disregarded. Securities so owned which have been pledged in good
faith may be regarded as Outstanding if the pledgee establishes to

provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders
may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in
person or by an agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as
herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become
effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and (if expressly required by the applicable terms of this
Indenture) to the Company. If any
10
Securities are
denominated in coin or currency other than that of the United
States, then for the purposes of determining whether the Holders of
the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action
as herein described, the principal amount of such Securities shall
be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could be
obtained for such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of
exchange into United States dollars for the currency in which such
Securities are denominated (as evidenced to the Trustee by a
certificate provided by a financial institution, selected by the
Company, that maintains an active trade in the currency in
question, acting as conversion agent) as of the date the taking of
such action by the Holders of such requisite principal amount is
evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the immediately preceding
sentence. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as
the “ Act ” of the Securityholders signing such
instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to
Section 6.01) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the

writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness to such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other
officer authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds,
certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing
acknowledged to him the execution thereof. Where such execution is
by an officer of a corporation or a member of a partnership, on
behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his authority.
The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or
writing, or the authority of the person executing the same, may
also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems
sufficient.
(c) The
ownership of Securities shall for all purposes be determined by
reference to the Security Register, as such register shall exist as
of the applicable date.
(d) If the
Company shall solicit from the Holders any request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
the Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance
a Record Date for the determination of Holders entitled to give
such request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action, but the Company shall have no obligation to
do so. If such Record Date is fixed, such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action
may be given before or after such Record Date, but only the Holders
of record at the close of business on such Record Date shall be
deemed to be Holders for the purpose of determining whether Holders
of the requisite proportion of Securities Outstanding have
authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action,
and for that purpose the Securities Outstanding shall be computed
as of such Record Date; provided that
11
no such
authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders on such Record
Date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six
months after such Record Date.
(e) Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind each
subsequent Holder of such Security, and each Holder of any Security
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, with respect to anything done or
suffered to be done by the Trustee or the Company in reliance upon
such action, whether or not notation of such action is made upon
such Security.
Section 1.05.
Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any request, order,
authorization, direction, consent, waiver, or other action to be
taken by the Trustee, the Company, or the Securityholders hereunder
(including any Authentication Order), and any notice to be given to
the Trustee or the Company with respect to any action taken or to
be taken by the Trustee, the Company, or the Securityholders
hereunder, shall be sufficient if made in writing and:
(a) (if to be
furnished or delivered to or filed with the Trustee by the Company
or any Securityholder) delivered to the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office, Attention: Corporate Finance, or
(b) (if to be
furnished or delivered to the Company by the Trustee or any
Securityholder, and except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.01(d) and, in the case of a request for repayment,
except as specified in the Security carrying the right to
repayment) mailed to the Company, first-class postage prepaid, at

Section 1.06.
Notice to Securityholders; Waiver. Where this Indenture or
any Security provides for notice to Securityholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise expressly
provided herein or in such Security) if in writing and mailed,
first-class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder affected by
such event, at his or her address as it appears in the Security
Register as of the applicable Record Date, not later than the
latest date or earlier than the earliest date prescribed by this
Indenture or such Security for the giving of such notice. In any
case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither the
failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency of
such notice with respect to other Securityholders. Where this
Indenture or any Security 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
Securityholders shall
12
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 as a result of a strike,
work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to mail notice
of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture or the
applicable Security, then any method of notification as shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to be
sufficient for the giving of such notice.
Section 1.07.
Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision hereof
limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof which
is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the
provisions of the TIA, such required provision shall
control.

result in the actual receipt by the judgment creditor of the full
amount of the Required Currency expressed to be payable in respect
of such payments, (ii) shall be enforceable as an alternative
or additional cause of action for the purpose of recovering in the
Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual receipt
shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable, and (iii) shall not be affected by
judgment being obtained for any other sum due under this
Indenture.

