The Securities may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage. Each Security shall be dated the date of its authentication.

The Guarantees by the Guarantor to be endorsed on the Securities shall be substantially in the form set forth in Section 10.03, or as shall be established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions or any supplemental indenture, in each case with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions or other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture. The Guarantees may have notations, legends or endorsements required by law, stock exchange rule or usage.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, 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 Securities outstanding under the series from time to time endorsed thereon and also may provide that the aggregate amount of Securities outstanding under the series represented thereby may from time to time be reduced to reflect exchanges. Any endorsement of a Global Security to reflect the amount of Securities outstanding under the series represented thereby shall be made by the Trustee in accordance with the instructions of the Corporation and in such manner as shall be specified on such Global Security. Any instructions by the Corporation or the Guarantor with respect to a Global Security, after its initial issuance, shall be in writing but need not comply with Section 11.04.

Before the first delivery of a Security of any series to the Trustee for authentication, the Corporation shall deliver to the Trustee the following:

(1)the Board Resolution or Resolutions by or pursuant to which the forms and terms of the Security and the Guarantee have been approved;

(2)Officers' Certificates of the Corporation and the Guarantor dated the date of delivery stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of Securities in that series and the guarantee of such Securities by the Guarantor have been complied with and directing the Trustee to authenticate and deliver the Securities to or upon written order of the Corporation; and

(3)Opinions of Counsel stating that all conditions precedent provided for in this Indenture relating to the authentication and delivery of Securities of that series and the guarantee of such Securities by the Guarantor have been complied with, the form and terms of the series have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions in conformity with this Indenture, the form and terms of the guarantee of such Securities by the Guarantor have been established by or pursuant to a Board Resolution or Resolutions in conformity with this Indenture, and that Securities and Guarantees in such form when completed by appropriate insertions and executed by the Corporation and the Guarantor and delivered by the Corporation to the Trustee for authentication in accordance with this Indenture, authenticated and delivered by the Trustee in accordance with this Indenture within the authorization as to aggregate principal amount established from time to time by the Board of Directors and sold in the manner specified in such Opinions of Counsel will be the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Corporation and the Guarantor, respectively, entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency and other similar laws generally affecting creditors' rights and to general equity principles, and to such other qualifications as such counsel shall conclude do not materially affect the rights of Holders of Securities of that series or that are customarily included in similar opinions by lawyers experienced in such matters.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Corporation shall establish pursuant to Section 2.03 that the Securities of a series are to be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more Global Securities, then the Corporation and the Guarantor shall execute and the Trustee shall, in accordance with this Section, Section 2.02 and the authentication order of the Corporation with respect to such series, authenticate and deliver one or more Global Securities in temporary or permanent form that shall (a) represent and be denominated in an aggregate amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series to be represented by one or more Global Securities, (b) be registered in the name of the Depositary for such Global Security or Securities or the nominee of such Depositary, (c) be delivered by the Trustee to such Depositary or pursuant to such Depositary's instruction; and (d) 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 Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the Depositary to a nominee of the Depositary or by a nominee of the Depositary to the Depositary or another nominee of the Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee of any successor Depositary."

SECTION 2.02. Execution and Authentication. Two Officers shall sign the Securities for the Corporation by manual or facsimile signature. Two Officers shall sign the Guarantees for the Guarantor by manual or facsimile

signature. The Corporation's and the Guarantor's seals shall be impressed, affixed, imprinted or reproduced on the Securities.

If an Officer whose signature is on a Security or a Guarantee no longer holds that office at the time the Trustee authenticates the Security, the Security or the Guarantee, as the case may be, shall be valid nevertheless.

A Security and the related Guarantee shall not be valid until the Trustee manually signs the certificate of authentication on the Security. The signature shall be conclusive evidence that the Security has been authenticated under this Indenture.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.03 and of the preceding paragraphs, if all Securities of a series are not to be originally issued at one time (including, for example, a series constituting a medium-term note program), it shall not be necessary to deliver the Officers' Certificate otherwise required pursuant to Section 2.01 or the Opinions of Counsel otherwise required pursuant to such preceding paragraphs at or prior to the time of authentication of each Security of such series if such documents are delivered at or prior to the time of authentication upon original issuance of the first Security of such series. In such case the Trustee may conclusively rely on the foregoing documents and opinions delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 and Section 2.03, and this Section, as applicable (unless revoked by superseding comparable documents or opinions), as to the matters set forth therein.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Security shall have been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder but never issued and sold by the Corporation, and the Corporation shall deliver such Security to the Trustee for cancellation as provided in Section 2.11 together with a written statement (which need not comply with Section 2.01 and need not be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel) stating that such Security has never been issued and sold by the Corporation, for all purposes of this Indenture such Security shall be deemed never to have been authenticated and delivered hereunder and shall never be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture.

If any Security of a series shall be represented by a Global Security, then, for purposes of this Section and Section 2.10, the notation of the record owners' interest therein upon original issuance of such Security shall be deemed to be delivered in connection with the original issuance of each beneficial owner's interest in such Global Security.

The Trustee's certificate of authentication on all Securities shall be in substantially the following form:

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

Date: [Name of Trustee], as Trustee

The Trustee may appoint an authenticating agent acceptable to the Corporation to authenticate Securities. An authenticating agent may authenticate Securities whenever the Trustee may do so. Each reference in this Indenture to authentication by the Trustee includes authentication by such agent. An authenticating agent has the same rights as an Agent to deal with the Corporation.

If at any time there shall be an authenticating agent appointed with respect to any series of Securities, then the Trustee's certificate of authentication to be borne by the Securities of each such series shall be substantially as follows:

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

SECTION 2.05. Paying Agent to Hold Money in Trust. Each Paying Agent for any series of Securities shall hold in trust for the benefit of Holders of Securities of the same series or the Trustee all money held by the Paying Agent for the payment of principal of or interest, if any, on such Securities and shall notify the Trustee of any default by the Corporation in making such payment. If the Corporation or a Subsidiary acts as Paying Agent with respect to a series of Securities, it shall segregate the money for that series and hold it as a separate trust fund. The Corporation at any time may require a Paying Agent to pay all money held by it to the Trustee. Upon doing so the Paying Agent shall have no further liability for the money.

SECTION 2.06. Securityholder Lists. For each series of Securities, the Trustee shall preserve in as current a form as is reasonably practicable the most recent list available to it of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of that series. If the Trustee is not the Registrar, the Corporation shall furnish or cause to be furnished to the Trustee on or before each interest payment date for each series of Securities and at such other times as the Trustee may request in writing a list in such form and as of such date as the Trustee may reasonably require of the names and addresses of Holders of Securities of that series.

