In authenticating such Securities and accepting the additional responsibilities under this Indenture in relation to such Securities and except as hereinafter provided with respect to a Series of Securities subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon:

(1) each Certified Resolution relating to such Series of Securities,

(2) an executed Supplemental Indenture, if any, relating to such Series of Securities,

(3) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that:

(a) the terms and form of such Securities have been established as permitted by Sections 2.01 and 2.02 in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture;

(b) such Securities, when executed and issued by the Company and authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as any rights thereunder may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally; the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; the effect of applicable court decisions invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a borrower, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is necessary for the protection of the creditor, or which have held that the creditor’s enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would have violated the creditor’s covenants of good faith and fair dealing implied under California law; and the effect of California statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived prospectively by a borrower, and

(c) the Company has complied with all applicable Federal laws and requirements in respect of the execution and delivery of such Securities.

With respect to a Series of Securities subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and, subject to Section 7.01, shall be fully protected in relying upon the documents described in the foregoing subsections (1), (2) and (3) of this Section 2.01(B); provided, that (i) the Certified Resolution may be delivered to the Trustee prior to the delivery to the Trustee of such Securities for authentication and delivery, (ii) the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver Securities of such Series for original issue from time to time, in an aggregate principal amount not exceeding the aggregate principal amount, if any, established for such Series, pursuant to such Certified Resolution or pursuant to such procedures as may be specified from time to time by a Certified Resolution, (iii) the maturity date or dates, original issue date or dates, interest rate or rates or the method or methods of calculating such and any other terms of the

Securities of such Series shall be determined by the Certified Resolution or pursuant to such procedures, (iv) if provided for in such procedures, such Certified Resolution may authorize authentication and delivery pursuant to oral or electronic instructions from the Company or its duly authorized agent or agents, which oral instructions shall be promptly confirmed in writing and (v) the Trustee shall be entitled to receive an Opinion of Counsel only once at or prior to the time of the first authentication of Securities of such Series and that the opinions described in the foregoing subsections (a) and (b) of this Section 2.01 may be to the effect that:

(x) the form of the Securities of such Series has been duly authorized by the Company and has been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and that, when the terms of such Securities shall have been established pursuant to a Certified Resolution or pursuant to such procedures as may be specified from time to time by a Certified Resolution, such terms will have been duly authorized by the Company and will have been established in conformity with the provisions of this Indenture and

(y) Securities of such Series, when executed and issued by the Company and completed, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and subject to any conditions specified in such Opinion of Counsel and when paid for, all as contemplated by and in accordance with the Certified Resolution or specified procedures, as the case may be, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Company, except as any rights thereunder may be limited by the effect of bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, conservatorship, arrangement, moratorium or other laws affecting or relating to the rights of creditors generally; the rules governing the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and general principles of equity, regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity or at law; the effect of applicable court decisions invoking statutes or principles of equity, which have held that certain covenants and provisions of agreements are unenforceable where the breach of such covenants or provisions imposes restrictions or burdens upon a borrower, and it cannot be demonstrated that the enforcement of such restrictions or burdens is necessary for the protection of the creditor, or which have held that the creditor’s enforcement of such covenants or provisions under the circumstances would have violated the creditor’s covenants of good faith and fair dealing implied under California law; and the effect of California statutes and rules of law which cannot be waived prospectively by a borrower.

With respect to Securities of a Series offered in a Periodic Offering, the Trustee may rely, as to the authorization by the Company of any such Securities, the form and terms thereof and the valid and binding effect thereof, upon the Opinion of Counsel and other documents delivered pursuant to this Section 2.01 in connection with the first authentication of Securities of such Series unless and until such Opinion of Counsel or other documents shall have been superseded or revoked. In connection with the authentication and delivery of Securities of a Series subject to a Periodic Offering, the Trustee shall be entitled to assume that the instructions of the Company to authenticate and deliver such Securities do not violate any rules, regulations or orders of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the Company.

Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

Section 2.02 Form of Securities and Trustee’s Certificate of Authentication. The Securities of each Series shall be substantially of the tenor and purport as shall be authorized by the related Certified Resolution or Supplemental Indenture, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other marks of identification or designation and such legends or endorsements thereon as the Board of Directors of 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 the Securities of such Series may be listed, or to conform to usage.

The definitive Securities and each Global Security may be printed, lithographed or fully or partly engraved or produced in any other manner, all as determined by the officers executing such Securities, as evidenced by their executions thereof.

The Trustee’s certificate of authentication shall be in substantially the following form:

TRUSTEE’S CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICATION

This is one of the Securities, of the Series designated herein, referred to in the within-mentioned Indenture.


JPMorgan Chase Bank, as Trustee

By
		Authorized Officer

Section 2.03 Denominations; Payment of Interest on Securities. The Securities of each Series shall be issued as fully registered Securities without coupons (including as one or more Global Securities) and in denominations all as shall be specified as contemplated by Section 2.01. In the absence of such provisions with respect to the Securities of any Series, the Securities of such Series (other than any Global Securities) shall be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.

If the Securities of any Series shall bear interest, each Security of such Series shall bear interest from the applicable date at the rate per annum specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Indenture with respect to such Series of Securities. Unless otherwise specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Indenture with respect to the Securities of any Series, interest on the Securities of such Series shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months. Such interest shall be payable on the Interest Payment Dates, specified in the Certified Resolution or Supplemental Indenture with respect to such Series of Securities. The Person in whose name any Security is registered at the close of business on any applicable Record Date for the Series of which such Security is a part shall be entitled to receive the interest payable thereon on such Interest Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Security upon any transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date unless such Security shall have been called for redemption on a Redemption Date which is subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such Interest Payment Date or unless the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such Interest Payment Date on any Security of such Series.

Any interest on any Security of any Series which is payable, but is not punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date (herein called “Defaulted Interest”) shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on the relevant Record Date solely by virtue of such Holder having been such Holder; and such Defaulted Interest may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in subsection A or B below:

A. The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any Series to the Persons in whose names such 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 Security and the date of the proposed payment (which date shall be such as will enable the Trustee to comply with the next sentence hereof), 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 subsection provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a special record date (the “Special Record Date”) for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall be not more than 15 nor less than 10 days prior to the date of the proposed payment and not less than 10 days after the receipt by the Trustee of the notice of the proposed payment. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company of such Special Record Date and, in the name and at the expense of the Company, shall cause notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor to be mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to each Holder of a Security of such Series at such Holder’s address as it appears in the Security Register not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date. Notice of the proposed payment of such Defaulted Interest and the Special Record Date therefor having been mailed as aforesaid, such Defaulted Interest shall be paid to the Persons in whose names the Securities of such Series are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no longer be payable pursuant to the following Subsection B.

