After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities will be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities at the office or agency of the Company designated for the purpose pursuant to Section 2.03(c), without charge to the Holder.

The Paying Agent will cancel all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation and deliver them to the Trustee to be disposed of in accordance with the Trustee's normal procedures or the written instructions of the Company; provided that the Trustee may not be required to destroy such Securities. The Company may not 19 25 issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid in full or delivered to the Paying Agent for cancellation. SECTION 2.08. CUSIP and CINS Numbers. The Company in issuing the Securities may use "CUSIP" and "CINS" numbers, and the Trustee will use CUSIP numbers or CINS numbers in notices of redemption or exchange as a convenience to Holders, the notice to state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of redemption or exchange. The Company will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the CUSIP or CINS numbers. SECTION 2.09. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. (a) The Securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons. Except under the circumstances described paragraph (b)(4), the Securities will be issued in global form only. The Company shall cause the Trustee to maintain a register (the "REGISTER") of the Securities, for registering the record ownership of the Securities by the Holders and transfers and exchanges of the Securities. (b)(1) Each Global Security will be registered in the name of the Depositary or its nominee and, so long as DTC is serving as the Depositary thereof, will bear the DTC Legend. (2) Each Global Security will be delivered to the Trustee as custodian for the Depositary. Transfers of a Global Security (but not a beneficial interest therein) will be limited to transfers thereof in whole, but not in part, to the Depositary, its successors or their respective nominees, except (1) as set forth in Section 2.09(b)(4) and (2) transfers of portions thereof in the form of Certificated Securities may be made upon request of an Agent Member (for itself or on behalf of a beneficial owner) by written notice given to the Trustee by or on behalf of the Depositary in accordance with customary procedures of the Depositary and in compliance with this Section and Section 2.10. (3) Agent Members will have no rights under this Indenture with respect to any Global Security held on their behalf by the Depositary, and the Depositary may be treated by the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee as the absolute owner and Holder of such Global Security for all purposes whatsoever. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Depositary or its nominee may grant proxies and otherwise authorize any Person (including any Agent Member and any Person that holds a beneficial interest in a Global Security through an Agent Member) to take any action which a Holder is entitled to take under this Indenture or the Securities, and nothing herein will impair, as between the Depositary 20 26 and its Agent Members, the operation of customary practices governing the exercise of the rights of a holder of any security. (4) If (x) the Depositary notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for a Global Security and a successor depositary is not appointed by the Company within 90 days of the notice or (y) an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and the Trustee has received a request from the Depositary, the Trustee will promptly exchange each beneficial interest in the Global Security for one or more Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an equal aggregate principal amount registered in the name of the owner of such beneficial interest, as identified to the Trustee by the Depositary, and thereupon the Global Security will be deemed canceled. If such Security does not bear the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Securities issued in exchange therefor will not bear the Restricted Legend. If such Security bears the Restricted Legend, then the Certificated Securities issued in exchange therefor will bear the Restricted Legend, provided that any Holder of any such Certificated Security issued in exchange for a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security will have the right upon presentation to the Trustee of a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership after the Restricted Period to exchange such Certificated Security for a Certificated Security of like tenor and amount that does not bear the