DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following description of the terms of the Debt Securities summarizes
certain general terms and provisions of the Debt Securities to which any
Prospectus Supplement may relate. The particular terms of the Debt Securities
and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions may apply to any series
of Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
such series.
The Debt Securities are to be issued under one or more Indentures
(collectively, the "Indenture") between the Company and Chemical Bank, as
trustee or such other trustee as shall be named in a Prospectus Supplement (the
"Trustee"). The following statements are subject to the detailed provisions of
the Indenture, a form of which is filed as an exhibit to the Registration
Statement. Wherever any particular provisions of the Indenture or terms defined
therein are referred to, such provisions and terms are incorporated by reference
as a part of the statements made herein and such statements are qualified in
their entirety by such references. References to particular sections of the
Indenture are noted below. Defined terms used herein but not defined herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Indenture.
GENERAL
The Debt Securities may be either Senior Securities or Subordinated
Securities and will be unsecured, unless the Company shall be required to secure
the Debt Securities as described below under "Covenants--Limitation on Liens."
The Indenture does not limit the amount of Debt Securities which may be issued
thereunder and Debt Securities may be issued thereunder up to the aggregate
principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by the Company.
(Section 301) Debt Securities will be issued from time to time and offered on
terms determined by market conditions at the time of sale.
The Senior Securities will be unsecured and will rank on a parity with all
other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company. The Subordinated
Securities will be unsecured and will be subordinated and junior to all "Senior
Indebtedness" (which for this purpose includes any Senior Securities) to the
extent set forth in the applicable supplemental Indenture and the Prospectus
Supplement relating to such series.
The Debt Securities may be issued in one or more series with the same or
various maturities at par, at a premium or at a discount. Any Debt Securities
bearing no interest or interest at a rate which at the time of issuance is below
market rates will be sold at a discount (which may be substantial) from their
stated principal amount. Federal income tax consequences and other special
considerations applicable to any such substantially discounted Debt Securities
will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement for the following terms of
the Debt Securities offered hereby: (i) the designation, aggregate principal
amount and authorized denominations of such Debt Securities; (ii) the percentage
of their principal amount at which such Debt Securities will be issued; (iii)
the date or dates on which the Debt Securities will mature; (iv) the rate or
rates (which may be fixed or floating) per annum at which the Debt Securities
will bear interest, if any, or the method of determining such rate or rates; (v)
the date or dates on which any such interest will be payable, the date or dates
on which payment of any such interest will commence and the Regular Record Dates
for such Interest Payment Dates; (vi) whether such Debt Securities are Senior
Securities or Subordinated Securities; (vii) the terms of any mandatory or
optional redemption (including any provisions for any sinking, purchase or other
analogous fund) or repayment option; (viii) the currency, currencies or currency
units for which the Debt Securities may be purchased and the currency,
currencies or currency units in which the principal thereof, any premium
4
<PAGE> 6
thereon and any interest thereon may be payable; (ix) if the currency,
currencies or currency units for which the Debt Securities may be purchased or
in which the principal thereof, any premium thereon and any interest thereon may
be payable is at the election of the Company or the purchaser, the manner in
which such election may be made; (x) if the amount of payments on the Debt
Securities is determined with reference to an index based on one or more
currencies or currency units, changes in the price of one or more securities or
changes in the price of one or more commodities, the manner in which such
amounts may be determined; (xi) the extent to which any of the Debt Securities
will be issuable in temporary or permanent global form, or the manner in which
any interest payable on a temporary or permanent Global Security will be paid;
(xii) the terms and conditions upon which conversion or exchange of the Debt
Securities into or for Common Stock, Preferred Stock or other Debt Securities
will be effected, including the conversion price or exchange ratio, the
conversion or exchange period and any other conversion or exchange provisions;
(xiii) information with respect to book-entry procedures, if any; (xiv) a
discussion of certain Federal income tax, accounting and other special
considerations, procedures and limitations with respect to the Debt Securities;
and (xv) any other specific terms of the Debt Securities not inconsistent with
the Indenture.
If any of the Debt Securities are sold for one or more foreign currencies
or foreign currency units or if the principal of, premium, if any, or any
interest on any series of Debt Securities is payable in one or more foreign
currencies or foreign currency units, the restrictions, elections, Federal
income tax consequences, specific terms and other information with respect to
such issue of Debt Securities and such currencies or currency units will be set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto.
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, the principal of,
any premium on, and any interest on the Debt Securities will be payable, and the
Debt Securities will be transferable, at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee in New York, New York, provided that payment of interest, if any, may be
made at the option of the Company by check mailed on or before the payment date,
first class mail, to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on
the registry books of the Company or its agent.
Unless otherwise specified in the Prospectus Supplement, the Debt
Securities will be issued only in fully registered form and in denominations of
$1,000 and any integral multiple thereof. (Sections 301 and 302) No service
charge will be made for any transfer or exchange of any Debt Securities, but the
Company may, except in certain specified cases not involving any transfer,
require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental
charge payable in connection therewith. (Section 305)
GLOBAL SECURITIES
The Debt Securities of a series may be issued, in whole or in part, in the
form of one or more Global Securities that will be deposited with, or on behalf
of, a depositary (the "Depositary") identified in the Prospectus Supplement
relating to such series. Global Securities may be issued only in fully
registered form and in either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it
is exchanged in whole or in part for the individual Debt Securities represented
thereby, a Global Security may not be transferred except as a whole by the
Depositary for such Global Security to a nominee of such Depositary or by a
nominee of such Depositary to such Depositary or another nominee of such
Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee of such Depositary to a successor
Depositary or any nominee of such successor.
The specific terms of the depositary arrangement with respect to a series
of Debt Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to
such series. The Company anticipates that the following provisions will
generally apply to depositary arrangements.
Upon the issuance of a Global Security, the Depositary for such Global
Security or its nominee will credit, on its book entry registration and transfer
system, the respective principal amounts of the individual Debt Securities
represented by such Global Security to the accounts of persons that have
accounts with such Depositary. Such accounts shall be designated by the dealers,
underwriters or agents with respect to such Debt Securities or by the Company if
such Debt Securities are offered and sold directly by the Company. Ownership of
beneficial interests in a Global Security will be limited to persons that have
accounts with the applicable Depositary ("participants") or persons that may
hold interests through participants. Ownership of beneficial interests in such
Global Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be
5
<PAGE> 7
effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its
nominee (with respect to interests of participants) and the records of
participants (with respect to interests of persons other than participants). The
laws of some states require that certain purchasers of securities take physical
delivery of such securities in definitive form. Such limits and such laws may
impair the ability to transfer beneficial interests in a Global Security.
So long as the Depositary for a Global Security, or its nominee, is the
registered owner of such Global Security, such Depositary or such nominee, as
the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Debt
Securities represented by such Global Security for all purposes under the
Indenture. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in a Global
Security will not be entitled to have any of the individual Debt Securities of
the series represented by such Global Security registered in their names, will
not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of any such Debt
Securities of such series in definitive form and will not be considered the
owners or holders thereof under the Indenture governing such Debt Securities.
Payments of principal of, any premium on, and any interest on, individual
Debt Securities represented by a Global Security registered in the name of a
Depositary or its nominee will be made to the Depositary or its nominee, as the
case may be, as the registered owner of the Global Security representing such
Debt Securities. Neither the Company, the Trustee for such Debt Securities, any
Paying Agent, nor the Security Registrar for such Debt Securities will have any
responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or
payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests of the Global
Security for such Debt Securities or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing
any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests.
The Company expects that the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities or
its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal, premium or interest in
respect of a permanent Global Security representing any of such Debt Securities,
immediately will credit participants' accounts with payments in amounts
proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount
of such Global Security for such Debt Securities as shown on the records of such
Depositary or its nominee. The Company also expects that payments by
participants to owners of beneficial interests in such Global Security held
through such participants will be governed by standing instructions and
customary practices, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of
customers in bearer form or registered in "street name". Such payments will be
the responsibility of such participants.
If the Depositary for a series of Debt Securities is at any time unwilling,
unable or ineligible to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not
appointed by the Company within 90 days, the Company will issue individual Debt
Securities of such series in exchange for the Global Security representing such
series of Debt Securities. In addition, the Company may at any time and in its
sole discretion, subject to any limitations described in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to such Debt Securities, determine not to have any Debt
Securities of a series represented by one or more Global Securities and, in such
event, will issue individual Debt Securities of such series in exchange for the
Global Security or Securities representing such series of Debt Securities.
Further, if the Company so specifies with respect to the Debt Securities of a
series, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global Security representing Debt
Securities of such series may, on terms acceptable to the Company, the Trustee
and the Depositary for such Global Security, receive individual Debt Securities
of such series in exchange for such beneficial interests, subject to any
limitations described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such Debt
Securities. In any such instance, an owner of a beneficial interest in a Global
Security will be entitled to physical delivery of individual Debt Securities of
the series represented by such Global Security equal in principal amount to such
beneficial interest and to have such Debt Securities registered in its name.
Individual Debt Securities of such series so issued will be issued in
denominations, unless otherwise specified by the Company, of $1,000 and integral
multiples thereof.
SENIOR SECURITIES
The Senior Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the Company,
and will constitute Senior Indebtedness (in each case as defined in the
applicable supplemental Indenture) ranking on a parity with all other unsecured
and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Company.
6
<PAGE> 8
SUBORDINATED SECURITIES
The Subordinated Securities will be direct, unsecured obligations of the
Company. The obligations of the Company pursuant to the Subordinated Securities
will be subordinate in right of payment to the extent set forth in the Indenture
and the applicable supplemental Indenture to all Senior Indebtedness (including
all Senior Securities) (in each case as defined in the applicable supplemental
Indenture). Except to the extent otherwise set forth in a Prospectus Supplement,
the Indenture does not contain any restriction on the amount of Senior
Indebtedness which the Company may incur.
The terms of the subordination of a series of Subordinated Securities,
together with the definition of Senior Indebtedness related thereto, will be as
set forth in the applicable supplemental Indenture and the Prospectus Supplement
relating to such series.
The Subordinated Securities will not be subordinated to indebtedness of the
Company which is not Senior Indebtedness, and the creditors of the Company who
do not hold Senior Indebtedness will not benefit from the subordination
provisions described herein. In the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of the
Company before or after maturity of the Subordinated Securities, such other
creditors would rank pari passu with holders of the Subordinated Securities,
subject, however, to the broad equity powers of the Federal bankruptcy court
pursuant to which such court may, among other things, reclassify the claims of
any series of Subordinated Securities into a class of claims having a different
relative priority with respect to the claims of such other creditors or any
other claims against the Company.

Directors is not a principal plant in relation to the activities of the Company
and its Restricted Subsidiaries as a whole.
"Restricted Subsidiary" means any Subsidiary which owns or leases (as
lessor or lessee) a Principal Property, but such term does not include Union
Pacific Railroad Company or any other Subsidiary which is principally a common
carrier by rail or truck or any Subsidiary the principal business of which is
leasing machinery, equipment, vehicles or other properties none of which is a
Principal Property, or financing accounts receivable, or engaging in ownership
and development of any real property which is not a Principal Property.
"Subsidiary", when used with respect to the Company, means any corporation
of which a majority of the outstanding voting stock is owned, directly or
indirectly, by the Company or by one or more other Subsidiaries, or both.

COVENANTS
The Indenture contains the covenants summarized below, which will be
applicable (unless waived or amended) so long as any of the Debt Securities are
outstanding, unless stated otherwise in the Prospectus Supplement.
Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company will not, nor will it permit any
Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Mortgage upon any
stock or indebtedness of any Domestic Subsidiary, whether owned on the date of
the Indenture or thereafter acquired, to secure any Debt of the Company or any
other person (other than the Debt Securities), without in any such case making
effective provision whereby all the outstanding Debt Securities shall be
directly secured equally and ratably with such Debt. There will be excluded from
this restriction any Mortgage upon stock or indebtedness of a corporation
existing at the time such corporation becomes a Domestic Subsidiary or at the
time stock or indebtedness of a Domestic Subsidiary is acquired and any
extension, renewal or replacement of any such Mortgage.
(b) The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted Subsidiary to,
create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Mortgage upon any Principal
Property, whether owned or leased on the date of the Indenture, or thereafter
acquired, to secure any Debt of the Company or any other person (other than the
Debt Securities), without in any such case making effective provision whereby
all the outstanding Debt Securities shall be directly secured equally and
ratably with such Debt.
There will be excluded from the restriction referred to in the next
preceding paragraph (i) any Mortgage upon property owned or leased by a
corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary, (ii) any Mortgage upon property existing at the time of the
acquisition thereof or to secure payment of any part of the purchase price
thereof or any Debt incurred to finance the purchase thereof, (iii) any Mortgage
upon property to secure any part of the cost of exploration, drilling,
development, construction, alteration, repair or improvement of such property,
or Debt incurred to finance such cost, (iv) any Mortgage securing Debt of a
Restricted Subsidiary owing to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary,
(v) any Mortgage existing on the date of the Indenture, and (vi) any extension,
renewal or replacement, in whole or in part, of any Mortgage referred to in the
foregoing clauses (i) through (v); provided however, that the principal amount
of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured
at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement; and provided further,
that such Mortgage shall be limited to all or such part of the property which
secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Company may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create,
assume, incur or suffer to exist any Mortgage upon any Principal Property which
is not excepted by clauses (i) through (vi) above without equally and ratably
securing the Debt Securities, provided that the aggregate amount of all Debt
then outstanding secured by such Mortgage and all similar Mortgages does not
exceed 10% of the total consolidated stockholders' equity (including preferred
stock) of the Company as shown on the audited consolidated balance sheet
contained in the latest annual report to stockholders of the Company.
For the purpose of the restriction referred to in the second preceding
paragraph, no Mortgage to secure any Debt will be deemed created by (i) the sale
or other transfer of (A) any oil or gas or 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 oil
or gas or minerals, or (B) any other interest commonly referred to as a
"production payment", and (ii) any Mortgage in favor of the United States (or
any State thereof), or any other country, or any political subdivision of any of
the foregoing, to secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant
to any contract or statute, or any Mortgage upon property intended to be used
primarily for the purpose of or in connection with air or water pollution
control. (Section 1006)
Limitation on Transfers of Principal Properties to Unrestricted
Subsidiaries. The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Principal Property to
any Subsidiary which is not a Restricted Subsidiary other than for cash or other
consideration which, in the opinion of the Company's Board of Directors,
constitutes fair value for such Principal Property. (Section 1007)