B. The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest on the Securities of any Series 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 Subsection, such payment shall be deemed practicable by the Trustee.

Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.03, each Security delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry all the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Security and each such Security shall bear interest from such date, such that neither gain nor loss in interest shall result from such transfer, exchange or substitution.

Section 2.04 Execution of Securities. The Securities shall be executed manually or in facsimile, by an officer and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company under its corporate seal, which may be affixed thereto or printed, engraved or otherwise reproduced thereon, by facsimile or otherwise. Only such Securities as shall bear thereon a certificate of authentication substantially in the form recited herein, executed by the Trustee manually by an authorized officer, shall be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture or of the Guarantee or be valid or obligatory for any purpose. Such certificate of authentication of the Trustee 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. Typographical or other errors or defects in the seal or facsimile signature on any Security or in the text thereof shall not affect the validity or enforceability of such Security if it has been duly authenticated and delivered by the Trustee.

In case any officer of the Company who shall have signed any of the Securities (manually or in facsimile), shall cease to be such officer before the Securities so signed shall have been authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, or disposed of by the Company or the Guarantor, such Securities nevertheless may be authenticated and delivered or disposed of as though the Person who signed such Securities had not ceased to be such officer of the Company. Also, any Security may be signed on behalf of the Company by such Persons as on the actual date of execution of such Security shall be the proper officers of the Company, although at the date of the execution of this Indenture any such Person was not such officer.

Section 2.05 Registration, Transfer and Exchange of Securities. Except as specifically otherwise provided herein with respect to Global Securities, Securities of any Series may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of Securities of the same Series of other authorized denominations. Securities to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the offices or agencies to be maintained in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 and the Company shall execute the Security or Securities, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor the Security or Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange shall be entitled to receive.

The Company shall keep or cause to be kept, at one or more of the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 11.02 with respect to the Securities of each Series, the Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of the Securities of such Series and the transfer of Securities of such Series as in this Article provided. The Register shall be in written form or in any other form capable of being converted into written form within a reasonable time. At all reasonable times the Register shall be open for inspection by the Trustee and any registrar of the Securities of such Series other than the Trustee. Upon due presentment for transfer of any Security of any Series at the offices or agencies of the Company to be maintained in accordance with Section 11.02 with respect to the Securities of such Series, the Company shall execute a new Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in the name of the transferee or transferees a new Security or Securities of the same Series for a like aggregate principal amount of authorized denominations.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2.05, unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, a Global Security representing all or a portion of the Securities of a Series may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository for such Series to a nominee of such Depository or by a nominee of such Depository to such Depository or another nominee of such Depository or by such Depository or any such nominee to a successor Depository for such Series or a nominee of such successor Depository.

All Securities of any Series presented or surrendered for exchange, transfer, redemption, conversion or payment shall, if so required by the Company or any registrar of the Securities of such Series, be accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer, in form satisfactory to the Company and such registrar, duly executed by the registered Holder or by such Person’s attorney duly authorized in writing.

No service charge shall be made for any exchange or registration of transfer of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto.

The Company shall not be required to exchange or transfer (a) any Securities of any Series during a period beginning at the opening of business 15 days before the day of the first publication or the mailing (if there is no publication) of a notice of redemption of Securities of such Series and ending at the close of business on the day of such publication or mailing or (b) any Securities called or selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of Securities called for redemption in part, the portion thereof not so called for redemption in whole or in part, during a period beginning at the opening of business on any Record Date for such Series and ending at the close of business on the relevant Interest Payment Date therefor.

Section 2.06 Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of definitive Securities of any Series, the Company may execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver temporary Securities of such Series which are printed, lithographed, typewritten or otherwise produced, in any denomination substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of which they are issued, in registered form and with such appropriate omissions, insertions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities. Every such temporary Security shall be authenticated by the Trustee upon the same conditions and in substantially the same manner, and with the same effect, as the definitive Securities. If temporary Securities are issued, the Company will cause definitive Securities to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the temporary Securities of such Series shall be exchangeable for definitive Securities upon surrender of the temporary Securities without charge to the Holder at the offices or agencies to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section 11.02 with respect to the Securities of such Series. Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and 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 any Series shall in all respects be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture and

interest thereon, when and as payable, shall be paid to the owners of the temporary Securities upon presentation thereof for notation of such payment thereon.

Section 2.07 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Securities. If (i) any mutilated Security is surrendered to the Trustee, or the Company and the Trustee receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Security, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Company or the Trustee that such Security has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Company shall execute and upon its request the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same Series and of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously Outstanding.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become or is about to become due and payable, the Company in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.07, 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 connected therewith.

Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 2.07 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security, shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the security and benefits of this Indenture equally and ratably with all other Outstanding Securities of such Series.

The provisions of this Section 2.07 are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities.

Section 2.08 Cancellation and Destruction of Surrendered Securities. All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange shall, if surrendered to the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee or any agent of the Company, the Guarantor or of the Trustee, be delivered to the Trustee, and the same, together with Securities surrendered to the Trustee for cancellation, shall be canceled by it, and thereafter disposed by it as directed by the Company and no Securities shall be issued in lieu thereof except as expressly permitted by any of the provisions of this Indenture. The Trustee shall destroy canceled Securities and deliver a certificate of destruction thereof to the Company and the Guarantor unless by an Officer’s Certificate of the Company, the Company shall direct that canceled Securities be returned to it. If the Company shall purchase or otherwise acquire any of the Securities, however, such purchase or acquisition shall not operate as a payment, redemption or satisfaction of the indebtedness represented by such Securities unless and until the Company, or the Guarantor, at their respective options, shall deliver or surrender the same to the Trustee for cancellation.

