1.2. Compliance Certificates and Opinions.
Upon any application or request by the Company to the Trustee
to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the Company shall
furnish to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with and, if requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture relating to such
particular application or request, no additional certificate or opinion need be
furnished.
1.3. Form of Documents Delivered to Trustee.
(a) In any case where several matters are required to be
certified by, or covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not
necessary that all such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of,
only one such Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one
document, but one such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to
some matters and one or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any
such Person may certify or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several
documents.
(b) Any certificate or opinion of an officer of the
Company may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows that
the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon
which his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate or
opinion of, or representations by, counsel may be based, insofar as it relates
to factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Company stating that the information with respect to
such factual matters is in the possession of the Company, unless such counsel
knows that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.
(c) Where any Person is required to make, give or execute
two or more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinion
or other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be
consolidated and form one instrument.
1.4. Acts of Holders.
(a) Any requirement, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given
or taken by Holders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Holders in person or by 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. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied therein and
evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of the Holders
signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for
-7-
<PAGE> 14
any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.1) 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 of
such execution or by a certificate of a notary public or other officer
authorized by law to take acknowledgments of deeds, certifying that the
individual signing such instrument or writing acknowledged to him the execution
thereof. Where such execution is by a signer acting in a capacity other than his
individual capacity, 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) Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other Act of the Holder of any Security shall bind
every future Holder of the same Security and the Holder of every Security issued
upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu
thereof in respect of anything done, omitted 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.
1.5. Notices, Etc., to Trustee and Company.
Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,
consent, waiver or other Act of Holders or other document provided or permitted
by this Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to, or filed with,
(a) The Trustee by any Holder or by the Company shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given, furnished or filed in
writing (which may be via facsimile) to or with the Trustee at its Corporate
Trust Office, or
(b) The Company by the Trustee or by any Holder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class postage prepaid, to the Company
addressed to the attention of its Secretary at 106 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard,

each Holder 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

writing by the Person entitled to receive such notice, either before or after

a condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance upon such
waiver.
(b) In any case by reason of the suspension of regular

hereunder.

1.13. Legal Holidays.
In any case where the due date of interest on or principal of

then (notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture or of the
Securities) payment of interest or principal (and premium, if any) need not be

same force and effect as if made on such due date or Redemption Date; provided

transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the

Company and the Trustee against any liability that may result from the transfer,
exchange or assignment of such Holder's Security in violation of any provision
of this Indenture and/or applicable United States federal or state securities
law.
(i) The Trustee shall have no obligation or duty to
monitor, determine or inquire as to compliance with any restrictions on transfer
imposed under this Indenture or under applicable law with respect to any
transfer of any interest in any Security other than to require delivery of such
certificates and other documentation or evidence as are expressly required by,
and to do so if and when expressly required by the terms of, this Indenture, and
to examine the same to determine substantial compliance as to form with the
express requirements hereof.
3.6. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Securities.

Trustee (i) evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of
any Security and (ii) such security or indemnity as may be required by either of

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 lieu of any such
destroyed, lost or stolen Security, a new Security of the same series and of
like tenor and principal amount and bearing a number not contemporaneously

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.
(d) 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

this Section in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Security shall constitute

and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other securities of that series duly issued
hereunder.

to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Securities.

punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid

Securities) is registered at the close of business on the record date (as
hereinafter defined) for such interest payment notwithstanding the cancellation
of such Security upon the registration of transfer or exchange subsequent to the
record date and prior to such interest payment date; provided, however, that if
and to the extent that the Company shall default in the payment of the interest
due on such interest payment date, such defaulted interest shall be paid to the
Persons in whose names outstanding Securities are registered at the close of
business on a subsequent record date established by notice given by mail by and
on behalf of the Company to the Holders of Securities not less than 15 days
preceding such subsequent record date, such record date to be not less than 10
days preceding the date of payment of such defaulted interest. The term "record
date" as used in this Section 3.7 with respect to any regular interest payment
date as may have been established as the record date with respect to an interest
payment date for Securities of such series in a Board Resolution in accordance
with Section 3.1 hereof. The Company may also make payment of any defaulted
interest in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of
any securities
-20-
<PAGE> 27
exchange on which the 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 sentence, such manner of payment shall
be deemed practicable by the Trustee.
(b) Subject to subsection (a) of this Section, each
Security delivered under this Indenture upon 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.
3.8. Persons Deemed Owners.
Prior to due presentment of a Security for registration of
transfer, the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee
may treat the Person in whose name such Security is registered as the owner of
such Security for the purpose of receiving payment of principal of (and premium,
if any) and (subject to Section 3.7) 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.
3.9. Cancellation.
All Securities surrendered for payment, redemption,
registration of transfer or exchange or for credit against any sinking fund
payment shall, if surrendered to any Person other than the Trustee, be delivered
to the Trustee and shall be promptly cancelled by it; provided, however, that if
surrendered to any Authenticating Agent, such Securities shall be promptly
cancelled by such Authenticating Agent and forwarded to the Trustee. 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 Securities 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. All cancelled Securities held

(if then generally in use), and, if so, the Trustee shall use "CUSIP" numbers in
notices of redemption as a convenience to Holders; provided that any such notice
may state that no representation is made as to the correctness of such numbers
either as printed on the Securities or as contained in any notice of a
redemption and that reliance may be placed only on the other identification
numbers
-21-
<PAGE> 28
printed on the Securities, and any such redemption shall not be affected
by any defect in or omission of such numbers. The Company will promptly notify
the Trustee of any change in the "CUSIP" numbers.
4. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE
4.1. Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture.
(a) This Indenture shall, upon Company Request, cease to
be of further effect (except as to any surviving rights of registration of

