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 on such waiver. 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, and any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given.

The Trustee shall deliver such Registered Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities are so registered or to the Depositary in accordance with a Company Order. The Trustee shall deliver Unregistered Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section to the Depositary or to the Persons at such addresses, and in such authorized denominations, as the Depositary for such global Note, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise shall instruct the Trustee in writing.

The Trustee shall be entitled to receive and shall be fully protected in relying on, in addition to the Opinion of Counsel to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 1.02 with the Officers' Certificate relating to the issuance of any series of Securities, an Opinion of Counsel stating that: - 28 - (i) all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the requirements of this Indenture and constitute sufficient authority hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Securities; (ii) all laws and requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company and the Guarantor of the supplemental indenture, if any, have been complied with and that the execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture, if any, by the Trustee will not violate this Indenture, the Company and the Guarantor have corporate power to execute and deliver any such supplemental indenture and have taken all necessary corporate action for those purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed and delivered and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company and the Guarantor enforceable in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect); (iii) the form and terms of such Securities have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (iv) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and delivery by the Company of such Securities and by the Guarantor of the Guarantees endorsed thereon have been complied with and the authentication and delivery of any such Securities by the Trustee will not violate the terms of the Indenture, the Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and the Guarantor has the corporate power to issue such Guarantees, and such Securities and Guarantees have been duly authorized and delivered by the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, and, assuming due authentication and delivery of such Securities by the Trustee, such Securities and Guarantees constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, enforceable in accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in effect) and entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Guarantees and all other Securities, if any, of such series Outstanding; (v) the amount of the Securities Outstanding, including such Securities, does not exceed the amount at the time permitted by law; - 29 - (vi) this Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; and (vii) the issuance of such Securities will not contravene the Articles of Incorporation or the By-Laws of the Company or the Guarantor or result in any violation of any of the terms or the provisions of any indenture, mortgage or other agreement known to such counsel by which the Company, the Guarantor or any of its subsidiaries is bound. In addition, the opinion and the Officers' Certificate will cover such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request. SECTION 3.02. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall be issuable in such denominations as shall be specified in the form of Security for such series approved or established pursuant to Section 2.03 or in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01. In the absence of any specification with respect to the Securities of any series, the Securities of such series shall be issuable as Fully Registered Securities in denominations of $1,000 or any integral multiple thereof, and shall be payable in Dollars. SECTION 3.03. Execution, Authentication and Delivery. The Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, shall be executed on behalf of the Company and the Guarantees endorsed thereon shall be executed on behalf of the Guarantor by, respectively, its Chairman, Vice Chairman, President or one of its Executive Vice Presidents or Senior Vice Presidents under its corporate seal, which may be in facsimile form and may be imprinted or otherwise reproduced thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, or Guarantees may be manual or facsimile. Typographical and other minor errors or defects in any such reproduction of the seal or any such signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any Security or Coupon that has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and Guarantees bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company or the Guarantor, respectively, shall bind the Company and the Guarantor, respectively, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities, and Coupons, if - 30 - any, appertaining thereto, or did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities and Guarantees. At any time and from time to time after the execution and delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, of any series executed by the Company with Guarantees endorsed thereon executed by the Guarantor to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, to or upon a Company Order, an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel without any further action by the Company or the Guarantor. The Trustee shall have the right to decline to authenticate and deliver any Security under this Section if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that such action may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or trustees, executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or vice presidents shall determine that such action would expose the Trustee to personal liability. All Registered Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication, provided, however, that if provided for in the form of Security, interest may accrue from a date other than the authentication date. No Security or Coupon appertaining thereto or Guarantee endorsed thereon 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. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 3.01 and of this Section 3.03, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture otherwise required pursuant to Section 3.01 or the Company Order, Officers' Certificate and Opinion of Counsel required pursuant to this Section 3.03 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued; provided, however, that any subsequent request by the Company to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the date of such request the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be true and correct on the date thereof as if made on and as of the date thereof and that - 31 - the Opinion of Counsel delivered at or prior to such time of authentication shall relate to all subsequent issuances of Securities of such series that are identical to the Securities issued in the first issuance of Securities of such series. SECTION 3.04. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities for any series, the Company may execute and upon Company Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities (having duly executed Guarantees thereon) for such series (printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise reproduced, in each case in form satisfactory to the Trustee). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive Securities of such series in lieu of which they are issued but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary securities, all as may be determined by the Company with the concurrence of the Trustee. Temporary Securities may contain such reference to any provisions of this Indenture as may be appropriate. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Company and the Guarantee thereon shall be executed by the Guarantor and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Temporary Securities may be issued as Registered Securities, or Unregistered Securities, with or without one or more Coupons attached. Without unreasonable delay the Company shall execute and shall furnish definitive Securities of such series and the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantee thereon and thereupon temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge to a Holder at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, or, in the case of temporary Securities issued in respect of Unregistered Securities of any series, at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee located in a city specified elsewhere in this Indenture or pursuant to Section 3.01, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount of definitive Securities of the same series with appropriate Coupons, if any, attached. Such exchange shall be made by the Company at its own expense and without any charge therefor to a Holder except that in case of any such exchange involving any registration of transfer the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series and the Guarantees endorsed thereon shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series and the Guarantees endorsed thereon authenticated and delivered hereunder. - 32 - SECTION 3.05. Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange. Subject to the conditions set forth below, Securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same series (having Guarantees endorsed thereon) of other authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered together, in the case of Coupon Securities, with all unmatured Coupons and matured Coupons in default appertaining thereto, at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company for such purposes as provided in Section 5.02, and the Company shall execute and register, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Holder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive. The Company shall keep or cause to be kept, at one of its said offices or agencies, a register for each series of Securities issued hereunder which may include Registered Securities (hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Securities Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, and subject also to the provisions of Section 2.05, the Company shall provide for the registration of Registered Securities of such series and shall register the transfer of Registered Securities of such series as in this Article Three provided. The Securities Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. The Trustee is hereby appointed "Securities Registrar" for the purpose of registering Registered Securities and registering transfers of Registered Securities as herein provided. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Security of any series at any such office or agency, the Company shall execute and register, the Guarantor shall execute the Guarantees endorsed thereon, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Securities of the same series (having Guarantees endorsed thereon) for an equal aggregate principal amount. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.05, at the option of the Holder thereof, Securities of any series, whether Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities, which by their terms are registrable as to principal only or as to principal and interest, may, to the extent and under the circumstances specified pursuant to Section 3.01, be exchanged for such Registered Securities with Coupons or Fully Registered Securities of such series, as may be issued by the terms thereof. Securities of any series, whether Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities, which by their terms provide for the issuance of Unregistered Securities, may not, except to the extent and under the circumstances specified - 33 - pursuant to Section 3.01, be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Unregistered Securities of any series issued in exchange for Registered Securities of such series between the record date for such Registered Securities and the next Interest Payment Date will be issued without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date, and Unregistered Securities surrendered in exchange for Registered Securities between such dates shall be surrendered without the Coupon relating to such Interest Payment Date and interest will not be payable on such Interest Payment Date in respect of the Registered Security issued in exchange for such Unregistered Security, but will be payable only to the Holder of such Coupon when due in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture. Upon presentation for registration of any Unregistered Security of any series which by its terms is registrable as to principal, at the office or agency of the Company and Guarantor to be maintained as provided in Section 5.02, such Security shall be registered as to principal in the name of the Holder thereof, and such registration shall be noted on such Security. Any Security so registered shall be transferable on the Securities Register of the Company upon presentation of such Security at such office or agency for similar notation thereon, but, to the extent permitted by law, such Security may be discharged from registration by being in a like manner transferred to bearer, whereupon transferability by delivery shall be restored. To the extent permitted by law, Unregistered Securities shall continue to be subject to successive registrations and discharges from registration at the option of the Holders thereof. Unregistered Securities and Coupons shall be transferred by delivery. All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment shall (if so required by the Company or the Securities Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar duly executed by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing. Each Security and Guarantee endorsed thereon issued upon registration of transfer or exchange of Securities pursuant to this Section 3.05 shall be the valid obligation of the Company and Guarantor, evidencing the same indebtedness and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as the Security or Securities surrendered upon registration of such transfer or exchange. No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Securities, other - 34 - than exchanges pursuant to Section 3.04, 4.03 or 9.06 not involving any transfer. The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, exchange or register the transfer of any Securities of any series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of Securities of such series and ending at the close of business on the day of such mailing, or (b) to exchange or register the transfer of any Securities selected, called or being called for redemption except, in the case of any Security to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed. None of the Company, the Trustee, any Paying Agent or Securities 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 Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interest. SECTION 3.06. Mutilated, Defaced, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities or Coupons. In case any temporary or definitive Security or Coupon shall become mutilated or defaced or be destroyed, lost or stolen, and in the absence of notice to the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee that such Security or Coupon has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon shall, and in the case of a lost, stolen or destroyed Security or Coupon may in its discretion, execute, and upon a Company Request, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security with like Coupons, if any, as those attached to the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security (so that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result), of the same series, with a duly executed Guarantee thereon, of like tenor and principal amount, and bearing a number, letter or other distinguishing symbol not contemporaneously outstanding, or a new Coupon, as appropriate, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security or Coupon, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security or Coupon so destroyed, lost or stolen, or if any such Security or Coupon shall have matured or shall be about to mature, instead of issuing a substituted Security or Coupon, the Company in its discretion may pay or authorize the payment of the same without surrender thereof (except in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon) instead of issuing a new Security or Coupon; provided, however, that interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside of the United States, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security or Coupon shall furnish to - 35 - the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, and, in every case of destruction, loss or theft, the applicant shall also furnish to the Company, the Guarantor, and the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substitute Security or Coupon 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 substitute Security or Coupon of any series issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.06 by virtue of the fact that any such Security is destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Company, guaranteed by the Guarantor, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be at any time enforceable by anyone and shall be entitled to all the benefits of (but shall be subject to all the limitations of rights set forth in) this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities and Coupons of such series duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All Securities and Coupons shall be held and owned upon the express condition that, to the extent permitted by law, the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.06 are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, defaced or destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons and shall, to the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, preclude any and all other rights or remedies notwithstanding any law or statute existing or hereafter enacted to the contrary with respect to the replacement or payment of negotiable instruments or other securities without their surrender. SECTION 3.07. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01, interest on any Fully Registered Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest if provided for in the Board Resolution pursuant to Section 3.01. In the case of a Security issued between a record date and the initial Interest Payment Date relating to such record date, interest for the period beginning on the date of issue and ending on such initial Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the person to whom such Security shall have been originally issued. In the case of - 36 - Coupon Securities, the Holder of any Coupon shall be entitled to receive the interest, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date, upon surrender on such Interest Payment Date of the Coupon appertaining thereto in respect of such interest. Any interest on any Fully Registered Security which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called "Defaulted Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the Holder on the relevant Regular Record Date by virtue of having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company or the Guarantor at its election in each case, as provided in Clause (1) or Clause (2) below: (1) The Company or the Guarantor may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest to the Persons in whose names such Fully Registered 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 or the Guarantor shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each Fully Registered Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same time the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this Clause provided. Thereupon the 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 or the Guarantor, as the case may be, of such Special Record Date, and, in the name and at the expense of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, 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 each Holder of a Fully Registered Security at his address as it appears in the Security Register, not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. The Trustee may, in its discretion, in the name and at the expense of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be, cause a similar notice to be published at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Place of Payment, but such publication shall not be a condition precedent to the establishment of such Special - 37 - Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been given as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Fully Registered Securities (or their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2). (2) The Company or the Guarantor may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on any such Fully Registered Security in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities exchange on which the Fully Registered Securities of that series may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company or the Guarantor to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Security of any series delivered under this Indenture upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such series 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. The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee may deem and treat the Person in whose name any Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register for such series as the absolute owner of such Security (notwithstanding any notation of ownership or other writing thereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to Section 3.07), if such registered Security is a Fully Registered Security, interest, if any, on, such Registered Security and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary. The Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, and any agent of the Company, the Guarantor, or the Trustee may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon, whether or not the Security to which such Coupon appertained be registered, as the absolute owner of such Security or Coupon for the purposes of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes whatsoever whether or not such Security or Coupon be overdue, and neither the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent nor any Security Registrar shall be - 38 - affected by notice to the contrary. All such payments so made to any Holder for the time being, or upon his order shall be valid, and, to the extent of the sum or sums so paid, effectual to satisfy and discharge the liability for moneys payable upon such Security or Coupon. SECTION 3.09. Cancellation of Securities; Destruction Thereof. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, registration of transfer or exchange, or for credit against any payment in respect of a sinking or analogous fund, and all Coupons surrendered for payment or exchange, if surrendered to the Company, the Guarantor, or any Paying Agent or any Securities Registrar, shall be delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or, if surrendered to the Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities or Coupons shall be authenticated and delivered in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and Coupons held by it and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Company. If the Company or the Guarantor shall acquire any of the Securities, such acquisition shall not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such securities, or the Guarantee endorsed thereon, unless and until the same are delivered to the Trustee for cancellation. SECTION 3.10. Computation of Interest. Except as otherwise specified in the form of Security for any series approved or established pursuant to Section 2.03 or in the Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a year of twelve 30-day months. SECTION 3.11. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities. (a) With respect to Registered Securities of any series denominated in Dollars or in Foreign Currency or in any currency unit, which hereafter shall include without limitation ECU, with respect to which the Holders of Securities of such series have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, the following payment provisions shall apply: (1) Except as provided in subparagraph (a)(2) or in paragraph (e) below, payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on any Registered Security will be made at the Place of Payment by delivery of a check in the currency - 39 - or currency unit in which the Security is payable on the payment date against surrender of such Registered Security, and any interest on any Fully Registered Security will be paid at the Place of Payment by mailing a check in the currency or currency unit in which such interest is payable to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register. (2) Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest on such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other place or places as may be designated by the Company or Guarantor by any appropriate method. (b) With respect to Registered Securities of any series denominated in any Foreign Currency or currency unit the following payment provisions shall apply, except as otherwise provided in paragraphs (e) and (f) below: (1) It may be provided pursuant to Section 3.01 with respect to the Securities of such series that Holders shall have the option to receive payments of principal of, premium, if any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on such Securities in any of the currencies which may be designated for such election in such Securities by delivering to the Trustee a written election, to be in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, prior to the close of business on the record date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. Such election will remain in effect for such Holder until changed by the Holder by written notice to the Trustee (but any such change must be made prior to the close of business on the record date immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which notice of redemption has been given by the Company pursuant to Article Four). Any Holder of any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee prior to the close of business on the applicable record date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section 3.11. Payment of principal of and premium, if any, shall be made on the payment date against surrender of such Security. Payment of interest, if any, shall be made at the Place of Payment by mailing at such location a check, in the applicable currency or currency unit, to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person appearing on the Securities Register. - 40 - (2) Payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and (with respect to Fully Registered Securities only) interest, if any, on such Security may also, subject to applicable laws and regulations, be made at such other place or places as may be designated by the Company or Guarantor by any appropriate method. (c) Payment of the principal of and premium, if any, on any Unregistered Security and of interest on any Coupon Security will be made unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 9.01(6) by a Paying Agent at such place or places outside the United States as may be designated by the Company or Guarantor pursuant to any applicable laws or regulations by any appropriate method in the currency or currency unit in which the Security is payable (except as provided in paragraph (e) below) on the payment date against surrender of the Unregistered Security, in the case of payment of principal and premium, if any, or the relevant Coupon, in the case of payment of interest, if any. Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, payment with respect to Unregistered Securities and Coupons will be made by check, subject to any limitations on the methods of effecting such payment as shall be specified in the terms of the Security established as provided in Section 3.01 and Section 9.01(6) and as shall be required under applicable laws and regulations. (d) Not later than the fourth Business Day after the record date for each payment date, the Trustee will deliver to the Company and the Guarantor a written notice specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which each series of the Securities is payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such payment date, specifying the amounts so payable in respect of Fully Registered Securities, Registered Securities with Coupons and Unregistered Securities and in respect of the Registered Securities as to which the Holders of Securities denominated in any currency unit shall have elected to be paid in another currency as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 3.01 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, not later than the second Business Day preceding each payment date the Company will deliver to the Trustee and each Paying Agent an Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate in respect of the Dollar or Foreign Currency payments to be made on such payment date. The Dollar or Foreign Currency amount receivable by Holders of Registered Securities denominated in a currency unit who have elected payment in such currency as provided in paragraph (b) above shall be determined by the Company on the basis of the applicable Official Currency Unit Exchange Rate set forth in the applicable Exchange Rate Officer's Certificate. - 41 - (e) If a Foreign Currency in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, or if the ECU ceases to be used both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities, or if any other currency unit in which a Security is denominated or payable ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, the ECU or such other currency unit occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency, the ECU or such other currency unit was so used (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such payment date. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Company or the Guarantor to the Paying Agent and by the Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit as determined by the Dollar Determination Agent as of the record date, if any, with respect to any Interest Payment Date, or the fifteenth day before the Maturity of an installment of principal (the "Valuation Date"), in the manner provided in paragraph (g) or (h) below. (f) If the Holder of a Registered Security denominated in a currency unit elects payment in a specified Foreign Currency as provided for by paragraph (b) and such Foreign Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, such Holder shall receive payment in such currency unit, and if ECU ceases to be used both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities, or if any other such currency unit ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars. (g) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by, and shall be set forth in a certificate delivered to the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and each Paying Agent of, the Dollar Determination Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be obtained by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date. (h) The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by, and shall be set forth in a certificate delivered to the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and each Paying Agent - 42 - of, the Dollar Determination Agent as of each Valuation Date and shall be the sum obtained by adding together the results obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Valuation Date for such Component Currency. (i) For purposes of Section 3.11 the following terms shall have the following meanings: A "Component Currency" shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit. A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units or fractions thereof which such Component Currency represented in the relevant currency unit on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by specified amounts of such two or more currencies, the sum of which, at the Market Exchange Rate of such two or more currencies on the date of such replacement, shall be equal to the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency divided by the number of currencies into which such Component Currency was divided, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. "Market Exchange Rate" shall mean for any currency the noon Dollar buying rate for that currency for cable transfers quoted in New York City on the Valuation Date as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. If such rates are not available for any reason with respect to one or more currencies for which an Exchange Rate is required, the Dollar Determination Agent shall use, in its sole discretion and without liability on its part, such quotation of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York as of the most recent available date, or quotations from one or more major banks in New York City or in the country of issue of the currency in question, or such other quotations as the Dollar Determination Agent shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Dollar Determination Agent, if there is - 43 - more than one market for dealing in any currency by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such currency shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such currency would purchase such currency in order to make payments in respect of such securities. All decisions and determinations of the Dollar Determination Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit and the Market Exchange Rate shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee, any Paying Agent and all Holders of the Securities and Coupons denominated or payable in the relevant currency or currency units. In the event that a Foreign Currency ceases to be used both by the government of the country which issued such currency and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the international banking community, the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event the ECU ceases to be used both within the European Monetary System and for the settlement of transactions by public institutions of or within the European Communities, or any other currency unit in which Securities or Coupons are denominated or payable, ceases to be used for the purposes for which it was established, the Company, after learning thereof, will immediately give notice thereof to the Trustee (and the Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice in the manner provided in Section 1.06 to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event of any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above, the Company, after learning thereof, will similarly give