(9) any and all other terms with respect to such series

(which terms shall not be inconsistent with the terms of this

Indenture).

All Securities of any one series shall be substantially

identical except as to denomination and except as may otherwise

be provided in or pursuant to any such Board Resolution or in any

indentures supplemental hereto.

If any of the terms of the series are established by action

taken pursuant to a Board Resolution, a copy of an appropriate

record of such action shall be certified by the Secretary or an

Assistant Secretary of the Company and delivered to the Trustee

at or prior to the delivery of the Officers' Certificate setting

forth the terms of the series.

SECTION 2.02. The Securities of any series and the Trustee's

Certificate of Authentication to be borne by such Securities

shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as set forth in

one or more indentures supplemental hereto or as provided in a

Board Resolution and as set forth in an Officers' Certificate,

and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of

identification or designation and such legends or endorsements

printed, lithographed or engraved thereon as the Company may deem

appropriate and as are not inconsistent with the provisions of

this Indenture, or as may be required to comply with any law or

with any rule or regulation made pursuant thereto or with any

rule or regulation of any stock exchange on which Securities of

that series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

SECTION 2.03. The Securities shall be issuable as registered

Securities and in the denominations of $1,000 or any multiple

thereof, subject to Section 2.01(8). The Securities of a

particular series shall bear interest payable on the dates and at

the rate specified with respect to that series. The principal of

and the interest on the Securities of any series, as well as any

premium thereon in case of redemption thereof prior to maturity,

shall be payable in the coin or currency of the United States of

America which at the time is legal tender for public and private

debt, at the office or agency of the Company maintained for that

purpose in either the City of Los Angeles, State of California or

the Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York. Each

Security shall be dated the date of its authentication. Interest

on the Securities shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day

year composed of twelve 30-day months; provided that interest on

Securities bearing interest of a floating rate shall be computed

on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as appropriate, for

the actual number of days elapsed.

The interest installment on any Security which is payable,

and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest

payment date for Securities of that series shall be paid to the

person in whose name said Security (or one or more Predecessor

Securities) is registered at the close of business on the regular

record date for such interest installment. In the event that any

Security of a particular series or portion thereof is called for

redemption and the redemption date is subsequent to a regular

record date with respect to any interest payment date and prior

to such interest payment date, interest on such Security will be

paid upon presentation and surrender of such Security as provided

in Section 3.03.

Any interest on any Security which is payable, but is not

punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment

date for Securities of the same series (herein called "Defaulted

Interest") shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered

holder on the relevant regular record date by virtue of having

been such holder; and such Defaulted Interest shall be paid by

the Company, at its election, as provided in clause (1) or clause

(2) below:

(1) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest

on Securities to the persons in whose names such Securities (or

their respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the

close of business on a special record date for the payment of

such Defaulted Interest, which shall be fixed in the following

manner: the Company shall notify the Trustee in writing of the

amount of Defaulted Interest proposed to be paid on each such

Security and the date of the proposed payment, and at the same

time the Company shall deposit with the Trustee an amount of

money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be paid in

respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements

satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of

the proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in

trust for the benefit of the persons entitled to such Defaulted

Interest as in this clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall

fix a special record date for the payment of such Defaulted

Interest which shall not be more than 15 or less than 10 days

prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10

days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the

proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company

of such special record date and, in the name and at the expense

of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of

such Defaulted Interest and the special record date therefor to

be mailed, first class postage prepaid, to each Securityholder at

his or her address as it appears in the Security Register (as

hereinafter defined), not less than 10 days prior to such special

record date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted

Interest and the special record date therefor having been mailed

as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the

persons in whose names such Securities (or their respective

Predecessor Securities) are registered on such special record

date and shall be no longer payable pursuant to the following

clause (2).

(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest

on any Securities in any other lawful manner not inconsistent

with the requirements of any securities exchange on which such

Securities may be listed, and upon such notice as may be required

by such exchange, if, after notice given by the Company to the

Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this clause, such

manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

The term "regular record date" as used in this Section with

respect to a series of Securities with respect to any interest

payment date for such series shall mean either the fifteenth day

of the month immediately preceding the month in which an interest

payment date established for such series pursuant to Section 2.01

hereof shall occur, if such interest payment date is the first

day of a month, or the last day of the month immediately

preceding the month in which an interest payment date established

for such series pursuant to Section 2.01 hereof shall occur, if

such interest payment date is the fifteenth day of a month,

whether or not such date is a business day.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each

Security of a series delivered under this Indenture upon transfer

of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security of such

series shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and

to accrue, which were carried by such other Security.

SECTION 2.04. The Securities shall, subject to the

provisions of Section 2.06, be printed on steel engraved borders

or fully or partially engraved, or legibly typed, as the proper

officers of the Company may determine, and shall be signed on

behalf of the Company by its President or one of its Vice

Presidents, under its corporate seal attested by its Secretary or

one of its Assistant Secretaries. The signature of the President

or a Vice President and/or the signature of the Secretary or an

Assistant Secretary in attestation of the corporate seal, upon

the Securities, may be in the form of a facsimile signature of a

present or any future President or Vice President and of a

present or any future Secretary or Assistant Secretary and may be

imprinted or otherwise reproduced on the Securities and for that

purpose the Company may use the facsimile signature of any person

who shall have been a President or Vice President, or of any

person who shall have been a Secretary or Assistant Secretary,

notwithstanding the fact that at the time the Securities shall be

authenticated and delivered or disposed of such person shall have

ceased to be the President or a Vice President, or the Secretary

or an Assistant Secretary, of the Company, as the case may be.

The seal of the Company may be in the form of a facsimile of the

seal of the Company and may be impressed, affixed, imprinted or

otherwise reproduced on the Securities.

Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of

authentication substantially in the form established for such

Securities, executed manually by an authorized signatory of the

Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent with respect to such

Securities, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture

or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate

executed by the Trustee, or by any Authenticating Agent appointed

by the Trustee with respect to such Securities, upon any Security

executed by the Company shall be conclusive evidence that the

Security so authenticated has been duly authenticated and

delivered hereunder and that the holder is entitled to the

benefits of this Indenture.

At any time and from time to time after the execution and

delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities of

any series executed by the Company to the Trustee for

authentication, together with a written order of the Company for

the authentication and delivery of such Securities, signed by its

President or any Vice President and its Treasurer or any

Assistant Treasurer, and the Trustee in accordance with such

written order shall authenticate and deliver such Securities.

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 that the form and terms

thereof have been established in conformity with the provisions

of this Indenture and that such Securities, when authenticated

and delivered by the Trustee, will be duly authorized, executed

and delivered and will constitute the legal, valid and binding

obligations of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance

with their terms.

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 this Indenture or otherwise

in a manner which is not reasonably acceptable to the Trustee.

SECTION 2.05. (a) Securities of any series may be exchanged

upon presentation thereof at the office or agency of the Company

designated for such purpose in either the City of Los Angeles,

State of California, or the Borough of Manhattan, the City and

State of New York, for other Securities of such series of

authorized denominations, and for a like aggregate principal

amount, upon payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or

other governmental charge in relation thereto, all as provided in

this Section. In respect of any Securities so surrendered for

exchange, the Company shall execute, the Trustee shall

authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange

therefor the Security or Securities of the same series which the

Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive,

bearing numbers not contemporaneously outstanding.

(b) The Company shall keep, or cause to be kept, at its

office or agency designated for such purpose in either the City

of Los Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of Manhattan,

the City and State of New York, or such other location designated

by the Company a register or registers (herein referred to as the

"Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable

regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall register the

Securities and the transfers of Securities as in this Article

provided and which at all reasonable times shall be open for

inspection by the Trustee. The registrar for the purpose of

registering Securities and transfer of Securities as herein

provided shall be appointed by the Board of Directors by Board

Resolution (the "Security Registrar").

Upon surrender for transfer of any Security at the office or

agency of the Company designated for such purpose in either the

City of Los Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of

Manhattan, the City and State of New York, the Company shall

execute, the Trustee shall authenticate and such office or agency

shall deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new

Security or Securities of the same series as the Security

presented for a like aggregate principal amount.

All Securities presented or surrendered for exchange or

registration of transfer, as provided in this Section, shall be

accompanied (if so required by the Company or the Security

Registrar) by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in

form satisfactory to the Company or the Security Registrar, duly

executed by the registered holder or by his duly authorized

attorney in writing.

registration of transfer of Securities, or issue of new

Securities in case of partial redemption of any series, but the

Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax

or other governmental charge in relation thereto, other than

exchanges pursuant to Section 2.06, the second paragraph of

Section 3.03 and Section 9.04 not involving any transfer.

(d) The Company shall not be required (a) to issue, exchange

or register the transfer of any Securities during a period

beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of

the mailing of a notice of redemption of less than all the

outstanding Securities of the same series and ending at the close

of business on the day of such mailing, nor (b) to register the

transfer of or exchange any Securities of any series or portions

thereof called for redemption.

SECTION 2.06. Pending the preparation of definitive

Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and the

Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities

(printed, lithographed or typewritten) of any authorized

denomination, and substantially in the form of the definitive

Securities in lieu of which they are issued, but with such

omissions, insertions and variations as may be appropriate for

temporary Securities, all as may be determined by the Company.