Officer receives written notice thereof.
5.2. Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.
(a) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
any series at the time Outstanding occurs and is continuing, then in every such
case the Trustee or the Holder of not less than 10% in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of that series may declare the principal amount and the
interest accrued thereon of all of the Securities of that series to be due and
payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee
if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount (or
specified amount) and interest accrued thereon shall become immediately due and
payable.
(b) At any time after such a declaration of acceleration
with respect to Securities of any series has been made 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 80% in principal amount of
the Outstanding Securities of that series, by written notice to the Company and
the Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

Trustee a sum sufficient to pay:

interest is lawful, interest upon overdue interest at the rate
or rates prescribed therefor in such Securities, and
(D) all sums paid or advanced by the
Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses
and disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and
counsel; and
(ii) all Events of Default with respect to
Securities of that series, other than the non-payment of the principal
of Securities of that series which have become due solely by such
declaration of acceleration, have been cured or waived as provided in
Section 5.13.
No such rescission shall affect any subsequent default or
impair any right consequent thereon.
5.3. Collection of Indebtedness and Suit for Enforcement by
Trustee.
(a) The Company covenants that if:
(i) default is made in the payment of any
interest on any Security when such interest becomes due and payable and
such default continues for a period of 5 days, or
(ii) default is made in the payment of the
principal of (or premium, if any, on) any Security at the maturity,
redemption, acceleration or otherwise thereof or in the deposit of any
sinking fund payment when and as due by the terms of any Security, the
Company will, upon demand of the Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of
the Holders of such Securities, the whole amount then due and payable
on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
interest on any overdue principal (and premium, if any) and, to the
extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable,
interest on any overdue interest, at the rate or rates prescribed
therefor in such Securities, 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.
(b) 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 and at the expense of the Company, may institute a judicial proceeding for
the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, may prosecute such proceeding to
judgment or final decree and may enforce the same against the Company or any
other obligor upon such Securities and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed
-26-
<PAGE> 33
to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company
or any other obligor upon such Securities, wherever situated.
(c) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of
any series occurs and is continuing, the Trustee may in its discretion proceed
to protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Holders of Securities of
such series by such appropriate judicial proceedings as the Trustee shall deem
necessary 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.
5.4. Trustee May File Proofs of Claim.
(a) In case of the pendency of any receivership,
insolvency, liquidation, bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, adjustment,
composition or other similar 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 proceeding 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 or advisable in order to have the claims of the
Trustee (including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel) and
of the Holders allowed in such judicial proceeding;
(ii) to collect and receive any moneys or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims; and
(iii) to distribute all amounts received with
respect to the claims of the Holders and the Trustee on their behalf,
and any custodian, receiver, assignee, trustee, liquidator, sequestrator or
other similar official in any such judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by
each Holder to make such payments to the Trustees and, in the event that the
Trustee shall consent to the making of such payments directly to the Holders, to
pay to the Trustee any amount due it for the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, and any other
amounts due the Trustee under Section 6.7.
(b) Subject to the provisions of Article Eight of this
Indenture, nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize the Trustee to
authorize or consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Holder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Securities
or the rights of any Holder thereof or to authorize the Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Holder in any such proceeding.

5.5. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of Securities.
All rights of action and claims under this Indenture or the
Securities may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the possession
of any of the Securities or the production thereof in any proceeding relating
thereto, and any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in
its own name as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment shall,
after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be for the
ratable benefit of the Holders of the Securities in respect of which such
judgment has been recovered.

payable on such Securities for principal (and premium, if any) and interest,
respectively.
FOURTH: To the Company.
5.7. 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:
(a) such Holder has previously given written notice to
the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the Securities of
that series;
(b) the Holders of not less than 10% in principal amount
of Outstanding Securities of that series shall have made written request to the