Restricted Legend, registered in the name of such Holder. (c) Each Certificated Security will be registered in the name of the holder thereof or its nominee. (d) A Holder may transfer a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) to another Person or exchange a Security (or a beneficial interest therein) for another Security or Securities of any authorized denomination by presenting to the Trustee a written request therefor stating the name of the proposed transferee or requesting such an exchange, accompanied by any certification, opinion or other document required by Section 2.10. The Trustee will promptly register any transfer or exchange that meets the requirements of this Section by noting the same in the Register maintained by the Trustee for the purpose; provided that (x) no transfer or exchange will be effective until it is registered in such Register and (y) the Trustee will not be required (i) to issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities to be redeemed, (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, 21 27 except, in the case of a partial redemption, that portion of any Security not being redeemed, or (iii) if a redemption is to occur after a Regular Record Date but on or before the corresponding Interest Payment Date, to register the transfer of or exchange any Security on or after the Regular Record Date and before the date of redemption. Prior to the registration of any transfer, the Company, the Trustee and their agents will treat the Person in whose name the Security is registered as the owner and Holder thereof for all purposes (whether or not the Security is overdue), and will not be affected by notice to the contrary. From time to time the Company will execute and the Trustee will authenticate additional Securities as necessary in order to permit the registration of a transfer or exchange in accordance with this Section. No service charge will be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Security, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any taxes or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith (other than any taxes or other governmental charges payable upon exchange pursuant to paragraph (b)(4)). (e) (1) Global Security to Global Security. If a beneficial interest in a Global Security is transferred or exchanged for a beneficial interest in another Global Security, the Trustee will (x) record a decrease in the principal amount of the Global Security being transferred or exchanged equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange and (y) record a like increase in the principal amount of the other Global Security. Any beneficial interest in one Global Security that is transferred to a Person who takes delivery in the form of an interest in another Global Security, or exchanged for an interest in another Global Security, will, upon transfer or exchange, cease to be an interest in such Global Security and become an interest in the other Global Security and, accordingly, will thereafter be subject to all transfer and exchange restrictions, if any, and other procedures applicable to beneficial interests in such other Global Security for as long as it remains such an interest. (2) Certificated Security to Certificated Security. If a Certificated Security is transferred or exchanged for another Certificated Security, the Trustee will (x) cancel the Certificated Security being transferred or exchanged, (y) deliver one or more new Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such transfer or exchange to the transferee (in the case of a transfer) or the Holder of the canceled Certificated Security (in the case of an exchange), registered in the name of such transferee or Holder, as applicable, and (z) if such transfer or 22 28 exchange involves less than the entire principal amount of the canceled Certificated Security, deliver to the Holder thereof one or more Certificated Securities in authorized denominations having an aggregate principal amount equal to the untransferred or unexchanged portion of the canceled Certificated Security, registered in the name of the Holder thereof. SECTION 2.10. Restrictions on Transfer and Exchange. (a) The transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein) may only be made in accordance with this Section, Section 2.09 and the applicable rules and procedures of the Depositary. The Trustee shall refuse to register any requested transfer or exchange that does not comply with the preceding sentence. (b) The transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein) that bears the Restricted Legend may only be made in compliance with the provisions of the Restricted Legend.