Every temporary Security of any series shall be executed by the

Company and be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same

conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with like

effect, as the definitive Securities of such series. Without

unnecessary delay the Company will execute and will furnish

definitive Securities of such series and thereupon any or all

temporary Securities of such series may be surrendered in

exchange therefor (without charge to the holders), at the office

or agency of the Company designated for the purpose in either the

City of Los Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of

Manhattan, the City and State of New York, and the Trustee shall

authenticate and such office or agency shall deliver in exchange

for such temporary Securities an equal aggregate principal amount

of definitive Securities of such series. Until so exchanged, the

temporary Securities of such series shall be entitled to the same

benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities of such

series authenticated and delivered hereunder.

SECTION 2.07. In case any temporary or definitive Security

shall become mutilated or be destroyed, lost or stolen, the

Company (subject to the next succeeding sentence) shall execute,

and upon its request the Trustee (subject as aforesaid) shall

authenticate and deliver, a new Security of the same series

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 destroyed, lost or stolen. In

every case the applicant for a substituted Security shall furnish

to the Company 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 Company and to the Trustee evidence to their

satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of the applicant's

Security and of the ownership thereof. The Trustee may

authenticate any such substituted Security and deliver the same

upon the written request or authorization of any officer of the

Company. Upon the issue of any substituted Security, the Company

may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or

other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto

and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the

Trustee) connected therewith. In case any Security which has

matured or is about to mature shall become mutilated or be

destroyed, lost or stolen, the Company may, instead of issuing a

substitute Security, pay or authorize the payment of the same

(without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated

Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the

Company and to the Trustee 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 Company and the

Trustee of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and of

the ownership thereof.

Every Security issued pursuant to the provisions of this

Section in substitution for any Security which is mutilated,

destroyed, lost or stolen shall constitute an additional

contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the

mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be found at

any time, or be enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to

all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately

with any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued

hereunder. All Securities 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 shall

preclude (to the extent lawful) 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. All Securities surrendered for the purpose of

payment, redemption, exchange or registration of transfer shall,

if surrendered to the Company or any paying agent, be delivered

to the Trustee for cancellation, or, if surrendered to the

Trustee, shall be cancelled by it, and no Securities shall be

issued in lieu thereof except as expressly required or permitted

by any of the provisions of this Indenture. On request of the

Company, the Trustee shall deliver to the Company cancelled

Securities held by the Trustee. In the absence of such request

the Trustee may dispose of cancelled Securities in accordance

with its standard procedures and deliver a certificate of

disposition to the Company. If the Company shall otherwise

acquire any of the Securities, however, such acquisition shall

not operate as a redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness

represented by such Securities unless and until the same are

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.09. Nothing in this Indenture or in the

Securities, express or implied, shall give or be construed to

give to any person, firm or corporation, other than the parties

hereto and the holders of the Securities, any legal or equitable

right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Indenture, or

under any covenant, condition or provision herein contained; all

such covenants, conditions and provisions being for the sole

benefit of the parties hereto and of the holders of the

Securities.

SECTION 2.10. So long as any of the Securities of any series

remain outstanding there may be an Authenticating Agent for any

or all such series of Securities which the Trustee shall have the

right to appoint. Said Authenticating Agent shall be authorized

to act on behalf of the Trustee to authenticate Securities of

such series issued upon exchange, transfer or partial redemption

thereof, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the

benefits of this Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for

all purposes as if authenticated by the Trustee hereunder. All

references in this Indenture to the authentication of Securities

by the Trustee shall be deemed to include authentication by an

Authenticating Agent for such series except for authentication

upon original issuance or pursuant to Section 2.07 hereof. Each

Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the Company and shall

be a corporation which has a combined capital and surplus, as

most recently reported or determined by it, sufficient under the

laws of any jurisdiction under which it is organized or in which

it is doing business to conduct a trust business, and which is

otherwise authorized under such laws to conduct such business and

is subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State

authorities. If at any time any Authenticating Agent shall cease

to be eligible in accordance with these provisions, it shall

resign immediately.

Any Authenticating Agent may at any time resign by giving

written notice of resignation to the Trustee and to the Company.

The Trustee may at any time (and upon request by the Company

shall) terminate the agency of any Authenticating Agent by giving

written notice of termination to such Authenticating Agent and to

the Company. Upon resignation, termination or cessation of

eligibility of any Authenticating Agent, the Trustee may appoint

an eligible successor Authenticating Agent acceptable to the

Company. Any

successor Authenticating Agent, upon acceptance of its

appointment hereunder, shall become vested with all the rights,

powers and duties of its predecessor hereunder as if originally

named as an Authenticating Agent pursuant hereto.

ARTICLE THREE

Redemption of Securities and Sinking Fund Provisions

SECTION 3.01. The Company may redeem the Securities of any

series issued hereunder on and after the dates and in accordance

with the terms established for such series pursuant to Section

2.01 hereof.

SECTION 3.02. (a) In case the Company shall desire to

exercise such right to redeem all or, as the case may be, a

portion of the Securities of any series in accordance with the

right reserved so to do, it shall give notice of such redemption

to holders of the Securities of such series to be redeemed by

mailing, first class postage prepaid, a notice of such redemption

not less than 30 days and not more than 60 days before the date

fixed for redemption of that series to such holders at their last

addresses as they shall appear upon the Security Register. Any

notice which is mailed in the manner herein provided shall be

conclusively presumed to have been duly given, whether or not the

registered holder receives the notice. In any case, failure duly

to give such notice to the holder of any Security of any series

designated for redemption in whole or in part, or any defect in

the notice, shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for

the redemption of any other Securities of such series or any

other series. In the case of any redemption of Securities prior

to the expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided

in the terms of such Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture,

the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers'

Certificate evidencing compliance with any such restriction.

Each such notice of redemption shall specify the date fixed

for redemption and the redemption price at which Securities of

that series are to be redeemed, and shall state that payment of

the redemption price of such Securities to be redeemed will be

made at the office or agency of the Company in either the City of

Los Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of Manhattan,

the City and State of New York, upon presentation and surrender

of such Securities, that interest accrued to the date fixed for

redemption will be paid as specified in said notice, that from

and after said date interest will cease to accrue and that the

redemption is for a sinking fund, if such is the case. If less

than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the

notice to the holders of Securities of that series to be redeemed

in whole or in part shall specify the particular Securities to be

so redeemed. In case any Security is to be redeemed in part only,

the notice which relates to such Security shall state the portion

of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed, and shall state

that on and after the redemption date, upon surrender of such

Security, a new Security or Securities of such series in

principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be

issued.

(b) If less than all the Securities of a series are to be

redeemed, the Company shall give the Trustee at least 45 days'

notice in advance of the date fixed for redemption as to the

aggregate principal amount of Securities of the series to be

redeemed, and thereupon the Trustee shall select, by lot or in

such other manner as it shall deem appropriate and fair in its

discretion and which may provide for the selection of a portion

or portions (equal to $1,000 or any multiple thereof) of the

principal amount of such Securities of a denomination larger than

$1,000, the Securities to be redeemed and shall thereafter

promptly notify the Company in writing of the numbers of the

Securities to be redeemed, in whole or in part.

The Company may, if and whenever it shall so elect, by

delivery of instructions signed on its behalf by its President or

any Vice President, instruct the Trustee or any paying agent to

call all or any part of the Securities of a particular series for

redemption and to give notice of redemption in the manner set

forth in this Section, such notice to be in the name of the

Company or its own name as the Trustee or such paying agent may

deem advisable. In any case in which notice of redemption is to

be given by the Trustee or any such paying agent, the Company

shall deliver or cause to be delivered to, or permit to remain

with, the Trustee or such paying agent, as the case may be, such

Security Register, transfer books or other records, or suitable

copies or extracts therefrom, sufficient to enable the Trustee or

such paying agent to give any notice by mail that may be required

under the provisions of this Section.

SECTION 3.03. (a) If the giving of notice of redemption

shall have been completed as above provided, the Securities or

portions of Securities of the series to be redeemed specified in

such notice shall become due and payable on the date and at the

place stated in such notice at the applicable redemption price,

together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption

and interest on such Securities or portions of Securities shall

cease to accrue on and after the date fixed for redemption,

unless the Company shall default in the payment of such

redemption price and accrued interest with respect to any such

Security or portion thereof. On presentation and surrender of

such Securities on or after the date fixed for redemption at the

place of payment specified in the notice, said Securities shall

be paid and redeemed at the applicable redemption price for such

series, together with interest accrued thereon to the date fixed

for redemption (but if the date fixed for redemption is an

interest payment date, the interest installment payable on such

date shall be payable to the registered holder at the close of

business on the applicable record date pursuant to Section 2.03).

(b) Upon presentation of any Security of such series which

is to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the

Trustee shall authenticate and the office or agency where the

Security is presented shall deliver to the holder thereof, at the

expense of the Company, a new Security or Securities of the same

series, of authorized denominations in principal amount equal to

the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

SECTION 3.04. The provisions of Sections 3.04, 3.05 and 3.06

shall be applicable to any sinking fund for the retirement of

Securities of a series, except as otherwise specified as

contemplated by Section 2.01 for Securities of such series.