<PAGE> 35
(c) 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;
(d) the Trustee for 10 days after its receipt of such
notice, request and offer of indemnity has failed to institute any such
proceeding; and
(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request
has been given to the Trustee during such 20-day period by the Holders of a
majority in principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that series;
it being understood and intended that no one or more of 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 disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other Holder of Securities of such series or any Holder of any other
series, or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other
Holder of Securities of such series or to enforce any right under this
Indenture, except in the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable
benefit of all Holders of Securities of such series.
5.8. Unconditional Rights of Holders to Receive Principal, Premium
and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision 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 3.7) interest on such Security on the due dates expressed in
such Security (or, in the case of redemption, on the Redemption Date) and to
institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such rights shall
not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.
5.9. Restoration of Rights and Remedies.
If the Trustee or any Holder has instituted any proceeding to
enforce any right or remedy under this Indenture and such proceeding has been
discontinued or abandoned for any reason, or has been determined adversely to
the Trustee or to such Holder, then and in every such case, subject to any
determination in such proceeding, the Company, the Trustees and the Holders
shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder
and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Trustee and the Holders shall
continue as though no such proceeding had been instituted.
5.10. Rights and Remedies Cumulative.
Except an otherwise provided with respect to the replacement
or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Securities in the last
paragraph of Section 3.6, no right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved
to the Trustee or to the Holders 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
-29-
<PAGE> 36
remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or
employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.
5.11. Delay or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of the Trustee or of any Holder of any
Securities to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default
shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event
of Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this
Article or by law to the Trustee or to the Holders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Trustee or by the Holders,
as the case may be.
5.12. Control by Holders.
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 power conferred on the Trustee, with respect
to the Securities of such series, provided, that:
(a) such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule
of law or with this Indenture;
(b) the Trustee shall have been provided with an Opinion
of Counsel stating that the action so directed would not be unjustly prejudicial
to the Holders of any Securities of any series with respect to which the Trustee
is the trustee not taking part in such direction; and
(c) the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper
by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.
5.13. Waiver of Past Defaults.
(a) The Holders of not less than 80% 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:
(i) in the payment of the principal of (or
premium, if any) or interest on any Security of such series, or
(ii) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which under Article Ten cannot be modified or amended without the
consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Security of such series
affected.
(b) 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.
-30-
<PAGE> 37
5.14. 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,
suffered or omitted by it as Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in
its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, 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 the Trustee, to any suit instituted by any
Holder, or group of Holders, holding in the aggregate more than 10% in principal
amount of the Outstanding Securities of any series, or to any suit instituted by
any Holder for the enforcement of the payment of the principal of (or premium,
if any) or interest on any Security on or after the due dates expressed in such
Security (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date).
5.15. 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 exercise of any power
herein granted to the Trustee, but will suffer and permit the exercise of every
such power as though no such law had been enacted.

Securities of such series, specifically set forth in this Indenture,
and no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this
Indenture against the Trustee; and

with respect to Securities of such series, conclusively rely, as to
the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions
expressed therein, upon 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
provisions 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
-31-
<PAGE> 38
they conform to the requirements of this Indenture (but need not
confirm or investigate the accuracy of any mathematical calculations
or other facts stated therein).
(b) If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any series
has occurred and is continuing, the Trustee shall exercise, with respect to
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:
(i) this Subsection shall not be construed to limit the effect
of Subsection (a) of this Section;
(ii) 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;

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 Outstanding Securities of any series

method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred
upon the Trustee, under this Indenture with respect to the
Securities of such series; and
(iv) 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 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.
6.2. Notice of Defaults.
Within 60 days after the occurrence of any default hereunder with
respect to the Securities of any series, the Trustee shall transmit by
first-class mail to all Holders of Securities of such series, as their names and
addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such default hereunder
actually known to a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless such default
shall have been cured or waived; provided, however, that, except in the case of
a default in the
-32-
<PAGE> 39
payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any Security of
such series or in the payment of any sinking fund installment 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 or responsible officers of the Trustee in good
faith determine that the withholding of such notice is in the interest of the
Holders of Securities of such series; and provided, further, that in the case of
any default of the character specified in Section 5.1.(d) with respect to the
Securities of such series, no such notice to Holders shall be given until at
least 30 days after the occurrence thereof. For the purpose of this Section, the
term "default" 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.

costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by it in compliance with
such request or direction;

owner or pledge of Securities and, subject to Sections 6.8 and 6.13, may
otherwise deal with the Company with the same rights it would have if it were
not Trustee, Authenticating Agent, Paying Agent or such agent.
6.6. 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

6.7. Compensation and Reimbursement.
The Company agrees:
(a) to pay to the Trustee from time to time such compensation as
shall be agreed upon in writing 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);
(b) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee upon its request for all 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 willful misconduct;
(c) to fully indemnify the Trustee and any predecessor Trustee for,
and to hold it harmless against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or
expense (including taxes other than taxes based upon the income of the Trustee
and the reasonable fees and expenses of its agents and counsel) incurred without
negligence or willful misconduct on its part, arising out of or in connection
with the acceptance or administration of the trust or trusts hereunder,
including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or
liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or
duties hereunder; and
(d) that the obligations of the Company under this Section 6.7 to
compensate the Trustee and to pay or reimburse the Trustee for such
expenditures, disbursements and advances shall constitute additional
indebtedness hereunder. Such additional indebtedness shall be secured by a lien
prior to that of the Securities upon all property and funds held or collected by
the Trustee as such except funds held in trust for the benefit of the Holders of
particular Securities.
6.8. Disqualification; Conflicting Interests.
(a) If the Trustee has or shall acquire any conflicting interest, as
defined in the Trust Indenture Act, with respect to the Securities or any
series, it shall within 90 days after ascertaining that it has such conflicting
interest, either eliminate such conflicting interest or resign with respect to
the Securities of that series in the manner and with the effect hereinafter
specified in this Article.
(b) In the event that the Trustee shall fail to comply with the
provisions of Subsection (a) of this Section with respect to the Securities of
any series, the Trustee shall, within 30 days after the expiration of such 90
day period, transmit by mail to all Holders of Securities of that series, as
their names and addresses appear in the Security Register, notice of such
failure.