In the event that (i) the requested transfer or exchange takes place after the Restricted Period and a duly completed Regulation S Certificate is delivered to the Trustee or (ii) a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend is surrendered for transfer or exchange, upon transfer or exchange the Trustee will deliver a Certificated Note that does not bear the Restricted Legend. (f) During the Restricted Period, beneficial interests in an Offshore Global Security may be held through the Depositary only through Euroclear and Clearstream, and their respective direct and indirect participants. 23 29 (g) The Trustee will retain copies of all certificates, opinions and other documents received in connection with the transfer or exchange of a Security (or a beneficial interest therein), and the Company will have the right to inspect and make copies thereof at any reasonable time upon written notice to the Trustee. (h) No certification is required in connection with any transfer or exchange of any Security (or a beneficial interest therein) (i) after such Security is eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act (or a successor provision); provided that the Company has provided the Trustee with a certificate to that effect, and the Company may require from any Person requesting a transfer or exchange in reliance upon this clause (i) an opinion of counsel and any other reasonable certifications and evidence in order to support such certificate; or (ii) (x) sold pursuant to an effective registration statement, pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement or otherwise or (y) which is validly tendered for exchange into an Exchange Security pursuant to an Exchange Offer.

(a) Each Security originally sold by the Initial Purchasers in reliance upon Regulation S will be evidenced by one or more Offshore Global Securities that bear the Temporary Offshore Global Security Legend. (b) An owner of a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security (or a Person acting on behalf of such an owner) may provide to the Trustee (and the Trustee will accept) a duly completed Certificate of Beneficial Ownership at any time after the Restricted Period (it being understood that the Trustee will not accept any such certificate during the Restricted Period). Promptly after acceptance of a Certificate of Beneficial Ownership with respect to such a beneficial interest, the Trustee will cause such beneficial interest to be exchanged for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security, and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest. (c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, beneficial interests in a Temporary Offshore Global Security may be held through 24 30 the Depositary only through Euroclear and Clearstream and their respective direct and indirect participants. (d) Notwithstanding paragraph (b), if after the Restricted Period any Initial Purchaser owns a beneficial interest in a Temporary Offshore Global Security, such Initial Purchaser may, upon written request to the Trustee accompanied by a certification as to its status as an Initial Purchaser, exchange such beneficial interest for an equivalent beneficial interest in a Permanent Offshore Global Security, and the Trustee will comply with such request and will (x) permanently reduce the principal amount of such Temporary Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest and (y) increase the principal amount of such Permanent Offshore Global Security by the amount of such beneficial interest.

No redemption pursuant to clause (ii) above may be made unless the Company shall have received an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of the United States results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay the Additional Amounts under Section 4.06(a) and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer stating, that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the Securities pursuant to their terms.

In case one or more of the following Events of Default shall have occurred and be continuing with respect to the Securities ("EVENTS OF DEFAULT"), that is to say: (a) default in the payment of any installment of interest (including any Additional Interest and Additional Amounts) upon any of the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable, and continuance of such default for a period of 90 days; or (b) default in payment of the principal of any of the Securities as and when the same shall become due and payable either at maturity, upon redemption, by declaration or otherwise; or (c) failure on the part of the Company duly to observe or perform any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the Company in the Securities, in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture, for a period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such failure (specified as a "Notice of Default"), requiring the Company to remedy the same, shall have been given to the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by Holders of at least twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding; or 34 40 (d) a court or governmental agency having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Company in an involuntary case under any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or ordering the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or (e) the Company shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or consent to the appointment or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Company or for any substantial part of its property or make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or the Company shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or corporate action shall be taken by the Company in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes; then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Securityholders), may declare the principal of all the Securities to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, anything in this Indenture or in any supplemental indenture to the contrary notwithstanding. This provision, however, is subject to the condition that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities shall have been so declared due and payable, and before any judgment or decree for the payment of the moneys due shall have been obtained or entered as hereinafter provided, the Company shall pay, or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay, all matured installments of interest upon all the Securities and the principal of any and all Securities which shall have become due otherwise than by declaration, with interest upon such principal and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon any overdue installments of interest at the same rate of interest specified in the Securities, to the date of such payment or deposit, and such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and all other expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith, and if any and all defaults under this Indenture with respect to the Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the Securities which shall have become due by declaration, shall have 35 41 been remedied -- then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding by written by notice to the Company and to the Trustee may waive all defaults and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission or annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. In case the Trustee shall have proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned because of such waiver or rescission or annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Company, the Trustee and the Holders shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken.

(g) In the case of a default hereunder the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce the rights vested in it by this Indenture by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of such rights, either at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted in this Indenture, or otherwise, and the Trustee may enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

SECTION 6.04. Limitation on Suits by Securityholders. (a) No Holder of any Securities shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceeding at law or in equity or in bankruptcy or otherwise upon or under or with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver, trustee, liquidator, custodian or other similar official or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and unless also the holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities then outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to institute such action or proceedings in its own name as trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses, and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any such action or proceedings and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06; it being understood and intended and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder of every Security with every other taker and holder and the Trustee that no one or more holders of Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other holder of Securities, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference to any other such holder, or to enforce any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of all holders of Securities.

SECTION 6.05. Powers and Remedies Cumulative; Delay or Omission Not Waiver of Default. All powers and remedies given by this Article 6 to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Securityholders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of the Securities in exercising any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver or any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article 6 or by law to the Trustee or to the Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders.