The minimum amount of any sinking fund payment provided for

by the terms of Securities of any series is herein referred to as

a "mandatory sinking fund payment", and any payment in excess of

such minimum amount provided for by the terms of Securities of

any series is herein referred to as an "optional sinking fund

payment". If provided for by the terms of Securities of any

series, the cash amount of any sinking fund payment may be

subject to reduction as provided in Section 3.05. Each sinking

fund payment shall be applied to the redemption of Securities of

any series as provided for by the terms of Securities of such

series.

SECTION 3.05. The Company (1) may deliver Outstanding

Securities of a series (other than any previously called for

redemption) and (2) may apply as a credit Securities of a series

which have been redeemed either at the election of the Company

pursuant to the terms of such Securities or through the

application of permitted optional sinking fund payments pursuant

to the terms of such Securities, in each case in satisfaction of

all or any part of any sinking fund payment with respect to the

Securities of such series required to be made pursuant to the

terms of such Securities as provided for by the terms of such

series; provided that such Securities have not been previously so

credited. Such Securities shall be received and credited for such

purpose by the Trustee at the redemption price specified in such

Securities for redemption through operation of the sinking fund

and the amount of such sinking fund payment shall be reduced

accordingly.

SECTION 3.06. Not less than 45 days prior to each sinking

fund payment date for any series of Securities, the Company will

deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate specifying the

amount of the next ensuing sinking fund payment for that series

pursuant to the terms of that series, the portion thereof, if

any, which is to be satisfied by delivering and crediting

Securities of that series pursuant to Section 3.05 and the basis

for such credit and will also deliver to the Trustee any

Securities to be so delivered. Not less than 30 days before each

such sinking fund payment date the Trustee shall select the

Securities to be redeemed upon such sinking fund payment date in

the manner specified in Section 3.02 and cause notice of the

redemption thereof to be given in the name of and at the expense

of the Company in the manner provided in Section 3.02. Such

notice having been duly given, the redemption of such Securities

shall be made upon the terms and in the manner stated in Section

3.03.

ARTICLE FOUR

Particular Covenants of the Company

The Company covenants and agrees for each series of the

Securities as follows:

SECTION 4.01. The Company will duly and punctually pay or

cause to be paid the principal of (and premium, if any) and

interest on the Securities of that series at the time and place

and in the manner provided herein and established with respect to

such Securities.

SECTION 4.02. So long as any series of the Securities remain

outstanding, the Company agrees to maintain an office or agency

in either the City of Los Angeles, State of California, or the

Borough of Manhattan, the City and State of New York, with

respect to each such series and at such other location or

locations as may be designated as provided in this Section 4.02,

where (i) Securities of that series may be presented for payment,

(ii) Securities of that series may be presented as hereinabove

authorized for registration of transfer and exchange, and (iii)

notices and demands to or upon the Company in respect of the

Securities of that series and this Indenture may be given or

served. As to such office or agency in either the City of Los

Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of Manhattan, the

City and State of New York, the Company shall, designate the

required office or agency to be located in either the City of Los

Angeles, State of California, or the Borough of Manhattan, the

City and State of New York, for each Series of Securities, such

designation to continue with respect to such office or agency

until the Company shall, by written notice signed by its

President or a Vice President and delivered to

the Trustee, designate some other office or agency for such

purposes or any of them. If at any time the Company shall fail to

maintain any such required office or agency or shall fail to

furnish the Trustee with the address thereof, such presentations,

notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate Trust

Office of the Trustee, and the Company hereby appoints the

Trustee as its agent to receive all such presentations, notices

and demands.

SECTION 4.03. (a) If the Company shall appoint one or more

paying agents for all or any series of the Securities, other than

the Trustee, the Company will cause each 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 all sums held by it as such agent for the

payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on

the Securities of that series (whether such sums have been paid

to it by the Company or by any other obligor on such securities)

in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto;

(2) that it will give the Trustee notice of any failure by the

Company (or by any other obligor on such Securities) to make any

payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on

the Securities of that series when the same shall be due and

payable;

(3) that it will, at any time during the continuance of any

failure referred to in the preceding paragraph (a)(2) above, upon

the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee

all sums so held in trust by such paying agent; and

(4) that it will perform all other duties of paying agent as set

forth in this Indenture.

(b) If the Company shall act as its own paying agent with

respect to any series of the Securities, it will on or before

each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any) or

interest on Securities of that series, set aside, segregate and

hold in trust for the benefit of the persons entitled thereto a

sum sufficient to pay such principal (and premium, if any) or

interest so becoming due on Securities of that series until such

sums shall be paid to such persons or otherwise disposed of as

herein provided and will promptly notify the Trustee of such

action, or any failure (by it or any other obligor on such

Securities) to take such action. Whenever the Company shall have

one or more paying agents for any series of Securities, it will,

prior to each due date of the principal of (and premium, if any)

or interest on any Securities of that series, deposit with a

paying agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium,

if any) or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust

for the benefit of the persons entitled to such principal,

premium or interest, and (unless such paying agent is the

Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the Trustee of its

action or failure so to act.

notwithstanding, (i) the agreement to hold sums in trust as

Trustee may request in writing, within 30 days after the receipt

by the Company of any such request, a list of similar form and

content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time such

list is furnished; provided, however, no such list need be

furnished for any series for which the Trustee shall be the

Security Registrar.

SECTION 5.02. (a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current

a form as is reasonably practicable, all information as to the

names and addresses of the holders of Securities contained in the

most recent list furnished to it

as provided in Section 5.01 and as to the names and addresses of

other holders of Securities of such series or holders of all

Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or

under such Securities, and is accompanied by a copy of the form

of proxy or other communication which such applicants propose to

transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business days after

the receipt of such application, at its election, either

at the time by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of

subsection (a) of this Section, or

(2) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of

with reasonable promptness after the entry of such order and the

renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved

of any obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their

application.

any Security Registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the

disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses

expressly included in this Indenture solely for the benefit of

one or more series of Securities other than such series) for a

period of 90 days after the date on which written notice of such

failure, requiring the same to be remedied and stating that such

notice is a "Notice of Default" hereunder, shall have been given

to the Company by the Trustee, by registered or certified mail,

or to the Company and the Trustee by the holders of at least 25%

in principal amount of the Securities of that series at the time

then outstanding hereunder, by notice in writing to the Company

(and to the Trustee if given by such Securityholders), may

and all defaults under the Indenture, other than the nonpayment

become due by their terms, shall have been remedied or waived as

provided in Section 6.06 then and in every such case the holders

of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of

that series then outstanding, by written notice to the Company

right with respect to Securities of that series under this

Indenture and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or

abandoned because of such rescission or annulment or for any

other reason or shall have been determined adversely to the

Trustee, then and in every such case the Company and the Trustee

shall be restored respectively to their former positions and

rights hereunder, and all rights, remedies and powers of the

Company and the Trustee shall continue as though no such

proceedings had been taken.

business 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 a series when the same shall have become due and

upon redemption or upon declaration or otherwise--then, upon

demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for

the benefit of the holders of the Securities of that series, the

whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all

such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) or interest,

or both, 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 at the rate per annum expressed

in the Securities of that series; and, in addition thereto, such

further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and

expenses of collection, and the amount payable to the Trustee

under Section 7.06.

(b) In case the Company 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 proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may

property of either, the Trustee shall have power to intervene in

such proceedings and take any action therein that may be

permitted by the court and shall (except as may be otherwise

provided by law) be entitled to file such proofs of claim and

other papers and documents as may be necessary or advisable in

order to have the claims of the Trustee and of the holders of

Securities of such series allowed for the entire amount due and

additional amount which may become due and payable by the Company

or such other obligor after such date, and to collect and receive

any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such

claim, and to distribute the same after the deduction of the

amount payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06; and any

receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization is

hereby authorized by each of the holders of Securities of such

series to make such payments to the Trustee, and, in the event

that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments

directly to such Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any

amount due it under Section 7.06.

(d) All rights of action and of asserting claims under this

Indenture, or under any of the terms established with respect to

Securities of that series, may be enforced by the Trustee without

the possession of any of such Securities, or the production

thereof at any trial or other proceeding relative thereto, and

any such suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be

brought in its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any

recovery of judgment shall, after provision for payment to the

Trustee of any amounts due under Section 7.06, be for the ratable

benefit of the holders of the Securities of such series.

In case of an Event of 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 the 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.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the

Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf

of any Securityholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement,

adjustment or composition affecting the Securities of that series

or the rights of any holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee

to vote in respect of the claim of any Securityholder in any such

proceeding.

to Section 6.02 with respect to a particular series of Securities

shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates

fixed by the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such

moneys on account of principal (or premium, if any) or interest,

upon presentation of the several Securities of that series, and

stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon

surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of costs and expenses of collection and of

all amounts payable to the Trustee under Section 7.06;

SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon

Securities of such series for principal (and premium, if any) and

interest, in respect of which or for the benefit of which such

money has been collected, ratably, without preference or priority

of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such

Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,

respectively.

have any right by virtue or by availing of any provision of this

Indenture to institute any suit, action or proceeding in equity

or at law 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 an Event of Default and of the

continuance thereof with respect to Securities of such series

specifying such Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and

unless also the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate

principal amount of the Securities of such series then

outstanding shall have made written request upon the Trustee to

institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as

trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such

reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs,

expenses and liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and

the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request

and offer of indemnity, shall have failed to institute any

such action, suit or proceeding; it being understood and

intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and holder

of every Security of such series with every other such taker and

holder and the Trustee, that no one or more holders of Securities

of such series shall have any right in any manner whatsoever by

virtue or by availing of any provision of this Indenture to

affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the holders of any

other of 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 of such series. For the protection and enforcement of

the provisions 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 of this Indenture,

however, the right of any holder of any Security to receive

payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on

such Security, as therein provided, on or after the respective

due dates expressed in such Security (or in the case of

redemption, on the redemption date), or to institute suit for the

enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates

or redemption date, shall not be impaired or affected without the

consent of such holder.