<PAGE> 10
CONSOLIDATION, MERGER, SALE OR CONVEYANCE
The Indenture provides that the Company may not consolidate with or merge
into any other corporation or convey or transfer its properties and assets
substantially as an entirety to any person, unless (i) the successor corporation
shall be a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the United
States or any State thereof or the District of Columbia, and shall expressly
assume by a supplemental indenture the due and punctual payment of the principal
of, any premium on, and any interest on, all the outstanding Debt Securities and
the performance of every covenant in the Indenture on the part of the Company to
be performed or observed; (ii) immediately after giving effect to such
transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of
time or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be
continuing; and (iii) the Company shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Officers' Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel, each stating that such
consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture
comply with the foregoing provisions relating to such transaction. (Section 801)
In case of any such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer, such
successor corporation will succeed to and be substituted for the Company as
obligor on the Debt Securities, with the same effect as if it had been named in
the Indenture as the Company. (Section 802) Other than the restrictions on
Mortgages described above, the Indenture and the Debt Securities do not contain
any covenants or other provisions designed to protect holders of Debt Securities
in the event of a highly leveraged transaction involving the Company or any
Subsidiary.
EVENTS OF DEFAULT; WAIVER AND NOTICE THEREOF; DEBT SECURITIES IN FOREIGN
CURRENCIES
As to any series of Debt Securities, an Event of Default is defined in the
Indenture as (a) default for 30 days in payment of any interest on the Debt
Securities of such series; (b) default in payment of principal of or any premium
on the Debt Securities of such series at maturity; (c) default in payment of any
sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation, if any, on the Debt Securities
of such series; (d) default by the Company in the performance of any other
covenant or warranty contained in the Indenture for the benefit of such series
which shall not have been remedied for a period of 90 days after notice is given
as specified in the Indenture; and (e) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency
and reorganization of the Company. (Section 501)
A default under other indebtedness of the Company will not be a default
under the Indenture and a default under one series of Debt Securities will not
necessarily be a default under another series. Any additions, deletions or other
changes to the Events of Default which will be applicable to a series of Debt
Securities will be described in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such
series of Debt Securities.
The Indenture provides that (i) if an Event of Default described in clause
(a), (b), (c) or (d) above (if the Event of Default under clause (d) is with
respect to less than all series of Debt Securities then outstanding) shall have
occurred and be continuing with respect to any series, either the Trustee or the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of such series then outstanding (each such series acting as a
separate class) may declare the principal (or, in the case of Original Issue
Discount Securities, the portion thereof specified in the terms thereof) of all
outstanding Debt Securities of such series and the interest accrued thereon, if
any, to be due and payable immediately and (ii) if an Event of Default described
in clause (d) or (e) above (if the Event of Default under clause (d) is with
respect to all series of Debt Securities then outstanding) shall have occurred
and be continuing, either the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in
aggregate principal amount of all Debt Securities then outstanding (treated as
one class) may declare the principal (or, in the case of Original Issue Discount
Securities, the portion thereof specified in the terms thereof) of all Debt
Securities then outstanding and the interest accrued thereon, if any, to be due
and payable immediately, but upon certain conditions such declarations may be
annulled and past defaults (except for defaults in the payment of principal of,
any premium on, or any interest on, such Debt Securities and in compliance with
certain covenants) may be waived by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities of such series then outstanding.
(Sections 502 and 513)
Under the Indenture the Trustee must give to the holders of each series of
Debt Securities notice of all uncured defaults known to it with respect to such
series within 90 days after such a default occurs (the term default to include
the events specified above without notice or grace periods); provided that,
except in the case
9
<PAGE> 11
of default in the payment of principal of, any premium on, or any interest on,
any of the Debt Securities, or default in the payment of any sinking or purchase
fund installment or analogous obligations, the Trustee shall be protected in
withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of
such notice is in the interests of the holders of the Debt Securities of such
series. (Section 602)
No holder of any Debt Securities of any series may institute any action
under the Indenture unless (a) such holder shall have given the Trustee written
notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to such series, (b) the
holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of such series then outstanding shall have requested the Trustee to
institute proceedings in respect of such Event of Default, (c) such holder or
holders shall have offered the Trustee such reasonable indemnity as the Trustee
may require, (d) the Trustee shall have failed to institute an action for 60
days thereafter and (e) no inconsistent direction shall have been given to the
Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in aggregate
principal amount of Debt Securities of such series. (Section 507)
The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of any series affected and then outstanding will have the right,
subject to certain limitations, to direct the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee or exercising
any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to such series of Debt
Securities. (Section 512) The Indenture provides that, in case an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee, in exercising its rights and
powers under the Indenture, will be required to use the degree of care of a
prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. (Section 601) The Indenture
further provides that the Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its
own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any
of its duties under the Indenture unless it has reasonable grounds for believing
that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or
liability is reasonably assured to it. (Section 601)
The Company must furnish to the Trustee within 120 days after the end of
each fiscal year a statement signed by one of certain officers of the Company to
the effect that a review of the activities of the Company during such year and
of its performance under the Indenture and the terms of the Debt Securities has
been made, and, to the best of the knowledge of the signatories based on such
review, the Company has complied with all conditions and convenants of the
Indenture or, if the Company is in default, specifying such default. (Section
1004)
If any Debt Securities are denominated in a coin or currency other than
that of the United States, then for the purposes of determining whether the
holders of the requisite principal amount of Debt Securities have taken any
action as herein described, the principal amount of such Debt Securities shall
be deemed to be that amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for
such principal amount on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United
States dollars for the currency in which such Debt Securities are denominated
(as evidenced to the Trustee by an Officers' Certificate) as of the date the
taking of such action by the holders of such requisite principal amount is
evidenced to the Trustee as provided in the Indenture. (Section 104)
If any Debt Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities, then for the
purposes of determining whether the holders of the requisite principal amount of
Debt Securities have taken any action herein described, the principal amount of
such Debt Securities shall be deemed to be the portion of such principal amount
that would be due and payable at the time of the taking of such action upon a
declaration of acceleration of maturity thereof. (Section 101)
MODIFICATION OF THE INDENTURE
The Company and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of the
Debt Securities, enter into indentures supplemental to the Indenture for, among
others, one or more of the following purposes; (i) to evidence the succession of
another corporation to the Company, and the assumption by such successor of the
Company's obligations under the Indenture and the Debt Securities of any series;
(ii) to add covenants of the Company, or surrender any rights of the Company,
for the benefit of the holders of Debt Securities of any or all series; (iii) to
cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency in such Indenture; (iv) to
establish the form or terms of any series of Debt Securities, including any
Subordinated Securities; (v) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of any
successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of Debt Securities or to
10
<PAGE> 12
facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by one or more trustees
in accordance with such Indenture; and (vi) to provide any additional Events of
Default (Section 901).
With certain exceptions, the Indenture or the rights of the holders of the
Debt Securities may be modified by the Company and the Trustee with the consent
of the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt
Securities of each series affected by such modification then outstanding, but no
such modification may be made without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding Debt Security affected thereby which would (i) change the maturity
of any payment of principal of, or any premium on, or any installment of
interest on any Debt Security, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the
interest or any premium thereon, or change the method of computing the amount of
principal thereof or interest thereon on any date or change any place of payment
where, or the coin or currency in which, any Debt Security or any premium or
interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the
enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity thereof (or, in the
case of redemption or repayment, on or after the redemption date or the
repayment date, as the case may be), or (ii) reduce the percentage in principal
amount of the outstanding Debt Securities of any series, the consent of whose
holders is required for any such modification, or the consent of whose holders
is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the
Indenture or certain defaults thereunder and their consequences provided for in
the Indenture, or (iii) modify any of the provisions of certain Sections of the
Indenture, including the provisions summarized in this paragraph, except to
increase any such percentage or to provide that certain other provisions of the
Indenture cannot be modified or waived without the consent of the holder of each
outstanding Debt Security affected thereby. (Section 902)
DEFEASANCE OF THE INDENTURE AND DEBT SECURITIES
If the terms of any series of Debt Securities so provide, the Company will
be deemed to have paid and discharged the entire indebtedness on all the
outstanding Debt Securities of such series by (a) depositing with the Trustee
(i) as trust funds in trust an amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire
indebtedness on all Debt Securities of such series for principal, premium and
interest or (ii) as obligations in trust such amount of direct obligations of,
or obligations the principal of and interest on which are fully guaranteed by,
the government which issued the currency in which the Debt Securities are
denominated as will, together with the income to accrue thereon without
consideration of any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient to pay and discharge
the entire indebtedness on all such Debt Securities for principal, premium and
interest and (b) satisfying certain other conditions precedent specified in the
Indenture. (Section 403) In the event of any such defeasance, holders of such
Debt Securities would be able to look only to such trust fund for payment of
principal of, any premium on, and any interest on their Debt Securities.
Such defeasance is likely to be treated as a taxable exchange by holders of
the relevant Debt Securities for an issue consisting of either obligations of
the trust or a direct interest in the cash and securities held in the trust,
with the result that such holders would be required for tax purposes to
recognize gain or loss as if such obligations or the cash or securities
deposited, as the case may be, had actually been received by them in exchange
for their Debt Securities. In addition, if the holders are treated as the owners
of their proportionate share of the cash or securities held in trust, such
holders would then be required to include in their income for tax purposes any
income, gain or loss attributable thereto even though no cash was actually
received. Thus, such holders might be required to recognize income for tax
purposes in different amounts and at different times than would be recognized in
the absence of defeasance. Prospective investors are urged to consult their own
tax advisors as to the specific consequences of defeasance.
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE

certain of its subsidiaries and, in addition, is a participant in various
financial agreements of the Company. Chemical Bank acts as trustee under certain

DESCRIPTION OF PREFERRED STOCK
The following is a description of certain general terms and provisions of
the Preferred Stock. The particular terms of any series of Preferred Stock will
be described in the applicable Prospectus Supplement. If so indicated in a
Prospectus Supplement, the terms of any such series may differ from the terms
set forth below.
The summary of terms of the Company's Preferred Stock contained in this
Prospectus does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in
its entirety by, the provisions of the Company's Revised Articles of
Incorporation, and the certificate of amendment relating to each series of the
Preferred Stock (the "Certificate of Amendment") which will be filed as an
exhibit to or incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement of which
this Prospectus is a part at or prior to the time of issuance of such series of
the Preferred Stock.
The Company's Revised Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of
20,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, without par value. No shares of Preferred
Stock are currently outstanding, and no shares are reserved for issuance. The
Company's Board of Directors is authorized to issue Preferred Stock in one or
more series from time to time, with such designations, preferences and relative
participating, optional or other special rights and qualifications, limitations
and restrictions thereof, as may be provided in resolutions adopted by the Board
of Directors. All shares of any one series of Preferred Stock shall be identical
in all respects, except that shares of any one series issued at different times
may differ as to the dates from which dividends thereon may be cumulative. All
series shall rank equally and shall provide for other terms as described in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement.
Preferred Stock of a particular series shall have the dividend,
liquidation, redemption, conversion and voting rights set forth below unless
otherwise provided in the Prospectus Supplement relating to such series.
Reference is made to the Prospectus Supplement relating to a particular series
of Preferred Stock for specific terms, including: (i) the distinctive serial
designation and the number of shares constituting such series; (ii) the dividend
rate or rates, the payment date or dates for dividends and the participating or
other special rights, if any, with respect to dividends; (iii) any redemption,
sinking fund or other analogous provisions applicable to such Preferred Stock;
(iv) the amount or amounts payable upon the shares of Preferred Stock in the
event of voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company prior to any payment or distribution of the assets of the Company to the
holders of any class or classes of stock which are junior in rank to the
Preferred Stock; (v) any terms for the conversion into or exchange for shares of
Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock or Debt Securities and (vi) any other
specific terms of the Preferred Stock not inconsistent with the Company's
Revised Articles of Incorporation and any applicable Certificate of Amendment.
The term "class or classes of stock which are junior in rank to the Preferred
Stock" means the Common Stock and any other class or classes of stock of the
Company hereafter authorized which shall rank junior to the Preferred Stock as
to dividends or upon liquidation.
DIVIDENDS
Holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if
declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Company legally available
therefor, cash dividends payable on such dates in March, June, September and
December of each year and at such rates per share per annum as set forth in the
applicable Prospectus Supplement. The Prospectus Supplement will also indicate
the applicable record dates regarding the payment of dividends. The holders of
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to such cash dividends before any dividends on
any class or classes of stock junior in rank to Preferred Stock shall be
declared or paid or set apart for payment. Whenever dividends shall not have
been so paid or declared or set apart for payment upon all shares of each series
of Preferred Stock, such dividends shall be cumulative and shall be paid, or
declared and set apart for payment, before any dividends can be declared or paid
on any class or classes of stock of the Company junior in rank to the Preferred
Stock. Any such accumulations of dividends on Preferred Stock shall not bear
interest. The foregoing shall not apply to dividends payable in shares of any
class or classes of stock junior in rank to the Preferred Stock.
12
<PAGE> 14
CONVERTIBILITY
No series of Preferred Stock will be convertible into, or exchangeable for,
shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock or any other class or classes
of stock of the Company or Debt Securities except as set forth in the related
Prospectus Supplement.
REDEMPTION AND SINKING FUND
No series of Preferred Stock will be redeemable or receive the benefit of a
sinking, retirement or other analogous fund except as set forth in the related
Prospectus Supplement.
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
Upon any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of
the Company, holders of any series of Preferred Stock will be entitled to
receive payment of or to have set aside for payment the liquidation amount per
share, if any, specified in the related Prospectus Supplement, in each case
together with any applicable accrued and unpaid dividends, before any
distribution to holders Common Stock. A voluntary sale, lease, exchange or
transfer (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all
or substantially all of the Company's property or assets to, or a consolidation
or merger of the Company with, one or more corporations shall not be deemed to
be a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company for purposes of this
paragraph.
VOTING RIGHTS
Except as provided below, holders of Preferred Stock shall be entitled to
one vote for each share held and shall vote together with the holders of Common
Stock as one class for the election of directors and upon all other matters
which may be voted upon by stockholders of the Company. Holders of Preferred
Stock shall possess cumulative voting rights in the election of directors. See
"Description of Common Stock -- Voting Rights" for a discussion of such
cumulative voting rights.
If dividends on the Preferred Stock shall be in arrears in an aggregate
amount at least equal to six quarterly dividends, then the holders of all series
of Preferred Stock, voting separately as one class, shall be entitled, at the
next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company or at a special meeting
held in place thereof, or at a special meeting of the holders of the Preferred
Stock called as provided below, to elect two directors of the Company. While the
holders of Preferred Stock are so entitled to elect two directors of the
Company, they shall not be entitled to participate with the Common Stock in the
election of any other directors. Whenever all arrearages in dividends on the
Preferred Stock shall have been paid and dividends thereon for the current
quarterly period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the
payment thereof set aside, then the right of the holders of the Preferred Stock
to elect two directors shall cease, provided that such voting rights shall again
vest in the case of any similar future arrearages in dividends.
At any time after the right to vote for two directors shall have so vested
in the Preferred Stock, the Secretary of the Company may, and upon the written
request of the holders of record of 10% or more of the shares of Preferred Stock
then outstanding, shall, call a special meeting of the holders of the Preferred
Stock for the election of the directors to be elected by them, to be held within
30 days after such call and at the place and upon the notice provided by law and
in the Company's bylaws for the holding of meetings of stockholders. The
Secretary shall not be required to call such meeting in the case of any such
request received less than 90 days before the date fixed for any annual meeting
of stockholders of the Company. If any such special meeting shall not be called
by the Secretary within 30 days after receipt of any such request, then the
holders of record of 10% or more of the shares of Preferred Stock then
outstanding may designate in writing one of their number to call such meeting,
and the person so designated may call such meeting to be held at the place and
upon the notice provided above, and for that purpose shall have access to the
stock ledger of the Company. No such special meeting and no adjournment thereof
shall be held on a date later than 30 days before the annual meeting of the
stockholders of the Company or a special meeting held in place thereof next
succeeding the time when the holders of the Preferred Stock become entitled to
elect directors as provided above.
13
<PAGE> 15
If any meeting of the Company's stockholders shall be held while holders of
Preferred Stock are entitled to elect two directors as provided above, and if
the holders of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock then
outstanding shall be present or represented by proxy at such meeting or any
adjournment thereof, then, by vote of the holders of at least a majority of the
shares of Preferred Stock present or so represented at such meeting, the then
authorized number of directors of the Company shall be increased by two and at
such meeting the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be entitled to elect the
additional directors so provided for, but no such additional director so elected
shall hold office beyond the annual meeting of the stockholders or a special
meeting held in place thereof next succeeding the time when the holders of the
Preferred Stock become entitled to elect two directors as provided above.
Whenever the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be divested of special voting
power as provided above, the terms of office of all persons elected as directors
by the holders of the Preferred Stock as a class shall forthwith terminate, and
the authorized number of directors of the Company shall be reduced accordingly.
The affirmative vote or consent of 66-2/3% of all shares of Preferred Stock
outstanding shall be required before the Company may (i) create any other class
or classes of stock prior in rank to the Preferred Stock, either as to dividends
or upon liquidation, or increase the number of authorized shares of such class
of stock, or (ii) amend, alter or repeal any provisions of the Company's Revised
Articles of Incorporation or any resolution adopted by the Board of Directors
providing for the issuance of any series of Preferred Stock so as to adversely
affect the preferences, rights or powers of the Preferred Stock. The affirmative
vote or consent of at least a majority of the shares of Preferred Stock at the
time outstanding shall be required for the Company to (i) increase the
authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock, (ii) create or increase the
authorized number of shares of any other class of stock ranking on a parity with
the Preferred Stock either as to dividends or upon liquidation, or (iii) sell,
lease or convey all or substantially all of the property or business of the
Company, or voluntarily liquidate, dissolve or wind up the Company, or merge or
consolidate the Company with any other corporation unless the resulting or
surviving corporation will have after such merger or consolidation no stock
either authorized or outstanding (except such stock of the corporation as may
have been authorized or outstanding immediately preceding such merger or
consolidation, or such stock of the resulting or surviving corporation as may be
issued in exchange therefor) prior in rank either as to dividends or upon
liquidation to the Preferred Stock or the stock of the resulting or surviving
corporation issued in exchange therefor. No consent of the holders of Preferred
Stock shall be required in connection with any mortgaging or other hypothecation
by the Company of all or any part of its property or business.
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
The Company's Revised Articles of Incorporation provide that certain
transactions between the Company and a beneficial owner of more than 10% of the
Company's voting stock (which includes Preferred Stock) must either (1) be
approved by a majority of the Company's voting stock other than that held by
such beneficial owner, (2) satisfy certain minimum price and procedural
criteria, or (3) be approved by a majority of the Company's directors who are
not related to such beneficial owner. The transactions covered by these
provisions include mergers, consolidations, sales or dispositions of assets,
adoption of a plan of liquidation or dissolution, or other transactions
increasing the proportionate share of such 10% beneficial owner.
MISCELLANEOUS
The Preferred Stock offered hereby has no preemptive rights, is not liable
for further assessments or calls and will be fully paid and nonassessable upon
issuance. Shares of Preferred Stock which have been issued and reacquired in any
manner by the Company shall resume the status of authorized and unissued shares
of Preferred Stock and shall be available for subsequent issuance. There are no
restrictions on repurchase or redemption of the Preferred Stock while there is
any arrearage in dividends or sinking fund installments except as may be set
forth in the related Prospectus Supplement.
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
The transfer agent and registrar for each series of Preferred Stock will be
described in the related Prospectus Supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF COMMON STOCK
The following summary does not purport to be complete and is subject in all
respects to the applicable provisions of the Revised Business Corporation Law of
the State of Utah and the Company's Revised Articles of Incorporation. The
Company is presently authorized to issue 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, par
value $2.50 per share. At April 25, 1995, an aggregate of 205,284,153 shares of
Common Stock were outstanding.
DIVIDENDS
Subject to the rights of holders of any Preferred Stock which may be
issued, the holders of Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as
and if declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds legally available
therefor. The Company may not pay dividends on Common Stock (other than
dividends payable in Common Stock or any other class or classes of stock junior
in rank to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or upon liquidation) unless all
dividends accrued on outstanding Preferred Stock have been paid or declared and
set apart for payment.
VOTING RIGHTS
Except in the election of directors, holders of Common Stock are entitled
to one vote for each share held. Holders of Common Stock possess cumulative
voting rights in the election of directors. Accordingly, in the election of
directors each holder may accumulate his or her votes by giving one candidate as
many votes as shall equal the number of directors then being elected multiplied
by the number of his or her shares, or by distributing such votes on the same
principle among any number of such candidates. The Board of Directors is divided
into three classes with each class elected for successive three-year terms.
Except as provided in the related Prospectus Supplement, any series of Preferred
Stock will be entitled, with certain exceptions, to vote together with the
holders of Common Stock as one class. See "Description of Preferred
Stock -- Voting Rights."
LIQUIDATION RIGHTS
Any Preferred Stock would be senior to the Common Stock as to distributions
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company. After distribution
in full of the preferential amounts to be distributed to holders of Preferred
Stock, holders of Common Stock will be entitled to receive all remaining assets
of the Company available for distribution to stockholders in the event of
voluntary or involuntary liquidation.

DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES WARRANTS
The Company may issue Securities Warrants for the purchase of Debt
Securities or Preferred Stock. Securities Warrants may be issued independently
or together with any Debt Securities or shares of Preferred Stock offered by any
Prospectus Supplement and may be attached to or separate from such Debt
Securities or shares of Preferred Stock. The Securities Warrants are to be
issued under Warrant Agreements to be entered into between the Company and
Chemical Bank, as Warrant Agent, or such other bank or trust company as is named
in the Prospectus Supplement relating to the particular issue of Securities
Warrants (the "Warrant Agent"). The Warrant Agent will act solely as an agent of
the Company in connection with the Securities Warrants and will not assume any
obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders of
Securities Warrants or beneficial owners of Securities Warrants. The following
summaries of certain provisions of the form of Warrant Agreement and Securities
Warrants do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in
their entirety by reference to, all the provisions of the applicable Warrant
Agreement and the Securities Warrants.
GENERAL
If Securities Warrants are offered, the Prospectus Supplement will describe
the terms of the Securities Warrants, including the following: (i) the offering
price; (ii) the currency, currencies or currency units for which Securities
Warrants may be purchased; (iii) the designation, aggregate principal amount,
currency, currencies or currency units and terms of the Debt Securities
purchasable upon exercise of the Warrants and the price at which such Debt
Securities may be purchased upon such exercise; (iv) the designation, number of
shares and terms of the series of Preferred Stock purchasable upon exercise of
the Securities Warrants to purchase Preferred Stock and the price at which such
shares of Preferred Stock may be purchased upon such exercise; (v) if
applicable, the designation and terms of the Debt Securities or Preferred Stock
with which the Securities Warrants are issued and the number of Securities
Warrants issued with each such Debt Security or share of Preferred Stock; (vi)
if applicable, the date on and after which the Securities Warrants and the
related Debt Securities or Preferred Stock will be separately transferable;
(vii) the date on which the right to exercise the Securities Warrants shall
commence and the date (the "Expiration Date") on which such right shall expire;
(viii) whether the Securities Warrants will be issued in registered or bearer
form; (ix) a discussion of certain Federal income tax, accounting and other
special considerations, procedures and limitations relating to the Securities
Warrants; and (x) any other terms of the Securities Warrants.
Securities Warrants may be exchanged for new Securities Warrants of
different denominations, may (if in registered form) be presented for
registration of transfer, and may be exercised at the corporate trust office of
the Warrant Agent or any other office indicated in the Prospectus Supplement.
Before the exercise of their Securities Warrants, holders of Securities Warrants
will not have any of the rights of holders of the Debt Securities or shares of
Preferred Stock purchasable upon such exercise, including the right to receive
payments of principal of, any premium on, or any interest on, the Debt
Securities purchasable upon such exercise or to enforce the covenants in the
Indenture or to receive payments of dividends, if any, on the Preferred Stock
purchasable upon such exercise or to exercise any applicable right to vote.
EXERCISE OF SECURITIES WARRANTS
Each Securities Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase such principal
amount of Debt Securities or such number of shares of Preferred Stock at such
exercise price as shall in each case be set forth in, or calculable from, the
Prospectus Supplement relating to the Securities Warrant. Securities Warrants
may be exercised at such times as are set forth in the Prospectus Supplement
relating to such Securities Warrants. After the close of business on the
Expiration Date (or such later date to which such Expiration Date may be
extended by the Company), unexercised Securities Warrants will become void.
Subject to any restrictions and additional requirements that may be set
forth in the Prospectus Supplement relating thereto, Securities Warrants may be
exercised by delivery to the Warrant Agent of the certificate evidencing such
Securities Warrants properly completed and duly executed and of payment as
provided in the Prospectus Supplement of the amount required to purchase the
Debt Securities or shares of
16
<PAGE> 18
Preferred Stock purchasable upon such exercise. The exercise price will be the
price applicable on the date of payment in full, as set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement relating to the Securities Warrants. Upon receipt of such payment and
the certificate representing the Securities Warrants to be exercised properly
completed and duly executed at the corporate trust office of the Warrant Agent
or any other office indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will, as
soon as practicable, issue and deliver the Debt Securities or shares of
Preferred Stock purchasable upon such exercise. If fewer than all of the
Securities Warrants represented by such certificate are exercised, a new
certificate will be issued for the remaining amount of Securities Warrants.
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Company may sell the Offered Securities offered hereby (i) through
underwriters or dealers; (ii) through agents; (iii) directly to purchasers; or
(iv) through a combination of any such methods of sale. Any such underwriter,
dealer or agent may be deemed to be an underwriter within the meaning of the
Securities Act. The Prospectus Supplement relating to the Offered Securities
will set forth their offering terms, including the name or names of any
underwriters, dealers or agents, the purchase price of the Offered Securities
and the proceeds to the Company from such sale, any underwriting discounts,
commissions and other items constituting compensation to underwriters, dealers
or agents, any initial public offering price, any discounts or concessions
allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers, and
any securities exchanges on which the Offered Securities may be listed.
If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the Offered Securities
will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account and may be
resold from time to time in one or more transactions, at a fixed price or
prices, which may be changed, or at market prices prevailing at the time of
sale, or at prices related to such prevailing market prices, or at negotiated
prices. The Offered Securities may be offered to the public either through
underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or
directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase
the Offered Securities will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the
underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the Offered Securities
if any are purchased. Any initial public offering price and any discounts or
concessions allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other
dealers may be changed from time to time.
Offered Securities may be sold directly by the Company or through agents
designated by the Company from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or
sale of the Offered Securities in respect of which this Prospectus is delivered
will be named, and any commissions payable by the Company to such agent will be
set forth, in the Prospectus Supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the
Prospectus Supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for
the period of its appointment.
If so indicated in the Prospectus Supplement, the Company will authorize
underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain specified
institutions to purchase Offered Securities from the Company at the public
offering price set forth in the Prospectus Supplement pursuant to delayed
delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the
future. Such contracts will be subject to any conditions set forth in the
Prospectus Supplement and the Prospectus Supplement will set forth the
commission payable for solicitation of such contracts. The underwriters and
other persons soliciting such contracts will have no responsibility for the
validity or performance of any such contracts.
Underwriters, dealers and agents may be entitled under agreements entered
into with the Company to indemnification by the Company against certain civil
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribution
by the Company to payments they may be required to make in respect thereof. The
terms and conditions of such indemnification will be described in an applicable
Prospectus Supplement. Underwriters, dealers and agents may be customers of,
engage in transactions with, or perform services for the Company in the ordinary
course of business.
Each series of Offered Securities other than Common Stock will be a new
issue of securities with no established trading market. Any underwriters to whom
Offered Securities are sold by the Company for public offering and sale may make
a market in such Offered Securities, but such underwriters will not be obligated
to
17
<PAGE> 19
do so and may discontinue any market making at any time without notice. No
assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for any Offered
Securities.
LEGAL OPINIONS
The validity of the Offered Securities will be passed upon for the Company
by Richard J. Ressler, Esquire, Assistant General Counsel of the Company, and
for the underwriters, dealers or agents, if any, by Cravath, Swaine & Moore,

ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
The Company is a Utah corporation. Section 16-10a-901 et. seq. of the
Revised Business Corporation Act of Utah grants to a corporation the power to
indemnify a person made a party to a lawsuit or other proceeding because such
person is or was a director or officer. A corporation is further empowered to
purchase insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer
against any liability asserted against him or her and incurred by him or her in
such capacity or arising out of his or her status as such capacity. The
Company's By-Laws provide for mandatory indemnification of its directors,
officers and employees in certain circumstances. The Company maintains insurance
on behalf of directors and officers against liability asserted against them
arising out of their status as such.
The Company's Revised Articles of Incorporation, incorporated herein as
Exhibit 3.1 to this Registration Statement, eliminate in certain circumstances
the personal liability of directors of the Company for monetary damages for a
breach of their fiduciary duty as directors. This provision does not eliminate
the liability of a director for (i) the amount of a financial benefit received
by a director to which he is not entitled, (ii) an intentional infliction of
harm on the corporation or the shareholders, (iii) a violation of Section
16-10a-842 of the Revised Business Corporation Act of Utah (relating to the
liability of directors for unlawful distributions) or (iv) an intentional
violation of criminal law.
Reference is made to Section 6 of the form of Underwriting Agreement filed
as Exhibit 1.1 and Section 7 of the form of Distribution Agreement filed as
Exhibit 1.2 for additional indemnification provisions.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
The Company hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made
of the securities registered hereby, a post-effective amendment to this
Registration Statement (i) to include any prospectus required by Section
10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933; (ii) to reflect in the prospectus
any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration
Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the
information set forth in the Registration Statement; and (iii) to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change
to such information in the Registration Statement; provided, however, that
the undertakings set forth in clauses (i) and (ii) above do not apply if
the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Company
pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that
are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial bona fide offering thereof;
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment
any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering; and
(4) That, for the purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Company's annual report pursuant
to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that is
incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to
be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the
initial bona fide offering thereof.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the provisions described under Item 15 above or otherwise,
the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is therefore unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses
incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against
the Company by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its
counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court
of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is
against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

Ex 1.1
UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION
Debt Securities
UNDERWRITING AGREEMENT
1. Introduction. Union Pacific Corporation, a Utah corporation
(the "Company"), proposes to issue and sell from time to time certain of its
debt securities registered under the registration statement referred to in
Section 2(a) ("Registered Securities"). The Registered Securities will be issued
under an indenture (the "Indenture"), between the Company and Chemical Bank, as
Trustee, in one or more series, which series may vary as to interest rates,
maturities, redemption provisions, selling prices and other terms, with all such
terms for any particular series of the Registered Securities being determined at
the time of sale. Particular series of the Registered Securities will be sold
pursuant to a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, for resale in accordance
with the terms of offering determined at the time of sale.
The Registered Securities involved in any such offering are
hereinafter referred to as the "Securities". The firm or firms which agree to
purchase the Securities are hereinafter referred to as the "Underwriters" of
such Securities, and the representative or representatives of the Underwriters,
if any, specified in a Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3 are hereinafter
referred to as the "Representatives"; provided, however, that if the Terms
Agreement does not specify any representative of the Underwriters, the term
"Representatives", as used in this Agreement (other than in Sections 2(b), 5(b)
and 6 and the second sentence of Section 3), shall mean the Underwriters.
2. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The
Company represents and warrants to, and agrees with, each Underwriter that:
(a) A registration statement, including a prospectus,
relating to the Registered Securities has been filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") on May 12,
1995 and has become
<PAGE> 2
effective. Such registration statement, as amended at the time
of any Terms Agreement referred to in Section 3, is
hereinafter referred to as the "Registration Statement". Such
Prospectus, as supplemented as contemplated by Section 3 to
reflect the terms of the Securities and the terms of offering
thereof, including all material incorporated by reference
therein, is hereinafter referred to as the "Prospectus".
(b) On the effective date of the Registration
Statement relating to the Registered Securities and of each
post-effective amendment thereto, such Registration Statement
conformed in all material respects to the requirements of the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended ("Act"), the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended ("Trust Indenture Act") and
the rules and regulations of the Commission ("Rules and
Regulations") and did not include any untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein
not misleading, and on the date of each Terms Agreement
referred to in Section 3, the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus will conform in all material respects to the
requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and the Rules
and Regulations, and neither of such documents will include
any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, except that the
foregoing does not apply to statements in or omissions from
any of such documents based upon written information furnished
to the Company by any Underwriter through the Representatives,
if any, specifically for use therein.
3. Purchase and Offering of Securities. The obligation of the
Underwriters to purchase the Securities will be evidenced by an exchange of
telegraphic or other written communications ("Terms Agreement") at the time the
Company determines to sell the Securities. The Terms Agreement will generally be
in the form attached hereto as Annex I and will incorporate by reference the
provisions of this Agreement, except as otherwise provided therein, and will
specify the firm or firms which will be Underwriters, the names of any
Representatives, the principal amount to be
<PAGE> 3
purchased by each Underwriter, the purchase price to be paid by the Underwriters
and the terms of the Securities not already specified in the Indenture,
including, but not limited to, interest rate, maturity, any redemption
provisions and any sinking fund requirements and whether any of the Securities
may be sold to institutional investors pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts
(as defined below). The Terms Agreement will also specify the time and date of
delivery and payment (such time and date, or such other time not later than
seven full business days thereafter as the Representatives and the Company agree
as the time for payment and delivery, being herein and in the Terms Agreement
referred to as the "Closing Date"), the place of delivery and payment and any
details of the terms of offering that should be reflected in the prospectus
supplement relating to the offering of the Securities. The obligations of the
Underwriters to purchase the Securities will be several and not joint. It is
understood that the Underwriters propose to offer the Securities for sale as set
forth in the Prospectus. The Securities delivered to the Underwriters on the
Closing Date will be in definitive fully registered form, in such denominations
and registered in such names as the Underwriters may request.
If the Terms Agreement provides for sales of Securities
pursuant to delayed delivery contracts, the Company authorizes the Underwriters
to solicit offers to purchase Securities pursuant to delayed delivery contracts
substantially in the form of Annex II attached hereto ("Delayed Delivery
Contracts") with such changes therein as the Company may authorize or approve.
Delayed Delivery Contracts are to be with institutional investors, including
commercial and savings banks, insurance companies, pension funds, investment
companies and educational and charitable institutions. On the Closing Date the
Company will pay, as compensation, to the Representatives for the accounts of
the Underwriters, the fee set forth in such Terms Agreement in respect of the
principal amount of Securities to be sold pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts
("Contract Securities"). The Underwriters will not have any responsibility in
respect of the validity or the performance of Delayed Delivery Contracts. If the
Company executes and delivers Delayed Delivery Contracts, the Contract
Securities will be deducted from the Securities to be purchased by the several
Underwriters and the aggregate principal amount of Securi-
<PAGE> 4
ties to be purchased by each Underwriter will be reduced pro rata in proportion
to the principal amount of Securities set forth opposite each Underwriter's name
in such Terms Agreement, except to the extent that the Representatives determine
that such reduction shall be otherwise than pro rata and so advise the Company.
The Company will advise the Representatives not later than the business day
prior to the Closing Date of the principal amount of Contract Securities.
4. Certain Agreements of the Company. The Company agrees with
the several Underwriters that it will furnish to Cravath, Swaine & Moore,
special counsel for the Underwriters (or any other counsel named as counsel for
the Underwriters in any Terms Agreement), one signed copy of the Registration
Statement relating to the Registered Securities, including all exhibits, in the
form it became effective and of all amendments thereto and that, in connection
with each offering of Securities:
(a) The Company will advise the Representatives
promptly of any proposal to amend or supplement the
Registration Statement or the Prospectus and will afford the
Representatives a reasonable opportunity to comment on any
such proposed amendment or supplement; and the Company will
also advise the Representatives promptly of the filing of any
such amendment or supplement and of the institution by the
Commission of any stop order proceedings in respect of the
Registration Statement or of any part thereof and will use its
best efforts to prevent the issuance of any such stop order
and to obtain as soon as possible its lifting, if issued.
(b) If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the
Securities is required to be delivered under the Act, any
event occurs as a result of which the Prospectus as then
amended or supplemented would include an untrue statement of a
material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to
make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is
necessary at any time to amend the Prospectus to comply with
the Act, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the
Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct such
statement or omission or an amendment
<PAGE> 5
which will effect such compliance.

5. Conditions of the Obligations of the Underwriters. The
obligations of the several Underwriters to purchase and pay for the Securities