SECTION 2.07. Transfer and Exchange. Where a Security (other than a Global Security except as set forth herein) is presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to register a transfer, the Registrar shall register the transfer as requested if the requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor provision) are met. Where Securities (other than a Global Security except as set forth herein) of any series are presented to the Registrar or a co-registrar with a request to exchange them for an equal principal amount of Securities of other denominations of the same series with identical terms as the Securities

exchanged, the Registrar shall make the exchange as requested if the same requirements are met. To permit transfers and exchanges, the Trustee shall authenticate Securities at the Registrar's request. The Corporation may charge a reasonable fee for any transfer or exchange, but not for any exchange pursuant to Section 2.10, 3.07 or 9.05. The Corporation shall not be required to make transfers or exchanges of Securities of any series for a period of 15 days before a selection of Securities of the same series to be redeemed or before an interest payment.

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, 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 Depositary for such series to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such Depositary or by such Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary for such series or a nominee of such successor Depositary.

None of the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar or any co-registrar shall have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of a Global Security or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.

If at any time the Depositary for the Securities of a series notifies the Corporation that it is unwilling or unable to continue as Depositary for the Securities of such series or if at any time the Depositary for the Securities of such series shall no longer be eligible under Section 2.03, the Corporation shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to the Securities of such series. If a successor Depositary for the Securities of such series is not appointed by the Corporation within 90 days after the Corporation receives such notice or becomes aware of such ineligibility, the Corporation's election pursuant to Section 2.03(19) shall no longer be effective with respect to the Securities of such series and the Corporation will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form 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.

The Corporation 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 Corporation will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of an order of the Corporation for the authentication and delivery of definitive Securities of such series, will authenticate and deliver Securities of such series in definitive form 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.

If specified by the Corporation pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to a series of Securities, the Depositary for such series of Securities may surrender a Global Security for such series of Securities in exchange in whole or in part for the Securities of such series in definitive form on such terms as are acceptable to the Corporation and such Depositary. Thereupon, the Corporation shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver:

(1)to each party specified by such Depositary a new Security or Securities of the same series, of any authorized denomination as requested by such party in aggregate principal amount equal to and in exchange for such party's beneficial interest in the Global Security; and

(2)to such Depositary a new Global Security in a denomination equal to the difference, if any, between the principal amount of the surrendered Global Security and the aggregate principal amount of Securities delivered to Holders thereof.

Upon the exchange of the Global Security for Securities in definitive form, such Global Security shall be canceled by the Trustee. Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this Section 2.07 shall be registered in such names and in such authorized denominations as the Depositary for such Global Security, pursuant to instructions from its direct or indirect participants or otherwise, shall instruct the Trustee. The Trustee shall deliver such Securities to the parties in whose names such Securities are so registered.

SECTION 2.08. Replacement Securities. If the Holder of a Security claims that the Security has been mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen, the Corporation may issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a replacement Security of the same series with identical terms as the Securities exchanged if the requirements of Section 8-405 of the Uniform Commercial Code (or any successor provision) are met. Such Holder shall furnish an indemnity bond sufficient in the judgment of the Corporation and the Trustee to protect the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar from any loss which any of them may suffer if a Security is replaced. The Corporation and the Trustee may charge for their expenses in replacing a Security.

In case any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Security has become due and payable, the Corporation in its discretion may, instead of issuing a new Security, pay such Security (without surrender thereof except in the case of a mutilated Security) if the applicant for such payment shall furnish to the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar for such Security such security or indemnity as may be required by them to hold each of them harmless, and in case of destruction, loss or theft, evidence satisfactory to the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar, and any agent of any of them, of the destruction, loss or theft of such Security and the ownership thereof.

Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section 2.08, the Corporation may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses (including all fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Registrar and any co-registrar for such Security) connected therewith.

Every new Security of any series issued pursuant to this Section 2.08 in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security or in exchange for any mutilated Security, shall constitute an original additional obligation of the Corporation, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with any and all other Securities of the same series.

The provisions of this Section 2.08 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 2.09. Outstanding Securities. Securities outstanding at any time are all Securities authenticated by the Trustee (and, in the case of Global Securities, endorsed by the Trustee) except for those canceled by it, those delivered to it for cancellation and those described in this Section as not outstanding. A Security does not cease to be outstanding because the Corporation, the Guarantor or an affiliate of the Corporation or the Guarantor holds the Security.

If a Security is replaced pursuant to Section 2.08, it ceases to be outstanding unless the Trustee receives proof satisfactory to it that the replaced Security is held by a bona fide purchaser.

If the Paying Agent holds on a redemption date or maturity date money sufficient to pay Securities payable on that date, then on and after that date such Securities cease to be outstanding and interest on them ceases to accrue.

If a Security is called for redemption, the Corporation and the Trustee need not treat the Security as outstanding in determining whether Holders of the required principal amount of Securities have concurred in any direction, waiver or consent.

SECTION 2.10. Temporary Securities. Until definitive Securities of any series are ready for delivery or a permanent Global Security or Securities are prepared, as the case may be, the Corporation may prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate temporary Securities or one or more temporary Global Securities, as the case may be, of the same series, having endorsed thereon Guarantees duly executed by the Guarantor in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Indenture. Temporary Securities of any series shall be substantially in the form of definitive Securities or permanent Global Securities, as the case may be, of the same series, but may have variations that the Corporation considers appropriate for temporary Securities. Without unreasonable delay, the Corporation shall prepare and the Trustee shall authenticate definitive Securities or a permanent Global Security or Securities, as the case may be, of the same series in exchange for temporary Securities. Until so exchanged, the temporary Securities of any series shall be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as definitive Securities or permanent Global Securities of such series.

SECTION 2.11. Cancellation. The Corporation or the Guarantor at any time may deliver Securities to the Trustee for cancellation. The Registrar and the Paying Agent shall forward to the Trustee any Securities surrendered to them for transfer, exchange or payment. The Trustee and no one else shall cancel or destroy all Securities surrendered for transfer, exchange, payment or cancellation, and shall so certify to the Corporation. The Corporation may not issue new Securities to replace Securities it has paid or it has delivered to the Trustee for cancellation.

SECTION 2.12. Defaulted Interest. If the Corporation defaults in a payment of interest on any Securities of any series, it shall pay the defaulted interest to the persons who are Holders of those Securities on a subsequent special record date. The Corporation shall fix the special record date and the payment date in respect thereof. At least 15 days before the special record date, the Corporation shall mail to each Holder of Securities of that series a notice that states the special record date, the payment date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid. The Corporation may pay defaulted interest in any other lawful manner.