6.9. Corporate Trustee Required; Eligibility.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder with respect to each
series of Securities which shall be a corporation organized and doing business

District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers, having (together with any Person directly or indirectly controlling the
Trustee) a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation
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 corporation 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 the Trustee shall cease to be
eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section, it shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this
article.
6.10. Resignation and Removal; Appointment of Successor.
(a) No resignation or removal of the Trustee and no appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to this article shall become effective until the
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee in accordance with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11.
(b) The Trustee may resign at any time with respect to the
Securities of one or more series by giving written notice thereof to the
Company. If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at
the expense of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.
(c) The Trustee may be removed at any time with respect to the
Securities of any series by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount
of the Outstanding Securities of such monies, delivered to the Trustee and to
the Company If the instrument of acceptance by a successor Trustee required by
Section 6.11 shall not have been delivered to the Trustee within 30 days after
the giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition at
the expenses of the Company any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to such series.
(d) If at any time:
(i) the Trustee shall fail to comply with Section 6.8.(a)
after written request therefor by the Company or by any Holder who
has been a bona fide Holder of a Security of the series as to which
the Trustee has a conflicting interest for at least six months,
-36-
<PAGE> 43
(ii) the Trustee shall cease to be eligible under Section 6.9
and shall fail to resign after written request therefor by the
Company or by any such Holder, or
(iii) the Trustee shall become incapable of acting or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent or a receiver of the Trustee or of
its property shall be appointed or any public officer shall take
charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation,
then, in any such case, (x) the Company by a Board Resolution may remove the
Trustee with respect to all Securities, or (y) subject to Section 5.14, any
Holder who has been a bona fide Holder of a Security for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the removal of the Trustee with respect to all
Securities and the appointment of a successor Trustee or Trustees.
(e) If the Trustee shall resign, be removed or become incapable of
acting, or if a vacancy shall occur in the office of Trustee for any cause, with
respect to the Securities of one or more series, the Company, by a Board
Resolution, shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee or Trustees with respect
to the Securities of that or those series (it being understood that any such
successor Trustee may be appointed with respect to the Securities of one or more
or all of such series and that at any time there shall be only one Trustee with
respect to the Securities of any particular series) and shall comply with the
applicable requirements of Section 6.11. If, within one year after such
resignation, removal or incapability, or the occurrence of such vacancy, a
successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall be
appointed by Act of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the
Outstanding Securities of such series delivered to the Company and the retiring
Trustee, the successor Trustee so appointed shall, forthwith upon its acceptance
of such appointment in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section
6.11, become the successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series
and to that extent supersede the successor Trustee appointed by the Company. If
no successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series shall have
been so appointed by the Company or the Holders of Securities of such series and
accepted appointment in the manner required by Section 6.11, any Holder who has
been a bona fide Holder of a Security of such series for at least six months
may, on behalf of himself and all others similarly situated, petition any court
of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of such series.
(f) The Company shall give notice of each resignation and each
removal of Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series and each
appointment of a successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of any series
by mailing written notice of such event by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to
all Holders of Securities of such series as their names and addresses appear in
the Security Register. Each notice shall include the name of the successor
Trustee with respect to the Securities of such series and the address of its