Company of its obligations hereunder and to the following additional conditions
precedent:
(a) No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement or of any part thereof shall have been
issued and no proceedings for that purpose shall have been
instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company or any
Underwriter, shall be contemplated by the Commission.
(b) Subsequent to the execution of the Terms
Agreement, there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or
any development involving a prospective change, in or
affecting particularly the business or properties of the
Company or its subsidiaries which, in the judgment of a
majority in interest of the Underwriters, including any
Representatives, materially impairs the investment quality of
the Securities; (ii) any downgrading in the rating of the
Company's debt securities by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.,
or Standard & Poor's Corporation; (iii) any suspension or
limitation of trading in securities generally on the
<PAGE> 7
New York Stock Exchange, or any setting of minimum prices for
trading on such exchange, or any suspension of trading of any
securities of the Company on any exchange or in the
over-the-counter market; (iv) any banking moratorium declared
by Federal or New York authorities; or (v) any outbreak or
escalation of major hostilities in which the United States is
involved, any declaration of war by Congress or any other
substantial national or international calamity or emergency
if, in the judgment of a majority in interest of the
Underwriters, including any Representatives, the effect of any
such outbreak, escalation, declaration, calamity or emergency
makes it impractical or inadvisable to proceed with completion
of the sale of and payment for the Securities.
(c) The Representatives shall have received an
opinion, dated the Closing Date, of the Senior Vice President
and General Counsel or Assistant General Counsel of the
Company or other counsel satisfactory to the Representatives,
to the effect that:
(i) the Company has been duly incorporated
and is an existing corporation in good standing under
the laws of the State of Utah, with corporate power
and authority to own its properties and conduct its
business as described in the Prospectus; and the
Company is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
corporation in good standing in all other
jurisdictions in which it owns or leases substantial
properties;
(ii) the Indenture has been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company and has been
duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act; the
Securities have been duly authorized; the Securities
other than any Contract Securities have been duly
executed, authenticated, issued and delivered; the
Indenture and the Securities other than any Contract
Securities constitute, and any Contract Securities,
when executed, authenticated, issued and delivered in
the manner provided in the Indenture and sold
pursuant to Delayed Delivery Contracts, will
constitute, valid and legally binding obligations of
the Company, enforceable in
<PAGE> 8
accordance with their terms, subject, as to
enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and other laws of general
applicability relating to or affecting creditors'
rights and to general equitable principles; and the
Securities other than any Contract Securities
conform, and any Contract Securities, when so issued
and delivered and sold, will conform, to the
description thereof contained in the Prospectus;
(iii) no consent, approval, authorization or
order of, or filing with, any governmental agency or
body or any court is required for the consummation of
the transactions contemplated by the Terms Agreement
(including the provisions of this Agreement), except
such as have been obtained and made under the Act and
the Trust Indenture Act and such as may be required
under state securities laws in connection with the
issuance or sale of the Securities by the Company;
(iv) the execution, delivery and performance
of the Indenture, the Terms Agreement (including the
provisions of this Agreement) and any Delayed
Delivery Contracts and the issuance and sale of the
Securities and compliance with the terms and
provisions thereof will not result in a breach or
violation of any of the terms and provisions of, or
constitute a default under, any statute, any rule,
regulation or order of any governmental agency or
body or any court having jurisdiction over the
Company or any of its properties or any agreement or
instrument to which the Company is a party or by
which the Company is bound or to which any of the
properties of the Company is subject, or the charter
or by-laws of the Company, and the Company has full
power and authority to authorize, issue and sell the
Securities as contemplated by the Terms Agreement
(including the provisions of this Agreement);
(v) the Registration Statement has become
effective under the Act, and, to the best of the
knowledge of such counsel, no stop order suspending
the effectiveness of the Registration State-
<PAGE> 9
ment or of any part thereof has been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or
are pending or contemplated under the Act;
(vi) based on the information gained in the
course, in such counsel's role as General Counsel or
Assistant General Counsel, of such counsel's
participation in certain meetings and making of
certain inquiries and investigations in connection
with the preparation of the Registration Statement
and Prospectus, the Registration Statement relating
to the Registered Securities and each post-effective
amendment thereto, as of their respective effective
dates, the Registration Statement and the
Prospectus, as of the date the Prospectus was filed
with the Commission and as of the Closing Date, and
any amendment or supplement thereto, as of its date,
appeared on their face to be appropriately
responsive in all material respects to the
requirements of the Act, the Trust Indenture Act and
the Rules and Regulations; nothing has come to such
counsel's attention in the course of performing such
activities that caused such counsel to believe that
the Registration Statement, as of its effective
date, the Registration Statement or the Prospectus,
as of the date the Prospectus was filed with the
Commission and as of the Closing Date, or any such
amendment or supplement, as of its date, contain or
contained any untrue statement of a material fact or
omitted to state any material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, provided, however, that such
counsel may state that in rendering the foregoing
opinions in this clause (vi), such counsel does not
assume responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of statements made in the Registration
Statement and Prospectus; the descriptions in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectus of
statutes, legal and governmental proceedings and
contracts and other documents fairly present the
information required to be shown; and such counsel
does not know of any legal or governmental
proceedings required to be described in the
Prospectus which are not described as required or of
any contracts or documents of a character required
to be described in the Registration Statement or
Prospectus or to be filed as exhibits to the
Registration Statement which are not described and
filed as required; it being understood that such
counsel need express no
<PAGE> 10
opinion as to the financial statements or other
financial data contained in the Registration
Statement or the Prospectus; and
(vii) the Terms Agreement (including the
provisions of this Agreement) and any Delayed
Delivery Contracts have been duly authorized,
executed and delivered by the Company.
In rendering such opinion, such Senior Vice President and General Counsel,
Assistant General Counsel or other counsel may rely as to the incorporation of
the Company, the authorization, execution and delivery of the Terms Agreement
and all other matters governed by Utah law upon the opinion of Steven A.
Goodsell, Esq., or other Utah counsel satisfactory to the Representatives, a
copy of which shall be delivered concurrently with the opinion of such General
Counsel, Assistant General Counsel or other counsel.
(d) The Representatives shall have received from
Cravath, Swaine & Moore, special counsel for the Underwriters
(or any other counsel named as counsel for the Underwriters in
any Terms Agreement), such opinion or opinions, dated the
Closing Date, with respect to the incorporation of the
Company, the validity of the Securities, the Registration
Statement, the Prospectus and other related matters as the
Representatives may require, and the Company shall have
furnished to such counsel such documents as they request for
the purpose of enabling them to pass upon such matters. In
rendering such opinion, Cravath, Swaine & Moore (or such other
counsel for the Underwriters named in any Terms Agreement) may
rely as to the incorporation of the Company, the
authorization, execution and delivery of the Terms Agreement
and all other matters governed by Utah law upon the opinion
of Steven A. Goodsell, Esq., or such other counsel as
referred to above.
(e) The Representatives shall have received a
certificate, dated the Closing Date, of the Chairman, the
President, any Senior Vice President, the Treasurer or any
Vice-President and a principal financial or accounting officer
of the Company in which such officers, to the best of their
knowledge after reasonable investigation, state that the
representations and warranties of the Company in this
Agreement are true
<PAGE> 11
and correct, that the Company has complied with all agreements
and satisfied all conditions on its part to be performed or
satisfied hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date, that no
stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration
Statement or of any part thereof has been issued and no
proceedings for that purpose have been instituted or are
contemplated by the Commission and that, subsequent to the
date of the most recent financial statements in the
Prospectus, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial position or results of operations of the Company and
its subsidiaries taken as a whole except as set forth in or
contemplated by the Prospectus or as described in such
certificate.
(f) The Representatives shall have received a letter,
dated the Closing Date, of Deloitte & Touche LLP, or any
successor firm, confirming that they are independent public
accountants within the meaning of the Act and the applicable
published Rules and Regulations thereunder, and stating in
effect that:
(i) in their opinion, the financial
statements and schedules examined by them and
included in the Prospectus contained in the
Registration Statement relating to the Registered
Securities, as amended to the date of such letter,
comply in form in all material respects with the
applicable accounting requirements of the Act and the
related published Rules and Regulations;
(ii) on the basis of a reading of the latest
available interim financial statements of the
Company, inquiries of officials of the Company who
have responsibility for financial and accounting
matters and other specified procedures, nothing came
to their attention that caused them to believe that:
(A) the unaudited financial
statements, if any, included in the
Prospectus do not comply in form in all
material respects with the applicable
accounting requirements of the Act and the
related published Rules and Regulations or
are not in conformity with
<PAGE> 12
generally accepted accounting principles
applied on a basis substantially consistent
with that of the audited financial
statements included in the Prospectus;
(B) the unaudited capsule
information, if any, included in the
Prospectus does not agree with the amounts
set forth in the unaudited consolidated
financial statements from which it was
derived or was not determined on a basis
substantially consistent with that of the
audited financial statements included in the
Prospectus;
(C) at the date of the latest
available balance sheet read by such
accountants, or at a subsequent specified
date not more than five days prior to the
Closing Date, there was any change in the
capital stock or any increase in short-term
indebtedness or long-term debt of the
Company and consolidated subsidiaries or, at
the date of the latest available balance
sheet read by such accountants, there was
any decrease in consolidated net assets, as
compared with amounts shown on the latest
balance sheet included in the Prospectus; or
(D) for the period from the date of
the latest income statement included in the
Prospectus to the closing date of the latest
available income statement read by such
accountants there were any decreases, as
compared with the corresponding period of
the previous year, in consolidated net
sales, operating income, income before
extraordinary items or net income;
except in all cases set forth in clauses (C) and (D) above for
changes or decreases which the Prospectus discloses have
occurred or may occur or which are described in such letter;
and
(iii) they have compared specified dollar
amounts (or percentages derived from such dollar
<PAGE> 13
amounts) and other financial information included in
the Prospectus (in each case to the extent that such
dollar amounts, percentages and other financial
information are contained in the general accounting
records of the Company and its subsidiaries subject
to the internal controls of the Company's accounting
system or are derived directly from such records by
analysis or computation) with the results obtained
from inquiries, a reading of such general accounting
records and other procedures specified in such letter
and have found such dollar amounts, percentages and
other financial information to be in agreement with
such results, except as otherwise specified in such
letter. All financial statements and schedules
included in material incorporated by reference into
the Prospectus shall be deemed included in the
Prospectus.
The Company will furnish the Representatives with such conformed copies of such
opinions, certificates, letters and documents as they reasonably request.
6. Indemnification and Contribution. (a) The Company will
indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter against any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities, joint or several, to which such Underwriter may become subject,
under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in
the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement
thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary prospectus
supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission
to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to
make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse each Underwriter
for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Underwriter in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the
Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss,
claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged
<PAGE> 14
omission from any of such documents in reliance upon and in conformity with
written information furnished to the Company by any Underwriter through the
Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein.
(b) Each Underwriter will indemnify and hold harmless the
Company against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company
may become subject, under the Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims,
damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based
upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact
contained in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus, or any amendment or
supplement thereto, or any related preliminary prospectus or preliminary
prospectus supplement, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or the
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the
extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in
conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Underwriter
through the Representatives, if any, specifically for use therein, and will
reimburse any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by the Company in
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or action as such expenses are incurred.
(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party
under subsection (a) or (b) above, notify the indemnifying party of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will
not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
otherwise than under subsection (a) or (b) above. In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party and it notifies the indemnifying party of
the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying
party similarly notified, to assume the defense thereof, with counsel
satisfactory to such indemnified party (who shall not, except with the consent
of the indemnified party, be counsel to the indemnifying
<PAGE> 15
party), and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party
of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will
not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section for any legal or
other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section is
unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under
subsection (a) or (b) above, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to
the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of the losses,
claims, damages or liabilities referred to in subsection (a) or (b) above (i) in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by
the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other from the offering
of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not
permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not
only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative
fault of the Company on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other in
connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses,
claims, damages or liabilities as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations. The relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand
and the Underwriters on the other shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting expenses) received
by the Company bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received
by the Underwriters. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to,
among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material
fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to
information supplied by the Company or the Underwriters and the parties'
relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or
prevent such untrue statement or omission. The amount paid by an indemnified
party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to in
the first sentence of this subsection (d) shall be deemed to include any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection
with investigating or defending any action or claim which is the subject of this
subsection (d). Notwithstanding the
<PAGE> 16
provisions of this subsection (d), no Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Securities underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to
the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such Underwriter has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue
statement or omission or alleged omission. No person guilty of fraudulent
misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be
entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations in this subsection (d) to
contribute are several in proportion to their respective underwriting
obligations and not joint.
(e) The obligations of the Company under this Section shall be
in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have and shall
extend, upon the same terms and conditions, to each person, if any, who controls
any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act; and the obligations of the
Underwriters under this Section shall be in addition to any liability which the
respective Underwriters may otherwise have and shall extend, upon the same terms
and conditions, to each director of the Company, to each officer of the Company
who has signed the Registration Statement and to each person, if any, who
controls the Company within the meaning of the Act.
7. Default of Underwriters. If any Underwriter or Underwriters
default in their obligations to purchase Securities under the Terms Agreement
and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities that such defaulting
Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase does not exceed 10% of
the total principal amount of the Securities, the Representatives may make
arrangements satisfactory to the Company for the purchase of such Securities by
other persons, including any of the Underwriters, but if no such arrangements
are made by the Closing Date, the non-defaulting Underwriters shall be obligated
severally, in proportion to their respective commitments under this Agreement
and the Terms Agreement, to purchase the Securities that such defaulting
Underwriters agreed but failed to purchase. If any Underwriter or Underwriters
so default and the aggregate principal amount of the Securities with respect to
which such default or defaults occur exceeds
<PAGE> 17
10% of the total principal amount of the Securities and arrangements
satisfactory to the Representatives and the Company for the purchase of such
Securities by other persons are not made within 36 hours after such default,
such Terms Agreement will terminate without liability on the part of any
nondefaulting Underwriter or the Company, except as provided in Section 8. As
used in this Agreement, the term "Underwriter" includes any person substituted
for an Underwriter under this Section. Nothing herein will relieve a defaulting
Underwriter from liability for its default. The respective commitments of the
several Underwriters for the purposes of this Section shall be determined
without regard to reduction in the respective Underwriters' obligations to
purchase the principal amounts of the Securities set forth opposite their names
in the Terms Agreement as a result of Delayed Delivery Contracts entered into by
the Company.
The foregoing obligations and agreements set forth in this
Section will not apply if the Terms Agreement specifies that such obligations
and agreements will not apply.
8. Survival of Certain Representations and Obligations. The
respective indemnities, agreements, representations, warranties and other
statements of the Company or its officers and of the several Underwriters set
forth in or made pursuant to this Agreement will remain in full force and
effect, regardless of any investigation, or statement as to the results thereof,
made by or on behalf of any Underwriter, the Company or any of their respective
representatives, officers or directors or any controlling person, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the Securities. If the Terms Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Section 7 or if for any reason the purchase of the
Securities by the Underwriters under the Terms Agreement is not consummated, the
Company shall remain responsible for the expenses to be paid or reimbursed by it
pursuant to Section 4 and the respective obligations of the Company and the
Underwriters pursuant to Section 6 shall remain in effect. If the purchase of
the Securities by the Underwriters is not consummated for any reason other than
because of the termination of the Terms Agreement pursuant to Section 7 or the
occurrence of any event specified in Section 5(b), the Company will reimburse
the Underwriters for all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
disbursements of
<PAGE> 18
counsel) reasonably incurred by them in connection with the offering of the
Securities.
9. Notices. All communications hereunder will be in writing
and, if sent to the Underwriters, will be mailed, delivered or telegraphed and
confirmed to them at their addresses furnished to the Company in writing for the
purpose of communications hereunder or, if sent to the Company, will be mailed,
delivered or telegraphed and confirmed to it at Eighth and Eaton Avenues,
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18018, Attention: Treasurer.
10. Successors. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon the Company and such Underwriters as are identified in the
Terms Agreement and their respective successors and the officers and directors
and controlling persons referred to in Section 6, and no other person will have
any right or obligation hereunder.
11. Applicable Law. This Agreement and the Terms Agreement
shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of
New York.

If the Securities are denominated in a currency other than
United States dollars, make appropriate modifications to provisions of Terms
Agreement (e.g., type of funds specified under "Closing") and consider including
in the Terms Agreement such changes and additions to the Underwriting Agreement
as may be appropriate in the circumstances, e.g., expanding Section 4(h) to
cover debt securities denominated in the currency in which the Securities are
denominated, expanding Section 5(c)(iv) to cover a banking moratorium declared
by authorities in the country of such currency, expanding Section 5(c)(v) to
cover a change or prospective change in, or governmental action affecting,
exchange controls applicable to such currency, and modifying Section 5(d) to
permit a statement to the effect that enforcement of the Indenture and the
Securities is subject to provisions of law which may require that a judgment for
money damages rendered by a court in the United States be expressed only in
United States dollars and appropriate exceptions as to any provisions requiring
payment of additional amounts. Also consider requiring an opinion of counsel for
the Company confirming information as

for the Company regarding such matters as foreign consents, approvals,
authorizations, licenses, waivers, withholding taxes, transfer or stamp taxes

this Indenture to be given or taken by Securityholders or Securityholders of any
series may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments of
substantially similar tenor signed by such Securityholders in person or by an
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
Company. If any Securities are denominated in coin or currency other than that
of the United States, then for the purposes of determining whether the Holders
of the requisite principal amount of Securities have taken any action as herein
described, the principal amount of such Securities shall be deemed to be that
amount of United States dollars that could be obtained for such principal amount
on the basis of the spot rate of exchange into United States dollars for the
currency in which such Securities are denominated (as evidenced to the Trustee
by an Officers' Certificate) as of the date the taking of such action by the
Holders of such requisite principal amount is evidenced to the Trustee as
provided in the immediately preceding sentence. Such instrument or instruments
(and the action embodied therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes
referred to as the "Act" of the Securityholders 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 601) conclusive in favor of the Trustee and the Company,
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 to such
execution or by the certificate of any notary public or other officer authorized
by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
<PAGE> 20
13
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by an officer of a corporation or a member of a
partnership, on behalf of such corporation or partnership, such certificate or
affidavit shall also constitute sufficient proof of his 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 ownership of Securities shall be proved by the Security
Register.
(d) If the Company shall solicit from the Holders any request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, the
Company may, at its option, by Board Resolution, fix in advance a record date
for the determination of Holders entitled to give such request, demand,
authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, but the
Company shall have no obligation to do so. If such a record date is fixed, such
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other
action may be given before or after the record date, but only the Holders of
record at the close of business on the record date shall be deemed to be Holders
for the purposes of determining whether Holders of the requisite proportion of
Securities Outstanding have authorized or agreed or consented to such request,
demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or other action, and
for that purpose the Securities Outstanding shall be computed as of the record
date; provided that no such authorization, agreement or consent by the Holders
on the record date shall be deemed effective unless it shall become effective
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture not later than six months after the
record date.
(e) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Security shall bind the
Holder of every Security issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done or suffered to be done
by the Trustee or the Company in reliance thereon whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.
Section 105. Notices, etc., to Trustee and Company. Any
request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or Act of
Securityholders or other
<PAGE> 21
14
document provided or permitted by this Indenture to be made upon, given or
furnished to, or filed with,
(1) the Trustee by any Securityholder or by the Company shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or
filed in writing to or with the Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office,
or
(2) the Company by the Trustee or by any Securityholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder (except as provided in
Section 501(4) or, in the case of a request for repayment, as specified
in the Security carrying the right to repayment) if in writing and
mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company addressed to it at
the address of its principal office specified in the first paragraph of
this instrument or at any other address previously furnished in writing
to the Trustee by the Company.
Section 106. Notices to Securityholders; Waiver. Where this
Indenture or any Security provides for notice to Securityholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein or in such
Security expressly provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage
prepaid, to each Securityholder affected by such event, at his address as it
appears in the Security Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice. In any
case where notice to Securityholders is given by mail, neither the failure to
mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular
Securityholder shall affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to other
Securityholders. Where this Indenture or any Security provides for notice in any
manner, such notice may be waived in writing by the Person entitled to receive
such notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Securityholders shall be filed
with the Trustee, but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such waiver.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail service as
a result of a strike, work stoppage or otherwise, it shall be impractical to
mail notice of any event to any Securityholder when such notice is required to
be given pursuant to any provision of this Indenture, then any method of
notification as shall be satisfactory to the
<PAGE> 22
15
Trustee and the Company shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such
notice.
Section 107. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with the duties imposed by any
of Sections 310 to 317, inclusive, of the Trust Indenture Act through the
operation of Section 318(c)thereof, such imposed duties shall control.
Section 108. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The
Article and Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for
convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.
Section 109. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture by the Company shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not.
Section 110. Separability Clause. In case any provision in this
Indenture or in the Securities shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby.
Section 111. Benefits of Indenture. Nothing in this Indenture
or in any Securities, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than
the parties hereto and their successors hereunder, any Authenticating Agent or
Paying Agent, the Security Registrar and the Holders of Securities (or such of
them as may be affected thereby), any benefit or any legal or equitable right,
remedy or claim under this Indenture.
Section 112. Governing Law. This Indenture shall be construed
in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York.
Section 113. Counterparts. This instrument may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.
Section 114. Judgment Currency. The Company agrees, to the
fullest extent that it may effectively do so under applicable law, that (a) if
for the purpose of obtaining judgment in any court it is necessary to convert
<PAGE> 23
16
the sum due in respect of the principal of, or premium or interest, if any, on
the Securities of any series (the "Required Currency") into a currency in which
a judgment will be rendered (the "Judgment Currency"), the rate of exchange used
shall be the rate at which in accordance with normal banking procedures the
Trustee could purchase in the City of New York the Required Currency with the
Judgment Currency on the New York Banking Day (as defined below) preceding that
on which final unappealable judgment is given and (b) its obligations under this
Indenture to make payments in the Required Currency (i) shall not be discharged
or satisfied by any tender, or any recovery pursuant to any judgment (whether or
not entered in accordance with subsection (a)), in any currency other than the
Required Currency, except to the extent that such tender or recovery shall
result in the actual receipt, by the payee, of the full amount of the Required
Currency expressed to be payable in respect of such payments, (ii) shall be
enforceable as an alternative or additional cause of action for the purpose of
recovering in the Required Currency the amount, if any, by which such actual
receipt shall fall short of the full amount of the Required Currency so
expressed to be payable and (iii) shall not be affected by judgment being
obtained for any other sum due under this Indenture. For purposes of the
foregoing, "New York Banking Day" means any day except a Saturday, Sunday or a
legal holiday in the City of New York or a day on which banking institutions in
the City of New York are authorized or required by law or executive order to
close.