SECTION 6.05. (a) All powers and remedies given by this

Article to the Trustee or to the Securityholders shall, to the

extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive

of any others thereof or of any other powers and remedies

available to the Trustee or the holders of the Securities, by

judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or

observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this

Indenture or otherwise established with respect to such

Securities.

(b) No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any holder of

any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing

upon any Event of 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 or by law to the Trustee or to the

Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often

as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the

Securityholders.

SECTION 6.06. The holders of a majority in aggregate

principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time

outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, shall

have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting

any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or

exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with

respect to such series; provided, however, that such direction

shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with this

Indenture or unduly prejudicial to the rights of holders of

Securities of any other series at the time outstanding determined

in accordance with Section 8.04, not parties thereto. Subject to

the provisions of Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right

to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in good

faith shall, by a responsible officer or officers of the Trustee,

determine that the proceeding so directed would involve the

Trustee in personal liability. The holders of a majority in

aggregate principal amount of the Securities of any series at the

time outstanding, determined in accordance with Section 8.04, may

on behalf of the holders of all of the Securities of that series

waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants

contained herein

or established pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to such

series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of

the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on, any of the

Securities of that series as and when the same shall become due

by the terms of such Securities or a call for redemption of

Securities of that series. Upon any such waiver, the default

covered thereby shall be deemed to be cured for all purposes of

this Indenture and the Company, the Trustee and the holders of

the Securities of that 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 impair any

right consequent thereon.

SECTION 6.07. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the

occurrence of a default with respect to a particular series,

transmit by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the holders of

Securities of that series, as their names and addresses appear

upon the Security Register, notice of all defaults with respect

to that series known to the Trustee, unless such defaults shall

have been cured before the giving of such notice (the term

"defaults" for the purposes of this Section being hereby defined

to be the events specified in subsections (1), (2), (3), (4) and

(5) of Section 6.01(a), not including any periods of grace

provided for therein and irrespective of the giving of notice

provided for by subsection (3) of Section 6.01(a)); provided,

that, except in the case of default in the payment of the

principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any of the

Securities of that series or in the payment of any sinking fund

installment established with respect to that 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 and/or responsible officers, of the

Trustee in good faith determine that the withholding of such

notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of Securities

of that series; provided further, that in the case of any default

of the character specified in Section 6.01(a)(3) with respect to

Securities of such series no such notice to the holders of the

Securities of that series shall be given until at least 30 days

after the occurrence thereof.

The Trustee shall not be deemed to have knowledge of any

default, except (i) a default under subsections (a)(1) or (a)(2)

of Section 6.01 as long as the Trustee is acting as paying agent

for such series of Securities or (ii) any default as to which the

Trustee shall have received written notice or a responsible

officer charged with the administration of this Indenture shall

have obtained actual knowledge.

SECTION 6.08. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each

holder of any Securities by his or her acceptance thereof shall

be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion

require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy

under this Indenture, or in any suit against the Trustee for any

action taken or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party

litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such

suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable

costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party

litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good

faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but

the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any suit

instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any

Securityholder, or group of Securityholders, holding more than

10% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities

of any series, or to any suit instituted by any Securityholder

for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or

premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, on

or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security or

established pursuant to this Indenture.

ARTICLE SEVEN

Concerning the Trustee

SECTION 7.01. (a) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an

Event of Default with respect to Securities of a series and after

the curing of all Events of Default with respect to Securities of

that series which may have occurred, shall undertake to perform

with respect to Securities of such series such duties and only

such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and

no implied covenants shall be read into this Indenture against

the Trustee. In case an Event of Default with respect to

Securities of a series has occurred (which has not been cured or

waived), the Trustee shall exercise with respect to Securities of

that series such of the rights and powers vested in it by this

Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their

exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the

circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

(b) 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

(1) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect

to Securities of a series and after the curing or waiving of all

such Events of Default with respect to that series which may have

occurred:

(i) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall with respect

to Securities of such series be determined solely by the express

provisions of this Indenture, and the Trustee shall not be liable

with respect to Securities of such series 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

(ii) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the

Trustee may with respect to Securities of such series

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;

(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment

made in good faith by a responsible officer or responsible

officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the

Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

(3) 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 not less than a majority in

principal amount of the Securities of any series at the time

outstanding 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 with respect to the Securities of that series; and

(4) None of the provisions contained in this Indenture shall

require the Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise

incur personal financial liability in the performance of any of

its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if

there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of

such funds or liability is not reasonably assured to it under the

terms of this Indenture or adequate indemnity against such risk

is not reasonably assured to it.

SECTION 7.02. Except as otherwise provided in 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, approval, bond, security 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 Company

mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by a Board

Resolution or an instrument signed in the name of the Company by

the President or any Vice President and by the Secretary or an

Assistant Secretary or the Treasurer or an Assistant Treasurer

(unless other evidence in respect thereof is specifically

prescribed herein);

advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full

and complete authorization and protection in respect of any

action taken or suffered or omitted hereunder in good faith and

in reliance thereon;

(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 may be incurred therein or thereby; nothing herein

contained shall, however, relieve the Trustee of the obligation,

upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect to a

series of the Securities (which has not been cured or waived) to

exercise with respect to Securities of that series such of the

rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and to use the

same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man

would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of

his own affairs;

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or

omitted to be 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;

(f) The Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation

into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate,

statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent,

order, approval, bond, security, or other papers or documents,

unless requested in writing so to do by the holders of not less

than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities

of the particular series affected thereby (determined as provided

in Section 8.04); provided, however, that if the payment within a

reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or

liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such

investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably

assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the

terms of this Indenture, the Trustee may require reasonable

indemnity against such costs, expenses or liabilities as a

condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such

examination shall be paid by the Company or, if paid by the

Trustee, shall be repaid by the Company upon demand; and

(g) 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 and the Trustee shall not be

responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any

agent or attorney appointed with due care by it hereunder.

SECTION 7.03. (a) The recitals contained herein and in the

Securities (other than the Certificate of Authentication on the

Securities) shall be taken as the statements of the Company, and

the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the

same.

(b) The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity

or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities.

application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the

proceeds of such Securities, or for the use or application of any

moneys paid over by the Trustee in accordance with any provision

of this Indenture or established pursuant to Section 2.01, or for

the use or application of any moneys received by any paying agent

other than the Trustee.

SECTION 7.04. The Trustee or any paying agent or Security

Registrar, in its individual or any other capacity, may become

the owner or pledgee of Securities with the same rights it would

have if it were not Trustee, paying agent or Security Registrar.

SECTION 7.05. Subject to the provisions of Section 11.05,

all moneys received by the Trustee 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. The Trustee shall be under

no liability for interest on any moneys received by it hereunder

except such as it may agree with the Company to pay thereon.

SECTION 7.06. (a) The Company covenants and agrees to pay to

the Trustee from time to time, and the Trustee shall be entitled

to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any

provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an

express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution

of the trusts hereby created and in the exercise and performance

of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the

Company 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 and the

expenses and disbursements of its counsel (including in-house

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. The Company also covenants to indemnify

the Trustee (and its officers, agents, directors and employees)

for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or

expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of

the Trustee and arising out of or in connection with the

acceptance or administration of this trust, including the costs

and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability

in the premises.

(b) The obligations of the Company under this Section to

compensate and indemnify the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the

Trustee for 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.

SECTION 7.07. Except as otherwise provided in 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 or

omitting to take any action 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 to be taken by it under the

provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

SECTION 7.08. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any

conflicting interest, as defined in this Section, with respect to

the Securities of any series and if the Default to which such

conflicting interest relates has not been cured, duly waived or

otherwise eliminated, within 90 days after ascertaining that it

has such conflicting interest, it shall either eliminate such

conflicting interest, except as otherwise provided herein, or

resign with respect to the Securities of that series in the

manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10 and the

Company shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee in the manner

provided herein.