(and premium, if any) need not be made at such Place of Payment on

which, and the terms and conditions upon which, such election may
be made;
(21) if the
amount of any payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if
any, or other sum payable with respect to the Securities of such
series may be determined by reference to the relative value of one
or more Specified Currencies, commodities, securities, or
instruments, the level of one or more financial or non- financial
indices, or any other designated factors or formulas, the manner in
which such amounts shall be determined;
(22) the
exchange of Securities of such series, at the option of the Holders
thereof, for other Securities of the same series of the same
aggregate principal amount of a different authorized kind or
different authorized denomination or denominations, or
both;
(23) the

more places other than the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee,

such series;
(24) any

(29) any
other terms not inconsistent with the provisions of this
Indenture.
If all of the
Securities issuable by or pursuant to any Board Resolution are not
to be issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the
Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required by
Section 3.03 hereof at the time of issuance of each such
Security, but such Officers’ Certificate and Opinion of
Counsel shall be delivered at or before the time of issuance of the
first such Security.
If any series of
Securities shall be established by action taken pursuant to any
Board Resolution, the execution by the officer or officers
authorized by such Board Resolution of an Authentication Order with
respect to the first Security of such series to be issued, and the
delivery of such Authentication Order to the Trustee at or before
the time of issuance of the first Security of such series, shall
constitute a sufficient record of such action. Except as otherwise
permitted by Section 3.03, if all of the Securities of any
such series are not to be issued at one time, the Company shall
deliver an Authentication Order with respect to each subsequent
issuance of Securities of such series, but such Authentication
Orders may be executed by any authorized officer or officers of the
Company, whether or not such officer or officers would have been
authorized to establish such series pursuant to the aforementioned
Board Resolution.
Unless otherwise
provided by or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental
indenture creating such series (i) a series may be reopened
for issuances of additional Securities of such series, and
(ii) all Securities of the same series shall be substantially
identical, except for the initial Interest Payment Date, issue
price, initial interest accrual date and the amount of the first
interest payment.
The form of the
Securities of each series shall be established in a supplemental
indenture or by or pursuant to the Board Resolution creating
such
19
series. The
Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the
Securities of each other series in such manner as the Board of
Directors or its authorized representative or representatives may
determine.
Unless otherwise
provided with respect to Securities of a particular series, the
Securities of any series may only be issuable in registered form,
without coupons.
Section 3.02.
Denominations and Currency. The Securities of each series
shall be issuable in such denominations and currency as shall be
provided in the provisions of this Indenture or by or pursuant to
the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture creating such
series. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the
Securities of any series, the Securities of that series shall be
issuable only in fully registered form in denominations of U.S.
$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
Section 3.03.
Execution, Authentication and Delivery, and Dating. The
Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by any two of
the Chairman, Vice Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, Chief
Financial Officer, Senior Vice President and any Vice President of
the Company and attested by its Secretary or any one of its
Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on
the Securities may be manual or facsimile. Typographical and other
minor errors or defects in any such signature shall not affect the
validity or enforceability of any Security that has been duly
authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.
Unless otherwise
provided in the form of Security for any series, all Securities
shall be dated the date of their authentication.
Securities bearing
the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any
time the proper officers of the Company shall bind the Company,
notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities or did not hold such offices at the date of such
Securities.
At any time and
from time to time after the execution and delivery of this
Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities to the Trustee for
authentication, together with a Company Order for authentication
and delivery (such Order an “ Authentication Order
”) with respect to such Securities, and the Trustee shall,
upon receipt of such Authentication Order, in accordance with
procedures acceptable to the Trustee set forth in the
Authentication Order, and subject to the provisions hereof,
authenticate and deliver such Securities to such recipients as may
be specified from time to time pursuant to such Authentication
Order. The material terms of such Securities shall be determinable
by reference to such Authentication Order and procedures. If
provided for in such procedures, such Authentication Order may
authorize authentication and delivery of such Securities
20
pursuant to
oral instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent,
which instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing. 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 the provisions of Section 6.01 hereof) shall be fully
protected in relying upon:
(1) an
executed supplemental indenture, if any;
(2) an
Officers’ Certificate, certifying as to the authorized form
or forms and terms of such Securities; and
(3) an
Opinion of Counsel, stating that:
(a) the form or
forms and terms of such Securities have been established by and in
conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; provided ,
that if all such Securities are not to be issued at the same time,
such Opinion of Counsel may state that such terms will be
established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture,
subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel;
and
(b) 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,
moratorium, reorganization, and other laws of general applicability
relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights
and to general principles of equity;
provided,
however , that if all
Securities issuable by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture are not to be originally issued at one time,