or by the Depositary or any such nominee to a successor Depositary or a nominee
of such successor Depositary."
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 204 or
of Section 305, and subject to the provisions of paragraph (c) below, unless the
terms of a Global Security expressly permit such Global Security to be exchanged
in whole or in part for individual Securities, a Global Security may be
transferred, in whole but not in part and in the manner provided in Section 305,
only to a nominee of the Depositary for such Global Security, or to the
Depositary, or a successor Depositary for such Global Security selected or

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or other applicable statute or regulation, the
Company shall appoint a successor Depositary with respect to such Global
Security.

Company within 90 days after the Company receives such notice or becomes aware
of such ineligibility, the Company will execute, and the Trustee or its agent,
upon receipt of a Company Request for the authentication and delivery of
individual Securities of such series in exchange for such Global Security, will
authenticate and deliver, individual Securities of such series of like tenor and
terms in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of the

(ii) The Company may at any time and in its sole discretion
determine that the Securities of any series or portion thereof issued or

represented by such Global Security or Securities. In such event the Company
will execute, and the Trustee, upon receipt of a Company Request for the
authentication and delivery of individual Securities of such series in exchange
in whole or in part for such Global Security, will authenticate and deliver
individual Securities of such series of like tenor and terms in definitive form
in an aggregate principal amount equal to the principal amount of such Global
Security or Securities representing such series or portion thereof in exchange
for such Global Security or Securities.
(iii) If specified by the Company pursuant to Sections 202 and

Security, the Depositary for such Global Security may surrender such Global
Security in exchange in whole or in part for individual Securities of such
series of like tenor and terms in definitive form on such terms as are
acceptable to the Company and such Depositary. Thereupon the Company shall
execute, and the Trustee or its agent shall authenticate and deliver, without
service charge, (1) to each Person specified by such Depositary a new Security
or Securities of the same series of like tenor and terms and of any authorized
denomination as requested by such Person in aggregate principal amount equal to

(iv) In any exchange provided for in any of the preceding three
paragraphs, the Company will execute and the Trustee or its agent will
authenticate and deliver individual Securities in definitive registered form in
authorized denominations. Upon the exchange of the entire principal amount of a
Global Security for individual Securities, such Global Security shall be
cancelled by the Trustee or its agent. Except as provided in the preceding
paragraph, Securities issued in exchange for a Global Security pursuant to this
Section 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 or the
Security Registrar. The Trustee or the Security Registrar shall deliver such
Securities to the Persons in whose names such Securities are so registered.

series, at the option of the Holders thereof, for or into new
Securities of a different series or other securities or other property,

stated to be payable, the period or periods within which, and the terms
and conditions upon which, such election may be made;
(5) if the amount of payments of principal of (and premium, if
any) or interest, if any, on the Securities of such series may be

European Currency Units) other than that in which the Securities are
stated to be payable, (ii) changes in the price of one or more other
securities or groups or indexes of securities or (iii) changes in the

series is to be limited, such limitations;

in one or more places other than the location of the office of the
Trustee with power to act on behalf of the Trustee and subject to its
direction in the authentication and delivery of the Securities of any
one or more series in connection with such transactions as shall be
specified in the provisions of this Indenture or in or pursuant to the
Board Resolution or the supplemental indenture creating such series;

series, if other than the total principal amount thereof, which shall
be payable upon declaration of acceleration of the Maturity thereof

making any Event of Default set forth herein inapplicable to the
Securities of that series);
(11) any covenant solely for the benefit of the Securities of
such series and any additions, deletions or other changes to the

provision making any Section of such Article inapplicable to the
Securities of such series);
<PAGE> 30
23
(12) the applicability of Section 403 of this Indenture to the
Securities of such series;
(13) if the Securities of the series shall be issued in whole
or in part in the form of a Global Security or Global Securities, the
terms and conditions, if any, upon which such Global Security or Global
Securities may be exchanged in whole or in part for other individual

in or pursuant to a supplemental indenture with respect to such series. All
Securities of the same series shall be substantially identical in tenor and
effect, except as to denomination.
The form of the Securities of each series shall be established
pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture in or pursuant to the Board
Resolution or in or pursuant to the supplemental indenture creating such series.
The Securities of each series shall be distinguished from the Securities of each
other series in such manner, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, as the
Board of Directors may determine.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to Securities of a
particular series, the Securities of any series may only be issuable in
registered form, without coupons.
Any terms or provisions in respect of the Securities of any
series issued under this Indenture may be determined pursuant to this Section by
providing in a Board Resolution or supplemental indenture for the method by
which such terms or provisions shall be determined.
Section 302. Denominations. The Securities of each series shall
be issuable in such denominations and
<PAGE> 31
24
currency as shall be provided in the provisions of this Indenture or in or
pursuant to the Board Resolution or the supplemental indenture creating such
series. In the absence of any such provisions with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Securities of that series shall be issuable only in fully
registered form in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple thereof.
Section 303. Execution, Authentication and Delivery and Dating.
The Securities shall be executed on behalf of the Company by its Chairman of the
Board, its President, one of its Vice Presidents or its Treasurer under its
corporate seal reproduced thereon and attested by its Secretary or one of its
Assistant Secretaries. The signature of any of these officers on the Securities
may be manual or facsimile.
Securities bearing the manual or facsimile signatures of
individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the Company shall bind
the Company, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
hold such offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Securities or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Securities.
At any time and from time to time after the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Company may deliver Securities executed by the
Company to the Trustee for authentication; and the Trustee shall, upon Company
Order, authenticate and deliver such Securities as in this Indenture provided
and not otherwise.
Prior to any such authentication and delivery, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive, in addition to any Officers' Certificate and
Opinion of Counsel required to be furnished to the Trustee pursuant to Section
102, and the Board Resolution and any certificate relating to the issuance of
the series of Securities required to be furnished pursuant to Section 202, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that:
(1) all instruments furnished to the Trustee conform to the
requirements of the Indenture and constitute sufficient authority
hereunder for the Trustee to authenticate and deliver such Securities;
(2) the form and terms (or in connection with the issuance of
medium-term Securities under Section 311, the manner of determining the
terms) of such Securities
<PAGE> 32
25
have been established in conformity with the provisions of this
Indenture;
(3) all laws and requirements with respect to the execution and
delivery by the Company of such Securities have been complied with, the
Company has the corporate power to issue such Securities and such
Securities have been duly authorized and delivered by the Company and,
assuming due authentication and delivery by the Trustee, constitute
legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in
accordance with their terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other
laws and legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from
time to time in effect and to general equitable principles, whether
applied in an action at law or in equity) and entitled to the benefits
of this Indenture, equally and ratably with all other Securities, if
any, of such series Outstanding;
(4) the Indenture is qualified under the Trust Indenture Act;
and
(5) such other matters as the Trustee may reasonably request;
and, if the authentication and delivery relates to a new series of Securities
created by an indenture supplemental hereto, also stating that all laws and
requirements with respect to the form and execution by the Company of the
supplemental indenture with respect to that series of Securities have been
complied with, the Company has corporate power to execute and deliver any such
supplemental indenture and has taken all necessary corporate action for those
purposes and any such supplemental indenture has been executed and delivered and
constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
in accordance with its terms (subject, as to enforcement of remedies, to
applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or other laws and
legal principles affecting creditors' rights generally from time to time in
effect and to general equitable principles, whether applied in an action at law
or in equity).
The Trustee shall not be required to authenticate such
Securities if the issue thereof will adversely affect the Trustee's own rights,
duties or immunities under the Securities and this Indenture.
<PAGE> 33
26
Unless otherwise provided in the form of Security for any
series, all Securities shall be dated the date of their authentication.
No Security shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be valid
or obligatory for any purpose unless there appears on such Security a
certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Trustee by manual signature of an authorized officer, and such
certificate upon any Security shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Security has been duly authenticated and delivered
hereunder.
Section 304. Temporary Securities. Pending the preparation of
definitive Securities of any series, the Company may execute, and, upon receipt
of the documents required by Section 303, together with a Company Order, the
Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, temporary Securities which are printed,
lithographed, typewritten, mimeographed or otherwise produced, in any authorized
denomination, substantially of the tenor of the definitive Securities in lieu of
which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions, omissions,
substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such Securities may
determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Securities.
If temporary Securities of any series are issued, the Company
will cause definitive Securities of such series to be prepared without
unreasonable delay. After the preparation of definitive Securities, the
temporary Securities of such series shall be exchangeable for definitive
Securities of such series upon surrender of the temporary Securities of such
series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of Payment, without
charge to the Holder; and upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more
temporary Securities the Company shall execute and the Trustee shall
authenticate and deliver in exchange therefor a like principal amount of
definitive Securities of such series of authorized denominations and of like
tenor and terms. Until so exchanged the temporary Securities of such series
shall in all respects be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as
definitive Securities of such series.
Section 305. Registration, Transfer and Exchange. The Company
shall keep or cause to be kept a register (herein sometimes referred to as the
"Security Register") in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as it may
prescribe, the Company shall provide for the registration of
<PAGE> 34
27
Securities, or of Securities of a particular series, and for transfers of
Securities or of Securities of such series. Any such 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 information contained in
such register or registers shall be available for inspection by the Trustee at
the office or agency to be maintained by the Company as provided in Section
1002.
Subject to Section 204, upon surrender for transfer of any
Security of any series at the office or agency of the Company in a Place of
Payment, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Securities of such series of any authorized denominations, of a like
aggregate principal amount and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms.
Subject to Section 204, at the option of the Holder, Securities
of any series may be exchanged for other Securities of such series of any
authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount and Stated
Maturity and of like tenor and terms, upon surrender of the Securities to be
exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered
for exchange, the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate
and deliver, the Securities which the Securityholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive.
All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of
Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same
debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities
surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed,
or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Company and the Security Registrar duly executed, by the Holder thereof or
his attorney duly authorized in writing.
Unless otherwise provided in the Security to be transferred or
exchanged, no service charge shall be made on any Securityholder for any
transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may (unless otherwise
provided in such Security) require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax
or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer
or exchange of
<PAGE> 35
28
Securities, other than exchanges pursuant to Section 304 or 906 not involving
any transfer.
The Company shall not be required (i) to issue, transfer or
exchange any Security of any series during a period beginning at the opening of
business 15 days before the day of the mailing of a notice of redemption of
Securities of such series selected for redemption under Section 1103 and ending
at the close of business on the date of such mailing, or (ii) to transfer or
exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except
for the portion of such Security not so selected for redemption.
None of the Company, the Trustee, any agent of the Trustee, any
Paying Agent or the Security Registrar will 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.
The Company initially appoints the Trustee to act as Security
Registrar for the Securities on its behalf. The Company may at any time and from
time to time authorize any Person to act as Security Registrar in place of the
Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under this Indenture.
Section 306. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and 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 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 like tenor, series, Stated Maturity 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.
<PAGE> 36
29
Upon the issuance of any new Security under this Section, the
Company may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Every new Security issued pursuant to this Section 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 benefits of this Indenture equally and proportionately with
any and all other Securities of the same series duly issued hereunder.
The provisions of this Section 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 307. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Unless otherwise provided with respect to such Security pursuant to Section 301,
interest on any Security which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly
provided for, on any Interest Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in whose
name that Security (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on the Regular Record Date for such interest.
Any interest on any Security 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 Regular Record Date by virtue of his having
been such Holder; and, except as hereinafter provided, such Defaulted Interest
may be paid by the Company, at its election in each case, as provided in Clause
(1) or Clause (2) below:
(1) The Company may elect to make payment of any Defaulted
Interest to the Persons in whose names any such Securities (or their
respective Predecessor Securities) are registered at the close of
business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest, which shall be fixed in the following manner. The Company
shall notify the Trustee in writing of the amount of Defaulted Interest
proposed to be paid on each such Security and the date of the proposed
<PAGE> 37
30
payment, and at the same time the Company shall deposit with the
Trustee an amount of money equal to the aggregate amount proposed to be
paid in respect of such Defaulted Interest or shall make arrangements
satisfactory to the Trustee for such deposit prior to the date of the
proposed payment, such money when deposited to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Persons entitled to such Defaulted Interest as in this
Clause provided. Thereupon the Trustee shall fix a Special Record Date
for the payment of such Defaulted Interest which shall 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 the Holder of each such Security at his 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 such Securities (or their respective Predecessor
Securities) are registered on such Special Record Date and shall no
longer be payable pursuant to the following Clause (2).
(2) The Company may make payment of any Defaulted Interest in
any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any
securities exchange on which such Securities may be listed, and upon
such notice as may be required by such exchange, if, after notice given
by the Company to the Trustee of the proposed payment pursuant to this
Clause, such manner of payment shall be deemed practicable by the
Trustee.
If any installment of interest the Stated Maturity of which is
on or prior to the Redemption Date for any Security called for redemption
pursuant to Article Eleven is not paid or duly provided for on or prior to the
Redemption Date in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section,
such interest shall be payable as part of the Redemption Price of such
Securities.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon
<PAGE> 38
31
transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Security shall carry the
rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such
other Security.
Section 308. Persons Deemed Owners. The Company, the Trustee
and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
any Security is registered in the Security Register as the owner of such
Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium, if
any), and (subject to Section 307) interest on, such Security and for all other
purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Security be overdue, and neither the
Company, the Trustee nor any agent of the Company or the Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Section 309. Cancellation. All Securities surrendered for
payment, redemption, transfer, conversion or exchange or credit against a
sinking fund shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be
delivered to the Trustee and, if not already cancelled, shall be promptly
cancelled by it. The Company may at any time deliver to the Trustee for
cancellation any Securities previously authenticated and delivered hereunder
which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Securities
so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Trustee. No Security shall be
authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Securities cancelled as provided
in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture. The Trustee
shall dispose of all cancelled Securities in accordance with its customary
procedures and shall deliver a certificate of such disposition to the Company.
Section 310. Computation of Interest. Unless otherwise provided
as contemplated in Section 301, interest on the Securities shall be calculated
on the basis of a 360-day year of twelve 30-day months.
Section 311. Medium-term Securities. Notwithstanding any
contrary provision herein, if all Securities of a series are not to be
originally issued at one time, it shall not be necessary for the Company to
deliver to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate, Board Resolution, supplemental
indenture, Opinion of Counsel or Company Request otherwise required pursuant to
Sections 202, 301 and 303 at or prior to the time of authentication of each
Security of such series if such documents are delivered to the Trustee or its
agent at or prior to the authentication upon original issuance of the first
Security
<PAGE> 39
32
of such series to be issued; provided that any subsequent request by the Company
to the Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series upon original issuance
shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Company that as of the
date of such request, the statements made in the Officers' Certificate delivered
pursuant to Section 102 shall be true and correct as if made on such date.
An Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board
Resolution delivered by the Company to the Trustee in the circumstances set
forth in the preceding paragraph may provide that Securities which are the
subject thereof will be authenticated and delivered by the Trustee or its agent
on original issue from time to time upon the telephonic or written order of
persons designated in such Officers' Certificate, Board Resolution or
supplemental indenture (any such telephonic instructions to be confirmed
promptly in writing by such persons) and that such persons are authorized to
determine, consistent with such Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture
or Board Resolution, such terms and conditions of said Securities as are
specified in such Officers' Certificate, supplemental indenture or Board
Resolution.
ARTICLE FOUR

Section 401. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture. This
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to any series of
Securities (except as to any surviving rights of conversion, transfer or

form of Security for such series), and the Trustee, on demand of and at the
expense of the Company, shall execute proper instruments acknowledging