Section 2.09 Securities in Global Form; Depositories. (a) Each Global Security shall: (i) represent and be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of the Series to be represented by such Global Security, (ii) be registered in the name of either the Depository for such Global Security or the nominee of such Depository, (iii) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depository or pursuant to such Depository’s written instruction and (iv) bear a legend substantially to the following effect: “Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for Securities in definitive form, this Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depository to a nominee of the Depository or by a nominee of the Depository to the Depository or another nominee of the Depository or by the Depository or any nominee to a successor Depository or a nominee of any successor Depository.” The notation of the record owner’s interest in such Global Security upon the original issuance thereof shall be deemed to be delivered in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner’s interest in such Global Security. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company, the

Guarantor and the Trustee shall have no responsibility, obligation or liability with respect to: (x) the maintenance, review or accuracy of the records of the Depository or of any of its participating organizations with respect to any ownership interest in or payments with respect to such Global Security, (y) any communication with or delivery of any notice (including notices of redemption) with respect to the Series of Securities represented by the Global Security to any Person having any ownership interest in such Global Security or to any of the Depository’s participating organizations or (z) any payment made on account of any beneficial ownership interest in such Global Security.

(b) If any Security of a Series is issuable in the form of a Global Security or Securities, each such Global Security may provide that it shall represent the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such Series from time to time endorsed thereon and may also provide that the aggregate amount of Outstanding Securities of such Series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of Outstanding Securities of a Series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee and in such manner as shall be specified on such Global Security. Any instructions by the Company with respect to a Global Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 14.03 of this Indenture.

(c) Each Depository designated pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.01 of this Indenture for a Global Security must, at the time of its designation and at all times while it serves as a depository, be a clearing agency registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and any other applicable statute or regulation. If at any time the Depository for the Securities of a Series notifies the Company that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depository for the Securities of such Series or if at any time the Depository for the Securities of such Series shall no longer be eligible under this Section 2.09, the Company shall appoint a successor Depository with respect to the Securities of such Series. If a successor Depository for the Securities of such Series is not appointed by the Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or learns of such ineligibility, the Company shall execute and the Company shall direct the Trustee to authenticate and deliver definitive Securities of such Series in authorized denominations in exchange for the Global Security or Securities. Upon receipt of such direction, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver the definitive Securities of such Series in the same aggregate principal amount as the Global Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.09, without any further corporate action by the Company or the Guarantor.

(d) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion determine that the Securities of any Series issued in the form of one or more Global Securities shall no longer be represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event, the Company will execute and upon receipt of a written order from the Company, the Trustee shall thereupon authenticate and deliver Securities of such Series in definitive form and in authorized denominations in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the Global Security or Securities representing such Series in exchange for such Global Security or Securities, in accordance with the provisions of subsection (e) of this Section 2.09 without any further corporate action by the Company or the Guarantor.

(e) Upon any exchange hereunder of the Global Security or Securities for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security or Securities shall be canceled by the Trustee. Securities issued hereunder in exchange for the Global Security or Securities shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depository for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such definitive Securities in exchange for the Global Security or Securities to the Persons in whose name such definitive Securities have been registered in accordance with the directions of the Depository.

ARTICLE THREE

REDEMPTION OF SECURITIES

Section 3.01 Redemption of Securities. Securities of any Series may be made subject to redemption prior to their Stated Maturity, as a whole or in part, at such time or times, upon payment of the

principal amount thereof plus such premium or premiums, if any, as shall be set forth in the Certified Resolution or the Supplemental Indenture relating to such Series.

Section 3.02 Notice of Redemption. In all cases other than redemption at the option of the Holders of Securities, notice of redemption shall be mailed, not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each Person in whose name any Security called for redemption is registered on the Register as of the date of such notice, but neither a failure to give notice by mail nor any defect in any notice so mailed shall affect the validity of the proceedings for such redemption. Each notice of redemption shall state the Redemption Date, the Redemption Price, the place of redemption, the principal amount and, if less than all, the distinctive numbers of the Securities to be redeemed and shall also state that the interest on the Securities in such notice designated for redemption shall cease to accrue from and after such Redemption Date.

Notice of redemption of Securities may be given by the Company, or at the option of the Company, by the Trustee on behalf of the Company. Upon receipt of any direction to give notice, the Trustee shall immediately give such notice. The Trustee may rely upon such direction that all conditions precedent to the giving of such direction have been complied with or done.

Section 3.03 Selection of Securities for Redemption. Whenever provision is made for the redemption of any Series of Securities or portion thereof and less than all of the Securities of such Series or portion thereof are called for redemption, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed, from the Outstanding Securities of such Series or portion thereof not previously called for redemption, in any manner which the Trustee deems fair and appropriate. For the purpose of any such selection, the Trustee shall assign a separate number for each $1,000 principal amount of each Security of a denomination of more than $1,000, except that if the Securities of any Series are denominated in a currency other than United States Dollars, the Trustee shall assign a separate number for each amount equal to the minimum denomination of each Security of such Series of a denomination greater than such minimum denomination.

Section 3.04 Partial Redemption of Registered Security. Upon surrender of any registered Security (including any Global Security) to be redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the registered owner thereof, without service charge, a new Security or Securities (or in the case of a Global Security, a new Global Security) of the same Series and maturity and of authorized denomination or denominations as requested by such registered owners, in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the Security so surrendered.

Section 3.05 Effect of Redemption. If notice of redemption shall have been duly given as provided in Section 3.02, the Securities or portions of Securities specified in such notice shall become due and payable on the Redemption Date and at the place or places stated in such notice at the Redemption Price specified in such notice, and on and after such Redemption Date (unless the Company and the Guarantor shall default in the payment of such Securities at the applicable Redemption Price) such Securities or portions of Securities shall cease to bear interest, and such Securities shall cease from and after the Redemption Date to be entitled to any benefit or security under this Indenture, and the Holders thereof shall have no right in respect of such Securities except the right to receive the Redemption Price thereof and any unpaid interest accrued to the Redemption Date. Upon presentation and surrender of such Securities at said place of payment in said notice specified, the said Securities or portions thereof shall be paid and redeemed by the Company or the Guarantor at the applicable Redemption Price, together with any interest accrued to the Redemption Date; provided, however, that any regular payment of interest becoming due on any Securities on the Redemption Date shall be payable to the registered owners of such Securities as of the relevant Record Date as provided in Article Two hereof. Upon presentation of any Security which is redeemed in part only, the Company shall execute a new Security and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver at the expense of the Company a new Security of the same Series of authorized denomination in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the Security so presented.

If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, to the extent permitted by law, bear interest from the date fixed for redemption at the rate borne by the Security, or, in the case of a Security which does not bear interest, at the rate of interest set forth therefor in the Security, in either case, until paid.