SECTION 2.13. Currency and Manner of Payments in Respect of Securities. (a) With respect to Securities of any series not permitting the election provided for in paragraph (b) below or the Holders of which have not made the election provided for in paragraph (b) below, except as provided in paragraph (d) below, payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on any Security of such series will be made in the currency or currency unit in which such Security is payable.

(b) It may be provided pursuant to Section 2.03 with respect to Securities of any series that Holders shall have the option, subject to paragraphs (d) and (e) below, to receive payments of principal of or interest, if any, on such Securities in any of the currencies or currency units which may be designated for such election by delivering to the Trustee for such series of Securities a written election with signature guarantees and in form and substance satisfactory to such Trustee, not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the applicable payment date. If a Holder so elects to receive such payments in any such currency or currency unit, such election will remain in effect for such Holder until changed by such Holder by written notice to the Trustee for such series of Securities (but any such change must be. made not later than the close of business on the Election Date immediately preceding the next payment date to be effective for the payment to be made on such payment date and no such change of election may be made with respect to payments to be made on any Security of such series with respect to which an Event of Default has occurred or notice of redemption has been given by the Corporation pursuant to Article 3). In the event any Holder makes any such election pursuant to the preceding sentence, such election will not be effective on any transferee of such Holder and such transferee shall be paid in the currency or currency unit indicated pursuant to paragraph (a) above unless such transferee makes an election pursuant to the preceding sentence; provided, however, that such election, if in effect while funds are on deposit with respect to the Securities of such series as described in Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03, will be effective on any transferee of such Holder unless otherwise specified

pursuant to Section 2.03 for the Securities of such series. Any Holder of any such Security who shall not have delivered any such election to the Trustee of such series of Securities not later than the close of business on the applicable Election Date will be paid the amount due on the applicable payment date in the relevant currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (a) of this Section. In no case may a Holder of Securities of any series elect to receive payments in any currency or currency unit as described in this Section 2.13(b) following a deposit of funds with respect to the Securities of such series as described in Section 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03.

(c)If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 2.03, then not later than the fourth Business Day after the Election Date for each payment date for Securities of any series, the Currency Determination Agent for that series will deliver to the Corporation a written notice specifying, in the currency or currency unit in which Securities of such series are payable, the respective aggregate amounts of principal of and interest, if any, on the Securities to be made on such payment date, and specifying the amounts in such currency or currency unit so payable with respect to the Securities of such series as to which the Holders thereof shall have elected to be paid in a currency or currency unit other than that in which such series is denominated as provided in paragraph (b) above. If the election referred to in paragraph (b) above has been provided for pursuant to Section 2.03 and if at least one Holder has made such election, then, on the second Business Day preceding such payment date the Corporation will deliver to the Trustee for such series of Securities an Exchange Rate Officers' Certificate with respect to the Dollar, Foreign Currency, ECU or currency unit payments to be made on such payment date. The Dollar, Foreign Currency, ECU or currency unit amount receivable by Holders of Securities who have elected payment in a currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above shall, unless otherwise provided pursuant to Section 2.03, be determined by the Corporation on the basis of the applicable Market Exchange Rate in effect on the third Business Day (the "Valuation Date") immediately preceding each payment date.

(d)If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to a Foreign Currency, the ECU or any other currency unit in which any of the Securities are denominated or payable other than pursuant to an election provided for pursuant to paragraph (b) above, then with respect to each date for the payment of principal of and interest, if any, on the applicable Securities denominated or payable in such Foreign Currency, the ECU or such other currency unit occurring after the last date on which such Foreign Currency, the ECU or such other currency unit was available (the "Conversion Date"), the Dollar shall be the currency of payment for use on each such payment date. The Dollar amount to be paid by the Corporation to the Trustee of each such series of Securities and by such Trustee or any Paying Agent to the Holders of such Securities with respect to such payment date shall be the amount that would have been payable in Foreign Currency or currency units but expressed in Dollars according to the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency or, in the case of a currency unit, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, in each case as determined by the Currency Determination Agent in the manner provided in paragraph (f) or (g) below.

(e)If the Holder of a Security denominated in any currency or currency unit shall have elected to be paid in another currency or currency unit as provided in paragraph (b) above, and a Conversion Event occurs with respect to such elected currency or currency unit, such Holder shall receive payment in the currency or currency unit in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election. If a Conversion Event occurs with respect to the currency or currency unit in which payment would have been made in the absence of such election, such Holder shall receive payment in Dollars as provided in paragraph (d) above.

(f)The "Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency" shall be determined by the Currency Determination Agent and shall be obtained for each subsequent payment after the Conversion Date by converting the specified Foreign Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate on the Conversion Date.

(g)The "Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit" shall be determined by the Currency Determination Agent and subject to the provisions of paragraph (h) below shall be the sum of each amount obtained by converting the Specified Amount of each Component Currency into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate for such Component Currency on the Valuation Date with respect to each payment.

(h)For purposes of this Section 2.13 the following terms shall have the following meanings:

A "Component Currency'' shall mean any currency which, on the Conversion Date, was a component currency of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU.

A "Specified Amount" of a Component Currency shall mean the number of units of such Component Currency or fractions thereof which were represented in the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, on the Conversion Date. If after the Conversion Date the official unit of any Component Currency is altered by way of combination or subdivision, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be divided or multiplied in the same proportion. If after the Conversion Date two or more Component Currencies are consolidated into a single currency, the respective Specified Amounts of such Component Currencies shall be replaced by an amount in such single currency equal to the sum of the respective Specified Amounts of such consolidated Component Currencies expressed in such single currency, and such amount shall thereafter be a Specified Amount and such single currency shall thereafter be a Component Currency. If after the Conversion Date any Component Currency shall be divided into two or more currencies, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall be replaced by amounts of such two or more currencies, each of whose Dollar Equivalent at the Market Exchange Rate on the date of such replacement shall be equal to the Dollar Equivalent of the Specified Amount of such former Component Currency at the Market Exchange Rate on such date divided by the number of currencies into which such Component Currency was divided, and such amounts shall thereafter be Specified Amounts and such currencies shall thereafter be Component Currencies. If, after the Conversion Date of the relevant currency unit, including, but not limited to, the ECU, a Conversion Event (other than any event referred to above in this definition of "Specified Amount") occurs with respect to any Component Currency of such currency unit and is continuing on the applicable Valuation Date, the Specified Amount of such Component Currency shall, for purposes of calculating the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, be converted into Dollars at the Market Exchange Rate in effect on the Conversion Date of such Component Currency.