(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with

the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, with respect to

the Securities of any series the Trustee shall, within ten days

after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of

such failure by mail, first class postage prepaid, to the

Securityholders of that series as their names and addresses

appear upon the registration books.

deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the

Securities of any series if a Default has occurred and is

continuing and:

(1) the Trustee is trustee under this Indenture with respect to

the outstanding Securities of any series other than that series,

or is trustee under another indenture under which any other

securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any

other securities, of the Company are outstanding, unless such

other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the

only collateral consists of Securities issued under this

Indenture; provided that there shall be excluded from the

operation of this paragraph the Securities of any series other

than that series and any other indenture or indentures under

which other securities, or certificates of interest or

participation in other securities, of the Company are outstanding

if (i) this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures and

all series of securities issuable thereunder are wholly unsecured

and rank equally and such other indenture or indentures (and such

series) are hereafter qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of

1939, as amended, unless the Securities and Exchange Commission

shall have found and declared by order pursuant to subsection (b)

of Section 305 or subsection (c) of Section 307 of the Trust

Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, that differences exist between

(A) the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Securities

of that series and with respect to one or more other series or

(B) the provisions of this Indenture and the provisions of such

other indenture or indentures (or such series), which are so

likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it

necessary in the public interest or for the protection of

investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under

this Indenture with respect to the Securities of that series and

such other series or such other indenture or indentures, or (ii)

the Company shall have sustained the burden of proving, on

application to the Securities and Exchange Commission and after

opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this

Indenture with respect to Securities of that series and such

other series or such other indenture or indentures is not so

likely to involve a material conflict of interest as to make it

necessary in the public interest or for the protection of

investors to disqualify the Trustee from acting as such under

this Indenture with respect to Securities of that series and such

other series or under such other indentures;

(2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is

an underwriter for the Company;

(3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or

indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common

control with or an underwriter for the Company;

(4) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive

officers is a director, officer, partner, employee, appointee or

representative of the Company, or of an underwriter (other than

the Trustee itself) for the Company who is currently engaged in

the business of underwriting, except that (A) one individual may

be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and a

director and/or an executive officer of the Company, but may not

be at the same time an executive officer of both the Trustee and

the Company; (B) if and so long as the number of directors of the

Trustee in office is more than nine, one additional individual

may be a director and/or an executive officer of the Trustee and

a director of the Company; and (C) the Trustee may be designated

by the Company or by an underwriter for the Company to act in the

capacity of transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent,

fiscal agent, escrow agent, or depository, or in any other

similar capacity, or, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)

of this subsection (c), to act as trustee whether under an

indenture or otherwise;

(5) 10% or more of the voting securities of the Trustee is

beneficially owned either by the Company or by any director,

partner, or executive officer thereof, or 20% or more of such

voting securities is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two

or more of such persons; or 10% or more of the voting securities

of the Trustee is beneficially owned either by an underwriter for

the Company or by any director, partner, or executive officer

thereof, or is beneficially owned, collectively, by any two or

more such persons;

(6) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as

collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as

hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), (A) 5% or more of

the voting securities, or 10% or more of any other class of

security, of the Company, not including the Securities issued

under this Indenture and securities issued under any other

indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) 10% or

more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company;

(7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as

collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as

hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 5% or more of the

voting securities of any person who, to the knowledge of the

Trustee, owns 10% or more of the voting securities of, or

controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect

common control with, the Company;

(8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as

collateral security for an obligation which is in default (as

hereinafter in this subsection (c) defined), 10% or more of any

class of security of any person who, to the knowledge of the

Trustee, owns 50% or more of the voting securities of the

Company;

(9) the Trustee owns, on the date of Default upon the Securities

of any series or any anniversary of such Default while such

Default upon the Securities issued under this Indenture remains

outstanding, in the capacity of executor, administrator,

testamentary or inter vivos trustee, guardian, committee or

conservator, or in any other similar capacity, an aggregate of

25% or more of the voting securities, or of any class of

security, of any person, the beneficial ownership of a specified

percentage of which would have constituted a conflicting interest

under paragraph (6), (7), or (8) of this subsection (d). As to

any such securities of which the Trustee acquired ownership

through becoming executor, administrator or testamentary trustee

of an estate which include them, the provisions of the preceding

sentence shall not apply, for a period of two years from the date

of such acquisition, to the extent that such securities included

in such estate do not exceed 25% of such voting securities or 25%

of any such class of security. Promptly after the dates of any

such Default upon the Securities issued under this Indenture and

annually in each succeeding year that the Securities issued under

this Indenture remain in Default, the Trustee shall make a check

of its holding of such securities in any of the above-mentioned

capacities as of such dates. If the Company fails to make payment

in full of principal of or interest on any of the Securities when

and as the same becomes due and payable, and such failure

continues for 30 days thereafter, the Trustee shall make a prompt

check of its holding of such securities in any of the

above-mentioned capacities as of the date of the expiration of

such 30-day period, and after such date, notwithstanding the

foregoing provisions of this paragraph (9), all such securities

so held by the Trustee, with sole or joint control over such

securities vested in it, shall, but only so long as such failure

shall continue, be considered as though beneficially owned by the

Trustee for the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7) and (8) of this

subsection (c); or (10) except under the circumstances described

in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of subsection (b) of

Section 7.13 the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor of

the Company.

For purposes of paragraph (1) of this subsection (c), and of

Section 6.06, the term "series of Securities" or "series" means a

series, class or group of securities issuable under an indenture

pursuant to whose terms holders of one such series may vote to

direct the indenture trustee, or otherwise take action pursuant

to a vote of such holders, separately from holders of another

such series; provided, that "series of securities" or "series"

shall not include any series of securities issuable under an

indenture if all such series rank equally and are wholly

unsecured.

The specification of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9),

inclusive, of this subsection (c) shall not be construed as

indicating that the ownership of such percentages of the

securities of a person is or is not necessary or sufficient to

constitute direct or indirect control for the purposes of

paragraph (3) or (7) of this subsection (c).

For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this

subsection (c) only, (A) the terms "security" and "securities"

shall include only such securities as are generally known as

corporate securities, but shall not include any note or other

evidence of indebtedness issued to evidence an obligation to

repay moneys lent to a person by one or more banks, trust

companies or banking firms, or any certificate of interest or

participation in any such note or evidence of indebtedness; (B)

an obligation shall be deemed to be in "default" when a default

in payment of principal shall have continued for 30 days or more

and shall not have been cured; and (C) the Trustee shall not be

deemed to be the owner or holder of (i) any security which it

holds as collateral security (as trustee or otherwise) for any

obligation which is not in default as defined in clause (B)

above, or (ii) any security which it holds as collateral security

under this Indenture, irrespective of any Default hereunder, or

(iii) any security which it holds as agent for collection, or as

custodian, escrow agent or depositary, or in any similar

representative capacity.

Except as above provided, the word "security" or

"securities" as used in this Indenture shall mean any note,

stock, treasury stock, bond, debenture, evidence of indebtedness,

certificate of interest or participation in any profit-sharing

agreement, collateral-trust certificate, pre-organization

certificate or subscription, transferable share, investment

contract, voting-trust certificate, certificate of deposit for a

security, fractional undivided interest in oil, gas, or other

mineral rights, or, in general, any interest or instrument

commonly known as a "security", or any certificate of interest or

participation in, temporary or interim certificate for, receipt

for, guarantee of, or warrant or right to subscribe to or

purchase, any of the foregoing.

(d) For the purposes of this Section:

(1) The term "underwriter" when used with reference to the

Company shall mean every person, who, within one year prior to

the time as of which the determination is made, has purchased

from the Company with a view to, or has offered or sold for the

Company in connection with, the distribution of any security of

the Company outstanding at such time, or has participated or has

had a direct or indirect participation in any such undertaking,

or has participated or has had a participation in the direct or

indirect underwriting of any such undertaking, but such term

shall not include a person whose interest was limited to a

commission from an underwriter or dealer not in excess of the

usual and customary distributors' or sellers' commission.

(2) The term "director" shall mean any member of the board

of directors of a corporation or any individual performing

similar functions with respect to any organization whether

incorporated or unincorporated.

(3) The term "person" shall mean an individual, a

corporation, a partnership, an association, a joint-stock

company, a trust, an unincorporated organization or a government

or political subdivision thereof. As used in this paragraph, the

term "trust" shall include only a trust where the interest or

interests of the beneficiary or beneficiaries are evidenced by a

security.

(4) The term "voting security" shall mean any security

presently entitling the owner or holder thereof to vote in the

direction or management of the affairs of a person, or any

security issued under or pursuant to any trust, agreement or

arrangement whereby a trustee or trustees or agent or agents for

the owner or holder of such security are presently entitled to

vote in the direction or management of the affairs of a person.

(5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon the

Securities.

(6) The term "executive officer" shall mean the president,

every vice president, every assistant vice president, every trust

officer, the cashier, the secretary, and the treasurer of a

corporation, and any individual customarily performing similar

functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated

or unincorporated, but shall not include the chairman of the

board of directors.

(e) The percentages of voting securities and other

securities specified in this Section shall be calculated in

accordance with the following provisions:

(1) A specified percentage of the voting securities of the

Trustee, the Company or any other person referred to in this

Section (each of whom is referred to as a "person" in this

paragraph) means such amount of the outstanding voting securities

of such person as entitles the holder or holders thereof to cast

such specified percentage of the aggregate votes which the

holders of all the outstanding voting securities of such person

are entitled to cast in the direction or management of the

affairs of such person.

(2) A specified percentage of a class of securities of a

person means such percentage of the aggregate amount of

securities of the class outstanding.

(3) The term "amount", when used in regard to securities,

means the principal amount if relating to evidences of

indebtedness, the number of shares if relating to capital shares,

and the number of units if relating to any other kind of

security.

(4) The term "outstanding" means issued and not held by or

for the account of the issuer. The following securities shall not

be deemed outstanding within the meaning of this definition:

(i) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to

securities of the issuer of the same class,

(ii) securities of an issuer held in a sinking fund relating to

another class of securities of the issuer, if the obligation

evidenced by such other class of securities is not in default as

to principal or interest or otherwise,

(iii) securities pledged by the issuer thereof as security for an

obligation of the issuer not in default as to principal or

interest or otherwise,

(iv) securities held in escrow if placed in escrow by the issuer

thereof.