ARTICLE FOUR

THE GUARANTEE BY AND

COVENANTS OF THE GUARANTOR

Section 4.01 Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally guarantees to the Holders from time to time of the Securities (a) the full and prompt payment of the principal of and any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration, redemption or otherwise and (b) the full and prompt payment of any interest on any Security when and as the same shall become due. Each payment by the Guarantor with respect to any Security shall be paid in the currency specified in this Indenture or in the related Certified Resolution or Supplemental Indenture for payments on such Security. Each and every default in the payment of the principal of or interest or any premium on any Security shall give rise to a separate cause of action hereunder, and separate suits may be brought hereunder as each cause of action arises.

The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be absolute and unconditional and shall remain in full force and effect until the entire principal of and interest and any premium on the Securities shall have been paid or provided for in accordance with the provisions of this Indenture, and such payment shall not be affected, modified or impaired upon the happening from time to time of any event, including without limitation any of the following, whether or not with notice to, or the consent of, the Guarantor:

(a) the waiver, surrender, compromise, settlement, release or termination of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of the Company under this Indenture or the Securities;

(b) the failure to give notice to the Guarantor of the occurrence of an Event of Default;

(c) the waiver, compromise or release of the payment, performance or observance by the Company or the Guarantor of any or all of the obligations, covenants or agreements of either of them contained in this Indenture;

(d) the extension of the time for payment of any principal of or interest or any premium on any Security or for any other payment under this Indenture or of the time for performance of any other obligations, covenants or agreements under or arising out of this Indenture;

(e) the modification or amendment (whether material or otherwise) of any obligation, covenant or agreement set forth in this Indenture or the Securities;

(f) the taking or the omission of any of the actions referred to in this Indenture and any of the actions under the Securities;

(g) any failure, omission, delay or lack on the part of the Trustee to enforce, assert or exercise any right, power or remedy conferred on the Trustee in this Indenture, or any other act or acts on the part of the Trustee or any of the Holders from time to time of the Securities;

(h) the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, sale or other disposition of all or substantially all the assets, marshalling of assets and liabilities, receivership, insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors, reorganization, arrangement, composition

with creditors or readjustment of, or other similar proceedings affecting the Guarantor, or the Company or any of the assets of any of them, or any allegation or contest of the validity of the Guarantee in any such proceeding;

(i) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Guarantor from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture;

(j) to the extent permitted by law, the release or discharge by operation of law of the Company from the performance or observance of any obligation, covenant or agreement contained in this Indenture;

(k) the default or failure of the Guarantor or the Trustee fully to perform any of its obligations set forth in this Indenture or the Securities; or

(l) the invalidity of this Indenture or the Securities or any part of any thereof.

No set-off, counterclaim, reduction, or diminution of any obligation, or any defense of any kind or nature which the Guarantor has or may have against the Trustee shall be available hereunder to the Guarantor against the Trustee to reduce the payments of the Guarantor under this Section 4.01.

The Guarantor assumes responsibility for being and remaining informed of the financial condition of the Company and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of amounts owing under the Securities which diligent inquiry would reveal and agrees that the Holders of the Securities shall have no duty to advise the Guarantor of information known to any of them regarding such condition or any such circumstances.

Section 4.02 Proceedings Against the Guarantor. In the event of a default in the payment of principal of or any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, or in the event of a default in any sinking fund payment, or in the event of a default in the payment of any interest on any Security when and as the same shall become due, the Trustee shall have the right to proceed first and directly against the Guarantor under this Indenture without first proceeding against the Company or exhausting any other remedies which it may have and without resorting to any other security held by the Trustee.

The Trustee shall have the right, power and authority to do all things it deems necessary or advisable to enforce the provisions of this Indenture relating to the Guarantee and protect the interests of the Holders of the Securities and, in the event of a default in payment of the principal of or any premium on any Security when and as the same shall become due, whether at the stated maturity thereof, by acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise, or in the event of a default in the payment of any interest on any Security when and as the same shall become due, the Trustee may institute or appear in such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any of its rights and the rights of the Securityholders, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture relating to the Guarantee or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event of a default in payment of the principal of or interest or any premium on any Security when due, the Trustee may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Guarantor and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Guarantor, wherever situated.

Section 4.03 Guarantee for Benefit of Securityholders. The Guarantee contained in this Indenture is entered into by the Guarantor for the benefit of the Holders from time to time of the Securities. Such provisions shall not be deemed to create any right in, or to be in whole or in part for the benefit of any Person other than the Trustee, the Guarantor, the Holders from time to time of the Securities and their permitted successors and assigns.

Section 4.04 Corporate Existence of Guarantor; Consolidation, Merger, Sale or Transfer. The Guarantor covenants that so long as any of the Securities are Outstanding, it will maintain its corporate existence, will not dissolve, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets and will not consolidate with or merge into another corporation or permit one or more other corporations to consolidate with or merge into it; provided that the Guarantor may, without violating the covenants in this Section 4.04 contained, consolidate with or merge into another corporation or permit one or more other corporations to consolidate with or merge into it, or sell or otherwise transfer to another corporation all or substantially all of its assets as an entirety and thereafter dissolve, if the surviving, resulting or transferee corporation, as the case may be, (i) shall be incorporated and existing under the laws of one of the States of the United States of America, (ii) assumes, if such corporation is not the Guarantor, all of the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder and (iii) is not, after such transaction, otherwise in default under any provisions hereof.

Section 4.05 Securities to Be Secured in Certain Events. If, upon any consolidation or merger of the Guarantor, any Principal Property would thereupon become subject to any mortgage, security interest, pledge, lien or other encumbrance (the “Attaching Lien”), the Guarantor, prior to any such consolidation or merger, will secure the Outstanding Securities (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guaranteed by the Guarantor ranking equally with the Securities and then existing or thereafter created) equally and ratably with the debt or other obligation secured by the Attaching Lien unless such debt or other obligation secured by the Attaching Lien could have been incurred by the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary without being required by the provisions of Section 4.06 (whether or not such Section may be applicable to any Series of Securities) to secure the Securities equally and ratably therewith.