"Election Date" shall mean any date for any series of Securities as specified pursuant to Section 2.03(11) by which the written election referred to in Section 2.13(b) may be made, such date to be not later than the regular record date for the earliest payment for which such election may be effective.

All decisions and determinations of the Currency Determination Agent regarding the Dollar Equivalent of the Foreign Currency, the Dollar Equivalent of the Currency Unit, the Market Exchange Rate and changes in the Specified Amounts as specified above shall be in its sole discretion and shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all purposes and irrevocably binding upon the Corporation, the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities and all Holders of such Securities denominated or payable in the relevant currency or currency units. The Currency Determination Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Corporation and the Trustee for the appropriate series of Securities of any such decision or determination.

In the event of a Conversion Event with respect to a Foreign Currency, the Corporation, after learning thereof, will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and the Currency Determination Agent with respect to such series (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date. In the event of a Conversion Event with respect to the ECU or any other currency unit in which Securities are denominated or payable, the Corporation, after learning thereof, will immediately give written notice thereof to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and the Currency Determination Agent with respect to such series (and such Trustee will promptly thereafter give notice to the Holders) specifying the Conversion Date and the Specified Amount of each Component Currency on the Conversion Date. In the event of any subsequent change in any Component Currency as set forth in the definition of Specified Amount above, the Corporation, after learning thereof, will similarly give written notice to the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities and the Currency Determination Agent.

The Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities shall be fully justified and protected in relying and acting upon information received by it from the Corporation and the Currency Determination Agent and shall not otherwise have any duty or obligation to determine such information independently.

SECTION 2.14. Appointment and Resignation of Currency Determination Agent. (a) If and so long as the Securities of any series (i) are denominated in a currency unit or a currency other than Dollars or (ii) may be payable in a currency unit or a currency other than Dollars, or so long as it is required under any other provision of this Indenture, then the Corporation will maintain with respect to each such series of Securities, or as so required, a Currency Determination Agent. The Corporation will cause the Currency Determination Agent to make the necessary foreign exchange determinations at the time and in the manner specified pursuant to Section 2.03 for the purpose of determining the applicable rate of exchange and for the purpose of converting the issued currency or currency unit into the applicable payment currency or currency unit for the payment of principal and interest, if any, pursuant to Section 2.13.

(b) No resignation of the Currency Determination Agent and no appointment of a successor Currency Determination Agent pursuant to this Section shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the successor Currency Determination Agent as evidenced by a written instrument delivered to the Corporation and the Trustee of the appropriate series of Securities accepting such appointment executed by the successor Currency Determination Agent.

(c) If the Currency Determination Agent shall resign, be removed or become incapable of acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of the Currency Determination Agent for any cause, with respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Corporation, by a Board Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Currency Determination Agent or Currency Determination Agents with respect to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such successor Currency Determination Agent may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more or all of such series and that at any time there shall only be one Currency Determination Agent with respect to the Securities of any particular series).

If the Corporation wants to redeem any Securities, it shall notify the Trustee of the redemption date and the principal amount of Securities to be redeemed in accordance with the terms of the Securities. If the redemption is of less than all the outstanding Securities of a series, the Corporation shall furnish to the Trustee a written statement signed by an Officer of the Corporation stating that with respect to that series there exists no Event of Default and no circumstance which, after notice or the passage of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default. The Corporation shall give the notice provided for in this Section at least 50 days before the redemption date.

SECTION 3.03. Selection of Securities to be Redeemed. If, at the option of the Corporation, less than all the Securities of a series are to be redeemed, the Trustee shall select the Securities to be redeemed by a method the Trustee considers fair and appropriate, subject to any applicable stock exchange requirements. The Trustee shall make the selection from outstanding Securities not previously called for redemption. The Trustee may select for redemption portions of the principal of Securities that have a denomination larger than $1,000 (or the applicable minimum denomination for such Securities in the event the Securities are payable in ECUs or a Foreign Currency or Currencies). Securities and portions of them it selects shall be in amounts of $1,000 (or the applicable minimum denomination for such Securities in the event the Securities are payable in ECUs or a Foreign Currency or Currencies) or a multiple of $1,000 (or the applicable minimum denomination for such Securities in the event the Securities are payable in ECUs or a Foreign Currency or Currencies).

Provisions of this Indenture that apply to Securities called for redemption also apply to portions of Securities called for redemption.

The Trustee for the Securities of any series to be redeemed shall promptly notify the Corporation in writing of the Securities of such series selected for redemption and, in the case of any Securities selected for partial redemption, the principal amount thereof to be redeemed.

For all purposes of this Indenture, unless the context otherwise requires, all provisions relating to the redemption of Securities shall relate, in the case of any Security redeemed or to be redeemed only in part, to the portion of the principal amount of such Securities which has been or is to be redeemed.

(1) the redemption date;


(2)	the redemption price;


(3)	the name and address of the Paying Agent;

(4) that Securities called for redemption must be surrendered to the Paying Agent to collect the redemption price; and

(5) that interest, if any, on Securities called for redemption ceases to accrue on and after the redemption date.

At the Corporation's request, the Trustee shall give the notice of redemption in the Corporation's name and at its expense. In such event the Corporation will provide the Trustee with the information required by clauses (1) through (5) above.

SECTION 3.05. Effect of Notice of Redemption. Once notice of redemption is mailed, Securities called for redemption become due and payable on the redemption date and at the redemption price stated in the notice. Upon surrender to the Paying Agent, such Securities shall be paid at the redemption price stated in the notice, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date; provided, however, that any regular payment of interest becoming due on the redemption date shall be payable to the Holder of any such Security being redeemed as provided in the Security.

SECTION 3.06. Deposit of Redemption Price. By the opening of business on the redemption date, the Corporation shall deposit with the Paying Agent money sufficient to pay the redemption price of and accrued interest, if any, on all Securities to be redeemed at the option of the Corporation on that date.

ARTICLE 5

SUCCESSOR CORPORATION

SECTION 5.01. When the Corporation or the Guarantor May Merge, etc.

(a) Neither the Corporation nor the Guarantor shall consolidate with or merge into, or transfer all or substantially all its assets to another corporation, unless (1) the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation assumes by supplemental indenture all the obligations of the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, under the Securities or the Guarantees and this Indenture, (2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction no Event of Default and no circumstances which, after notice or lapse of time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing, and (3) the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall have delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such consolidation, merger or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this Indenture, and thereafter all such obligations of the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, shall terminate.

(b) In the event that (1) the Corporation and the Guarantor shall consolidate with each other into another corporation, (2) the Corporation shall merge into the Guarantor or vice versa, or (3) the Corporation shall transfer all or substantially all of its assets to the Guarantor or vice versa, then, upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 5.01(a), the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation shall be substituted for the Corporation under this Indenture and the Guarantees shall terminate and be of no further effect.