it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers’
Certificate or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to
this paragraph at or prior to the time of authentication of each
such Security if such documents are delivered at or prior to the
time of authentication upon original issuance of the first such
Security to be issued. After the original issuance of the first
such Security to be issued, any separate request by the Company
that the Trustee authenticate such Securities for original issuance
will be deemed to be a certification by the Company that it is in
compliance with all conditions precedent provided for in this
Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of such
Securities.
The Trustee shall
not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue
thereof will adversely affect the Trustee’s own rights,
duties, or immunities under the Securities and this
Indenture.
If the Company
shall establish pursuant to Section 3.01 that Securities of a
series may be issued in whole or in part in global form, then the
Company shall
21
execute, and
the Trustee shall (in accordance with this Section 3.03 and
the Authentication Order with respect to such series) authenticate
and deliver, one or more Securities in global form that
(i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate
amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series to be represented by such one or more
Securities in global form, (ii) shall be registered, in the name of
the Depositary for such Security or Securities in global form, or
in the name of a nominee of such Depositary, (iii) shall be
delivered to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary’s
instruction, and (iv) shall bear a legend substantially as
follows: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in
part for Securities in certificated form, this Security may not be
transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the
Depositary, or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or
another nominee of the Depositary, or by the Depositary or any such
nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.” Each Depositary designated pursuant to
Section 3.01 for a Security in global form must, at the time
of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depositary,
be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended (the “ Exchange Act ”) and
any other applicable statute or regulation.
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 of an
authorized signatory, 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 of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon
receipt of the documents required by Sections 2.02, 3.01 and
3.03 hereof, together with an Authentication Order, the Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities of such series
that 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 in registered form, without coupons, 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. In the case of
Securities of any series for which a temporary Security may be
issued in global form, such temporary global security shall
represent all of the Outstanding Securities of such series and
tenor.
Except in the case
of temporary Securities in global form, which shall be exchanged in
accordance with the provisions thereof, if temporary Securities of
any series are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities
of such series to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of
such series shall be exchangeable, at the Corporate Trust Office of
the Trustee, or at such other office or agency as may be
22
maintained by
the Company in a Place of Payment pursuant to Section 10.02
hereof, for definitive Securities of such series having identical
terms and provisions, upon surrender of the temporary Securities of
such series, at the Company’s own expense and without charge
to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or
more temporary Securities of any series, the Company shall execute
and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor
a like principal amount of definitive Securities of such series in
authorized denominations containing identical terms and provisions.
Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01
with respect to a temporary Security in global form, until so
exchanged, the temporary Securities of such series shall in all
respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series.
Section 3.05.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange. With respect to the
Securities of each series, the Trustee shall keep a register
(herein sometimes referred to as the “ Security
Register ”) which shall provide for the registration of
Securities of such series, and for registration of transfers of
Securities of such series, in accordance with information to be
provided to the Trustee by the Company, subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe. Such register shall be in
written form or in any other form capable of being converted into
written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the
information contained in such register or registers shall be
available for inspection, during normal business hours, at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at such other office or
agency to be maintained by the Company pursuant to
Section 10.02 hereof.
Upon due
presentation for registration of transfer of any Security of any
series at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee or at any other
office or agency maintained by the Company with respect to that
series pursuant to Section 10.02 hereof, 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 such series of any authorized denominations, of like
aggregate principal amount, tenor, terms and Scheduled Maturity
Date.
Any other
provision of this Section 3.05 notwithstanding, unless and
until it is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual
Securities represented thereby, in definitive form, a Security in
global form representing all or a portion of the Securities of a
series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary
for such series to a nominee of such Depositary, or by a nominee of
such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary, or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a
successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor
Depositary.
At the option of
the Holder, Securities of any series may be exchanged for other
Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of like
aggregate principal amount, tenor, terms and Scheduled Maturity
Date, upon surrender of
23
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 which the
Securityholder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
If at any time the
Depositary for the Securities of a series represented by one or
more Securities in global form notifies the Company that it is
unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of
