If the form or terms of the Securities or Coupons of the series have been established in or pursuant to one or more Board Resolutions as permitted by this Section and Section 2.01, in authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating: 9 (a) if the form of such Securities or Coupons has been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such form has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; (b) if the terms of such Securities have been established by or pursuant to Board Resolution as permitted by Section 2.01, that such terms have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture; and (c) that each such Security and Coupon, when authenticated and delivered by the Trustee and issued by the Corporation in the manner and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Corporation, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general applicability relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights and to general equity principles, whether applied in a proceeding at law or in equity. If such form or terms have been so established, the Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such Securities if the issue of such Securities pursuant to this Indenture will affect the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under the Securities and the Indenture or otherwise in a manner that is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee. Every Registered Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Each Unregistered Security shall be dated as provided in or pursuant to the Board Resolution or supplemental indenture referred to in Section 2.01 or, if no such terms are specified, the date of its original issuance. No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein executed by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder and is entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.08 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Corporation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture. If the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.01 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of a Global Security, then the Corporation shall execute and the Trustee shall in accordance with this Section and the Corporation Order with respect to such series authenticate and deliver the Global Security that (i) shall represent and shall be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Securities of such series to be represented by the Global Security, (ii) shall be registered, if in registered form, in the name of the Depository for such Global Security or the 10 nominee of such Depository, and (iii) shall be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository's instructions. Each Depository designated pursuant to Section 2.01 for a Global Security in registered form must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as Depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation. SECTION 2.04 DENOMINATIONS; RECORD DATE. The Securities shall be issuable as Registered Securities or Unregistered Securities in such denominations as may be specified as contemplated in Section 2.01. In the absence of any such specification with respect to any series, such Securities shall be issuable in the denomination contemplated by Section 2.01. The term "record date" as used with respect to an Interest Payment Date (except a date for payment of defaulted interest) shall mean such day or days as shall be specified in the terms of the Registered Securities of any particular series as contemplated by Section 2.01; provided, however, that in the absence of any such provisions with respect to any series, such term shall mean (1) the last day of the calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the fifteenth day of a calendar month; or (2) the fifteenth day of a calendar month next preceding such Interest Payment Date if such Interest Payment Date is the first day of the calendar month. The person in whose name any Registered Security is registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date with respect to an Interest Payment Date shall be entitled to receive the interest payable and Additional Amounts, if any, payable on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Registered Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Regular Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that if and to the extent the Corporation shall default in the payment of the interest and Additional Amounts, if any, due on such Interest Payment Date, such defaulted interest and Additional Amounts, if any, shall be paid to the persons in whose names outstanding Registered Securities are registered on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by or on behalf of the Corporation to the Holders of Securities of the series in default not less than fifteen days preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than five days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. SECTION 2.05 EXCHANGE AND REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER OF SECURITIES. Registered securities of any series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Registered Securities of other authorized denominations of such series. Registered Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02, and the Corporation shall execute and register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Registered Security or Registered Securities that the Holder making the exchange shall have been entitled to receive. If the Securities of any series are issued in both registered and unregistered form, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, at the option of the Holder thereof, Unregistered Securities of any series may be exchanged for Registered Securities of such series of any 11 authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. At the option of the Holder thereof, if Unregistered Securities of any series are issued in more than one authorized denomination, except as otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, such Unregistered Securities may be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series of other authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of such Unregistered Securities to be exchanged at the agency of the Corporation that shall be maintained for such purpose in accordance with Section 4.02 or as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, with, in the case of Unregistered Securities that are Coupon Securities, all unmatured Coupons and all matured Coupons in default thereto appertaining. Unless otherwise specified pursuant to Section 2.01, Registered Securities of any series may not be exchanged for Unregistered Securities of such series. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive. The Corporation or its designated agent (the "Security Registrar") shall keep, at such office or agency, a Security Register (the "Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Corporation shall register Securities and shall register the transfer of Registered Securities as provided in this Article Two. The Security Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Security Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee. Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of any Registered Security of a particular series at such office or agency, the Corporation shall execute and the Corporation or the Security Registrar shall register and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Registered Security or Registered Securities of such series for an equal aggregate principal amount. Unregistered Securities (except for any temporary bearer Securities) and Coupons shall be transferable by delivery. All Securities presented for registration of transfer or for exchange, redemption or payment, as the case may be, shall (if so required by the Corporation or the Trustee) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by, a written instrument or instruments of transfer in form satisfactory to the Corporation and the Trustee duly executed by the Holder or his, her or its attorney duly authorized in writing. No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Registered Securities, but the Corporation may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection therewith. The Corporation shall not be required to exchange or register a transfer of (a) any Registered Securities of any series for a period of fifteen days next preceding any selection of Registered Securities of such series to be redeemed, or (b) any Security of any such series selected for redemption except in the case of any such series to be redeemed in part, the portion thereof not to be so redeemed. 12 Notwithstanding anything herein or in the terms of any series of Securities to the contrary, neither the Corporation nor the Trustee (which shall rely on an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel) shall be required to exchange any Unregistered Security for a Registered Security if such exchange would result in adverse Federal income tax consequences to the Corporation (including the inability of the Corporation to deduct from its income, as computed for Federal income tax purposes, the interest payable on any Securities) under then applicable United States Federal income tax laws. SECTION 2.06 TEMPORARY SECURITIES. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any series, the Corporation may execute and on receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such series (printed or lithographed). Temporary Securities of any series shall be issuable in any authorized denominations, and in the form approved from time to time by or pursuant to a Board Resolution but with such omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Corporation. Every temporary Security shall be executed by the Corporation and authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like effect, as the definitive Securities. Without unnecessary delay the Corporation shall execute and furnish definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all temporary Registered Securities of such series may be surrendered in exchange therefor without charge at the office or agency to be designated and maintained by the Corporation for such purpose in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, in accordance with the provisions of Section 4.02 and in the case of Unregistered Securities at any agency maintained by the Corporation for such purpose as specified pursuant to Section 2.01, 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 of authorized denominations and in the case of such Securities that are Coupon Securities, having attached thereto the appropriate Coupons. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such series. The provisions of this Section 2.06 are subject to any restrictions or limitations on the issue and delivery of temporary unregistered Securities of any series that may be established pursuant to Section 2.01 (including any provision that Unregistered Securities of such series initially be issued in the form of a single global Unregistered Security to be delivered to a depositary or agency of the Corporation located outside the United States and the procedures pursuant to which definitive Unregistered Securities of such series would be issued in exchange for such temporary global Unregistered Security). SECTION 2.07 MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN SECURITIES. In case any temporary or definitive Security of any series or, in the case of a Coupon Security, any Coupon appertaining thereto, shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation 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 receipt of a Corporation Order the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security or, in the case of a Coupon Security, a new Coupon Security of the same series as the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon Security or, in the case of a Coupon, a new Coupon of the same series as the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding, in exchange and substitution for the mutilated Security, or in lieu of and in substitution for the Security so 13 destroyed, lost or stolen or in exchange for the Coupon Security to which such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Coupon appertains, with all appurtenant Coupons not destroyed, lost or stolen. In every case the applicant for a substituted Security or Coupon shall furnish to the Corporation and to 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 Corporation and to the Trustee evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon, as the case may be, and of the ownership thereof. Upon the issuance of any substituted Security or Coupon, the Corporation 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 connected therewith and in addition a further sum not exceeding ten dollars for each Security so issued in substitution. In case any Security or Coupon which has matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may, instead of issuing a substituted Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security or Coupon) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish the corporation and the Trustee with such security or indemnity as they may require to save them harmless and, in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence to the satisfaction of the Corporation and the Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security or Coupon and of the ownership thereof. Every substituted Security with, in the case of any such Security that is a Coupon Security, its Coupons, issued pursuant to the provisions of this Section by virtue of the fact that any Security or Coupon is destroyed, lost or stolen shall, with respect to such Security or Coupon, constitute an additional contractual obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security or Coupon shall be found at any time, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities, and the Coupons appertaining thereto, duly issued hereunder. All Securities and any Coupons appertaining thereto shall be held and owned upon the express condition that the foregoing provisions are exclusive with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities and Coupons appertaining thereto and shall, to the extent permitted by 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 2.08 CANCELLATION. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer, and all Coupons surrendered for payment as the case may be, shall, if surrendered to the Corporation or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee and promptly cancelled by it or, if surrendered to the Trustee, be cancelled by it, and no Securities or Coupons, shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy cancelled Securities and Coupons and deliver a certificate of destruction to the Corporation. SECTION 2.09 COMPUTATION OF INTEREST. Except as otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of any series, interest on the Securities of each series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. 14 SECTION 2.10 SECURITIES IN GLOBAL FORM. If Securities of a series are issuable in global form, as specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, then, notwithstanding clause (9) of Section 2.01 and the provisions of Section 2.04, such Global Security shall represent such of the outstanding Securities of such series as shall be specified therein and may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities from time to time endorsed thereon and that the aggregate amount of outstanding Securities represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Security in global form to reflect the amount, or any increase or decrease in the amount, of outstanding Securities represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in such manner and upon instructions given by such Person or Persons as shall be specified therein or in the Corporation Order to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.03 or Section 2.06. Subject to the provisions of Section 2.03 and, if applicable, Section 2.06, the Trustee shall deliver and redeliver any Security in definitive global bearer form in the manner and upon written instructions given by the Person or Persons specified therein or in the applicable Corporation Order. If a Corporation Order pursuant to Section 2.03 or 2.06 has been, or simultaneously is, delivered, any instructions by the Corporation with respect to endorsement or delivery or redelivery of a Security in global form shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an opinion of Counsel. The beneficial owner of a Security represented by a definitive Global Security in bearer form may, upon no less than 30 days written notice to the Trustee, given by the beneficial owner through a Depository, exchange its interest in such definitive Global Security for a definitive bearer Security or Securities, or a definitive Registered Security or Securities, of any authorized denomination, subject to the rules and regulations of such Depository and its members. No individual definitive bearer Security will be delivered in or to the United States. The provisions of the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03 shall apply to any Security represented by a Security in global form if such Security was never issued and sold by the Corporation and the Corporation delivers to the Trustee the Security in global form together with written instructions (which need not comply with Section 14.04 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) with regard to the reduction in the principal amount of Securities represented thereby together with the written statement contemplated by the last sentence of the third to the last paragraph of Section 2.03. Unless otherwise specified as contemplated by Section 2.01, payment of principal of, and any premium and any interest on, any Security in definitive global form shall be made to the Person or Persons specified therein. SECTION 2.11 MEDIUM-TERM SECURITIES. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary to deliver the Corporation Order, Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Opinion of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to Sections 2.01, 2.03, 2.06, and 14.04 at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series to be issued. An Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, delivered pursuant to this Section 2.11 in the circumstances set forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee on original issue from 15 time to time upon the written order of persons designated in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture and that such persons are authorized to determine, consistent with such Officers' Certificate or any applicable supplemental indenture such terms and conditions of said Securities as are specified in such Officers' Certificate or supplemental indenture, provided that the foregoing procedure is acceptable to the Trustee. SECTION 2.12 CUSIP NUMBERS. The Corporation, in issuing the Securities, may use "CUSIP" numbers (if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification numbers printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers. ARTICLE III. REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES. SECTION 3.01 REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES; APPLICABILITY OF ARTICLE. Redemption of Securities of any series as permitted or required by the terms thereof shall be made in accordance with such terms and this Article; provided, however, that if any provision of any series of Securities shall conflict with any provision of this Article, the provision of such series of Securities shall govern. The notice date for a redemption of Securities shall mean the date on which notice of such redemption is given in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.02 hereof. SECTION 3.02 NOTICE OF REDEMPTION; SELECTION OF SECURITIES. The election of the Corporation to redeem any Securities shall be evidenced by an Officers' Certificate. In case the Corporation shall desire to exercise the right to redeem all, or, as the case may be, any part, of a series of Securities pursuant to the terms and provisions applicable to such series, it shall fix a date for redemption and shall mail a notice of such redemption at least thirty and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption to the Holders of the Securities of such series that are Registered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, at their last addresses as the same appear on the Security Register. Such mailing shall be by prepaid first class mail. Any notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Notice of redemption to the Holders of Unregistered Securities to be redeemed as a whole or in part, who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, shall be given by mailing notice of such redemption, by first class mail, postage prepaid, at least thirty days and not more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption, to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee 16 (and, in the case of any such notice given by the Corporation, the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose). Notice of redemption to any other Holder of an Unregistered Security of such series shall be published in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), in each case, once in each of two successive calendar weeks, the first publication to be not less than thirty nor more than sixty days prior to the date fixed for redemption. Any notice that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the Holder shall have received such notice. In any case, failure to give notice by mail, or any defect in the notice to the Holder of any Security of a series designated for redemption as a whole or in part shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of any other Security of such series. Each such notice of redemption shall specify the provisions of such Securities under which such redemption is made, that the conditions precedent, if any, to such redemption have occurred, shall describe the same and the date fixed for redemption, the redemption price at which such Securities are to be redeemed, the Place of Payment, that payment will be made upon presentation and surrender of such Securities and, in the case of Coupon Securities, of all Coupons appertaining thereto maturing after the date fixed for redemption, that interest and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, and that on and after said date interest, if any, thereon or on the portions thereof to be redeemed will cease to accrue. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed any notice of redemption published in an Authorized Newspaper shall specify the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and, if applicable, the CUSIP Numbers thereof. In case any Security 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 upon surrender of such Security, a new Security or Securities in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued of the same series. At least one Business Day prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for Unregistered Securities as provided in this Section and on or prior to the redemption date specified in the notice of redemption given for all Securities other than Unregistered Securities, the Corporation will deposit in trust with the Trustee or with one or more Paying Agents an amount of money sufficient to redeem on the redemption date all the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption at the appropriate redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption. The Corporation will give the Trustee notice of each redemption at least forty-five days prior to the date fixed for redemption (unless a shorter notice is acceptable to the Trustee) as to the aggregate principal amount of Securities to be redeemed. If fewer than all of the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select, pro rata or by lot or in such other manner as it shall deem reasonable and fair, the numbers of the Securities to be redeemed in whole or in part. SECTION 3.03 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES CALLED FOR REDEMPTION. If notice of redemption has been given as above provided, the Securities or portions of Securities with respect to which such notice has been given shall become due and payable on the date and at the Place of Payment 17 stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to the date fixed for redemption, and on and after said date (unless the Corporation shall default in the payment of such Securities at the redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued to said date) interest on the Securities or portions of Securities so called for redemption shall cease to accrue. On presentation and surrender of such Securities subject to redemption at said Place of Payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or the specified portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Corporation at the applicable redemption price, together with interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, accrued thereon to the date fixed for redemption. Interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, maturing on or prior to the date fixed for redemption shall continue to be payable (but without interest thereon unless the Corporation shall default in payment thereof) in the case of Coupon Securities to the bearers of the Coupons for such interest upon surrender thereof, and in the case of Registered Securities to the Holders thereof registered as such on the Security Register on the relevant record date subject to the terms and provisions of Section 2.04. At the option of the Corporation payment may be made by check to (or to the order of) the Holders of the Securities or other persons entitled thereto against presentation and surrender of such Securities. If any Coupon Security surrendered for redemption shall not be accompanied by all appurtenant Coupons maturing after the date fixed for redemption, the surrender of such missing Coupon or Coupons may be waived by the Corporation and the Trustee, if there be furnished to each of them such security or indemnity as they may require to save each of them harmless. Upon presentation of any Security redeemed in part only, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the Holder thereof, at the expense of the Corporation, a new Security or Securities, of authorized denominations, in aggregate principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented of the same series. ARTICLE IV. PARTICULAR COVENANTS OF THE CORPORATION. SECTION 4.01 PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL, PREMIUM, INTEREST AND ADDITIONAL AMOUNTS. The Corporation shall duly and punctually pay or cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on each of the Securities at the place, at the respective times and in the manner provided in the terms of the Securities and in this Indenture. The interest on Coupon Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) 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 bearer securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be paid, as to the installments of interest evidenced by Coupons attached thereto, if any, only upon presentation