Section 4.06 Limitations on Liens. Nothing in this Indenture or (except as expressly provided with respect to a Series in the establishment of the terms thereof) in the Securities contained shall in any way restrict or prevent the Guarantor or any Subsidiary from incurring any indebtedness; provided that the Guarantor covenants and agrees that it will not itself and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to issue, assume or guarantee any notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed (notes, bonds, debentures or other similar evidences of indebtedness for money borrowed being hereinafter in this Article Four called “Debt”) secured by a pledge of, or mortgage or lien on (mortgages, pledges and liens being hereinafter in this Article Four called “liens”), any of the Guarantor’s or any Restricted Subsidiary’s Principal Properties or any shares of stock of or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary (such Principal Properties, stock and indebtedness being hereinafter collectively referred to as “Property”), without effectively providing that the Securities (together with, if the Guarantor shall so determine, any other Debt of the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary then existing or thereafter created ranking equally with the Securities, including guarantees of indebtedness of others) shall be secured equally and ratably with (or prior to) such Debt, so long as such Debt shall be so secured, except that this Section 4.06 shall not apply to Debt secured by:

(1) liens on Property of any corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) liens on Property existing at the time of acquisition thereof or to secure the payment of all or any part of the purchase price thereof or to secure any Debt incurred prior to, at the time of or within 24 months after the acquisition of such Property for the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof;

(3) liens on particular Property to secure any Debt incurred to provide funds for all or any part of the cost of exploration, drilling or development of such Property or the cost of improvements to such Property;

(4) liens which secure Debt owing by a Restricted Subsidiary to the Guarantor or any Subsidiary;

(5) liens on personal property, other than shares of stock or indebtedness of any Restricted Subsidiary, to secure loans maturing not more than one year from the date of the creation thereof;

(6) liens on Property to secure Debt or other indebtedness incurred in connection with any financings done in accordance with the provisions of Section 103 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended; and

(7) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or replacements), in whole or in part, of any lien referred to in the foregoing subparagraphs (1) to (6), inclusive, or of any Debt secured thereby; provided that such extension, renewal or replacement mortgage shall be limited to all or any part of the same Property that secured the lien extended, renewed or replaced (plus improvements on such Property).

Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in this Section 4.06, the Guarantor may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, issue, assume or guarantee Debt secured by liens on property of the types to which this Section applies and which are not excepted by Subsections (1) through (7) of this Section without equally and ratably securing the Securities, provided that the sum of all such Debt then being issued, assumed or guaranteed and the aggregate of Attributable Debt with respect to sale and leaseback arrangements of the Guarantor and any Restricted Subsidiary permitted by Section 4.07 (whether or not such Section may be applicable to any Series of Securities) does not exceed ten percent of the Consolidated Adjusted Tangible Assets prior to the time such Debt was issued, assumed or guaranteed.

The following types of transactions, among others, shall not be deemed to create “Debt” secured by “liens” within the meaning of those terms as defined above:

(a) the sale or other transfer of (i) oil, gas or other minerals in place for a period of time until, or in an amount such that, the purchaser will realize therefrom a specified amount of money (however determined) or a specified amount of such minerals, or (ii) any other interest in property of the character commonly referred to as a “production payment”; and

(b) the mortgage or pledge of any property of the Guarantor or any Subsidiary in favor of the United States, or any State, or any department, agency or instrumentality of either, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments to the Guarantor or any Subsidiary pursuant to the provisions of any contract or statute.

Section 4.07 Limitation on Sale and Leaseback. The Guarantor will not itself, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, enter into any arrangement (except for temporary leases for a term of not more than three years, or except for sale or transfer and leaseback transactions involving the acquisition or improvement of Principal Properties provided that the amount of consideration received at the time of sale or transfer by the Guarantor or such Restricted Subsidiary for the property so sold or transferred shall be applied as set forth in subparagraph (2) below) with any bank, insurance company or other lender or investor, or to which any such lender or investor is a party, providing for the leasing to the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary of any Principal Property which has been or is to be sold or transferred by the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary to such lender or investor or to any Person to whom funds have been or are to be advanced by such lender or investor on the security of such property unless, either:

(1) the Guarantor or any Restricted Subsidiary could create Debt secured by a mortgage pursuant to Section 4.06 on the property to be leased without equally and ratably securing the Securities or

(2) The Guarantor within the 12 months preceding such sale or transfer or the 12 months following such sale or transfer, regardless of whether such sale or transfer may have been made by the Guarantor or by a Restricted Subsidiary, has applied or applies an amount equal to the greater of (a) the net proceeds of the sale of the property leased pursuant to such arrangement or (b) the fair value of the property so leased at the time of entering into such arrangement:

(i) to the voluntary retirement of debt of the Guarantor or of a Restricted Subsidiary or debt of a Subsidiary guaranteed by the Guarantor which debt matures by its terms more than one year after the date on which it was originally incurred (collectively herein called “funded debt”); provided that there shall be credited against the amount required by subparagraph (2) to be applied to the retirement of funded debt an amount equal to:

(A) the principal amount of any Securities delivered within the 12 months preceding such sale or transfer or the 12 months following such sale or transfer to the Trustee for voluntary retirement and cancellation, and

(B) the principal amount of funded debt, other than Securities, voluntarily retired by the Guarantor within 12 months before or after such sale; or

(ii) to the acquisition, development or improvement of a Principal Property or Principal Properties.

Section 4.08 Notice of Default. The Guarantor covenants that, as soon as is practicable, the Guarantor will furnish the Trustee notice of any event which is an Event of Default or which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would constitute an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing on the date of such notice, which notice shall set forth the nature of such event and the action which the Guarantor proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 4.09 Waiver of Certain Covenants of Guarantor. The Guarantor may omit in any particular instance to comply with any covenant, term, provision or condition set forth in this Article Four with respect to the Securities of any series if before the time for such compliance, the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Securities of such Series at the time Outstanding shall either waive such compliance in such instance or generally waive compliance with such covenant, term, provision or condition, but no such waiver shall extend to or affect such term, provision or condition except to the extent so expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations of the Guarantor in respect of any such covenant, term, provision or condition shall remain in full force and effect.

Such written statement shall specify the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for a hearing upon the objections specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such material to all such Securityholders 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.

(c) Each and every Holder of the Securities, by receiving and holding the same, agrees with the Company, the Guarantor and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Guarantor nor the Trustee nor any Paying Agent nor any registrar shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Holders of Securities in accordance with the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 5.02, regardless of the source from which such information was derived, and that the Trustee shall not be held accountable by reason of mailing any material pursuant to a request made under said subsection (b).