Company,
and the Company, in the case of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, has deposited or
caused to be deposited with the Trustee as trust funds in trust for the purpose

any reinvestment thereof, be sufficient, in the
written opinion of a firm of nationally
recognized independent public accountants
delivered to the Trustee, together with any

above shall be irrevocable. If any
<PAGE> 43

Securities of such series at the time outstanding are to be redeemed prior to
their Stated Maturity, whether pursuant to any optional redemption provisions or
in accordance with any mandatory sinking fund requirement, the Company shall
make such arrangements as are satisfactory to the Trustee for the giving of
notice of redemption by the Trustee in the name, and at the expense, of the
Company.
Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this
Section 403 with respect to all the Securities of any series at the time
Outstanding, the terms and conditions of such series (except as to any
surviving rights of conversion, transfer or exchange of Securities of such
series expressly provided for herein or in the form of Security for such
series), including the terms and conditions with respect thereto set forth in
this Indenture, shall no longer be binding upon, or applicable to, the Company,
provided that the Company shall not be discharged from any payment obligations
in respect of Securities of such series which are deemed not to be Outstanding
under clause (iii) of the definition thereof if such obligations continue to
be valid obligations of the Company under applicable law.

warranty of the Company in this Indenture in respect of the Securities
of such series (other than a covenant or warranty in respect of the
Securities of such series a default in the performance of which or the
breach of which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt with),
all of such covenants and warranties in the Indenture which are not
expressly stated to be for the benefit of a particular series of
Securities being deemed in respect of the Securities of all series for
this purpose, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of
90 days after there has been given, by registered or certified mail, to
the Company by the Trustee or to the Company and the Trustee by the
Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the Outstanding
Securities of such series, a written notice specifying such default or
breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is
a "Notice of Default" hereunder; or
(5) the entry of an order for relief against the Company under
the Federal Bankruptcy Code by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises or a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the
premises adjudging the Company a bankrupt or insolvent under any other
applicable Federal or State law, or the entry of a decree or order
approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization,
arrangement, adjustment or composition of or in respect of the Company
under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or
State law, or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee,
sequestrator (or other similar official) of the Company or of any
substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up or
liquidation of its affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or
order unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days; or
(6) the consent by the Company to the institution of bankruptcy
or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition
or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under the Federal
Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or State law, or the

<PAGE> 45
38
similar official) of the Company or of any substantial part of its
property, or the making by it of an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or the admission by it in writing of its inability to pay
its debts generally as they become due, or the taking of corporate
action by the Company in furtherance of any such action; or
(7) any other Event of Default provided in the supplemental
indenture under which such series of Securities is issued or in the
form of Security for such series.
Section 502. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and
Annulment. If an Event of Default described in paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4) or
(7) (if the Event of Default under paragraph (4) or (7) is with respect to less
than all series of Securities then Outstanding) of Section 501 occurs and is
continuing with respect to any series, then and in each and every such case,
unless the principal of all the Securities of such series shall have already
become due and payable, either the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25%
in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of such series then Outstanding
hereunder (each such series acting as a separate class), by notice in writing to
the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the principal
amount (or, if the Securities of such series are Original Issue Discount
Securities, such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the
terms of that series) of all the Securities of such series then Outstanding and
all accrued interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any
such declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Securities of such series contained to the
contrary notwithstanding. If an Event of Default described in paragraph (4) or
(7) (if the Event of Default under paragraph (4) or (7) is with respect to all
series of Securities then Outstanding), (5) or (6) of Section 501 occurs and is
continuing, then and in each and every such case, unless the principal of all
the Securities shall have already become due and payable, either the Trustee or
the Holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of all the
Securities then Outstanding hereunder (treated as one class), by notice in
writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), may declare the
principal amount (or, if any Securities are Original Issue Discount Securities,
such portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms thereof)
of all the Securities then Outstanding and all accrued
<PAGE> 46
39
interest thereon to be due and payable immediately, and upon any such
declaration the same shall become and shall be immediately due and payable,
anything in this Indenture or in the Securities contained to the contrary
notwithstanding.
At any time after such a declaration of acceleration has been
made with respect to the Securities of any series and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Trustee as
hereinafter in this Article provided, the Holders of a majority in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of such series, by written notice to the
Company and the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its
consequences if
(1) the Company has paid or deposited with the Trustee a sum
sufficient to pay
(A) all overdue installments of interest on the
Securities of such series,
(B) the principal of (and premium, if any, on) any
Securities of such series which have become due otherwise than
by such declaration of acceleration, and interest thereon at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the
Securities of such series, to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful,
(C) interest upon overdue installments of interest at
the rate or rates prescribed therefor by the terms of the
Securities of such series to the extent that payment of such
interest is lawful, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the Trustee hereunder
and the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel and all other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 607;
and
(2) all Events of Default with respect to such series of
Securities, other than the nonpayment of the principal of the
Securities of such series which have become due solely by such
acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in Section 513.
<PAGE> 47
40
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or impair any right
consequent thereon.
Section 503. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for
Enforcement by Trustee. The Company covenants that if
(1) default is made in the payment of any installment of
interest on any Security of any series when such interest becomes due
and payable, or
(2) default is made in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any, on) any Security at the Maturity thereof, or
(3) default is made in the payment of any sinking or purchase
fund or analogous obligation when the same becomes due by the terms of
the Securities of any series,
and any such default continues for any period of grace provided with respect to
the Securities of such series, the Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay
to it, for the benefit of the Holder of any such Security (or the Holders of any
such series in the case of Clause (3) above), the whole amount then due and
payable on any such Security (or on the Securities of any such series in the
case of Clause (3) above) for principal (and premium, if any) and interest, with
interest, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally
enforceable, upon the overdue principal (and premium, if any) and upon overdue
installments of interest, at such rate or rates as may be prescribed therefor by
the terms of any such Security (or of Securities of any such series in the case
of Clause (3) above); and, in addition thereto, such further amount as shall be
sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the
reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee,
its agents and counsel and all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
If the Company fails to pay such amounts forthwith upon such
demand, the Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express trust, 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 Company or any other obligor upon the Securities of
such series and collect the money adjudged or decreed to be payable in the
manner
<PAGE> 48
41
provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon
such Securities, wherever situated.
If an Event of Default with respect to any series of Securities
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 504. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim. In case of the
pendency of any receivership, insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, composition or other judicial
proceeding relative to the Company or any other obligor upon the Securities or
the property of the Company or of such other obligor or their creditors, the
Trustee (irrespective of whether the principal of the Securities shall then be
due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or otherwise and
irrespective of whether the Trustee shall have made any demand on the Company
for the payment of overdue principal or interest) shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such proceedings or otherwise,
(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 and to file such other papers or documents as may be
necessary and 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
all other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607) and of the
Securityholders 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 receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator (or other similar
official) in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each
Securityholder to make such payment to the Trustee and in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the
Securityholders, to pay to the Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable
<PAGE> 49
42
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents
and counsel, and any other amounts due the Trustee under Section 607.
Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the
Trustee to authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any
Securityholder any plan or 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 Securityholder in
any such proceeding.
Section 505. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Securities. All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities of any series may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without
the possession of any of the Securities of such series 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 agent and
counsel, be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities of the
series in respect of which such judgment has been recovered.
Section 506. Application of Money Collected. Any money
collected by the Trustee with respect to a series of Securities pursuant to this
Article shall be applied in the following order, at the date or dates fixed by
the Trustee and, in case of the distribution of such money on account of
principal (or premium, if any) or interest, upon presentation of the Securities
of such series and the notation thereon of the payment if only partially paid
and upon surrender thereof if fully paid:
FIRST: To the payment of all amounts due the Trustee under
Section 607.
SECOND: To the payment of the amounts then due and unpaid upon
the Securities of that series for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
in respect of which or for the benefit of which such money has been collected,
ratably, without preference or priority of any kind, according to the amounts
due and payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and
interest, respectively.
<PAGE> 50

Section 507. Limitation on Suits. No Holder of any Security of
any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or
otherwise, with respect to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver
or trustee, or for any other remedy hereunder, unless
(1) such Holder has previously given written notice to the
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to Securities of
such series;
(2) the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series shall have made written request
to the Trustee to institute proceedings in respect of such Event of
Default in its own name as Trustee hereunder;
(3) such Holder or Holders have offered to the Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be
incurred in compliance with such request;
(4) the Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,
request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and
(5) no direction inconsistent with such written request has
been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of such
series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Securities of
such series shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by
availing of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the
rights of any other Holders of Securities of such series, or to obtain or to
seek to obtain priority or preference over any other such Holders or to enforce
any right under this Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the
equal and proportionate benefit of all the Holders of all Securities of such
series.
Section 508. Unconditional Right of Securityholders to Receive
Principal, Premium and Interest. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this
Indenture, the Holder of any Security shall have the right, which is absolute
and unconditional, to receive payment of the principal of (and premium, if any)
and (subject to Section 307) interest on such Security on the respective Stated
Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the
<PAGE> 51
44
case of redemption or repayment, on the Redemption Date or Repayment Date, as
the case may be) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment,
and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
Section 509. Restoration of Rights and Remedies. If the Trustee
or any Securityholder has instituted any proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, then and in every such case the Company, the Trustee
and the Securityholders shall, subject to any determination in such proceeding,
be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder, and
thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Securityholders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
Section 510. Rights and Remedies Cumulative. No right or remedy
herein conferred upon or reserved to the Trustee or to the Securityholders is
intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and
remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to
every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law
or in equity or otherwise. 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 511. Delay or Omission Not Waiver. No delay or omission
of the Trustee or of any Holder of any Security 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.
Every right and remedy given by this Article or by law to the Trustee or to the
Securityholders may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be
deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Securityholders, as the case may be.
Section 512. Control by Securityholders. The Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series 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
<PAGE> 52
45
power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series,
provided that
(1) the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any
such direction if the Trustee, being advised by counsel, determines
that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken or would conflict
with this Indenture or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a
Responsible Officer, determine that the proceedings so directed would
involve it in personal liability or be unjustly prejudicial to the
Holders not taking part in such direction, and
(2) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the
Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
Section 513. Waiver of Past Defaults. The Holders of not less
than a majority in principal amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series
may on behalf of the Holders of all the Securities of such series waive any past
default hereunder with respect to such series and its consequences, except a
default not theretofore cured
(1) in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or
interest on any Security of such series, or in the payment of any
sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligation with respect to the
Securities of such series, or
(2) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under
Article Nine cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series.
Upon any such waiver, such default shall cease to exist, and
any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been cured, for
every purpose of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.
Section 514. Undertaking for Costs. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Security by his 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
<PAGE> 53
46
suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs,
including reasonable attorneys' fees, against any party litigant in such suit,
having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by
such party litigant; but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to any
suit instituted by the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any Securityholder, or
group of Securityholders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series to which the suit relates, or
to any suit instituted by any Securityholder for the enforcement of the payment
of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security on or after
the respective Stated Maturities expressed in such Security (or, in the case of
redemption or repayment, on or after the Redemption Date or Repayment Date).
Section 515. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Company
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance
of this Indenture; and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so)
hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants
that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein
granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.
ARTICLE SIX
The Trustee
Section 601. Certain Duties and Responsibilities. (a) Except
during the continuance of an Event of Default with respect to any series of
Securities,
(1) the Trustee undertakes to perform such duties and only such
duties as are specifically set forth in this Indenture with respect to
the Securities of such series, and no implied covenants or obligations
shall be read into this Indenture against the Trustee; and
(2) in the absence of bad faith on its part, the Trustee may,
with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to the
truth of the statements
<PAGE> 54
47
and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon
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) In case an Event of Default with respect to any series of
Securities has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise with
respect to the Securities of such series such of the rights and powers vested in
it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in their
exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the
conduct of his own affairs.
(c) No provision of this Indenture shall be construed to
relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that
(1) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
of Subsection (a) of this Section;
(2) the Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved
that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
(3) the Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
direction of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the

Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Indenture with respect to the Securities of such series; and
(4) no provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee to
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability
in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for
believing that repayment of
<PAGE> 55
48
such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not
reasonably assured to it.
(d) Whether or not therein expressly so provided, every
provision of this Indenture relating to the conduct or affecting the liability
of or affording protection to the Trustee shall be subject to the provisions of
this Section.
Section 602. Notice of Defaults. Within 90 days after the
occurrence of any default hereunder with respect to Securities of any series,
the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders of such series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such
default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such default shall have been
cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of a default in the
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of
such series or in the payment of any sinking or purchase fund installment or
analogous obligation with respect to 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 determine that the withholding
of such notice is in the interests of the Securityholders of such series; and
provided, further, that in the case of any default of the character specified in
Section 501(4) with respect to Securities of such series no such notice to
Securityholders of such series shall be given until at least 90 days after the
occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the term "default", with
respect to Securities of any series, means any event which is, or after notice
or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series.
Section 603. Certain Rights of Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 601:
(a) the Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or

other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;

Trustee shall deem it desirable that a matter be proved or established prior to
taking, suffering or omitting any action hereunder, the Trustee (unless other
evidence be herein specifically prescribed) may, in the absence of bad faith on
its part, rely upon an Officers' Certificate;

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 reliance thereon;

the rights or powers vested in it by this Indenture at the request or direction

it in compliance with such request or direction;
(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, direction, consent, order, bond,
debenture or other paper or document, but the Trustee, in its discretion, may
make such further inquiry or investigation into such facts or matters as it may
see fit, and, if the Trustee shall determine to make such further inquiry or
investigation, it shall be entitled to examine the books, records and premises
of the Company, personally or by agent or attorney; and

of the Securities. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Company of Securities or the proceeds thereof.

Agent, the Security Registrar or any other agent of the Company, in its
individual or any other capacity, may become the owner or pledgee of Securities

the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee, Paying Agent, Security
Registrar or such other agent.
Section 606. Money Held in Trust. Money held by the Trustee in
trust hereunder 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.

compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which
compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to
the compensation of a trustee of an express trust);
(2) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements
and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any
provision of this Indenture (including the reasonable compensation and
the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its
negligence or bad faith; and
(3) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or
bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the

<PAGE> 58

As security for the performance of the obligations of the
Company under this Section the Trustee shall have a lien prior to 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 (and premium, if any) or
interest on particular Securities.
Section 608. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests. The
Trustee for the Securities of any series issued hereunder shall be subject to
the provisions of Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act during the period of
time provided for therein. In determining whether the Trustee has a conflicting
interest as defined in Section 310(b) of the Trust Indenture Act with respect to
the Securities of any series, there shall be excluded for purposes of the
conflicting interest provisions of such Section 310(b) the Securities of every
other series issued under this Indenture and (a) the Indenture dated as of
December 27, 1990, between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee; (b) the
Indenture of Trust dated as of June 1, 1983 between Uinta County, Wyoming and

necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers, trusts and duties
of the predecessor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series as to
which the predecessor Trustee is not being succeeded shall continue to be vested
in the predecessor Trustee, and shall add to or change any of the provisions of
this Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it being
understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental indenture shall
constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same trust and that each such
Trustee shall be Trustee of a trust or trusts hereunder separate and apart from
any trust or trusts hereunder administered by any other such Trustee.

successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible with respect to that series