6.11. Acceptance of Appointment by Successor.
(a) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to all Securities, every such successor Trustee so appointed shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Company and to the retiring Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the retiring Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee,
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become vested with all the
rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee; but, on the request
of the Company or the successor Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall, upon
payment of its charges and the charges of its agents and counsel, execute and
deliver an instrument transferring to such successor Trustee all the rights,
powers and trusts of the retiring Trustee and shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee all property and money held by such retiring
Trustee hereunder.
(b) In case of the appointment hereunder of a successor Trustee with
respect to the Securities of one or more (but not all) series, the Company, the
retiring Trustee and each successor Trustee with respect to the Securities of
one or more series shall execute and deliver an indenture supplemental hereto
wherein each successor Trustee shall accept such appointment and which
(i) shall contain such provision as shall be necessary or
desirable to transfer and confirm to, and to vest in, each successor
Trustee all the rights, powers, trusts and duties of the retiring
Trustee with respect to the Securities of that or those series to
which the appointment of such successor Trustee relates,
(ii) if the retiring Trustee is not retiring with respect to
all Securities, shall contain such provisions as shall be deemed
necessary or desirable to confirm that all the rights, powers,
trusts and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the
Securities of that or those series as to which the retiring Trustee
is not retiring shall continue to be vested in the retiring Trustee,
and
(iii) shall add to or change any of the provisions of this
Indenture as shall be necessary to provide for or facilitate the
administration of the trusts hereunder by more than one Trustee, it
being understood that nothing herein or in such supplemental
indenture shall constitute such Trustees co-trustees of the same
trust, that each such Trustee shall be trustee of a trust or trusts
hereunder separate and apart from any trust or trusts hereunder
administered by any other such Trustee and that no Trustee shall be
responsible for any act or failure to act on the part of any other
trustee hereunder; and upon the execution and delivery of such
supplemental indenture the resignation or removal of the retiring
Trustee shall become effective to the extent provided therein, such
retiring Trustee shall with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates have no further responsibility for the exercise of rights
and powers or for the performance of the duties and obligations
vested in the Trustee under this Indenture, and each such successor
Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
vested with all the rights, powers, trusts
-38-
<PAGE> 45
and duties of the retiring Trustee with respect to the Securities of
that or those series to which the appointment of such successor
Trustee relates; but, on request of the company or any successor
Trustee, such retiring Trustee shall duly assign, transfer and
deliver to such successor Trustee, to the extent contemplated by
such supplemental indenture, the property and money held by such
retiring Trustee hereunder with respect to the Securities of that or
those series to which the appointment of such successor Trustee
relates.
(c) Upon request of any such successor Trustee, the Company shall
execute any and all instruments for more fully and certainly vesting in and
confirming to such successor Trustee all such rights, powers and trusts referred
to in Paragraph (a) or (b) of this Section, as the case may be.
(d) No successor Trustee shall accept its appointment unless at the
time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be qualified and eligible
under this article.
6.12. Merger, Conversion, Consolidation or Succession to Business.
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to all or substantially all the corporate trust business
of the Trustee, shall be 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.
6.13. 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 four 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 9(c) of this section:
(i) an amount equal to any and all reductions in the amount
due and owing upon any claim as such creditor in respect of
principal, premium, if any, or interest, effected after the
beginning of such four 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
(ii) 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
-39-
<PAGE> 46
(ii) all property received by the Trustee in respect of any
claims as such creditor, either as security therefor, or in
satisfaction or composition thereof, or otherwise, after the
beginning of such four month period, or an amount equal to the
proceeds of any such property, 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
(1) payments made on account of any such claim by
any Person (other than the Company) who is liable
thereon, and
(2) the proceeds of the bona fide sale of any such
claim by the Trustee to a third Person, and
(3) 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 four 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 four 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 four 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 purposes of Paragraph (B), (C) and (D), property
substituted after the beginning of such four 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, 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-
-40-
<PAGE> 47
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 among
the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of other indenture securities in such
manner that the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of other indenture
securities realize, as a result of payment 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, calculated 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 Holders 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 "dividend" 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 (x) to apportion among the Trustee, the Holders and the holders of
other indenture securities, in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph
due consideration in determining the fairness of the distributions to be made to
the Trustee and the Holders 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 or 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 four month period shall be subject 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 four month period, it
shall be subject to the provisions of this subsection if and only if the
following conditions exist:
(iii) with 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 four
month period; and
(iv) such receipt of property or reduction of claim occurred
within four months after such resignation or removal.
-41-
<PAGE> 48
(b) There shall be excluded from the operation of Subsection (a) of
this section a creditor relationship arising from:
(i) 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;
(ii) 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 Holders
at the time and in the manner provided in this Indenture;
(iii) disbursements made in the ordinary course of business in
the capacity of trustee under an indenture, transfer agent,
registrar, custodian, paying agent, rights agent, fiscal agent or
depository, or other similar capacity;
(iv) 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;
(v) the ownership of stock or of other securities of a
corporation organized under the provisions of Section 25(a) of the
Federal Reserve Act, as amended, which is directly or indirectly a
creditor of the Company; and
(vi) 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) in this section.
(c) For the purposes of this section only:
(i) 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;
(ii) the term "other indenture securities" means securities
upon which the Company is an obligor outstanding under any other
indenture
(A) under which indenture and as to which securities the
Trustee is also trustee,
(B) which contains provisions substantially similar to
the provisions of this section, and
(C) under which a default exists at the time of the
apportionment of the funds and property held in such account;
-42-
<PAGE> 49
(iii) the term "cash transaction" means any transaction in
which full payment for goods or securities sold is made within seven
days after delivery of the goods or securities in currency or in
checks or other orders drawn upon banks or bankers and payable upon
demand;
(iv) 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;
(v) the term "Company" means any obligor upon the Securities;
and
(vi) the term "Federal Bankruptcy Act" means the Bankruptcy
Act or Title 11 of the United States Code.
6.14. Appointment of Authenticating Agent.
(a) At any time when any of the Securities remain outstanding the
Trustee 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
3.6, 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. Whenever 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 by an Authenticating Agent and a certificate of
authentication executed 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
Authenticating Agent, having a combined capital and surplus of not less than
$50,000,000 and 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.
-43-
<PAGE> 50
(b) 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
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.
(c) An Authenticating Agent may resign at any time by giving written
notice thereof to the Trustee and 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 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 provision
of this Section, the Trustee 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 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.
(d) The Trustee agrees to pay to each Authenticating Agent from time
to time reasonable compensation for its services under this section, and the
Trustee shall be entitled to be reimbursed for such payments.
(e) The provisions of Section 3.8, 6.4 and 6.5 shall be applicable
to each Authenticating Agent.
(f) Pursuant to each appointment made under this section, the