The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities by this Indenture; provided that such direction shall not be otherwise than in accordance with law and the provisions of this Indenture and provided further that (subject to the provisions of Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, shall determine that the action or proceeding so directed may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or Responsible Officers of the Trustee shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability or if the Trustee in good faith shall so determine that the actions or forbearances specified in or pursuant to such direction would be unduly prejudicial to the interests of the Holders not joining in the giving of said direction, it being understood that (subject to Section 7.01) the Trustee shall have no duty to ascertain whether or not such actions or forbearance are unduly prejudicial to such holders. Nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee in its discretion to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction or directions by Securityholders. Prior to the declaration of the maturity of the Securities as provided in Section 6.01, the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities at the time outstanding may on behalf of the 40 46 holders of all the Securities waive any past default hereunder with respect to such Securities and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities.

ARTICLE 7 TRUSTEE SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee. (a) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise its rights and powers under this Indenture and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

(e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

In the event that (i) an Exchange Offer Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) or a Shelf Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the 180th day following the Issue Date, (ii) an Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 240th day following the Issue Date (unless a Shelf Registration Statement shall have been filed) or (iii) the Exchange Offer is not consummated or a Shelf Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 270th day following the Issue Date, the interest rate on the Notes will be increased by 0.25% per annum from and including the next day following the applicable period referred to in clauses (i) through (iii); provided that the interest rate on the Notes pursuant to the foregoing will in no event increase by more than 0.25% per annum in the aggregate; and provided further that if the Exchange Offer Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 240th day following the Issue Date and the Company requests Holders of the Registrable Securities to provide the information as described in Section 3 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the Notes held by Holders who do not deliver such information to the Company when so requested will not be entitled to any such increase in the interest rate for any day after the 240th day following the Issue Date. Upon (A) the filing of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 180-day period referred to in clause (i), (B) the effectiveness of an Exchange Offer Registration Statement after the 240-day period referred to in clause (ii) or 66 (C) the consummation of the Exchange Offer or the effectiveness of a Shelf Registration Statement, as the case may be, after the 270-day period referred to in clause (iii), in each case the interest rate on the Notes from the day of such filing, effectiveness or consummation, as the case may be, shall be reduced to the original interest rate of the Notes as of March 1, 2001.(3) Additional Trigger Event Interest If the Triggering Event occurs, Additional Trigger Event Interest as calculated below will be payable on the Notes. The "Triggering Event" will occur if: (1) NTT DoCoMo has notified AT&T Corp. ("AT&T") of its intention to require AT&T to repurchase the securities sold to AT&T pursuant to the investment agreement with AT&T and the Company dated December 20, 2000 (the "DoCoMo Agreement") as a consequence of AT&T not completing the split-off of the Company within the time periods set forth in the DoCoMo Agreement; and (2) As a consequence of (1), Moody's or Standard & Poor's has reduced the credit rating of the Notes below Baa2 (in the case of Moody's) or below BBB (in the case of Standard & Poor's); provided that such reduction must occur upon or within 60 days after the occurrence of the date on which DoCoMo provides notice as described in (1); provided further that such 60-day period shall be extended so long as the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration by either Moody's or Standard & Poor's (A) where the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrading, or (B) where the rating of the Notes is under publicly announced consideration, but where no direction of grading is initially indicated by the rating agency, including classifications such as "Credit Watch Developing" or such other similar classifications used by such agencies. "Additional Trigger Event Interest" shall be calculated, from time to time, as follows (it being understood that each adjustment is independent of the others): (a) If the rating of the Notes from Moody's is decreased to Baa3, the interest rate will increase by 0.25% in addition to the increases described in (b) and (d), if applicable. - ------------------ (3)Include only for Initial Security or Initial Additional Security. 