(1) in case default shall be made in the payment of any installment of interest on any of the Securities of any Series as and when the same shall become due and payable, and such default shall have continued for a period of 30 days or

(2) in case default shall be made in the payment of all or any part of the principal of any of the Securities of any Series when the same shall have become due and payable, whether at the Stated Maturity of the Securities of such Series or by any call for redemption or upon declaration of acceleration or otherwise or

(3) default shall be made in the satisfaction of any sinking fund obligation when and as such obligation becomes due and payable,

upon demand of the Trustee, the Company will pay to the Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Securities of such Series, the whole amount that then shall have become due and payable on all such Securities of such Series for principal (and any premium) and interest and for any overdue sinking fund payment together with interest upon the overdue principal and installments of interest (to the extent permitted by law) at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in, the Securities of such Series; and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expense of collection, including a reasonable compensation to the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any expenses or liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Trustee hereunder other than through its negligence or bad faith.

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 actions or proceedings at law or in equity for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute any such action or proceedings to judgment or final decree, and may enforce any such judgment or final decree against the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities, and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor upon such Securities wherever situated the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable.

If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of such Series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem most effectual to protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy.

Section 6.03 Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.

(i) to file and prove a claim for the whole amount of principal (and premium, if any) and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the Securities (or, if the Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of such Securities) and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding, and

(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other property payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute the same;

and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Holder to make such payments to the Trustee and, in the event that the Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 7.06.

Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

Section 6.04 Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee to the fullest extent permitted by law without the possession of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating thereto, and any such 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 the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.

Section 6.05 Application of Moneys Collected By Trustee. Any moneys collected by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.02 shall be applied in the order following, at the date or dates fixed by the Trustee for the distribution of such moneys, upon presentation of the several Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected, and stamping thereon the payment, if only partially paid, and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:

FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due to the Trustee under Section 7.06;

SECOND: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which moneys have been collected shall not have become due and be unpaid, to the payment of any interest on such Securities, in the order of the maturity of the installments of such interest, with interest upon the overdue installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee at the rate or rates of interest borne by such Securities or prescribed therefor therein), such payments to be made ratably to the Persons entitled thereto, without discrimination or preference;

THIRD: In case the principal of the Outstanding Securities in respect of which such moneys have been collected shall have become due, by declaration or otherwise, to the payment of the whole amount then owing and unpaid upon such Securities for principal and interest, if any, with interest on the overdue principal and any installments of interest (so far as permitted by law and to the extent that such interest has been collected by the Trustee) at the rate or rates of interest borne by, or prescribed therefor in, such Securities; and in case such moneys shall be insufficient to pay in full the whole amount so due and unpaid upon such Securities, then to the payment of such principal and interest, without preference or priority of principal over interest, or of interest over principal, or of any installment of interest over any other installment of interest, or of any Security over any other Security, ratably to the aggregate of such principal and accrued and unpaid interest; and

FOURTH: To the payment of the remainder, with appropriate interest to the Company, the Guarantor or their successors or assigns, or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.

Section 6.06 Limitation on Suits By Holders of Securities. No Holder of any Security of any Series shall 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 a continuing Event of Default, as hereinbefore provided, and unless also the Holders of not less than 25% in 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 (including the reasonable fees of counsel for the Trustee), and the Trustee, for 60 days after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding and no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.06; it being understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by the taker and Holder of every Security with every other taker and Holder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Securities shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue or by availing of any provision

of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of 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. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of this Section, each and every Holder and the Trustee shall be entitled to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the right of any Holder of any Security to receive payment of the principal of and interest on such Security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in such Security (or, in the case of redemption on or after the date fixed for redemption), or to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such Holder.

Section 6.07 Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All powers and remedies given by this Article Six to the Trustee or to the Holders shall, to the extent permitted by law, be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any thereof or of any other powers and remedies available to the Trustee or the Holders, by judicial proceedings or otherwise, to enforce the performance or observance of the covenants and agreements contained in this Indenture, and no delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any of the Securities to exercise any right or power accruing upon any default occurring and continuing as aforesaid shall impair any such right or power, or shall be construed to be a waiver of any such default or an acquiescence therein; and, subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every power and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

Section 6.08 Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an acquiescence therein. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.06, every right and remedy given by this Article Six or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders, as the case may be.

Section 6.09 Control By Holders; Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a Series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) and with respect to which an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 7.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee in reliance upon an Opinion of Counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Holders not parties to such direction, and provided further that nothing in this Indenture shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Holders.

The Company may set a special record date for purposes of determining the identity of the Holders of Securities entitled to vote or consent to any action by vote or consent authorized or permitted by this Section 6.09. Such record date shall be the later of 15 days prior to the first solicitation of such consent or the date of the most recent list of holders furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01 of this Indenture prior to such solicitation.

The Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any Series at the time Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such Series waive any past Event of Default with respect to such Series and its consequences (subject to Section 6.02), except a continuing Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(a), (b) or (c), or in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Article Ten cannot be modified or

amended without the consent of the Holder of each Security so affected. Upon any such waiver, the Company, the Guarantor, the Trustee and the Holders of the Securities of such Series shall be restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, and such Event of Default shall be deemed to have been cured and not continuing for every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.

Section 6.10 Trustee to Give Notice of Defaults Known to It, But May Withhold in Certain Circumstances. The Trustee shall, within 90 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to the Securities of any Series, give to the Holders of the Securities of such Series in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04, notice of such default known to the Trustee unless such default shall have been cured, remedied or waived before the giving of such notice (the term “default” for the purposes of this Section 6.10 being hereby defined to be the events specified in Section 6.01 and any additional events specified in the terms of any Series of Securities pursuant to Section 2.01 not including any periods of grace provided for therein, and irrespective of the giving of written notice specified in clause (d) of Section 6.01 and in any such terms); provided, that except in the case of default in the payment of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities of such Series, the Trustee shall be protected in withholding such notice if and so long as the board of directors, the executive committee, or a trust committee of directors and/or Responsible Officers of the Trustee in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the Holders of the Securities of such Series.

Section 6.11 Requirement of an Undertaking to Pay Costs in Certain Suits Under the Indenture or Against the Trustee. All parties to this Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by such Holder’s 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 6.11 shall not apply to any suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Holder of Securities of any Series, or group of such Holders, holding in the aggregate more than ten percent in principal amount of the Securities of such Series Outstanding, or to any suit instituted by any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of or any interest or premium on any Security, on or after the due date expressed in such Security (or in the case of any redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).

ARTICLE SEVEN

CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

Section 7.01 Certain Duties and Responsibilities of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not been cured, remedied or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his or her own affairs.