6.15. Trustee's Application for Instructions from the Company.
Any application by the Trustee for written instructions from the
Company may, at the option of the Trustee, set forth in writing any action
proposed to be taken or omitted by the Trustee under this Indenture and the date
on and/or after which such action shall be taken or such omission shall be
effective. The Trustee shall not be liable for any action taken by, or omission
of, the Trustee in accordance with a proposal included in such application on or
after the date specified in such application (which date shall not be less than
three Business Days after the date any officer of the Company actually receives
such application, unless any such officer shall have consented in writing to any
earlier date) unless prior to taking any such action (or the effective date in
the case of an omission), the Trustee shall have received written instructions
in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.
7. HOLDERS LISTS AND REPORTS BY TRUSTEE AND COMPANY
7.1. Company to Furnish Trustee Names and Addresses of Holders.
(a) The Company will furnish or cause to be furnished to the
Trustee:
(i) semi-annually, not more than 15 days after each record
date with respect to a regular interest payment date for each series
of Securities, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Holders of such series as
of such record date; provided, however, that if Securities of any
series shall have more than two regular interest payment dates in
each calendar year or shall not bear interest, then such list with
respect to such series of Securities will be furnished to the
Trustee semi-annually on such dates as may be agreeable to the
Trustee; and
(ii) at such other times as the Trustee may request in
writing, within 30 days after the receipt by the Company of any such
request, a list of similar form
-45-
<PAGE> 52
and content as of a date not more than 15 days prior to the time
such list is furnished.
(b) Any such list may be dated as of the date not more than 15 days
prior to the time such information is furnished or caused to be furnished and
need not include information received after such date; provided, however, that
if the Trustee is the sole Security Registrar with respect to any series of
Securities, no such list need be furnished with respect to such series.
7.2. Preservation of Information; Communications to Holders.
(a) The Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of holders contained in the most
recent list furnished to the Trustee as provided in Section 7.1 and the names
and addresses of holders received by the Trustee in its capacity as sole
Security Registrar, if so acting. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to
it as provided in Section 7.1 upon receipt of a new list so furnished.
(b) If three or more Holders (herein referred to as "applicants")
apply in writing to the Trustee, and furnish proof reasonably satisfactory to
the Trustee that each such applicant has owned a Security for a period of at
least six months preceding the date of such application, and such application
states that the applicants' desire to communicate with other Holders with
respect to their rights under this Indenture or under the Securities and is
accompanied by a copy of the form of proxy or other communication which such
applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five business
days after the receipt of such application, at its election, either:
(i) afford such applicants access to the information preserved
at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a), or
(ii) inform such applicants as to the approximate number of
Holders whose names and addresses appear in the information
preserved at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section
7.2(a), and as to the approximate cost of mailing to such Holders
the form of proxy or other communication, if any, specified in such
application.
If the Trustee shall elect not to afford such applicants access to
such information, the Trustee shall upon the written request of such applicants,
mail to each Holder whose name and address appears in the information preserved
at the time by the Trustee in accordance with Section 7.2(a) a copy of the form
of proxy or other communication which is specified in such request, with
reasonable promptness after a tender to the Trustee of the material to be mailed
and of payment, or provision for the payment, of the reasonable expenses of
mailing, unless within five days after such tender the Trustee shall mail to
such applicants and file with the Commission, together 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
or would be in violation of applicable law. Such written statement shall specify
the basis of such opinion. If the Commission, after opportunity for hearing upon
the objections
-46-
<PAGE> 53
specified in the written statement so filed, shall enter an order refusing to
sustain any of such objections or if, after the entry of an order sustaining one
or more of such objections, the Commission shall find, after notice and
opportunity for hearing, that all the objections so sustained have been met and
shall enter an order so declaring, the Trustee shall mail copies of such
material to all such Holders with reasonable promptness after the entry of such
order and renewal of such tender; otherwise the Trustee shall be relieved of any
obligation or duty to such applicants respecting their application.
(c) Every Holder of Securities, by receiving and holding the same,
agrees with the company and the Trustee that neither the Company nor the Trustee

Trustee by the holders of such Senior Indebtedness or their representative,
then, unless and until such event of default shall have been cured or waived or
shall have ceased to exist, no payment shall be made by the Company with respect
to the principal of or interest on the Securities or to acquire any of the
Securities or on account of the redemption provisions for the Securities;
provided, however, that if such default is a default other than a default
referred to in Clause (i) of this Section 13.3.(b), nothing contained in this
Section 13.3.(b) shall prevent the Company from making payments of interest,
when due, on the Securities; and provided further, that if such default has not
become the subject of pretrial proceedings within 120 days after the occurrence
thereof (in the case of a default specified in clause (A) of this Section
13.3.(b)), then the Company shall resume making any and all required payments in
respect of the Securities.
(c) In the event that notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
13.3, the Company shall make any payment to the Trustee on account of the
principal of or interest on the Securities or on account of the redemption
provisions (other than as permitted by Section 13.3.(b)), after the happening of
an event of default of the type specified in Clause (i) or (ii) of Section
13.3.(b) above or after receipt by the Company and the Trustee of written notice
as provided in Section 13.3.(b) above of any other event of default with respect
to any Senior Indebtedness, then, unless and until such event of default shall
have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist, such payment (subject
to the provisions of Sections 13.7 and 23.8) shall be held by the Trustee, in
trust for the benefit of, and shall be paid forthwith over and delivered to, the
holders of Senior Indebtedness (pro rata as to each of such holders on the basis
of the respective amounts of Senior Indebtedness held by them) or their
representative, as their respective interests may appear, for application to the
payment of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid to the extent necessary to
pay all Senior Indebtedness in full in accordance with its terms, after giving
effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Indebtedness. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
-59-