67 (b) If the rating of the Notes from Standard & Poor's is decreased to BBB-, the interest rate will increase by 0.25% in addition to the increases described in (a) and (c), if applicable. (c) If the rating of the Notes from Moody's is decreased to below Baa3, the interest rate will increase by 0.75% in addition to the increases described in (a), (b) and (d), if applicable. (d) If the rating of the Notes from Standard & Poor's is decreased to below BBB-, the interest rate will increase by 0.75% in addition to the increases described in (a), (b) and (c), if applicable. In no event will the total increase in interest rates described in (a) through (d) exceed 2.00% per annum. If after the Triggering Event has occurred, Moody's or Standard & Poor's subsequently increase their ratings of the Notes to or above any of the thresholds set forth above, the interest rate on the Notes will be readjusted downwards by the amounts by which it was previously increased. In no event will such adjustments cause the interest rate to be lower than the initial interest rate. Additional Trigger Event Interest shall cease to be payable after the date on which the credit rating of the Notes is increased to Baa2, in the case of Moody's, and BBB, in the case of Standard & Poor's. The Notes will bear interest at their initial interest rate from March 1, 2001 until the last interest payment date of the Notes occurring prior to a downgrade requiring an adjustment. Beginning with the first day of the first interest period for the Notes during which a rating change requires an adjustment in the interest rate, the Notes will bear interest at the adjusted rate. Subsequent interest rate adjustments will also become effective on the first day of the interest period in which the rating change occurs requiring such adjustment. Additional Tax Amounts The Company shall, subject to the following paragraph, pay as additional interest on the Notes such additional amounts (the "Additional Amounts") as are necessary so that the net payment by the Company or a Paying Agent of the principal of and interest on the Notes to a person that is not a U.S. Holder, after deduction for any present or future tax, assessment or governmental charge of the United States or a political subdivision or taxing authority thereof of therein, imposed by withholding with respect to the payment, will not be less than the amount that would have been payable in respect of the Notes had no such withholding or deduction been required. 68 The obligation of the Company to pay any Additional Amount under the preceding paragraph shall not apply: (i) to a tax, assessment or governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely because the Holder, or a fiduciary, settlor, beneficiary, member or shareholder of the Holder if the Holder is an estate, trust, partnership or corporation, or a person holding a power over an estate or trust administered by a fiduciary holder: (1) is or was present or engaged in trade or business in the United States or has or had a permanent establishment in the United States; (2) has a current or former relationship with the United States, including a relationship as a citizen or resident thereof; (3) is or has been a foreign or domestic personal holding company, a passive foreign investment company or a controlled foreign corporation with respect to the United States or a corporation that has accumulated earnings to avoid United States federal income tax; or (4) is or was a "10-percent shareholder" of the Company as defined in section 871(h)(3) of the United States Internal Revenue Code or any successor provision; (ii) to any Holder that is not the sole beneficial owner of the Notes, or a portion thereof, or that is a fiduciary or partnership, but only to the extent that the beneficial owner, a beneficiary or settlor with respect to the fiduciary, or a member of the partnership would not have been entitled to the payment of an Additional Amount had such beneficial owner, beneficiary, settlor or member received directly its beneficial or distributive share of the payment; (iii) to a tax, assessment or governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely because the Holder or any other person failed to comply with certification, identification or information reporting requirements concerning the nationality, residence, identity or connection with the United States of the Holder or beneficial owner of the Notes, if compliance is required by statute, by regulation of the United States Treasury Department or by an applicable income tax treaty to which the United States is a party as a precondition to exemption from such tax, assessment or other governmental charge; 69 (iv) to a tax, assessment or governmental charge that is imposed other than by withholding by the Company or a Paying Agent from the payment; (v) to a tax, assessment or governmental charge that is imposed or withheld solely because of a change in law, regulation, or administrative or judicial interpretation that becomes effective more than 15 days after the payment becomes due or is duly provided for, whichever occurs later; (vi) to an estate, inheritance, gift, sales, excise, transfer, wealth or personal property tax or a similar tax, assessment or governmental charge; (vii) to any tax, assessment or other governmental charge any Paying Agent must withhold from any payment of principal or of interest on any Note, if such payment can be made without such withholding by any other Paying Agent; or (viii) in the case of any combination of the above items. The Notes are subject in all cases to any tax, fiscal or other law or regulation or administrative or judicial interpretation applicable. Except as specifically provided under the foregoing paragraphs, there is no obligation of the Company to make any payment with respect to any tax, assessment or governmental charge imposed by any government or a political subdivision or taxing authority with respect or in connection with the Notes. "U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of a Note that is, for United States federal income tax purposes, (a) a citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or of any political subdivision thereof, (c) an estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source or (d) any other Person whose income from a Note is effectively connected with the conduct of a United States trade or business.