Provided, however, that any voting securities of an issuer shall

be deemed outstanding if any person other than the issuer is

entitled to exercise the voting rights thereof.

(5) A security shall be deemed to be of the same class as

another security if both securities confer upon the holder or

holders thereof substantially the same rights and privileges;

provided, however, that, in the case of secured evidences of

indebtedness, all of which are issued under a single indenture,

differences in the interest rates or maturity dates of various

series thereof shall not be deemed sufficient to constitute such

series different classes; and provided, further, that, in the

case of unsecured evidences of indebtedness, differences in the

interest rates or maturity dates thereof shall not be deemed

sufficient to constitute them securities of different classes,

whether or not they are issued under a single indenture.

(f) Except in the case of a default in the payment of the

principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Securities

issued under this Indenture, or in the payment of any sinking or

analogous fund installment, the Trustee shall not be required to

resign as provided by this Section 7.08 if such Trustee shall

have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the

Securities and Exchange Commission and after opportunity for

hearing thereon, that (i) the default under the Indenture may be

cured or waived during a reasonable period and under the

procedures described in such application and (ii) a stay of the

Trustee's duty to resign will not be inconsistent with the

interests of Securityholders. The filing of such an application

shall automatically stay the performance of the duty to resign

until the Securities and Exchange Commission orders otherwise.

Any resignation of the Trustee shall become effective only

upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor's

acceptance of such an appointment.

SECTION 7.09. There shall at all times be a Trustee with

respect to the Securities issued hereunder which shall at all

times be a corporation organized and doing business under the

laws of the United States of America or any State or Territory

thereof or of the District of Columbia, or a corporation or other

person permitted to act as trustee by the Securities and Exchange

Commission, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate

trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least

50 million dollars, and subject to supervision or examination by

Federal, State, Territorial, or District of Columbia authority.

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

shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set

forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The

Company may not, nor may any person directly or indirectly

controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the

Company, serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall

cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this

Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and

with the effect specified in Section 7.10.

SECTION 7.10. (a) The Trustee or any successor hereafter

appointed, may at any time resign with respect to the Securities

of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the

Company and by transmitting notice of resignation by mail, first

class postage prepaid, to the Securityholders of such series, as

their names and addresses appear upon the Security Register. Upon

receiving such notice of resignation, the Company shall promptly

appoint a successor trustee with respect to Securities of such

series by written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of

the Board of Directors, 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 30 days after the mailing of

such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition

any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a

successor trustee with respect to Securities of such series, or

any Securityholder of that series who has been a bona fide holder

of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, subject

to the provisions of Section 6.08, on behalf of himself 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--

(1) the Trustee shall fail to comply with the

provisions of subsection (a) of Section 7.08 after written

request therefor by the Company or by any Securityholder who has

been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for at least

six months, or

(2) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance

with the provisions of Section 7.09 and shall fail to resign

after written request therefor by the Company or by any such

Securityholder of Securities, or

(3) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting, 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 Company may remove the Trustee with

respect to all Securities and appoint a successor trustee by

written instrument, in duplicate, executed by order of the Board

of Directors, 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, unless the Trustee's

duty to resign is stayed as provided herein, any Securityholder

who has been a bona fide holder of a Security or Securities for

at least six months may, on behalf of himself and all others

similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction

for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor

trustee. Such court may thereupon after such notice, if any, as

it may deem proper and prescribe, remove the Trustee and appoint

a successor trustee.

of the Securities of any series at the time outstanding may at

any time remove the Trustee with respect to such series and

appoint a successor trustee.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and

appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the Securities

of a series 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.

(e) Any successor trustee appointed pursuant to this Section

may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more

series or all of such series, and at any time there shall be only

one Trustee with respect to the Securities of any particular

series.

SECTION 7.11. (a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a

successor trustee with respect to all Securities, every such

successor trustee so appointed shall execute, acknowledge and

deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an instrument

accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or

removal of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such

successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance,

shall become vested with all the rights, powers, trusts and

duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request of the

Company or the successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall,

upon payment of its charges, execute and deliver an instrument

transferring to such successor trustee all the rights, powers,

and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign,

transfer and deliver to such successor trustee all property and

money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder.

(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor

trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more (but not

all) series, the Company, the retiring Trustee and each successor

trustee with respect to the Securities of one or more series

shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto

wherein each successor trustee shall accept such appointment and

which (1) shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or

desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each

successor trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of

the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or

those series to which the appointment of such successor trustee

relates, (2) shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed

necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,

trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the

Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring

Trustee is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the

retiring Trustee, and (3) 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, 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 and that no Trustee shall be responsible for any act or

failure to act on the part of any other Trustee hereunder; and

upon the execution and delivery of such supplemental indenture

the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall become

effective to the extent provided therein, such retiring Trustee

shall with respect to the Securities of that or those series to

which the appointment of such successor trustee relates have no

further responsibility for the exercise of rights and powers or

for the performance of the duties and obligations vested in the

Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor trustee,

without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested

with all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring

Trustee with respect to the

Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of

such successor trustee relates; but, on request of the Company or

any successor trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign,

transfer and deliver to such successor trustee, to the extent

contemplated by such supplemental indenture, the property and

money held by such retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the

Securities of that or those series to which the appointment of

such successor trustee relates.

shall execute any and all instruments for more fully and

certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all

such rights, powers and trusts referred to in paragraph (a) or

(b) of this Section, as the case may be.

(d) No successor trustee shall accept its appointment unless

at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be

qualified and eligible under this Article.

(e) Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as

provided in this Section, the Company shall transmit notice of

the succession of such trustee hereunder by mail, first class

postage prepaid, to the Securityholders, as their names and

addresses appear upon the Security Register. If the Company fails

to transmit such notice within ten days after acceptance of

appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall

cause such notice to be transmitted at the expense of the

Company.

SECTION 7.12. 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. In case any Securities shall have

been authenticated, but not delivered, by the Trustee then in

office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to

such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and

deliver the Securities so authenticated with the same effect as

if such successor Trustee had itself authenticated such

Securities.

SECTION 7.13. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection

(b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a

creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the

Company within three months prior to a default, as defined in

subsection (c) of this Section, or subsequent to such a default,

then, unless and until such default shall be cured, the Trustee

shall set apart and hold in a special account for the benefit of

the Trustee individually, the holders of the Securities and the

holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection

(1) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount

due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of

principal or interest, effected after the beginning of such three

months' period and valid as against the Company and its other

creditors, except any such reduction resulting from the receipt

or disposition of any property described in paragraph (2) of this

subsection, or from the exercise of any right of set-off which

the Trustee could have exercised if a petition in bankruptcy had

been filed by or against the Company upon the date of such

default; and

(2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any

claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in

satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the

beginning of such three months' period, or an amount equal to the

proceeds of any such property, if disposed of, subject, however,

to the rights, if any, of the Company and its other creditors in

such property or such proceeds.

Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of

the Trustee

(A) to retain for its own account (i) payments made on

account of any such claim by any person (other than the Company)

who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide

sale of any such claim by the Trustee to a third person, and

(iii) distributions made in cash, securities, or other property

in respect of claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or

receivership or in a case for reorganization pursuant to the

Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law;

(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property held

by it as security for any such claim, if such property was so

held prior to the beginning of such three months' period;

extent of the claim hereinafter mentioned, upon any property held

by it as security for any such claim, if such claim was created

after the beginning of such three months' period and such

property was received as security therefor simultaneously with

the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the burden

of proving that at the time such property was so received the

Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a default, as

defined in subsection (c) of this Section, would occur within

three months; or

(D) to receive payment on any claim referred to in paragraph

(B) or (C), against the release of any property held as security

for such claim as provided in such paragraph (B) or (C), as the

case may be, to the extent of the fair value of such property.

For the purposes of paragraphs (B), (C) and (D), property

substituted after the beginning of such three months' period for

property held as security at the time of such substitution shall,

to the extent of the fair value of the property released, have

the same status as the property released, and, to the extent that

any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in

renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying

or refunding any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such

creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such pre-

existing claim.

If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and

property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof

shall be apportioned between the Trustee, the Securityholders and

the holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the

Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture

securities realize, as a result of payments from such special

account and payments of dividends on claims filed against the

Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for

reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or

applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective

claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee

anything on account of the receipt by it from the Company of the

funds and property in such special account and before crediting

to the respective claims of the Trustee, the Securityholders and

the holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims

filed against the Company in

bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization

pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law,

but after crediting thereon receipts on account of the

indebtedness represented by their respective claims from all

sources other than from such dividends and from the funds and

property so held in such special account. As used in this

paragraph, with respect to any claim, the term "dividends" shall

include any distribution with respect to such claim, in

bankruptcy or receivership or in a case for reorganization

pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Code or applicable State law,

whether such distribution is made in cash, securities, or other

property, but shall not include any such distribution with

respect to the secured portion, if any, of such claim. The court

in which such bankruptcy, receivership or a case for

reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to

apportion between the Trustee, the Securityholders and the

holders of other indenture securities, in accordance with the

provisions of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such

special account and the proceeds thereof, or (ii) in lieu of such

apportionment, in whole or in part, to give to the provisions of

this paragraph due consideration in determining the fairness of

the distributions to be made to the Trustee, the Securityholders

and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to

their respective claims, in which event it shall not be necessary

to liquidate or to appraise the value of any securities or other

property held in such special account or as security for any such

claim, or to make a specific allocation of such distributions as

between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or

otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a

mathematical formula.