SECTION 5.02. When Securities Must be Secured. If upon any such consolidation, merger or transfer a Restricted Property would become subject to an attaching Lien that secures Debt, then, before the consolidation, merger or transfer occurs, the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, by supplemental indenture shall secure the Securities by a direct lien on the Restricted Property. The direct Lien shall have priority over all Liens on the Restricted Property except those already on it. The direct Lien may equally and ratably secure the Securities or the Guarantees and any other obligation of the Corporation, the Guarantor or a Subsidiary. However, the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, need not comply with this Section if:

(1)upon the consolidation, merger or transfer the attaching Lien will secure the Securities or the Guarantees, as the case may be, equally and ratably with or prior to Debt secured by the attaching Lien; or

(2)the Corporation or the Guarantor or a Restricted Subsidiary under any of the clauses (2) through (11) of Section 4.03 could create a Lien on the Restricted Property to secure Debt at least equal in amount to that secured by the attaching Lien.

ARTICLE 6

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES

SECTION 6.01. Events of Default. An "Event of Default" occurs with respect to a series of Securities if:

(1)the Corporation defaults in the payment of interest on any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable and the default continues for a period of 30 days;

(2)the Corporation defaults in the payment of the principal of any Security of that series when the same becomes due and payable at maturity, upon redemption or otherwise;

(3)the Corporation or the Guarantor fails to comply with any of its other agreements in the Guarantees or the Securities of that series or this Indenture for the benefit of that series and the default continues for the period and after the notice specified in this Section;

(4)the Corporation or the Guarantor pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law:

(A) commences a voluntary case,

(B) consents to the entry of an order for relief against it in an involuntary case,

(D) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors;

(5)a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that:

(A) is for relief against the Corporation or the Guarantor in an involuntary case,

(B) appoints a Custodian of the Corporation or the Guarantor or for all or substantially all of the property of the Corporation or the Guarantor, or

and the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 60 days; or

(6)there occurs any other event specifically described as an Event of Default by the Securities of that series.

The term "Bankruptcy Law" means Xxxxx 00, Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code, or any similar Federal or state law for the relief of debtors. The term "Custodian" means any receiver, trustee, assignee, liquidator, custodian or similar official under any Bankruptcy Law.

A default under clause (3) is not an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities until the Trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series notify the Corporation and the Guarantor of the default and the Corporation or the Guarantor, as the case may be, does not cure the default within 90 days after receipt of the notice. The notice must specify the default, demand that it be remedied and state that the notice is a "Notice of Default." Subject to Sections 7.01 and 7.02 the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any default unless written notice thereof shall have been given to the Trustee by the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Paying Agent, the Holder of a Security or an agent of such Holder.

SECTION 6.02. Acceleration. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee, by notice to the Corporation and the Guarantor or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series by notice to the Corporation, the Guarantor and the Trustee, may declare the principal (or, in the case of Discounted Securities, such amount of principal as may be provided for in such Securities) of and accrued interest, if any, on all the Securities of that series to be due and payable immediately. Upon such a declaration such principal and interest, if any, shall be due and payable immediately. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series by notice to the Trustee may rescind an acceleration (and upon such rescission any Event of Default caused by such acceleration shall be deemed cured) with respect to that series and its consequences if all existing Events of Default with respect to the series have been cured or waived, if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree, and if all payments due to the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee under Section 7.07 have been made.

SECTION 6.03. Other Remedies. If an Event of Default with respect to a series of Securities occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may pursue any available remedy by proceeding at law or in equity to collect the payment of principal of (or, in the case of Discounted Securities, such amount of principal as may be provided for in such Securities) or interest, if any, on the Securities of that series or to enforce the performance of any provision of such Securities or this Indenture.

The Trustee may maintain a proceeding even if it does not possess any of the Securities or does not produce any of them in the proceeding. A delay or omission by the Trustee or any Securityholder in exercising any right or remedy accruing upon an Event of Default shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of acquiescence in the Event of Default. No remedy is, exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies are cumulative to the extent permitted by law.

SECTION 6.04. Waiver of Past Defaults. Subject to Section 9.02 the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series by notice to the Trustee may waive an existing Default or Event of Default with respect to that series and its consequences. When a Default or Event of Default is waived, it is cured and stops continuing, but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Default or Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

SECTION 6.05. Control by Majority. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of a series may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or of exercising any trust or power conferred on it with respect to that series. However, the Trustee may refuse to follow any direction that conflicts with law or this Indenture, or, subject to Section 7.01, that the Trustee determines is unduly prejudicial to the rights of other Holders of Securities of the same series or would involve the Trustee in personal liability.

SECTION 6.06. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of a Security of any series may pursue any remedy with respect to this Indenture or the Securities unless:

(1) the Holder gives to the Trustee written notice stating that an Event of Default with respect to the Securities of the series is continuing;

(2)the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Securities of that series make a written request to the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

(3)such Holder or Holders offer to the Trustee indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense;

(4)the Trustee does not comply with the request within 60 days after receipt of the request and the offer of indemnity; and

(5)during such 60-day period the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series do not give the Trustee a direction inconsistent with the request.

A Securityholder may not use this Indenture to prejudice the rights of another Securityholder or to obtain a preference or priority over any other Securityholder.

SECTION 6.07. Rights of Holders to Receive Payment. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of and interest, if any, on the Security on or after the respective due dates expressed in the Security, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective date, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of the Holder.

SECTION 6.08. Collection Suit by Trustee. If an Event of Default in payment of interest or principal specified in Section 6.01(1) or (2) occurs and is continuing, subject to Sections 6.02 and 6.04 the Trustee may recover judgment in its own name and as trustee of an express trust against the Corporation and the Guarantor for the whole amount of principal and interest, if any, remaining unpaid.

SECTION 6.09. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. The Trustee may file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Trustee and the Securityholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Corporation or the Guarantor, or any of their creditors or property, and unless prohibited by law or applicable regulations, may vote on behalf of the Holders in any election of a trustee in bankruptcy or other person performing similar functions.

SECTION 6.10. Priorities. If the Trustee collects any money pursuant to this Article with respect to the Securities of any series, it shall pay out the money in the following order:

First: to the Trustee for amounts due under Section 7.07;

Second: to Holders of Securities of that series for amounts due and unpaid on such Securities for principal and interest, if any, ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on such Securities for principal and interest, if any, respectively; and

Third: to the Corporation.

The Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any payment to Securityholders pursuant to this Section.