and surrender thereof, and, as to the other installments of interest, if any, only upon presentation of such Securities for notation thereon of the payment of such interest. The interest on Registered Securities (together with any Additional Amounts) shall be payable only to the Holders thereof and at the option of the Corporation may be paid by (i) mailing checks for such interest payable to or upon the order of such Holders at their last addresses as they appear on the Security Register for such Securities or (ii) in the case of Holders of U.S. $10,000,000 or more in 18 aggregate principal amount of such Registered Securities, by wire transfer of immediately available funds, but only if the Trustee has received wire transfer instructions in writing not less than 15 days prior to the applicable Interest Payment Date. SECTION 4.02 OFFICES FOR NOTICES AND PAYMENTS, ETC. As long as any of the Securities of a series remain outstanding, the Corporation shall designate and maintain, in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where the Registered Securities of such series may be presented for registration of transfer and for exchange as provided in this Indenture, an office or agency where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of such series or of this Indenture may be served, and an office or agency where the Securities of such series may be presented for payment. The Corporation shall give to the Trustee notice of the location of each such office or agency and of any change in the location thereof. In case the Corporation shall fail to maintain any such office or agency in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, or shall fail to give such notice of the location or of any change in the location thereof, presentations may be made and notices and demands may be served at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, and the Corporation hereby appoints the Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices and demands. If Unregistered Securities of any series are outstanding, the Corporation shall maintain or cause the Trustee to maintain one or more agencies in a city or cities located outside the United States (including any city in which such an agency is required to be maintained under the rules of any securities exchange on which the Securities of such series are listed) where such Unregistered Securities, and Coupons, if any, appertaining thereto may be presented for payment. No payment on any Unregistered Security or Coupon will be made upon presentation of such Unregistered Security or Coupon at an agency of the Corporation within the United States nor will any payment be made by transfer to an account in, or by mail to an address in, the United States, except, at the option of the Corporation, if the Corporation shall have determined that, pursuant to applicable United States laws and regulations then in effect such payment can be made without adverse tax consequences to the Corporation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, payments in U.S. Dollars with respect to Unregistered Securities of any series and Coupons appertaining thereto that are payable in U.S. Dollars may be made at an agency of the Corporation maintained in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York if such payment in U.S. Dollars at each agency maintained by the Corporation outside the United States for payment on such Unregistered Securities is illegal or is effectively precluded by exchange controls or other similar restrictions. The Corporation hereby initially designates J.P. Morgan Trust Company, National Association, located at its Corporate Trust Office, as the Security Registrar and as the office or agency of the Corporation in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, where the Securities may be presented for payment and, in the case of Registered Securities, for registration of transfer and for exchange as in this Indenture provided and where notices and demands to or upon the Corporation in respect of the Securities of any series or of this Indenture may be served. 19 SECTION 4.03 PROVISIONS AS TO PAYING AGENT. (a) Whenever the Corporation shall appoint a paying agent other than the Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series, it will cause such paying agent to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section: (1) that it will hold sums held by it as such agent for the payment of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, or Coupons appertaining thereto, as the case may be, entitled thereto and will notify the Trustee of the receipt of sums to be so held, (2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the Corporation (or by any other obligor on the Securities of such series) to make a payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of such series when the same shall be due and payable, and (3) at any time during the continuance of any such default, upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee all sums so held in trust by such paying agent. (b) If the Corporation shall act as its own paying agent, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on the Securities of any series set aside, segregate and hold in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series entitled thereto a sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, so becoming due. The Corporation will promptly notify the Trustee of any failure to take such action. (c) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the Corporation may, at any time, for the purpose of obtaining a satisfaction and discharge with respect to one or more or all series of Securities hereunder, or for any other reason, pay or cause to be paid to the Trustee all sums held in trust for such series by it or any paying agent hereunder as required by this Section, such sums to be held by the Trustee upon the trusts herein contained. (d) Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding, the agreement to hold sums in trust as provided in this Section is subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05. SECTION 4.04 LUXEMBOURG PUBLICATIONS.

(e) a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall enter a decree or order for relief in respect of the Corporation in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appoint a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation 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, undismissed and unbonded and in effect for a period of ninety days; or 27 (f) the Corporation shall commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent to the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall consent to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian, sequestrator (or similar official) of the Corporation or for a substantial part of its property, or shall make any general assignment for the benefit of creditors; then if an Event of Default described in clause (a), (b), (c) or (d) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, unless the principal amount of all the Securities of such series 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 of all series affected thereby then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of such Securities) may declare the principal amount of all the Securities (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) of the series affected thereby to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of such series to the contrary notwithstanding, or, if an Event of Default described in clause (e) or (f) shall have occurred and be continuing, and in each and every such case, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than twenty- five percent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities then outstanding hereunder (voting as one class), by notice in writing to the Corporation (and to the Trustee if given by Holders of securities), may declare the principal of all the Securities not already due and payable (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable, any provision in this Indenture or in the Securities to the contrary notwithstanding. The foregoing provisions, however, are subject to the conditions that if, at any time after the principal of the Securities of any one or more or all series, as the case may be, 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 Corporation shall pay or shall deposit with the Trustee a sum sufficient to pay all matured installments of interest, if any, and all Additional Amounts, if any, due upon all the Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be, and the principal of (and premium, if any, on) all Securities of such series or of all the Securities, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such lesser amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities), which shall have become due otherwise than by acceleration (with interest, if any, upon such principal and premium, if any, and, to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law, on overdue installments of interest and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series, as the case may be (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration of such series, as the case may be), to the date of such payment or deposit), and such amount as shall be payable to the Trustee pursuant to Section 7.06, and any and all defaults under the Indenture shall have been remedied, then and in every such case the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series (or of all the Securities, as the case may be) then outstanding, by written notice to the Corporation and to the Trustee, may waive all defaults with respect to that series or with respect to all Securities, as the case may be, and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences; but no such waiver or rescission 28 and annulment shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent default or shall impair any right consequent thereon. If the principal of all Securities shall have been declared to be payable pursuant to this Section 6.01, in determining whether the Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount thereof have waived all defaults and rescinded and annulled such declaration, all series of Securities shall be treated as a single class and the principal amount of Original Issue Discount Securities shall be deemed to be the amount declared payable under the terms applicable to such Original Issue Discount Securities. 