default under any Senior Indebtedness or under any agreement pursuant to which
Senior Indebtedness may have been issued.
13.4. Securities Subordinated to Prior Payment of All Senior Indebtedness
on Dissolution, Liquidation or Reorganization of Company.
Upon any distribution of assets of the Company upon any dissolution,
winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company (whether in bankruptcy,
insolvency or receivership proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of
creditors or otherwise):
(a) the holders of all Senior Indebtedness shall first be entitled
to receive payment in full (or to have such payment duly provided for) of the
principal thereof and interest due thereon and other amounts due in connection
therewith before the Holders are entitled to receive any payment on account of
the principal of or interest on the Securities;
(b) any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind
or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the Holders or
the Trustee on behalf of the Holders would be entitled except for the provisions
of this article, shall be paid by the liquidating trustee or agent or other
person making such payment or distribution directly to the holders of Senior
Indebtedness or their representative to the extent necessary to make payment in
full of all Senior Indebtedness remaining unpaid, after giving effect to any
concurrent payment or distribution or provision therefor to the holders of such
Senior Indebtedness; and
(c) in the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any payment or
distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, shall be reflected by the Trustee or the Holders or any
Paying Agent (or, if the Company is acting as its own Paying Agent, money for
any such payment or distribution shall be segregated or held in trust) on
account of principal of or interest on the Securities before all Senior
Indebtedness is paid in full, or effective provision made for its payment, such
payment or distribution (subject to the provisions of Sections 13.7 and 13.8)
shall be received and held in trust for and shall be paid over to the holders of
the Senior Indebtedness until all such Senior Indebtedness shall have been paid
in full, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution or
provision therefor to the holders of such Senior Indebtedness.
The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee of any
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the Company or any
assignment for the benefit of the Company's creditors.
13.5. Securityholders to be Subrogated to Rights of Holders of Senior
Indebtedness.
Subject to the payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, the
Holders of Securities shall be subrogated to the rights of the holders of Senior
Indebtedness to receive payments or distributions of assets of the Company
applicable to the Senior Indebtedness until all amounts owing on the Securities
shall be paid in full, and for the purpose of such subrogation no such payments
or distributions to the holders of Senior Indebtedness by or on
-60-
<PAGE> 67
behalf of the Company or by or on behalf of the Holders by virtue of this
article which otherwise would have been made to the Holders shall, as between
the Company and the Holders, be deemed to be payment by the Company to or on
account of the Senior Indebtedness, it being understood that the provisions of
this article are and are intended solely for the purpose of defining the
relative rights of the Holders, on the one hand, and the holders of Senior
Indebtedness, on the other hand.
13.6. Obligations of the Company Unconditional.
Nothing contained in this article or elsewhere in this Indenture or
in any Security is intended to or shall impair, as between the Company and the
Holders, the obligation of the Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to
pay to the Holders the principal of and interest on the Securities as and when
the same shall become due and payable in accordance with their terms, or is
intended to or shall affect the relative rights of the Holders and creditors of
the Company other than the holders of Senior Indebtedness, nor shall anything
herein or therein prevent the Trustee or any Holder from exercising all remedies
otherwise permitted by applicable law upon default under this Indenture, subject
to the rights, if any, under this article of the Holder of Senior Indebtedness
in respect of cash, property or securities of the Company received upon the
exercise of any such remedy. Upon any distribution of assets of the Company
referred to in this article, the Trustee, subject to the provisions of Sections
6.1 and 6.3, and the Holders shall be entitled to rely upon any order or decree
made by any court of competent jurisdiction in which such dissolution, winding
up, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceedings are pending, or a
certificate of the liquidating trustee or agent or other person making any
distribution to the Trustee or to the Holders, for the purpose of ascertaining
the persons entitled to participate in such distribution, the holders of Senior
Indebtedness and other Indebtedness of the Company, the amount thereof or
payable thereon, the amount or amounts paid or distributed thereon and all other
facts pertinent thereto or to this article.
13.7. Trustee and Paying Account Entitled to Assume Payments Not
Prohibited in Absence of Notice.
The Trustee and Paying Agent shall not at any time be charged with
knowledge of the existence of any facts which would prohibit the making of any
payment to or by the Trustee or the Paying Agent or the taking of any other
action under this article by the Trustee unless and until the Trustee or the
Paying Agent shall have received written notice thereof from the Company or from
one or more holders of Senior Indebtedness or from any representative therefor
and, prior to the receipt of any such written notice, the Trustee and Paying
Agent, subject to the provisions of Sections 6.1 and 6.3, shall be entitled in
all respects conclusively to assume that no such facts exist.
13.8. Application by Trustee of Moneys Deposited With It.
Money or securities deposited in trust with the Trustee pursuant to
and in accordance with Section 10.1 shall be for the sole benefit of
Securityholders and, to the extent
-61-
<PAGE> 68
allocated for the payment of Securities, shall not be subject to the
subordination provisions of this article. Otherwise, any deposit of moneys by
the Company with the Trustee or any Paying Agent (whether or not in trust) for
the payment of the principal of or interest on any Securities shall be subject
to the provisions of Sections 13.1, 13.2, 13.3, 13.4 and 13.5 except that, if
two Business Days prior to the date on which by the terms of this Indenture any
such moneys may become payable for any purpose (including, without limitation,
the payment of either the principal of or the interest, on any Security), the
Trustee shall not have received with respect to such monies the notice provided
for in Section 13.7, then the Trustee or the Paying Agent shall have full power
and authority to receive such moneys and to apply the same to the purpose for
which they were received, and shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary which may be received by it during or after such two Business Days.
This section shall be construed solely for the benefit of the Trustee and Paying
Agent and nothing herein shall be construed to relieve any Holders from the
duties imposed upon them under Section 13.4.(c) with respect to moneys received
in violation of the provisions of this article.
13.9. Subordination Rights Not Impaired by Acts or Omissions of Company or
Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
No right of any present or future holders of any Senior Indebtedness
to enforce subordination as provided herein shall at any time in any way be
prejudiced or impaired by any act or failure to act, in good faith, by any such
holder, or by any noncompliance by the Company with the terms of this Indenture,
regardless of any knowledge thereof which any such holder may have or be
otherwise charged with. The holders of Senior Indebtedness may extend, renew,
modify or amend the terms of the Senior Indebtedness or any security therefor
and release, sell or exchange such security and otherwise deal freely with the
Company, all without affecting the liabilities and obligations of the parties to
the Indenture or the Holders. No provision in any supplemental indenture which
affects the superior position of the holders of the Senior Indebtedness shall be
effective against the holders of the Senior Indebtedness who have not consented
thereto.
13.10. Securityholders Authorize Trustee to Effectuate Subordination of
Securities.
Each Holder by his acceptance of Securities authorizes and expressly
directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such action as may be necessary or
appropriate to effectuate the subordination provided in this article and
appoints the Trustee his attorney-in-fact for such purpose, including, in the
event of any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company (whether in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, reorganization or
similar proceedings or upon an assignment for the benefit of creditors or any
other similar remedy or otherwise) tending towards liquidation of the business
and assets of the Company, the immediate filing of a claim for the unpaid
balance of his Securities in the form required in said proceedings and causing
said claim to be approved. If the Trustee does not file a proper claim or proof
of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior to 30 days before the
expiration of the time to file such claim or claims, then the holders of Senior
Indebtedness are hereby authorized to have the right to file and are hereby
authorized to file an appropriate claim for and on behalf of the Holders.