SECTION 6.11. Undertaking for Costs. 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, a court in its discretion may require the filing by any party litigant in the suit other than the Trustee of an undertaking to pay the costs of the suit, and the court in its discretion may assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in the suit including the Trustee, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by the party litigant. This Section does not apply to a suit by the Trustee, a suit by a Holder pursuant to Section 6.07 or a suit by Holders of more than 10% in principal amount of the Securities of any series.

ARTICLE 7

TRUSTEE

SECTION 7.01. Duties of Trustee.

(b)Except during the continuance of an Event of Default:

(1) the Trustee need perform only those duties that are specifically set forth in this Indenture and no others; and

(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon certificates, notices or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Indenture. However, the Trustee shall examine the certificates, notices and opinions to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of this Indenture.

(d)Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates to the Trustee is subject to paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of this Section.

(e)The Trustee may refuse to perform any duty or exercise any right or power unless it receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

(f)The Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received by it except as the Trustee may agree with the Corporation.

(c)The Trustee may act through agents and shall not be responsible for the misconduct or negligence of any agent appointed with due care.

(d)The Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.

SECTION 7.03. Individual Rights of Trustee, etc. The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Securities and may otherwise deal with the Corporation, the Guarantor or any of their affiliates with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee. Any Agent may do the same with like rights. However, the Trustee must comply with Sections 7.10 and 7.11.

SECTION 7.04. Trustee's Disclaimer. The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or adequacy of this Indenture or the Securities or the Guarantees, it shall not be accountable for the Corporation's use of the proceeds from the Securities, and it shall not be responsible for any statement in the Securities or in the Guarantees other than its certificate of authentication.

SECTION 7.05. Notice of Defaults. If a Default occurs with respect to a series of Securities and is continuing and if it is known to the Trustee, the Trustee shall mail to each Holder of Securities of that series notice of the Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of a default in payment on any Security, the Trustee may withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Trust Officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of such Holders.

SECTION 7.06. Reports by Trustee to Holders. If required pursuant to TIA Section 313(a), the Trustee, within 60 days after each May 15, shall mail to each Securityholder a brief report dated as of May 15 that complies with TIA Section 313(a).

SECTION 7.07. Compensation and Indemnity. The Corporation shall pay to the Trustee from time to time reasonable compensation for its services. The Corporation shall reimburse the Trustee upon request for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses of the Trustee's agents and counsel.

When the Trustee incurs expenses or renders services after an Event of Default specified in Section 6.01(4) or (5) occurs, the expenses and the compensation for the services are intended to constitute expenses of administration under any Bankruptcy Law.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of any series may remove the Trustee with respect to that series by so notifying the removed Trustee and may appoint a successor Trustee with the Corporation's consent. The Corporation may remove the Trustee if:

(1)the Trustee fails to comply with Section 7.10;


(2)	the Trustee is adjudged a bankrupt or an insolvent;

(3)a receiver or other public officer takes charge of the Trustee or its property; or


(4)	the Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of acting.

If the Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in the office of trustee for any reason, the Corporation shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee.

A successor Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its appointment to the retiring Trustee and to the Corporation. Immediately after that, the retiring Trustee shall transfer all property held by it as Trustee for the benefit of the series with respect to which it is retiring to the successor Trustee, the resignation or removal of the retiring Trustee shall then become effective, and the successor Trustee shall have all the rights, powers and duties of the Trustee under this Indenture with respect to that series. A successor Trustee shall mail notice of its succession to each Holder of the Securities of the series affected.

If pursuant to Section 2.03(5) a trustee, other than the Trustee initially named in this Indenture (or any successor thereto), is appointed with respect to one or more series of Securities, the Corporation, the Guarantor, the Trustee initially named in this Indenture (or any successor thereto) and such newly appointed trustee shall execute and deliver a supplement to this Indenture which shall contain such provisions as shall be necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the Trustee initially named in this Indenture (or any successor thereto) with respect to the Securities of any series as to which the Trustee is continuing as trustee hereunder shall continue to be vested in the Trustee initially named in this Indenture (or any successor thereto), and shall add to, supplement or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one trustee, it being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall constitute such trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts relating to the separate series of Securities as if it were acting under a separate indenture.

If a successor Trustee with respect to a series of Securities does not take office within 60 days after the retiring Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring Trustee, the Corporation or the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of that series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities fails to comply with Section 7.10, any Holder of Securities of that series may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee.

If there are two or more Trustees at any time under this Indenture, each will be the Trustee of a separate trust held under this Indenture for the benefit of the series of Securities for which it is acting as Trustee and the rights and obligations of each Trustee will be determined as if it were acting under a separate indenture.

Successor Trustee by Merger, etc. If the Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into or transfers all or substantially all its corporate trust assets to another corporation, the resulting, surviving or transferee corporation without any further act shall be the successor Trustee.

The Trustee shall comply with TIA Section 310(b), provided that the question whether the Trustee has a conflicting interest shall be determined as if each series of Securities were separate issues of securities issued under separate indentures. First Trust of Illinois, National Association also is the trustee under (i) an indenture dated March 15, 1981, under which the Corporation (as successor by merger to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Corporation) has issued $175,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7% Xxxxxxxxxx xxx 0000, (xx) an indenture dated March 17, 1988, under which the Corporation (as successor by merger to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Corporation) has issued $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9% Notes due 2003, (iii) an indenture dated March 15, 1993, under which the Corporation (as successor by merger to Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Corporation) has issued $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6 1/2% Notes due 2003, $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7 3/8% Debentures due 2013 and $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7 3/4% Debentures due 2023, (iv) an indenture dated January 15, 1992, under which the Guarantor has issued $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9.125% Debentures due 2022 and (v) an indenture dated September 1, 1993, under which the Guarantor has issued $250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% Notes due 2004, $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 8.375% Debentures due 2024 and $150,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 7.625% Debentures due 2025.

Notwithstanding the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture, the obligations of the Corporation under Sections 2.04, 2.05, 2.06, 2.07, 2.08, 2.10, 7.07 and 7.08 with respect to the Securities of that series shall survive until the Securities of that series are no longer outstanding. Thereafter, the Corporation's obligations in Section 7.07 shall survive.

"U.S. Government Obligations" means the following obligations:

(1) direct obligations of the United States for the payment of which its full faith and credit is pledged; or

(2) obligations of a person controlled or supervised by and acting as an agency or instrumentality of the United States the payment of which is unconditionally guaranteed as a full faith and credit obligation by the United States.