The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes, on behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive compliance by the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture. The Indenture also provides that the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Notes may waive certain past defaults and their consequences on behalf of the Holders of all Notes. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of any Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued upon registration of transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon such Note. Suits by Holders The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of proceedings by Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture.

Notes may be exchanged without service charge for like aggregate principal amount of Notes. Optional Redemption The Notes will be redeemable, as a whole or in part, at the option of the Company, at any time or from time to time, on at least 30 days, but not more than 90 days, prior notice mailed to the registered address of each holder of the Notes. The redemption prices will be equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments (as defined below) discounted, on a semiannual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months), at a rate equal to the sum of the Treasury Rate (as defined below) and 30 basis points for the 2006 Notes, 40 basis points for the 2011 Notes and 50 basis points for the 2031 Notes. In the case of each of clause (1) and (2), accrued interest will be payable to the redemption date. "Treasury Rate" means, with respect to any redemption date, the rate per annum equal to the semiannual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue, assuming a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date. "Comparable Treasury Issue" means the United States Treasury security selected by an Independent Investment Banker as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term of the Notes to be redeemed that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the remaining term of such Notes. "Independent Investment Banker" means one of the Reference Treasury Dealers appointed by the Company. "Comparable Treasury Price" means, with respect to any redemption date, (1) the average of the Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for such redemption date after excluding the highest and lowest of such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (2) if the Trustee obtains fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, the average of all such quotations. "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the Trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 3:30 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day preceding such redemption date. 72 "Reference Treasury Dealer" means each of Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Salomon Smith Barney Inc. plus three others of the initial purchasers (as described in the offering memorandum dated March 1, 2001, relating to the offering of the Notes) that are U.S. Government securities dealers and their respective successors or, if any of the foregoing shall cease to be a primary U.S. Government securities dealer (a "Primary Treasury Dealer"), another nationally recognized investment banking firm that is a Primary Treasury Dealer to be substituted by the Company. "Remaining Scheduled Payments" means, with respect to each Note to be redeemed, the remaining scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such Note that would be due after the related redemption date but for such redemption. If such redemption date is not an interest payment date with respect to such Note, the amount of the next succeeding scheduled interest payment on such Note will be reduced by the amount of interest accrued on such Note to such redemption date. Redemption upon a Tax Event If (i) the Company becomes or will become obligated to pay any Additional Amounts pursuant to Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture (and as referred to above) as a result of any change in, or amendment to, the laws (or any regulations or rulings promulgated thereunder) of the United States (or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein), or any change in, or amendments to, any official position regarding the application or interpretation of such laws, regulations or rulings, which change or amendment is announced or becomes effective on or after the date hereof, or (ii) a taxing authority of the United States takes an action on or after the date hereof, whether or not with respect to the Company or any Affiliate, that results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay any such Additional Amounts, then the Company may, at its option, redeem, as a whole, but not in part, the Notes on any interest payment date at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption; provided that the Company determines, in its business judgment, that the obligation to pay such additional amounts cannot be avoided by the use of reasonable measures available to the Company, not including substitution of the obligor under the Notes. No redemption pursuant to clause (ii) above may be made unless the Company shall have received an opinion of independent counsel to the effect that an act taken by a taxing authority of the United States results in a substantial probability that the Company will or may be required to pay the Additional Amounts under Section 4.06(a) of the Indenture and the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee a certificate, signed by a duly authorized officer stating, that based on such opinion the Company is entitled to redeem the Notes pursuant to their terms. 73 Registration of Transfers Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note at the above-mentioned office or agency of the Trustee, a new Global Security or Notes of authorized denominations, for a like aggregate principal amount will be issued to the transferee as proved in the Indenture.