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 rescission and annulment or for any other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the Trustee, then and in every such case the Corporation, Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall be restored respectively to their former positions and rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of Securities, as the case may be, shall continue as though no such proceedings had been taken. SECTION 6.02 PAYMENT OF SECURITIES ON DEFAULT; SUIT THEREFOR. The Corporation covenants that (1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest, if any, on any of the Securities of any series or any Additional Amounts payable in respect of any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of thirty days or (2) in case default shall be made in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any, on) any of the Securities of any series, as and when the same shall have become due and payable, whether upon maturity of such series or upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise, then upon demand of the Trustee, the Corporation shall pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such series, and the Coupons, if any, appertaining to such Securities, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such series and such Coupons, for principal (and premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any as the case may be, with interest upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and (to the extent that payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) upon overdue installments of interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, at the same rate as the rate of interest specified in the Securities of such series (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, at the rate specified in the terms of such Securities for interest on overdue principal thereof upon maturity, redemption or acceleration); and, in addition thereto, such further amounts as shall be payable pursuant to Section 7.06. In case the Corporation shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, shall be entitled and empowered to institute any action or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Corporation or other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable. In case there shall be pending proceedings for the bankruptcy or for the reorganization of the Corporation or any other obligor upon Securities of any series under Title 11 of the United 29 States Code or any other applicable law, or in case a receiver or trustee shall have been appointed for the property of the Corporation or such other obligor, or in case of any other judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or such other obligor, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, the Trustee, irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities of such series shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise, to file and prove a claim or claims for the whole amount of principal (or, with respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series), and premium, if any, interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities of such series, and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee under Section 7.06 and of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series allowed in any such judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or other obligor upon the Securities of such series, or to the creditors or property of the Corporation or such other obligor, and to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims, and to distribute all amounts received with respect to the claims of the Securityholders of such series and of the Trustee on their behalf; and any receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is hereby authorized by each of the Holders of the Securities and Coupons of such series to make payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of payments directly to the Securityholders of such series, to pay to the Trustee such amount as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other reasonable expenses and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee except as a result of its negligence or bad faith. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof, or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding. All rights of action and of asserting claims under this Indenture, or under any of the Securities, may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Securities or Coupons appertaining to such Securities, or the production thereof in any trial or other proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or proceedings instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities or Coupons appertaining thereto. In 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 to enforce any other legal or equitable right vested in the Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

No Holder of any Security of any series or of any Coupon appertaining thereto shall have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to institute any action or proceedings 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 or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless such Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee written notice of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than twenty-five percent in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then outstanding or, in the case of any Event of Default described in clause (d) or (e) of Section 6.01, twenty-five per cent in aggregate principal amount of all the Securities at the time outstanding (voting as one class) 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 31 require against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee for sixty 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 or Coupons appertaining to such Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of or by availing himself, herself or itself of any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any other Holder of Securities or Coupons appertaining to such 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 and Coupons. For the protection and enforcement of the revisions of this Section, each and every Securityholder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, however, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest, if any, and Additional Amounts, if any, on such Security or Coupon, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or Coupon, or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder. With respect to Original Issue Discount Securities, principal shall mean such amount as shall be due and payable as may be specified in the terms of such Securities. SECTION 6.05 REMEDIES CUMULATIVE AND CONTINUING. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons 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 Holders of Securities or Coupons, 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 any of the Securities or Coupons to exercise 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 of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders of Securities or Coupons may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders of Securities or Coupons, as the case may be. SECTION 6.06 DIRECTION OF PROCEEDINGS. The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series affected (voting as one class) 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; provided, however, that (i) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this Indenture, (ii) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction and (iii) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines that the action or proceedings so directed would be prejudicial to the Holders not joining in such direction or may not lawfully be taken or if the Trustee in good faith by its board of directors or 32 executive committee or a trust committee of directors or trustees and/or responsible officers shall determine that the action or proceedings so directed would involve the Trustee in personal liability. Prior to any declaration accelerating the maturity of the Securities of any series, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series at the time outstanding may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Securities of such series waive any past default or Event of Default hereunder and its consequences, except a default in the payment of principal of (premium, if any) or interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Securities of such series or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof that may not be modified or amended without the consent of the Holders of each outstanding Security of such series affected. Upon any such waiver the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon. Whenever any default or Event of Default hereunder shall have been waived as permitted by this Section 6.06, said default or Event of Default shall for all purposes of the Securities of such series and this Indenture be deemed to have been cured and to be not continuing. SECTION 6.07 NOTICE OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee shall, within ninety days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the Securities of any series, give notice of all defaults with respect to that series known to the Trustee (i) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered Securities of that series are then outstanding, to all Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses and (iii) to all Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of that series, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register, unless in each case such defaults shall have been cured before the mailing or publication of such notice (the term "defaults" for the purpose of this Section being hereby defined to be the events specified in Sections 6.01(a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) and any additional events specified in the terms of any series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01, not including periods of grace, if any, provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in Section 6.01(c) or in the terms of any Securities established pursuant to Section 2.01); and provided that, except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of (premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any of the Securities of such series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors or responsible officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the Holders of the Securities of such series. SECTION 6.08 UNDERTAKING TO PAY COSTS. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his, her or its 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 33 Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; provided that, the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholders of any series, or group of such Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in aggregate principal amount of all Securities (voting as one class) or to any suit instituted by any Securityholders for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any), interest, if any, or Additional Amounts, if any, on any Security on or after the due date expressed in such Security. ARTICLE VII CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE. SECTION 7.01 DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default of a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default of such series that may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default with respect to a particular series has occurred (which has not been cured) the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it, by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in its exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that: (a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a particular series and after the curing of all Events of Default with respect to such series that may have occurred: (1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee with respect to such series shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and (2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture; 34 (b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a responsible officer or officers, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and (c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.06 relating to the time, method and place, of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Indenture. No provision of this Indenture shall be construed as requiring the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise to incur any personal financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there shall be reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 7.02 RELIANCE ON DOCUMENTS, OPINIONS, ETC. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01: (a) the Trustee may rely, and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting, upon any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, Coupon or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) any request, direction, order or demand of the Corporation mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an instrument signed in the name of the Corporation by the Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or the President or any Vice President or the Treasurer and by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary or, if the other signatory is other than the Treasurer, any Assistant Treasurer (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed); and a Board Resolution may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or any Assistant Secretary of the Corporation; (c) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any advice or Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel; (d) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses, and liabilities which might be incurred therein or thereby; (e) the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, debenture, note, coupon or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or 35 matters as it may see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the relevant books, records and premises of the Corporation, personally or by agent or attorney; (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys, provided, however, that the Trustee shall be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any agent or attorney appointed by it hereunder; and (g) the Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Indenture. SECTION 7.03 NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR RECITALS, ETC. The recitals contained herein and in the Securities, other than the Trustee's certificate of authentication, shall be taken as the statements of the Corporation, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities, provided that the Trustee shall not be relieved of its duty to authenticate Securities only as authorized by this Indenture. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Corporation of Securities or the proceeds thereof. SECTION 7.04 OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES OR COUPONS. The Trustee or any agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities or Coupons with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, or an agent of the Corporation or of the Trustee. SECTION 7.05 MONEYS TO BE HELD IN TRUST. Subject to the provisions of Sections 12.04 and 12.05 hereof, all moneys received by the Trustee or any paying agent shall, until used or applied as herein provided, be held in trust for the purposes for which they were received but need not be segregated from other funds except to the extent required by law. Neither the Trustee nor any paying agent shall be under any liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder except such as it may agree with the Corporation to pay thereon. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all interest allowed on any such moneys shall be paid from time to time upon the written order of the Corporation, signed by its Chairman of the Board of Directors or any Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors or its President or any Vice President or its Treasurer or any Assistant Treasurer. SECTION 7.06 COMPENSATION AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE. The Corporation covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation, and, except as otherwise expressly provided, the Corporation will pay or reimburse the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the provisions of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. If any property other than cash shall at any time be subject to the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee, if and to the extent authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court of competent jurisdiction or by the supplemental instrument subjecting such 36 property to such lien, shall be entitled to make advances for the purpose of preserving such property or of discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances hereon. The Corporation also covenants to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or reasonable expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this trust, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Corporation under this Section to compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by the Trustee as such, except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of particular Securities or Coupons. SECTION 7.07 OFFICERS' CERTIFICATE AS EVIDENCE. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01, whenever in the administration of the provisions of this Indenture the Trustee shall deem it necessary or desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to taking or suffering any action to be taken hereunder, such matter (unless other evidence in respect thereof be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, be deemed to be conclusively proved and established by an Officers' Certificate delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof. SECTION 7.08 CONFLICTING INTEREST OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall comply with Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. SECTION 7.09 ELIGIBILITY OF TRUSTEE. There shall at all times be a trustee hereunder which shall be a corporation organized and doing business under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory thereof or of the District of Columbia, which (a) is authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers and (b) is subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State, Territorial or District of Columbia authority and (c) shall have at all times a combined capital and surplus of not less than U.S. $50 million. If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law, or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation at any time shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section or Section 310(a)(5) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10. SECTION 7.10 RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may, upon sixty days written notice to the Corporation, at any time resign with respect to one or more or all series by giving written notice of resignation to the Corporation (i) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by giving notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof, by publication at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (ii) if any Unregistered 37 Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and addresses with the Trustee as described in Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee and (iii) by mailing notice of such resignation to the Holders of then outstanding Registered Securities of each series affected at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. Upon receiving such notice of resignation the Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to the applicable series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within thirty days after the mailing of such notice of resignation to the Securityholders, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee, or any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for the appointment of a successor trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, appoint a successor trustee. (b) In case at any time any of the following shall occur: (i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 7.08 with respect to any series of Securities after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of such series for at least six months, or (ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provision of Section 7.09 with respect to any series of Securities and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the Corporation or by any such Securityholder, or (iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting with respect to any series of Securities, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then, in any such case, the Corporation may remove the Trustee with respect to the applicable series of Securities and appoint a successor trustee with respect to such series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee, or, subject to the provisions of Section 6.08, any Securityholder of such series who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable series for at least six months may, on behalf of himself, herself or itself and all others similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to such series. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee. (c) The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of all series (voting as one class) at the time outstanding may at any time remove the Trustee 38 with respect to Securities of all series and appoint a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of all series. (d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11. SECTION 7.11 ACCEPTANCE BY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Corporation and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal the predecessor trustee with respect to all or any applicable series shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, on the written request of the Corporation or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers of the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon request of any such successor trustee, the Corporation shall execute any and all instruments in writing in order more fully and certainly to vest in and confirm to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06. In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Corporation, the predecessor Trustee and each successor trustee with respect to the Securities of any applicable series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto that shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the predecessor Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such trustee. No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09. Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this Section, the Corporation shall give notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder (a) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof by publication of such notice at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York and at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in London (and, if required by Section 4.04, at least once in an Authorized Newspaper in Luxembourg), (b) if any Unregistered Securities of a series affected are then outstanding, to the Holders thereof who have filed their names and 39 addresses with the Trustee pursuant to Section 313(c) of the Trust Indenture Act, by mailing such notice to such Holders at such addresses as were so furnished to the Trustee (and the Trustee shall make such information available to the Corporation for such purpose) and (c) to the Holders of Registered Securities of each series affected, by mailing such notice to such Holders at their addresses as they shall appear on the Security Register. If the Corporation fails to mail such notice in the prescribed manner within ten days after the acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such notice to be so given at the expense of the Corporation. SECTION 7.12 SUCCESSOR BY MERGER, ETC. Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. SECTION 7.13 LIMITATIONS ON RIGHTS OF TRUSTEE AS CREDITOR. The Trustee shall comply with Section 311(a) and Section 311(b) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939. ARTICLE VIII CONCERNING THE SECURITYHOLDERS. SECTION 8.01 ACTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any or all series may take any action (including the making of any demand or request, the giving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the fact that at the time of taking any such action the Holders of such specified percentage have joined therein may be evidenced (a) by any instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed by Securityholders in person or by agent or proxy appointed in writing, or (b) by the record of the Holders of Securities voting in favor thereof at any meeting of Securityholders duly called and held in accordance with the provisions of Article Nine, or (c) by a combination of such instrument or instruments and any such record of such a meeting of Securityholders. In determining whether the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities have taken any action (including the making of any demand or request, the waiving of any notice, consent or waiver or the taking of any other action), the principal amount of any Original Issue Discount Security that may be counted in making such determination and that shall be deemed to be outstanding for such purposes shall be equal to the amount of the principal thereof that could be declared to be due and payable upon an Event of Default pursuant to the terms of such Original Issue Discount Security at the time the taking of such action is evidence to the Trustee. 