notice to the Trustee. The Trustee shall be fully justified and protected in relying conclusively and acting upon information received by it from the Company and the Dollar Determination Agent, if any, and shall not have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently. SECTION 3.12. Unconditional Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of, sinking fund payment, if any, premium, if any, and interest on such Security and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, net of any taxes required to be withheld, when and as the same shall become due and - 44 - payable, whether by declaration thereof or otherwise, in accordance with the terms of such Security or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and of this Indenture. In case of default by the Company in the payment of any such principal, sinking fund payment, premium or interest, the Guarantor agrees duly and punctually to pay the same. The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder or under any Guarantee shall be absolute and unconditional irrespective of any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Company with respect thereto by the holder of such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or the Trustee, or any other circumstances which may otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Company, any right to require a proceeding first against the Company, protest or notice with respect to any such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or the indebtedness evidenced thereby and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that its obligation hereunder or under any Guarantee will not be discharged as to any such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto except by payment in full of the principal thereof and premium, if any, and interest thereon. The Guarantor shall be subrogated to all rights of the holder of any Security and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto against the Company in respect of any amounts paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of any Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and premium, if any, and interest then due on all Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall have been paid in full. The Guarantee set forth in this Section shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto until the certificate of authentication on such Security, or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall have been signed by the Trustee. The rights and claims of the Trustee and the Holders of Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto against the Guarantor under this Section 3.12 will be subordinated to the extent provided in Section 12.04. - 45 - SECTION 3.13. Execution of Guarantees. To evidence its Guarantee to the Holders of Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, specified in Section 3.12, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantees, in substantially the form above described, to be endorsed on each security and endorsed or referenced on each Coupon, if any, appertaining thereto authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. Each such Guarantee shall be signed on behalf of the Guarantor as set forth in Section 3.03, prior to the authentication of the Security on which it is endorsed, and the delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of the Guarantor. ARTICLE FOUR REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES SECTION 4.01. Applicability of Article. The provisions of this Article shall be applicable to the Securities of any series which are redeemable before their maturity or to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series. SECTION 4.02. Notice of Redemption; Selection of Securities. In case the Company shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part of the Securities of any series (or all or part of the Unregistered Securities of such series or all or any part of the Registered Securities of such series, if the terms and conditions of redemption shall differ with respect to Unregistered Securities and Registered Securities of such series as specified in the terms of such Securities established pursuant to Section 3.01) in accordance with their terms, it shall fix a Redemption Date and shall provide notice of such redemption to the Trustee at least 60 days prior to such Redemption Date, and at least 30 and not more than 60 days prior to such Redemption Date to the Holders of Securities of such series so to be redeemed as a whole or in part in the manner provided in Section 1.06. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the Place or Places of Payment, that the Securities of such series are being redeemed at the option of the Company pursuant to provisions contained in the terms of the Securities of such series or in a supplemental indenture - 46 - establishing such series, if such be the case, together with a brief statement of the facts permitting such redemption, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of the applicable Securities, that, unless otherwise specified in such notice, Coupon Securities of any series, if any, surrendered for payment must be accompanied by all Coupons, if any, maturing subsequent to the date fixed for redemption, failing which the amount of any such missing Coupon or Coupons will be deducted from the sum due for payment, that any interest accrued to the Redemption Date will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said Redemption Date any interest thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If less than all the Securities of any series are to be redeemed the notice of redemption shall specify the numbers of the Securities of such series to be redeemed, and, if only Unregistered Securities of any series are to be redeemed, and if such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Registered Securities, the last date on which exchanges of Unregistered Securities for Registered Securities not subject to redemption may be made. In case any Security of any series is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption shall state the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed and shall state that on and after the Redemption Date, upon surrender of such Security and any Coupons appertaining thereto, a new Security or Securities of such series in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof and with appropriate Coupons will be issued, or, in the case of Securities providing appropriate space for such notation, at the option of the Holders, the Trustee, in lieu of delivering a new Security or Securities as aforesaid, may make a notation on such Security of the payment of the redeemed portion thereof. On or before (but at least one Business Day before, in the case of payments made in a currency or currency unit other than Dollars) the Redemption Date with respect to the Securities of any series stated in the notice of redemption given as provided in this Section 4.02, the Company will deposit with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents an amount of money in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series and any Coupons appertaining thereto are payable (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 3.11(b), 3.11(e) and 3.11(f) of this Indenture) sufficient to redeem on such Redemption Date all the Securities or portions thereof so called for redemption at the applicable Redemption Price, together with accrued interest to such Redemption Date. If fewer than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed (except in the case of a redemption in whole of the Unregistered Securities, the Coupon Securities, the Registered Securities or the Fully Registered Securities of such series), the Company will give the Trustee written notice not less than 60 days - 47 - prior to the Redemption Date as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed and the Trustee shall select, not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date and in such manner as in its sole discretion it shall deem appropriate and fair, the Securities of such series or portions hereof (in multiples of 1,000 in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series are denominated, except as otherwise set forth in the applicable form of Security) to be redeemed. SECTION 4.03. Payment of Securities Called for Redemption. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities of the series specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to such Redemption Date, and on and after said Redemption Date (unless the Company shall default in the payment of such Securities at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to said Redemption Date) any interest on the Securities or portions of Securities of any series so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities and all Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto at a Place of Payment in such notice specified, such Securities and Coupons or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued thereon to the applicable Redemption Date in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto are payable (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 3.11(b), 3.11(e) and 3.11(f) of this Indenture). If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing on or after the Redemption Date, such Security may be paid after deducting from the Redemption Price an amount equal to the face amount of all such missing Coupons or the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Company, the Guarantor, and the Trustee, if there be furnished to them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them and any Paying Agent harmless. If thereafter the Holder of such Security shall surrender to any Paying Agent any such missing Coupon in respect of which a deduction shall have been made from the Redemption Price, such Holder shall be entitled to receive the amount so deducted; provided, however, that, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 9.01(6), interest represented by Coupons shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of those Coupons at an office or agency located outside of the United States. - 48 - Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to or on the order of the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of such series and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, of authorized denominations, in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Securities so presented. SECTION 4.04. Sinking Funds. (a) The provisions of this Section shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of Securities of a series except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for Securities of such series. The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is hereinafter referred to as a "mandatory sinking fund payment," and any payment in excess of such minimum amount provided for by the terms of the Securities of any series is herein referred to as "optional sinking fund payment." (b) In lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with respect to any Securities of a series in cash, the Company may, at its option, deliver to the Trustee Outstanding Securities of such series (together with the unmatured Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto) theretofore purchased or otherwise acquired by the Company, except Securities of such series which have been redeemed or previously called for redemption through the application of mandatory or optional sinking fund payments pursuant to the terms of the Securities of such series, accompanied by a Company Order instructing the Trustee to credit such obligations and stating that the Securities of such series were originally issued by the Company by way of bona fide sale or other negotiation for value; provided that such Securities have not been previously so credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such purpose by the Trustee at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund and the amount of such mandatory sinking fund payment shall be reduced accordingly. (c) Not less than 60 days prior to each sinking fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee a certificate signed by the Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer of the Company specifying the amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for such series pursuant to the terms of such series, the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by payment of cash in the currency or currency unit in which the Securities of such series and the Coupons, if any, - 49 - appertaining thereto are payable (except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 3.01 for the Securities of such series and except as provided in Sections 3.11(b), 3.11(e) and 3.11(f) of this Indenture) and the portion thereof, if any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting Securities of such series pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section and which Securities are to be delivered and whether the Company intends to exercise its right to make a permitted optional sinking fund payment with respect to such series. Such certificate shall be irrevocable and upon its delivery the Company shall be obligated to make the cash payment or payments (in the currency or currency unit described above) therein referred to, if any, on or before the next succeeding sinking fund payment date. In the case of the failure of the Company to deliver such certificate (or to deliver the Securities and Coupons, if any, specified in such certificate within the time period specified in subsection (b) of this Section), the sinking fund payment due on the next succeeding sinking fund payment date for such series shall be paid entirely in cash (in the currency or currency unit described above) and shall be sufficient to redeem the principal amount of the Securities of such series subject to a mandatory sinking fund payment without the right to deliver or credit Securities as provided in subsection (b) of this Section and without the right to make any optional sinking fund payment, if any, with respect to such series. Any sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional) made in cash (in the currency or currency unit described above) plus any unused balance of any preceding sinking fund payments made with respect to the Securities of any particular series shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund payment date on which such payment is made (or, if such payment is made before a sinking fund payment date, on the sinking fund payment date following the date of such payment) to the redemption of Securities of such series at the Redemption Price specified in such Securities with respect to the sinking fund together with accrued interest, if any, to the applicable Redemption Date. Any excess sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to the redemption of Securities shall be added to the next sinking fund payment received by the Trustee for such series and, together with such payment (or such amount so segregated) shall be applied in accordance with the provisions of this subsection (c) of this Section 4.04. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to the Securities of any particular series held by The Trustee on the last sinking fund payment date with respect to Securities of such series and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities of such series shall be applied by the Trustee together with other moneys, if necessary, to be deposited (or segregated) sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity. The Trustee shall not convert any currency or currency - 50 - unit in which the Securities of such series are payable for the purposes of such sinking fund application unless specifically requested to do so by the Company, and any such conversion agreed to by the Trustee in response to such request shall be for the account and at the expense of the Company and shall not affect the Company's obligation to pay the Holders in the currency or currency unit to which such Holders may be entitled. The Trustee shall select or cause to be selected the Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in the manner specified in the last paragraph of Section 4.02 and the Company shall cause notice of the redemption thereof to be given in the manner provided in Section 4.02 except that the notice of redemption shall also state that the Securities are being redeemed by operation of the sinking fund and whether the sinking fund payment is mandatory or optional, or both, as the case may be. Such notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section 4.03. On or before the opening of business on (but at least one Business Day before, in the case of payments made in a currency or currency unit other than Dollars) each sinking payment date, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in cash (in the currency or currency unit described in the first paragraph of this subsection 4.04(c)) a sum equal to the principal and any interest accrued to the Redemption Date for Securities or portions thereof to be redeemed on such sinking fund payment date pursuant to this Section. ARTICLE FIVE COVENANTS SECTION 5.01. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest; Compliance with Terms. With respect to each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Securities of such series in accordance with the terms of the Securities of such series of Securities, any Coupons appertaining thereto and this Indenture, net of any taxes required to be withheld, and will duly comply with all the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in this Indenture for the benefit of, the Securities of such series. Each installment of interest on the Registered Securities of any series may be paid by mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the written order of the Holders of Registered Securities entitled thereto as they shall appear on the registry books of the Company. - 51 - The interest on Coupon Securities shall be payable only upon presentation and surrender of the several Coupons for such interest installments as are evidenced thereby as they severally mature. The interest, if any, on any temporary Unregistered Security shall be paid, as to any installment of interest evidenced by a Coupon attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender of such Coupon, and, as to other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Security for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. SECTION 5.02. Maintenance of Agency. The Company and the Guarantor will maintain an office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where Registered Securities may be presented or surrendered for payment and for registration of transfer or exchange and an agency where notices and demands to or upon the Company and the Guarantor in respect of the Securities, the Guarantees and this Indenture may be served. The Company and the Guarantor hereby respectively appoint the Trustee its initial office or agency for the purpose of this Section 5.02. So long as any Coupon Securities or Unregistered Securities of any series remain Outstanding, the Company will (except as specified pursuant to Section 3.01 or Section 9.01(6)) maintain one or more offices or agencies outside the United States in such city or cities as may be specified elsewhere in this Indenture or as contemplated by Section 3.01, with respect to such series, where Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series or Unregistered Securities of such series may be surrendered or presented for payment, or surrendered for exchange pursuant to Section 3.05 and where notices and demands to or upon the Company or the Guarantor in respect of Coupons appertaining to Securities of such series or the Unregistered Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served. The company and the Guarantor will give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any change in the location of any such office or agency. If at any time the Company or the Guarantor shall fail to maintain such agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, presentations, surrenders, notices and demands in respect of Registered Securities may be made or served at the Principal Corporate Trust Office, and presentations, surrenders, notices and demands in respect of Coupons appertaining to Securities of any series and Unregistered Securities may be made or served at the Principal Corporate Trust Office in the other city or cities referred to above, if any; and the Company and the Guarantor hereby appoint the Trustee their agent to receive all such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands. The Company and the Guarantor agree to appoint and continue to maintain the appointment of a Dollar Determination Agent, if necessary, to perform the functions set forth herein for the Dollar Determination Agent. -52 - The Company and the Guarantor, by written notice to the Trustee, may also from time to time designate one or more other offices or agencies where Securities may be presented for any or all such purposes, and, by like notice, may from time to time rescind such designations. SECTION 5.03. Money for Security Payments To Be Held in Trust. If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series of Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any of the Securities of such series, and the Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act. Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for any series of Securities, it will, prior to each due date of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Securities of such series, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, deposit, subject to Section 4.04(c), with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal, premium or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled to such principal, premium or interest, and (unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure so to act.

SECTION 7.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Holders of any Securities or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto 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. 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 7.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.

SECTION 7.13. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past default hereunder and its consequences, except a default (1) in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on any Security of such series or Coupon, if any, appertaining thereto, or in the payment of any sinking fund installment or analogous obligation with respect to Securities of such series, or (2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default or Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for every purpose in respect of the Securities of such series under this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon. SECTION 7.14. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security or Coupon, if any, appertaining thereto by his acceptance thereof shall be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs - 71 - of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of any Security, or group of Holders of any Security, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of, premium, if any, or interest on any Security or Coupon, if any, appertaining thereto on or after the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security or Coupon (or, in the case of redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as the case may be). SECTION 7.15. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company and the Guarantor covenant (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) that they will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and the Company and the Guarantor (to the extent that they may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waive all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenant that they will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted. SECTION 7.16. Judgment Currency. If for the purpose of obtaining a judgment in any court with respect to any obligation of the Company or the Guarantor hereunder or under any Security or Coupon it shall become necessary to convert into any other currency or currency unit any amount in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or Coupon, then such conversion shall be made at the Conversion Rate as in effect on the date the Company or the Guarantor shall make payment to any Person in satisfaction of such judgment. If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date other than the date payment is made and there shall occur a change between such Conversion Rate and the Conversion Rate as in effect on the date of payment, the Company and the Guarantor agree to pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid is the amount in such other currency or currency unit which, when converted at the - 72 - Conversion Rate as in effect on the date of payment or distribution, is the amount then due hereunder or under such Security or Coupon. Any amount due from the Company or the Guarantor under this Section 7.16 shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder or in respect of any Security or Coupon. In no event, however, shall the Company or the Guarantor be required to pay more in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or Coupon at the Conversion Rate as in effect when payment is made than the amount of currency or currency unit stated to be due hereunder or under such Security or Coupon so that in any event the Company's and the Guarantor's obligations hereunder or under such Security or Coupon will be effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit. For purposes of this Section 7.16, "Conversion Rate" shall mean the spot rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the currency or currency unit into which an amount due hereunder or under any Security or Coupon is to be converted could be purchased with the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under any Security or Coupon from major banks located in New York, London or any other principal market for such purchased currency or currency unit.