such series, or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of
such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 3.03
hereof, the Company, by Company Order, shall appoint a successor
Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a
successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives
such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the
Company’s election pursuant to Section 3.01 that such
Securities be represented by one or more Securities in global form
shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such
series and the Company will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt
of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver
Securities of such series in definitive form, in authorized
denominations, in an aggregate principal amount, and of like terms
and tenor, equal to the principal amount of the Security or
Securities in global form representing such series, in exchange for
such Security or Securities in global form.
The Company may at
any time and in its sole discretion and subject to the procedures
of the Depositary determine that individual Securities of any
series issued in global form shall no longer be represented by such
Security or Securities in global form. In such event the Company
will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an Authentication
Order for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities
of such series and of the same terms and tenor, will authenticate
and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form, in
authorized denominations, and in aggregate principal amount equal
to the principal amount of the Security or Securities in global
form representing such series in exchange for such Security or
Securities in global form.
If specified by
the Company pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to a series
of Securities issued in global form, the Depositary for such series
of Securities may surrender a Security in global form for such
series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for Securities
of such series in definitive form and of like terms and tenor on
such terms as are acceptable to the Company and such Depositary.
Thereupon, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee upon receipt
of an Authentication Order for the authentication and delivery of
definitive Securities of such series, shall authenticate and
deliver, without service charge:
(a) to each
Person specified by such Depositary, a new definitive Security or
Securities of the same series and of the same tenor and terms,
in
24
authorized
denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in
exchange for such Person’s beneficial interest in the
Security in global form; and
(b) to such
Depositary, a new Security in global form in a denomination equal
to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the
surrendered Security in global form and the aggregate principal
amount of the definitive Securities delivered to Holders pursuant
to clause (a) above.
Upon the exchange
of a Security in global form for Securities in definitive form,
such Security in global form shall be canceled by the Trustee or an
agent of the Company or the Trustee. Securities issued in
definitive form in exchange for a Security in global form pursuant
to this Section 3.05 shall be registered in such names and in
such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Security
in global form, pursuant to instructions from its direct or
indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee or
an agent of the Company or the Trustee in writing. The Trustee or
such agent shall deliver such Securities to or as directed by the
Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the
Depositary.
Whenever any
securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the
Securities which the Holder making the exchange is entitled to
receive.
All Securities
issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities
shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as
the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or
exchange.
Every Security
presented or surrendered for registration of transfer, exchange,
redemption or payment 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 the Security to be transferred or exchanged, no service
charge shall be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise
provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities, other than
exchanges pursuant to Sections 3.04, 3.06, 9.06 and 11.07
hereof not involving any transfer.
The Company shall
not be required to (i) issue, register the transfer of, or
exchange any Security 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 such series selected for
redemption under Section 11.03 and ending at the close of
business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) register the
transfer of
25
or exchange any
Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except in
the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion
thereof not to be redeemed.
Section 3.06.
Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities. If
(i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or
the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction
of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and
(ii) there is delivered to the Company and the Trustee such
security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of
them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the
Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Company may in its discretion execute and upon
request of the Company the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver,
in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost
or stolen Security, a new Security of like tenor, terms, series,
Scheduled Maturity Date, and principal amount, 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 3.06, 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
issued pursuant to this Section 3.06 in lieu of any mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute an original
additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not
the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any
time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the
benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and
all other Securities of the same series duly issued
hereunder.
The provisions of
this Section 3.06 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the
extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the
replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities.
Section 3.07.
Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Interest on
any Security which is payable and is punctually paid or duly
provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall, if so provided in
such Security, 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 applicable Record Date, notwithstanding any
transfer or exchange of such Security subsequent to such Record
Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date (unless such Interest
Payment Date is also the date of Maturity of such
Security).
Any interest on
any Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “
Defaulted
26
Interest ”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to
the registered Holder on the applicable Record Date by virtue of
his having been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided,
such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election
in each case, as provided in clause (a) or clause
(b) below:
(a) The
Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the
Persons in whose names any such Securities (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 such 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 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 provided in this clause.
Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date for the
payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15
nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed
payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the
Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the
name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the
proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record
Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the
Holder of each such Security at his address as it appears in the
Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special
Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted
Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as
aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in
whose names such 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 (b).
(b) The
Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest 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.
Interest on
Securities of any series that bear interest may be paid by mailing
a check to the address of the Person entitled thereto at such
address as shall appear in the Securities Register for such series
or by such other means as may be specified in the form of such
Security.
Subject to the
foregoing provisions of this Section 3.07 and the provisions
of Section 3.05 hereof, each Security delivered under this
Indenture upon
27
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 any Security is registered on the applicable Record
Date(s) as the owner of such Security for the purpose of receiving
payment of principal, premium, if any, interest, if any (subject to
Sections 3.05 and 3.07 hereof), and any additional amounts
payable with respect to 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.
None of the
Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any Paying Agent,
the Security Registrar, or any co-Security Registrar will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating
to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of
a Security in global form or for maintaining, supervising or
reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership
interests and each of them may act or refrain from acting without
liability on any information relating to such records provided by
the Depositary.
Section 3.09.
Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for payment,
redemption, registration of transfer, exchange, or credit against a
sinking or analogous fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other
than the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and, if not already
canceled, 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. Acquisition of
such Securities by the Company shall not operate as a redemption or
satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities
unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for
cancellation. No Security shall be authenticated in lieu of or in
exchange for any Securities canceled as provided in this
Section 3.09, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
The Trustee shall dispose of all canceled Securities in accordance
with its customary procedures and deliver a certificate of such
disposition to the Company.
Section 3.10.
Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided as
contemplated in Section 3.01, interest on the Securities shall
be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day
months.
Section 3.11.
CUSIP Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use
“CUSIP” and “ISIN” numbers (if then
generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use the CUSIP or
ISIN numbers, as the case may be, in notices of redemption as a
convenience to Holders; provided , that any such notice may
state
28
that no
representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the
CUSIP or ISIN number, as the case may be, either as printed on the
Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that
reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers
printed on the Securities. The Company will promptly notify the
Trustee in writing of any change in the CUSIP or ISIN
number.
ARTICLE 4
Satisfaction and
Discharge
Section 4.01.
Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of
Securities (except as to any surviving rights of conversion or
transfer or exchange of Securities of such series expressly
provided for herein or in the form of Security for such series),
and the Trustee, on demand of and at the expense of the Company,
shall execute proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and
discharge of this Indenture as to such series, when
(i) all Securities
of that series theretofore authenticated and delivered (other than
(A) Securities of such series which have been destroyed, lost,
or stolen and which have been replaced or paid as provided in
Section 3.06, and (B) Securities of such series for whose
payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated
and held in trust by the Company and thereafter repaid to the
Company or discharged from such trust, as provided in
Section 4.07) have been delivered to the Trustee canceled or
for cancellation; or
(ii) all such
Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the Trustee
canceled or for cancellation
(A) have become
due and payable, or
(B) will, in
accordance with their Scheduled Maturity Date, become due and
payable within one year, or
(C) are to be
called for redemption within one year under arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of notice of redemption
by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company,
and, in any of
the cases described in subparagraphs (A), (B), or(C) above, the
Company has irrevocably deposited or caused to be deposited with
the Trustee, as trust funds in trust for the purpose, (x) an
amount in money sufficient, (y) U.S. Government Obligations or
Equivalent Government Securities which through the
29
payment of
interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their
terms will provide, not later than one day before the due date of
any payment, money sufficient, or (z) a combination of
(x) and (y) sufficient, in the opinion with respect to
(y) and
|