No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, provided, however, that:

(a) prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the curing, remedying or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred:

(1) the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Indenture and the Trustee shall not be liable except for the

performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Indenture, and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture; but in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision hereof are specifically required to be furnished to the Trustee, the Trustee shall be under a duty to examine the same to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture;

(b) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and

(c) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.09 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.

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 hereunder 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 adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

Section 7.02 Certain Rights of Trustee. 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, debenture, note 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 or the Guarantor mentioned herein shall be sufficiently evidenced by an Officer’s Certificate (unless other evidence in respect thereof shall be herein specifically prescribed); and any resolution of the Board of Directors of the Company or of the Guarantor may be evidenced to the Trustee by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Company or the Guarantor, as the case may be.

(c) The Trustee may consult with counsel and the written advice of such counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken, suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such written advice or Opinion of Counsel.

(d) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request, order or direction of any of the Securityholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such Securityholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby.

(e) The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted 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, debenture, note or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of Securities pursuant to Section 6.09; 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; and provided further, that nothing in this subsection (f) shall require the Trustee to give the Securityholders any notice other than that required by Section 6.10. 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.

(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.

(h) The Trustee shall be under no responsibility for the approval by it in good faith of any expert for any of the purposes expressed in this Indenture.

Section 7.03 Trustee Not Responsible for Recitals or Application of Proceeds. 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 or the Guarantor, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Company of any of the Securities or of the proceeds thereof.

Section 7.04 Trustee May Own Securities. The Trustee, any Paying Agent, registrar or any agent of the Company or of the Trustee, 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, registrar or such other agent.

Section 7.05 Moneys Received by Trustee to be Held in Trust. Moneys held by the Trustee in trust 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 money received by it hereunder except as otherwise agreed with the Company.

Section 7.06 Trustee Entitled to Compensation, Reimbursement and Indemnity. 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 any express trust), 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 connection with the acceptance or administration of its trust under this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all Persons not regularly in its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Company also agrees to indemnify the Trustee 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 reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim of liability in the premises. The obligations of the Company under this Section to compensate the Trustee, to pay or reimburse the Trustee for expenses, disbursements and advances and to indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee shall constitute additional indebtedness hereunder and shall survive the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture. 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 payment of principal of or interest or redemption premium on particular Securities.

Section 7.07 Right of Trustee to Rely on Officers’ Certificate Where No Other Evidence Specifically Prescribed. 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, suffering or omitting 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 of the Company or the Guarantor delivered to the Trustee, and such Certificate, in the absence of negligence or bad faith on the part of the Trustee, shall be full warrant to the Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by it under the provisions of this Indenture upon the faith thereof.

Section 7.08 Disqualification; Conflicting Interest. (a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as defined in this Section 7.08, it shall, within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting interest, and if the Event of Default to which such conflicting interest relates has not been cured or duly waived or otherwise eliminated before the end of such 90-day period, the Trustee shall either eliminate such conflicting interest or, except as otherwise provided in this Section 7.08, resign in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 7.10, such resignation to become effective upon the appointment of a successor trustee and such successor’s acceptance of such appointment, and the Company shall take prompt steps to have a successor appointed in the manner provided in Section 7.10.

(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section, the Trustee shall, within ten days after the expiration of such 90-day period, transmit notice of such failure to the Securityholders in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of said Section 5.04.

(c) Subject to the provisions of Section 6.11 of this Indenture, unless the Trustee’s duty to resign is stayed as provided in subsection (f) of this Section 7.08, any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of Securities for at least six months may, on such Holder’s behalf and on behalf of all other Holders similarly situated, petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of such Trustee and the appointment of a successor, if such Trustee fails after written request thereof by such Holder to comply with the provisions of subsection (a) of this Section 7.08.

(d) For the purposes of this Section 7.08 the Trustee shall be deemed to have a conflicting interest with respect to the Securities of any Series if an Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) has occurred with respect to securities of such Series and:

(1) the Trustee is trustee under another indenture under which any other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in any other securities, of the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities are outstanding or is trustee for more than one outstanding series of securities, as hereinafter defined, under a single indenture of the Company, the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities, unless such other indenture is a collateral trust indenture under which the only collateral consists of Securities, provided that there shall be excluded from the operation of this paragraph, this Indenture with respect to the Securities of any other Series outstanding; the Indenture dated as of June 15, 1995 between Chevron Corporation and the Trustee; the Indenture dated as of May 15, 1987 among Chevron Capital U.S.A. Inc., as issuer, Chevron Corporation, as guarantor and the Trustee; the Indenture dated as of October 15, 1991 among Chevron Corporation Profit Sharing/Savings Plan Trust Fund, as issuer, Chevron Corporation, as guarantor, and the Trustee; and any other indenture or indentures under which other securities, or certificates of interest or participation in other securities, of the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities are outstanding, if (A) this Indenture is and such other indenture or indentures (and all series of securities issued 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, unless the 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, that differences exist between the provisions of this Indenture with respect to Securities of such Series and one or more other Series, or 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 Securities of such Series and such other Series, or under this Indenture and such other indenture or indentures, or (B) the Company or the Guarantor shall have sustained the burden of proving, on application to the Commission and after opportunity for hearing thereon, that the trusteeship under this Indenture with respect to Securities of such Series and such other Series, or under this Indenture and such other indenture, 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 such Series and such other Series, or under this Indenture and one of such indentures,

(2) the Trustee or any of its directors or executive officers is an underwriter for the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities,

(3) the Trustee directly or indirectly controls or is directly or indirectly controlled by or is under direct or indirect common control with an underwriter for the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities,

(5) ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee are beneficially owned either by the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities 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 ten percent or more of the voting securities of the Trustee are beneficially owned either by an underwriter for the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities or by any director, partner or executive officer thereof, respectively, or are 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 defined, (A) five percent or more of the voting securities, or ten percent or more of any other class of security, of the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities, not including the Securities and securities issued under any other indenture under which the Trustee is also trustee, or (B) ten percent or more of any class of security of an underwriter for the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities,

(7) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, five percent or more of the voting securities of any Person who, to the knowledge of the Trustee, owns ten percent or more of the voting securities of, or controls directly or indirectly or is under direct or indirect common control with the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities,

(8) the Trustee is the beneficial owner of, or holds as collateral security for an obligation which is in default, as hereinafter defined, ten percent 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 or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities,

(9) the Trustee owns on the date of the occurrence of such Event of Default (exclusive of any period of grace or requirement of notice) or any anniversary thereof while such Event of Default 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 included 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 date of the occurrence of any such Event of Default and annually in each succeeding year that the Securities or any Series thereof remain in default, the Trustee shall make a check of its holdings of such securities in any of the above-mentioned capacities as of such date. If the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities 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 holdings 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 (d), or

(10) except under the circumstances described in paragraphs (1), (3), (4), (5) or (6) of Section 7.13(b), the Trustee shall be or become a creditor of the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities.