40 SECTION 8.02 PROOF OF EXECUTION BY SECURITYHOLDERS. Subject to the provisions of Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder or its agent or proxy shall be sufficient if made in the following manner: (a) In the case of Holders of Unregistered Securities, the fact and date of the execution by any such person of any instrument may be proved by the certificate of any notary public or other officer of any jurisdiction authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds or administer oaths that the person executing such instruments acknowledged to him the execution thereof or by an affidavit of a witness to such execution sworn to before any such notary or other such officer. Where such execution is by or on behalf of any legal entity other than an individual, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of the authority of the person executing the same. The fact of the holding by any Holder of a Security of any series, and the identifying number of such Security and the date of his holding the same, may be proved by the production of such Security or by a certificate executed by any trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer wherever situated satisfactory to the Trustee, if such certificate shall be deemed by the Trustee to be satisfactory. Each such certificate shall be dated and shall state that on the date thereof a Security of such series bearing a specified identifying number was deposited with or exhibited to such trust company, bank, banker or recognized securities dealer by the person named in such certificate. Any such certificate may be issued in respect of one or more Securities of one or more series specified therein. The holding by the person named in any such certificate of any Securities of any series specified therein shall be presumed to continue for a period of one year from the date of such certificate unless at the time of any determination of such holding (1) another certificate bearing a later date issued in respect of the same Securities shall be produced, or (2) the Security of such series specified in such certificate shall be produced by some other person, or (3) the Security of such series specified in such certificates shall have ceased to be outstanding. Subject to Sections 7.01, 7.02 and 9.05, the fact and date of the execution of any such instrument and the amount and numbers of Securities of any series held by the person so executing such instrument and the amount and numbers of any Security or Securities for such series may also be proven in accordance with such reasonable rules and regulations as may be prescribed by the Trustee for such series or in any other manner that the Trustee for such series may deem sufficient. (b) In the case of Registered Securities, the ownership of such Securities shall be proved by the Security Register or by a certificate of the Security Registrar. SECTION 8.03 WHO ARE DEEMED ABSOLUTE OWNERS. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may treat the Holder of any Unregistered Security and the Holder of any Coupon as the absolute owner of such Unregistered Security or Coupon (whether or not such Unregistered Security or Coupon shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. The Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent and any Security Registrar may, subject to Section 2.04 hereof, treat the person in whose name a Registered Security shall be registered upon the Security Register as the absolute owner of such Registered Security (whether or not such Registered Security shall be overdue) for the purpose of receiving payment thereof or on account thereof 41 and for all other purposes and neither the Corporation, the Trustee, any paying agent, any transfer agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice to the contrary. SECTION 8.04 CORPORATION-OWNED SECURITIES DISREGARDED. In determining whether the Holders of the required aggregate principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, consent or waiver under this Indenture, Securities that are owned by the Corporation or by any person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation, shall be disregarded and deemed not to be outstanding for the purpose of any such determination, except that for the purpose of determining whether the Trustee shall be protected in relying on any such direction, consent or waiver only Securities that the Trustee knows are so owned shall be disregarded. Securities so owned that have been pledged in good faith may be regarded as outstanding for the purposes of this Section if the pledgee shall establish to the satisfaction of the Trustee the pledgee's right to vote such Securities and that the pledgee is not a person directly or indirectly controlling or controlled by or under direct or indirect common control with the Corporation. In the case of a dispute as to such right, any decision by the Trustee taken upon the advice of counsel shall be full protection to the Trustee. SECTION 8.05 REVOCATION OF CONSENTS; FUTURE SECURITYHOLDERS BOUND. At any time prior to the taking of any action by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action, any Holder of a Security the identifying number of which is shown by the evidence to be included in the Securities the Holders of which have consented to such action may, by filing written notice with the Trustee at its office and upon proof of holding as provided in Section 8.02, revoke such action so far as concerns such Security. Except as aforesaid any such action taken by the Holder of any Security shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders and owners of such Security and of any Security issued in exchange or substitution therefor irrespective of whether or not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security. Any action taken by the Holders of the percentage in aggregate principal amount of the Securities specified in this Indenture in connection with such action shall be conclusively binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee and the Holders of all the Securities of each series intended to be affected thereby. SECTION 8.06 SECURITIES IN A FOREIGN CURRENCY. Unless otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Indenture or in an indenture supplemental hereto with respect to a particular series of Securities, on any day when for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the Holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of two or more series of outstanding Securities and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of at least one such series that are denominated in a coin or currency other than that of at least one other such series, then the principal amount of Securities of each such series (other than any such series denominated in U.S. Dollars) that shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of U.S. Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate. For purposes of this Section 8.06, "Market Exchange Rate" shall mean (i) for any conversion involving a Currency unit on the one hand and dollars or any foreign currency on the other, the exchange rate between the relevant Currency unit and dollars or such foreign currency, (ii) for any conversion of dollars into any foreign currency, the noon U.S. Dollar buying rate for such foreign currency for cable 42 transfers quoted in The City of New York on such day as certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and (iii) for any conversion of one foreign currency into dollars or another foreign currency, the spot rate at noon local time in the relevant market at which, in accordance with normal banking procedures, the dollars or foreign currency into which conversion is being made could be purchased with the foreign currency from which conversion is being made from major banks located in either New York City, London or any other principal market for dollars or such purchased foreign currency. In the event of the unavailability of any of the exchange rates provided for in the foregoing clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) the Trustee 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, London or other principal market for such Currency or Currency unit in question, or such other quotations as the Trustee shall deem appropriate. Unless otherwise specified by the Trustee, if there is more than one market for dealing in any Currency or Currency unit by reason of foreign exchange regulations or otherwise, the market to be used in respect of such Currency or Currency unit shall be that upon which a nonresident issuer of securities designated in such Currency or Currency unit would purchase such Currency or Currency unit in order to make payments in respect of such securities. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply in determining the equivalent number of votes that each Securityholder or proxy shall be entitled to pursuant to Section 9.05, in respect of Securities of a series denominated in a currency other than U.S. Dollars. All decisions and determinations of the Corporation regarding 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 Corporation and all Holders.
