule 1 to each Security shall reflect any such payment ratably and fairly. If cash payments equal to the Delta Note Value are made by the Company prior to the issuance of Securities hereunder, the Delta Note Value shall be reduced to zero, no Securities will be issued hereunder and this Indenture shall simultaneously be discharged and terminated and of no further force and effect.
 
 
ARTICLE 4
REDEMPTION
 
Section 4.01. Optional Redemption. At any time, and from time to time, the Company may redeem the Securities in whole or in part, at par plus accrued interest (if any).
 
Section 4.02. Method and Effect of Redemption. Article 3 If the Company elects to redeem Securities, it must notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed by delivering an Officers’ Certificate at least 30 days before the redemption date (unless a shorter period is satisfactory to the Trustee). If fewer than all of the Securities are being redeemed, the Officers’ Certificate must also specify a Regular Record Date (unless a Special Record Date is established by the Trustee) after the date the Officers’ Certificate is delivered to the Trustee, and the Trustee will redeem the Securities pro rata or by any other method the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate. The Trustee will notify the Company promptly of the Securities or portions of Securities to be called for redemption. Notice of redemption must be sent by the Company or, at the Company’s request, by the Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Company, to Holders whose Securities are to be redeemed at least 15 days but not more than 60 days before the redemption date.
 
(b)    The notice of redemption will identify the Securities to be redeemed and will include or state the following:
 
(i)         the redemption date;
 
(ii)        the redemption price, including the portion thereof representing any accrued and unpaid interest;
 
(iii)       the place or places where Securities are to be surrendered for redemption;
 
(iv)       Securities called for redemption must be so surrendered in order to collect the redemption price;
 

 
26

 


 
(v)         on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable on Securities called for redemption, and interest on Securities called for redemption will cease to accrue on and after the redemption date;
 
(vi)        if any Security is redeemed in part, on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such Security, new Securities equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion will be issued; and
 
(vii)      if any Security contains a CUSIP or CINS number, no representation is being made as to the correctness of the CUSIP or CINS number either as printed on the Securities or as contained in the notice of redemption and that the Holder should rely only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities.
 
(c)    Once notice of redemption is sent to the Holders, Securities called for redemption become due and payable at the redemption price on the redemption date, and upon surrender of the Securities called for redemption, the Company shall redeem such Securities at the redemption price. If money sufficient to pay the redemption price of the Securities to be redeemed, plus accrued interest thereon to the date fixed for redemption, are held by the Trustee in trust for the Holders of Securities to be redeemed, interest on the Securities called for redemption shall cease to accrue on or after the redemption date. During any period of time in which the Securities are issued in the form of a Global Security, Securities (or portions thereof) shall be deemed surrendered in connection with any redemption thereof in accordance with this Indenture when the redemption price is tendered to the Holder by the Paying Agent. Upon surrender of any Security redeemed in part, the Holder will receive, without service charge, a new Security equal in principal amount to the unredeemed portion of the surrendered Security.
 
Section 4.03. Expense Reserve Fund. Article 4 There is hereby created an Expense Reserve Fund and the Trustee shall deposit moneys in the amount of $1,000,000 (one million dollars) therein on the issue date of the Notes. The Trustee may apply moneys in the Expense Reserve Fund to any amounts owed to it hereunder, including without limitation under Section 7.07. Any provisions hereof to the contrary notwithstanding, amounts deposited to the Expense Reserve Fund shall be free and clear of any liens hereunder and such moneys may not be used for payment of amounts due on the Notes; provided, however, that in connection with the final payment of the Notes, if all fees, charges and other amounts owing or to become owing to the Trustee hereunder shall have been paid or provided for and obligations owed to the Trustee have been satisfied, the moneys on deposit in the Expense Reserve Fund shall be paid as an additional distribution on the Notes, pro rata based on the principal amount thereof that was outstanding immediately prior to the final payment thereof.
 

 
27

 


 
(b)    The Trustee may, from time to time, establish special accounts, trust funds and other funds to carry out its duties under this Indenture.
 
Section 4.04. Investments And Earnings. The Trustee is directed by the Company to invest moneys held pursuant to this Indenture to the extent practicable and in accordance with established procedures of the Trustee in money market mutual funds that are registered with the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission, meeting the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and that are rated in either of the two highest categories by a nationally recognized rating service. Earnings on each fund established hereunder shall be transferred to the Expense Reserve Fund, and such earnings shall not reduce the obligation of the Company to pay the amounts specified in the Securities.
 
 
ARTICLE 5
SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
 
Section 5.01. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture shall cease to be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of transfer or exchange of Securities herein expressly provided for), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, when
 
(a)    either
 
(i)         all Securities theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than Article 5 Securities which have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 3.06 and Article 6 Securities for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the Paying Agent and thereafter repaid to the Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.03) have been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation; or
 
(ii)       all such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation have become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Securities or this Indenture and the Company has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose cash in an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such Securities not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation, for principal and interest to the later of the date of such deposit (in the case of Securities which have become due and payable) and the applicable Installment Payment Date;
 
(b)    the Company has paid or caused to be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company; and

If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

(e)    no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities; it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holders, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of all the Holders.

Section 6.09. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
 
Section 6.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. Except as otherwise provided with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last paragraph of Section 3.06, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise; provided, however, that nothing herein, including remedies under this Article 6, shall be deemed to modify any of the provisions of the Settlement Agreement. Subject to the foregoing proviso, the assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
 
Section 6.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

(b)    in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article 10 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security 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 6.14. Undertaking for Costs. In any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, a court may require any party litigant in such suit to file an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and may assess costs against any such party litigant, in the manner and to the extent provided in the Trust Indenture Act; provided that neither this Section nor the Trust Indenture Act shall be deemed to authorize any court to require such an undertaking or to make such an assessment in any suit instituted by the Company, by any Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, or by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or interest on any Security on or after the respective due dates.

The Trustee shall, during the existence of any Event of Default which has not been cured, exercise such of the rights and powers as provided by the Trust Indenture Act and this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs.

Subject to the Trust Indenture Act and Section 7.03, the Trustee shall not be required to take notice or be deemed to have notice of any default hereunder, except failure of the Company to cause to be made any payments on the Securities, unless the Trustee shall have received specific notice in writing of such default from the Company or the Holders of at least 10% of the principal amount of the Outstanding Securities, and in the absence of such notice so delivered to the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively assume that no default exists. 
 
The Trustee shall give the Holders notice of any default hereunder as and to the extent provided by the Trust Indenture Act; provided, however, that in the case of any default of the character specified in Section 6.01(c), such notice to Holders shall be given promptly, but in no event more than 30 days after such default has become an Event of Default.

(e)    notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture to the contrary, the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction of any of the Holders pursuant to this Indenture, unless such Holders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with such request or direction;
 
(f)    the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, other evidence of indebtedness or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney;

Section 7.06. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in trust hereunder need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law.

(e)    If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, the Company, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee and shall comply with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11. If, within one year after such resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a successor Trustee shall be appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities delivered to the Company and the retiring Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 7.11, become the successor Trustee and supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company.

In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such Securities.
 
Section 7.13. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.

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.

If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such 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.

(ii)        The Trustee may at any time, by an instrument in writing executed by it, accept the resignation of or remove any co-Trustee appointed under this Section 7.15.