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets of the Guarantor referred to in this Article Twelve, the Trustee and the Holders of the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization proceeding is pending or upon a certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other Person making any distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders of the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto for the purpose of ascertaining the Persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders or the Senior Guarantor Indebtedness and other indebtedness of the Guarantor, the amount thereof or payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other facts pertinent thereto or to this Article Twelve. In the absence of any such liquidating trustee, agent or other person, the Trustee shall be entitled to rely upon a written notice by a Person representing himself to be a holder of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness (or a trustee or representative on behalf of such holder) as evidence that such Person is a holder of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness (or is such a trustee or representative). In the event that the Trustee determines, in good faith, that further evidence is required with respect to the right of any Person, as a holder of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness, to participate in any payment or distribution pursuant to this Article Twelve, the Trustee may request such Person to furnish evidence to the reasonable satisfaction of the Trustee as to the amount of Senior Guarantor - 100 - Indebtedness held by such Person, as to the extent to which such Person is entitled to participation in such payment or distribution, and as to other facts pertinent to the rights of such Person under this Article Twelve, and if such evidence is not furnished, the Trustee may defer any payment to such Person pending judicial determination as to the right of such Person to receive such payment. The obligation of the Guarantor in respect to the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto shall rank on a parity with the Guarantor's 8-1/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2008, the Guarantor's Floating Rate Subordinated Notes Due 1997, the Citizens Fidelity Corporation Convertible Subordinated Debentures Due 2005, and the Guarantor's Guarantee of the Company's 9-7/8% Subordinated Notes Due 2001 and any other obligations of the Guarantor ranking on a parity with the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto. With respect to the holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness, the Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article, and no implied covenants or obligations with respect to the holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness shall be read into this Article Twelve against the Trustee; provided that nothing contained herein shall derogate from covenants or obligations contained in this Indenture, or any supplemental indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, with respect to Senior Guarantor Indebtedness that is issued as a series of Securities under this Indenture. The Trustee, however, shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness by reason of the execution of this Indenture, or any supplemental indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, and shall not be liable to any such holders if it shall mistakenly pay over or distribute to or on behalf of Holders of the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or the Guarantor moneys or assets to which any holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this Article Twelve. SECTION 12.06. No Payment When Senior Guarantor Indebtedness in Default. In the event and during the continuation of any default in the payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any Senior Guarantor Indebtedness, beyond any applicable period of grace, or in the event that any event of default with respect to any Senior Guarantor Indebtedness shall have occurred and be continuing, or would occur as a result of the payment referred to - 101 - hereinafter, permitted the holders of such Senior Guarantor Indebtedness (or a trustee on behalf of the holders thereof) to accelerate the maturity thereof, then, unless and until such default or event of default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, no payment or principal of or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, or in respect of any retirement, purchase or other acquisition of any of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, pursuant to the Guarantees thereof, shall be made by the Guarantor. SECTION 12.07. No Impairment of Holders' Rights. Nothing contained in this Indenture, any supplemental indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, or in any of the Subordinated Debt Securities or Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or the Guarantees thereof shall (i) impair, as between the Company and Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, or as between the Guarantor and the Holders of the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, the obligations of the Company or Guarantor, as the case may be, to make, or prevent the Company or Guarantor from making, at any time except as provided in Sections 12.02, 12.03, 12.05 and 12.06, payments of principal, premium, if any, or interest (including interest accruing subsequent to the commencement of any proceeding for the bankruptcy or reorganization of the Company or Guarantor under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar law now or hereafter in effect) on the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto, and the Guarantees thereof as and when the same shall become due and payable in accordance with the terms of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and the Guarantees thereof (ii) affect the relative rights of the Holders of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and creditors of the Company other than the holders of the Senior Company Indebtedness or the relative rights of the Holders of the Guarantees of the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto and creditors of the Guarantor other than the holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness, (iii) prevent the Holder of any Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or Guarantee thereof or the Trustee from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default thereunder, subject to the rights, if any, under this Article Twelve of the holders of Senior Company Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the exercise of such remedy and the holders of Senior Guarantor Indebtedness in respect of cash, property or securities of the Guarantor received upon the exercise of such remedy, or (iv) prevent the application by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of - 102 - any moneys deposited with it hereunder to the payment of or on account of the principal of or premium, if any, or interest on the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto or prevent the receipt by the Trustee or any Paying Agent of such moneys, if, prior to the third Business Day prior to such deposit, the Trustee or such Paying Agent did not have written notice of any event prohibiting the making of such deposit by the Company or the Guarantor. SECTION 12.08. Effectuation of Subordination by Trustee. Each Holder of Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto by his acceptance thereof authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination as provided in this Article Twelve and appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. SECTION 12.09. Knowledge of Trustee. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article or any other provisions of this Indenture or any supplemental indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01, neither the Trustee nor any Paying Agent shall be charged with knowledge of the existence of any Senior Company Indebtedness or any Senior Guarantor Indebtedness (other than Senior Company Indebtedness or Senior Guarantor Indebtedness issued under this Indenture or any supplemental indenture issued pursuant to Section 3.01) or of any event which would prohibit the making of any payment or moneys to or by the Trustee or such Paying Agent, unless and until a Responsible Officer of the Trustee or such Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from the holder of any Senior Company Indebtedness or Senior Guarantor Indebtedness or from the representative or any such holder. SECTION 12.10. Trustee's Relation to Senior Company Indebtedness or Senior Guarantor Indebtedness.

No Waiver of Default or Event of Default. The failure to make a payment pursuant to the Subordinated Debt Securities and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto by reason of any provision in this Article shall not be construed as preventing the occurrence of a Default or any Event of Default.