Any Trustee who has resigned or been removed after the

beginning of such three months' period shall be subject to the

provisions of this subsection (a) as though such resignation or

removal had not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been

removed prior to the beginning of such three months' period, it

shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection (a) if and

only if the following conditions exist:

(i) the receipt of property or reduction of claim which

would have given rise to the obligation to account, if such

Trustee had continued as trustee, occurred after the beginning of

such three months' period; and

(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred

within three months after such resignation or removal.

(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection

(a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from

(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under

any indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of

one year or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;

(2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy

court of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the

purpose of preserving any property other than cash which shall at

any time be subject to the lien, if any, of this Indenture or of

discharging tax liens or other prior liens or encumbrances

thereon, if notice of such advance and of the circumstances

surrounding the making thereof is given to the Securityholders at

the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture;

(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in

the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent,

registrar, custodian, paying agent, subscription agent, fiscal

agent or depositary, or other similar capacity;

(4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered

or premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of

goods or securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in

subsection (c) of this Section;

(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a

Company organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the

Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly

a creditor of the Company; or

(6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of

any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which

fall within the classification of self-liquidating paper as

defined in subsection (c) of this Section.

(1) The term "default" shall mean any failure to make

payment in full of the principal of (or premium, if any) or

interest upon any of the Securities or upon the other indenture

securities when and as such principal (or premium, if any) or

interest becomes due and payable.

(2) The term "other indenture securities" shall mean

securities upon which the Company is an obligor (as defined in

the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended) outstanding under

any other indenture (A) under which the Trustee is also trustee,

(B) which contains provisions substantially similar to the

provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, and (C) under which

a default exists at the time of the apportionment of the funds

and property held in said special account.

(3) The term "cash transaction" shall mean any transaction

in which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within

seven days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency

or in checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and

payable upon demand.

(4) The term "self-liquidating paper" shall mean any draft,

xxxx of exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn,

negotiated or incurred by the Company for the purpose of

financing the purchase, processing, manufacture, shipment,

storage or sale of goods, wares or merchandise and which is

secured by documents evidencing title to, possession of, or a

lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the receivables or

proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or merchandise

previously constituting the security, provided the security is

received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the

creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,

drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, xxxx of exchange,

acceptance or obligation.

(5) The term "Company" shall mean any obligor upon any of

the Securities.

ARTICLE EIGHT

Concerning the Securityholders

SECTION 8.01. Whenever in this Indenture it is provided that

the holders of a majority or specified percentage in aggregate

principal amount of the Securities of a particular 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 majority or specified percentage of

that series have joined therein may be evidenced by any

instrument or any number of instruments of similar tenor executed

by such holders of Securities of that series in person or by

agent or proxy appointed in writing.

If the Company shall solicit from the Securityholders of any

series any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,

consent, waiver or other action, the Company may, at its option,

as evidenced by an Officers' Certificate, fix in advance a record

date for such series for the determination of Securityholders

entitled to give such request, demand, authorization, direction,

notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the Company shall

have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such

request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,

waiver or other action may be given before or after the record

date, but only the Securityholders of record at the close of

business on the record date shall be deemed to be Securityholders

for the purposes of determining whether Securityholders of the

requisite proportion of outstanding Securities of that series

have authorized or agreed or consented to such request, demand,

authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other

action, and for that purpose the outstanding Securities of that

series shall be computed as of the record date; provided that no

such authorization, agreement or consent by such Securityholders

on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall

become effective pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not

later than six months after the record date.

SECTION 8.02. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01,

proof of the execution of any instrument by a Securityholder

(such proof will not require notarization) or his agent or proxy

and proof of the holding by any person of any of the Securities

shall be sufficient if made in the following manner:

(a) The fact and date of the execution by any such person of

any instrument may be proved in any reasonable manner acceptable

to the Trustee.

(b) The ownership of Securities shall be proved by the

Security Register of such Securities or by a certificate of the

Security Registrar thereof.

matter referred to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

SECTION 8.03. Prior to the due presentment for registration

of transfer of any Security, the Company, the Trustee, any paying

agent and any Security Registrar may deem and treat the person in

whose name such Security shall be registered upon the books of

the Company as the absolute owner of such Security (whether or

not such Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice

of ownership or writing thereon made by anyone other than the

Security Registrar) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on

account of the principal of, premium, if any, and (subject to

Section 2.03) interest on such Security and for all other

purposes; and neither the Company nor the Trustee nor any paying

agent nor any Security Registrar shall be affected by any notice

to the contrary.

SECTION 8.04. In determining whether the holders of the

requisite aggregate principal amount of Securities of a

particular series have concurred in any direction, consent or

waiver under this Indenture, Securities of that series which are

owned by the Company or any other obligor on the Securities of

that series or by any person directly or indirectly controlling

or controlled by or under common control with the Company or any

other obligor on the Securities of that series 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 of such

series which the Trustee actually knows are so owned shall be so

disregarded. Securities so owned which 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 so to act with respect to 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 Company or any such other

obligor. In 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. At any time prior to (but not after) the

evidencing to the Trustee, as provided in Section 8.01, of the

taking of any action by the holders of the majority or percentage

in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular

series specified in this Indenture in connection with such

action, any holder of a Security of that series 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, 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 therefor, on registration of

transfer thereof or in place thereof, irrespective of whether or

not any notation in regard thereto is made upon such Security.

Any action taken by the holders of the majority or percentage in

aggregate principal amount of the Securities of a particular

series specified in this Indenture in connection with such action

shall be conclusively binding upon the Company, the Trustee and

the holders of all the Securities of that series.

ARTICLE NINE

Supplemental Indentures

SECTION 9.01. In addition to any supplemental indenture

otherwise authorized by this Indenture, the Company, when

authorized by a Board Resolution, and the Trustee may from time

to time and at any time enter into an indenture or indentures

supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the

Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as then in effect), without the

consent of the Securityholders, for one or more of the following

purposes:

(a) to evidence the succession of another corporation to the

Company, and the assumption by any such successor of the

covenants of the Company contained herein or otherwise

established with respect to the Securities; or

(b) to add to the covenants of the Company such further

covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the

protection of the holders of the Securities of all or any series

as the Board of Directors and the Trustee shall consider to be

for the protection of the holders of Securities of all or any

series, and to make the occurrence, or the occurrence and

continuance, of a default in any of such additional covenants,

restrictions, conditions or provisions a default or an Event of

Default with respect to such series permitting the enforcement of

all or any of the several remedies provided in this Indenture as

herein set forth; provided, however, that in respect of any such

additional covenant, restriction, condition or provision such

supplemental indenture may provide for a particular period of

grace after default (which period may be shorter or longer than

that allowed in the case of other defaults) or may provide for an

immediate enforcement upon such default or may limit the remedies

available to the Trustee upon such default or may limit the right

of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the

Securities of such series to waive such default; or

provision contained herein or in any supplemental indenture which

may be defective or inconsistent with any other provision

contained herein or in any supplemental indenture, or to make

such other provisions in regard to matters or questions arising

under this Indenture as shall not be inconsistent with the

provisions of this Indenture and shall not adversely affect the

interests of the holders of the Securities of any series; or

(d) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this

Indenture, provided that any such change or elimination shall

become effective only when there is no Security outstanding of

any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental

indenture which is entitled to the benefit of such provision.

The Trustee is hereby authorized to join with the Company in

the execution of any such supplemental indenture, and to make any

further appropriate agreements and stipulations which may be

therein contained, but the Trustee shall not be obligated to

enter into any such supplemental indenture which affects the

Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Indenture

or otherwise.

Any supplemental indenture authorized by the provisions of

this Section may be executed by the Company and the Trustee

without the consent of the holders of any of the Securities at

the time outstanding, notwithstanding any of the provisions of

Section 9.02.

SECTION 9.02. With the consent (evidenced as provided in

Section 8.01) of the holders of not less than a majority in

aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each series

affected by such supplemental indenture or indentures at the time

outstanding, the Company, when authorized by a Board Resolution,

and the Trustee may from time to time and at any time enter into

an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto (which shall

conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939 as

then in effect) for the purpose of adding any provisions to or

changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of

this Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of modifying

in any manner the rights of the holders of the Securities of such

series under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such

supplemental indenture shall (i) extend the fixed maturity of any

Securities of any series, or reduce the principal amount thereof,

or reduce the rate or

extend the time of payment of interest thereon, or reduce any

premium payable upon the redemption thereof, without the consent

of the holder of each Security so affected, or (ii) reduce the

aforesaid percentage of Securities, the holders of which are

required to consent to any such supplemental indenture, without

the consent of the holders of each Security then outstanding and

affected thereby.

Upon the request of the Company, accompanied by a Board

Resolution authorizing the execution of any such supplemental

indenture, and upon the filing with the Trustee of evidence of

the consent of Securityholders required to consent thereto as

aforesaid, the Trustee shall join with the Company in the

execution of such supplemental indenture unless such supplemental

indenture affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities

under this Indenture or otherwise, in which case the Trustee may

in its discretion but shall not be obligated to enter into such

supplemental indenture.