SECTION 8.03. Defeasance of Certain Obligations. The Corporation may take any action provided for in this Section unless the Securities of the affected series specifically provide that this Section shall not apply to the series. The Corporation and the Guarantor at any time at their option may cease to be under any obligation to comply with Sections 4.03, 4.04, 4.06, 5.01 and 5.02 with respect to Securities of a series effective on the date the following conditions are satisfied:

(1)with reference to this Section, the Corporation has deposited or caused to be deposited with the Trustee irrevocably, as trust funds in trust, specifically pledged as security for and dedicated solely to the

benefit of the Holders of the Securities of that series, (a) lawful money, in the currency or currencies in which Securities of that series are payable, in an amount, or (b) if the Securities of that series are payable in Dollars, U.S. Government Obligations which through the payment of interest and principal in respect thereof in accordance with their terms (and, as to callable U.S. Government Obligations, regardless of when they are called) will provide not later than the opening of business on the due dates of any payment of principal of and interest on the Securities of that series lawful money of the United States in an amount, or (c) Securities of that issue, or (d) a combination thereof, sufficient to pay and discharge the principal of and interest on the Securities of that series on the day on which such payments are due and payable in accordance with the terms of this Indenture and of the Securities of that series; and

(2)the Corporation has delivered to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel complying with Section 11.04 relating to the Corporation's exercise of such option.

The Corporation's exercise of its option under this Section shall not preclude the Corporation from subsequently exercising its option under Section 8.02 hereof and the Corporation may so exercise that option by providing the Trustee with written notice to such effect.

SECTION 8.04. Application of Trust Money. The Trustee shall hold in trust money, U.S. Government Obligations, and Securities of that series deposited with it pursuant to Sections 8.01, 8.02 or 8.03. It shall apply the deposited money and U.S. Government Obligations through the Paying Agent and in accordance with this Indenture, to the payment of principal and interest, if any, on the Securities of the series for the payment of which such money and U.S. Government Obligations has been deposited. The Holder of any Security replaced pursuant to Section 2.08 shall not be entitled to any such payment and shall look only to the Corporation for any payment which such Holder may be entitled to collect. In connection with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture or the defeasance of certain obligations under this Indenture with respect to Securities of a series pursuant to Section 8.02 or Section 8.03 hereof, respectively, the escrow trust agreement may, at the Corporation's election, (1) enable the Corporation to direct the Trustee to invest any money received by the Trustee on the U.S. Government Obligations deposited in trust thereunder in additional U.S. Government Obligations and (2) enable the Corporation to withdraw monies or U.S. Government Obligations from the trust from time to time; provided, that the condition specified in Section 8.02(1) or 8.03(1) is satisfied immediately following any investment of such money by the Trustee or the withdrawal of monies or U.S. Government Obligations from the trust by the Corporation as the case may be.

SECTION 8.05. Repayment to Corporation. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall promptly pay to the Corporation upon request any excess money or securities held by them at any time. The Trustee and the Paying Agent shall pay, unless otherwise prohibited by mandatory provisions of applicable escheat or abandoned or unclaimed property law, to the Corporation upon request any money held by them for the payment of principal or interest, if any, that remains unclaimed for two years.

ARTICLE 9

AMENDMENTS, SUPPLEMENTS AND WAIVERS

SECTION 9.01. Without Consent of Holders. The Corporation and the Guarantor may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or consent of any Securityholder:

(1) to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency;

(2) to comply with Article 5;

(3) to provide for uncertificated Securities in addition to or in place of certificated Securities;

(4) to effectuate or comply with the provisions of Section 2.03(5) or 7.08;

(5) to change or eliminate any of the provisions of this Indenture; provided, however, that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there is no outstanding Security of any series created prior to the execution of such amendment or supplement that is entitled to the benefit of such provision;

(6)to make any change that does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of any Security of that series; or

(7)to add or change or eliminate any provisions of this Indenture as shall be necessary or desirable in accordance with any amendments to the TIA.

The Trustee may waive compliance by the Corporation or the Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of any series without notice to or consent of any Securityholder if the waiver does not materially adversely affect the rights of any Holder of any Securities of that series.

SECTION 9.02. With Consent of Holders. The Corporation and the Guarantor may amend or supplement this Indenture or the Securities without notice to any Securityholder but with the written consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series affected and the Trustee shall execute any such amendment or supplement at the direction of the Corporation and the Guarantor. The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the Securities of each series affected may waive compliance by the Corporation or the Guarantor with any provision of this Indenture or the Securities of each such series or the related Guarantees without notice to any Securityholder. However, without the consent of each Securityholder affected, an amendment, supplement or waiver, including a waiver pursuant to Section 6.04, may not:

(1)reduce the amount of Securities of any series whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2)reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest on any Security;

(3)reduce the principal of or extend the fixed maturity of any Security;

(4)reduce the portion of the principal amount of a Discounted Security payable upon acceleration of its maturity; or

(5)make any Security payable in a currency or currency unit other than that stated in the Security.

It shall not be necessary for any Act of Holders under this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed supplement or amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

SECTION 9.03. Compliance with Trust Indenture Act of 1939. Every amendment to or supplement of this Indenture or the Securities shall comply with the TIA as then in effect.

SECTION 9.04. Revocation and Effect of Consents. A consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver by a Holder of a Security shall bind the Holder and every subsequent Holder of that Security or portion of the Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security, even if notation of the consent is not made on the Security. However, any such Holder or subsequent Holder may revoke the consent as to his Security or portion of the Security. The Trustee must receive the notice of revocation before the date the amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective.

After an amendment, supplement or waiver becomes effective, it shall bind every Securityholder unless it makes a change described in clauses (2), (3), (4) or (5) of Section 9.02. In that case the amendment, supplement or waiver shall bind each Holder of a Security who has consented to it and every subsequent Holder of a Security or portion of a Security that evidences the same debt as the consenting Holder's Security.

SECTION 9.05. Notation on or Exchange of Securities. If an amendment, supplement or waiver changes the terms of a Security, the Trustee may require the Holder of the Security to deliver it to the Trustee. The Trustee may place an appropriate notation on the Security about the changed terms and return it to the Holder. Alternatively, if the Corporation or the Trustee so determine, the Corporation in exchange for the Security shall issue and the Trustee shall authenticate a new Security that reflects the changed terms.

SECTION 9.06. Trustee to Sign Amendments, etc. The Trustee shall sign any amendment, supplement or waiver authorized pursuant to this Article if the amendment, supplement or waiver does not adversely affect the rights, duties, liabilities or immunities of the Trustee. If it does, the Trustee may but need not sign it. In signing such amendment, supplement or waiver the Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and (subject to Section 7.01) shall be fully protected in relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that such amendment, supplement or waiver is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. Neither the Corporation nor the Guarantor may sign an amendment or supplement unless authorized by an appropriate Board Resolution.