<PAGE> 63
55
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise qualified and eligible under this Article, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto.
In case any Securities shall have been authenticated, but not delivered, by the
Trustee then in office, any successor by merger, conversion or consolidation to
such authenticating Trustee may adopt such authentication and deliver the
Securities so authenticated with the same effect as if such successor Trustee
had itself authenticated such Securities.
Section 613. Preferential Collection of Claims Against Company.
(a) Subject to Subsection (b) of this Section, if the Trustee shall be or shall
become a creditor, directly or indirectly, secured or unsecured, of the Company
within 3 months prior to a default, as defined in Subsection (c) of this
Section, or subsequent to such a default, then, unless and until such default
shall be cured, the Trustee shall set apart and hold in a special account for
the benefit of the Trustee individually, the Holders of the Securities and the
holders of other indenture securities (as defined in Subsection (c) of this
Section):
(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 3-month period and valid
as against the Company and its other creditors, except any such
reduction resulting from the receipt or disposition of any property
described in paragraph (2) of this Subsection, or from the exercise of
any right of set-off which the Trustee could have exercised if a
petition in bankruptcy had been filed by or against the Company upon
the date of such default; and
(2) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any
claim as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in satisfaction
or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the beginning of such
3-month period, or an amount equal to the proceeds of any such
property, if disposed of, subject, however, to the rights, if any, of
the Company and its other creditors in such property or such proceeds.
Nothing herein contained, however, shall affect the right of the Trustee
(A) to retain for its own account
(i) payments made on account of any such claim by
<PAGE> 64
56
any Person (other than the Company) who is liable thereon, and
(ii) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such claim by
the Trustee to a third person, and (iii) distributions made in
cash, securities or other property in respect of claims filed
against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in
proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal
Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law;
(B) to realize, for its own account, upon any property
held by it as security for any such claim, if such property was
so held prior to the beginning of such 3-month 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 3-month period and such
property was received as security therefor simultaneously with
the creation thereof, and if the Trustee shall sustain the
burden of proving that at the time such property was so
received the Trustee had no reasonable cause to believe that a
default as defined in Subsection (c) of this Section would
occur within 3 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 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 3-month period for property held as
security at the time of such substitution shall, to the extent of the fair value
of the property released, have the same status as the property released, and, to
the extent that any claim referred to in any of such paragraphs is created in
renewal of or in substitution for or for the purpose of repaying or refunding
any pre-existing claim of the Trustee as such creditor, such claim shall have
the same status as such pre-existing claim.
If the Trustee shall be required to account, the funds and
property held in such special account and the proceeds thereof shall be
apportioned between the Trustee,
<PAGE> 65
57
the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities in such manner
that the Trustee, the Securityholders and the holders of other indenture
securities realize, as a result of payments from such special account and
payments of dividends on claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or
receivership or in proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal
Bankruptcy Act or applicable State law, the same percentage of their respective
claims, figured before crediting to the claim of the Trustee anything on account
of the receipt by it from the Company of the funds and property in such special
account and before crediting to the respective claims of the Trustee and the
Securityholders and the holders of other indenture securities dividends on
claims filed against the Company in bankruptcy or receivership or in proceedings
for reorganization pursuant to the Federal Bankruptcy Act 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 proceedings for reorganization pursuant to the Federal
Bankruptcy Act 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 proceedings for reorganization is pending shall
have jurisdiction (i) to apportion between the Trustee and the Securityholders
and the holders of other indenture securities in accordance with the provisions
of this paragraph, the funds and property held in such special account and
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 and the Securityholders
and the holders of other indenture securities with respect to their respective
claims, in which event it shall not be necessary to liquidate or to appraise the
value of any securities or other property held in such special account or as
security for any such claim, or to make a specific allocation of such
distributions as between the secured and unsecured portions of such claims, or
otherwise to apply the provisions of this paragraph as a mathematical formula.
Any Trustee which has resigned or been removed after the
beginning of such 3-month period shall be subject
<PAGE> 66
58
to the provisions of this Subsection as though such resignation or removal had
not occurred. If any Trustee has resigned or been removed prior to the beginning
of such 3-month period, it shall be subject to the provisions of this Subsection
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 3-month period; and
(ii) such receipt of property or reduction of claim
occurred within 3 months after such resignation or removal.
(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection
(a) of this Section a creditor relationship arising from
(1) the ownership or acquisition of securities issued under any
indenture, or any security or securities having a maturity of one year
or more at the time of acquisition by the Trustee;
(2) advances authorized by a receivership or bankruptcy court
of competent jurisdiction, or by this Indenture, for the purpose of
preserving any property 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 advances and of the
circumstances surrounding the making thereof is given to the
Securityholders at the time and in the manner provided in this
Indenture;
(3) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in
the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent, registrar,
custodian, paying agent, fiscal agent or depositary, or other similar
capacity;
(4) an indebtedness created as a result of services rendered or
premises rented; or an indebtedness created as a result of goods or
securities sold in a cash transaction as defined in Subsection (c) of
this Section;
(5) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a
corporation organized under the provisions of
<PAGE> 67
59
Section 25(a) of the Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly
or indirectly a creditor of the Company; or
(6) the acquisition, ownership, acceptance or negotiation of
any drafts, bills of exchange, acceptances or obligations which fall
within the classification of self liquidating paper as defined in
Subsection (c) of this Section.
(c) For the purposes of this Section only:
(1) The term "default" means any failure to make payment in
full of the principal of or interest on any of the Securities or upon
the other indenture securities when and as such principal or interest
becomes due and payable.
(2) The term "other indenture securities" means securities upon
which the Company is an obligor outstanding under any other indenture
(i) under which the Trustee is also trustee, (ii) which contains
provisions substantially similar to the provisions of this Section, and
(iii) under which a default exists at the time of the apportionment of
the funds and property held in such special account.
(3) The term "cash transaction" means any transaction in which
full payment for goods or securities sold is made within 7 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" means any draft, bill of
exchange, acceptance or obligation which is made, drawn, negotiated or
incurred by the Company for the purpose of financing the purchase,
processing, manufacturing, shipment, storage or sale of goods, wares or
merchandise and which is secured by documents evidencing title to,
possession of, or a lien upon, the goods, wares or merchandise or the
receivables or proceeds arising from the sale of the goods, wares or
merchandise previously constituting the security, provided the security
is received by the Trustee simultaneously with the creation of the
creditor relationship with the Company arising from the making,
drawing, negotiating or incurring of the draft, bill of exchange,
acceptance or obligation.
<PAGE> 68
60
(5) The term "Company" means any obligor upon the Securities.
Section 614. Appointment of Authenticating Agent. At any time
when any of the Securities remain Outstanding the Trustee, with the approval of
the Company, may appoint an Authenticating Agent or Agents with respect to one
or more series of Securities which shall be authorized to act on behalf of the
Trustee to authenticate Securities of such series issued upon exchange,
registration of transfer or partial redemption thereof or pursuant to Section
306, and Securities so authenticated shall be entitled to the benefits of this
Indenture and shall be valid and obligatory for all purposes as if authenticated
by the Trustee hereunder. Wherever reference is made in this Indenture to the
authentication and delivery of Securities by the Trustee or the Trustee's
certificate of authentication, such reference shall be deemed to include
authentication and delivery on behalf of the Trustee by an Authenticating Agent
and a certificate of authentication executed on behalf of the Trustee by an
Authenticating Agent. Each Authenticating Agent shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall at all times be a corporation organized and doing business
under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to act as an Authenticating
Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than $50,000,000 and,
if other than the Company itself, subject to supervision or examination by
Federal or State authority. If such Authenticating Agent publishes reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the
combined capital and surplus of such Authenticating Agent shall be deemed to be
its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of
condition so published. If at any time an Authenticating Agent shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, such Authenticating
Agent shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in
this Section.
Any corporation into which an Authenticating Agent may be
merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Authenticating Agent shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the
corporate agency or corporate trust business of an Authenticating Agent, shall
continue to be an Authenticating Agent, provided such corporation shall be
otherwise eligible
<PAGE> 69
61
under this Section, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of the Trustee or the Authenticating Agent.
An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Trustee and, if other than the Company, to the
Company. The Trustee may at any time terminate the agency of an Authenticating
Agent by giving written notice thereof to such Authenticating Agent and, if
other than the Company, to the Company. Upon receiving such a notice of
resignation or upon such a termination, or in case at any time such
Authenticating Agent shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section, the Trustee, with the approval of the Company, may
appoint a successor Authenticating Agent which shall be acceptable to the
Company and shall mail written notice of such appointment by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, to all Holders of Securities of the series with respect to
which such Authenticating Agent will serve, as their names and addresses appear
in the Security Register. Any successor Authenticating Agent upon acceptance of
its appointment hereunder shall become vested with all the rights, powers and
duties of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as
an Authenticating Agent. No successor Authenticating Agent shall be appointed
unless eligible under the provisions of this Section.
The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent other
than an Authenticating Agent appointed at the request of the Company from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services under this Section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments, subject to the
provisions of Section 607.
If an appointment with respect to one or more series is made

communicate with other Holders of Securities of such series or with the Holders
of all Securities with respect to their rights under this Indenture or under
such Securities and is accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other

within 5 Business Days after the receipt of such application, at its election,
either
(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved

with a copy of the material to be mailed, a written statement to the effect
that, in the opinion of the Trustee, such mailing would be contrary to the best
interests of the Holders of Securities of such series or all Securityholders, as
the case may be, or would

principal amount of the Securities of such series outstanding on the
date of such report;
(4) any change to the amount, interest rate and maturity date
of all other indebtedness owing by the Company (or by any other obligor

(b) The Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Securityholders,
as their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, a brief report
with respect to the character and amount of any advances (and if the Trustee
elects so to state, the circumstances surrounding the making thereof) made by
the Trustee (as such) since the date of the last report transmitted pursuant to
Subsection (a) of this Section (or if no such report has yet been so
transmitted, since the date of execution of this instrument) for the
reimbursement of which it claims or may claim a lien or charge, prior to that of
the Securities of any series, on property or funds held or collected by it as
Trustee, and which it has not previously reported pursuant to this Subsection,
except that the Trustee shall not be required (but may elect) to report such
advances if such advances
<PAGE> 74
66
remaining unpaid at any time aggregate 10% or less of the principal amount of
the Securities Outstanding of such series at such time, such report to be
transmitted within 90 days after such time.
(c) A copy of each such report shall, at the time of such

Covenants
Section 1001. Payment of Principal, Premium and Interest. With
respect to each series of Securities, the Company will duly and punctually pay
the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on such Securities in
<PAGE> 80
72
accordance with their terms and this Indenture, and will duly comply with all
the other terms, agreements and conditions contained in, or made in the
Indenture for the benefit of, the Securities of such series.
Section 1002. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Company will
maintain an office or agency in each Place of Payment where Securities may be
presented or surrendered for payment, where Securities may be surrendered for
transfer or exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Company in
respect of the Securities and this Indenture may be served. The Company will
give prompt written notice to the Trustee of the location, and of any change in
the location, of such office or agency. If at any time the Company shall fail to
maintain such office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Trustee with the
address thereof, such presentations, surrenders, notices and demands may be made
or served at the principal Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, and the
Company hereby appoints the Trustee its agent to receive all such presentations,
surrenders, notices and demands.
Section 1003. Money for Security Payments to be Held in Trust.
If the Company shall at any time act as its own Paying Agent for any series of
Securities, it will, on or before each due date of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on, any of the Securities of such series, segregate
and hold in trust for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto a sum
sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any) or interest so becoming
due until such sums shall be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as
herein provided, and will promptly notify the Trustee of its action or failure
to act.
Whenever the Company shall have one or more Paying Agents for
any series of Securities, it will, on or prior to each due date of the principal
of (and premium, if any) or interest on, any Securities of such series, deposit
with a Paying Agent a sum sufficient to pay the principal (and premium, if any)
or interest so becoming due, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Persons entitled to such principal (and premium, if any) or interest, and
(unless such Paying Agent is the Trustee) the Company will promptly notify the
Trustee of its action or failure so to act.
The Company will cause each Paying Agent other than the Trustee
for any series of Securities to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying
<PAGE> 81
73
Agent shall agree with the Trustee, subject to the provisions of this Section,
that such Paying Agent will
(1) hold all sums held by it for the payment of principal of
(and premium, if any) or interest on Securities of such series in trust
for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto until such sums shall
be paid to such Persons or otherwise disposed of as herein provided;
(2) give the Trustee notice of any default by the Company (or
any other obligor upon the Securities of such series) in the making of
any such payment of principal (and premium, if any) or interest on the
Securities of such series; and
(3) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
upon the written request of the Trustee, forthwith pay to the Trustee
all sums so held in trust by such Paying Agent.
The Company may at any time, for the purpose of obtaining the
satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to any series of
Securities or for any other purpose, pay, or by Company Order direct any Paying
Agent to pay, to the Trustee all sums held in trust by the Company or such
Paying Agent in respect of each and every series of Securities as to which it
seeks to discharge this Indenture or, if for any other purpose, all sums so held
in trust by the Company in respect of all Securities, such sums to be held by
the Trustee upon the same trusts as those upon which such sums were held by the
Company or such Paying Agent; and, upon such payment by any Paying Agent to the
Trustee, such Paying Agent shall be released from all further liability with
respect to such money.
Any money deposited with the Trustee or any Paying Agent, or
then held by the Company, in trust for the payment of the principal of (and
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of any series and remaining
unclaimed for two years after such principal (and premium, if any) or interest
has become due and payable shall be paid to the Company on Company Request, or
(if then held by the Company) shall be discharged from such trust; and the
Holder of such Security shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look
only to the Company for payment thereof, and all liability of the Trustee or
such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money, and all liability of the
Company as trustee thereof, shall thereupon cease. The Trustee or such Paying
<PAGE> 82
74
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, may at the expense of
the Company mail to the Holders of the Securities as to which the money to be
repaid was held in trust, as their names and addresses appear in the Security
Register, a notice that such moneys remain unclaimed and that, after a date
specified in the notice, which shall not be less than 30 days from the date on
which the notice was first mailed to the Holders of the Securities as to which
the money to be repaid was held in trust, any unclaimed balance of such moneys
then remaining will be paid to the Company free of the trust formerly impressed
upon it.
The Company initially authorizes the Trustee to act as Paying
Agent for the Securities on its behalf. The Company may at any time and from
time to time authorize one or more Persons to act as Paying Agent in addition to
or in place of the Trustee with respect to any series of Securities issued under
this Indenture.
Section 1004. Statement as to Compliance. The Company will
deliver to the Trustee, within 120 days after the end of each fiscal year, a
written statement signed by the principal executive officer, principal financial
officer or principal accounting officer of the Company, stating that
(1) a review of the activities of the Company during such year
and of the Company's performance under this Indenture and under the
terms of the Securities has been made under his supervision; and
(2) to the best of his knowledge, based on such review, the
Company has complied with all conditions and covenants under this
Indenture through such year, or, if there has been a default in the
fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default known
to him and the nature and status thereof.
Section 1005. Corporate Existence. Subject to Article Eight the
Company will do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve and keep in
full force and effect its corporate existence.
Section 1006. Limitation on Liens. (a) The Company will not,
nor will it permit any Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist
any Mortgage upon any stock or indebtedness, whether owned on the date of this
Indenture or hereafter acquired, of any Domestic Subsidiary, to secure any Debt
of the Company or any other Person (other than the Securities), without in any
such case making
<PAGE> 83
75
effective provision whereby all of the Securities Outstanding shall be directly
secured equally and ratably with such Debt, excluding, however, from the
operation of the foregoing provisions of this Subsection (a) any Mortgage upon
stock or indebtedness of any corporation existing at the time such corporation
becomes a Domestic Subsidiary, or existing upon stock or indebtedness of a
Domestic Subsidiary at the time of acquisition of such stock or indebtedness,
and any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive extensions, renewals or
replacements) in whole or in part of any such Mortgage; provided, however, that
the principal amount of Debt secured thereby shall not exceed the principal
amount of Debt so secured at the time of such extension, renewal or replacement;
and provided further, that such Mortgage shall be limited to all or such part of
the stock or indebtedness which secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or
replaced.
(b) The Company will not, nor will it permit any Restricted
Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or suffer to exist any Mortgage upon any
Principal Property, whether owned or leased on the date of this Indenture or
hereafter acquired, to secure any Debt of the Company or any other Person (other
than the Securities), without in any such case making effective provision
whereby all of the Securities outstanding shall be directly secured equally and
ratably with such Debt, excluding, however, from the operation of the foregoing
provisions of this Subsection (b):
(i) any Mortgage upon property owned or leased by any
corporation existing at the time such corporation becomes a Restricted
Subsidiary;
(ii) any Mortgage upon 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 180 days after the acquisition of such property for
the purpose of financing all or any part of the purchase price thereof;
(iii) any Mortgage upon property to secure all or any part of
the cost of exploration, drilling, development, construction,
alteration, repair or improvement of all or any part of such property,
or Debt incurred prior to, at the time of or within 180 days after the
completion of such exploration, drilling, development, construction,
alteration, repair
<PAGE> 84
76
or improvement for the purpose of financing all or any part of such
cost;
(iv) any Mortgage securing Debt of a Restricted Subsidiary
owing to the Company or to another Restricted Subsidiary;
(v) any Mortgage existing at the date of this Indenture; and
(vi) any extension, renewal or replacement (or successive
extensions, renewals or replacements) in whole or in part of any
Mortgage referred to in the foregoing clauses (i) to (v), inclusive;
provided, however, that the principal amount of Debt secured thereby
shall not exceed the principal amount of Debt so secured at the time of
such extension, renewal or replacement; and provided further, that such
Mortgage shall be limited to all or such part of the property which
secured the Mortgage so extended, renewed or replaced (plus
improvements on such property).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Subsection (b), the Company
may, and may permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, create, assume, incur or
suffer to exist any Mortgage upon any Principal Property which is not excepted
by clauses (i) through (vi) above without equally and ratably securing the
Securities, provided that the aggregate amount of all Debt then outstanding
secured by such Mortgage and all similar Mortgages does not exceed 10% of the
total consolidated stockholders' equity of the Company as shown on the audited
consolidated balance sheet contained in the latest annual report to stockholders
of the Company. For the purpose of this Subsection (b), the following types of
transactions shall not be deemed to create a Mortgage to secure any Debt:
(i) the sale or other transfer of (A) any oil or gas or
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 oil or gas or
minerals, or (B) any other interest in property of the character
commonly referred to as a "production payment"; and
(ii) any Mortgage in favor of the United States of America or
any State thereof, or any other country, or any political subdivision
of any of the foregoing, to
<PAGE> 85
77
secure partial, progress, advance or other payments pursuant to the
provisions of any contract or statute, or any Mortgage upon property of
the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary intended to be used primarily
for the purpose of or in connection with air or water pollution
control, provided that no such Mortgage shall extend to any other
property of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary.

to Unrestricted Subsidiaries. The Company will not, nor will it permit any
Restricted Subsidiary to, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any Principal
Property to any Unrestricted Subsidiary other than for cash or other
consideration which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, constitutes fair
value for such Principal Property.
Section 1008. Waiver of Certain Covenants. The Company may omit
in respect of any series of Securities, in any particular instance, to comply
with any covenant or condition set forth in Sections 1006 and 1007, if before or
after the time for such compliance the Holders of at least a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of such series shall,
by Act of such Securityholders, either waive such compliance in such instance or
generally waive compliance with such covenant or condition, but no such waiver
shall extend to or affect such covenant or condition except to the extent so
expressly waived, and, until such waiver shall become effective, the obligations
of the Company and the duties of the Trustee in respect of any such covenant or
condition shall remain in full force and effect.
ARTICLE ELEVEN
Redemption of Securities
Section 1101. Applicability of Article. The Company may reserve
the right to redeem and pay before Stated Maturity all or any part of the
Securities of any series, either by optional redemption, sinking or purchase
fund or analogous obligation or otherwise, by provision therefor in the form of
Security for such series established and approved pursuant to Section 202 and on
such terms as are specified in such form or in the Board Resolution or
indenture supplemental hereto with respect to Securities of such series as
provided in Section 301. Redemption of Securities of any series
<PAGE> 86
78
shall be made in accordance with the terms of such Securities and, to the extent
that this Article does not conflict with such terms, the succeeding Sections of
this Article.
Section 1102. Election to Redeem; Notice to Trustee. The
election of the Company to redeem any Securities redeemable at the election of
the Company shall be evidenced by, or made pursuant to authority granted by, a
Board Resolution. In case of any redemption at the election of the Company of
any Securities of any series, the Company shall, at least 60 days prior to the
Redemption Date fixed by the Company (unless a shorter notice shall be
satisfactory to the Trustee), notify the Trustee of such Redemption Date and of
the principal amount of Securities of such series to be redeemed.
In the case of any redemption of Securities (i) prior to the
expiration of any restriction on such redemption provided in the terms of such
Securities or elsewhere in this Indenture, or (ii) pursuant to an election of
the Company which is subject to a condition specified in the terms of such
Securities, the Company shall furnish the Trustee with an Officers' Certificate
evidencing compliance with such restriction or condition.
Section 1103. Selection by Trustee of Securities to Be
Redeemed. If less than all the Securities of like tenor and terms of any series
are to be redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected
not more than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date by the Trustee, from the
Outstanding Securities of such series not previously called for redemption, by
such method as the Trustee shall deem fair and appropriate and which may include
provision for the selection for redemption of portions of the principal of
Securities of such series of a denomination larger than the minimum authorized
denomination for Securities of that series. Unless otherwise provided in the
terms of a particular series of Securities, the portions of the principal of
Securities so selected for partial redemption shall be equal to the minimum
authorized denomination of the Securities of such series, or an integral
multiple thereof, and the principal amount which remains outstanding shall not
be less than the minimum authorized denomination for Securities of such series.
If less than all the Securities of unlike tenor and terms of a series are to be
redeemed, the particular Securities to be redeemed shall be selected by the
Company.
<PAGE> 87
79
The Trustee shall promptly notify the Company in writing of the
Securities selected for redemption and, in the case of any Security 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 of such Security which has been or is to
be redeemed.
Section 1104. Notice of Redemption. Notice of redemption shall
be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, mailed not less than 30 nor more
than 60 days prior to the Redemption Date, to each holder of Securities to be
redeemed, at his address appearing in the Security Register.
All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the Redemption Date;
(2) the Redemption Price;
(3) if less than all Outstanding Securities of any series are
to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial
redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the Securities to be
redeemed, from the Holder to whom the notice is given;
(4) that on the Redemption Date the Redemption Price will
become due and payable upon each such Security, and that interest, if
any, thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date;
(5) the place where such Securities are to be surrendered for
payment of the Redemption Price, which shall be the office or agency of
the Company in the Place of Payment; and
(6) that the redemption is on account of a sinking or purchase