The specifications of percentages in paragraphs (5) to (9), inclusive, of this subsection (d) 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 (d).

For the purposes of paragraphs (6), (7), (8) and (9) of this subsection (d) 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 an 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 depository, or in any similar representative capacity.

(2) The term “director” shall mean any director of a corporation or any individual performing similar functions with respect to any organization whether incorporated or unincorporated.

Section 7.09 Requirements for Eligibility of Trustee. There shall always be at least one Trustee hereunder.

surplus of at least $100,000,000 and subject to supervision or examination by Federal, State 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. No obligor on the Securities or Person directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with such obligor shall serve as Trustee. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7.09, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in this Article Seven.

Section 7.10 Resignation and Removal of Trustee; Appointment of Successor. (a) The Trustee, or any trustee or trustees hereafter appointed, may at any time resign with respect to one or more or all Series of Securities by giving written notice of such resignation to the Company and to the Guarantor and by giving to the Holders of Securities notice thereof in the manner and to the extent provided in subsection (c) of Section 5.04 with respect to reports pursuant to subsection (a) of Section 5.04. Upon receiving such notice of resignation and if the Company or the Guarantor shall deem it appropriate, evidence satisfactory to it of such mailing to the Holders, the Company shall promptly appoint a successor trustee with respect to all Series of Securities or, if appropriate, the applicable Series by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 with respect to any Series 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, or any Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities of the applicable Series for at least six months may, subject to the provisions of Section 6.11, on such Holder’s behalf and on behalf of 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 of the applicable Series 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, 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,

(4) The Company shall determine that the Trustee has failed to perform its obligations under this Indenture in any material respect,

then, in any such case, the Company may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument executed by an authorized officer of the Company, 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 6.11, any Securityholder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security or Securities for at least six months may, on such Person’s behalf and on behalf of 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.

(c) The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities Outstanding (determined as provided in Section 8.04) may at any time remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument or instruments signed by such Holders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, or by the affidavits of the permanent chairman and secretary of a meeting of the Securityholders evidencing the vote upon a resolution or resolutions submitted thereto with respect to such removal and appointment (as provided in Article Nine), and by delivery thereof to the Trustee so removed, to the successor trustee and to the Company and the Guarantor.

(d) Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and any appointment of a successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in Section 7.11.

Section 7.11 Acceptance of Appointment by Successor Trustee. Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 7.10 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company, the Guarantor and to its predecessor trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee shall become effective and such successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations with respect to such Series of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as trustee herein; but, nevertheless, on the written request of the Company or of the successor trustee, the trustee ceasing to act shall, upon payment of any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor trustee all the rights and powers with respect to the trustee so ceasing to act. Upon written request of any such successor trustee, the Company and the Guarantor shall execute any and all instruments in writing for more fully and certainly vesting in and confirming to such successor trustee all such rights and powers. Any trustee ceasing to act shall, nevertheless, retain a lien upon all property or funds held or collected by such trustee to secure any amounts then due it pursuant to the provisions of Section 7.06.

No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section 7.11 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be qualified under the provisions of Section 7.08 and eligible under the provisions of Section 7.09.

In case at the time such successor to the Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by this Indenture any of the Securities shall have been authenticated but not delivered, any such successor to the Trustee may adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee, and deliver such Securities so authenticated; and in case at that time any of the Securities shall not have been authenticated, any successor to the Trustee may authenticate such Securities either in the name of any predecessor hereunder or in the name of the successor Trustee; and in all such cases such certificates shall have the full force which it is anywhere in the Securities or in this Indenture provided that the certificate of the Trustee shall have; provided, however, that the right to adopt the certificate of authentication of any predecessor Trustee or to authenticate Securities in the name of any predecessor Trustee shall apply only to its successor or successors by merger, conversion or consolidation.

Section 7.13 Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company or Guarantor. (a) Subject to the provisions of subsection (b) of this Section 7.13, if the Trustee shall be or shall become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company or of the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities 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 for which it is acting as Trustee, and the Holders of other indenture securities (as defined in subsection (c) of this Section 7.13):

(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, the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities and their respective 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, upon the date of such default; and

(2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any claims 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, and their respective 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be) who is liable thereon, and (ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States Code or applicable State laws;

(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;

(C) to realize, for its own account, but only to the 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 7.13 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 preexisting claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have the same status as such preexisting 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 among the Trustee, the Holders of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee, and the Holders of other indenture securities in such manner that the Trustee, such 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States 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 or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, of the funds and property in such special account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee, such Securityholders, and the Holders of other indenture securities dividends on claims filed against the Company or the Guarantor or such other obligor on the Securities, as the case may be, in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States 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 proceedings for reorganization pursuant to Title 11 of the United States 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 proceeding for reorganization is pending shall have jurisdiction (i) to apportion among the Trustee, such 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, such 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 claim, 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.

In every case commenced under the Bankruptcy Act of 1898, or any amendment thereto enacted prior to November 6, 1978, all references to periods of three months shall be deemed to be references to periods of four months.

(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of subsection (a) of this Section 7.13 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 which shall at any time be subject to the lien 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 Section 5.04(c) with respect to reports pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) thereof, respectively;

(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar, custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depository, 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 7.13;

(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a corporation 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 the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities; and

(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 7.13.

(1) the term “default” shall mean any failure to make payment in full of the principal of and any premium or interest on any of the Securities or on the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest becomes due and payable.

(2) the term “other indenture securities” shall mean securities upon which the Company or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities 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 7.13, 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 or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities 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 or the Guarantor or any other obligor on the Securities arising from the making, drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, xxxx of exchange, acceptance or obligation.

(c) to add or change any of the provisions of this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to facilitate the issuance of Securities in (i) global form or (ii) bearer form, registerable or not registerable as to principal or principal and interest, and with or without coupons,