<PAGE> 69
13.11. Right of Trustee and Paying Agent to Hold Senior Indebtedness.
The Trustee and the Paying Agent, in their individual capacities,
shall be entitled to all of the rights set forth in this article in respect of
any Senior Indebtedness at any time held by either of them to the same extent
any other holder of Senior Indebtedness, and nothing in this indenture shall be
construed to deprive the Trustee or the Paying Agent of any of its rights as
such Holder.
13.12. This Article Not to Prevent Events of Default.
The failure to make a payment on account of principal of or interest
on the Securities by reason of any provision of this article shall not be
construed as preventing the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section 5.1.
13.13. No Fiduciary Duty Created to Holders of Senior Indebtedness.
The Trustee shall not be deemed to owe any fiduciary duty to the
holders of Senior Indebtedness and shall not be liable to any such holders if
the Trustee shall in good faith mistakenly pay over or distribute to Holders of
Securities or to the Company or to any other person cash, property or securities
to which any holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be entitled by virtue of this
Article or otherwise. With respect to the holders of Senior Indebtedness, the
Trustee undertakes to perform or to observe only such of its covenants or
obligations as are specifically set forth in this Article and no implied
covenants or obligations with respect to holders of Senior Indebtedness shall be
read into this Indenture against the Trustee.
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.

OSI PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
ONE YEAR NOTE -- [ ]%
This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of debentures, notes or
other evidences of indebtedness of the Company (hereinafter called the
"Securities") of the series hereinafter specified, all issued or to be issued
under and pursuant to an indenture dated as of January 6, 1999 (herein called
the "Indenture"), duly executed and delivered by the Company to The Bank of New
York, Trustee (herein called the "Trustee"), to which Indenture and all
indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a description of
the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and immunities thereunder
of the Trustee, the Company and Holders of the Securities. The Securities may be
issued in one or more series, which different series may be issued in various
aggregate principal amounts, may as between different series and within a given
series 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), and may otherwise vary
as the Indenture provides. This Note is one of a series designated as the One
Year Notes -- [ ]% of the Company (hereinafter called the "Notes"), limited in
aggregate principal amount to the amount issuable upon exercise of the Company's
Rights declared as dividends on January 6, 1999 pursuant to a rights agreement
dated as of January 6, 1999 between the Company and The Bank of New York, as
rights agent.
Interest on the Notes shall be calculated on the basis of a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months.
If an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, with respect to
the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal of the Notes may be
declared due a payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the
Indenture.
The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,
the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Company and the rights of the Holders of the Securities of each series to be
affected under the Indenture at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the
consent of the Holders of not less than 80% in principal amount of the
Securities at the time Outstanding (as that term is defined in the Indenture) of
each series to be affected. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
the Holders of 80% in aggregate principal amount of the Securities of each
series at the time Outstanding, on 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 under the Indenture and their consequences.
Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and
binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this Note and of any
Security issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof
or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made
upon this Note.
<PAGE> 75
No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Company, which
is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of (and premium, if any) and
interest on this Note at the times, place and rate, and in the coin or currency,
herein prescribed.
As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Security
Register upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office
or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of (and premium, if
any) and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company duly
executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Notes of this series, of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees.
The Notes are issuable only in registered form without coupons in
denominations of $10 and any integral multiple thereof. As provided in the
Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the Notes are
exchangeable for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of a different
authorized denomination, as requested by the Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge shall be made for any such registration of
transfer or exchange, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
This Note is subordinated in right of payment to the prior payment
in full of all Senior Indebtedness. "Senior Indebtedness" means the principal of
interest on and other amounts due on or in connection with (i) any Indebtedness
of the Company (other than the Notes), whether outstanding on the date of this
Indenture or hereafter created, incurred, assumed or guaranteed in any manner by
the Company; and (ii) deferrals, renewals, extensions or refundings of, or
amendments, modifications or supplements to, such Indebtedness, unless the
instrument creating or evidencing such Indebtedness or the assumption or
guarantee thereof expressly provides that such Indebtedness shall not be senior
in right of payment to the Notes. Senior Indebtedness shall not, however,
include Indebtedness of the Company to a Subsidiary for money borrowed or
advances from such Subsidiary.
Prior to due presentment of this Note for registration of transfer,
the Company, the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat
the person in whose name this Note in registered as the owner hereof for all
purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the
Trustee nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.