ARTICLE 10

SECTION 10.01. Unconditional Guarantee. The Guarantor hereby fully and unconditionally guarantees to each Holder of a Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee, and to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether by declaration thereof or otherwise in accordance with the terms of such Security and of this Indenture.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be as if it were principal debtor and not merely surety and shall be absolute and unconditional, irrespective of, and shall be unaffected by, any invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability of any such Security or this Indenture, any failure to enforce the provisions of any such Security or this Indenture, any waiver, modification or indulgence granted to the Corporation with respect thereto, by the Holder of such Security or the Trustee, or any other circumstances that otherwise may constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or guarantor; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, no such waiver, modification, indulgence or circumstance shall, without the consent of the Guarantor, increase the principal amount of a Security or the interest rate thereon or increase any premium payable upon redemption thereof. The Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guarantee shall be enforceable without any demand, suit or proceeding first against the Corporation. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of merger or bankruptcy of the Corporation, any right to require a proceeding first against the Corporation, protest or notice with respect to any such Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund payment required

The Guarantor will be subrogated to all rights of the Holder against the Corporation in respect of any amount paid by the Guarantor pursuant to the provisions of the Guarantee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall not be entitled to enforce, or to receive any payments arising out of or based upon, such right of subrogation until the principal of and interest, if any, on such Security shall have been paid in full.

The Guarantee set forth in this Section 10.01 shall not be valid or become obligatory for any purpose with respect to a Security until the certificate of authentication on such Security shall have been signed by the Trustee.

SECTION 10.02. Execution and Delivery of Guarantees. Subject to Section 2.01, the Guarantor hereby agrees to execute the Guarantee in substantially the form set forth in Section 10.03 to be endorsed on each Security authenticated and delivered by the Trustee. The delivery of such Security by the Trustee, after the authentication thereof hereunder, shall constitute due delivery of such Guarantee on behalf of the Guarantor.

SECTION 10.03. Form of Guarantee. Guarantees to be endorsed on the Securities shall, subject to Section 2.01, be in substantially the form set forth below:

GUARANTEE OF LOCKHEED XXXXXX TACTICAL SYSTEMS, INC.

The Guarantor hereby agrees that this Guarantee shall be enforceable without any demand, suit or proceeding first against the Corporation. The Guarantor hereby waives diligence, presentment, demand of payment, filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of the Corporation, any right to require a proceeding first against the Corporation, protest or notice with respect to said Security or the indebtedness evidenced thereby or with respect to any sinking fund payment required by the terms of said Security and all demands whatsoever, and covenants that this Guarantee will not be discharged except in accordance with certain provisions set forth in the Indenture or by payment in full of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest, if any, on said Security.

SECTION 11.11. No Recourse Against Others. A director, officer, employee or stockholder (other than the Corporation as issuer of the Debt Securities), as such, of the Corporation or the Guarantor shall not have any liability for any obligation of the Corporation or the Guarantor under the Securities or the Guarantees or the Indenture or for any claim based on, with respect to or by reason of such obligations or their creation. All such liability is waived and released as a condition of, and as partial consideration for, the execution of this Indenture, the issue of the Securities and the execution of the Guarantees.

SECTION 11.12. Securities in a Foreign Currency. Unless otherwise specified in an Officers' Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Indenture with respect to a particular series of Securities, whenever for purposes of this Indenture any action may be taken by the holders of a specified percentage in aggregate principal amount of Securities of all series at the time outstanding and, at such time, there are outstanding Securities of any series which are denominated in a Foreign Currency, then the principal amount of Securities of such series which shall be deemed to be outstanding for the purpose of taking such action shall be that amount of Dollars that could be obtained for such amount at the Market Exchange Rate on the record date fixed for such action or, if no record date is fixed, on the New York Banking Day immediately preceding the date of such action.

If pursuant to any such judgment, conversion shall be made on a date (the "Substitute Date") other than the Judgment Date and there shall occur a change between the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date and the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Substitute Date, the Corporation agrees to pay such additional amounts (if any) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount paid is equal to the amount in such other currency or currency unit which, when converted at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date, is the amount due hereunder or under such Security or coupon. Any amount due from the Corporation under this Section shall be due as a separate debt and is not to be affected by or merged into any judgment being obtained for any other sums due hereunder or with respect to any Security or coupon. In no event, however, shall the Corporation be required to pay more in the currency or currency unit due hereunder or under such Security or coupon at the Market Exchange Rate as in effect on the Judgment Date than the amount of currency or currency unit stated to be due hereunder or under such Security or coupon so that in any event the Corporation's obligations hereunder or under such Security or coupon will be effectively maintained as obligations in such currency or currency unit, and the Corporation shall be entitled to withhold (or be reimbursed for, as the case may be) any excess of the amount actually realized upon any such conversion on the Substitute Date over the amount due and payable on the Judgment Date.

SECTION 11.14. Successors. All agreements of the Corporation and the Guarantor in this Indenture and the Securities and the related Guarantees shall bind its successor. All agreements of the Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successor.

SECTION 11.15. Duplicate Originals. The parties may sign any number of copies of this Indenture. One signed copy is enough to prove this Indenture.

SECTION 11.16. Acts of Holders; Record Dates.

(a)Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by agent duly appointed in writing; and, except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the Trustee and, where it is hereby expressly required, to the Corporation. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 7.1(e)) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Corporation, if made in the manner provided in this Section.

(b)The fact and date of the execution by any Person of any such instrument or writing may be proved by the affidavit of a witness of such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds, certifying that the individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to such officer the execution thereof. Where such execution is a by a signer acting in a capacity other than such signer's individual capacity, such certificate or affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of such signer's authority. The fact and date of the execution of any such instrument or writing, or the authority of the Person executing the same, may also be proved in any other manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

(c)The Corporation may, in the circumstances permitted by the TIA, fix any day as the record date for the purpose of determining the Holders of Securities of any series entitled to give or take any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, or to vote on any action, authorized or permitted to be given or taken by Holders of Securities of such series. If not set by the Corporation prior to the first solicitation of a Holder of Securities of such series made by any person in respect of any such action, or, in the case of any such vote, prior to such vote, the record date for any such action or vote shall be the 30th day (or, if later, the date of the most recent list of Holders required to be provided pursuant to Section 2.6) prior to such first solicitation or vote, as the case may be. With regard to any record date for action to be taken by the Holders of one or more series of Securities, only the Holders of Securities of such series on such date (or their duly designated proxies) shall be entitled to give or take, or vote on, the relevant action.