It shall not be necessary for the consent of the

Securityholders of any series affected thereby under this Section

to approve the particular form of any proposed supplemental

indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall

approve the substance thereof.

Promptly after the execution by the Company and the Trustee

of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions of this

Section, the Trustee shall transmit by mail, first class postage

prepaid, a notice, setting forth in general terms the substance

of such supplemental indenture, to the Securityholders of all

series affected thereby as their names and addresses appear upon

the Security Register. Any failure of the Trustee to mail such

notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way

impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

SECTION 9.03. Upon the execution of any supplemental

indenture pursuant to the provisions of this Article or of

Section 10.01, this Indenture shall, with respect to such series,

be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance

therewith and the respective rights, limitations of rights,

obligations, duties and immunities under this Indenture of the

Trustee, the Company and the holders of Securities of the series

affected thereby shall thereafter be determined, exercised and

enforced hereunder subject in all respects to such modifications

and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of any such

supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the

terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

SECTION 9.04. Securities of any series, affected by a

supplemental indenture, authenticated and delivered after the

execution of such supplemental indenture pursuant to the

provisions of this Article or of Section 10.01, may bear a

notation in form approved by the Company, provided such form

meets the requirements of any exchange upon which such series may

be listed, as to any matter provided for in such supplemental

indenture. If the Company shall so determine, new Securities of

that series so modified as to conform, in the opinion of the

Board of Directors, to any modification of this Indenture

contained in any such supplemental indenture may be prepared by

the Company, authenticated by the Trustee and delivered in

exchange for the Securities of that series then outstanding.

SECTION 9.05. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of

Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive

evidence that any supplemental indenture executed pursuant to

this Article is authorized or permitted by, and conforms to, the

terms of this Article and that it is proper for the Trustee under

the provisions of this Article to join in the execution thereof.

ARTICLE TEN

Consolidation, Merger and Sale

SECTION 10.01. Nothing contained in this Indenture or in any

of the Securities shall prevent any consolidation or merger of

the Company with or into any other corporation or corporations

(whether or not affiliated with the Company), or successive

consolidations or mergers in which the Company or its successor

or successors shall be a party or parties, or shall prevent any

sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition of the property

of the Company or its successor or successors as an entirety, or

substantially as an entirety, to any other corporation (whether

or not affiliated with the Company or its successor or

successors) authorized to acquire and operate the same; provided,

however, the Company hereby covenants and agrees that, upon any

such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other

disposition, the due and punctual payment of the principal of

(premium, if any) and interest on all of the Securities of all

series in accordance with the terms of each series, according to

their tenor, and the due and punctual performance and observance

of all the covenants and conditions of this Indenture with

respect to each series or established with respect to such series

pursuant to Section 2.01 to be kept or performed by the Company,

shall be expressly assumed, by supplemental indenture (which

shall conform to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act of

1939 as then in effect) satisfactory in form to the Trustee

executed and delivered to the Trustee by the Company formed by

such consolidation, or into which the Company shall have been

merged, or by the corporation which shall have acquired such

property.

SECTION 10.02. (a) In case of any such consolidation,

merger, sale, conveyance, transfer or other disposition and upon

the assumption by the successor corporation, by supplemental

indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee and satisfactory

in form to the Trustee, of the due and punctual payment of the

principal of, premium, if any, and interest on all of the

Securities of all series outstanding and the due and punctual

performance of all of the covenants and conditions of this

Indenture or established with respect to each series of the

Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 to be performed by the

Company with respect to each series, such successor corporation

shall succeed to and be substituted for the Company, with the

same effect as if it had been named herein as the party of the

first part, and thereupon the predecessor corporation shall be

relieved of all obligations and covenants under this Indenture

and the Securities. Such successor corporation thereupon may

cause to be signed, and may issue either in its own name or in

the name of the Company or any other predecessor obligor on the

Securities, any or all of the Securities issuable hereunder which

theretofore shall not have been signed by the Company and

delivered to the Trustee; and, upon the order of such successor

company, instead of the Company, and subject to all the terms,

conditions and limitations in this Indenture prescribed, the

Trustee shall authenticate and shall deliver any Securities which

previously shall have been signed and delivered by the officers

of the predecessor Company to the Trustee for authentication, and

any Securities which such successor corporation thereafter shall

cause to be signed and delivered to the Trustee for that purpose.

All the Securities so issued shall in all respects have the same

legal rank and benefit under this Indenture as the Securities

theretofore or thereafter issued in accordance with the terms of

this Indenture as though all of such Securities had been issued

at the date of the execution hereof.

(b) In case of any such consolidation, merger, sale,

conveyance, transfer or other disposition such changes in

phraseology and form (but not in substance) may be made in the

Securities thereafter to be issued as may be appropriate.

Securities shall prevent the Company from merging into itself or

acquiring by purchase or otherwise all or any part of the

property of any other corporation (whether or not affiliated with

the Company).

SECTION 10.03. The Trustee, subject to the provisions of

Section 7.01, may receive an Opinion of Counsel as conclusive

evidence that any such consolidation, merger, sale, conveyance,

transfer or other disposition, and any such assumption, comply

with the provisions of this Article.

ARTICLE ELEVEN

Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture;

Unclaimed Moneys

SECTION 11.01. If at any time: (a) the Company shall have

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation all Securities of a

series theretofore authenticated (other than any Securities which

shall have been destroyed, lost or stolen and which shall have

been replaced or paid as provided in Section 2.07) and Securities

for whose payment money or Governmental Obligations has

theretofore been deposited in trust or segregated and held in

trust by the Company (and thereupon repaid to the Company or

discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 11.05); (b)

all such Securities of a particular series not theretofore

delivered to the Trustee for cancellation shall have become due

and payable, or are by their terms to become due and payable

within one year or are to be called for redemption within one

year under arrangements satisfactory to the Trustee for the

giving of notice of redemption, and the Company shall deposit or

cause to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds the entire

amount in moneys or Governmental Obligations sufficient; or (c) a

combination thereof, sufficient, without reinvestment, in the

opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public

accountants expressed in a written certification thereof

delivered to the Trustee, to pay at maturity or upon redemption

all Securities of that series not theretofore delivered to the

Trustee for cancellation, including principal (and premium, if

any) and interest due or to become due to such date of maturity

or date fixed for redemption, as the case may be, and if the

Company shall also pay or cause to be paid all other sums payable

hereunder with respect to such series by the Company, then this

Indenture shall thereupon cease to be of further effect with

respect to such series except for the provisions of Sections

2.05, 2.07, 4.02 and 7.10, which shall survive until the date of

maturity or redemption date, as the case may be, and Sections

7.06 and 11.05 which shall survive to such date and thereafter,

and the Trustee, on demand of the Company and at the cost and

expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments

acknowledging satisfaction of and discharging this Indenture with

respect to such series.

SECTION 11.02. If at any time all such Securities of a

particular series not heretofore delivered to the Trustee for

cancellation or which have not become due and payable as

described in Section 11.01 shall have been paid by the Company by

depositing irrevocably with the Trustee as trust funds moneys or

an amount of Governmental Obligations sufficient to pay at

maturity or upon redemption all such Securities of that series

not theretofore delivered to the Trustee for cancellation,

including principal (and premium, if any) and interest due or to

become due to such date of maturity or date fixed for redemption,

as the case may be, and if the Company shall also pay or cause to

be paid all other sums payable hereunder by the Company with

respect to such series, then after the date such moneys or

Governmental Obligations, as the case may be, are deposited with

the Trustee the obligations of the Company under this Indenture

with respect to such series shall cease to be of further effect

except for the provisions of Sections 2.05, 2.07, 4.02, 7.06,

7.10 and 11.05 hereof which shall survive until such Securities

shall mature and be paid. Thereafter, Sections 7.06 and 11.05

shall survive.

SECTION 11.03. All moneys or Governmental Obligations

deposited with the Trustee pursuant to Sections 11.01 or 11.02

shall be held in trust and shall be available for payment as due,

either directly or through any paying agent (including the

Company acting as its own paying agent), to the holders of the

particular series of Securities for the payment or redemption of

which such moneys or Governmental Obligations have been deposited

with the Trustee.

SECTION 11.04. In connection with the satisfaction and

discharge of this Indenture all moneys or Governmental

Obligations then held by any paying agent under the provisions of

this Indenture shall, upon demand of the Company, be paid to the

Trustee and thereupon such paying agent shall be released from

all further liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental

Obligations.

SECTION 11.05. Any moneys or Governmental Obligations

deposited with any paying agent or the Trustee, or then held by

the Company, in trust for payment of principal of or premium or

interest on the Securities of a particular series that are not

applied but remain unclaimed by the holders of such Securities

for at least two years after the date upon which the principal of

(and premium, if any) or interest on such Securities shall have

respectively become due and payable, shall be repaid to the

Company on May 31 of each year or (if then held by the Company)

shall be discharged from such trust; and thereupon the paying

agent and the Trustee shall be released from all further

liability with respect to such moneys or Governmental

Obligations, and the holder of any of the Securities entitled to

receive such payment shall thereafter, as an unsecured general

creditor, look only to the Company for the payment thereof.

any predecessor or successor corporation, either directly or

through the Company or any such predecessor or successor

corporation, whether by virtue of any constitution, statute or