Section 1105. Deposit of Redemption Price. On or prior to any
Redemption Date, the Company shall deposit with the Trustee or with a Paying
Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, segregate and hold
in trust as provided in Section 1003) an amount of money sufficient to pay the
Redemption Price of all the Securities which are to be redeemed on that date.
Section 1106. Securities Payable on Redemption Date. Notice of
Redemption having been given as aforesaid, the Securities so to be redeemed
shall, on the Redemption Date, become due and payable at the Redemption Price
therein specified and from and after such date (unless the Company shall default

the Redemption Date shall be payable to the Holders of such Securities
registered as such on the relevant Regular Record Dates according to their terms
and the provisions of Section 307.
If any Security called for redemption shall not be so paid upon
surrender thereof for redemption, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest
from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by the Security, or as otherwise
provided in such Security.
Section 1107. Securities Redeemed in Part. Any Security which
is to be redeemed only in part shall be surrendered at the office or agency of
the Company in the Place of Payment with respect to that series (with, if the
Company or the Trustee so requires, due endorsement by, or a written instrument
of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Trustee duly executed
by, the Holder thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing) and the
Company shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver to the
Holder of such Security without service charge, a new Security or Securities of
the same series and Stated Maturity and of like tenor and terms, of any
authorized denomination as requested by such Holder in aggregate principal
amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of
the Security so surrendered.
Section 1108. Provisions with Respect to any Sinking Funds.
Unless the form or terms of any series of Securities shall provide otherwise, in
lieu of making all or any part of any mandatory sinking fund payment with
respect
<PAGE> 89
81
to such series of Securities in cash, the Company may at its option (1) deliver
to the Trustee for cancellation any Securities of such series theretofore
acquired by the Company, or (2) receive credit for any Securities of such
series (not previously so credited) acquired by the Company and theretofore
delivered to the Trustee for cancellation or redeemed by the Company other than
through the mandatory sinking fund, and if it does so then (i) Securities so
delivered or credited shall be credited at the applicable sinking fund
Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, and (ii) on or
before the 60th day next preceding each sinking fund Redemption Date with
respect to such series of Securities, the Company will deliver to the Trustee
(A) an Officers' Certificate specifying the portions of such sinking fund
payment to be satisfied by payment of cash and by delivery or credit of
Securities of such series acquired by the Company or so redeemed, and (B) such
Securities so acquired, to the extent not previously surrendered. Such
Officers' Certificate shall also state the basis for such credit and that the
Securities for which the Company elects to receive credit have not been
previously so credited and were not redeemed by the Company through operation
of the mandatory sinking fund, if any, provided with respect to such
Securities and shall also state that no Event of Default with respect to
Securities of such series has occurred and is continuing. All Securities so
delivered to the Trustee shall be cancelled by the Trustee and no Securities
shall be authenticated in lieu thereof.
If the sinking fund payment or payments (mandatory or optional)
with respect to any series of Securities made in cash plus any unused balance of
any preceding sinking fund payments with respect to Securities of such series
made in cash shall exceed $50,000 (or a lesser sum if the Company shall so
request), unless otherwise provided by the terms of such series of Securities,
that cash shall be applied by the Trustee on the sinking fund Redemption Date
with respect to Securities of such series next following the date of such
payment to the redemption of Securities of such series at the applicable sinking
fund Redemption Price with respect to Securities of such series, together with
accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for redemption, with the effect
provided in Section 1106. The Trustee shall select, in the manner provided in
Section 1103, for redemption on such sinking fund Redemption Date a sufficient
principal amount of Securities of such series to utilize that cash and shall
thereupon cause notice of redemption of the Securities of such series for the
sinking fund to be given in the manner provided in Section 1104 (and with the
effect provided in
<PAGE> 90
82
Section 1106) for the redemption of Securities in part at the option of the
Company. Any sinking fund moneys not so applied or allocated by the Trustee to
the redemption of Securities of such series shall be added to the next cash
sinking fund payment with respect to Securities of such series received by the
Trustee and, together with such payment, shall be applied in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 1108. Any and all sinking fund moneys with respect to
Securities of any series held by the Trustee at the Maturity of Securities of
such series, and not held for the payment or redemption of particular Securities
of such series, shall be applied by the Trustee, together with other moneys, if
necessary, to be deposited sufficient for the purpose, to the payment of the
principal of the Securities of such series at Maturity.
On or before each sinking fund Redemption Date provided with
respect to Securities of any series, the Company shall pay to the Trustee in
cash a sum equal to all accrued interest, if any, to the date fixed for
redemption on Securities to be redeemed on such sinking fund Redemption Date
pursuant to this Section 1108.

UNION PACIFIC CORPORATION, a corporation duly organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Utah (herein called the "Company",
which term includes any successor under the Indenture hereinafter referred to),
for value received, hereby promises to pay to
[Holder]
or registered assigns, the principal sum of $[principal amount] at the office
or agency of the Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, on
[Maturity Date] in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at
the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private
debts, and to pay interest on said principal sum [refer to interest period] on
[interest payment date(s)] of each year, commencing [initial interest payment
date], at said office or agency, in like
<PAGE> 2

coin or currency, at the rate per annum specified in the title hereof, from the
[interest payment date(s)], as the case may be, next preceding the date of this
[Debt Security] to which interest on the [Debt Securities] has been paid or
duly provided for (unless the date hereof is the date to which interest on the
[Debt Securities] has been paid or duly provided for, in which case from the
date of this [Debt Security]), or, if no interest has been paid on the [Debt
Securities] or duly provided for, from [Date of Debt Security] until payment of
said principal sum has been made or duly provided for. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, if the date hereof is after the [record date(s)] and before the next
succeeding [interest payment date(s)], this [Debt Security] shall bear interest
from such [interest payment date(s)], as the case may be; provided, however,
that if the Company shall default in the payment of interest due on such
[interest payment date(s)], then this [Debt Security] shall bear interest from
the next preceding [interest payment date(s)] to which interest on the [Debt
Securities] has been paid or duly provided for, or, if no interest has been
paid on the [Debt Securities] or duly provided for, from [Date of Debt
Security]. The interest so payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for,
on any [interest payment date(s)] will, except as provided in the Indenture
dated as of [date of Indenture] (herein called the "Indenture"), duly executed
and delivered by the Company and [Trustee], as Trustee (herein called the
"Trustee"), be paid to the Person in whose name this [Debt Security] (or one or
more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the close of business on the next
preceding [record date(s)], as the case may be (herein called the "Regular
Record Date"), whether or not a Business Day, and may, at the option of the
Company, be paid by check mailed to the registered address of such Person. Any
such interest which is payable, but is not so punctually paid or duly provided
for, shall forthwith cease to be payable to the registered Holder on such
Regular Record Date and may be paid either to the Person in whose name this
[Debt Security] (or one or more Predecessor Securities) is registered at the
close of business on a Special Record Date for the payment of such Defaulted
Interest to be fixed by the Trustee, notice whereof shall be given to Holders
of [Debt Securities] not less than 10 days prior to such Special Record Date,
or may be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the
requirements of any securities exchange on which the [Debt Securities] may be
listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange, if such manner
of payment shall be deemed practical by the Trustee, all as more fully provided
in the
<PAGE> 3

Indenture. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of interest payable at
Stated Maturity, such interest shall be paid to the same Person to whom the
principal hereof is payable.
[Trustee] will be the Paying Agent and the Security Registrar
with respect to the [Debt Securities]. The Company reserves the right at any
time to vary or terminate the appointment of any Paying Agent or Security
Registrar, to appoint additional or other Paying Agents and other Security
Registrars, which may include the Company, and to approve any change in the
office through which any Paying Agent or Security Registrar acts; provided that
there will at all times be a Paying Agent in The City of New York and there
will be no more than one Security Registrar for the [Debt Securities].
This [Debt Security] is one of the duly authorized issue of
debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness (hereinafter called
the "Securities") of the Company, of the series hereinafter specified, all
issued or to be issued under and pursuant to the Indenture, to which Indenture
and any other indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties
and immunities thereunder of the Trustee and any agent of the Trustee, any
Paying Agent, the Company and the Holders of the Securities and the terms upon
which the Securities are issued and are to be authenticated and delivered.
The Securities may be issued in one or more series, which
different series may be issued in various aggregate principal amounts, may
mature at different times, may bear interest (if any) at different rates, may
be subject to different redemption provisions (if any), may be subject to
different sinking, purchase or analogous funds (if any), may be subject to
different covenants and Events of Default and may otherwise vary as provided or
permitted in the Indenture. This [Debt Security] is one of the series of
Securities of the Company issued pursuant to the Indenture and designated as
the [Designation of Debt Securities] (herein called the "[Debt Securities]"),
limited in aggregate principal amount to $[Principal Amount].
[The [Debt Securities] are not subject to redemption prior to
Maturity.] [The [Debt Securities] are subject to redemption upon not less than
30 nor more than 60 days' notice by mail (1) at any time during each

Price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, and (2) at any time on or
after [initial redemption date], as a whole or from time to time in part, at

and thereafter at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount
thereof, together in the case of any such redemption (whether through operation
of the sinking fund (including the optional sinking fund referred to below) or
otherwise) with accrued interest to the Redemption Date, but installments of
interest the Stated Maturity of which is on or prior to the Redemption Date
shall be payable to the Holders of such [Debt Securities] registered as such at
the close of business on the relevant Regular Record Dates referred to above,
all as provided in the Indenture.]
[The sinking fund for the [Debt Securities] provides for the
redemption at any time during each of the twelve-month periods referred to in
clause (1) of the next preceding paragraph of not less than $[mandatory sinking

"mandatory sinking fund"). At its option, the Company may make an additional
sinking fund payment during each such twelve-month period to redeem up to an
additional $[optional sinking fund payment amount] aggregate principal amount
of [Debt Securities] (the "optional sinking fund"). The right to make such
optional sinking fund payments is not cumulative and to the extent not availed
of in any year will terminate. The principal amount of [Debt Securities]
acquired or redeemed by the Company (other than through mandatory sinking fund
payments) may be credited, at the option of the Company, against subsequent
mandatory sinking fund payments otherwise required to be made at the principal
amount thereof, if not previously credited.]
[The Company shall give the Trustee at least 60 days' prior
written notice of any Redemption Date fixed by the Company for redemption of
[Debt Securities] of this series through operation of the sinking fund.
Nothing herein shall require the Company in any twelve-month period to redeem
[Debt Securities] of this series through operation of the mandatory sinking
fund or the optional sinking fund on the same Redemption Date.]
[In the event of redemption of this [Debt Security] in part
only, a new [Debt Security] or [Debt Securities] of this series for the
unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in the name of the Holder hereof upon
the surrender hereof.]
If an Event of Default with respect to the [Debt Securities]
all of the [Debt Securities] may be declared due and payable in the manner,
with the effect and subject to the conditions provided in the Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein
provided, the Company and the Trustee to enter into supplemental indentures to
the Indenture for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any
manner or eliminating any of the provisions of the Indenture or of modifying in
any manner the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series under the
Indenture with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority in
principal amount of the Securities at the time Outstanding of each series to be
affected thereby on behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series.
The Indenture also permits the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding of each series, on
<PAGE> 6

behalf of the Holders of all Securities of such series, to waive compliance by
the Company with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
and their consequences with respect to such series under the Indenture. Any
such consent or waiver by the Holder of this [Debt Security] shall be
conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
[Debt Security] and of any [Debt Security] issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not
notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this [Debt Security] or such
other [Debt Securities].
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this
[Debt Security] or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
interest on this [Debt Security] at the place, rate and respective times and in
the coin or currency herein and in the Indenture prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to the satisfaction
of certain conditions therein set forth, including the deposit of certain trust
funds in trust, the Company shall be deemed to have paid and discharged the
entire indebtedness represented by, and the obligations under, the Securities
of any series and to have satisfied all the obligations (with certain
exceptions) under the Indenture relating to the Securities of such series.
The [Debt Securities] are issuable in registered form without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000. [Debt
Securities] may be exchanged for a like aggregate principal amount of [Debt
Securities] of other authorized denominations at the office or agency of the
Company in the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, designated for such
purpose and in the manner and subject to the limitations provided in the
Indenture.
Upon due presentment for registration of transfer of this
[Debt Security] at the office or agency of the Company in the Borough of
Manhattan, The City of New York designated for such purpose, a new [Debt
Security] or [Debt Securities] of authorized denominations for a like aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the transferee in exchange therefor, subject
to the limitations provided in the Indenture.

No charge shall be made for any such transfer or exchange, but
the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge imposed in connection therewith.
The Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this [Debt Security] is registered
as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this [Debt Security] is
overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
Unless otherwise defined herein, all terms used in this [Debt
Security] which are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned
to them in the Indenture.

Re: Union Pacific Corporation
$1,000,000,000 Aggregate Public Offering
Price of Offered Securities
Dear Sirs:
I am Assistant General Counsel of Union Pacific Corporation, a Utah
corporation (the "Company"), and am rendering this opinion in connection with
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement")
being filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), with respect to the Company's
debt securities (the "Debt Securities"), preferred stock, with no par value
(the "Preferred Stock"), warrants to purchase Debt Securities and Preferred
Stock (the "Warrants"), Preferred Stock, and common stock, par value $2.50 per
share, (the "Common Stock") issuable upon conversion or exchange of Debt
Securities or Preferred Stock, and Preferred Stock upon exercise of Warrants
(the Debt Securities, Preferred Stock, Warrants and Common Stock are
collectively referred to as the "Offered Securities"), for issuance from time
to time pursuant to Rule 415 under the Act.
I have examined the form of Indenture (the "Indenture") between the
Company and Chemical Bank, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), pursuant to which the
Debt Securities will be issued, and I have examined such other documents and
made such other investigations as I have
<PAGE> 2
2
deemed necessary or advisable for purposes of this opinion. Based thereon, I
am of the opinion that:
1. The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing
under the laws of the State of Utah.
2. The execution and delivery of the Indenture by the Company and the
issuance and sale of Debt Securities have been validly authorized by all
necessary corporate action by the Company.
3. When (i) the Registration Statement shall have become effective
under the Act, (ii) the Blue Sky or securities laws of certain states shall have
been complied with, (iii) the Indenture shall have been executed and delivered
by the Company and the Trustee and duly qualified under the Trust Indenture Act
of 1939, and (iv) the Debt Securities shall have been (A) duly authorized,
executed, authenticated and delivered against payment therefor or (B) issued
upon conversion or exchange of Debt Securities or Preferred Stock which, by
their respective terms, are convertible into or exchangeable for Debt Securities
or upon exercise of Warrants, and the Company shall have received any additional
consideration which is payable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise, the
Debt Securities shall constitute binding obligations of the Company enforceable
in accordance with their terms, except as enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other laws relating to or affecting
creditors' rights generally and subject to general principles of equity.
4. When (i) the Registration Statement shall have become effective
under the Act, (ii) the Blue Sky or securities laws of certain states shall have
been complied with and (iii) the Preferred Stock shall have been (A) authorized,
issued and sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement and the Company
shall have received consideration therefor or (B) issued upon conversion or
exchange of Debt Securities or Preferred Stock which, by their respective terms,
are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Preferred Stock or upon
exercise of Warrants and the Company shall have received any additional
consideration which is payable upon such conversion, exchange or exercise, the
Preferred Stock will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
5. When (i) the Registration Statement shall have become effective
under the Act, (ii) the Blue Sky or
<PAGE> 3
3
securities laws of certain states shall have been complied with, and (iii) the
Common Stock shall have been issued upon conversion or exchange of Debt
Securities or Preferred Stock which, by their respective terms, are convertible
into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, and the Company shall have
received any additional consideration which is payable upon such conversion or
exchange, the Common Stock shall be validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable.
6. When (i) the Registration Statement shall have become effective
under the Act, (ii) the Blue Sky or securities laws of certain states shall have
been complied with, and (iii) a warrant agreement or agreements shall have been
authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and a warrant agent, and (iv)
the Warrants shall have been duly executed and delivered against payment
therefor, the Warrants shall be legally issued.
I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement. I also consent to the use of my name under the caption
"Legal Opinions" in the Prospectus contained in the Registration Statement.
Very truly yours,
